Abstract:

Patriarchy is a social structure deeply rooted in Indonesian culture, influencing various aspects of life, including education, economy, and politics. This study aims to analyze how Gita Savitri, through her YouTube channel, constructs a critical discourse against patriarchal culture, using Qāsim Amīn's feminist paradigm as a framework for analysis. This research uses qualitative methods through a literature review and critical discourse analysis of the video content produced by Gita. The results show that Gita utilizes digital media as an alternative space to voice gender equality and critici

Abstract:

Patriarchal dominance has been a prevalent theme in English literature throughout its history. Many literary works reflect and critique the societal norms and power structures that have historically favored men over women. Patriarchal norms prescribe rigid gender roles and expectations for men and women, reinforcing stereotypes and inequalities. Women are often relegated to traditional roles as caregivers, homemakers, and subordinate members of the family, while men are expected to be the primary breadwinners and decision-makers. These gender roles perpetuate unequal power dynamics and limit w

Abstract:

Abstract. The research on Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892) is motivated by the social reality of patriarchal oppression in marriage. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The study examines the critique of patriarchal oppression—the state in which societies grant men more power and privilege than women. The figure of John portrays patriarchal oppression as a husband who oppresses the narrator as a wife. The study reveals the effects of patriarchal oppression on the narrator’s life. There is also the narrator’s resistance to patriarchal oppression. This re

Abstract:

This paper examines M.R. Carey’s fascinating zombie novel, The Girl with All the Gifts. While scholars question whether or not a female-oriented apocalypse narrative can exist, as thegenre is essentially rooted in imbalanced gender dynamics of ancient texts, this paper uses an ecofeminist critique to posit that the zombie apocalypse represented by Carey is a challenge toward the patriarchal values running rampant in the genre. This ecofeminist critique, while superficially offering a comforting message about female empowerment, actually offers a serious warning in regards to the insidious patr

Abstract:

This paper focuses on Honig’s critical reworking of the concept of inclination and her concept of “slow regicide”. With “slow regicide” Honig describes a performative critique of the violence of the patriarchal order. However, what Honig underestimates, I argue, is that this intervention must itself be non-violent if it is not to reinstate patriarchal violence. My suggestion is that paying closer attention to the performativity of inclination shows how “slow regicide” enables a non-violent refusal in which the normativity of patriarchy is frustrated and fails.

Karen Orren's critique wages more war with itself than it does with my main arguments and evidence, most of which she does not engage directly. The bulk of my essay was devoted to textual critiques of Tocqueville, Myrdal, Hartz, and a number of more recent authors. I argued that their assumptions that liberal democratic traditions formed the core of American political culture led to inadequate accounts of major systems of ascriptive hierarchy, especially racist, nativist, and patriarchal ones. Orren mentions none of the authors I critiqued except Carol Pateman, whom she invokes in a paragraph

This article examines two stories by Angela Carter, “The Bloody Chamber” (1979) and “The Executioner’s Beautiful Daughter” (1974) to account for Carter’s unique and ambivalent dismantling of patriarchal myths. Carter conflates two patriarchal tropes, castration and decapitation, to figure the oppression of women while allowing for an avenue of resistance. Using the French version of feminism, the work of Hélène Cixous in particular, the psychoanalytic theories of Freud and Lacan, and the postmodern critique of Linda Hutcheon, the article contends that Carter uses the trope of decapitation to l

This article demonstrates the radical character of Locke's attack on patriarchalism in the TwoTreatises of Government, in part by showing that that attack implies the rejection of the natural and divine order to which patriarchalism appealed to justify itself. In this way, Locke's attack on patriarchalism, which prepared the way for his individualistic liberal politics, is also shown to be an important part of his solution to the political problem of religion. Special attention is given to Locke's disagreement with the Bible concerning the family and its place in political life.

We relate the work of one of the major critics of the Western metaphysical patriarchal order, Luce Irigaray, to the critique of the colonial/modern gender system by the Nigerian feminist scholar Oyĕrónké Oyĕwùmí. Oyĕwùmí's work is often rejected based on the argument that it is empirically wrong. We start by problematizing this line of thinking by providing an epistemological interpretation of Oyĕwùmí's claims. We then draw Irigaray and Oyĕwùmí into conversation, and show how this bolsters

Abstract:

Since the 1990s Islam in Indonesia has shifted in orientation and gradually shed its depoliticized position. After the fall of the New Order in 1998 many female authors came to the fore and voiced their opinions about societal expectations, gender roles and norms that regulate female sexuality. Muslim women have addressed in their fiction issues regarding Islam, modernity and how to balance Islamic teachings with globalized forces that have changed Indonesian ways of living. This article analyzes three novels by Muslim author Abidah El Khalieqy in which the protagonists search for ways to shap

Abstract:

This research paper is an attempt to evaluate the feminist perspective of Indian society in Shashi Deshpande’s <em>That Long Silence </em>(1988). Feminism is a movement that originated in the West but with the decline in the status of women in India also  and the ensuing efforts made during the freedom struggle to pave the way for equal status in society so there emanates a need for feminist studies in India. Hence Indian feminists like  Shashi Deshpande who's quest for identity and independence in a patriarchal society has become controlling titles in literature, reflects

Abstract:

This paper focuses on exploring the role of women in the Roko Molas Poco rite in Manggarai. This study applies a discourse approach by referring to Simone de Beauvoir's concept of feminism. She views women as "the Other," often an object in a patriarchal society. The patriarchal system adopted by the Manggaraians is deeply rooted and thus influences the treatment of women. Femininity has a very important meaning in this rite, because the wood called siri bongkok (main pole) is symbolized as virgin who will provide life, offspring, fertility for humans. It’s a symbol that connects humans with n

The current study aims to explore how patriarchal oppression targets the female body and how it enforces women to become subalterns having no voice in the selected fictional work, Half the Sky by Kristoff and WuDunn. For this purpose, Simone De Beauvoir's The Second Sex (1949) and Bryan Turner's The Body theory (1984) are used as theoretical frameworks to explore the selected novel.

Abstract:

Primatology supports a feminist ethical naturalism rooted in evolutionary biology. Patriarchal exploitation can be condemned as contrary to women's natural needs and capacities, although prudence is required in recognizing how ecological circumstances limit the range of practicable reform. Donna Haraway's history of primatology, however, illustrates the tendency of some feminists to reject naturalistic realism in favor of nihilistic relativism. Such relativism is disastrous for the feminist position, because it deprives the feminist of any ground in nature for criticizing patriarchal customs.

According to Jacques Derrida, phonocentrism, the so-called supremacy of speech over writing, is in a close relationship with logocentrism, which is based upon male language. Phonocentric/logocentric worldview holds agency primarily as a matter of orality in that the spoken word is assumed to be offering a direct course to empowerment. Feminist theorists Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva aim to show the inhibitory impacts of logocentric language on women and suggest women should find alternative ways of expression to ward off its effects, which means women should invest in new mod

These groups, often silenced in historical accounts, are reimagined in Carey’s historiographical revision, which endeavors to construct a more inclusive history that amplifies the voices of the oppressed.

Mahasweta Devi’s “Draupadi” (2002) is a groundbreaking narrative that reimagines classical mythology to critique contemporary socio-political injustices, particularly the systematized oppression and despotism of women and marginalized communities in India. By subverting the mythological Draupadi from the Mahabharata, Devi crafts Dopdi Mejhen, a tribal woman and a Naxalite revolutionary, as a symbol of disobedience and resistance against patriarchal and state violence and its inhumanity. This study tries to explore how Devi reclaims myth to address issues of gender, caste, and class oppression,

In line with Lonzi’s argumentation, this crisis resulted in what the communist Massimo Cacciari described as ”negative thinking” in 1969, and what Lonzi in her essay describes as a ”critique of the crisis”.

Abstract:

The Stoning of Soraya M. vividly depicts systematic gender inequality in films, therefore highlighting the terrible reality experienced by women in patriarchal countries. Filmed from a feminist perspective, the movie questions the junction of legal inequity, gender-based violence, and the silence of women’s voices. Tragically accused of adultery and put to public stoning, Soraya’s tragedy reveals the misuse of judicial processes in patriarchal settings that devalues women’s life and voices. The movie shows how gender-based violence functions as a weapon of societal control meant to silence and
