The metropolitan gaze: travelers, bodies and spaces
The author quotes some tourist advertisings to present “travel=desire”. It is true that “travel=desire” is a good advertising image makes verbal and visual expression to the equation of travel with sexuality. [1]And the author proposes that the stories of “Butterfly in Bankok” explaining the links between sexuality and tourism which takes women into the prostitute industry. Then the author http://www.ukassignment.org/dxassignment/ pointed out the relationship between nationalism and sexuality. At the part of “from tourist gaze to tourist grasp”, it indicated that it is first world tourists who receive, and third world workers who provide, personalized, and often embodied, serviced. And then the author introduces other centers and margins to supplement. The author does think using the Enloe’s phrase “The Morning After”, to describe post-cold war gender and sexual relations seems particularly apposite.
At the end of the article, the author certified that the desires invoked by the tourist advertising described at the beginning of the article can no longer be seen as innocent. It is the high time that we should consider the issue “sexing the globe, globalizing sex” seriously.

week7-1
There have been numerous studies of prostitution in Thailand in recent years. [1]Some think that presentation of the Thai sex industry was seen as a product of male sex right. Some consider that Thai culture have contributed to the growth in prostitution over the years. Indeed, prostitute women themselves draw upon images of themselves as “dutiful daughters” and view their contributions to the family income as meritorious. In the author’s opinion, the image of the prostitute works to regulate women’s sexual activity by confining women’s proper sexual role to reproduction.
“Sex and Borders” addresses the issue of prostitution in Thailand as a study of the political discussion of and responses to prostitution as a window onto the link between gender and national identity. At the end of the introduction, the author introduces the contents of different part of the book, which covers the development of prostitution policy in Thailand from the late 1800s to the present day, viewing it as a product of struggles and debates over national identity and gender.

Migrant female domestic workers: debating the economic, social and political impacts in Singapore
越来越多的妇女参与国际劳务移民同时发送和接收国，不仅在该地区的移民和移民的法规，而且在移民妇女的就业政策调控方面，提出了关键的政策问题和关注。
The increasing numbers of women involved in international labor migration have raised crucial policy issues and concerns for both the sending and receiving countries, not only in the area of emigration and immigration legislation, but also in terms of policies regulating the employment of migrant women.
This article analyses the case of Singapore which provides a case study of a country where foreign maids are seen as an economic necessity but not without important social consequences and political ramifications as a major recipient of migrant domestic workers form four paralleling aspects: state policy on migrant domestic workers in Singapore, economic impacts, social impacts, political and security impacts. [1]
What we can see is that it is clear that transnational labor migration is a complex phenomenon involving larger political, economic and social forces operating at global, regional and domestic levels. There are both positive and negative impacts.

Week-9
The nation and its women
The author describes the relationship between the nation and its women by dividing the article into five parts which go forward one by one: the paradox of the women’s question, the women’s question in “tradition”, the women’s question in nationalism, differences as a principle of selection, a genealogy of the resolution, elements of a critique of the resolution. [1]
At the beginning of the article, the author proposed that the “women’s question” was a central issue in the most controversial debates over social reform in renaissance. Then the author indicated India nationalism http://www.ukassignment.org/dxassignment/ took up the women’s question as a problem of Indian tradition. And the nationalism separates the domain of culture into two spheres-the material and the spiritual. At the end of the article, the author said no matter what the changes in the external conditions of life for women, they must not lose their essentially spiritual virtues.
Indeed, the life and condition of middle-class women have changed over the last one hundred years or so by education.
The author's opinion was stressed again at the end of the article.
