The Maltese Gender Corrective Mechanism—Dashed Hopes And Aspirations?, Josann Cutajar Dec 2024

The Maltese Gender Corrective Mechanism—Dashed Hopes And Aspirations?, Josann Cutajar

Journal of International Women's Studies

This paper explores the media discourse surrounding the implementation of the gender corrective mechanism in Malta, focusing on online English-language newspapers from March 26, 2019 to May 2022. The study analyses how women journalists, experts, and politicians perceived and reported on this legislative initiative, which aimed to address the underrepresentation of women in Maltese politics. By conducting a reflexive thematic analysis, the paper identifies recurring themes related to the historical context, barriers to women’s political participation, and the effectiveness of the quota system. The findings reveal varied perspectives among women on the mechanism’s potential to foster gender equality in parliament, …


Unpacking Affect In Taylor Swift’S Feminism, Ophelia Xiner Tong Dec 2024

Unpacking Affect In Taylor Swift’S Feminism, Ophelia Xiner Tong

Journal of International Women's Studies

While affective feminism and Taylor Swift’s feminist engagement have been explored in various contexts, there remains a gap in scholarly research examining how Swift transitions affect into explicit feminist practice. This paper aims to investigate how Swift utilizes a range of emotions, from negative to positive, to express her feminist sentiments, while also examining the limitations of these expressions and possible complementary strategies from her fanbase. The first section of the paper employs a theoretical framework based on affective feminism by incorporating Chadwick’s (2021) concept of “discomfort” as a valuable epistemological tool in feminist practice to contextualize Swift’s political emergence …


Feminist History: Forgotten Women Writers Of The Generation Of 1927 In Spain, Feixiang Liu Dec 2024

Feminist History: Forgotten Women Writers Of The Generation Of 1927 In Spain, Feixiang Liu

Journal of International Women's Studies

This study primarily focuses on the women writers of the Generation of 1927 in Spain who rose to prominence in the 1920s. Often referred to as Las Sinsombrero, these women writers have made significant contributions to gender equality and literature; however, despite their outstanding achievements, knowledge of this literary movement tends to focus only on the male writers, and it is only in recent years that the women writers in this generation have been rediscovered. The historical context in which these writers emerged—a period marked by the rise of feminism in Spain—is considered as an important part of understanding the …


Cultural Linguistics And Identity Negotiation Within The Singaporean Chinese Diaspora In Hwee Hwee Tan's Mammon Inc., Hanwen Wang, Halimah Mohamed Ali Dec 2024

Cultural Linguistics And Identity Negotiation Within The Singaporean Chinese Diaspora In Hwee Hwee Tan's Mammon Inc., Hanwen Wang, Halimah Mohamed Ali

Journal of International Women's Studies

This study explores the representation of Singaporean Chinese diasporic identity in Hwee Hwee Tan’s novel Mammon Inc. with the help of cultural linguistics. This article seeks to analyze how the novel contributes to understanding diasporic identity and cultural negotiation, with a focus on how the portrayal of the main character reshapes the delicate equilibrium between traditional values and global capitalist pressures. Drawing on Farzad Sharifian’s cultural conceptualization framework and Gary B. Palmer’s ethnosemantic analysis, this study focuses on cultural schemas and metaphors in the novel. We identify passages in Mammon Inc. that illustrate themes of identity negotiation, cultural displacement, and …


“We Haven’T Our Feet In The Soil”: Jamesian Feminism And Cosmopolitanism In The Portrait Of A Lady, Dong Xiaoshuang Dec 2024

“We Haven’T Our Feet In The Soil”: Jamesian Feminism And Cosmopolitanism In The Portrait Of A Lady, Dong Xiaoshuang

Journal of International Women's Studies

This article reconsiders feminist themes in Henry James’s The Portrait of a Lady by analyzing American expatriate women characters who experience liminal situations that create both alienation and opportunity. James’s expatriate women feel displaced and marginalized, yet this othering also allows them a freedom from European customs. This position of alterity or liminality allows for the women characters in James’s work to develop independence and confidence not just in themselves but also in their native culture. James’s nuanced observation and sympathy with his women characters result in an androgynous literary expression, intricately connecting his feminism and cosmopolitanism. By examining the …


Screaming In Silence: Narrative Voice In Latvian Writer Gundega Repše’S Fiction, Sandra Meskova Dec 2024

Screaming In Silence: Narrative Voice In Latvian Writer Gundega Repše’S Fiction, Sandra Meskova

Journal of International Women's Studies

The contemporary field of narratology delineates narrative voice as a complex effect of formal and pragmatic elements such as the point of view presented, focalization, tone, modality, and the spatiotemporal models of narrative. The intricate nature of narrative voice arises from its reliance on pragmatic parameters through which it articulates the author’s intentions, ideologies, and values. Consequently, the narrative voice reaches into the extratextual realm, assuming the role of a medium for thematization and value judgement. With a focus on the contemporary Latvian writer Gundega Repše’s novels Īkstīte (Thumbelina) (2000) and Alvas Kliedziens (The Tin Scream) (2002), this paper investigates …

Implied Warranties Of Seaworthiness: Applying The Knowing Neglect Standard In Time Hull Insurance Policies, Derek P. Langhauser Dec 2024

Implied Warranties Of Seaworthiness: Applying The Knowing Neglect Standard In Time Hull Insurance Policies, Derek P. Langhauser

Maine Law Review

Time hull marine insurance policies provide insurance for a definite period against damage to or loss of a vessel. Even in cases in which a ship owner expressly warrants to an insurer that a vessel will be seaworthy when the policy takes effect, and unless the insurer waives all warranties, American admiralty law implies a warranty of seaworthiness as a condition of the contract. This implied warranty increases the insurer's chance of recovering his premium by mitigating his risk that the vessel will be damaged or lost. Although American admiralty law strives to remain harmonious with English admiralty law, American …


The Denial Of Bail Under Maine's "Proof Evident Or Presumption Great" Standard, Maureen Dea Dec 2024

The Denial Of Bail Under Maine's "Proof Evident Or Presumption Great" Standard, Maureen Dea

Maine Law Review

When the framers of the Maine Constitution gathered in Portland in the fall of 1819, they decided that the document, unlike the Massachusetts Constitution on which it was based, should guarantee a right to bail pending trial. The convention adopted, apparently without debate or dissent, the following provision as part of the Declaration of Rights in article I . . .


The Afro-American And The Constitution: Colonial Times To The Present, James L. Watson Dec 2024

The Afro-American And The Constitution: Colonial Times To The Present, James L. Watson

Maine Law Review

The theme of this essay is the Afro-American and the Constitution: Colonial Times to the Present. When I was told about this theme, my first reaction was to follow the advice of the famous black philosopher, Satchel Paige, who said, "Don't look back because what is behind you might be catching up." My discipline, however, forced me to look back at the Constitution and particularly how it has affected black Americans.


A Genealogy Of Founders, Frank M. Coffin Dec 2024

A Genealogy Of Founders, Frank M. Coffin

Maine Law Review

Two hundred years ago this spring George Washington wrote to our fellow Mainer, General Henry Knox, that because of the illness of his mother he would not be able to attend the Philadelphia Convention. If her health had not speedily improved, we might have had quite a different kind of Bicentennial, for both Washington and Benjamin Franklin, though largely silent in the debates, were palpable sources of strength. As it is, we have the happy occasion to celebrate what Everett Ladd has called "the expression of a nation-defining consensus on political values," our nationalizing principle, the one supreme bond linking …

Change Is In The Minds Of The Beholders: A Sociocognitive Comparison Of Crisis Perceptions And Change Predictions: Insights From China, New Zealand, And Slovenia, Zhonghui Ding, Matevž Rašković Dec 2024

Change Is In The Minds Of The Beholders: A Sociocognitive Comparison Of Crisis Perceptions And Change Predictions: Insights From China, New Zealand, And Slovenia, Zhonghui Ding, Matevž Rašković

Economic and Business Review

Inspired by research on the "geography of thought" within social psychology, we present a cross-cultural comparative study of sociocognitive patterns between China, New Zealand, and Slovenia. We study COVID-19 risk perceptions and also explore predictions of economic trends under four specific economic scenarios. Our results show that the East-versus-West demarcation in terms of cultural boundaries is useful but insufficient to understand culturally driven predictions of economic trends. In times of economic downturn, such as the one caused by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there seem to be universal tendencies towards pessimism. However, significant differences emerge in times of economic growth. Hence, …
