Michael Haneke’s The Piano Teacher (2001) and Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010) are films about women directed by men. Both films unorthodoxly chart women artists’ struggle with the discipline imposed on them by the arts and by their live-in mothers. By portraying mothers as their daughters’ oppressors, both films disturb the naïve “women = victims and men = perpetrators” binary. Simultaneously, they deploy audiovisual violence to exhibit the violence of society’s gender and sexuality policy norms and use gender-coded romance narratives to subvert the same gender codes from within this gender discourse. Using Judith Butler’s and Michael Foucault’s theories, we argue that Haneke and Aronofsky “do” feminism unconventionally by exposing the nexus of women’s complicity with omnipresent societal power structures that safeguard gender norms. These films showcase women concurrently as victim-products and complicit partisans of socially constructed gender ideology to emphasize that this ideology can be destabilized only when women “do” their gender and sexuality differently through acts of subversion.

IntroductionIn the last decade, Venezuela has experienced a complex humanitarian crisis that has limited access to healthcare. We set out to describe Venezuelan women's experiences accessing sexual and reproductive health services, including abortion, which is heavily restricted by law.MethodsWe fielded an online survey in July of 2020 among Venezuelan women recruited through social media advertisements. We conducted descriptive statistical analyses using Excel and STATA SE Version 16.0.ResultsWe received 851 completed survey responses. Almost all respondents experienced significant hardship in the last year, including inflation (99%), worries about personal safety (86%), power outages (76%), and lack of access to clean water (74%) and medications (74%). Two thirds of respondents used contraception in the last two years, and almost half (44%) of respondents had difficulty accessing contraception during that same time period. About one fifth of respondents reported having had an abortion; of these, 63% used abortion pills, and 72% reported difficulties in the process. Half of those who had an abortion did it on their own, while the other half sought help – either from family members or friends (34%), from providers in the private health sector (14%), or from the Internet (12%).ConclusionsVenezuelan women who responded to our survey describe a harsh context with limited access to sexual and reproductive health services. However, they report relatively high rates of contraceptive use, and abortion seems to be common despite the restrictive legal setting.

Neste artigo, abordamos os termos da representação lésbica em dois longas-metragens, de ficção, realizados por mulheres no Brasil, no período de ditadura civil-militar (1964-1985). Analisamos Marcados para viver (1976), de Maria do Rosário Nascimento e Silva, e Amor maldito (1984), de Adélia Sampaio.  Partimos de referenciais feministas do cinema, que reconhecem o jogo de (in)visibilidade lésbica em cinematografias, desde filmes clássicos de Hollywood, sustentando que, apesar de códigos de censura e do padrão de heterossexualidade compulsória ou de heteronormatividade, as lésbicas sempre apareceram neles, mesmo que de maneira fantasmagórica. ======= In this article, I address the terms of lesbian representation in two fictional feature films directed by women in Brazil during the period of civil-military dictatorship (1964-1985), namely Marcados para viver (1976), by Maria do Rosário Nascimento e Silva, and Amor maldito (1984), by Adélia Sampaio. Beginning with feminist references in cinema, which have recognized the play of lesbian (in)visibility in cinematographies since the classic age of Hollywood, I maintain that, despite censorship codes and the standard of compulsory heterosexuality or heteronormativity, lesbians have always been present, even if in a ghostly manner.

Endometriosis is a chronically painful, invasive, inflammatory disease, with limited treatment options and long delays to diagnosis, which impacts 10% of females in New Zealand.IntroductionAs part of a larger group discussion study, this paper covers three themes associated with endometriosis patient experiences: intensity of pain, diagnostic tool shortcomings and perspectives of treatment options.Materials and methodsThe goal of this research was the inclusion of patient voices to guide research priorities. In early 2022, 50 New Zealand endometriosis patients participated in anonymous, asynchronous, text-based group discussions on the VisionsLive platform. The patients ranged in age from 18–48. The patients answered 50 questions, 23 text-based and 27 quantitative, and then took part in online group discussions.Results and discussionThe average age of symptom onset was 15.3 years, while the average delay from symptom onset to a working or surgically confirmed diagnosis was 7.91 years. The top five reported symptoms within the cohort were pain-based, and the participants discussed the many impacts of this pain on their work and education. The four main diagnostic tools employed on this cohort were abdominal ultrasound (72%), transvaginal ultrasound (68%), laparoscopy (82%) and sharing their symptom history with a medical practitioner (88%). The most common emotions patients experienced following receiving a diagnosis of endometriosis were relief (86%), feeling overwhelmed (54%), and anger (32%). The main treatments offered to this cohort were pain relief (96%), laparoscopic surgery (84%) and the combined oral contraceptive pill (80%). Of these three treatments, only laparoscopic surgery was viewed positively by the majority of users, with 67% considering laparoscopy an effective treatment, compared to 46% of users for pain relief, and 25% of users for the combined oral contraceptive pill.ConclusionsGathering the voice of patients revealed that long delays to diagnosis and dismissal by medical practitioners frequently manifests as a reaction of relief by patients once diagnosed. Results also showed treatment options such as pain relief and hormonal medications were often considered ineffective, but were routinely offered as the first, or only, options for patients. It is therefore important that both quicker routes to diagnosis and more effective treatment options be developed.

Este trabajo se adentra en el cruce de los estudios de música popular y problemáticas de género y diversidad sexual a partir de la descripción del entramado de sentidos que organizaron la participación de las mujeres en el mundo del “rock nacional” en Argentina. Con especial interés, el artículo se detiene en la producción de tres compositoras y cantantes: Marilina Ross, Sandra Mihanovich y Celeste Carballo. Las artistas seleccionadas, además de ser mujeres en un mundo donde los varones heterosexuales ocupaban una posición privilegiada, se relacionaron con los procesos de visibilización de la homosexualidad que se dieron en la época.
