Let The Record Show: Mapping Queer Art And Activism In New York City, 1986-1995, Tara Jean-Kelly Burk
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Although scholars increasingly scrutinize late twentieth-century American art produced in relation to social movements organized around feminism, anti-racist politics, health activism, and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) identity, scholars usually fail to address the importance of printed ephemera as a medium of artistic expression. Ephemeral materials, such as posters, are cheap to make and print. They are typically distributed illicitly via un-commissioned wheat-paste campaigns in urban public space. Collectives tend to make their designs copyright-free to encourage wide distribution. Particularly in the era before digital social media, these materials were central to the ways in which communities coalesced in …
Economies Of Touring In American Theatre Culture, 1835-1861, Nicole Berkin
Economies Of Touring In American Theatre Culture, 1835-1861, Nicole Berkin
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Employing methods from print and material culture studies, this dissertation explores the economic, social, and cultural dynamics of theatrical touring during a period, 1835-1861, when the ultimate symbols of anxiety over rising industrialization, migration, and urbanization--con artists and prostitutes or "confidence men and painted women"- were associated with both theatre and transportation. I argue that touring was central to the spread of theatre culture and is therefore critical to understanding U.S. popular culture. This project examines how geographic movements, as well as the circulation of extra-theatrical materials like newspapers and photographs, were instrumental not only for performers who attempted to …
Facts Behind The Façade: Is There More To Dieting Than Meets The Eye?, Huda Iqbal Ahmed Qazi
Facts Behind The Façade: Is There More To Dieting Than Meets The Eye?, Huda Iqbal Ahmed Qazi
Journal of International Women's Studies
This paper extends a previous qualitative research on female yo-yo dieters/weight cyclers in the UK. Out of nine participants in the previous study, this investigation has made use of feminist perspectives to further analyze the data of four participants that was previously derived via thematic analysis. Feminist analysis revealed that initiation of frequent dieting episodes is not merely to lose weight; rather complex control and identity issues as well as negative emotions play a role in triggering yo-yo dieting in some women. Furthermore, the similarity of these manifestations to eating disorders is discussed.

You're Trans-Mexi-Fying Right Before Our Eyes: Westernized Bodily Features And Beauty Practices In Ugly Betty, Luz-Maria Tato-Pazo
Journal of International Women's Studies
Makeover narratives are a form of discourse which relies on some type of transformation as a path to success. These narratives mainly target the bodies of white middle-class and middle-aged heterosexual women with the aim of creating more conventionally beautiful feminine subjects. This article explores the beauty practices and rituals present in the US dramedy Ugly Betty. We look in detail at makeover narratives and their close association with contemporary idealized versions of female attractiveness. Closely tied up with the makeover canon, the beauty industry entails processes of disciplining women’s bodies to meet the requirements of an ideal feminine …
Ecofeminism And Natural Disasters: Sri Lankan Women Post-Tsunami, Alyssa Banford, Cameron Kiely Froude
Ecofeminism And Natural Disasters: Sri Lankan Women Post-Tsunami, Alyssa Banford, Cameron Kiely Froude
Journal of International Women's Studies
Women experience a host of negative consequences during and after a natural disaster. A variety of feminist theories have been used to explore this phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to posit the need for an ecofeminist perspective on analyzing women’s vulnerabilities post-natural disaster. The authors will discuss the history and branches of ecofeminism, highlighting their utility in exploring the intersection of race, class, and gender in the aftermath of disaster. An ecofeminist analysis of Sri Lankan women’s vulnerability in the wake of the 2004 tsunami will be used to illustrate the utility of the theory. Implications of using …

The Sacred Cow And The New Comer: A Comparative Study Of Nation-State And Umma, Ayat Abdulaty Mohamed
The Sacred Cow And The New Comer: A Comparative Study Of Nation-State And Umma, Ayat Abdulaty Mohamed
Theses and Dissertations
International relations discipline witnessed debates among its mainstream theories. Today the debate worthy of attention is the Western-centrism of the discipline. There is an immense critique of the Westphalian state order, the nation-state, and the absence of religion in IR theory. This research aspires to partially account for the voids of the IR theory. It engages with the debate over the Western-centrism and the loopholes of IRT. This thesis introduces a non-Western contribution to international relations, an Islamic perspective of IR. This thesis argues that for IR discipline to be truly pluralistic and to claim universality it should be opened …

A Model Citizen: Ethos, Conservation, And The Rhetorical Construction Of Aldo Leopold, Daniel Cryer
A Model Citizen: Ethos, Conservation, And The Rhetorical Construction Of Aldo Leopold, Daniel Cryer
English Language and Literature ETDs
This dissertation explores the changing, multifaceted ethos of Aldo Leopold (1887-1948), one of the twentieth centurys most versatile environmental communicators. Drawing on scholarship in environmental rhetoric, rhetorical genre theory, citizenship theory and ecofeminism, I argue that throughout his career Leopold offered evolving rhetorical versions of himself as ideals of ecological behavior to be emulated by his readers. The chapters analyze Leopold's ethos as it was constructed in his early-career writings in the New Mexico Game Protective Association Pine Cone, a wildlife protection broadsheet; in the Report on a Game Survey of the North Central States, his first book; in reports …

On Academic Confidence, Xian Zhou
On Academic Confidence, Xian Zhou
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
China's academic confidence is an emergent issue at present, but this issue is deeply rooted in the historical and cultural context configured by two parallel trends in late 19th- and early 20th-century China: the influence of the Western civilization and the decline of Chinese traditional culture. From the period of "the sick man of East Asia" to the current "China's rise," the travel of theory in the globalization ignites the appeal for academic originality. This appeal to re-establish Chinese academic confidence is not merely a slogan but a strategy with complicated cultural imports. The key to rebuild this confidence lies …
The Poetic Origins Of Media Studies: Some Quantitative Preliminary Understandings, Murvai Peter, Scheffel-Dunand Dominique
The Poetic Origins Of Media Studies: Some Quantitative Preliminary Understandings, Murvai Peter, Scheffel-Dunand Dominique
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
If the modernist model has dominated the field of literary theory at least since the second half of the 19th Century, does this mean that it also provided a conceptual and discursive framework which was to be adopted and adapted by the field of Media Studies in the 20th Century? The present study gives a tentative answer to this question by shedding light on some of the correlations between concepts found in the modernist aesthetics and in a number of canonical texts in the fields of Media and Communication. More precisely, we propose to conduct a quantitative investigation. Its purpose …
Political Islam And Religious Violence In Post-New Order Indonesia, Abdil Mughis Mudhoffir
Political Islam And Religious Violence In Post-New Order Indonesia, Abdil Mughis Mudhoffir
Masyarakat: Jurnal Sosiologi
This paper tries to understand why religious violence increasingly occurs in post-New Order Indonesia. There are two dominant views in understanding this. First, the secu- rity approach that perceives the violence as a result of the emergent of “radical” agent of political Islam in the more open political space. In this regard, the state is considered weak because the iron hand as used by the authoritarian regime in the past New Order has disappeared. Thus, the strong security instruments are needed as a solution, such as the law on anti-terrorism and the police force of anti-terrorism (Densus 88). Second, the …

F. R. Leavis And Cultural Studies: From Leavis To Hoggart, And To Williams, Ruiqing Zhang
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The present paper aims to clarify the genetic historical relationships between F. R. Leavis's cultural criticism and the discipline of Cultural Studies. It attempts a general survey of Leavis's criticism on culture, connecting him with the early development of Cultural Studies represented by Richard Hoggart and Raymond Williams in the 1950s, and examines the complexity, contradictions and struggles in the transition from Leavis to Hoggrat and to Williams. Through an analysis of Leavis's cultural criticism, Hoggart's Uses of Literacy and Williams' Culture and Society, the paper delineates the internal relationships of intertextuality. The development of Cultural Studies has been a …

The Politics Of Civil Society Organizations (Csos) Post-Reformation 1998, Aditya Perdana
Masyarakat: Jurnal Sosiologi
After the reformation (reformasi) in 1998, some civil society organizations (CSOs) have en- dorsed policy changes from outside the government and have involved in many ministries’ assistance team to implement government’s development programs. These CSOs’ political action changes from outside to become inside the government are caused by the openness of political opportunity from political regime after Reformasi. Even though CSOs have used these political opportunities, these organizations faced seriously challenges in politi- cal field such as the fragmented of CSOs to endorse many policy reform and changes. In addition, there is lack of supporting changes in political culture structures …

However, the completion of disguised unemployment has been only focused on the improvement of the economic structural transformation from agriculture to industry as an aspect of macro analysis, without considering aspects of micro analysis. Though micro analysis through socioeconomic rationality farm households can solve problems underemployment get to the root of the problem, because the basic analysis departs from the social and economic rational behavior.
