A Burlesque: The Shimmering Body Of Revealing, Lola Montgomery

Staff Scholarship - Australia & Dubai

A Burlesque: The Shimmer Manuscript is a hybrid critical–creative work that examines burlesque as an embodied methodology and a mode of knowledge production. Drawing from my two decades as a performer–scholar, the work reframes glamour, desire, and adornment as epistemological practices rather than theatrical ornamentation. The project is significant in that it expands understandings of performance studies, autotheory, and feminist aesthetics by foregrounding the performer’s body as an intelligent, sensing, world-making apparatus.

The methodology is creative practice research and archive-driven, integrating backstage documentation, AI-assisted photomontage, and theoretical reflection. The work draws from poststructuralist and feminist frameworks (Irigaray, Deleuze & Guattari, …

Multikultura

The phenomenon of the #MeToo and #BalanceTonPorc hashtags became the focus of attention in various parts of the world in 2017. It was first popularized by Alyssa Milano on her Twitter account using the #MeToo hashtag, and later followed by Sandra Muller with #BalanceTonPorc in France.

La Lutte Pour Les Droits Des Femmes Africaines: Le Womanisme Dans Taafe Fanga, Elizabeth Davis

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

Dans cette thèse, j'analyserai le film Taafe Fanga (Pouvoir de Pagne en français), un film de 1997 du Mali, réalisé par Adama Drabo. Le film suit l'histoire du village de Yanda où des femmes, avec l'aide d'un masque qui invoque la peur dans des hommes, changent des rôles de genre, leur permettent de prendre le rôle masculin et dominant et mettent des hommes dans les rôles que les femmes tenaient avant. J'examinerai ce film d'un angle womaniste. J’affirme que, bien que les femmes dans le film d'Adama Drabo qui s'appelle Taafe Fanga luttent pour les droits des femmes, ce n'est …

La Puissance Douce Française Manifestée Par Les Politiques Linguistiques En Afrique, Barbara O. Olewska

Global Tides

Du premier étape des colonisateurs français sur la terre africaine jusqu’à le français étant l’une des langues primaires en Afrique, les français avait eu une influence en Afrique. Pour comprendre comment les politiques linguistiques agissent comme une passerelle de l'implémentation de la puissance douce française en Afrique, nous explorons les politiques linguistiques et systèmes d’éducation en Côte d’Ivoire, au Sénégal, et au Burkina Faso. La littérature décrit comment le français est la langue d'administration dans ces trois pays, donc il est valorisé sur les langues locales. La présence intense du français permet à la France d’employer la puissance douce en …

Painting The Other: Mary Cassatt's Spanish Portraits And The Feminine Gaze, Delaney Batter

Undergraduate Theses in Art History

The historical viewing of women artists, in conjunction with Mary Cassatt’s biography and later depictions of women and children, suggests that Cassatt's gender is identified within the art historical canon as an essential component to the interpretation of her work. The language attached to Cassatt's work is most often taken from discourses surrounding female-produced artwork of the nineteenth century, attaching passive and stereotypically feminine attributes like 'delicate,' 'light,' and 'tender' to the style, composition, and subjects of her works. These characteristics were among the accepted nineteenth-century descriptions of artworks, with inherent femininity translating to inherent domesticity.

Rather than further reducing …
