Studying 'race' from another angle: the sociology of whiteness by Steve Garner. A presentation at the BSA Teaching Group Regional Conference on 28 February 2015.
Margaret Ledwith northampton lecture 2 22 nov 2011Tim Curtis
This document discusses community development and social justice. It addresses how community development aims to challenge structural inequalities, discrimination, and promote social and environmental justice. It discusses theories from Gramsci, Freire, and Foucault around power analyses and how these inform community development practice. It also addresses issues of poverty and inequality, and how power and poverty analyses can help understand inequalities in society.
Classical ideas of citizenship centered around civil, political, and social rights as defined by T.H. Marshall. However, citizenship has been critiqued for excluding and degrading parts of humanity. While Australia portrayed itself as a classless society based on displacement, inequality has always existed and the myth of egalitarianism has been challenged. Studies by Wilkinson and Piketty show that greater inequality negatively impacts societies and that inequality will likely worsen as the rich accumulate wealth faster than economic growth. This raises questions around who benefits from poverty and inequality, what role the state should play in alleviating it, and the limits of rights-based citizenship in including all groups.
When did multiculturalism end some reflections on useful european mythologiesMohammed (MIDHAL) Dhalech
The document discusses debates around whether and when multiculturalism ended in Europe. It notes that some argue multiculturalism failed by creating isolated communities and breeding extremism, while others argue multiculturalism's demise has been exaggerated for political reasons to consolidate cultural uniformity. The document also examines how culture and identity have been invoked in governance, with culture sometimes blamed for socioeconomic problems or used as a mode of governance in a neoliberal era.
Feminism and Citizenship: Multiculturalism and GlobalisationStar Lyngdoh
Feminism and citizenship were once distinct areas, but feminism argues that without basic rights and duties, women cannot truly be considered citizens. Multiculturalism encourages cultural diversity and global integration, while globalization leads to interconnectedness between nations and the spread of ideas, goods, and people. Together, multiculturalism and globalization can create opportunities by embracing diversity, but they also risk weakening morality and centralized decision-making. Modern changes have supported greater gender equality and participation in public life as full citizens.

1) Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or culture is still an issue, especially in smaller towns where differences may be viewed with more prejudice or fear of the unknown.
2) While different cultural groups can live together in harmony in large cities by clustering in neighborhoods, racism is more deeply rooted in some small southern towns in the US where racial minorities still face issues like stares and insults.
3) Overcoming discrimination requires recognizing that it stems from feelings of superiority and seeing others as different, but we are all human beings who should respect each other regardless of outward attributes.
The document summarizes Tyler's (2008) analysis of the social classification and media portrayal of the "chav" figure in contemporary Britain. Tyler argues that the "chav" has become a grotesque and mocked figure used in media to reproduce upper-middle class entertainment and defend economic inequality. While some theorists like Beck and Giddens see class identities weakening, Tyler views the "chav" stereotype as reflecting heightened class antagonism and performing social class through representations that spread through disgust reactions. In conclusion, Tyler asserts that British social class is highly stereotyped in representational regimes dominated by antagonistic media portrayals.

This document discusses the concept of an Australian civic culture and political engagement. It questions whether Australians have a democratic political culture and are averse to conflict. It notes an increase in conflict seen on educational and community forums online. The document also discusses the idea of policy learning as an iterative process involving both intended and unintended consequences. It suggests as more actors get involved through new media, learning and conflict will intensify. It raises the question of Australia's capacity for policy learning through a process involving conflict, and how netiquette may develop as a result of the country's civic culture.
BSA presentation - Women in transnational contextsCarolina Matos
This document summarizes a presentation titled "Women in transnational contexts: gender politics and the media in Latin America and Brazil" given by Dr. Carolina Matos. The presentation discussed key concepts in feminist media studies and post-colonialism. It analyzed representations of women in Brazil and how media both advances and reinforces stereotypes. Challenges to women's rights and empowerment were also examined, as well as the potential for new technologies and cyberfeminism to promote counter-discourses.
Uncivil Society Organizations (UCSOs) mimic the organizational structures of legitimate Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) but promote illiberal goals like weakening human rights and universalism. UCSOs include groups like Pegida and Generation Identity which share nativist positions and have formed international networks to spread their ideology globally. They exploit concepts like free speech and minority rights to portray themselves as victims and justify targeting opponents while working to replace the current international system with one based on ethnic particularism.
The document discusses social protection and social risk management in addressing poverty. It argues that poverty results from an inability to manage risks from economic shocks, environmental/social issues, and life events. It outlines various risk prevention, mitigation and coping strategies, including informal support networks, public programs, and market-based options. Effective social protection requires a mix of public, market and informal arrangements to help the vulnerable manage diverse risks that can contribute to poverty.
50th anniversary Lasa - Latin American Studies conferenceCarolina Matos
This document summarizes a lecture on gender representations in Brazil given by Dr. Carolina Matos. It discusses how Brazilian femininity has been constructed through colonial stereotypes of Brazilian women as exotic and sexual. While Brazil has made progress in gender equality through policies and increased political representation of women, challenges remain such as high rates of femicide and lack of access to abortion. The document argues that achieving global gender justice requires addressing both economic issues of redistribution as well as cultural attitudes of recognition through strengthening transnational feminist networks and diversity in media representations.
A group presentation on 'Where now for Gender and Development?' for the 'Theoretical Perspectives in Gender and Development' module, under the 'MA in Gender and Development' programme, at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS).
The document discusses how cultural imperialism through mass media from larger Western nations can negatively impact the national identity and media diversity of smaller nations. It provides examples from the novel "The God of Small Things" of how characters are influenced by Western media imports like television and movies, becoming lazy, selfish or developing unrealistic views of relationships. While Bollywood initially found popularity in places like West Africa, the westernization of newer Bollywood films has lessened their influence as indigenous cultures try to maintain their distinct identities in the face of globalized media.
1. Privatization of housing systems across Europe, especially in Eastern Europe, has fragmented housing provision and led to increasing inequalities, housing disrepair, and informal housing without services.
2. Globalization, migration, and increasing diversity have fragmented neighborhood bonds by weakening the importance of neighborhoods and introducing more tension between community members.
3. The fragmentation of both housing systems and neighborhood bonds has consequences for social cohesion, health, and individual well-being, as high quality and stable housing and strong neighborhood ties are important determinants of physical and mental health.
This thesis examines black community self-help in the United States. It discusses the historical debate between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois regarding whether blacks should focus on self-reliance through programs like education and entrepreneurship (Washington) or demand changes to the social system through protest and political action (Du Bois). The thesis will empirically analyze levels of civic engagement and local entrepreneurship across 59 metropolitan areas to identify different configurations of black self-help. It aims to explain why self-help varies between communities and how this has changed over time. The topic has relevance for debates on community development approaches globally.
In the early nineties there was a renewed and widespread discussion in philosophy about the end of history (posthistoire), a condition where western liberal democracy is seen as a final form of government. Events still occur at the end of history but governance remains the same. If modernist architecture always understood itself as in opposition with history – inventing new universal forms for a new man and a new world – then postmodern architecture could be said to be a reaction to such a break with history. Are we as the posthistorians claim, disconnected with history, living in a hyperreal state of constant everything goes - a bleak future devoid of meaning and struggle? Or could we find ideological and experimental sources within our times and come up with a critical response to questions posed to architecture today?
Digital identity represents how a person presents themselves online through social media and other internet activities. This document discusses how people can curate their digital identity by controlling what information and images are publicly available online. It also discusses the importance of being aware of one's digital footprint and maintaining privacy settings, as future employers and others may search for personal information online. The document suggests students should take steps to understand and control their digital identity and footprint in order to project the image they want to the world.
During the last decade, debates on the role of religion in the public space, migration, social cohesion and other issues have revealed increasing social tensions and polarisation in public opinion. Misperceptions and misinformation often dominate public dialogue about relations between Muslims and others. Although they don’t speak with the loudest voice, academics, scholars and thought leaders have a key role to play in helping to rebalance these debates by providing fact-based opinion and informed arguments. In the ‘Building a Shared Future’ series, these opinion leaders offer insights into the issues facing Muslims through American and European communities today.
Questions of citizenship and identity have very real implications for twenty-first-century Muslims. This volume explores a selection of them.
This is a draft of the presentation that will be given at the HEA Social Sciences annual conference - Teaching forward: the future of the Social Sciences.

ABSTRACT
Although there is much potential for students, and other interested parties, to explore the attitudes,
opinions and circumstances of various individuals and groups in the datasets provided by UK Data Service,
uptake remains limited. This paper details the results of a HEA funded project that aimed to engage
students with quantitative techniques through the development of a series of student-led workbooks,
worksheets, and associated teaching strategies. The paper considers some of the difficulties of adopting an
‘Inquiry-Based Learning’ (IBL) approach within the context of communicating quantitative research and
outlines some considerations for others wishing to adopt a more narrative and iterative approach to the
teaching of quantitative methods in the social sciences.

Dr Shibley Rahman presentation on citizenship and dementiashibley
This is the talk I intend to give at the Arlington Centre on Saturday 11th July 2015. It centres around active citizenship of people with dementia, shaping the general discourse about dementia.
The document discusses civil society in Pakistan in 3 sections. It first defines civil society as voluntary collective action by citizens, often motivated by shared interests and values. It then maps different types of civil society organizations in Pakistan, including NGOs, community groups, and professional associations. Finally, it discusses citizens' participation in civil society and political parties, noting a need for parties to better represent all segments of society and empower youth.
Discourses and narratives on intercultural learning of the youth sector of th...Ruxandra Pandea
This document discusses the evolution of intercultural learning theory and pedagogy within the youth sector of the Council of Europe. It addresses three key topics: 1) How the discourse around intercultural learning has evolved over time, from initial concepts in the late 1980s to more recent updates. 2) The relevance and usage of intercultural learning concepts in non-formal education activities. 3) The ongoing challenge of adapting intercultural learning approaches in light of changing social and political contexts, including the current rise of populism. The presentation analyzes the continuity and changes in how intercultural learning has been conceptualized and implemented, and discusses implications for addressing racism in today's world.
The document discusses myths about affirmative action and provides evidence against common arguments against it. It argues that affirmative action does not violate meritocracy, does not hurt white people or black self-esteem, and does not increase racial tension. Affirmative action helps minorities across all social classes and has primarily benefited white women. Discrimination is costly to society, while affirmative action helps create a more productive and equitable environment.

Talk given at the Animal Activists Forum 2017 in Melbourne: http://www.activistsforum.com/
This document provides an overview of sociological perspectives on culture. It defines culture as the knowledge, values, and material objects passed between generations in a society. Culture includes both material objects like cars and books, as well as non-material aspects like human rights and religion. The document outlines five key components of culture: norms, values, symbols, language, and material culture. It also discusses cultural universals, change, and the functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist perspectives on how culture influences society.
This document provides an agenda and background information for a webinar training on cultural competence. The agenda includes introductions, definitions of terms like racism, oppression, and white privilege. Ground rules for the discussion emphasize listening, agreeing to disagree, speaking from self, and maintaining confidentiality. The document defines different types of racism like institutional racism, structural racism, and individual racism. It also defines oppression, internalized oppression, and anti-oppressive practices. The goal is to have an honest discussion that provides an introduction to these important concepts while acknowledging there is still more to learn.

Exam lessons 3 (representation) - Section A A2 Media ExamBelinda Raji
The document provides guidance on analyzing representations in media productions using the concept of representation and related theories. It discusses how representations construct versions of reality and ideology. It encourages focusing an analysis of a soap opera trailer on how gender, social groups and places are represented through media language tools and what ideological messages are communicated. Key theories discussed include those relating to cultural hegemony, stereotypes, feminism and the male gaze. The document suggests deconstructing the various production stages and choosing elements to focus on how representations were constructed and their intended effects.

For whom do we do diversity and for what
purpose? Decolonising diversity requires
interrogating how power operates in and
through diversity management. The
systems of power that can be reinforced
through diversity practices include
patriarchy, heteronormativity and white
supremacy.

Feminism — or really, feminisms — is both a
theoretical field and a political practice
aimed at ending the subordination of
women.
FEMINISM
13
14
FEMINISMS
Feminism is far from a unitary
movement. Rather, it is often
distinguished through its political
positions including:
1. Liberal feminisms;
2. Marxist feminisms;
3. Poststructuralist and
postmodernist feminisms;
4. Anti-racist and decolonial
feminisms; and
5. Queer theory.
WARNING: There are inherent
limitations in the use of
classifications. Namely, they
suggest a temporal and special
fixedness in each classification. It’s
therefore important to remember
that feminism is also a process,
with each category identified
being revised and reshaped.

15
Anti-racism is a theoretical field and a
political practice aimed at ending the
subordination of people of colour. Like
feminist movements, it comprises diverse
groups of people struggling to ameliorate
conditions for their community.
ANTI-RACISM

Justice is what love looks like
in public
— Cornel West“

ANTI-RACISM
Anti-racism challenges white supremacy through
scholarship and activism that encourages love for
people of colour; especially, for people of colour to
learn to love ourselves.
This resistance affects organisations because unless
we love people of colour, we are not going to think of
them as capable, reliable, intelligent, creative, etc.

1. The document discusses patriarchy as a hierarchical social system that promotes male privilege through male domination and control. It is organized around the oppression of women through gender norms.
2. Gender norms are core principles that are socially enforced from childhood through adulthood to police masculine and feminine social roles and status. They are used to maintain patriarchal control.
3. Second-wave feminism in the 1960s-1970s aimed to analyze and challenge patriarchy through consciousness raising and activism. It was later fragmented by neoliberalism's emphasis on individualism over collective action and identity politics over structural issues.
Concern for human dignity, human development and gender equalityEyeFrani
The document discusses human dignity, human development, gender equality, nationalism, patriotism, and civic engagement. It defines these concepts and discusses their importance. For human dignity, it discusses definitions and foundations. For human development, it discusses definitions from the UN and pillars like equity and empowerment. For gender equality, it discusses definitions and issues like reproductive health and economic empowerment. For nationalism and patriotism, it distinguishes them and discusses civic engagement in the context of higher education and youth.
Final id501-culture in-the_plural-gizem_evcengizemcen
Michel de Certeau examines culture and society through three chapters. [Chapter 6] discusses how minorities gain cultural identity in opposition to majoritarian societies but lack true political power. [Chapter 8] views culture as a labor to be undertaken across society, but it has become passive consumption. [Chapter 10] contrasts "hard" economic regions exploiting "soft" cultural spaces, creating a "pathological zone" of boredom and passivity. De Certeau sees culture as practices that transform social structures through creative operations across differentiated social places.
Edb003 Anti Discrimination in Troubled TimesMsButow
This document discusses discrimination and anti-discrimination in educational contexts. It defines discrimination as unfair treatment of individuals based on their membership in a social group. Examples of discrimination discussed include verbal abuse reported by same-sex attracted youth and policies aimed at promoting safe schooling. The document also examines how notions of race, culture and the other have shifted, and how media discourse sometimes employs problematic language that risks producing a generic stereotyped other. Schools are discussed as sites that should work to avoid contributing to racism in society.
The document discusses various concepts related to the study of consumption including different types of migrants like elites, economic migrants, and political refugees. It also discusses questions about how media and popular culture help transnational youth cope and which coping mechanisms they gravitate towards. Key thinkers discussed include Paul Willis on social reproduction and working class youth, cultural citizenship and belonging, Said's contrapunctual method of reading texts, Ortiz's concept of Cuban culture as a contrapunteo of Spanish and African influences, and Bourdieu's theory of social reproduction involving different types of capital and how habitus shapes social practices.
This document discusses efforts to decolonize and diversify university curricula. It notes that currently curricula are often dominated by knowledge produced by upper-class European men. Student movements are calling for curricula that are less "white" and address non-Western perspectives and experiences with racism. The document advocates for incorporating works by Black theorists and embracing Black feminist epistemologies to dismantle Eurocentric approaches and better reflect intersectional lived experiences. A decolonized curriculum would disrupt the dominance of Western knowledge and instead value knowledge from a variety of cultural perspectives.
Culture, Women and VAW (Some reflectoins) Edna Aquino
This document discusses the use of "culture" to justify violence against women and failures to uphold women's rights. It argues that culture is not static or immutable, but is defined and shaped by those in power, usually patriarchal systems. While multiple cultures may exist, the dominant culture tends to be patriarchal and legitimizes violence as masculine. To effectively remove cultural justifications of violence against women, patriarchal cultures that promote violence must be overturned by asserting pluralistic voices and cultures.
Social innovation and the webs of culture - Frances WestleyNesta
Frances Westley examines how culture can both enable and constrain social innovation. She discusses the work of Tostan, which facilitated dialogue to empower communities in Senegal and end female genital cutting. Westley also analyzes how religion can be a barrier or opportunity for change, using the example of funeral ritual changes in Java. Finally, she explores how creating cultures of resilience and using art can catalyze radical social transformation by empowering marginalized voices.

This document discusses various factors of racism at the international level. It defines racism and lists different types, including state racism, direct racism, indirect racism, and internalized racism. The document also discusses issues like international student nationality statistics, reverse racism, racial attacks and human rights violations. It examines the causes and effects of racism and outlines approaches to anti-racism, protests against racism, and preventing racism. The conclusion is that while racism is wrong, people tend to take it out of proportion and need to be careful about what they say and not take remarks the wrong way.

Copenhagen monitoring inclusion and diversity 2012sapience
This document discusses Copenhagen's efforts to monitor and evaluate its inclusion policy through various tools and indicators. It outlines Copenhagen's inclusion policy from 2011-2014, which contains 8 measurable objectives. Progress on these objectives is tracked through an inclusion barometer using register and survey data. A project bank also monitors over 100 inclusion projects funded by the city. Copenhagen benchmarks its performance in intercultural policies against other cities using the Intercultural Cities Index. While monitoring provides benefits, challenges include limitations in measurement and estimating the policy's impact.
The speaker welcomes 260 participants from 65 cities to Integrating Cities in Amsterdam to discuss diversity and integration. Over two days, they will look at challenges of multicultural societies, share best practices, and listen to speakers. The speaker's mission is to have a tolerant and resilient city for future generations by building on history and role models while addressing present challenges, such as ensuring all youth properly speak Dutch and increasing economic participation of women. They will discuss how to equip future generations to thrive in hyperdiverse cities and uphold freedom and security simultaneously.
This document summarizes a keynote presentation on the "local turn" in diversity management and political discourses in Europe. The presentation argues that [1] European citizens are increasingly urban citizens and migration is an urban phenomenon, requiring a shift from focusing on citizens to focusing on cities. [2] Cities now play a prominent role in diversity governance but face challenges of multi-level governance and coordination between levels of government. [3] Internally, cities must manage diversity and related socio-political discourses, policies, and public opinion. The presentation aims to justify this "local turn" and discuss challenges for developing a European framework centered around diverse cities.
The speaker welcomes attendees to Amsterdam and discusses the city's history of diversity and inclusion. They note that Amsterdam has long been a refuge for religious and ethnic groups facing persecution. While the foundation is good, there is still work to be done to fully integrate diverse groups and address issues like intolerance and crime among some youth. Amsterdam pursues an active diversity policy and works to improve society through education, community engagement, and representation. The speaker is proud to host the conference on integrating cities as cities are best positioned to develop practices that create inclusive societies.
This document discusses structural convergence beneath ideological differences, multiple spaces of immigration, and the making of inequality and expulsions. It notes that beneath political distances, there are structural approximations between security apparatuses and citizens. There are diverse spaces that produce migrant subjects, including professionals, contract workers, business visa holders, and more. Inequality is actively made through varying economic systems and government regulations. Cities are growing due in part to expulsions from land grabs and mining that displace people to urban slums.
The mayor of Rotterdam, Ahmed Aboutaleb, gave a speech at the Integrating Cities Conference on March 9, 2012. In the speech, he discussed three main topics: 1) the current state of integration in Rotterdam, noting its diverse population of over 600,000 people from 174 nationalities, with 60% expected to have foreign roots in 10 years; 2) key requirements for successful local integration, including respect for fundamental rights, personal responsibility, and government collaboration; 3) recommendations for the EU, including clear integration frameworks, addressing legal statuses, harmonizing laws, and prioritizing respect for rights and personal responsibility.
This document discusses introductory and language courses as part of integration policy in Flanders, which is a multi-level governance issue. Integration policy in Flanders has two phases - inburgering for newcomers and integratie for longer-term integration. Inburgering includes an introductory program coordinated by welcome offices consisting of Dutch language training, social orientation, and career guidance. The program aims to encourage social participation. Integration is a partnership between various authorities at the federal, Flemish, and local levels.

The document summarizes Denmark's approach to providing Danish language courses for immigrants. It notes that language acquisition is key to integration and active citizenship. Denmark provides free, multi-level language courses through a nationwide system organized at the local level. In 2010, nearly 50,000 immigrants participated in the courses, with most enrolled in beginning or intermediate levels. The annual costs are split between the national and local governments, with the goal of helping immigrants pass language exams to gain permanent residency and citizenship.
Resettlement involves the relocation of refugees from a country of asylum to another state that has agreed to admit them and ultimately grant them permanent settlement. The document discusses resettlement and the EU's role in the process. It notes that less than 1% of refugees globally are resettled and outlines UNHCR's criteria for determining resettlement eligibility. The EU's involvement in resettlement has grown since 2008, with more member states establishing resettlement programs. The document advocates for the EU to take on a larger role in offering resettlement places and implementing a joint EU Resettlement Programme to utilize resettlement more strategically.

The document discusses diversity and anti-discrimination policies in Rennes, France. It notes that while diversity is increasingly accepted in France, the "right to difference" is seen as a threat. Rennes promotes a universal conception of diversity that treats individuals, not groups. It works to promote the idea of a plural city comprised of natives, migrants, and their descendants. Local initiatives include convergences culturelles, a charter for relevant projects, and a diversity committee to promote public debate and citizens' understanding of migration history in Rennes.
This document summarizes findings from several European projects on public communication regarding integration and immigration. It finds that public attitudes vary significantly based on age, education, location, and other factors. Cities have different levels of experience with integration and face challenges like limited resources and national political discourse. Promising practices identified include place-shaping campaigns, dialogue platforms, and participatory intercultural events. Effective communication requires understanding local contexts and involving stakeholders.
Toralv Moe, a senior adviser on diversity and integration to the city of Oslo, gave a presentation at a workshop in Amsterdam on leadership and public commitment to integration. He discussed how Oslo has a population that is 29% minority, with over 117,000 minority voters helping lead to a pro-diversity victory in the 2011 local election. Moe also talked about how Oslo promotes social mobility through education, gender equality, and social justice, and how the narrative of integration is woven into Norway's social and political history. He explained that diversity and tolerance are ingrained in Oslo's identity and that the 2011 terrorist attack led to a new sense of belonging.

2. The claim:
minorities have a right to maintain their culture
minority cultures are not sufficiently protected
by ensuring the individual rights of their
members
therefore minority cultures should also be
protected through special group rights or
privileges
3. Susan Moller Okin (US):
If minorities win group rights,
women lose out.
Unni Wikan, Necla Kelek, Ayaan Hirsi Ali
(Europe):
Governments should be proactive in
combatting Traditional Harmful Practices
(THPs).
4. If a (national) minority does not behave as a decent
liberal group:
Impose liberalism?
No. Try persuasion first, offer incentives for liberal
reforms
If that does not work, intervene while considering:
Severity of rights violation
Consensus in community
Exit options
Historical agreements
5. 1. How to address gender inequalities within
immigrant cultures, without adding to the

Editor's Notes
.
In Europe: UnniWikan, NeclaKelek, Ayaan Hirsi Ali warnedthat immigrant minoritygroups have traditional practicesthat are harmfultowomen: honourkilling, forced marriage, FGC andclaimedthatgovernmentsshouldbe more proactive in combatingTHP’s.In Europe minority immigrant groupsusually are notgrantedgrouprights, the right to FGC, tohonourrelatedviolence, toforced marriage. Their (Wikan etc.) claim thereforenotagainstgrouprights, but governmentscondoning these practices, notintervening out of (in theireyes) misplaced respect for immigrant cultures.
Multicultural Citizenship A liberal theory of minority rights (OUP: 1995) Yes/no intervention warranted?

‘Samen tegen eerwraak en schoonheidsideaal’ Yogether against honour killing and the slenderness ideal. It was the name of an essay, jointly written by native Dutch Tine Jensen and CilayÖzdemir, who is of Turkish descent. It was published in May 2007 in the NRC, a national newspaper. They write: At first sight there seem to be differences concerning sexuality and autonomy. For the Muslima, the symbolic ‘undressing’, showing her sexuality more explicitly … can be a deed of emancipation, while the native Dutch woman wants to expose the pressure to make your body fit to beauty norms. The labia reconstruction, an extreme consequence of the Western beauty ideal, ironically meets the ‘ideal’ of her Islamic sister on the operation table, when she is undergoing a hymen reconstruction or a circumcision. Both are excesses of the same symbol, namely that women still try to meet standards of chastity, sexuality and beauty, forced on them by men. Basicidea: formulate issues thattransgressculturaldifferences, sothatwomenfrom different background canidentifywiththem. Otherexample: neighbourhood project womencametogether on common identity ‘mothers of large families’.
