Role Of Men

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya sebuah pemikiran tafsir dalam tradisi Jawa yang menempatkan perempuan dalam posisi yang lebih banyak bergerak di wilayah domestik. Karena persepsi mufassir yang melihat kedudukan laki-laki lebih berpotensi daripada perempuan, maka perempuan kurang diberi ruang dalam sektor publik. Di dalam salah satu karya tafsir dari tradisi Jawa yakni al-Iklil fi Ma’ani al-Tanzil karya Misbah Mustafa, ditemukan pemahaman bahwa peran laki-laki lebih utama daripada perempuan melalui serangkaian tafsir terhadap ayat-ayat gender. Melalui analisis struktur sosial terhadap beberapa tema gender seperti asal-usul penciptaan manusia, poligami, dan kepemimpinan laki-laki ataupun perempuan, pemikiran Misbah Mustafa terpola dengan jelas. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemikiran Misbah Mustafa dalam tafsir al-Iklil cenderung mengulang-ulang, menukil dan melegitimasi pendapat para ulama tradisional normatif yang kebanyakan mensubordinasikan kedudukan perempuan. Tulisan ini merefleksikan ke-arah bagaimana konstruksi sosial dan budaya mempengaruhi pola penafsiran Misbah Mustafa dalam karyanya tafsir al-Iklil.[This research is motivated by an interpretive thought in the Javanese tradition that places women in a position that is more engaged in domestic sphere. Because the perception of mufassir who see the position of men has more potential than women, women are less given space in the public sector. In one of the interpretations of Javanese tradition, al-Iklil fi Ma’ani al-Tanzil by Misbah Mustafa, it is found that the role of men is more important than women through a series of interpretations of gender verses. Through the analysis of social structure on several gender themes such as the origin of human creation, polygamy, and male or female leadership, Misbah Mustafa’s thoughts were clearly patterned. By using a descriptive-analytical method, the results of the study show that Misbah Mustafa’s thinking in the interpreting the Quran tends to repeat, copy and legitimize the opinions of traditional normative scholars who mostly subordinate the position of women. This paper also shows how social and cultural construction influence Misbah Mustafa’s interpretation patterns in his work, al-Iklil.]

Florence Nightingale is credited with reforming the profession of nursing, and her teachings allowed nursing to be perceived as an almost exclusively female career. However, the long history of men's role in nursing before Nightingale is frequently ignored. Males currently account for one in ten UK nurses, with that figure even less in community nursing, and the ones present receive differential treatment when it comes to hiring and promotion, career opportunities, and stigma associated with gender perceptions. This article attempts to gain a better understanding of the problems that face workforce planning with regards to the lack of men in community nursing.

In this paper we will consider the most relevant theoretical and practical aspects of the issue related to the problem of discrimination of women in Ukrainian labor law regarding their choice of profession. Vision of the role of men and women in society, their duties, prohibitions and rules were formed centuries ago, but such views have been reformed in accordance with the global development of society over the past decades. Scientific and technological progress has significantly improved the living conditions of people, including the process of working. However, the practice of countries applying restrictions on women's access to certain range of professions remains. In this regard, this article reflects the main aspects of the issue of limiting the opportunity of realizing women's labor abilities. Due attention is paid to gender-based occupational segregation, as well as gender discrimination at the legislative level. The reasons for implementing restrictions on women's access to certain professions are analyzed. The main factors that influenced the change in the position of the state on this issue are highlighted. The diametrically opposite positions and arguments on the issue of prohibition of certain types of work for women were investigated. The article examines the potential directions of state policy in the field of employment of women in heavy work and work with harmful and dangerous working conditions. The author concludes that the position of women and their status have changed which is due not only to legislative acts, political processes and achievements of scientific and technological progress, but also to changes that have taken place in the social consciousness.

AbstractThis article discusses the ways in which newsprint allowed local contributors and readers in colonial settings to think across gender, race, and other core colonial subject-positions. It also asks about the extent to which the central role of men in controlling local print networks has implications for how we conceptualise “publics” and “public spheres” in the colonial era.

Role Of Men

Abstract In this essay I argue for opening up South Asian historiography on the home to explore not just ideals of middle-class domesticity, but also the material goods and spaces of home lives. This helps to rethink class, as ideals of middle-class respectability were often worked out in buildings and through goods shared with lower classes, deploying caste hierarchies to articulate definitions of proper home life. At the same time, taking materials and spaces seriously allows attention to the role of men in shaping and experiencing homes, whether as designers, retailers, planners, or residents themselves. Drawing on the specific example of the iconic firm Kamdar Ltd., which created modern home interiors in mid-century Bombay, I argue that thinking through the materials of home allows attention to the global engagements of home life defined in class and caste terms, by men and women alike.
