New Article Published || The Position and Role of Women in the Private Sphere of the Slovene Counter-Revolutionary Camp
By Julija Suligoj, PhD Scholar at Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
This article discusses the profound impact of World War II on women's lives on the home front in the present-day Republic of Slovenia. The world war brought substantial changes to the lives of civilian populations. Women's roles became increasingly crucial on the home front, especially within the private sphere of the family. Here, they not only continued to perform their traditional tasks but also took on new responsibilities that were demanded of them in these challenging circumstances.

New Article Published: “Challenging Stereotypes: A Conversation Analysis Approach to Students’ Narratives about Gender”
By Chiara Facciani, Post-Doc Fellow, University for Foreigners of Siena, Italy.
The article discusses the critical role of early education in preventing gender-based violence (GBV). It highlights a study where class seminars were used to address gender stereotypes and GBV in Italian middle schools. The study, involving 112 twelve-year-olds across five classes, was documented through 600 minutes of video recordings. Analysis of these recordings showed that, despite some narratives reinforcing stereotypes, the majority encouraged equal gender relations. This research underlines the positive influence school programs can have on students’ perceptions of gender roles and violence.

New article: “Female Monstrosity, Body and The Exorcist (1973)”
By Prachi Kambli, Assistant Professor of English, Ramnarain Ruia Autonomous College, Mumbai, India.
The paper explores the connection between horror and the female body, highlighting the common portrayal of women as villains in various cultures. It examines how these representations reflect societal fears and attitudes towards femininity. The study argues that the female body is often seen as ‘other’ and that horror films frequently depict women as subjugated or brutalized. It also considers the societal effects of depicting female ghosts and the dynamics between male and female characters in horror settings. Specifically, the paper delves into the portrayal of horror and monstrosity in “The Exorcist,” analyzing how the film portrays terror through the female victim’s body, moving beyond traditional analyses to uncover deeper meanings.

New article published: "“We will treat you well because you are helping our nation”: Migrant Wives and Functionalist Visions of Belonging in South Korea"
By Joshua Allen, PhD student, Global Gender and S*xuality Studies, University at Buffalo.
The article discusses the rise in cross-border marriages in South Korea over the last three decades, with non-Korean women marrying Korean men. These marriages have accounted for a significant portion of annual marriages in the country since 2005. The author examines the changing societal norms and state policies that have influenced the perception and treatment of migrant wives. The article identifies three “functionalist visions of belonging” that have shaped the legitimacy of migrant wives in South Korea:
Ethnonational: Migrant wives were judged based on their ethnic similarities or differences with Koreans.
Social-Confucian: Their acceptance was based on their ability to fulfill traditional gender roles within Confucian society.
Biopolitical: They were valued for their potential to contribute biologically by bearing children and culturally by raising future Korean citizens.
These visions reflect the evolving expectations and roles assigned to migrant wives in South Korean society.

A new article, “Reading Between Worlds: Gendered Narratives in Fiction” by Alexandra Stamson, Purchase College, State University of New York, USA, is online now at https://cgsjournal.com/v1n103.
It explores the use of fictional narratives, particularly secondary world stories, to examine how gender is portrayed across different worlds. The article highlights how this portrayal often reinforces gender stereotypes, hierarchical biases, and sustained gender oppression. It introduces three narrative design concepts: gender-apparent, gender-insinuated, and gender-absent, each explaining how gender can be depicted in secondary worlds. The piece aims to provide analytical methods for understanding contemporary gender systems in fiction and the potential impact of perpetuating harmful ideologies.

This comprehensive research "Threads of Rebellion: Indigenous Gender Dynamics among Nahua, Purépecha, and Totonac women in the Mexico State, Mexico" explores the intricate interplay of agency, power dynamics, cultural nuances, resistance, and indigenous perspectives. The study specifically focuses on Nahua, Purépecha, and Totonac women and girls who migrate from rural to urban areas in the State of Mexico, particularly in San Francisco Tepojaco, Cuautitlán Izcalli. The perpetuation of traditional gender roles among these communities is examined, considering the influence of ethnic and cultural frameworks and the prevalence of gender-based violence. The paper delves into the complexities of traditional gender roles within the context of migration from rural to urban areas in the State of Mexico.

6th April, International Asexuality Day (IAD)
Solidarity, diversity, and inclusivity!
International Asexuality Day (IAD) is celebrated on April 6th to raise awareness of asexuality and related identities like demisexual and grey-asexual. It’s a day of advocacy, education, and solidarity, particularly supporting the ace community in diverse cultural contexts. IAD underscores the importance of recognizing asexuality as a valid orientation, advocating for respect and acceptance. The first IAD in 2021 involved organizations from over 26 countries and included activities like virtual gatherings and artistic showcases. The day emphasizes the value of non-sexual relationships and challenges misconceptions about asexuality.

20/03/2024

Intersectionality was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, a prominent American civil rights advocate and a leading scholar of critical race theory in her 1989 article “Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and S*x: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory, and Antiracist Politics.” Intersectionality is a theoretical framework that illuminates how race, class, and gender intersect, shaping individuals’ perspectives and collective experiences. These dimensions of identity do not operate independently; rather, they interact to produce specific forms of social oppression. When considering the cultural and political agency of Black women and girls across diverse backgrounds, intersectionality becomes crucial in addressing educational inequality. It helps researchers, policymakers, and practitioners understand how race and gender intersect, resulting in varying degrees of privilege and disadvantage. By framing educational issues through an intersectional lens, we gain insights into educational policy, relationships in schools, and students’ identities and experiences. Black girls, in particular, serve as a focal point for analysis, allowing exploration of how other factors—such as ethnicity, language, sexuality, age, citizenship status, and religion—also intersect within educational contexts.
For our inaugural issue, we invite exciting discussions on these areas.
