Implications Of A Feminist Narratology: Temporality, Focalization And Voice In The Films Of Julie Dash, Mona Smith And Trinh T. Minh-Ha, Jennifer Alyce Machiorlatti
Implications Of A Feminist Narratology: Temporality, Focalization And Voice In The Films Of Julie Dash, Mona Smith And Trinh T. Minh-Ha, Jennifer Alyce Machiorlatti
Wayne State University Dissertations
This dissertation conducts feminist narrative textual analysis of films by three independent women film-makers-of- color: Julie Dash, Mona Smith and Trinh T. Minh-ha. The research utilizes traditional cinematic narratological methods combined with a feminist perspective. Narratology is the structural/textual study of narrative organization, style and content. Feminism is a theoretical body of inquiry which lends implications of gender difference, power relationships, cinematic stereotypes, and cultural significance to textual analysis. Feminist inquiry contributes a social, cultural, ideological and historical perspective to the taxomony of a structuralist narrative methodology. By combining this contextual perspective with a topological textual method, I propose consideration …

Potential Roles For Transforming Growth Factor-B During Terminal Differentiation Of Ocular Lens Cells /, Dawn Marie Richiert

During terminal differentiation, lens fiber cells permanently withdraw from the cell cycle, migrate posteriorly along the lens capsule, become greatly elongated and eliminate all cellular organelles. Lens fiber differentiation may be controlled by various factors within the ocular environment. The lens capsule may influence lens fibers, since regions of the capsule differ in components and architecture. TGF-β is known as a regulator of both cell division and differentiation as well as a modulator of ECM production. Since TGF-β is found in the ocular environment and within lens cells, these functions of TGF-β in the lens were examined. In the avian …

On Matchings And Factors Of Graphs /, Ciping Chen
Wayne State University Dissertations
In Section 1, we recall the historical sketch of matching and factor theory of graphs, and also introduce some necessary definitions and notation. In Section 2, we present a sufficient condition for the existence of a (g, f)-factor in graphs with the odd-cycle property, which is simpler than that of Lovasz's (g, f)-Factor Theorem. From this, we derive some further results, and we show that (a) every r-regular graph G with the odd-cycle property has a k-factor, where 0 ≤ k ≤ r and k|V(G)| ≡ 0 (mod 2), (b) every graph G with the strong odd-cycle property with k|V(G)|≡ …
