Penny, Sarah. "Sangoma Boy." Thesis, Brunel University, 2017. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/16048.

Abstract:
'Sangoma Boy' is the first book in an intended four-book series. The series is about three children who are brought together because of their parents' romantic involvement and who, by the end of the first book, come to identify themselves as 'The Bundu Bashers'. The idea for the Bundu Bashers series came to me when I was visiting at my parents' house in Cape Town, South Africa, in January, 2008. I had a newborn daughter who had to be breastfed every three hours as well as a ferociously jealous toddler son in tow, so my movements were pretty limited. It was a little difficult to go out to see childhood friends but lots of people dropped by to say hello and share a 'braai' (or barbecue) which is what you do just about every evening in the South African summer. One evening, one of these informal braai parties included Julia Raynham, my mother's goddaughter. I offered her some meat from the braai and she said yes, but not mutton because she was a sangoma now and there was a restriction on eating mutton. To say I was astonished is an understatement. A sangoma is a traditional African healer and diviner, versed in the arcana of plant medicine and spirit intercession. But Julia? My mother's goddaughter, no less? She was a whitey, just like me. We used to dive spoons together out of her parents' vast and twinkling swimming pool under the oak trees, in our walled-off privileged white childhood during apartheid. How could she possibly be a sangoma? Admittedly I'd been a bit busy in England with starting a career and squeezing out the babies, but the last time I saw Julia she was a keyboardist in a popular lounge band, The Honeymoon Suites, we used to go and bop to on Friday nights. I knew that she had been ill and I knew her long-term relationship had ended. But a sangoma? After a lengthy talk that night I understood a little better what Julia had been through since I saw her last. One doesn't chose to become a sangoma - one gets chosen. The first signs of being chosen are not pleasant, and usually include illness or affliction. With Julia, it was an onset of numbness in her legs, followed by a host of other complaints. Whilst in the grip of the illness, the sufferer sometimes has a vision, where they will be told to go to a certain house or place, or sometimes they just unexpectedly come into contact with a sangoma. Julia dreamt she needed to go to an art gallery in Johannesburg. At this stage she knew nothing about sangomas but the dream was so compelling that she did visit the gallery. At the gallery, a black cleaner put down her bucket and mop, walked over to Julia and asked her if she had been unwell recently, and experiencing peculiar dreams. This is the beginning of 'ukuthwasa' - the long period of training before the 'thwasa' (the initiate) emerges as a diviner. I mulled the whole thing over in the long night that followed while I was up feeding my daughter. So white people could be 'thwasana' now? That got me thinking. What if you were a person who was mixed-race, both white and black, with roots in Africa but living in England? And you experienced the calling? No wait, what if you were a child? In England? No, in Finchley specifically. Because we'd moved to leafy Finchley from gritty Hornsey, a year and a half before on account of my son. The children of Finchley were all over the place all the time. I could watch them and see what they did. And propped up there in the pillows of the bed with my little girl, I had a William Goyen moment. I'd never written a children's novel before. I didn't know if I could. But I knew I was due back at work in a few months. At that point I'd get the baby on a bottle, I'd hire a nanny, and I'd start stealing whatever bits of time I could to write. I had an adult novel to finish but as soon as that was off to the publishers, my whole attention for years to come was going to turn to this young boy in Finchley and exactly what happened to him.

Abstract:
‘Horse Boy’ outlines the theoretical and contextual framings of a series performance based video works exploring a personal working relationship with animals, predominantly horses. These performances develop into durational exercises where the power balance between human and animal is tested and examined. Notions of catharsis and the sublime are investigated to frame the experience and analysis of these performances for both the participants and observers. ‘Horse Boy’ examines the complexities of the role of animals in art, reflecting on the practice of contemporary artists who employ animals as either participants or symbols in their own work. The resolved artwork lends itself to future research that further subverts the power relationship between human and animal within artistic performances by approaching such work as a collaborative practice between the human and animal.

Wesley McNair said that poets, more than others, are troubled by the transience of life, and they write poems to preserve the experience—to say, “I was here, and my being here meant something.” Lucky Boy is a collection informed by experience—childhood trauma, limitations of place and circumstance, the messy transition from boyhood to manhood.

Abstract:
The globalization process has been providing new arrangements to identity issues on its role as a model to interpret the relations between the global and the local in current times. From this prospect, this project’s purpose approaches the construction of the rap made in Brazil as an artistic project of resistance to an hierarchical power and prestige system as well as a musical component integrated to the global flux of products, ideas and styles, therefore, as a cultural and marketable language. The project’s challenge is to study the dissemination of Brazilian National Rap in its variety of meanings: its social impact as lyrical politics about social interaction and day by day relations as a means of cultural context as a merchandise. This project’s goal is an effort to rebuild the symbolic system of meanings which is passed on by this message to the specific public, young consumers of this artistic and musical type, in São Paulo city, who are denomined and use to call themselves ‘manos’ and ‘boys’, trying to highlight the uniqueness behind this process. This project helps to set up supporting ideas towards a renovation of social issues as well as a reevaluation of current ideas on Brazilian youth.
Em tempos atuais o processo de globalização vem fornecendo novas configurações identitárias levando como modelo de análise na interpretação das relações entre o global/local. Partindo deste pressuposto, o objetivo desse projeto situa-se em abordar a construção do rap produzido no Brasil enquanto projeto artístico de resistência ao sistema hierárquico de poder e prestígio, como componente musical integrado no fluxo global de produtos, idéias, estilos, ou seja, enquanto linguagem cultural e consumível. Trata-se precisamente de estudar a disseminação do Rap Nacional (seu impacto social, no papel da política lírica de um discurso politizado em torno da interação social e da organização do cotidiano) enquanto meio de produção cultural, objeto de consumo imerso no contexto da cultura hip-hop. Diante disso, fica proposto para a presente pesquisa reconstruir o sistema de significações simbólicas que a mensagem produz, caracterizando pela capacidade de reflexão crítica à ordem social, articulada pelos jovens consumidores desse gênero artístico musical, na cidade de São Paulo, que são denominados por “manos” e por “boys”, tentando apanhar a singularidade que há por trás desse processo. O presente trabalho ajuda a estabelecer pontos de apoio para a renovação tanto das questões sociais numa reavaliação da visão conformista e atomizada, idéias correntes quando o assunto é juventude brasileira.

Abstract:
Abstract N’Awlins Po Boy draws heavily on the author’s memories and recollections of growing up in the New Orleans of the 1940s and 1950s, but it is a work of fiction. Although the settings and scenes are rendered as accurately as memory allows, the circumstances, situations and people are entirely fictional. During the immediate post-WWII decade, the city went through a rapid series of changes, some calm and nearly unnoticed, others turbulent and upsetting to the natural order that had prevailed for more than two centuries. This is an account of those changes as they might have been seen through the eyes of a pre-teen boy.

Full text
Abstract:
Queer Youth, or young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning, is a demographic with an increasing presence in contemporary society. Along with this increased presence has come an increase in support groups available to these youths that range from Gay-Straight Alliances at their schools, community groups from their local gay and lesbian center to, most recently, theater companies that have begun to offer workshops and performance opportunities within the Queer Youth Theatre genre. Queer Youth Theatre is an emerging form of topical theatre that deals with issues and situations queer youth may face in their daily lives. Few scripts exist that deal with topics related to LGBT youth, and most theatre groups that offer LGBT youth programs, such as the Pride Players from the Omaha Theater Company for Children and Young People in Omaha, Nebraska, rely on devising works for live performance. The Pride Players independently publish a “Best of” anthology for use by other groups wishing to use their devised material (Guehring2). Though these opportunities may be beneficial to the youths involved, there is still a need for scripted works to be available for queer youth to explore. This thesis project looks at two steps necessary to beginning the process of adapting LGBT young adult novels for the stage. First, an adaptation rubric must be created for use as a guide for identifying source material for translation to the stage. Second, the young adult novels Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan and Rainbow Boys by Alex Sanchez are evaluated for their strength as adaptations by applying the rubric with a directorial lens

Full text
Abstract:
The dissertation consists of a collection of personal essays about hunting and fishing. Because the essays are narratives and contain dialogue, characterization, description, themes, etc., they fall under the genre of creative nonfiction. The dissertation has two parts. Part I consists of an essay that discusses the author’s struggle to combine creative nonfiction with outdoor writing and also describes the author’s dilemma of writing about hunting, a topic that is often controversial at the university, while a graduate student. Part II of the dissertation consists of narratives that recount the author’s hunting and fishing experiences that occurred in North Texas and in the mountains of New Mexico. The essays discuss fishing for trout and hunting for deer, wild boars, quail, and duck. Three major themes are developed throughout the dissertation. The first theme describes the close relationship that exists between the author and his father. This closeness is partly due to the time that they have shared during decades of hunting and fishing together. The second theme discusses the ethics of hunting and especially focuses on which methods of hunting are ethical and which methods are not. The third theme explores the complex and sometimes unpleasant interactions that occur between sportsmen when they encounter each other while hunting and fishing. This theme explores the give and take attitude that must exist in order for sportsmen to get along. This attitude is necessary because no two outdoorsmen view the outdoors and hunting and fishing in quite the same way.

Abstract:
In this paper, I interrogate dominant media paradigms that discuss non-human animals, such as photography and documentary, and provide alternative modes of creating this work. Focusing on my relationship with my dog, Bear, I collaborated with him referencing the alternative methods to representation to create a series our thesis show, “A Dog and His Boy.” By opening up our relationship, I hope to inspire people to think about non-human animals, specifically dogs, more critically, and what their relationships with them are. The process of collaborating with Bear, someone of another species, only strengthened our bond, but also taught me much about how a dog senses their world, and how they think.

Abstract:
In this work, I will try to provide an insightful and accessible analysis of Funny Boy, a coming-of-age novel by Sri Lankan Canadian author Shyam Selvadurai. I will provide a brief biography of the author and a concise outline of the historical context. Subsequently, after discussing the novel's structure and its main characteristics, I will proceed to analyze the significance of the novel's title and the role played by ethnicity and sexuality as equivalent sources of alienation, both individually and through their combined agency. To that end, I will focus on what I consider to be the most salient episodes of the novel that, in my opinion, best exemplify the sense of alienation that any individual belonging to a minority group experiences at some point in their lives in mainstream society.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis uses a poststructuralist methodology and leads to a Foucauldian analysis of power, subjectivity and discursive practices for a group of twelve boys in a Year 3 and 4 classroom. The thesis is written in a poststructuralist way, and as such, it is experimental. It experiments with a writing style that encourages the critical engagement of the reader in deconstructing the text. The personal subjectivity of the author is placed in the foreground risking a vulnerability that is not apparent in theses generally. The thesis describes the structure and practicalities of research in a primary school classroom using a video camera to collect data. Transcripts were made from videotapes of a school day and interviews with the boys. These were analysed for the frequency of use of Foucault's "disciplinary techniques" using qualitative research software. Furthermore computer analysis assisted the extraction of "mini-narratives" from the transcripts. These "mini-narratives" are used to lead a description of the subjectivity of the boys and their positioning in the discourses of schooling and hegemonic masculinity. A picture emerges of a young male subjectivity caught up in the dilemmas of concurrent positioning in both schooling practices and hegemonic masculinity practices. It is proposed that boys often see their available positionings as limited by schooling discourse to "positive-female" or "negative-male". Hegemonic masculinity discourse limits available positioning to "positive male" or "negative-female". Positioning by the boys in these discourses is depicted as rapidly changing to the extent that inconsistencies and confusions arise for boys. The "mini-narratives" use the transcribed voices of the boys to tell of the challenges and practicalities of being a boy in a primary school. Recommendations are made that include moving beyond dualistic ways of subject positioning. The recommendations include ideas for teachers to involve themselves and their students in developing new ways of speaking about gender difference.

Smith, Susannah June. "The reading experience of young successful boy readers." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2004. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3534/.

Full text
Abstract:
In this study, the reading experience of six young successful boy readers is examined with a view to identifying ways in which the reading achievements of all boys might be raised. Initially, the experiences and behaviours associated with young successful readers are identified, including aspects from the home and the school, and those characteristics from within children themselves. Next, literature on boys' reading is examined, and this shows that there are many negative influences on the reading lives of boys generally. The reading experience of the six young successful boy readers is then investigated through empirical work. The central approach adopted is multiple case study using ethnographic tools. The six boys were reading fluently and for pleasure by the end of their Reception year (aged 5 years) and were studied for a two year period. Observation and research conversation were the main data collection methods adopted; the boys' experience as young successful readers was examined by observing them in their homes and schools, and by talking to them, their parents and their teachers. The results illustrate that the six young boys who are successful readers have a masculine identity in which reading has a secure and positive place. They have overcome the negative influences which frequently impact on the reading experience of boys and have successfully integrated ways of being a boy and being a reader. The boys' reading is highly developed at home by living in a 'reading family'. The boys use their advanced achievement in reading to gain a high status position in the classroom; their reading behaviour makes them popular and powerful with their peers. Hence these boys make reading work for them and, subsequently, it is a desirable feature of their developing masculine identity. These results are reflected upon to identify ways in which the reading achievements of all boys might be raised. I have suggested that schools might be encouraged to develop their reading curriculum in a number of ways, including spending more time reading extended texts for pleasure and using high status texts from boys' vernacular reading in the formal reading curriculum. In addition, I argue that all boys might benefit from examining the gender assumptions on which texts and their own reading preferences are based.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper focuses on the construction of traumatized self in the poems of Richard Siken presented in Crush (2005). First, the analytical approach is formed by taking a look at the historical continuum of queer death and theorizing the link between homophobia and tragic outlook on life through topics of violence and hierarchic reality of men. The discussion about the difference between heterosexist and queer representative narration of death is touched on. After the analytical basis is examined, the poems are interpreted within the frameworks of violence and loss of agency; the two topics are identified as the main building blocks of the traumatized self in this particular research paper. The object of analysis is mainly the multilayered subject that is present in the poems. The final part of the analysis focuses on overcoming trauma; and, eventually, what the overcoming means in the larger framework of queer literature and representation of homophobia.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to provide a simple user interface with which everyone can

design his/her own game, and play it on Game Boy Advance console. This project helps

people develop games without having programming knowledge. Everything is done by means of a user interface and without any programming knowledge. It is magic, isn’t it?

Game Boy Advance is a game console developed by Nintendo. In order to market their

products, they must also develop games running on their products. Every time they develop a game for the Game Boy Advance console, they have to implement a low level C++ application over and over again. This makes things more complicated. However, if this software is used, everything becomes easier.

This project can be seen as an interpreter that interprets the designed game, which is

very high level, and converts it to a Game Boy Advance game. If this project is finished

successfully, game design for Game Boy Advance will experience a revolution in its history.

In brief, it is required to develop a visual, GUI‐based system that allows people to develop games for the Game Boy Advance console. This GUI system is required to

implement and use the API (Game Engine) developed by Lypson.

Abstract:

This work explores the limiting beliefs that modern American man is surrounded by that create suffering and isolation for him. Utilizing heuristic and hermeneutic methodologies, this thesis leans into the primary feelings of anger, guilt, and shame typically expressed by American males. It examines how these feelings came to the forefront of his expressions and how he can allow himself to find ways to safely express the other feelings repressed inside him. Just as the blind man when given a matzo turned it over and over, examining it with his fingers and exclaiming “who wrote this?”, this thesis suggests new interpretations regarding how males express themselves. Through awareness of the value of rituals and metaphors, this natural language of men can serve as a beginning toward his feeling safe in expressing his repressed feelings. This thesis tempts the reader to see beyond the mask of the American male

Building upon the discourse of Hadrian’s “Greekness” and sexuality in connection to the amount of images of Antinoös he had commissioned, this paper instead argues that the images of Antinoös were created in order to further a public and religious programme by Hadrian. I found support in both Mary Boatwright and Paul Zanker as they proposed those images for a public, civic, and religious audience as opposed to private patrons more inclined to luxury. The Delphi Antinoös is a well-documented example of numerous portraits of the youth, and it is this paper’s intention to depict the Pheidian inspiration sought after in the second century CE, at the time of Hadrian’s reign and Antinoös’s death, which illustrate the purpose of the images of Antinoös as religious and not as sexy. Hadrian’s public and religious policies, his tours across the empire, and the far-reaching distribution of images of Antinoös also contribute to the conclusion of the religious audience for the images of Antinoös.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the early development of the British boy detective in ‘penny dreadfuls’ and story papers from 1865-1940 and considers how the construction of this figure addresses contemporary social anxieties surrounding boyhood and performs an ideological function for boy readers. Chapter 1 focuses on how the representation of the boy detective in the ‘penny-dreadful’ The Boy Detective (1865-6) responds to anxieties about juvenile delinquency, particularly the perceived corrupting influence of ‘penny dreadfuls’ upon boy readers. Chapter 2 examines the first appearances of the adult professional detective’s boy assistant in the Harmsworths’ boys’ story papers of the 1890s and early twentieth century. Here, the representation of the detective’s assistant is linked to the emergence of anxieties surrounding adolescence. Chapter 3 explores the centralisation of the professional boy detective, as either assistant or independent investigator, in story-paper narratives in the first decade of the twentieth century. These texts are considered in relation to anxieties about the impending threat of war and boys’ future role in the defence of a declining British Empire. Chapter 4 explores the increasing restrictions placed upon the professional boy detective in the post-1910 story-paper narratives in which he is largely confined to the assistant role. I make connections between this subsidiary position and the supporting defence roles to which real-life boys were confined in preparation for and during the First World War. Chapter 5 focuses upon the fictional boy detective’s relocation from a professional, adult arena to an amateur, child-centric environment in schoolboy detective narratives. This transition is considered in relation to childhood’s increasing distinction from adulthood in the early twentieth century. Overall, the thesis considers the boy detective as a dual figure, acting simultaneously as a threat in need of containment and a boyhood role model and thus utilised as both an expression of and antidote to the contemporary adult anxieties about boyhood.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the imagery of the young John the Baptist in Renaissance art. The phenomenon of John’s juvenescence has been noted but insufficiently explored by previous scholarship. The present study reassesses the figure of the youthful Baptist by means of rigorous theological exegesis of biblical, apocryphal and late medieval textual sources and a thorough investigation of the visual corpus. Beginning with the mosaics of the Florentine Baptistery, a handful of narrative cycles locate the onset of John’s prophetic career in the desert at an ever-earlier point in his life. However, it was not until the mid-fifteenth century that the boy John was released from the confines of his own narrative to become an independent figure in devotional imagery. Innovative altarpieces by Filippo Lippi commissioned by the Medici family in the late 1450s and 60s are shown to be crucial in promoting and disseminating this new vision of Florence’s beloved patron saint. The thesis demonstrates the enormous popularity of the youthful Baptist in the following decades, first in Florence and subsequently elsewhere in Italy, and interrogates the significance of his presence as infant, boy and adolescent across a wide range of pictorial and sculptural representations. One of the most famous examples of the child John, Leonardo da Vinci’s “Virgin of the Rocks”, is recontextualised within this existing pictorial current, to show that this masterpiece is at once more traditional and more innovative in its treatment of subject matter than has hitherto been recognised. Key narrative moments, such as a meeting between Christ and John, and new ways of visualising the intimate bond between the two children formulated towards the end of the fifteenth century, including physical embraces and shared exposure of vulnerable infant flesh, are also investigated. Through such investigations, the thesis aims to advance understanding of the multiple and intersecting roles played by the boy Baptist in Renaissance art and devotion.

Abstract:
My study focuses on b-boying, the archetype of hiphop dance, to better understand the informal teaching and learning processes embodied in the freestyle or raw b-boy cipher (improvisational dance circle). I draw from an ethnographic approach to investigate how hiphop aesthetic practices influence people's ways of doing and habits of mind. In particular, participant observation structures my activities at 13 hiphop events. These observations are complemented by an in-depth interview with Buddha, co-founder of the Canadian Floor Masters, Canada's oldest b-boy dance crew. The theoretical framework uses Lave and Wenger's concept of situated learning in tandem with Nonaka's organizational theory of knowledge creation. By analyzing the cipher as a potential site for dancers to experience a conscious readiness to change I find that 1) situated learning and knowledge creation are closely related; 2) knowledge creation and hiphop practices are connected; 3) b-boy culture resembles an innovative knowledge community that shares personal knowledge to create and advance communal knowledge. The research approach I practice may help educators better understand how a neighbourhood activity created over 30 years ago by and for some South Bronx youth has developed into a global practice produced and consumed by many of today's youth and adults.
Mon étude porte sur le b-boying (break boy, danseur), archétype de la danse hip-hop, pour dégager l'enseignement et les procédés d'apprentissage informels inhérents aux cercles de danse improvisée – création libre (freestyle ou raw cipher). Ma méthodologie intègre certains aspects d'observation participante selon la trajectoire de recherche s'intéressant à l'influence des pratiques hip-hop sur les façons de faire et de penser. Ceci oriente mon observation participante de 13 événements et mon entrevue en profondeur avec Buddha, de la plus ancienne troupe de breaking du Canada, Canadian Floor Masters. Mon cadre théorique s'appuie sur l'apprentissage situé de Lave et Wenger, et la création du savoir de Nonaka. J'analyse le cercle de danse comme lieu permettant de s'ouvrir consciemment au changement, constatant que : 1) il existe une corrélation entre l'apprentissage situé et la création du savoir; 2) la création du savoir et les pratiques hip-hop sont interreliées; 3) la culture b-boy évoque une communauté de savoir novatrice partageant des connaissances personnelles pour générer et faire progresser un savoir collectif. Mon approche aiderait les éducateurs à mieux comprendre comment cette activité de quartier créée il y a trente ans, par et pour des jeunes du South Bronx, s'est transformée en pratique réalisée et consommée à l'échelle du globe par les jeunes et les adultes contemporains.

Abstract:
This study examines everyday practices (talk, play, curriculum) in Kindergarten that works with and against hetero/gender normativity. To conduct this research, I spent three months in a Kindergarten classroom in a Vancouver public school. In addition to conducting everyday observations, I facilitated focus groups with students and interviews with educators based on their experiences planning and taking part in curriculum for Valentine’s Day, Anti-Bullying/Pink Shirt Day, and Mother’s Day. This combination of data illustrated ways hetero/gender norms become institutionally routinized in Kindergarten regardless of progressive district school policies and the occasional special events that discourage homophobic bullying. Of critical importance to my analysis are discrepancies between discourse about what children are (e.g., innocent, masculine, feminine) and what children do within their play and social interactions. Such discourses neutralize heterosexuality and gender conformity as asexual, and hyper-sexualize queer and transgender subjectivities, rendering them “inappropriate” in Kindergarten. My research suggests that this normalizes the gender and sexual status quo while othering children who may not fit within these limited parameters. This dissertation contributes to educational and critical childhood studies that seek to understand the routes by which queer and transgender students are isolated and ostracized within public school social life.
