Download or read book Pakistani Women written by Sadaf Ahmad and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pakistani Women attempts to capture some of the diversity to help move away from the homogenous images of Pakistani women that prevail in their representation in much of the world. The different chapters cover an entire range of localities, from rural to urban settings, and from small town to diaspora. Most of the chapters are driven by ethnographic data, while some are more theoretical. Yet, despite this diversity of place and approach, a number of cross-cutting themes emerge; themes that play a critical role in encouraging the reader to recognize the similarity and diversity of Pakistani women's experiences within a culture made up of a variety of ideologies that are often in conflict with each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de la couverture . "The book is set against a backdrop of the everyday cycle of happiness and sorrow experienced by the common people of Pakistan, in particular its women. The laws and legal confrontation between the sexes have been ably portrayed. The author discusses gender disputes, economic disparities, legal and social inequalities. The culture of violence and crimes against women is illustrated with real cases. Quotations from the Quran are used to illustrate the just and equitable spirit of Islamic laws, but along with this the author discusses the ways in which these laws have been misinterpreted and distorted. Recommandations and remedies with a road map for change in the economic, social and legal environment of the country add to the value of the book. Eminently readable and containing several case studies and real life examples the book is essential reading for all thinking women in Pakistan."
Book Synopsis Women, Labor and Television by : Ayat Zaheer
Download or read book Women, Labor and Television written by Ayat Zaheer and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to look critically at the way women are represented in mainstream entertainment media on Pakistani television channels, mainly in televised drama serials. My chief research question is: How is women's labor represented in select Pakistani televised drama serials? One reason women's work is not always apparent is because of the gendered nature of work, and especially care work, where it is assumed that women will look after the household chores, especially in patriarchal societies. I propose that these shows (1) naturalize a certain form or notion of femininity as the only suitable one for Pakistan's women, and (2) naturalize a theory of work that both denies the actual work that women do and that discourages women from stepping into the masculinist marketplace of public careers. I use feminist media representation theory. Because media has the power to disseminate patriarchal and ideological views, it has always been at the centre of feminist criticism. Feminist audiovisual content analysis enables me to critically highlight the biases towards women employed in different occupations, as well as if and how the social reproductive labor of the women who are portrayed as mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, and grandmothers on screen is ignored or taken for granted.
Book Synopsis Suffering Women in Pakistani TV Dramas by : Zahra Murtaza Tapal
Download or read book Suffering Women in Pakistani TV Dramas written by Zahra Murtaza Tapal and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project examines portrayals of women’s suffering and binary feminine morality in popular Pakistani Urdu TV dramas, categorizing these dramas within a coined genre of “suffering women,” and investigates the extent to which distance from mainland Pakistan and local Pakistani culture affects diasporic viewers’ ‘critical proximity’ to the representations of suffering women narratives and female characters. At the academic intersection of gender, media, and migration, arise discussions of diasporic women’s dissonance, as opposed to concurrence, with ‘home’ country or culture. Within this project, three basic conventions of the suffering women genre are outlined as (i) on-screen crying or suffering women, (ii) male or female patriarchal characters, and (iii) taqdeer, or karmic or poetic justice. It explores this trend by textually analyzing selected popular dramas and asking Houston-based Pakistani viewers about their experiences and sentiments regarding the dramas. Using three hugely popular dramas––Humsafar/Life Partner (2011), Meray Paas Tum Ho/I Have You (2019), and Zindagi Gulzar Hai/Life is a Rose Garden (2012)––as case studies, the project employs a multi-method analytical strategy of historical research, textual analysis, and audience interviews to create a holistic conversation around the emotional and societal impact of Pakistani suffering women dramas on diasporic Pakistani viewers. Themes addressed include matters of second generation Pakistani feminism, hegemonic gender roles, and binary perspective on women’s morality
Book Synopsis Challenging Images of Women in the Media by : Theresa Carilli
Download or read book Challenging Images of Women in the Media written by Theresa Carilli and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-07-13 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging Images of Women and the Media: Reinventing Women’s Lives, edited by Theresa Carilli and Jane Campbell, collects fifteen articles addressing the status of women through an examination of depictions of women in the media. This in-depth study shows how mixed messages from the media muddle attempts at breaking the “glass screen,” causing women to constantly question their role in global culture. With cake ads followed by diet commercials, the media’s depiction of women is both confusing and contradictory. While more and more women have begun to contribute to the media as respected anchors, talk show hosts, and commentators, these portrayals are often counteracted by music videos and reality television shows such as Jersey Shore. This collection seeks to analyze these depictions and their effects on women and culture. The contributors to this anthology hail from such diverse locations as Japan, Australia, Pakistan, India, China, Bulgaria, and the United States. With this global focus, Challenging Images of Women in the Media scrutinizes issues of race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality through a study of gendered media portrayals. By challenging the status quo of media images, the contributors to this essential volume invite a dialogue about women’s lives.
Book Synopsis Understanding Gender and Organizations by : Mats Alvesson
Download or read book Understanding Gender and Organizations written by Mats Alvesson and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `An unusually comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of how organizations and the men and women who work within them are affected by gendered processes and relations. Alvesson and Billing′s contribution is unique in its sensitivity to the wide range of processes affected by gender paired with its sensitivity to the pitfalls of inappropriately applying a gender lens. This book is a must-read for organizational researchers and gender scholars′ - Debra Meyerson, Stanford University `Students and scholars alike will find this at once a useful overview and a thought-provoking take on the complexity of gender-in-organizations and gendered organizations′ - Robin J. Ely, Warren Alpert Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School In the decade since the first edition of this critical and provocative text, many aspects of gender have changed, and many have stayed the same. While the gendered study of organizations is a growing field in its own right, in many real-life organizations gaps in gendered job roles and pay are as entrenched as they were. This Second Edition is a long-awaited update to an essential text in this dynamic and expanding field of inquiry, incorporating new, international perspectives that incorporate recent theory and debate, and a new chapter on gender and identity.

Book Synopsis Muslim Women in War and Crisis by : Faegheh Shirazi
Download or read book Muslim Women in War and Crisis written by Faegheh Shirazi and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representing diverse cultural viewpoints, Muslim Women in War and Crisis collects an array of original essays that highlight the experiences and perspectives of Muslim women—their dreams and nightmares and their daily struggles—in times of tremendous social upheaval. Analyzing both how Muslim women have been represented and how they represent themselves, the authors draw on primary sources ranging from poetry and diaries to news reports and visual media. Topics include: Peacebrokers in Indonesia Exploitation in the Islamic Republic of Iran Chechen women rebels Fundamentalism in Afghanistan, from refugee camps to Kabul Memoirs of Bengali Muslim women The 7/7 London bombings, British Muslim women, and the media Also exploring such images in the United States, Spain, the former Yugoslavia, Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, and Iraq, this collection offers a chorus of multidimensional voices that counter Islamophobia and destructive clichés. Encompassing the symbolic national and religious identities of Muslim women, this study goes beyond those facets to examine the realities of day-to-day existence in societies that seek scapegoats and do little to defend the victims of hate crimes. Enhancing their scholarly perspectives, many of the contributors (including the editor) have lived through the strife they analyze. This project taps into their firsthand experiences of war and deadly political oppression.
Book Synopsis Educational Policies in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan by : Dilshad Ashraf
Download or read book Educational Policies in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan written by Dilshad Ashraf and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mountains of the Northern Pakistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan School and schooling are both symbolic of wider ranging cultural and political battles over morals, modernity, development, gender and the rule of law. Educational Policies in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan: Contested Terrain in the Twenty-First Century is about both the normative battles over the purpose of education, as well as about the structural impediments to providing instruction in those remote and challenging locations where it is attempted. The analytical frames in this collection come primarily from the social sciences and comparative education. Contributors examine education, policy, processes and structures in the broader socio-cultural, religious and economic context of three countries sharing somewhat similar colonial and post- colonial legacy and current uprising of extreme religious positions and a drive to social-cohesion.

Chapters one and two define the nature of multiethnic education and measure the distance between societal and school curricula. Chapter three provides insights into the planning necessary for teacher preparation. Chapters four and five describe the conflict between the home cultures of the students and the culture of the school and focus on viewing ethnic identities and group behaviors as positive sources of strength. Chapter six describes the conflict between the learning styles of ethnic students and those favored by the school. Chapter seven discusses language diversity while chapter eight emphasizes awareness as the way to become an effective cross-cultural counselor. Chapters nine and ten suggest alternatives to traditional testing and explain goals and characteristics of the multiethnic curriculum. Chapter eleven describes one program, while chapter twelve focuses on school-community cooperation. The final two chapters discuss traditional assumptions about schooling and suggest guidelines for training teachers. An afterword highlights key points and proposes needed actions. (CK)
