Reassessment and interpretation of gender dynamics in the current social order has been prevalent theme within gender discourses. The yoke of subordination borne by women as readers, writers or fictional characters in the patriarchal pyramid occupies a central space across the whole spectrum of debates. This study utilizes a qualitative mode of inquiry which is centered on textual analysis. The present study evaluates the instances of gender subjectivity and patterns of subjugation within the textual arena invested with hegemonic ideologies as depicted in the novel The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. The paper employs feminist critical discourse analysis as a tool to analyze The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James in order to dissect the underlying ideologies present in the Victorian time period and investigates discourses of subjectivity. The findings of the study demonstrate that notwithstanding temporal advancements, gender power structures remain intact, and women continue to suffer under patriarchal power structures. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0874/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

<p>Resumen<br />Nuestro principal objetivo es analizar los comportamientos religiosos femeninos en distintas sociedades históricas, el valor simbólico del género representado en las diosas y su posterior retracción ante el avance de la hegemonía masculina. Los roles de género han marcado la experiencia religiosa de las mujeres, la rigidez en los rituales litúrgicos han replegado a las mujeres como subordinadas de la "estirpe varonil". El patriarcado fue desplazando a las mujeres de las principales religiones del planeta ocultando su protagonismo e invisibilizándolas. Pretendemos proporcionar una visión global de la proyección de las mujeres en las diferentes tendencias, manifestaciones y credos religiosos, siguiendo el desarrollo teórico de la narración social e histórica a través de la argumentación crítica en torno a los principales ejes de significado que la han ido definido en su trayectoria. Desde la óptica feminista se aboga por la relectura de los textos desde la indiferenciación para descubrir la inclusión de la subjetividad de género y recuperar sus construcciones simbólicas.</p><p>Our main objective is to analyze the female religious behaviour in various historical societies, the symbolic value of the gender represented in the goddesses and their subsequent retraction before the advance of male hegemony. Gender roles have marked the religious experience of women, rigid liturgical rituals have retreated to women as subordinate to the "men's race." The patriarchy was displacing women from the major religions of the world by hiding their prominence and visibility. We aim to provide an overview of the women’s projection in the different trends, events and religious beliefs, following the theoretical development of social and historical narrative through critical argumentation about the main meaning axes that have been defining them on their path. The feminist perspective calls for a rereading of the texts from the undifferentiation to discover the inclusion of the gender subjectivity and recover their symbolic constructions</p>

ResumenEl mercado laboral en Chile ha tenido una creciente participación femenina, lo cual ha desdibujado los márgenes tradicionales de la división sexual del trabajo. Esto se evidencia con el emergente fenómeno de la incorporación de mujeres en las labores productivas de la minería del cobre. La empresa Codelco ha justificado esta extensión en su fuerza de trabajo a partir de los beneficios que reporta en la productividad y el clima laboral. Sin embargo, poco se ha dicho desde el punto de vista de los actores involucrados. De ahí que el presente artículo se ancle desde la sociología de la experiencia de François Dubet, con el objetivo de examinar, a través de los relatos de las trabajadoras de la División El Teniente, los procesos de subjetivación de género que se estructuran a partir de su experiencia laboral. Las claves que dan forma a dichos procesos estándadas por los dramas, desafíos, tensiones en su identidad y los juicios propios sobre su experiencia en la minería, que les lleva a configurar una emergente ruptura con el “Yo social” femenino, y asumir el deseo de ser autoras de sus vidas, a partir de un proyecto ético por la igualdad de género.Palabras clave: Experiencia laboral, subjetivación de género, mujeres, minería.Gender subjectivity processes in women workingin copper mining in Chile. The case of El Teniente divisionAbstractThe labor market in Chile has had a growing female participation, which has blurred the traditional margins of the gender division of labor. This is evidenced by the emerging phenomenon of incorporating women in copper mining productive work.  Codelco company has justified this extensionin its work force by the benefits it implies in productivity and workingenvironment. However, little has been said from the point of view of actors involved. Hence this article is anchored in the sociology of the experienceof François Dubet, in order to examine, through the stories of the women working at El Teniente division, the gender subjectivity processes structured from this work experience. Key factors that shape these processes are given by tragedies, challenges, tensions in their identity and their own judgments about their experience in mining, which leads them to break the female“social identity” and accept the wish of being authors of their own lives, froman ethical project for gender equality.Keywords: Work experience, gender subjectivity, women, mining.Processos de subjetividade de gênero nas trabalhadoras da mineração do cobre no Chile. Ocaso da divisão o TenenteResumoO mercado de trabalho no Chile tem tido uma crescente participação feminina, o qual borrou as margens tradicionais da divisão sexual do trabalho. Isto é evidenciado pelo fenômeno emergente da incorporação das mulheres nos labores produtivas de mineração de cobre. A empresa Codelco tem justificado esta extensão em sua força de trabalho a partir dos benefícios que reporta na produtividade e o ambiente de trabalho. No entanto, pouco tem sido dito desde o ponto de vista dos atores envolvidos. Assim, o presente artigo é ancorado desde a sociologia na experiência de François Dubet, a fim de analisar, através dos relatos das trabalhadoras da divisão do Tenente,os processos de subjetividade de gênero que se estruturam a partir de sua experiência de trabalho. As chaves que dão forma a estes processos são dadas pelos dramas, desafios, tensões em sua identidade e seus próprios prejuízos sobre a sua experiência em mineração, que as leva a definir uma emergente ruptura com seu “Eu social” feminino, e assumir o desejo de ser autoras desuas vidas, a partir de um projeto ético pela igualdade de género.Palavras-chave: Experiência de trabalho, subjetividade de gênero, mulheres,mineração.

Examining three fiction films (Techo y comida, Ayer no termina nunca, and Magical Girl), this essay illuminates the traces of the economic crisis in recent Spanish cinema, focusing on how it is inscribed on female-gendered bodies and subjectivities. In exploring how female pain accumulates across the boundaries of genre in these disparate films, it asks what kind of gendered subjects these films construct, and what work women's suffering is asked to perform, both for the benefit of the film's plot and the spectator's engagement. It shows how, even in cinema sympathetic to those devastated by crisis, women are cast as disposable raw material, as it were, “primed for suffering.” At the same time, it argues, these films bring to light and embody experiences that are seldom revealed, enacting an ethical gesture of potential solidarity with those devastated by multiple forms of crisis.
