South African contributions to LGBTI education issues     

Tiffany Jones 《Sex education》2019,19(4):455-471

ABSTRACT

South Africa stands out in the African region for its protection of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) rights. This article examines South Africa’s contributions to local policy for LGBTIs and to work on LGBTI issues in education policy and education rights progress internationally. It also considers broader South African contributions to the theorisation of gender and sexuality. Data derive from an analysis of 102 interviews with key informants participating in high-level global networking for LGBTI students’ rights, and documentary analysis showing how stakeholders characterise South African contributions to transnational LGBTI education work. Informants identified how such contributions have a strong human rights emphasis, furthering post-colonial resistance to simplistic gender and sexuality classification schema imposed via imperial colonising dynamics. While South African work in this area has also promoted and facilitated research, it has at times been limited by ambivalence from its leadership. The nation’s early adoption of constitutional rights, relationship rights and educational equity provisions as acts of decolonisation contribute valuable African LGBTI work examples to the region. Their success encourages further funding for South-South transnational LGBTI education work.  相似文献   

Being ‘nice’ or being ‘normal’: girls resisting discourses of ‘coolness’     

Carrie Paechter  Sheryl Clark 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2016,37(3):457-471

In this paper we consider discourses of friendship and belonging mobilised by girls who are not part of the dominant ‘cool’ group in one English primary school. We explore how, by investing in alternative and, at times, resistant, discourses of ‘being nice’ and ‘being normal’ these ‘non-cool’ girls were able to avoid some of the struggles for dominance and related bullying and exclusion found by us and other researchers to be a feature of ‘cool girls’ groupings. We argue that there are multiple dynamics in girls' lives in which being ‘cool’ is only sometimes a dominant concern. There are some children for whom explicitly positioning themselves outside of the ‘cool’ group is both resistant and protective, providing a counter-discourse to the dominance of ‘coolness’. In this paper, which is based on observational and interview data in one school in the south of England, we focus on two main groupings of intermediate and lower status girls, as well as on one ‘wannabe’ ‘cool girl’. While belonging to a lower status group can bring disadvantages for the girls we studied, there were also benefits.  相似文献   

市民形象论     

马以鑫 《天津师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2001,(2):53-59

20世纪的中国文学创作，开始注目于市民形象。这正是现代化都市出现以后的新进展。众多的小说中，描叙了市民形象的众多类型。市民形象有其独特的个性。他们在生活上追求“精致”，这就呈现出与农民、“市井”阶层不一样的格调。市民心理多为随遇而安又不甘落后，这正是都市生活环境所造成的。这些特点一直延续到20世纪80年代末、90年代初。  相似文献

顾海燕 《邯郸师专学报》2006,(1)

本文依据制度经济学和社会分层的相关理论,将男性劳动力和女性劳动力放在国家再分配经济体制和市场经济体制的制度框架中,通过微观分配领域的就业制度以及宏观分配领域的社会保障制度的分析,指出社会转型期的劳动力市场中,男性劳动力与女性劳动力不是根本对立的群体划分,而是体制内男劳动力、体制内女劳动力、体制外男劳动力和体制外女劳动力四个逐级递减的性别交错层次。  相似文献   

汉字形旁类化研究   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

毛远明 《西南师范大学学报(人文社会科学版)》2006,32(6):173-177

形音性质的汉字，在使用状态下，受上下文字形、字义的影响，出现大量的形旁类化字，对汉字系统的变化、汉字与它记录的词语的对应关系、汉字的写词显义功能等方面都产生了较大的影响。形旁类化字与假借字、区别字形式相同，而实质不同。讨论汉字形旁类化问题是汉字发展史研究的一项重要任务。  相似文献

In a practical mood: Studying for a profession in the changing kibbutz     

Arza Avrahami  Yechezkel Dar 《Higher Education》2004,47(1):51-71

The influence of recent social and economicchanges in the Israeli kibbutz on the prolongedstage of youth was examined with respect tohigher education. The young people on thekibbutz of the late 1990s appear lessmoratorial and more instrumental about theirfuture and commence higher education earlierthan in previous age cohorts. When starting tostudy, their educational and professionalprospects are crystalized as those of thenon-kibbutz student. Most of them opt foracademic, degree-granting studies, but a higherpercentage than among the general populationprefer vocation-oriented colleges to theresearch oriented universities. In choosingfields of study, they prefer more appliedstudies like engineering, social services andpractical arts and are less likely to choosesciences and the humanities. De-communalizationand economic instability of the kibbutz,inadequate preparation in kibbutz high schoolsfor the competitive admission to theuniversities, exposure to a restricted range ofoccupations during adolescence, and lack of acultural tradition supportive of elitiststudies may explain this practical mood, moresalient among kibbutz women.  相似文献
