Streszczenie:

Partner abuse m women's same-sex intimate relationships IS characterised by invisibility and often misconceptions and disbelief. A dominant focus upon men's violence towards women - necessary as that has been and continues to be - has made little space for woman-to-woman partner abuse to be addressed and understood. This is particularly the case in the UK, where same-sex domestic violence has been slow to appear on the public domestic violence agenda. This thesis is one of the first contributions to a British body of literature about woman-towoman partner abuse. By sharing data from qualitative interviews with 40 women who self-define as having been abused by female partners, I demonstrate the severity ofthe types, dynamics and impacts ofthe abuse reported. This thesis addresses three key issues, all of which engage with the complexities of woman-to-woman partner abuse and the challenges which woman-to-woman partner abuse poses to dominant constructions of gender, domestic violence and woman-to-woman relationships. Firstly, in demonstrating the striking similarities between participants' accounts and knowledge about women's experiences of heterosexual partner abuse, I identify some of the limitations of gendered constructions of violence and abuse which predominantly posit men as perpetrators and women as victims. Secondly, I examine the implications of the social contexts of women's minority sexual identities for the accessibility of support, and the constraints posed by stigma, 'the closet', homophobia and heteronormativity. I fuse this analysis together with women's reports of barriers to seeking support which share parallels with knowledge about heterosexual women's help-seeking, and I thus draw attention to the double jeopardy which women in abusive same-sex relationships often face. Thirdly, I examine the negative connotations which women associated with 'abused women', and how women subsequently projected self-presentations which helped them to manage and make sense ofan experience which potentially threatens their identities.

Streszczenie:

Selon la méthode d’analyse situationnelle élaborée en théorie ancrée, cette thèse explore l’expérience d’agression sexuelle entre femmes telle que vécue par les survivantes et abordée dans la théorie, les discours et la prestation de services. Ce travail examine les enjeux de reconnaissance et de déni et leurs impacts sur les vies de survivantes d’agression sexuelle entre femmes. Les deux premiers chapitres étudient l’invisibilisation de cette violence sexuelle par les théories datant des années 1970 jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Suivant Butler, je propose une perspective théorique sur l’agression sexuelle permettant la coexistence des normes de genre et de leurs transgressions. Je soutiens que les normes de genre appliquées à la violence sexuelle ont une incidence sur ces actes et sur leur reconnaissance. Dans le chapitre trois, des récits de survivantes sont interprétés en mobilisant la théorie phénoménologique; je souligne en quoi les émotions et l’espace sont co-impliqués dans les expériences d’agression sexuelle des participantes. Je présente un parcours commun aux participantes décrivant la transformation du sentiment d’être pris dans un piège vers un certain degré de liberté dans les espaces de guérison. Inspiré par Becker, le chapitre quatre déploie une analyse des « mondes sociaux » qui fournit un contexte institutionnel à ces agressions sexuelles. Je décris comment les pratiques et discours liés à l’agression sexuelle et aux milieux de prestation de services évoluent d’un paradigme genré vers une version non genrée. J’identifie les fournisseurs de services et les survivantes qui reconnaissent les agressions sexuelles entre femmes comme membres de l’« Anti-Violence Project Subworld » (« sous-monde du projet anti-violence »). Les personnes qui comprennent l’agression sexuelle comme forme de violence uniquement perpétrée par les hommes contre les femmes sont identifiées comme membres du « Violence Against Women Subworld » (« sous-monde de violence contre les femmes »). Dans le chapitre cinq sont identifiées quatre approches discursives appliquées aux agressions sexuelles entre femmes. Elles sont : « Gendered Silencing » (« silence genrée »), « Gendered Contextualizing » (« contextualisation genrée »), « Degendered Agentification » (« agentivité dégenrée ») et « Degendered Agentified Contextualization » (« contextualisation dégenrée avec agentivité »).
Based 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.”

The aim of this paper is to illuminate the ways in which working class women are invisible within the feminist and ecofeminist movements. Using the faces and forces of oppression as presented by Iris Marion Young and Hilde Lindemann, I show how the working class experiences oppression. I also show how oppression based on class differs from that based on gender and how these differences contribute to the invisibility of working class women within feminism. In the second section, I use Val Plumwood and Karen J. Warrens versions of ecofeminist philosophy to show how working class women are again absent. Were ecofeminists to include working class women, specifically rural folks and farmers, the idea of attunedness to the land could be both better understood and incorporated within the environmental movement at large.

Streszczenie:

The BBC's women's radio in the British post-war period (1945 – 1955) is still a very much neglected area of historical research, although the BBC after the Second World War continued to produce many talks and programmes that were specifically aimed at women, such as the factual Woman’s Hour (1946) and the fictional Mrs. Dale’s Diary (1948). By building on archival research conducted mainly at the BBC Written Archives Centre, and further work carried out at the Mass Observation Archive, this thesis addresses the production side, as well as the text, and the audience; in a sense a very multifaceted approach. Focus has been laid on women's programmes such as Woman’s Hour and Mrs. Dale’s Diary. But other talks and discussions have also been considered not necessarily with just a focus on women. Throughout the research the editorial process has been of major interest; the thinking behind; the production process. The thesis will demonstrate the importance played by BBC women's programmes in this period but also in the general development of British broadcasting. The thesis also offers a detailed insight into the internal culture of the BBC, and its women's programmes, at a time when questions about culture and taste were surfacing. The thesis will therefore be an original contribution to knowledge to British broadcasting history, but due to its interdisciplinary nature using radio as a 'Historian', this work is further challenging previous assumptions about the post-war housewife, and the perception of the immediate post-war years as a particular stifling and conservative period, with no feminism.

Streszczenie:

This study investigates the representation of female identity and desire in Hollywood films with `makeover' narratives. It deploys some psychoanalytical methodologies, but seeks to avoid the totalising theory of earlier feminist approaches. Blending textual analysis and contextual enquiry in an innovative and discursive manner, the films are understood and extensively historicised in terms of their contemporaneous socio-cultural environment. The key aims are to assess the extent to which female subjectivity is articulated, appraise the forms of femininity constructed, and analyse the ways in which the films relate to and are indicative of shifting gender values. Two periods, both unstable in terms of women's position in American society, are sampled and compared: during and after World War II, when traditional gender roles were in flux, and the post-feminist present when women have experienced simultaneously the gains secured in the previous generation and counter-currents of backlash and retraction. Analogous case studies facilitate the comparison of gender representation in the two periods, starting with familiar key texts (Now, Voyager and Pretty Woman), examined afresh through the lens of makeover. Close analyses entail star studies and aspects of genre, although the central focus remains representation. Some topics receive pioneering academic scrutiny, including Annie Get Your Gun (withdrawn from distribution for almost thirty years), and Goldie Hawn, whose light-heartedness has perhaps deterred the cultural appraisal she merits. Much evidence suggests the makeover narrative to be an effect of patriarchal forces: women are objectified after prescribed notions of femininity; the psychoanalytical element of the study helps explain the role of male desire in the female subject's attempt to achieve a coherent sense of self. However, the fluidity of female identity also suggests possibilities for progressive change; a burgeoning female consciousness is evident in the later films alongside more conservative impulses, showing the different ideological views makeover narratives can mobilise. Finally, makeover films provide a platform for the woman to reposition herself, possibly transforming her personal and social identity, with particular examples relating to class, ethnicity and age.

Ambitious Young Woman is an hour-long dramedy layered with warmth, gravitas, and humor. With dialogue that flies by at the speed of light and a protagonist we would walk into battle with, heart and goodwill lie at the center of the series. While the premise centers around politics on a university campus, the ramifications of the students’ actions will ripple across the entire nation. Staunch liberals of Gen Z are our heroes and they give no mercy when pursuing their progressive ideals. However, it is their evolution from young men and women into adulthood that we’re returning week-to-week for. Even as they bring down the conservative bastions of ‘The Baby Boomers’, it is the characters interpersonal lives that bring about the greatest intrigue.

The 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.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
A 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.

Streszczenie:

This thesis sets out, against a historical background, to establish the legal status of woman-towoman marriages in contemporary Kenya. The phenomenon of woman-to-woman marriage is a form of African customary marriage between two women. Woman-to-woman marriages are distinctly African and clearly distinguishable from the modern-day phenomenon of same-sex marriages, as understood and practiced especially in the global West. They are customary marriages that are conducted by Kenyan communities, such as the Kamba, Kisii, Nandi, Kikuyu and Kuria, for a variety of reasons. The thesis sets out the rationales for woman-towoman marriage and expounds on the nature of the African family and marriage customs in pre-colonial Kenya. Due to the erroneous conflation of the phenomenon of African woman-towoman marriages and same-sex marriages of the West, the provisions in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the Marriage Act of 2014 stipulated that adults have the right to marry only persons of the opposite sex. This led to uncertainty about the legal status of woman-to-woman marriage under Kenyan law. This thesis argues that a purposive reading of the Constitution, taking into consideration the Constitution’s recognition of culture as an important value of the Kenyan society and the historical context within which the provisions proscribing same-sex marriages were included in the Constitution and the Marriage Act, leads to the conclusion that these provisions were not intended to proscribe the cultural practice of woman-to-woman marriage in Kenya.

Little 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.

This study examines the literature written by the generation of women who come between pioneering women writers such as Catharine Parr Traill and Susanna Moodie and contemporary women writers such as Alice Munro and Margaret Laurence, literature which helps us to understand the tradition of New Woman writing present in Canada at the turn of the century. This thesis examines selected texts published between 1895 and 1910, a period of rapid urban and industrial expansion in Canada when women began seeing themselves and their roles in society in "new" ways. The first chapter of this thesis examines the concept of the "New Woman" in terms of its original connotations. The second chapter focuses on the representations of the "New Woman" in Lily Dougall's The Madonna of a Day. Sara Jeannette Duncan's A Daughter of Today is the subject of the third chapter. The final chapter examines short stories written by Canadian women journalists Kit Coleman, Ethelwyn Wetherald, and Jean Blewett. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

This thesis examines the life and poetry collection of the woman poet Li Shuyi (1817--?) within the context of women's literary culture in late imperial China. In particular, the textuality of Li Shuyi's poetry collection Shuyinglou mingshu baiyong (One Hundred Poems from Shuying Tower on Famous Women) forms the centre of critical analysis, which aims to articulate her gendered intervention into representations of women's image in poetry. The thesis is organized into three interconnected sections: the reconstruction of Li Shuyi's life in order to provide a context to articulate her relationship to writing, a reading of Li Shuyi's self-preface to discuss her motivation to write, and critical analysis of poems according to the three thematic categories of "beauty, talent, and qing ." The thesis demonstrates how a woman author's self-perception leads to her becoming a conscious writing subject, and how this self-realization then motivates her to produce a gendered writing project.

Streszczenie:

This thesis is concerned with women's political underrepresentation, which is still a problem in most parts of the world. The primary objective is to investigate the reasons for this phenomenon. It is maintained that the problem is due to a dearth of political women. This lack of political women is attributed to various factors that derive from a gendered public and private ordering within societies. One major aspect of this thesis is the explication of the significance of the asymmetrical public and private distinction in relation to the lack of women in political office particularly in Southeast Asia. In this respect, the first objective is the reformulation of Rosaldo's original "public and domestic" distinction to include asymmetrical gender processes. Women's domestic roles, men's superior status, gendered stereotypic characteristics and behaviour, and gendered institutions are explicated as manifestations of the public and private divide. The second objective is the empirical evaluation of two sets of hypotheses derived from the public and private divide. One is related to societal perception of women and political office, and societal attitudes on gender roles and gender asymmetry. The other is related to political parties as gendered institutions Empirical evidence from two studies carried out in Sarawak, Malaysia largely confirms the pervasiveness of the public and private divide within society, and within the political party as a gendered institution. First, it was found that people from diverse cultures exhibit similar attitudes on asymmetrical gender relations. Second, it was found that people have generally moved away from negative stereotypes of women, but there is still a strong belief in male superior status, the need for women to prioritise domestic roles and conformity to proper gender behaviour. Third, it was found that the highly gendered nature of political parties is not conducive to the development of political women. All these findings suggest that the culturally sanctioned public and private divide is an impediment to women's attaining political office. Based on these findings it is suggested that societies would have to move away from culturally prescribed gender asymmetry to egalitarianism before equality in gender representation can be achieved.

Streszczenie:

During the last two decades the subject of women who kill has been met with increasing interest from feminist theorists and activists. More recently this interest has been fuelled by high-profile cases in which battered women who have killed their abusers have been released from prison following a reduction of their sentences from murder to manslaughter. As a result of feminist challenges to these women's life-sentences such cases are gradually having an impact on the criminal justice system in general and law in particular. Such cases, however - as well as cases involving other types of murder by women - have a longer history than those which have been addressed and analysed by second wave feminists. Thus, in the first 55 years of this century 15 women met their deaths on the scaffold without the opportunity of telling their story through modern feminist discourses. This thesis offers a systematic and critical analysis of the lives, trials and punishment of the women who have been executed in England and Wales during the 20th century. It has two main aims. First, by utilising a feminist theoretical framework it demonstrates how discourses around women's conduct and behaviour, specifically in the areas of motherhood, domesticity, respectability and sexuality, influenced the outcome of court proceedings. Second, it provides an alternative 'truth' about executed women and their crimes. This alternative 'truth' can now be articulated because of the development of feminist theory and methodology and their accompanying discourses which challenge what has so far been regarded uncritically as the dominant truth, for example in sensationalised newspaper reports and 'true' crime magazines. In providing a gendered analysis of capital punishment this thesis therefore both 'unsilences' the stories of executed women, and challenges the normally 'seamless' truth about what is 'known' about violent women, and thus draws attention to the underlying contradictions which usually remain hidden beneath the surface of the apparent homogeneity of ungendered analyses.

Streszczenie:

The older woman's body is an example of the discontinuous nature of those beings who come under the rubric of woman and, as such, demontrates the impossibility of a unitary representation of woman. This thesis explores the social construction of the older woman's body both as abject and as 'docile/useful' and proposes how this abjectification can be re-inscribed as transgressive through a de-territorialization of the older woman's body.This thesis positions the older woman's body as (un)becoming because it lacks cultural intelligibility as representative of the feminine on the one hand and, on the other, because it disrupts normative ideals of femininity and eludes disciplinary practices. Sexuality is used as a resource to conjure, construct, reinforce and validate the 'ideal' woman, a model against which the older woman is redefined as asexual. I argue that the particular technologies employed in the production of the older woman's 'docile/useful' body are those of the health sciences. A 'docile/useful' body transforms the older woman into a knowable, treatable and profitable body through discourses of health. Mass mammographic screening is analysed in order to illustrate how the biomedical sciences are employed in the regulation of the older woman's body through the co-option of health promotion strategy as a disciplinary practice.

"Sweet Black Pussy for Sale" sets the stage for this very feminine and colloquial laced collection of verse. Both figuratively and literally, the voices of a seldom-traveled African-American culture are depicted through these songs. In this thesis, I consider myself a GRIOT, sworn to tell nothing but the truth. These poems speak from places some might consider sacred and others quite sinful. These poems moan out the anthems of those unsung heroes and heroines from my family lineage. The voices of my long dead grandfather, grandmother, aunts and great uncle haunt poems such as "Blues," "Salvation," "A Memorial for Lawrence," and "Apartment 12 B Dwight D. Eisenhower Street." These poems say, "Even when it's sunny on the other side of town somebody could be wearing a frown. It's because the blues don't mess with folks who ain't got anything to lose.â"

This 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.

Streszczenie:

For this work of thesis I chose a rather interesting novel which deserves in my opinion, a thorough analysis: The French Lieutenant's Woman. John Fowles, the author, wrote in 1967 but curiously decided to set it exactly one century before, in 1867. This choice turns out to be interesting even as far as its analysis is concerned. The French Lieutenant's Woman embodies postmodern features especially looking a, not only the narration but also the author's choice to provide three different and possible ending; and at the same time both because of its setting, its plot and the characters chosen, the novel seems to belong to a work of fiction typical of the Victorian age. This thesis also deals with another significant aspect, which is the recurrent theme of the novel, which is freedom. Freedom not only in the characters, but aslo freedom of the reader. Fowles hints at this theme since the very beginning through the use of epigraphs which introduce each chapter. The first one, at the beginning of the Whole novel, comes Fromm Marx's Zur Judenfrage: "Every emancipation is a restoration of the human world and of human relationships to man himself". Emancipation concerning particularly the main character: Charles Smithson.

This thesis explores both limits and possibilities. It reflects on processes of appropriation, re-signification and critique as practiced variably by African American Muslim women. I situate these processes within the concept of multiple critique, for specifically three moments-Sherman Jackson's Third Resurrection, the black feminist tradition, and Islamic feminisms.

In the American capitalist society, the media is often an agent used to perpetuate ideals and to inform consumers of products that they can purchase by using multiple advertising techniques. In an attempt to counter the thin body ideal for women, some companies have begun advertising their products by using plus size models, such as the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty. The purpose of this research is to examine college women's perceptions of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, an advertising campaign whose goal is to reverse the stereotypical body ideal for women and broaden the definition of beauty. Some sociologists have criticized Dove for sending conflicting messages. This study is the first that focuses on women's perceptions about this potential conflict. Through the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods, this study examined if, how, and when women changed their initial perceptions toward the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty based on two separate scenarios brought to their attention. This is important because the findings suggest how consumers can change their perceptions regarding a company, in this case one that is a part of a multi-million dollar parent company, based on how a company advertises its products.

Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies)--University of Stellenbosch, 2008.
This 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.

Streszczenie:

The main research problem in this study is whether law and specifically the human rights framework can speak to the lived experiences and realities of the disabled Nigerian woman. This thesis reflects the frustrations that I experience with my own intersectional identity as a (Nigerian, Yoruba and disabled) woman. These frustrations begin with Nigerian law, specifically its human rights framework and its perception of the disabled woman. One illustration is that the law demands that one must choose between being a woman (identity category) and being disabled (identity category). Yet, the disabled woman has trouble choosing one of these established identity categories because she is a woman and disabled at the same time. The law makes these demands without necessarily recognising and contemplating the interaction and intersection between sex(ism) and disability (discrimination). Unfortunately, because the disabled woman does not neatly fit into the human rights categories, she is labelled deviant and denied protection.1 In most cases, Nigerian law even makes the choice: on the strength of the disability the law decides that one is less of a woman and more disabled, and so refuses to contemplate and recognise the gendered and emergent nature of disability.2 Thus the limits of the law and human rights in speaking to the complex and intersectional lived realities of the disabled Nigerian woman become evident. The law, and specifically the human rights framework, is often portrayed as a saviour of some sort. For instance, a number of commentators point to the need for a Nigerian law and human rights framework that will protect the rights of disabled persons.3 The acquisition of rights, particularly for vulnerable groups who have previously been denied access to these rights, can be empowering and there is no denying the value of a legal and human rights framework. This in turn raises the question that is asked in this thesis. The position I hold is that law and specifically the human rights framework, while having enormous value, is limited in its ability to speak to the lived realities of disabled women. In my view, this limitation results from a failure to recognise the complexities, interactions and intersections that exist between identity categories such as sex, gender, ethnicity or race, sexuality, class, age, culture, religion and disability. Specifically, in this case, the law fails to recognise the interactions and intersections between sex(ism) and disability (discrimination) in the country. However, I argue that the product of these unacknowledged interactions and intersections crucially underlie and form the lived realities of the disabled woman.

Streszczenie:

Rural women relied on their knowledge of fabric despite rapid changes in the women’s clothing, textile, and fashion industries. They created narratives of personal and group identity through their lived experience of dress, drawing on textile knowledge to make fabrics serve their distinct needs. Three broadly defined groups interested in the relationship between fabric and female identity played significant roles in shaping textile discourses in the early twentieth century: rural, predominantly white female middle-class consumers, mediators (in the form of home economists, government agencies, and consumer advocacy groups), and business executives in the fashion and textile industries who shaped and directed the production of fabric and clothing. These groups produced different, and at times competing, forms of textile knowledge which shaped discussions and understandings of dress as a lived experience. This dissertation examines three types of fabric – cotton, silk, and rayon – to interrogate the relationships between people and fabric as part of the interconnected processes of production and consumption, as well in connection to trends in changes in taste, aesthetics, and personal presentation. The chapters operate as case studies of a specific fabric, tracing change over time within each chapter. Each chapter considers distinctions between usage while simultaneously tracing how rural women used each textile to gain knowledge and have their perspectives taken seriously.
