The rise of the ‘yummy mummy’: popular conservatism and the neoliberal maternal in contemporary British culture

This article analyses the emergence of the new social type of the ‘yummy mummy’ by examining the constellation of narratives circulating through and around it in British culture. It contends that, whilst it has some notable precursors, the idea of the yummy mummy marks a fairly substantial cultural shift given the weight of the western Christian tradition that has overwhelmingly positioned the mother as asexual. Coming into being in part through an increasing social divide between rich and poor, this stock type most often serves to augment a white, thirtysomething position of privilege, shoring up its boundaries against the other side of the social divide (so-called ‘pramfaces’). At the same time it is part of a wider fetishisation of the maternal that coexists with profoundly gendered inequalities in relation to childcare in particular. Drawing from a range of sources, and in particular autobiographical celebrity guidebooks and ‘henlit’ novels, the article argues that the figure of the yummy mummy functions to elide such social contexts, instead espousing a girlish, high-consuming maternal ideal as a site of hyperindividualised psychological ‘maturity’. ‘Successful’ maternal femininity in this context is often articulated by rejecting ‘environmentally-conscious’ behaviour and in attempting to render what are presented as excessive eco-delusions both abject and transparent. This tendency, the article argues, is indicative of the conservative nature of the phenomenon, which is forced to belittle and disavow wider structures of social, political and ecological dependency in order for its conservative fantasy of autonomous, individualising retreatism to be maintained

Why “intergenerational feminist media studies”?

Feminism and generation are live and ideologically freighted issues that are subject to a substantial amount of media engagement. The figure of the millennial and the baby boomer, for example, regularly circulate in mainstream media, often accompanied by hyperbolic and vitriolic discourses and affects of intergenerational feminist conflict. In addition, theories of feminist generation and waves have been and continue to be extensively critiqued within feminist theory. Given the compelling criticisms directed at these categories, we ask: why bother examining and foregrounding issues of generation, intergeneration, and transgeneration in feminist media studies? Whilst remaining sceptical of linearity and familial metaphors and of repeating reductive, heteronormative, and racist versions of feminist movements, we believe that the concept of generation does have critical purchase for feminist media scholars. Indeed, precisely because of the problematic ways that is it used, and the prevalence of it as a volatile, yet only too palpable, organizing category, generation is both in need of continual critical analysis, and is an important tool to be used—with care and nuance—when examining the multiple routes through which power functions in order to marginalize, reward, and oppress. Exploring both diachronic and synchronic understandings of generation, this article emphasizes the use of conjunctural analysis to excavate the specific historical conditions that impact upon and create generation. This special issue of Feminist Media Studies covers a range of media forms—film, games, digital media, television, print media, as well as practices of media production, intervention, and representation. The articles also explore how figures at particular lifestages—particularly the girl and the aging woman—are constructed relationally, and circulate, within media, with particular attention to sexuality. Throughout the issue there is an emphasis on exploring the ways in which the category of generation is mobilized in order to gloss sexism, racism, ageism, class oppression, and the effects of neoliberalism

Inductance coils based on glass-coated cast microwire with magnetic coating

Influence of a magnetic covering on parameters of coils from micro wire is examined

Импульсные экранированные резистивные высоковольтные делители напряжения

It is presented the description of the construction of the impulse high voltage resistive divider on the base of cast microwire in glass insulation on 40-80 kV. It is presented results of tests of the sample model of the dividers as well

Correlation of crystalline structure with magnetic and transport properties of glass-coated microwires

We overviewed the correlation between the structure, magnetic and transport properties of magnetic microwires prepared by the Taylor-Ulitovsky method involving rapid quenching from the melt and drawing of the composite (metallic core, glass coated) wire. We showed that this method can be useful for the preparation of different families of magnetic microwires: soft magnetic microwires displaying Giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect, semi-hard magnetic microwires, microwires with granular structure exhibiting Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) effect and Heusler-type microwires. Magnetic and transport properties of magnetic microwires depend on the chemical composition of metallic nucleus and on the structural features (grain size, precipitating phases) of prepared microwires. In all families of crystalline microwires, their structure, magnetic and transport properties are affected by internal stresses induced by the glass coating, depending on the quenching rate. Therefore, properties of glass-coated microwires are considerably different from conventional bulk crystalline alloys.This work was supported by Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) under Projects MAT2013-47231-C2-1-P and MAT2013-47231-C2-2-P.

La construcción ritual de la identidad de género en la infancia: estudio de caso en Moa, Cuba

La presente indagación particulariza en los rituales socializadores mediante los cuales se reproduce y legitima la heteronormatividad y la masculinidad hegemónica en la niñez en los espacios escolares y hacia el interior de los grupos de pares en la ciudad de Moa, comunidad industrial donde la principal actividad económica es la minería y la metalurgia, situada al noreste de Cuba. En esta ciudad las estadísticas de violencia de género tienen un espiral ascendente desde el año 2010 hasta la actualidad. Se enfatiza en la correlación de rituales de la vida cotidiana y la construcción de la identidad masculina en la infancia, enfocado desde la microsociología de Goffman para cuya comprensión se emplea el análisis de los rituales desarrollado por los niños. La investigación contribuyó a aportar una perspectiva de estudio, desde el instrumental del análisis etnográfico donde describimos los rituales socializadores que fortalecen el sistema simbólico patriarcal mediante el cual reproducen su cohesión grupal, socializando a sus hijos dentro de estas normas androcéntricas. El empleo de la metodología dramatúrgica de Goffman posibilitó encontrar las relaciones simbólicas entre los niños y sus iguales adultos, cómo construyen sus identidad masculina a través de una relación dialéctica, en espacios homosocializadores donde generan sentidos en los grupos masculinos, producen representaciones sociales y estas orientan la formación de los habitus masculinos. Donde ocurre además la significación y delimitación de los espacios sociales de lo femenino y lo masculino
