Select one:
a. popular responses to feminist critiques and traditionalist defences of marriage that swing
confusingly in their imagery and judgements
b. feminists like Gloria Steinem alternately opposing marriage and desiring it for themselves
c. husbands, for centuries, alternately lashing out at and lusting after their wives
d. single women holding contradictory desires and expectations and never taking the time to settle
into rational judgments about marriage
Question 2:
In the account of contemporary weddings by Sharon Boden (2007), the relationship between
‘romantic’ emotion and consumption should be theorised, in the end, as one in which
Select one:
a. authentic love wins out against consumer exploitation and false fairy tale fantasies
b. the experience of authentic love, stage managed performance and commodification of the symbols
and fantasies of love occurs simultaneously
c. love is never really authentic as it is stage managed by the bride who is driven by consumer

d. women end up just as exploited and oppressed in marriage as they have always been
Question 3:
Which shift in meaning is NOT recounted by Niyi Awofeso in “Wedding Rings And The Feminist
Movement” (2002), according to the lecturer in GEN210 lecture on Weddings, Monday August 29th,
2016?
Select one:
a. The early pagan idea of the wedding ring (which had symbolised the iron manacles of forced
capture of the woman by a man as his bride) was revived in the early Catholic idea of having a ring to
signify monogamous marriage as a Christian sacrament; that influenced the popular development of
the contemporary meaning of the wedding ring, symbolising love and commitment (with mutual,
fidelity to guard against sexual jealousy)
b. The early Roman and Byzantine idea of the ring as symbolising a contract was revived in the early
Catholic idea of having a wedding ring to signify monogamous marriage as a Christian contract and
sacrament; that influenced the popular development of the contemporary meaning of the wedding
ring as a social contract, symbolising love and commitment (now voluntary, with free partner choice
and the possibility of divorce)
c. The early Turkish idea of the puzzle ring symbolising the wife’s fidelity (enforced by the clever
design of the ring) was revived in the first wave feminist idea of the wife as being unfree sexually
(enforced by the legal and social prohibitions of the day); that 1890s feminist critique influenced the
popular development of the contemporary ideas of romance, and polyamory (with a mutual
commitment to enjoy sexual freedom and to overcome sexual jealousy)
d. The early pagan idea of the wedding ring symbolising the iron manacles of forced capture of the
woman by a man as his bride was revived in the second wave feminist idea of the wife as the man’s
property; that late 1960s feminist critique influenced the popular development of the contemporary
meaning of the wedding ring, symbolising romance, and spousal equality (with mutual, fidelity to
guard against sexual jealousy)
