L'inizio del movimento per l'uguaglianza di genere e il suo rapporto con la moda. La moda femminile è molto più che semplici vestiti e accessori; Nel corso della storia è stato un potente strumento di espressione, affermazione dell'identità e riflessione dei valori sociali di ogni epoca. Sin dai tempi antichi, le donne hanno utilizzato la moda come forma di comunicazione non verbale, trasmettendo messaggi sulla loro posizione sociale, status e persino sulle loro aspirazioni. In questo capitolo esploreremo brevemente la storia della moda femminile e come questa si intreccia con la ricerca dell'uguaglianza di genere. La storia della moda femminile risale agli albori dell'umanità, dove già i primi segni di decorazioni e ornamenti dimostravano un'attenzione all'apparenza e alla differenziazione dei ruoli sociali tra uomo e donna. Con il progredire delle civiltà, l'abbigliamento femminile è diventato sempre più complesso e diversificato, riflettendo le credenze, i valori e le gerarchie delle società in cui queste donne vivevano. Nel Medioevo, ad esempio, la moda femminile era fortemente influenzata dalla religione e dalle aspettative sociali dell'epoca. L'abbigliamento femminile era spesso esuberante, con corsetti stretti e gonne voluminose, a simboleggiare la loro posizione di ornamento sociale. Tuttavia, questa opulenza era anche una restrizione, poiché la moda imponeva limitazioni alla mobilità e al comfort delle donne. Con l'avvento dell'Illuminismo nel XVIII secolo e l'inizio della Rivoluzione Industriale, la moda femminile subì cambiamenti significativi. L'enfasi sulla ragione e sul progresso sociale portò ad una maggiore domanda di abbigliamento pratico e funzionale. Il cosiddetto "costume dell'Amazzonia" ha guadagnato popolarità, rappresentando una rottura con gli abiti eccessivamente elaborati del passato. Questo periodo vide anche l'inizio dei movimenti per il suffragio, che cercavano il diritto di voto delle donne e la parità di diritti civili. Nel XX secolo la moda femminile è stata testimone di una vera rivoluzione. Le due guerre mondiali hanno avuto un profondo impatto sul modo di vestire delle donne, poiché molte hanno assunto ruoli tradizionalmente maschili mentre gli uomini erano al fronte. Ciò culminò nell'emergere del movimento femminista negli anni '60 e '70, che sfidò le norme di genere e cercò l'uguaglianza in molti aspetti della vita, compresa la moda. In questo contesto la moda divenne per molte donne una forma di protesta e di espressione politica. L'uso dei pantaloni da parte delle donne, ad esempio, inizialmente era visto come un affronto alle norme sociali, ma presto divenne un simbolo dell'emancipazione femminile e della lotta per l'uguaglianza di genere. Da allora, la moda femminile è stata una piattaforma per esprimere la diversità e la complessità delle identità femminili. Marchi e designer si sono impegnati in campagne che promuovono l'inclusione, la diversità e la rottura degli stereotipi di genere. Il movimento per l'uguaglianza di genere ha guidato la creazione di abbigliamento e accessori che trascendono le norme tradizionali e consentono alle donne di sentirsi a proprio agio e sicure nella propria pelle. Pertanto, la moda femminile si è evoluta come uno specchio della società, riflettendone le trasformazioni, le lotte e le conquiste. Il movimento per l'uguaglianza di genere e la moda sono intrinsecamente legati, entrambi cercano di decostruire standard rigidi e aprire spazio per la libertà, l'autonomia e l'empowerment delle donne . In questo ebook esploreremo come la moda femminile e il movimento per l'uguaglianza di genere si influenzano a vicenda, modellando e ridefinendo la nostra percezione di femminilità, empowerment e uguaglianza.

This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La moda, come espressione culturale, è sempre stata legata alla costruzione delle identità, compreso il genere. Nel corso della storia, l'abbigliamento e gli accessori sono stati utilizzati per differenziare uomini e donne, rafforzando gli stereotipi e limitando la libertà di espressione individuale. Tuttavia, negli ultimi decenni, è emerso un movimento che sfida questa logica binaria: la moda unisex. L'ascesa della moda unisex Le radici della moda unisex possono essere trovate nei movimenti sociali e culturali del XX secolo come il femminismo e la controcultura. La ricerca della parità di diritti tra uomini e donne, combinata con la sfida delle norme sociali tradizionali, ha spinto alla sperimentazione di abiti che trascendessero il genere. Decostruire il binario di genere La moda unisex va oltre la semplice estetica. Rappresenta una critica alla rigidità delle norme di genere e all'idea che i vestiti siano definiti da un sesso specifico. Sfidando questa dicotomia, la moda unisex apre lo spazio alla libera espressione dell'identità individuale, indipendentemente dalle etichette predefinite. Dimostrazioni di moda unisex La moda unisex si manifesta in vari modi, da pezzi classici reinterpretati in stili neutri a design innovativi che trascendono le categorie di genere. Gonne, pantaloni, camicie, vestiti, giacche e accessori possono essere indossati da chiunque, indipendentemente dalla propria identità di genere. Impatto sociale e culturale La moda unisex contribuisce a costruire una società più tollerante e diversificata. Sfidando gli stereotipi e promuovendo l'inclusione, sfida lo status quo e apre lo spazio per un'autentica espressione individuale. La moda unisex ha un impatto anche sull'industria tessile, incoraggiando la creazione di collezioni più fluide e democratiche. Pionieri e Influencer Diversi artisti, celebrità e marchi di moda si sono distinti come agenti di trasformazione nella decostruzione del genere attraverso la moda. Personaggi come David Bowie, Boy George, Tilda Swinton , Jaden Smith, Zendaya e marchi come Thom Browne, Hood di Air , EckhausLatta e Marni sono esempi di pionieri e influenzatori di questo movimento. Il futuro della moda unisex La moda unisex è un movimento in continua evoluzione, con il potenziale di rivoluzionare il modo in cui ci vestiamo ed esprimiamo la nostra identità. Il futuro della moda sta emergendo come uno spazio sempre più inclusivo, dove la fluidità di genere e la libertà di espressione individuale saranno i pilastri di un'estetica innovativa e autentica. La moda unisex è più di una tendenza passeggera. Rappresenta un movimento sociale che sfida le norme tradizionali e promuove la costruzione di una società più giusta ed egualitaria. Decostruendo il binario di genere e aprendo spazio alla libera espressione dell'identità individuale, la moda unisex diventa un manifesto della libertà di essere chi sei. Scopri molto di più...

Download or read book World Development Report 2019 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection draws on and expands the findings from a pan-European research project undertaken during 2012-13 which was funded by the European Institute for Gender Equality and aimed to explore three key issues in relation to gender and media: women’s inclusion in decision-making positions within media industries; how women are represented in the media; and what policies and mechanisms are in place to support women’s career development and promote gender equality. The research looked at 99 major media organisations across the EU including public and private sector broadcasters (TV and radio) as well as a number of major newspaper groups. Researchers also monitored TV programmes (factual only but including entertainment genres) across one week and coded 1200 hours of TV. In addition to elaborating the results from 16 of the participating nations, the collection includes a set of context-setting essays and a summarizing conclusion as well as a reflection on the purpose and utility of gender indicators. It is the first major work to look across the European media landscape and explore both employment and representation, providing a unique glimpse into the contemporary media scene in relation to gender equality, including examples of good and less good practice.

Download or read book Gender Setting written by Margaret Gallagher and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 2001-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the scope for independent citizen action in media and cultural policy formation? How can audiences effectively voice critiques of media content? In a market-centred and consumer-oriented media world, what is the potential for monitoring, lobbying and advocacy? This book argues that there is a role for local action to defend and promote diversity in the content, images, symbols and values that people use in making sense of their lives. It focuses on media portrayals of gender - whose critique has been fundamental to the modern international women's movement. Now, research and activism have been brought together in the form of gender media monitoring - systematic data collection aimed at policy critique and practical change. The book brings together research findings and monitoring experiences from both North and South to demonstrate how women's groups have developed effective media monitoring models.

Download or read book Gender Violence and Popular Culture written by Laura J. Shepherd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the intersection of gender and violence in popular culture. Drawing on the latest thinking in critical international relations, media and cultural studies and gender studies, it focuses in particular on a number of popular TV shows including Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Generation Kill, The Corner and The West Wing. The book makes a unique theoretical contribution to the ‘narrative turn’ in International Relations by illustrating the ways in which popular culture and global politics are intertwined and how we make sense of our worlds through these two frames. Methodologically, the book enhances discourse-theoretical analysis in IR through its incorporation of methods from narratology and film studies. The book proposes an aesthetic ethicopolitical approach to global politics which challenges us to interrogate how it becomes possible that we think what we think, it challenges the truths that we hold to be self-evident and that which we take to be common sense. It demands that we think carefully, critically, uncomfortably, about our world(s) – even when we’re ‘only’ watching television.

Download or read book Public Purpose written by Mariana Mazzucato and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How governments can spur growth and innovation to solve their greatest challenges—from green energy to national security to building resilient health systems. Known around the world for challenging mainstream economics, economist Mariana Mazzucato believes that “the public sector can and should be a co-creator of wealth that actively steers growth to meet its goals” (The Financial Times). In The Mission-Driven Economy, she calls on governments to create the economies we need today. Mazzucato’s challenge leads off a debate on the revival of Industrial policy—roughly defined as deliberate government action to re(shape) the economy. Industrial policy has fallen out of favor in recent decades as economists defer to free markets to produce innovation and growth. Yet today thinkers across the political spectrum have begun expressing new interest in industrial policy as a way to address the most serious problems of our times: from national security and climate change, to the market’s underfunding of public goods, to sluggish economic growth and labor market dysfunction. Together, contributors make a compelling case for industrial policy—what it is, and why we need it now. Addressing investment, innovation, supply chains, and growth, they offer a robust vision of a renewed industrial policy, and what it can offer the US economy in the face of climate change and a global pandemic.

Download or read book Gender Diversity in European Sport Governance written by Agnes Elling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender equality is one of the founding democratic principles of the EU. However, recent studies of the Federation of Olympic Sports in Europe have shown that women occupy only fourteen percent of decision-making positions in sport organizations. This book presents a comprehensive and comparative study of how various regions and countries of Europe have addressed this lack of gender diversity, discussing which strategies have brought about change and to what extent these changes have been successful. With contributions from leading sport sociologists, covering countries such as Germany, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Spain, Turkey and the UK, it provides a foundation for future policymaking, methodological analyses and theoretical developments that can result in sustainable gender equality in European sport governance. Gender Diversity in European Sport Governance is important reading for scholars and students in the fields of sociology of sport, sport management, sociology, gender studies and studies of organization, management and leadership. It is also a valuable resource for policy makers in the EU, as well as national sport organizations and activists.

Download or read book The Bedroom written by Attilio Bertolucci and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Bilingual Editon. Translated from the Italian by Luigi Bonaffini. THE BEDROOM [La camera da letto] is Bertolucci's best-known work, so popular that the poet once read it to television viewers on a seven-hour program. It is a narrative poem that traces the history of the poet's family across seven generations with directness, precision and attention to everyday details, major events and fantastic surprises. Paolo Lagazzi writes in his introduction: "THE BEDROOM is a sort of a multi-novel, or a distillation of very diverse narrative forms and intuitions: a Bildungsroman and fairytale, an epoch novel, a novel-chronicle, a dramatic novel and a picaresque novel. An experimental work in the most authentic sense of the word..." "Nothing of time's essence escapes or is neglected by the author's ravenous sensibility, no less active in recording the multiple places in which existence rests (the city and the countryside, the sea and the plane, the Po river and the Maremma) in an exuberant display of forms, lights, perspectives, tonalities."—Luigi Ferrara

Download or read book Lifting the Veil written by Jane Kamerling and published by Fisher King Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifting The Veil: Why They Hate Us brings awareness to the unconscious and underlying dynamics that are reflected in the history and present day conflicts between the Islamic and Western worlds. The devastation and shock of 9/11 reached every community in America. It raised questions never before considered. Inspired by that event, research became critical to organize our thinking and make sense out of nonsense and organization out of chaos. Political literature addressing the dynamics leading up to the catastrophe of the collapse of the Twin Towers has been prolific as the urgency to understand the Islamic world has increased. International relations theory offers a variety of concepts of why and how nations may respond to one another for expansion, defense or peace. These theories develop with objective quantifiable equations and leave no room for immeasurable, subjective variables. Perception is one of those variables that can not be left out of the equation when looking at what motivates nations and international diplomacy. As Jungian analysts, Gustafson and Kamerling analyze an underlying psychological dynamic that fuels the conflict between the west and the Islamic world. They have distilled information from a variety of readings, interviews, documentaries and personal experiences in the Islamic world.

Download or read book Feminist Translation Studies written by Olga Castro and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist Translation Studies: Local and Transnational Perspectives situates feminist translation as political activism. Chapters highlight the multiple agendas and visions of feminist translation and the different political voices and cultural heritages through which it speaks across times and places, addressing the question of how both literary and nonliterary discourses migrate and contribute to local and transnational processes of feminist knowledge building and political activism. This collection does not pursue a narrow, fixed definition of feminism that is based solely on (Eurocentric or West-centric) gender politics—rather, Feminist Translation Studies: Local and Transnational Perspectives seeks to expand our understanding of feminist action not only to include feminist translation as resistance against multiple forms of domination, but also to rethink feminist translation through feminist theories and practices developed in different geohistorical and disciplinary contexts. In so doing, the collection expands the geopolitical, sociocultural and historical scope of the field from different disciplinary perspectives, pointing towards a more transnational, interdisciplinary and overtly political conceptualization of translation studies.
