This article addresses abject representations of the feminized body and home. Abjection plays a key role in the creation of ambiguity and unease, encompassing the paradoxes of transgression, which is key to the critical examination of social relations and constructions. I conduct an investigation of portrayals of abject spaces in two sites, the body and the home, which are analyzed through three films: I Walked with a Zombie (1943), Evil Dead II (1987) and The Others (2001). In my analysis, I show how these films repeatedly portray feminized bodies and homes that, when transgressive, are seen as abject until order is re-established at the conclusion of the film. In these horror texts, boundaries dissolve and create potentially progressive moments which can disturb gendered norms and binaries, but ultimately, the boundaries are reified and re-normed, reinscribing patriarchal gender codings of space.
Cuerpos violados e invasiones del hogar: representaciones horrificas del cuerpo feminizada y el hogar
Éste artículo trata las representaciones abyecto del cuerpo feminizado y el hogar. Abyección tiene un papel critica en la creación de ambigüedad y inquietud, abarcando las paradojas de trasgresión, lo cual es importante para examinar críticamente las relaciones y construcciones sociales. Realizo una investigación de las interpretaciones de espacios abyectos en dos sitios, el cuerpo y el hogar, a través de tres películas: I Walked with a Zombie (1943), Evil Dead II (1987) y The Others (2001). En mi análisis, muestro como éstas películas interpretan repetidamente los cuerpos feminizados y hogares que, cuando trasgresivos, se ven como abyecto hasta que se reestablece el orden al fin de la película. En éstos textos horrores, las fronteras disuelven y crean momentos potencialmente progresivos que pueda perturbar el género y las normas y dicotomías, pero últimamente se reifican y se renormalizan las fronteras, reescribiendo el género y los patriarcal códigos de espacio. 相似文献

A brief introduction to the background, current concerns, and methodologies of Family Impact Analysis is presented. The concept of Family Impact Analysis will be delineated by a discussion of the background of Family Impact Analysis, its particular timeliness now, the relationship of Family Impact Analysis to other policy or program analyses, the nature of potential policy impacts on families, and different research strategies appropriate for Family Impact Analysis. The basic elements of a step-by-step methodology for engaging in family impact analysis is briefly outlined. These steps include: 1) identification of the policy for analysis; 2) identification of family impacts of concern; 3) specification of the relationship between policy components and hypothesized family impacts; 4) design and implementation of the research; 5) analysis of findings; and 6) evaluation of and presentation of findings. The current state of the art regarding family impact analysis as a methodology will be reviewed, and recommendations for further development and utilization of this methodology will be offered. 相似文献
Recent research efforts on policy innovation and diffusion largely have focused upon policymaking at the state government level. In this article we seek to develop an understanding of the ways momentum for policy change can be generated among receptive local governments. We use gun control policymaking within California to illustrate how local government characteristics, the presence of regional associations, and the establishment of interest groups may lead to policy development and diffusion. We also identify linkages between interest groups, focusing events, and the successful use of a new image of gun violence as a public health problem, yielding insights into strategies that may be used successfully to promote policy change. 相似文献

As a theory of social reproduction, agency provides an attractive framework for understanding how material culture relates to everyday social action, to long-standing cultural institutions, and to wholesale culture change. What remains under-explored in archaeology is the question of how to proceed in linking observable material patterning to the agency of ancient social reproduction and how to understand the role of material culture in this dynamic process. This introduction (to this and the next issue of JAMT (Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory)) explores why there is a need for archaeology to develop explicitly articulated “middle range interpretive methodologies” that are appropriate for agency-oriented research in the past. 相似文献
