Abstract:

This study explores the problem of female defense in relation to the constitution of women as disempowered speaking subjects within the dominant rhetorical structures of early Stuart literature. The discourse of male rhetoricians defines a subordinate place for women in the order of language. The English formal controversy arguments over the nature of women in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries similarly deploy tropes of male precedence and female subordination to restrain women in the symbolic order and to inhibit any form of female discourse. In order to construct an effective defense a female apologist must reconstitute herself by working within and subverting these constraints. Early Stuart drama provides numerous instances in which women confront and contest the pre-established limits for female speech in their efforts to defend themselves and/or their sex. However, in the dramas selected for this scrutiny, despite the forceful defense strategies that female characters use in their attempts to negotiate their negative positions in language, they are ultimately marginalized. My final chapter therefore examines the rhetorical strategies whereby in her life and writing one woman author, Elizabeth Cary, successfully appropriated and transformed the gendered tropes into compelling female defenses.

Abstract:

These collected stories represent a culling from a portion of work that shares a similar theme of loss--its manifestation, its channeling, by various fictional characters, into the palpable and sensate, into the physical world of the body. They are people, mostly women, who have lost their hold on the world to which they are accustomed, who become entangled in situations where their bearings are skewed, their judgment faulty, their decisions based solely on a physical, most often sexual, attraction that simultaneously depletes a sense of worth, while providing its semblance. The loss stems, at times, as in "Manifold," from beyond the control of the character, from the world of adults who cannot, for their own reasons, handle their own despair. It comes from the unavoidable presence of mental illness, and the inability of the character to perceive, amidst the confusion of change, a stable view. Often, as in "She Fell to Her Knees," there is no reference point upon which to base a way to live. Memory is only a trigger for more loss. The characters' own choices bring about loss in other ways--an abandoned infant, promiscuity, an encounter with a stranger--all choices made in an effort to ease, and which result in compounding precarious situations. Brief solace in sex results in inevitable emptiness. Relationships are sought for the safety of their impermanence. The respite from loneliness is always temporary, and almost always sought with the hope that from the physical will emerge the gift of emotional commitment. The stories seek to reveal, not the histories of the characters, but the maps of their emotional pasts. They attempt to portray the routes from which the women have stumbled, and in this way illuminate the emotional present of each story.

Abstract:

In the Middle East and in many majority Muslim nations, homosexuality, including homosexual acts, identities, desires, and discussions of those, is considered taboo. Utilizing a feminist theoretical orientation, this project examined the ways in which same-sex desiring women in Amman, Jordan view the concept of sexually desiring and its relationship to identities. It also examined the pressures placed on them to abide by and navigate familial and religious expectations that conflict with their sexuality. This project drew upon 15 interviews from Muslim and Christian women in Amman using semi-structured and unstructured interviews and participant observation. After analysis, it was concluded that the majority of informants believe in innate sexual desires and sexuality and that all people sexually desire in similar ways. It was also concluded that informants face more pressure from family than from religion, and therefore, find it easier to balance religious obligations than familial obligations with their sexuality.

Miller, Tamara Lee-Ann. ""Never forget her sex" : medicalizing childbirth in Manitoba, 1880s to 1920s." 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/1993/3732.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation is a study of the ways in which childbirth was medicalized between the 1880s and 1920s through an intensive examination of the transformation of childbirth care in Manitoba. During these years, maternal and infant mortality and morbidity became public health concerns and the newly established professions of medicine and nursing aimed at both professional and social standing in Canada. The dissertation argues that the presence of physicians in the birthing room and, ultimately, the transition of the locus of childbirth from home to hospital, were neither accompanied by nor represented an immediate transfer of authority over the birth experience. As nurses and as patients, women were critical to the process of medicalizing childbirth. The dissertation is based upon patient records from Winnipeg hospitals and clinics, medical textbooks and journals, as well as information about medical and nursing education and practices, and demographic information about Winnipeg and Manitoba. Medicine offered the promise of safer, less painful births through the use of instruments and narcotics. However, these same remedies were often controversial within the profession and for patients. Physicians advocated their authority in the birthing room, but acknowledged their paucity of knowledge about the field of obstetrics. Nurses represented a new breed of medical professionals and struggled to forge a feminine professional identity alongside male physicians. Through their attendance at childbirth cases as scientifically trained caregivers, nurses gravitated between the two worlds of medicine and mothers. Patients, meanwhile, indirectly influenced the involvement of medical practitioners. By seeking or rejecting medical attendants, parturient women had a degree of control in the management of the birth process.

Effects of panicle pruning and plant growth regulation treatments on floral sex expression and fruiting of `Yu Her Pau´ litchi were studied. The results showed that the peak blooming period of female and male flower occurred about 12~20 days and 20~32 days after the first flower opened, respectively. The whole blooming period could last for 36~44 days. The flower number in strong or normal vigorous shoots were higher than that in weak vigorous shoots. Strong vigorous shoot had 12.1% female flowers, while normal and weak vigorous shoot only had 9.5% and 9.2%, respectively. The number of flower at the basal was higher than those at the middle and the distal portions of panicle. The basal portion of panicle had 14.3% female flowers, whereas the middle and distal portions only had 12.3% and 10.2%, respectively. The percentage of female flower was increased and blooming period was prolonged 12~16 days by panicle pruning. Poor yields often occurred because of poor fruit set in `Yu Her Pau´ litchi. Sixty percent of young fruit abscised in the frist week after fruit set and the total percentage of fruit abscission was over 80% at harvest. The number of fruit set and final harvested fruit were higher in strong vigorous shoots than in normal and weak vigorous shoots. The numbers of fruit set and harvest fruit were increased by the treatment of leaving only 4 paracladiums on an panicle. Retained paracladium at the base of panicle had better fruit set than retained paracladium at the middle and distal portions. The number of harvested fruit increased by twofold when treated with 40 ppm NAA at the time of two weeks after full female bloom. Fresh weight, sizes of fruit and seed, dry weight and total soluble sugar of seed in abscised fruit were lower than those in normal fruit.

Abstract:

The purpose of this master thesis is to acknowledge and explore the use of fiction literature in scientific research. Six influential and classical novels within western culture is bibliometrically traced through the index database Web of Science. Both quantitative citation analysis and qualitative content analysis are applied, the later with the help of open coding and grounded theory. The quantitative research examines and reveals to which extent the novels are used as references in English language scientific articles, the oldest dated back to 1950, and how articles published between 2010-2018 are distributed over fields of research and the distribution between countries and author gender. The qualitative research also covers the reference position in the article text, other fiction that are co-cited with the chosen novels of this study and also themes or categories for use of the fiction references in 180 scientific articles, published between 2010-2018, that are analysed in full text. Five categories where developed for the use of the novels in the analysed articles. These five categories are Epigraph, Illustration, Theory construction, Partof study method and Other use.
