Abstract: Presidential timber. So far, the human material that
makes presidents has been male. The masculine character of the
presidency has been simply understood as part of the traditions
that so dominate this institution, but inside tradition lay more
implicit assumptions that make
presidential elections masculine space: the test of executive
toughness, a preference for military heroes, the sporting metaphors of
debates, and more. As the single great leader and commander and chief
of the greatest nation on earth, Americans have carefully sought the
right man for the job. This orientation poses two realms to
investigate, struggles over dominant masculinity and implications for
women as candidates and citizens. Using content analysis of major
newspaper accounts, this paper analyzes gender throughout the four-year
election cycle. At each stage of the cycle thus far in the 2004 race,
it assesses both realms in the context of events and key issues,
campaign processes and strategies, and news framing. |

"Thus the Buddha Spoke: Religious Influence on Asian Legal Culture" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the The Law and Society Association, Renaissance Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, May 27, 2004 <Not Available>. 2009-11-26 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p116942_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript

Abstract: Drawing on examples from research on Tibetan law, this paper will discuss commonalities in Asian legal systems, cultures, and traditions that derive from the influence of Buddhism. The possibility of such a pervasive influence is often denied or ignored in studies of individual Asian societies or in broader views of so-called “Asian legal culture,” yet a focus on Buddhism may prove essential to explore connections both historically and in contemporary Asia. |
