AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF CONFUCIANISM IN THE CHINESE INHERITANCE LAW ON WOMEN IN CHINA Section 1. Gender sciences https://doi.org/10.29013/EJHSS-20-5-3-14 Yuhan (Claire) Liu, Wellesley High School Nadia Ben-Marzouk, supervisor, candidate of philosophy at University of California, Los Angeles E-mail: [email protected] AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF CONFUCIANISM IN THE CHINESE INHERITANCE LAW ON WOMEN IN CHINA Abstract. This research examines the economic impact of inheritance inequality on women in China by analyzing the connection between Confucianism, the Chinese inheritance law, and access to economic and education opportunities for women in rural vs. urban communities. First, I investigate how Confucian patriarchal values manifest in specific articles of the Chinese inheritance law through a close reading of those articles. Next, I demonstrate how unequal inheritance rights for women results in an economic disadvantage, supporting this claim by surveying the data on workforce rep- resentation and the income gap in both rural and urban communities. Lastly, I argue that the subtle sexism embedded in the inheritance law also contributes to educational disparity in China, ultimately forming a cycle of gender inequality that negatively impacts women. It is argued that the embedded- ness of Confucianism in the Chinese inheritance law promotes gender disparity and results in the marginalization of women from various economic and educational opportunities. The conclusions from this study propose actionable steps that individuals in local and national government can take to address issues of gender inequality in China. Keywords: Gender inequality, Confucianism, Chinese inheritance law, female economic rights, education opportunity.

  • Chapter IX: Ukrainian Musical Folklore Discography As a Preserving Factor
    Art Spiritual Dimensions of Ukrainian Diaspora: Collective Scientific Monograph DOI 10.36074/art-sdoud.2020.chapter-9 Nataliia Fedorniak UKRAINIAN MUSICAL FOLKLORE DISCOGRAPHY AS A PRESERVING FACTOR IN UKRAINIAN DIASPORA NATIONAL SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE ABSTRACT: The presented material studies one of the important forms of transmission of the musical folklore tradition of Ukrainians in the United States and Canada during the XX – the beginning of the XXI centuries – sound recording, which is a component of the national spiritual experience of emigrants. Founded in the 1920s, the recording industry has been actively developed and has become a form of preservation and promotion of the traditional musical culture of Ukrainians in North America. Sound recordings created an opportunity to determine the features of its main genres, the evolution of forms, that are typical for each historical period of Ukrainians’ sedimentation on the American continent, as well as to understand the specifics of the repertoire, instruments and styles of performance. Leading record companies in the United States have recorded authentic Ukrainian folklore reconstructed on their territory by rural musicians and choirs. Arranged folklore material is represented by choral and bandura recordings, to which are added a large number of records, cassettes, CDs of vocal-instrumental pop groups and soloists, where significantly and stylistically diversely recorded secondary Ukrainian folklore (folklorism). INTRODUCTION. The social and political situation in Ukraine (starting from the XIX century) caused four emigration waves of Ukrainians and led to the emergence of a new cultural phenomenon – the art and folklore of Ukrainian emigration, i.e. diaspora culture. Having found themselves in difficult ambiguous conditions, where there was no favorable living environment, Ukrainian musical folklore began to lose its original identity and underwent assimilation processes.

Belinsky was in good company with his assessment. Such sentiments are rife in the critical essays and articles of the first third of the nineteenth century. A decade earlier, Aleksandr Bestuzhev had declared that, “we have a criticism but no literature” (Leighton, Romantic Criticism 67). Several years before that, Pyotr Vyazemsky voiced a similar opinion in his article on Pushkin’s Captive of the Caucasus : “A Russian language exists, but a literature, the worthy expression of a mighty and virile people, does not yet exist!” (Leighton, Romantic Criticism 48). These histrionic claims are evidence of Russian intellectuals’ growing apprehension that there was nothing Russian about the literature produced in Russia. There was a prevailing belief that

  • The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature
    From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Dorian Townsend Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages and Linguistics Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of New South Wales May 2011 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Townsend First name: Dorian Other name/s: Aleksandra PhD, Russian Studies Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: Languages and Linguistics Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The Slavic vampire myth traces back to pre-Orthodox folk belief, serving both as an explanation of death and as the physical embodiment of the tragedies exacted on the community. The symbol’s broad ability to personify tragic events created a versatile system of imagery that transcended its folkloric derivations into the realm of Russian literature, becoming a constant literary device from eighteenth century to post-Soviet fiction. The vampire’s literary usage arose during and after the reign of Catherine the Great and continued into each politically turbulent time that followed. The authors examined in this thesis, Afanasiev, Gogol, Bulgakov, and Lukyanenko, each depicted the issues and internal turmoil experienced in Russia during their respective times. By employing the common mythos of the vampire, the issues suggested within the literature are presented indirectly to the readers giving literary life to pressing societal dilemmas. The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain the vampire’s function within Russian literary societal criticism by first identifying the shifts in imagery in the selected Russian vampiric works, then examining how the shifts relate to the societal changes of the different time periods.

ABSTRACT Gender is a psychological component which is given by the society to a person, while sex is a biological component which is awarded by God. However, there are certain conditions in which the biological aspects are put to challenge with the social and psychological aspects of gender. Hermaphrodites are a third gender role, who is neither male or female, man nor woman but contains the element of both. One may question that if they are neither male nor female then who they are and whether they are equally treated in our society. Looking at the challenges faced by hermaphrodites, one need to question what choices these hermaphrodites have in our society. We being a responsible citizen of the society, how can we make their lives less miserable and make them respectable or functional members of our society.

  • Hidden Voices and Disengagement: the Gift of Learning from Political Earthquakes IES Perspectives on HR 2017
    Paper Hidden voices and disengagement: the gift of learning from political earthquakes IES Perspectives on HR 2017 Amanda Callen, Senior Research Fellow March 2017 Member Paper 132 We didn’t see that coming 2016 was a politically astonishing year for many people. For others, however, it was the first year that they finally made themselves heard. A year when people whose voices had previously been contained and often disregarded, took the opportunities of the UK referendum and the US presidential election to propel their countries, and their astonished leaders, into momentous change. One of the most striking things unifying the two voting results was the complete failure of many people to see the results coming. We know that the polls almost entirely missed the target, even up to and including the final day of voting. The politically powerful failed, or perhaps refused, to believe that so many people could feel so strongly that they would overturn the status quo and propel the nation into risky, uncharted territory. The news media too, largely failed to predict the result, almost until results were declared, listening mostly only to voices from within existing power structures. It seems no one in power listened to, or took seriously, the voices of the people who were finally given a chance to be heard through the ballot box. Only long after the horse had bolted was the security of the stable door examined. Organisations can learn from politics about listening, without the pain This is all rich navel-gazing fodder for political and social commentators to ponder and dissect and since the elections there has been much debate about how ‘everyone’ got it so wrong.
