Useless suffering: Learning from the unintelligible and the re-formation of community     

Lisa Farley 《Interchange》2004,35(3):325-336

This paper draws on the philosophical works of Emmanuel Levinas — namely, his notion of “useless suffering” — in order to open up questions of learning and community beyond typical configurations that structure (and sometimes limit) social attachments according to a requisite degree of commonality. It is argued that while discourses of knowledge and emotion enable a sense of understanding and feeling with others, they nonetheless cast differences in a universalized discourse of enlightenment, wherein the other is reduced to a version of the same. Turning to the Levinasian notion of “useless suffering,” I consider instead the conditions of possibility opened up paradoxically because the other cannot be rendered in pre-given terms. In so doing, I hope to contribute to on-going discussions in the context of feminism and education interested in theorizing the conditions of possibility for coming together across differences, neither consuming the other as an object of information, nor reducing her or his experience to a version of the self. My argument is structured around Lourdes Portillo’s (2001) most recent film,Missing Young Women, which documents the disappearance, rape, and murder of over 200 women working in Juarez, Mexico. One scene in particular is referenced as a way to underscore how the Levinasian notion of “uselessness” might orient a mode of attentiveness that renders one responsible before understanding, concerned before feeling. Constituted asa prior responsibility for the other, it is suggested that “useless suffering” shifts the dominant terms of education and feminism away from the formation of common bonds (in knowledge and emotion) to underscore the conditions of possibility that might lie beyond meaning and being itself.  相似文献   

Polyvictimization,Psychological Distress,and Trauma Symptoms in College Men and Women     

Ann N. Elliott  Alyson Faires  Rachel K. Turk  Lora C. Wagner  Brianna M. Pomeroy  Thomas W. Pierce  Jeffery E. Aspelmeier 《Journal of College Counseling》2019,22(2):138-151

This study examined the relationship between polyvictimization, psychological distress, and trauma symptoms in college men and women. Childhood victimization was common among participants. Regression analyses revealed that polyvictimization (i.e., high cumulative levels of victimization) is a better predictor of psychological distress and trauma symptoms than is any individual category of victimization (i.e., sexual, physical, peer/sibling, child maltreatment, witnessing/indirect, or property crime). Gender did not moderate the relation between victimization and distress and trauma symptoms. Implications for counselors are discussed.  相似文献   

Gender Earnings Gap among Young European Higher Education Graduates     

Adela García-Aracil 《Higher Education》2007,53(4):431-455

This paper examines the composition of the gender earnings gap among young European higher education graduates, with a particular focus on competencies controlling for individual background and job characteristics. The results show that much of the female worker’s earnings advantage can be explained by job characteristics. With respect to the competencies required at current jobs, we find that foreign language proficiency and computer skills play a large role in explaining part of the female earnings advantage. Additionally, estimation results by each one of the countries included in the analysis show that gender earning gaps are disparate in size as well as in composition.  相似文献   

对中国本土性别社会学学科构建的几点前提性思考     

胡晓红 《辽宁师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2004,27(1):17-19

在中国，性别社会学是在社会学和女性学的基础上形成的。80年代初期，社会学在中国的学术界得到复兴，发展的势头迅猛；无独有偶，在80年代后期，中国的妇女研究也兴起热潮，发展到现在，女性研究已经走出了“问题研究”阶段，开始进行理论的构建。为此，它寻找到了社会学这个理论背景和依托，构建出了性别社会学。那么，性别社会学的来龙去脉如何？性别社会学将有什么特色？以及性别社会学的意义究竟何在？这是构建性别社会学必须思考的前提性问题。  相似文献

The administration of feminism in education: revisiting and remembering narratives of gender equity and identity     

Julie McLeod 《Journal of educational administration and history》2017,49(4):283-300

This article examines challenges in writing histories of feminist reforms in schooling and educational administration. The focus is gender equity reforms in Australian schools since the 1970s, looking at how those earlier interventions are now remembered, represented and forgotten, in policy memory and collective narratives. Such feminist endeavours were part of the policy landscape and the administration of schools during the 1970s and 80s. I argue that feminist agendas can also be examined as themselves sites for managing the conduct of teachers and students and for regulating new forms of identity and social relations. These paradoxical aspects of feminist reform are analysed through a Foucauldian lens. The discussion identifies contextual themes in JEAH before considering debates within gender and feminist history. A revisiting mood has initiated a stocktake of the stories told not only about feminism but also the accounts feminism gives of itself. Extending this, I propose that critical attention to memory and the movement of received and revised historical narratives is vital for analysing the legacies of feminist reforms and how they might be (re)animated in the present. More broadly, it is suggested that attention to policy memory offers fruitful directions for historical studies of educational administration.  相似文献
