Annotation:
This study investigates the critical issue in Wonder Woman (1984) in feminist perspective, by using Judith Butler’s (1990) theory of gender performativity. The movie explores the interconnectedness of feminine strength and vulnerability, traditional gender roles, and the theme of power and agency. Diana Prince’s journey reflects the societal pressure on women to embody both strength and emotional complexity, while Barbara Minerva’s transformation into Cheetah represents the internalization of masculine ideals of power. As the results: 1) The movie demonstrates that feminine strength and vulnerability can coexist, subverting the notion that power must align solely with masculine ideals. 2) Wonder Woman (1984) critiques traditional gender roles by showing how women’s autonomy is often constrained by societal expectations, particularly in relationships and social responsibilities. 3) The movie reveals a significant difference in how power and agency are explored between male and female characters, with male characters like Max Lord wielding unchecked power, while female characters must navigate moral and societal limitations. Through Butler’s framework, Wonder Woman 1984 critiques traditional gender norms, suggesting that true empowerment comes from redefining power and success beyond patriarchal structures. This article is expected to enhance feminist discourse in movie analysis by offering a more profound insight into how media portrayals of women both challenge and uphold societal standards. Hence, it enhances critical conversations around gender, power, and identity, encouraging further exploration of how movies can influence and reflect progressing perspectives on gender equality.

Introduction. Chemical toxicity in the U.S. affects approximately 40% of the nation's 80 million workers who are exposed to toxic chemicals on a full or part-time bases. In 1980, about 40% of this workforce was comprised of women of childbearing ages. Considering such figure of a large number of women exposed to chemical toxins, it is a wonder that we have not had an epidemic of birth defects and organ abnormalities. A study has pointed that about 40% to 50% of all conceptions are eliminated before week 20 of gestation by way of a safety mechanism which helps to reduce the number of birth defects Acetaminophen, considered the safest of all over-the-counter analgesics, has been reported to induce fatal liver necrosis in man and animals.

Annotation:
The stele from the harbour (‘la stèle du port’) of Thasos, SEG xlii.785, has been so named because it was dredged up from the small fishing harbour on 13 June, 1984. The inscription is of the greatest importance for Thasian epigraphy and dialect as well as for its contents, and has been amply published by H. Duchêne. While the stele of Thasian marble is preserved complete, the inscribed surface has suffered much from the effects of its immersion in the sea. The lower part is well preserved, and from line 42 to the end (49) there is no problem in reading the letters on the stone. Above that, it is a very different matter; some parts seem irretrievably lost, and much of the preserved lettering consists of faint traces only. My own examination of the stone confirmed that we can have complete confidence in Duchêne's facsimile. He and those who helped him have achieved wonders of skilful decipherment on this difficult text. Unless fancy new technology may one day offer better ways of recovering the letters on the stone, it seems unlikely that the readings published by Duchêne could be improved.

I am interested in the possibilities of redressing the absence of feminine subjectivity in the discourses surrounding Iris Murdoch’s philosophical and fictional writing. @cartography_for_girls is an Instagram account set up to share some of the expressions of feminine subjectivity sourced from within Murdoch’s 26 novels, originally published between 1954 and 1995. Murdoch’s incorporation of her particular metaphysical thinking into the reflections, deliberations and doubts of her fictional women characters made me wonder how these philosophically loaded impressions might fare on the affect- and information-driven social networking platform Instagram. ‘I think I’m happy, she thought, but am I real?’, for example, is an interior thought that resonates in ways more than metaphysical against the backdrop of Web 2.0, and is one of 100 posts shared daily from 21 October 2017 to 23 January 2018.

While SF often evokes in its readers a proverbial “sense of wonder,” it also works to “domesticate” narrative elements which, in different generic contexts, would be considered fantastic. In this essay, I examine the domestication of the figure of the vampire through its introduction into SF narratives. I analyze two texts in particular: Colin Wilson’s The Space Vampires (1976) and Jody Scott’s I, Vampire (1984). Each, in its own way, is a rewriting, and thus, to some extent, a parody, of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. However, it is interesting to note the degree to which the compliance of The Space Vampires with the genre conventions of SF serves to consolidate a conservative textual ideology, while the more playful rejection of the boundories between SF and fantasy in I, Vampire both derives from and results in a more radical ideological coloration. It seems to me that Wilson’s treatment of the vampire as alien/Other closely parallels Stoker’s original treatment in Dracula, while Scott’s feminist revision not only undertakes a generic subversion, but also undermines the conventional human/alien opposition. The recent resurgence of vampire fiction, much of it by women writers, has produced some intriguing re-presentations of the vampire as Outsider which function as critiques of the marginalizations effected by patriarchal representations.

This paper focuses on ordination procedures specific to women in Chinese Buddhism, and on the positions adopted by bhikṣuṇīs regarding the procedures’ asymmetrical nature in contemporary China. Dual ordinations, according to which aspiring bhikṣuṇīs must present themselves in front of both an assembly of fully ordained nuns and of monks in order to be “properly” ordained, were restored by Longlian (隆莲 1909–2006) in 1982. Śikṣamāṇā ordinations, which postulate that women should train for an additional two years before receiving full ordination when their male counterparts do not have to, have also become increasingly common since the 1980s. Based on fieldwork conducted between 2015 and today, both on-site and online, this paper asks whether asymmetry should be considered similar to subordination with regard to ordination procedures. It looks into Rurui’s (如瑞, 1957–) position on the matter, as Longlian’s student and one of the most influential bhikṣuṇī of her generation. While recent survey data will be useful in addressing the issue of representation, qualitative data will question the role of vertical networks in perpetuating a teacher’s legacy, ultimately leaving us to wonder if asymmetry might not be actively sought after by contemporary Chinese Buddhist bhikṣuṇīs in order to improve their status.

"The right shading for the god, the right shading for the gnon:e." Light imagery becomes for Willa Cather an effective device for revealing and enhancing the personalities, qualities, and moods of her characters. Light imagery operates in seemingly limitless ways to make her characters come to life within the novels. It is as if, like a painter, she realized the absolute necessity of light for creating the emotional dimension in her characters, for, as Ralph Evans (1984) observes, "if a picture is painted purely in its local colours without regard to light and shade and the characteristic qualities of shadow, it will tend to lie flat on the canvas without life and form» (Evans: 311). Some of Willa Cather's characters reveal only a keen sensitivity to light, but many are so frequently associated with light imagery that they seem to flare off the page with life. Willa Cather believed that characterization is what the novelist should . be most concerned with. The subject ·of art should be humanity, and it should express the artist's wonder of man. "His business is to make men and women and breathe into then1 until they become living souls , . ,'' (1he Kingdom qf Art: 48).

Annotation:
The thesis examines how users of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) negotiate feminism in their reviews of four superheroine films – Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Birds of Prey: The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, and Wonder Woman 1984. By combining critical discourse analysis with methods of corpus linguists, this corpus-based study of over 18,000 reviews analyses the frequency of the topic of feminism in the reviews, words and topics associated with it and the way the reviewers reflect broader mediated discourse over the four films, and the role of IMDb as a space for these reviews. The findings show that feminism is still understood as an anti-male movement where female-led films are shielded from criticism by the mainstream media by the virtue of the lead’s gender, the superheroines are criticised for being overpowered particularly where they have no equal male supporting character and that perceived feminist messaging is usually written off as a forced political agenda or as an insincere cash grab made by corporates which effectively use feminism for promotion. It also reveals IMDb as a highly polarised platform where the users leaving 1- and 10-star reviews are generalized as representatives of different sides of the political spectrum (antifeminist vs feminist, conservative vs liberal) regardless of the actual content of the review.

Annotation:
Though Pérez’s 1987 relaunch of Wonder Woman is often singled out for its attention to gender, this chapter presents a concern regarding gender and its representation as present and evolving over the course of Pérez’s career. From his early work, which depicted male and female bodies with a generic roundness and similarity, Pérez became more conscious about distinguishing the bodies of his characters, starting with his work in New Teen Titans. With Wonder Woman, Pérez sought to elevate her within DC’s pantheon of heroes, largely eschewing the trite romantic plots and overt sexualization that prevailed before and after his run. Gender and its representation remain a constant concern in the later stages of Pérez’s career, persisting even during his most difficult times as an artist, manifesting throughout his return to Avengers beginning in 1998, and being the centerpiece of his final work, Sirens from Boom! Studios.

Joan Ormrod begins the section with “Body Issues in Wonder Woman 90-100 (1994-1995): Good Girls, Bad Girls, Macho Men.” In an era that saw the emergence of violent, silicone-breasted, wasp-waisted bad girls, D.C.’s Wonder Woman’s sales dropped. In response, Diana/Wonder Woman was reconceptualized to fit the new mold. Study of this shift to elongated, muscular bodies in fetishized clothing and soft-core porn poses, argues Ormrod, is productively achieved through application and critique of Laura Mulvey’s concept of the male gaze. Then, positing an alternative model based on Turner’s notion of the “somatic society,” Ormrod reads the superhuman body as a metaphor for the body within wider culture, offering a historically contextualized commentary on women’s changing place in society in the 1990s.

Whenever I describe the IVCF to non-Christian academic peers, they almost invariably express their astonishment at the fact that at virtually every IVCF event I attend, approximately 70% of the participants are women. Perhaps this level of involvement is not unusual in the world of contemporary Protestantism; after all, in many of the churches IVCF members attend every Sunday, women outnumber men. However, the proportion of women to men is not as high in evangelical churches as it is in the IVCF (Bibby 1987:102; Rawlyk 1996:143). As well, women’s roles are usually much more tightly controlled in many if not most evangelical churches than they are in the IVCF. In fact, IVCF participants who attend churches in the Fellowship Baptist, Christian Reformed, and Brethren traditions may never see a woman in the pulpit, or, if women are allowed to speak at the front of the church, they are not usually permitted to become senior pastors or interpret the Bible. At the IVCF functions I have attended, however, women are in no way restricted in their abilities to lead worship, deliver sermons, organize events, or perform any of the myriad tasks involved in maintaining the group. In fact, the chapter’s paid staff worker is a woman, and she tries to ensure that the position of president alternates between a male and a female student every other year. I began to wonder how to make sense of the high level of female participation at every McMaster IVCF event I attended, especially in light of the fact that the scholarly literature on evangelicalism in North America often depicts the tradition as inimical or opposed to the egalitarian or feminist values that are so prevalent at universities. During my research, I found that many, but not all, of the evangelical women I interviewed maintain nonegalitarian views on the role of women. In other words, the common academic depiction of the place of women in evangelicalism seems to be confirmed by my experience, even though I hope to nuance this portrayal somewhat.

Abstract During the 1940s, several writers were working on anti-antisemitism novels. Between 1944 and 1946, as she drafted Agreement, Hobson discovered that she was part of such a group, including Margaret Halsey, Jo Sinclair, and Gwethalyn Graham. So were Arthur Miller (Focus, 1945) and Saul Bellow (The Victim, 1947). But it was a small group of women writers who made the genre popular in the 1940s. Their middlebrow fiction received attention from the popular press, and in some cases, consideration for film treatment. Hobson did not know all her fellow anti-antisemitism novelists, personally. But, even in 1944, she understood the significance of their work. At a time when many Americans wondered what they could possibly do to fight bigotry and racism, anti-antisemitism novelists grasped an inspiring truth: popular stories sparked reflection and conversation among readers.

This chapter focuses on the story “Common-law Wife,” written by Kim Lân. The story describes how a man named Tràng took his new wife home to his village, amid the darkness of hunger and starvation. When Tràng's mother met his wife, tears ran down from her blurry eyes, and she wondered if they would have enough food to eat during the hard, dull days. Mrs. Tứ thought that the young woman must be so desperate and starving that she had to marry her son. Nevertheless, Mrs. Tứ welcomed her daughter-in-law and felt compassion and pity for her. The next morning, they heard the drumbeats coming from the village's communal house, signaling the tax collection.

Reatha Clark King is a woman who began life in rural Georgia and rose to become a chemist, a college president, and vice president of a major corporate foundation. Reatha Belle Clark was born in Pavo, Georgia, on April 11, 1938, the second of three daughters born to Willie and Ola Watts Clark Campbell. Her mother Ola had a third grade education and her father Willie was illiterate. Her families were sharecroppers in Pavo. Her mother and grandmother raised her in Moultrie, Georgia, after her parents separated when she was young. She and her sisters worked long hours in the cotton and tobacco field during the summer to raise money. She could pick 200 pounds of cotton a day and earn $6.00, which was more than her mother’s salary as a maid. 1 In the 1940s in the rural segregated South, the only career aspirations for young black girls were to become a hairdresser, a teacher, or a nurse. Reatha started school at the age of four in the one-room schoolhouse at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Still more than a decade before Brown v. Board of Education , Reatha’s schools were segregated. The teacher, Miss Florence Frazier, became Reatha’s first role model. Reatha said, “I never wondered if I could succeed in a subject. It was only a question of whether I wanted to study the subject.” She later attended the segregated Moutrie High School for Negro Youth. Despite missing much school to attend to fieldwork, Reatha maintained her studies. She graduated in 1954 as the valedictorian of her class. Reatha received a scholarship to enter Clark College in September 1954, originally planning to major in home economics and teach in her local high school. These plans changed after her first chemistry course with Alfred Spriggs, the chemistry professor. He encouraged her to major in chemistry and go to graduate school. She found that chemistry was the perfect major for her. She says, “Both the subject matter and methodology were interesting and challenging; the laboratory and lecture sessions were exciting; and my fellow students in chemistry were both serious students and fun to work with.”

Abstract By now the reader may have gathered that Tamil initiatory and ritual experiences mostly serve to dissociate people from social and personal identities. We have had ample warrant for such an impression. The camis visions of the goddess led them to withdraw from mainstream society and their families. Many of them, in turn, were quick to prescribe “funerals ” of debilitating relationships for their clientele. While the ultimate objective of exorcisms may be seen to reunite “possessed ” women with their husbands, these reconciliations actually entailed suppressing or “beheading ” an inner personality. And while possession by one’s untimely dead does not call for any kind of “removal. ” this is because a more finite separationdeath-has already happened. No wonder it can appear that Tamil religious practices lean toward effecting what Luc de Heusch calls “disjunctions ” (1981). But this is only one side of the Tamil cosmological picture and its mechanisms and motivations. Its other “face ” is expressed through rituals that incorporate participants into a generational sequence and network of forebears, descendants, and relatives. This body of “conjunctive ” rites stands in isomorphic opposition to diagnostic seances, “removals, ” and exorcisms. A mirrored symbolic vocabulary and identical patterning of actions here are employed to forge a continuity of experience and identity instead of the reverse. Yet, at every crucial step the overlaps and repetitions in these ritual processes are consistent with my deeper conclusion that, above all, Tamil religion works to transform the “inner ” self. The difference is that whereas disjunctive practices objectify the “healthy ” person as separated from unrelated others (be they “commanding ” or alien personalities) conjunctive rituals “prescribe ” mingling or even expanding the self into other connected selves. Before entering this new world of ritual transactions, I might set the tone for the chapters to come by recounting one more diagnostic seance by a recruit of the goddess-a seance of some contrast to those we have witnessed before. It was performed by one of those specialists who could “see ” and embody the spirits of her clients’ dead relatives.1 While this female practitioner did not actually carry out the “fruits ” she recommended.

It’s extremely interesting that you pick this up because I think the way in which we’re constructed as men and women is pretty violent. It’s active, it’s constant…. I remember reading about one of the early transsexuals who would say that it was very hard work being a girl, making sure that he did all of the right things… PN: The idea that a gendered identity takes work connects with some of the things Judith Butler has been writing about recently. She talks, for example, of gender as something ‘tenuously constituted in time’ through ‘a stylized repetition of acts’. LT: Absolutely. I wonder if she also read people like Garfinkel, Sacks, and Goffman. Because that was their point, that this wasn’t something simple, that doing gender was hard work. PN: Perhaps this is where we get some sort of connection between gender and being haunted by memories which come from somewhere else? I mean it’s your mother being feminine that you remember. Similarly, in The Madame Realism Complex, ‘Paige suffers mainly from reminiscences’, a phrase which refers us directly to Freud on hysteria. How did this psychoanalytic theme develop in your thinking? LT: I came to Freud because a number of people in my extended family were being analysed in the fifties. Later, when I went to college in the mid-sixties I saw a psychotherapist who was a Freudian, not an analyst but who was taught by Freudians. I think my first way in was through practice, and then I began reading some Freud and arguing with my male psychotherapist about penis envy. Reading Juliet Mitchell’s Psychoanalysis and Feminism was extremely important for me. And then there was film theory—Laura Mulvey, Peter Wollen, and others. PN: May I ask, in parenthesis, how you came upon the Madame Realism persona? Why ‘Realism’? LT: She’s not a persona. In 1983, I got a phone call from somebody asking me to contribute to a Surrealist magazine. I thought that that was idiotic, I thought people going around thinking they’re Surrealists is crazy. Then I began thinking about Meret Oppenheim whom I’d interviewed in Paris in ’73, then in New York in ’78.

The actor, John J. York, is quoted in the ABC house journal, Episodes, saying: “They didn’t want a strong dialect [sic] . . . . They didn’t want a Paul Hogan type, because that accent is too strong. They were saying ‘just a hint’” (Kump 1991: 29). The Australian is more “exotic” than Peter Pinne may have wished: too exotic. Just the accent, though, if muted, can have an appealing otherness. The second index of the acceptability of the non-American, again Australian, has yet to be tested on the American market place. Called Paradise Beach, it is not a ready-made Australian soap seeking overseas sales, but a co-production between the Australian-based Village Roadshow, Australia’s Channel 9, and the American New World Entertainment, which has secured pre-sales to the CBS network at 7:30 p.m. week-nights (beginning June 14, 1993) and Britain’s Sky Channel as well as in nine other territories worldwide (Gill 1993; Chester 1993; Shohet 1993). As an Australian-based soap directed primarily at a teen audience, it recalls Neighbours and Home and Away. As a youth drama serial set in a beach tourism center, it recalls Baywatch and summer holiday editions of Beverly Hills 90210. And like Melrose Place and the Australian E Street, each episode includes what one report breathily calls “an MTV moment . . . a two-minute montage of sleek shots of beautiful bodies and plenty of sun, surf and sand set to the latest pop music hit” (Shohet 1993: 5). Set in and around Surfers Paradise on Queensland’s Gold Coast, it recalls, for Australian viewers, the 1983 film, Coolangatta Gold, which celebrates Australian beach culture (see Crofts 1990). It is noteworthy indeed that most of the performers are recuited from a model agency, not an actor’s agency. An American actor, Matt Lattanzi, plays an American photographer, and Australian actor, Tiffany Lamb, sports an American accent. There is a concern, understandable in a program sold overseas, to make Australian colloquialisms comprehensible (Gill 1993: 2). In terms of physical geography, the locations are Australian; in terms of cultural geography, Queensland’s Gold Coast is substantially indistinguishable from much of Florida and parts of California and Hawaii. The era of the co-production re-poses the question of the degree of acceptability of non-American material in the American market-place by begging the question of the distinguishability of the two. But given the unequal cultural exchange long obtaining between Australia and the US, with shows like Mission: Impossible being filmed in Australia to take advantage of cheap labor; given the tight money of Paradise Beach’s shooting schedule of 2.5 hours of soap per week; and given New World’s Head’s, James McNamara, ignorance of Australian soaps (“Paradise Beach is the first soap to be skewed at a teen audience” (quoted by Gill 1993: 2)), one might wonder which party is defining the."
