Full textBased on the Grounded Theory Method of Situational Analysis, this dissertation examines woman-to-woman sexual assault as experienced by survivors, and as negotiated in theory, discourse, and service provision. It illuminates dynamics of recognition and denial that influence the lives of woman-to-woman sexual assault survivors. It begins in Chapters One and Two by looking at ways woman-perpetrated sexual violence is obscured by theories dating from the 1970s to present. Drawing on Butler, I advance a theoretical perspective which accommodates the coexistence of gender norms and their transgressions in thinking about sexual assault. I suggest that gendered norms for sexual violence influence acts on the one hand, and recognition on the other. In Chapter Three, survivor narratives are framed by phenomenological theory as I focus on how space and emotion are co-implicated in participant experiences of sexual assault. I present a common trajectory in which survivor participants describe going from feeling trapped to finding some degree of freedom in healing spaces. The fourth chapter deploys a “social worlds” analysis, in the tradition of Becker, to provide an institutional context for woman-to-woman sexual assault. I describe the ways practices and discourses in sexual assault and related contexts of service provision are moving from a rigidly gendered paradigm toward a de-gendered one. I conceptualize providers and survivors who recognize woman-to-woman sexual assault as members of the “Anti-Violence Project Subworld.” Those who understand sexual assault as a fundamentally man-on-woman form of violence are conceptualized as members of the “Violence Against Women Subworld.” Finally, in Chapter Five, this dissertation identifies four discursive approaches to woman-to-woman sexual assault. They are referred to as “Gendered Silencing, ” “Gendered Contextualizing, ” “Degendered Agentification, ” and “Degendered Agentified Contextualization.”

Full textThe CSULB College of the Arts and Department of Dance presented “Beyond the Pale”, a concert of MFA graduate thesis choreography by Nate Hodges, Francesca Jandasek, and Courtney Ozovek, on March 15 - 17, 2018 at the Martha B. Knoebel Dance Theater at California State University, Long Beach. The Immured Woman, a 40-minute long episodic interdisciplinary performance work for 10 dancers, was presented first in the program.
Inspired by the Romanian legend of the Arge? Monastery in which a pregnant woman is immured to make the walls of the monastery stand, The Immured Woman investigated the themes of woman, immortality, creation, and procreation through merging dance, physical theater, visual art, film, text, and sound. The final product included live dance performance, original text and music, an architectural set, film projections of sexualized fruit, and a time-stop animation of an original illuminated musical manuscript to unveil art creation as a metaphor for procreation and procreation as a metaphor for art creation.

Full textA intenção deste trabalho é lançar um olhar sobre algumas representações da mulher na publicidade - mais especificamente na de perfumes e cosméticos -, mapeando, a partir da fala de informantes-consumidoras, as suas relações com o imaginário social acerca do feminino. No conjunto de peças publicitárias analisadas, temos imagens de mulheres misturadas a flores, águas, pedras e cristais, dominando ou tornando-se animais, ou ainda em situações de extrema sedução (como femmes fatales). Diante dessas representações publicitárias, buscamos encontrar alguns dos significados que cercam o universo da produção de imagens da mulher na publicidade e na cultura contemporânea. A sedução e as relações com o sexo oposto, com o poder e com o consumo aparecem como questões-chave para a compreensão de algumas elaborações do feminino na comunicação de massa.
The aim of this work is to look at some of the woman´s portrayals in magazine`s advertisement - more specifically on ads of cosmetics and perfumes - and to examine, from the discourse of young college students (female), some links between the representation of woman on mass media and its social meaning. The ads under scrutiny show the image of woman mixed with flowers, water, stones and crystals, dominating wild animals or even appearing in very seductive scenes (as femmes fatales). Considering such sort of portrayals, this study tries to interpret some of the meanings that make up the universe of representations of women in advertising as well as in the contemporary culture. The ideas of sexual seduction, power and consumption appear over the interviewees´ speeches as important issues concerning woman`s representation on media and gender roles.

Full textLittle Women and Good Wives is a classic children’s novel published in the late nineteenth century by American writer Louise May Alcott. The book concerns the lives, loves and marriages of four sisters growing up during the American Civil War. Alcott portrays four sisters in the book. They are Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. In this essay, Jo’s characteristics will be compared and contrasted with those of her three sisters. The purpose of this comparison is to demonstrate how Jo shows her non-femininity and to what extent she diverges from the contemporary expectations of women. Furthermore, based on the close reading of the novel and historical research, this essay will discuss whether Jo’s choice of writing, her main meanings of entering the man’s world is realistic.

Full textThis study is a contribution to the New Testament hermeneutics. It is a reinterpretation of the Parable of the "Ten Maidens" from an African Womanist Perspective consonant with an Epideictic Rhetoric approach. Through this perspective the social position of women in parables based on an androcentric world is explored. However, this position is challenged by a womanist perspective. Because it is challenged, the process of conscientization has begun and the struggle for the lack of self-worth follows. With African womanist epideictic perspective the intended effect is to respond to the needs of particular individuals or communities, and to persuade the readers to bring about a change of attitude and behaviour in their situation. This thesis opens with an exploration of the socio-historical experience of women revealed in literature of the first century Greco-Roman world; the Jewish world as well as ancient African world. A search in the literature betrays that women's experiences from different societies are generally based on a patriarchal ideology - that of women's supposed position in society. Women's view of the world was therefore along these patriarchal standards. An African womanist epideictic approach, therefore is employed as a liberative tool in dealing with this problem. The second chapter presents women's portrayal in parables, especially those found in African literature and in the synoptic gospels. Luke, in particular, deals with women in parables very positively bringing up the whole question of relationality, that is, practising good relations with one another. This is explored further in the concluding section. In African parables there are two sets of women behaviour. Firstly, there are those who are very much inclined with the socialization of the obedience and loyalty to males in an African cultural tradition. Secondly, there are also those who try to pull out of the patriarchal normative instructions. The behaviour of these two sets is similar to the behaviour of women found in Matthean parables. These behavioural tendencies become so significant for an African womanist that the "Parable of the Ten Maidens" in Matthew is further explored in chapter three. The concluding chapter includes an overview of the thesis and a discussion of the ethical considerations raised when one reads the parables, especially of the "Ten Maidens" from an African womanist epideictic perspective.

Koen, Elizabeth Theresia. "Women in Ancient Egypt : the religious experiences of the non-royal woman." Thesis, Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2498.
Full textThis thesis explores the importance of the function of religion in the life of the average, non-royal woman in Ancient Egyptian society. As Ancient Egyptian society and the historical documentation thereof were dominated by the male perspective, the extent of religious participation by women was, until recently, underestimated. Recent research has shown that women had taken part in, and in some cases even dominated, certain spheres of Ancient Egyptian religion. This included religious participation in public, as well as the practice of certain religious rituals in the home. The religious lives of ordinary women of non-royal families were studied by looking at their involvement in the public aspects of Egyptian religion, such as temples, tombs and festivals, as well as at the influence of religion on their identities as women and mothers. The research method followed was that of an iconographical analysis of original sources, which were classified and examined in order to establish their religious links to women of the middle and lower classes. A catalogue of sources is given, including sources depicting women participating in public rituals and objects used in a more domestic sphere. The first included tomb paintings and reliefs from tombs and temples, as well as objects given as public offerings to various deities. The second group included objects and visual depictions relating to fertility, birth and death. This thesis attempts better to understand and illuminate to what an extent the ordinary women of Ancient Egypt were involved in religious participation in their daily lives, as well as to illustrate the dimensions of this participation.
