Feminist Ethnography
The hashtag I chose for the assignment is #feminism. It is found on multiple social mediums such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The hashtag manifests the notions of women empowerment and condemns patriarchal, gender stereotypes. It makes the reader reflect on this important issue and communicates the idea that even in the 21st century, women do struggle to access the same rights as men. Recently, I came across this hashtag on Instagram, mentioned in two different pictures. The first picture was of Qandeel Baloch who was an active Pakistani feminist and the second picture was of a woman, wearing a shirt that said, “Nasty Woman”.
Qandeel Baloch is an embodiment of women empowerment because she challenged the patriarchal society in which

    Feminist theory does not have one official definition and can take many different forms (Hick, 2010). Most feminists agree that all women in society have the right to obtain the same economic, political and social rights that their male counterparts experience (Hick, 2010). The belief that women are treated differently than men within society is a well-known phenomenon. Historically, the basis of feminist theory is presumed to have arisen out of the three waves of feminism (Hick, 2010). Women in Canada have made vast strides towards attaining more rights and resisting gender-based discriminatory beliefs and assumptions that aim to socially exclude women from reclaiming their womanhood (Mullaly, 2010). Women’s social position as subordinate…

    Intersectionality as a concept was introduced to feminist theory in order to deal with the various forms of interrelated classes such as disability, race/ethnicity, religion, gender and social class (Shaw, Chan and McMahon, 2012:83). Furthermore, intersectionality was defined by Kimberle Crenshaw (1999) in trying to understand the various oppressions of race/ethnicity, gender and social class as experienced by African women. Wendell (1996:70) is of the opinion that living with a disability is not the same for all individuals with disabilities because disabilities are differently experienced. Thus, living with a similar disability is different for women from different race/ethnicity, social class and age groups. Wendell (1996:71) writes that…

    Everyone has a certain language and behavior depending on where they are or where they’re from. I personally have experienced different ways language has been portrayed when I’m around a certain place or with a certain person, like a relative per say. In my family, when we are at home, we get in a very comfortable state of being as, opposed to the way we would in a public setting. My parents who are not from the United States, express their language and behavior in a different way from others. At home, my parent’s usually speak to me and my brothers in English, however, they would also use certain terms or sentences in Albanian. In public however, they usually speak English, but they would have a hard time talking to people who are non-Albanian.…

    Naturalism is a literary movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in America, England, and France that produced a type of "realistic" fiction, but it was not realism exactly. It created a mode of representation that is detailed, detached, and obejctive. Naturalism assumes that humans have almost no power over what happens in a situation; things happen to people; they are at the mercy of a variety of external and internal forces. Naturalist novels present subjects as objective, without commenting on the morality or fairness of the situations. Also, characters are presented as pessimist, that life, in general, is an inescapable trap. In the novel, The Awakening by Kate Chopin, naturalism is employed to show how the Victorian era was inherently patriarchal by using Edna Pontellier as a victim to enforce the political, social, and psychological oppression of women in society.…

    The philosophy of feminism involves attempting to use the methods of philosophy to further the cause of feminist movements. Bell hooks is a feminist who successfully does exactly that. I will discuss how Kimberlé Crenshaw’s literature Traffic at the Crossroads: Multiple Oppressions has a very similar underlying vision shared with bell hooks about what it takes to effectively liberate women in society. I will also discuss how Judith Butler’s postmodern theories in Contingent Foundations: Feminism and the Question of “Postmodernism” correlate positively with bell hooks’ ideologies in her ‘radical agenda’. I will discuss that Martha Nussbaum’s philosophical presentation of feminist movement differs from hooks’ but does contain some of the same underlying visions of how to aid in the liberation of women all over the world. Lastly I will discuss that I agree with hooks’ claim that there cannot be an effective feminist movement without liberatory feminist theory, and what liberation really entails.…

    Ethnography is defined as “A branch of anthropology dealing with the scientific description of individual cultures.” (Dictionary.com 2017) We’ve read two ethnographies so far that explores the culture of two different groups of people in two very different ways: “Culture and the Senses: Bodily Ways of Knowing in an African Community” By Kathryn Linn Geurts and “Real Black: Adventures in Racial Sincerity” By John L. Jackson. Both authors exploring each culture differently but were still able to magnificently capture the essence of each culture in one book. In this essay I will be discussing the main point of each ethnography, exploring their similarities, as well as how each ethnography taught me something new about lived experience.…
