Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the embodiment of the sexed body and the struggle of fitting into the narrow frames of what a woman is supposed to behave and look like in Japanese cinema. Using the medium of film, I, therefore, seek to produce knowledge regarding the internalized gaze of the oppressor, and self-objectification, caused by the capitalist heteropatriarchy. Thus, I am drawing from cyborg feminism, and the second wave of sexual difference theory’s concept of becoming, expanded upon by the Italian-Australian philosopher Rosi Braidotti. I further use the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of masculine domination and the American philosopher Gayle Rubin’s charmed circle, in creating a theoretical framework, and using the methods of cultural and feminist film analysis to contextualize the films and locate the subjectification of the women. The movies that I will be analyzing are the Japanese director and poet Sion Sono’s Antiporno (アンチポルノ, 2016) and the Japanese director and photographer Mika Ninagawa’s Helter Skelter (ヘルタースケルター, 2012), which both center around two women and their struggle in becoming-cyborg, in relation to power, trauma, sexuality, technology, and beauty ideals in ‘modernized’ Japan. In that sense, I will study the phenomenon of operating outside the lines of social norms of femininity and desire.

Bailey, Tamba-Kuii Masai. "Construct Validation of the Interalized Racial Oppression Scale." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2008. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/cps_diss/32.
Full textAbstract:
Racism has been identified as a profoundly traumatic and a psychologically damaging experience affecting Black people (Harrell, 2000; White & Parham, 1990; Williams & Williams-Morris, 2000). It has been theorized that one of the most devastating effects racial oppression (i.e. racism and discrimination) is the internalization of that oppression (Bailey, Chung, Williams, & Singh, 2006; Speight, 2007). Speight (2007) argued that an understanding of racism would be incomplete without considering how it is internalized. Internalized racial oppression is the process through which Black people consciously and unconsciously internalize and accept the dominant White culture’s oppressive actions and beliefs towards Black people, while at the same time rejecting an African worldview and cultural motifs (Bailey, Chung, Williams, & Singh, 2006). Internalized racial oppression is believed to adversely affect the psychological health of Black people. This study examined the construct validity of the Internalized Racial Oppression Scale (IROS; Bailey et al., 2006) through the use of confirmatory factor analysis and social desirability. Additionally, this study investigated internalized racial oppression as a predictor of the endogenous factors of Psychological Distress, Psychological Well-Being, Personal Self-Esteem, Collective Self-esteem, and Life Satisfaction through the use of latent variable path analysis. It was hypothesized that, similar to racial oppression; greater levels of internalized racial oppression will predict greater psychological distress, lower psychological well-being, lower personal self-esteem, lower collective self-esteem, and lower satisfaction with life among Black college students. Three hundred seventy Black students (Cohort 1 = 102, Cohort 2 = 268) participated in this study. Cohort 1 consisted of students recruited from a predominately White university in the Southeastern region of the United States. Cohort 2 consisted of a national sample of students. Participants from Cohort 1 completed a pencil and paper survey, while the participants from Cohort 2 completed a survey via online. The results supported the factorial structure of the IROS. Further, the results found that the IROS was a predictor of psychological distress, psychological well-being, collective self-esteem, and satisfaction with life. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Harper, Julie. ""Divided we fall, United we stand: Internalized oppression and its affects on Community Development within Aboriginal communities"." School of Native Human Services, 2003. http://142.51.24.159/dspace/handle/10219/406.
Full textAbstract:
Community development starts with community healing.
This is not a new idea, but one that is needed in order for Native and non-Native communities to
peacefully co-exist within Canada. In order to initiate developing new initiatives in a
community, that particular community must be ready for new initiatives to be developed. Some
communities are not at that level because of factors related to alcohol and drug abuse. Some
communities are not yet capable of fully understanding the concepts of "community development"
and "community healing." Many people, both Native and non-Native, ask these questions: "Why
can't things change in Canada for Native people? Why can't 'they' (meaning Natives)
get anything done within their communities? This paper explores these questions. The hypothesis
is that, in order to get anything done, whether it is political, social, economical or personal,
within this country, Aboriginal people need to stand together as a nation, not just merely
independent communities, reserves or cultures. There are theories explaining how people can
heal and come together to work towards one common purpose. The ones that will be discussed
here are Empowerment Theory, Aboriginal Theory, Community Development Theory and the National
Coalition Building Institute Theory. These theories have their strengths and weaknesses
when it comes to community development, but
98
how they deal with the internalized oppression that holds people back from their
full potential as human beings is a common theme in all of them.

Allen, Keyona. "Critical Consciousness, Racial Identity, and Appropriated Racial Oppression in Black Emerging Adults." VCU Scholars Compass, 2018. https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/5687.
Full textAbstract:
The present study explored private regard and public regard, two subcomponents of racial identity, as mediators of the association between critical consciousness and appropriated racial oppression. In a sample of 75 Black emerging adults, ages 18-25, the current study examined (1) the relationships between critical consciousness, racial identity, and appropriated racial oppression and (2) whether racial identity mediates the relationship between critical consciousness and appropriated racial oppression. Relationships in the expected direction were evident between private regard and both critical consciousness and appropriated racial oppression. Relationships in the expected direction were evident between public regard and critical consciousness. Further, mediation analyses indicated that the relationship between critical consciousness and appropriated racial oppression was mediated by private regard. These findings indicate how critical consciousness and private regard may play a significant role in influencing appropriated racial oppression in Black emerging adults.

Full textAbstract:
AAMSM (African American men who have sex with men) endure homophobia and racism in their political realities because of their identity. How do multiple oppressions impact the experiences of AAMSM participating within Black churches? Despite the Black church's legacy for liberating African Americans, AAMSM feel demonized and alienated while enduring religion-based homophobia espoused within many Black churches. In the church, AAMSM are pushed further down the hierarchy of oppression and privilege. In response to these observations, this thesis employs a sexual discourse of resistance. I engage this discourse with a literature review in order to discover links between homophobia and AAMSM in an interdisciplinary manner. Jungian psychology is then utilized to interpret internalized oppression. This leads to a discussion of social and religious justice for AAMSM in the Black church through the lens of liberation theology. While the oppressed have become oppressors within the Black church as regards AAMSM, liberation theology affirms all of humanity. Liberation theology provides a message of love for AAMSM and a source of Christian ethics for the Black church.B.A.

Williams, Teeomm K. "Understanding internalized oppression: A theoretical conceptualization of internalized subordination." 2012. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations/AAI3546059.
Full textAbstract:
Internalized oppression is one of the conceptual foundations of social justice education. Though the literature on internalized oppression is rich with descriptive data, little theory has been developed in this area. To date, the field of Social Justice Education has been limited by this oversight. Drawing upon the work of theorists who have examined this topic across a variety of social identities, this study presents a generalizable framework for understanding and analyzing internalized oppression. More specifically, this research focuses on the internalized oppression of subordinant groups, also known as internalized subordination. The framework presented within this study identifies internalized oppression as having three core components or "defining elements": process, state, and action. It is intended to be used as a foundation and starting point for, rather than in lieu of, the examination of the internalized oppression specific to particular social identities. Further, this framework is intended to benefit both scholars and practitioners of social justice and will aide in the development of methodologies and pedagogies aimed at interrupting internalized oppression and promoting liberatory consciousness.

"Development of the Internalized Racism Scale for Asian Americans." Doctoral diss., 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.40257.
Full textAbstract:
abstract: Internalized racism is a destructive, yet insidious psychological effect of racism. Although it has garnered increased attention in the research and clinical community due to its pervasive impact in racial minority individuals, empirical research on this topic has been limited. At the time of this study, no existing scale captures the key dimensions of internalized racism of Asian Americans. This study attempted to fill this gap by developing a self-report instrument that identified the key dimensions of this psychological construct. Seven hundred and fourteen Asian Americans participated in this study, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to investigate the factor structure of the scale. Results indicated that the Internalized Racism Scale for Asian Americans (IRSAA) has five factors, which are Endorsement of Negative Stereotypes, Sense of Inferiority, Denial or Minimization of Racism, Emasculation of Asian American Men, and Within-group Discrimination. This dissertation also examines and discusses the evidence of convergent, discriminant, and incremental validity for the IRSAA subscales.Dissertation/Thesis

RAMOS-DIAZ, EMMA I. "RE-EVALUATION COUNSELING AS A TOOL TO OVERCOME THE INTERNALIZED OPPRESSION OF AN EXPLOITATIVE SOCIETY: A CASE STUDY OF THIRD WORLD WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES." 1985. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations/AAI8509596.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the impact of a counseling model on the lives of a group of Third World women residing in the United States. The model is Re-Evaluation Counseling (RC), an emotional/educational growth and awareness process. Its main focus is on the existing oppressive and socioeconomic and political environment, its effects on people and the possibilities RC holds for self- and social transformation. The premise of this thesis is that the distresses which limit the human potential to be loving, intelligent, cooperative, powerful and effective result from the competitive and exploitative nature of capitalism. In the quest to remain human, people struggle against oppression, transcend adverse circumstances, grow, and influence their environment. Yet, to varying degrees, the system dehumanizes and causes people to internalize negative experiences and adopt distress patterns involving false values and distorted views of self and others. Consequently, people lose elements of themselves which are crucial to their wholeness as human beings. The study explores these dynamics. Qualitative methodology, based on in-depth interviewing, is used. The impact of this study results from the depth of the information that it presents on oppression experienced by the participants--in the intertwining of external oppression with their personal/psychic limitations which are manifested as internalized oppression. The experiences are recounted by the women who speak on their own behalf. The results indicate that through RC the participants in the study: (1) eliminated many of the inner blocks created by oppression; (2) became fully aware that their personal problems (internalized oppression) were the effects of an exploitative society; (3) recognized and recovered lost aspects of themselves (e.g., intelligence), and regained some of their creative powers to become more effective in changing their lives and society. In using RC, Third World women overcome the pull to adjust to a repressive society and begin to realize that the attainment of full human potential requires a collective effort directed toward the transformation and reconstruction of the socioeconomic and political environment. The harmful effects of oppression can be overcome with the use of RC. The model can be of significance in reaching world-wide populations. The simultaneous development in people of deeper self-awareness and new political awareness can generate greater strengths toward the creation of a more just and humane society.

Williams, Tanya Ovea. "A Process of Becoming: U.S. Born African American and Black Women in the Process of Liberation From Internalized Racism." 2011. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations/AAI3465244.
Full textAbstract:
Internalized racism is a contributing factor to the inability of African Americans to overcome racism. (Speight, 2007) Because this is a cognitive phenomenon over which individuals can have agency, it is important to study, understand, and seek out ways that African Americans are able to gain a liberatory perspective in the midst of a racist society. By using colonization psychology and post-traumatic slave psychology to define the phenomenon, and Jackson's Black identity development model theory to ground and analyze participants' process of liberation, this study used phenomenological in-depth interviewing to understand the experiences of African American and Black women who have gained more consciousness of their internalized racism. The researcher interviewed 11 U.S. Born African American and Black women for an hour and a half to gain their understanding of internalized racism and liberation. The study found that Black and African American women in a process of liberation (1) move from experiencing lack of control to an experience of having agency; (2) gain agency from developing greater knowledge and pride of a positive black identity; (3) replace negative socialization with a knowledge of self; and 4) are supported in their liberation by a systemic analysis of racism. The study also found that (1) internalized racism and liberation are complexly defined phenomena, (2) participants continued to practice manifestations of internalized racism while practicing a liberatory consciousness, which confirms the theories of the cyclical nature of identity, and (3) racial identity development models offer a framework for understanding a transition from internalized racism towards liberation but lack clarity about how transformation actually occurs.

Rowe, Danelle. "Power and oppression: a study of materialism and gender in selected drama of Caryl Churchill." Diss., 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10500/1286.
Full textAbstract:
Caryl Churchill, the most widely performed female dramatist in contemporary British theatre, is a playwright preoccupied with the dissection of the traditional relations of power. She challenges social and dramatic conventions through her innovative exploration of the male gaze, the objectification of women, the performativity of gender, and women as objects of exchange within a masculine economy. In so doing, Churchill locates her concerns in the area of `materialism and gender'.
Churchill explicates a socialist-feminist position by pointing directly at the failure of liberal feminism. The lack of a sense of community among women, highlighted by Churchill's portrayal of women such as Marlene in `Top Girls', forms a critical aspect of Churchill's work. Her drama re-iterates how meaningful change is impossible while women continue to oppress one another, and while economic structures perpetuate patriarchy. Altered consciousness, aligned to socio-political re-structuring, is necessary for both the oppressors and the oppressed, in a society where too much emphasis has been placed on individualism.
The outspoken hope for a transgression of the conventional processes of identification and other omnipresent, oppressive socio-political phenomena, is a strong aspect of Churchill's work. Her plays reveal how signs create reality rather than reflect it, and she uses Brechtian-based distancing methods to induce a critical examination of gendered relations. Time-shifting, overlapping dialogue, doubling and cross-casting are used by Churchill to manipulate the sign-systems of the dominant order. Cross-gender casting, Churchill's most widely reviewed dramatic device, is employed to destabilise fixed sexual identities determined by dominant heterosexual ideology. She calls into question the traditional sign `Woman' - which is constructed by and for the male gaze - and addresses the marginality of the female experience in a non-linear framework.
Although dealing with serious issues, Churchill's plays are often executed in a style that is at once amusing and thought-provoking to exclude the possibility of didacticism. With her skilful use of language and innovative techniques as her highly effective instruments, Churchill accomplishes her broader purpose with originality. In its originality and complexity, her drama is in itself a `new possibility' for different forms.English Studies
