From “I’m Never Having Children” to Motherhood: A Critical Analysis of Silence and Voice in Negotiations of Childbearing Face

Abstract: Women who once communicated themselves as permanently childless/childfree by choice but then became mothers must negotiate a drastic shift in childbearing identity. To study this identity work, the present study adopts performative face theory, a critical interpersonal and family communication theory that places Goffman’s theory of face in conversation with Butler’s theory of performativity. In this theorization, negotiations of face sediment oppositional identities through the reiterative power of discursive and bodily acts. Critical-qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with mothers who once told others they never wanted to have children demonstrates how the facework strategies of voice and silence allow women to perform the “sincerely childfree” face and then the “good (future) mother” face. These negotiations of face are enabled and constrained by relations of power that define identity categories. Although these negotiations of face are often relationally harmonious, they also reify pow...

Challenges for Hate Speech Recognition System: Approach based on Solution

Abstract: Hate speech spreads as the quantity of content on the internet grows. Automated methods for identifying hate speech in text face a number of challenges, which we investigate and assess. Language complexity, differing views on what constitutes hate speech, and data availability restrictions for algorithm training and testing are some of the difficulties. As a result, it may be difficult to decipher the reasoning behind the decisions made by many current methods. With our multiview SVM technique, we give near-state of the art SVM results that are easier to comprehend than neural approaches. In addition, we look at the challenges that this endeavour faces on a technological and practical level.

Face perception: a developmental perspective

Abstract: Book synopsis: The first ever comprehensive review of the field of face perception, providing a much needed reference work for students and researchers in the brain sciences Includes cutting edge chapters, written and edited by an international team of top researchers Illustrated in full colour throughout The human face is unique among social stimuli in conveying such a variety of different characteristics. A person's identity, sex, race, age, emotional state, focus of attention, facial speech patterns, and attractiveness are all detected and interpreted with relative ease from the face. Humans also display a surprising degree of consistency in the extent to which personality traits, such as trustworthiness and likeability, are attributed to faces. In the past thirty years, face perception has become an area of major interest within psychology, with a rapidly expanding research base. Yet until now, there has been no comprehensive reference work bringing together this ever growing body of research. The Oxford Handbook of Face Perception is the most comprehensive and commanding review of the field ever published. It looks at the functional and neural mechanisms underlying the perception, representation, and interpretation of facial characteristics, such as identity, expression, eye gaze, attractiveness, personality, and race. It examines the development of these processes, their neural correlates in both human and non-human primates, congenital and acquired disorders resulting from their breakdown, and the theoretical and computational frameworks for their underlying mechanisms. With chapters by an international team of leading authorities from the brain sciences, the book is a landmark publication on face perception. For anyone looking for the definitive text on this burgeoning field, this is the essential book.
