This burgeoning area of inquiry draws its inspiration and approaches from many sources outside “the China field,” a realm no longer hermetically sealed within exclusive logics of sinol- ogy or area studies. Research about Chinese women has been enriched by the growth of women’s studies abroad and in China; by debates about gen- der as a category of analysis and its uneasy relationship to sex and sexual- ity; by conversations inside established scholarly disciplines about gender’s entanglement with politics, migration, nation building, and modernity; by discussions across the disciplines about agency, resistance, subjectivity, and voice; and by several waves of refigured Marxism in the wake of feminist activity, socialism’s demise, and the development of postcolonial scholar- ship. During the same period, China’s reform and opening have changed the conditions for scholarly work by both foreign and Chinese scholars. Gender has appeared at the center of new debates in the Chinese press, within the state, and among emergent groups such as women’s studies scholars, social workers, legal experts, and labor analysts. Available sources and opportuni- ties for research and fieldwork in China have expanded for both Chinese scholars and foreigners, giving rise to scholarly conversations that some- times intersect and sometimes trace utterly separate trajectories. To complicate this endeavor further, writing about women routinely crosses disciplinary boundaries. For China, the disciplines that investigate “women” shift with the period of time under investigation as well as with changing disciplinary norms. Historians, for instance, used to stop at the edge of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, at which point the pursuit of knowledge was handed over to social scientists. Now historians often 1 UC_Hershatter-revs.indd 1 11/9/2006 10:37:59 AM / Introduction traverse the 1949 divide, borrowing methods from anthropology and litera- ture. Even now, most studies of women in post-Mao China are produced by anthropologists, sociologists, and scholars of contemporary literature. The field being surveyed here, then, ranges within and across disciplines. The emergence of women’s studies has enabled many of these projects, but not all the scholars discussed herein locate themselves within “women’s studies.” This situation of crumbling boundaries presents some not-so- innocent taxonomical choices: To follow the interdisciplinary practices of women’s studies and risk a runaway bibliography? To draw on categories of analysis developed outside Chinese contexts, including the categories of “woman” and “gender” themselves, and risk analytical imperialism? To stay within the national boundaries of China (but which twentieth-century boundaries should we choose?) and risk reifying “the nation” as a timeless entity? To roam through recently imagined territories such as “Greater China” and risk taking “civilization” or “culture” for granted? To treat the term “Chinese” as synonymous with Han and risk subimperialism or the reinforcement of a simplistic Han-minority dyad? To include scholarship written for a Chinese audience and risk eliding its different conditions of production? To ignore such scholarship and thereby assume a provincial “we” as the only ones authorized to speak? To proceed chronologically, as historians habitually do, and thus assume the familiar signposts of political change (1911; 1949; 1978) as significant markers in a gendered landscape, as well as the very habit of thinking causally? To proceed thematically and thus naturalize categories such as “family” or “work” without attending to specificities of time and space? Faced with such questions, I have made choices that are unlikely to please everyone. My aim is to produce a usable and bounded piece of work, avoiding telegraphically brief discussion of the materials that are included while acknowledging the dispersed and overlapping inquiries that shape the scholarly subject of “Chinese women.” This volume is interdisciplinary but limited, focusing on works produced since 1970 in history, anthropol- ogy, sociology, and politics.

  • Women's Access to Land: an Asian Perspective (EGM/RW/2011/EP.3)
    EGM/RW/2011/EP.3 September 2011 ENGLISH ONLY UN Women In cooperation with FAO, IFAD and WFP Expert Group Meeting Enabling rural women’s economic empowerment: institutions, opportunities and participation ___________________________ Accra, Ghana 20-23 September 2011 Women’s Access to Land: An Asian Perspective Expert paper prepared by: Nitya Rao∗ School of International Development, University of East Anglia United Kingdom Introduction Women’s access to and control over land can potentially lead to gender equality alongside addressing material deprivation.1 Land is not just a productive asset and a source of material wealth, but equally a source of security, status and recognition. Substantive gender equality is both relational and multi-dimensional, cutting across race, class, caste, age, educational and locational hierarchies and can only be achieved if rights are seen as socially legitimate. Sixty percent of the world’s population and 57 percent of the poor live in Asia’s 48 countries, though having only 30 per cent of the world’s arable land.2 Asia’s agriculture is dominated by highly productive smallholder cultivators, the average size of household land-holdings being between 1-2 acres.3 Land ownership and distribution patterns vary greatly in Asia. There are four major types of inheritance and land management systems relevant to women’s rights to land. These include: the largely patrilineal South Asia, with land a private asset owned and acquired mainly through inheritance down the male line; bilateral and matrilineal South East Asia, where land is a private asset acquired through customary inheritance systems; the communist/socialist states like China and Vietnam, where land is vested in the State but households granted use rights by the local village committees, and the Central Asian states marked by conflicts between centralised state institutions and private, clan-based, land management systems.

QI WANG ABSTRACT: This article studies post-2000 Chinese feminist activism from a generational perspective. It operationalises three notions of gene- ration—generation as an age cohort, generation as a historical cohort, and “political generation”—to shed light on the question of generation and generational change in post-socialist Chinese feminism. The study shows how the younger generation of women have come to the forefront of feminist protest in China and how the historical conditions they live in have shaped their feminist outlook. In parallel, it examines how a “po- litical generation” emerges when feminists of different ages are drawn together by a shared political awakening and collaborate across age. KEYWORDS:

Hierarchical Sisterhood. Supporting Women’s Peace- building through Swedish Aid to Bosnia and Herzegovina 1993–2013, Örebro Studies in History 19, 322 pages. This dissertation examines possibilities and challenges faced by interna- tional interveners in a post-socialist and violently divided area. The study object is the Swedish foundation Kvinna till Kvinna, formed in 1993 during the Bosnian war, originating from the peace movement and supported by the Swedish government aid agency Sida. The aim is to contextualize and analyze Kvinna till Kvinna’s two decades of engage- ment in peacebuilding in Bosnia. The encounter with domestic women’s NGOs is of particular interest. By focusing on rhetoric, practice and silences, the ambition has been to understand the international/local relationship from the perspective of both actors.

  • Gender and the Family in Contemporary Chinese-Language Film Remakes
    Gender and the family in contemporary Chinese-language film remakes Sarah Woodland BBusMan., BA (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Languages and Cultures 1 Abstract This thesis argues that cinematic remakes in the Chinese cultural context are a far more complex phenomenon than adaptive translation between disparate cultures. While early work conducted on French cinema and recent work on Chinese-language remakes by scholars including Li, Chan and Wang focused primarily on issues of intercultural difference, this thesis looks not only at remaking across cultures, but also at intracultural remakes. In doing so, it moves beyond questions of cultural politics, taking full advantage of the unique opportunity provided by remakes to compare and contrast two versions of the same narrative, and investigates more broadly at the many reasons why changes between a source film and remake might occur. Using gender as a lens through which these changes can be observed, this thesis conducts a comparative analysis of two pairs of intercultural and two pairs of intracultural films, each chapter highlighting a different dimension of remakes, and illustrating how changes in gender representations can be reflective not just of differences in attitudes towards gender across cultures, but also of broader concerns relating to culture, genre, auteurism, politics and temporality. The thesis endeavours to investigate the complexities of remaking processes in a Chinese-language cinematic context, with a view to exploring the ways in which remakes might reflect different perspectives on Chinese society more broadly, through their ability to compel the viewer to reflect not only on the past, by virtue of the relationship with a source text, but also on the present, through the way in which the remake reshapes this text to address its audience.

  • Cewsjournal Nr. 120, 29.10.2019
    8 Nr. 120|29.10.2019 Editorial Liebe Leser*innen, mit dem von Anke Lipinsky, Alice Farneti und Heike Pantelmann verfassten Schwerpunktthema des vor Ihnen liegenden CEWSjournals wollen wir den Dialog zwischen Forschung und Praxis zum Thema der sexualisierten Gewalt in der Wissenschaft fördern. Das nächste CEWSjournal wird einen zweiten Beitrag zum gleichen Thema enthalten, darauf aufbauend sollen die strukturierten Informations- angebote des CEWS um eine entsprechende Themenseite ergänzt werden. Zudem lade ich Sie schon heute zum CEWS-Doppelkolloquium am 2. Dezember 2019 in Köln ein: Alice Farneti wird das Fallbeispiel der Montrealer Universitäten vorstellen, während Lisa Mense und Heike Mauer ihre aktuellen Untersuchungsergebnisse zur Umsetzung gesetzlicher Vorgaben zur Verhinderung sexualisierter Gewalt an NRW-Hochschu- len referieren werden. Auf diese Art und Weise kombiniert das CEWS Forschung und Wissenstransfer mit dem Ziel, effektive Strategien zur Gewährleistung eines für alle Geschlechter sicheren Lebens- und Arbeitsortes in der Wissenschaft implementie- ren zu können. SCHWERPUNKT: Die bereits 2003 gegründete bukof-Kommission „Sexualisierte Diskriminierung und Gewalt“ (SDG) definiert in ihrem 2018 veröffentlichten Grundsatzpapier „Sexualisierte Diskriminierungen und Gewalt sind Formen der Geschlechter- GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE diskriminierung, Verstöße gegen den Grundsatz der Gleichbehandlung und Angriffe auf die Würde und Persönlichkeitsrechte der Betroffenen. Hierzu IN ACADEMIA zählen unerwünschte sexualisierte Anspielungen und Handlungen bis hin zu schweren Straftaten wie Stalking, Nötigung oder Vergewaltigung.“ Bis heute gibt es in Deutschland keine bundesweite Untersuchung zu sexualisierter Diskri- minierung und Gewalt in der Wissenschaft, die Hochschul(en)leitungen zeichnen sich eher durch ein ambivalentes Verhaltensmuster aus: Fälle sexualisierter Gewalt, so sie überhaupt von den Betroffenen „gemeldet“ werden, bleiben möglichst unter der Decke, vermeintlich um der akademischen Reputation der Einrichtung nicht zu schaden.
