Teoría feminista y el agente social dócil: algunas reflexiones sobre el renacimiento islámico en Egipto
No full textThis article was originally published by Saba Mahmood in the journal Cultural Anthropology, volume 16, number 2, in 2001 with the title: «Feminist Theory, Embodiment, and the Docile Agent: Some Reflections on the Egyptian Islamic Revival». In 2008, the article was published in Spanish in a book edited by Liliana Suárez Navaz y Rosalva Aída Hérnandez Castillo in Cátedra: Descolonizando el feminismo: teorías y prácticas desde los márgenes. In the article, Saba Mahmood, who recently passed away, deals with a main debate in feminist theory: social agency. Through an analysis of the piety movement in Egypt in the 1990s and precisely of the study of five mosques in El Cairo, the author questions the consideration of social agency as a synonym of resistance to domination relations, which prevents the study of movements as the one she studies. She offers a conceptualization of agency as capacity of action that is habilitated and created inside specific historical relations of subordination.Este texto fue originalmente publicado por Saba Mahmood en la revista Cultural Anthropology en el volumen 16, número 2, del año 2001 con el título: «Feminist Theory, Embodiment, and the Docile Agent: Some Reflections on the Egyptian Islamic Revival». En el año 2008, el texto fue publicado en castellano en un libro editado por Liliana Suárez Navaz y Rosalva Aída Hérnandez Castillo en Cátedra: Descolonizando el feminismo: teorías y prácticas desde los márgenes. En él, la autora recientemente fallecida, aborda un debate central en la teoría feminista, la agencia social. A través del análisis del movimiento de la piedad en el Egipto de los años 90 y concretamente del estudio de cinco mezquitas en El Cairo, Mahmood cuestiona que se considere la agencia social como un sinónimo de resistencia a las relaciones de dominación, lo que impide el estudio de movimientos como el que ella estudia, y aboga por una concepción de la agencia como capacidad de acción que se habilita y crea en relaciones de subordinación históricamente específicas

Aspects of the social geography of the province of Sistan/Baluchestan, Iran
No full textThe Kordi (Kurd) tribe now living in Iranian Baluchestan would appear to be an offshoot of the far more numerous Kurdish peoples of the north-western Zagros Mountains of Iran-Iraq. The Kordi were settled in their present location possibly in the l6th Century AD, but much more likely in the l8th Century, originally to act as tax-gatherers on behalf of the Shah-in-Shah. For many years they lived as pastoralists (often nomadic), tax gatherers, guardians of the frontier, and by raiding and plunder. Their habitat, round the Kuh-e-Taftan massif (one of the more fertile areas in the extremely arid and topographically difficult region of Baluchestan) allows some agriculture; and since the 1940's especially, the Kordi people have turned increasingly to a settled way of life based on mixed farming - mostly cultivation, with some animal herding. The thesis examines the origins of the Kordi, their geographical environment, social organisation and demography; and considers present and future evolution of this people in a changed and changing Iranian State
A Correlation Study of Pakistani EFL Teachers’ Professional discerning and their Critical Thinking
No full textA great deal of research is done on teacher training and teacher education worldwide, but a few studies appeared on teacher’s professional discerning and particularly on teachers’ critical thinking skills. Critical thinking, with regard to EFL teachers, has not been taken into consideration early on. This study explores the relationship between EFL teacher’s professional discerning and their critical thinking in Pakistani context. A quantitative paradigm has been adopted to find out if there is any relationship between EFL teachers’ professional discerning and their critical thinking. The participants consisted of 93 EFL teachers teaching English at the university level in Pakistan. The researcher utilized a professional discerning (identity) research tool taken from Sheybani and Miri (2019) and a derived Critical Thinking Inventory (DCT) designed by the researcher to collect data. To analyze the relationship between EFL teachers’s professional discerning and their critical thinking ability, the data were analyzed by R (statistical program). The results of correlation analysis unfolded that the sub-constructs of professional discerning questionnaire tools are predicted by critical thinking. A highly positive and statistically significant correlation was observed in the analysis. The study highlights the significance and important role of critical thinking in shaping EFL teachers’ professional discerning, particularly in their teaching context. The study proves the inventive conduct of EFL teachers in the present era of knowledge and learning. The study will positively contribute to language teaching and learning, and it would open up new vistas for EFL teachers, syllabus designers, and academia
