  • The Roles of Social Status, Age, Gender, Familiarity, and Situation in Being Polite for Bugis Society
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 9, No. 5; 2013 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education The Roles of Social Status, Age, Gender, Familiarity, and Situation in Being Polite for Bugis Society Murni Mahmud1 1 Faculty of Languages and Literature, State University of Makassar, Indonesia Correspondence: Murni Mahmud, Faculty of Languages and Literature, State University of Makassar, Indonesia. E-mail: [email protected] Received: February 6, 2013 Accepted: March 6, 2013 Online Published: April 27, 2013 doi:10.5539/ass.v9n5p58 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v9n5p58 Abstract This paper examines the important roles of social status, age, gender, familiarity, and situation in being polite for Bugis people. This paper is based on my study on politeness in Bugis society, conducted in 2005 in two different Bugis communities in South Sulawesi: the first was in Awangpone, a rural area a few kilometres north of the regional peninsula of South Sulawesi; the second was in Parepare, the second city of the province located on the west coast, about 155 km north of Makassar. The result of the research shows that the choice of being polite for Bugis people is influenced by differences in social status, age, gender, familiarity, and situation. In both areas of the study, there is a different practice of being polite influenced by those above factors. In rural area, social status differences become the most important factor whereas in urban area, gender differences can become the higher priority in encoding their politeness. Keywords: politeness, social status, age, gender, familiarity, situation, Bugis society 1.

  • Gender and Violence School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University Spring 2018 Syllabus Dr
    CONF 707: Gender and Violence School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University Spring 2018 Syllabus Dr. Leslie Dwyer Time: Tuesdays 7:20-10:00 p.m. Place: Founders Hall 318 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: By appointment, S-CAR Metropolitan Building, 5th Floor Course Description This course examines gender, gender-based violence and the gendered dimensions of violent conflict. Drawing upon a trans-disciplinary range of social theories and materials from both U.S. and international contexts, it investigates themes including the social construction of gender, intersectionality and feminist politics, gender and post-conflict peace-building, wartime sexual violence, militarism and gender, and the gendered dynamics of power. At the heart of this course is a commitment to questioning assumptions about the very nature of gender and violence. Does “violence” consist only of forcible acts, as defined by legislation and international interventions meant to address problems such as domestic violence or wartime rape? What happens if we instead view violence as comprising structures of gendered inequality and narratives of gendered constraint, phenomenon that may involve no direct physical assault, but nevertheless have serious material effects on bodies and lives? We likewise will question our taken-for-granted framings of “gender.” Is gender something socially imposed on individuals or a script for behavior bestowed at birth by nature? How do individuals’ actions and interactions reinforce or challenge social constructions of gender? How do gender and violence intersect to influence the trajectory of violent conflict and limit the potential for resolution and justice? This course is not a lecture course.

    Gender-Bending Roles in Japanese Theater: Cross-Gender Performance in Kabuki and Takarazuka A Master’s Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Humanities for the Degree of Master’s in Music Studies (Arts and Culture) Department of Musicology by Jessie M. Bodell Amsterdam, The Netherlands June 2018 Supervisor: Barbara Titus Instead of saying that all gender is this or all gender is that, let's recognize that the word gender has scores of meaning built into it. It's an amalgamation of bodies, identities, and life experiences, subconscious urges, sensations, and behaviors, some of which develop organically, and others which are shaped by language and culture. Instead of saying that gender is any one single thing, let's start describing it as a holistic experience. ―S.

  • Contesting Bridewealth-Classification of the Bugis Marriage Prestations
    Contesting Bridewealth-Classification of the Bugis Marriage Prestations Bahram Naderil1 [email protected] Abstract This paper re-examines the classification of Bugis marriage prestations in anthropological terms as presented by Susan B. Millar, Sharyn G. Davies, and Christian Pelras. Widely classified as a bridewealth system, or loosely as a dowry system, the Bugis practice of material-giving prior to marriage, I argue, has been reduced to terminologies which neither encompass nor reflect the essence of the practice. If anthropologists feel the need to classify the practice under anthropological terms, despite the option of using Bugis’ own indigenous “terms,” there is an umbrella term which I believe represents and articulates the practice— marriage prestations. In an attempt to reorient the use of anthropological terms, I begin with looking at the Bugis marriage practices/rituals through the lens of performative theory. Performative theory helps us to discover how identities of gender, kinship, and status, each with its own role in Bugis marriage, are (re)produced through ongoing ritual performances. The discussion of ritual performativity of these identities, when posed side-by-side with classic kinship discussion in anthropology, reveals the inadequacy of the category of bridewealth to encompass the Bugis practice of material-giving. Keywords: Bugis, gender, status, marriage, performativity, bridewealth 1 The author is an Arryman Fellow at the Buffett Institute and Northwestern’s Anthropology Department.

So, to begin my book-length analysis of this Hong Kong-Singapore work, I want to reflect upon Bugis Street as a cinematic text of cultural anxiety. While it is true that one can isolate moments of cultural and political anxieties in its narrative and thematic foci, I am instead interested here in the film’s cultural reception and, consequently, how that response has an impact on the way scholarly critical work on the film is perceived.
