In Brazil, the comic books Turma da Mônica are very popular and widely read. In 2008, a new comic book from the same brand, called Turma da Mônica Jovem, was released. It presents the same characters eight years older, as adolescents, involved in several activities, ranging from supernatural to everyday-life ones. Considering gender issues in contemporary society and the impact media texts have in readers' lives, the present study aims at unveiling the representations of femininity linguistically construed as regards the female characters in Turma da Mônica Jovem. The issues selected are the ones delivered between August 2008 and July 2011 dealing with everyday-life experiences. The investigation involves a detailed verbal and visual analysis of one story in one of the issues, entitled Eleven things that girls love, and an intertextual analysis in which the other selected issues are also considered. The theoretical background supporting such analysis includes systemic-functional linguistics, grammar of visual design, critical discourse analysis, and gender studies. Deriving from the detailed analysis, four analytical categories regarding the representations of femininity in the comic book arose: (1) concerns about boys; (2) financial and emotional dependence; (3) concerns about social status; and (4) concerns about physical appearance. These categories are discussed and expanded to the other selected issues, which provide further textual evidence for the findings. It was observed that although there are some discursive changes in certain events in some issues of Turma da Mônica Jovem, the comic book in general reinforces several gendered discourses.
Gibis da Turma da Mônica são bastante populares e amplamente lidos no Brasil. Tamanho sucesso permitiu que em 2008 fosse lançada uma nova publicação, a Turma da Mônica Jovem. Neste lançamento, os mesmos personagens são apresentados oito anos mais velhos, como adolescentes, envolvidos em diversas atividades, tanto sobrenaturais como também as chamadas aventuras do dia a dia. Considerando questões de gênero e o impacto que textos de mídia podem causar nos leitores, o presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar as representações de feminilidade linguisticamente construídas no novo gibi. Os números selecionados foram lançados entre Agosto de 2008 e Julho de 2011 em que os personagens lidavam com aventuras do dia a dia. A pesquisa envolve uma análise verbal e visual detalhada de uma estória em um dos números, intitulada Onze coisas que as garotas amam, e uma análise intertextual em que os outros números selecionados também são considerados. O arcabouço teórico inclui a linguística sistêmico-funcional, a gramática visual, a análise crítica do discurso, e estudos em gênero social. Partindo da investigação detalhada, quatro categorias de análise acerca da representação de feminilidade no gibi se revelaram: (1) preocupação com garotos; (2) dependência financeira e emocional; (3) preocupação com status social; e (4) preocupação com aparência física. Estas categorias são discutidas e expandidas para as outras edições selecionadas, que proporcionam evidências textuais para os resultados. Observou-se que embora haja algumas mudanças discursivas em certos eventos em algumas edições da Turma da Mônica Jovem, o gibi ainda reforça vários discursos engendrados.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescent romantic love has been a popular theme in classic literature, poems, songs, movies, and plays, but scientific research on this topic only began a decade ago. Most studies have focused on adolescent sexuality but some research has also observed that the relational and developmental aspects of adolescent romantic relationships has played an important role in the formation of identity, autonomy, social competence, personal achievement, interpersonal relationships, and affective states. Despite this, few studies have explored how adolescents define, perceive, and experience the meaning of romantic love. In this phenomenological study, in-depth interviews were performed with eight middle adolescent females who had experienced romantic love within the past year. The results demonstrated that adolescent romantic love carries similar themes found in adult romantic love (e.g. intimacy, limerence, and infidelity), but also included themes that were specific to the adolescent developmental stage (i.e. idealization, realization, and individuation), and themes that were archetypal (i.e. personal development and externalized love). This study also explored the relationship between sex and romantic love, family influences on romantic relationship constructs, and the impact the media has on developing romantic motifs. As a result of experiencing romantic love, participants felt a personal transformation, admitted to experiencing a wider array of emotional experiences (both positive and negative), and recognized the difference between their idealized fantasies of romantic love and their actual experience of romantic love. Romantic relationships provided the participants with an opportunity to learn inter-personal relationships as well as to explore their intra-psychic world.

Abstract : Texts from the Brazilian teenage girls? magazine website todateen, as well as the American seventeen are constantly read by their target public, including the ones concerning ?love/dating? issues. Taking into account these texts may be read by teenage girls in order to find solutions for problems concerning romantic relationships, hidden ideologies present in them may influence the way girls see gender relations (Ostermann & Keller-Cohen, 1998). Due to such influence these media texts may have on girls, this study aims at investigating how girls and boys are represented in verbal and visual features of sixteen texts retrieved from todateen and seventeen websites in 2015 and 2016 in order to identify the presence of gender ideologies. Furthermore, interpersonal relations established between the texts and the reader are also investigated in this study. The theoretical frameworks used to support this multimodal analysis consist of the transitivity and mood systems (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2004; Eggins, 2004), the grammar of visual design (Kress & van Leeuwen, 2006), critical discourse analysis (Fairclough 1992, 2003, 2010, 2012) and gender studies (Butler, 2011; Cranny-Francis, Waring, Stavropoulos & Kirkby, 2003; Heberle, 2000; Louro, 2008). The main findings resulted from the verbal analysis suggest that girls are still represented according to traditional norms, since they are mostly advised to act in discreet ways and are represented as dependent on boys (taking care of their appearance and being aware of boys? preferences in order to please them). Boys, in turn, are represented as free from others? judgments and free from the consequences of their acts. As regards the interpersonal analysis, findings reveal that the texts are persuasive and have an authoritarian character, which is usually disguised by the use of a number of linguistic elements, such as modal verbs and modal adverbs. Concerning the visual analysis, girls and boys are represented in relations of equality. On the other hand, most of the images in the texts reinforce normative stereotypes related to race, physical characteristics, economic class and sexuality.
Textos do web site da revista brasileira para garotas adolescentes todateen, assim com a revista americana seventeen, são constantemente lidos por seu público alvo, incluindo os que têm como temas ?amor/namoro?. Levando em conta que esses textos podem ser lidos por garotas adolescentes no intuito de encontrar soluções para problemas vinculados a relacionamentos amorosos, ideologias ocultas neles podem influenciar a maneira como essas garotas entendem relações de gênero (Ostermann & Keller-Cohen, 1998). Devido à influência que estes textos midiáticos podem ter sobre garotas, este estudo objetiva investigar como garotas e garotos são representados em características verbais e visuais de dezesseis textos coletados dos web sites das revistas todateen e seventeen em 2015 e 2016 com o objetivo de identificar a presença de ideologias de gênero. Além disso, relações interpessoais estabelecidas entre os textos e a leitora também são investigadas neste estudo. A abordagem teórica que suporta essa análise multimodal consiste nos sistemas de transitividade e modo (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2004; Eggins, 2004), a gramática visual (Kress & van Leeuwen, 2006), análise crítica do discurso (Fairclough 1992, 2003, 2010, 2012) e estudos de gênero (Butler, 2011, Cranny-Francis, Waring, Stavropoulos & Kirkby, 2003; Heberle, 2000; Louro, 2008). As principais constatações resultantes da análise verbal sugerem que garotas ainda são representadas de acordo com normas tradicionais, uma vez que elas são na maioria das vezes aconselhadas a agir de modo discreto e são representadas como dependentes de garotos (cuidando da aparência e estando alerta às preferências dos garotos para agradá-los). Garotos, por sua vez, são representados como livres dos julgamentos das outras pessoas e não responsáveis pelas consequências de seus atos. Considerando a análise interpessoal, constatações revelam que os textos são persuasivos e tem um caráter autoritário, que geralmente é disfarçado pelo uso de inúmeros elementos linguísticos tais como advérbios e verbos modais. No que diz respeito à análise visual, garotas e garotos são representados em relações de igualdade. Por outro lado, a maioria das imagens nos textos reforçam estereótipos normativos relacionados à raça, características físicas, classe econômica e sexualidade.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Intimate Partner Violence affects an estimated one in four women in their lifetime. The negative consequences on wellbeing as well as economic impact demonstrate the importance of finding ways to alleviate this widespread concern. An opportune time to intervene is in adolescence as people start forming romantic relationships. This is particularly pertinent with girls who often experience more harm from abusive relationships. Aims: To evaluate whether a bibliotherapy approach, using the book 'Twilight, True Love and You' (Deacon 2011), was effective in altering beliefs about romantic relationships that underlie dating abuse in adolescent girls. Methods: A cluster-randomised trial design was used. Eight A-level Psychology classes from different schools were randomly allocated to the control or intervention group. Participants were 16-19 year old females and those in the intervention group received the book. Measures were completed at baseline and follow-up (eight weeks) and included indicators of agreement with romantic myths, knowledge of warning signs, violent-tolerant attitudes, behavioural intentions and reported dating abuse. The intervention acceptability was also explored. Results: Participants in the intervention group were significantly more likely to disagree with romantic myths after the intervention, (p=.02; Cohen's d=.45), although this effect was not significant after adjustment for clustering. No significant differences between groups were found for knowledge of warning signs, violent-tolerant attitudes or behavioural intentions. Participants in the intervention group reported significantly more 'controlling behaviour' after the intervention compared to the control group (p=.003, Cohen's d=.95 for individual analysis & p=.03, Cohen's d=l after adjusting for clustering). Over halfthe participants read at least half the book indicating acceptability. 7 Conclusions: The bibliotherapy approach was acceptable to the participants. The intervention did not demonstrate clear effects on the study variables but there was some indication of change in attitudes regarding romantic myths and identification of controlling behaviours in relationships.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOREsta dissertação aborda as perspectivas de meninos e meninas oriundos de famílias com baixa renda e moradores de comunidade carente, sobre gravidez na adolescência. Trata também de aspectos objetivos e subjetivos da vida destes adolescentes. A reflexão é acerca de sua compreensão do que seja serem pais e mães em tão tenras idades. Utilizando a etnografia como opção teóricometodológica, busca-se compreender que perdas e ganhos podem estar imbricados na vivência de serem pais adolescentes, bem como, que tipo de entendimento que eles têm de sua situação sócio-econômica e das dificuldades, exemplos e experiências vivenciados no dia-a-dia da sua comunidade/família de origem. A análise do tipo de educação que recebem, familiar e institucional, fez-se necessária considerando-se a dificuldade de interpretação, tanto diante das perguntas objetivas utilizadas na pesquisa, quanto dos fatos e aspectos subjetivos de suas vivências familiar, comunitária e social. A pesquisa revelou-nos, por um lado, que o comportamento do adolescente morador de comunidade, tem sido influenciado pelas transformações sociais, que são fruto da globalização, e o adolescente, com sua capacidade inventiva, remodela de maneira que caiba na sua realidade, onde falta poder aquisitivo, educação de qualidade, segurança e apoio familiar e institucional. E por outro lado, que a falta de compreensão do mundo adulto, aliada à ineficiência das políticas públicas, estão permitindo, e muitas vezes incentivando, a proliferação de novas famílias que têm sob sua responsabilidade a vida de crianças que, num futuro bem próximo, serão a geração de adolescentes com as quais teremos que lidar, talvez com problemas bem mais significativos que gravidez precoce.
This dissertation analyses the perspectives of low-income youth on early pregnancy. It includes also subjective aspects of their lives and their perceptions on what it means to be parents while they are still young. This study also explores what they define as gain and losses of becoming parents and how they perceive their socio-economical status. This analysis was made possible through the understanding of their educational background inside the family and at school. The methodological tool used was ethnographic research. The research has shown that the behavior of low income youth has been affected by different social transformations such as those caused by globalization processes. The lack of familiarity with the responsibilities of adulthood may affect their roles as parents. On the other hand, the lack of efficient public policies targeting this population lead us to consider that in the next generations, youth might be faced with new challenging issues.

Full textAbstract:
This study is a content analysis of female-oriented magazines aimed at
three different age groups: women, teen, and preteen. Magazine content from Girls’ Life,
J-14, Seventeen, Cosmo Girl!, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour was examined for themes of
sexuality, romance, and the opposite sex. The evidence suggests that topics are presented
to women in a progressive manner in which preteen girls are first learning about the
opposite sex, teens are learning how to behave in order to attract the opposite sex, and
women are being told how to please the opposite sex erotically. While the idea is never
overtly stated, it appears that women are still sexual objects for men’s pleasuring.
However, they are also in charge of “taming” the man and making him knowledgeable on
topics of sexuality and romance.Department of Sociology

INTRODUÇÃO: A anatomia da face súpero-lateral do lobo occipital é tão complexa e variável que a sua descrição precisa não é encontrada nos livros clássicos de anatomia. Os sulcos e giros occipitais da convexidade cerebral encontram-se descritos com nomenclaturas diferentes de acordo com os diversos autores. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar e descrever a anatomia da face súpero-lateral lobo occipital e esclarecer a sua nomenclatura. MÉTODOS: As configurações anatômicas dos sulcos e giros na face súpero-lateral do lobo occipital de 20 hemisférios cerebrais foram examinados a fim de identificar os padrões mais característicos e consistentes. RESULTADOS: Os sulcos occipitais mais característicos e consistentes identificados neste estudo foram o sulco intraoccipital, o sulco occipital transverso e o sulco occipital lateral. A morfologia da junção do sulco occipital transverso com o sulco intraoccipital foi identificada como sendo o aspecto mais importante para definir o padrão de giros cerebrais da face súperolateral do lobo occipital. CONCLUSÕES: O conhecimento das principais características dos sulcos e giros occipitais permite o reconhecimento de uma configuração básica do lobo occipital e a identificação de suas principais variações anatômicasBACKGROUND: The anatomy of the occipital lobe convexity is so intricate and variable that its precise description is not found in the classic anatomy textbooks, and the occipital sulci and gyri are described with different nomenclatures according to different authors. The aim of this study was to investigate and describe the anatomy of the occipital lobe convexity and clarify its nomenclature. METHODS: The configurations of sulci and gyri on the lateral surface of the occipital lobe of 20 cerebral hemispheres were examined in order to identify the most characteristic and consistent patterns. RESULTS: The most characteristic and consistent occipital sulci identified in this study were the intraoccipital, transverse occipital, and lateral occipital sulci. The morphology of the transverse occipital sulcus and the intraoccipital sulcus connection was identified as the most important aspect to define the gyral pattern of the occipital lobe convexity. CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of the main features of the occipital sulci and gyri permits the recognition of a basic configuration of the occipital lobe and the identification of its sulcal and gyral variations

Full textAbstract:
Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in customer awareness. The vertical lineup of Disney princesses spans from the passive and domestic working Snow White in 1937 to independent and super-power wielding princess Elsa in 2013, which makes the line of films an optimal test subject in evaluating above-mentioned simple content analysis methods. As a control, a meta-study has been conducted on previous academic studies on the same range of films. The sampled research, within fields spanning from qualitative content analysis and semiotics to coded content analysis, all come to the same conclusions regarding the general changes over time in representations of female characters. The objective of this thesis is to answer whether or not there is a correlation between these changes and those indicated by the simple content analysis methods, i.e. whether or not the simple popular methods are in general coherence with the more intricate academic methods.Betyg VG (skala IG-VG)

Therefore, the girls had more opportunity and motivation to have fun and thrill with friends outside of school, in this case, the girls escaped from family and school. Finally, suggestions were provided for future research according the results of study. Key: dropout girls, experience of love, narrative analysis.

Full textAbstract:
With the release of her debut solo album, 2004's Love. Angel. Music. Baby. , No-Doubt front-woman Gwen Stefani turned to the street fashions of Tokyo's Harajuku district for her inspiration. The platinum-blonde Stefani promoted herself by being constantly surrounded with an entourage of four voiceless Asian women, dubbed her "Harajuku Girls". They were on her CD cover, she dedicated a track to them, they performed in her videos, and they danced on her Harajuku Lovers live tour. Stefani even re-named them, "Love", "Angel", "Music", and "Baby" after her new record and clothing line, L.A.M.B. The Harajuku Girls function as Stefani's human accessories--silent, sexed-up, submissive, school-girl muses sent to save her from her dull whiteness. I introduce Stefani as an intertextual celebrity who appropriates, absorbs and crossreferences cultural texts and ethnicities in order to market and brand herself as a distinct entity in the worlds of music and fashion--all while resisting any static signification or "authentic" identity. This thesis questions: (1) how Stefani has appropriated Harajuku culture in ways that reinforce Orientalist ideas of Asian women; (2) how Stefani has used Harajuku culture in order to reinforce her whiteness and distinguish herself as a distinct celebrity brand; (3) if Stefani's representations reveal the performative nature of ethnicity and destabilize essentialist ideas of authenticity; (4) how we may compare the transcultural differences between Harajuku appropriation of American culture and Stefani's appropriation of it; and (5) what the political and cultural implications of Stefani's ethnic signifiers may be.

The Gender Discussion in The Love Relationship of The Young Girls─Three Vocational School Girls as Examples Abstract Inspired by the thought statements of Feminism and the woman research approach, the education of the gender equality is attached more and more importance in Taiwan and the related researches develop vigorous in modern days. For the lack of the researches in the young girls’ love aspects, and the issue of relationship with the other genders an important life events in school, furthermore, I receive the raise of the gender role of myself in the process of interacting with the other gender closely. In order to accumulate the experience researches which press more close to the young girls’ life and then to give the concrete care, this research is attempted to make a thorough inquiry in the other aspects of the young girls subjective experience, to discover the meaning of the events in young girls’ perspective, to face and confirm the life experience of personal concern, and to realize the affection description of young girls themselves. By the exploration of the phenomenon surface in quality research approach, through the descriptions of the three young girls, we can understand the essential cultivation in the love relationship with the opposite gender and the gender emergence in love relationship in their life world. Through the gender perspective of Feminism, we analyze the emergence of the gender role in their love relationship, hope to criticize and reflect not only the inappropriate gender values of Patriarchy but the influential gender differences of the society-culture factors, and then to give the concrete care to the young girls’ love life and to promote more harmonious relationship with the other gender for them. The conclusions of this research are as followings: I.Love relationship of the young girls The researcher applies the ‘triangular theory of love’─intimacy, passion, commitment─proposed by Sternberg, to analyze the love features of the research participants. Followings are three conclusions: i.In the young girls’ love relationship, they try to find the belonging of the soul intimacy. ii.In the young girls’ love relationship, they appear the sexual behavior as the combination of sex and love. iii.In the young girls’ love relationship, they reveal economical views toward the promises. II.The gender emergence in the young girls’ love relationship i.In the young girls’ love relationship, they have broken away the male─active / female─passive courtship. ii.In the young girls’ love relationship, they maintain ‘one-by-one’ relationship. iii.In the young girls’ love relationship, they play the image of ‘good-girl’ to gain the affirmation from their boyfriends, friends and family members around them. iv.In the young girls’ love relationship, based on the different degree of the emotion independence, they reveal two different types of love relationship─ reliance/ autonomy. v.In the young girls’ love relationship, the person, who possesses a higher knowledge/class, may have more power about the life decision but is hard to possess the autonomy of affection still. vi.In the young girls’ love relationship, the person, who possesses higher gender consciousness, may have more power about the life decision and the autonomy of affection, and may have higher satisfactory to love relationship. vii.In the young girls’ love relationship, they reveal a contradictive complex to the autonomy of the sexual behavior and the conservative of the sexual attitude in sexual passion. Based on the conclusion of the research, the researcher propose several suggestions to the young girls, their parents, the school, and prospective related researches separately. The suggestions are as following: I.Suggestions for the young girls i.Expand the life-support network. ii.Eliminate the myths of the gender stereotype in love. iii.Learn how to understand the sexual passion of our own. II.Suggestions for the young girls’ parents i.Take an open, acceptable point of view for the young girls’ love relationship ii.Avoid pass down the stereotype of the boy-girl relationship on the young girls. iii.Provide clear and healthy sex education since the young girls were little. III.Suggestions for the school education i.The teachers should view the young girls’ love life ordinarily and form good-intention interaction with the young girls. ii.The teachers should create opportunities actively to provide the educational courses related to the young girls’ real life. iii.The teachers should provide some related courses, which cover the equality of two genders, both in love education and sex education. IV.Suggestions for the prospective related researches i.To accumulate more love/gender experience researches, which press close to the young boys and girls. ii.To do the correlated love/gender researches in connection with young girls in different types of schools. iii.To adopt multiple research approaches for increasing the validity of the research material.

Reading comic books is common to most people in Taiwan, especially to junior high school students, who constitute the main group of consumers. The study investigates the reading behavior and attitude about comic books within a group of girls at a private girls’ high school. The qualitative method has been employed and data gathered by focused group interviews and deep interviews. According to the data, the state of reading comic books is complicated, interwoven with different relationships between adults, peers and the text of the comic books. Foucault’s concept of power is used to interpret the complicated relationships. Reading comic books is not allowed at school, and becomes part of sub-culture in the girls’ junior high school. Through the process of the informants’ resistance to school, I found out their demands as follows: Need for freedom; Demand for self-identification; Satisfaction with erotic passions; Desire for becoming adults and Demand for sense of belonging. With these demands, they turn to comic books for satisfaction and actively resist different kinds of oppressions from adults during the reading process. Comic books have quite different meanings to adults and adolescent girls. All these mentioned above may remind us to treat comic books and adolescent girls multidimensionally.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate not only the current situation and relationships among the halfway school girls’sexual attitudes, self-worth and love styles, but also the difference between girls in halfway school and senior high. In the study, survey research was utilized and demographic information of the participants, Love Style questionnaires, Sexual Attitude Scale, and Adolescent Self-worth Scale were included as assessment instruments . The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and canonical correlation. The main findings of the study about girls in the halfway school are as following: (a)As it comes to sexual attitudes,“birth control”scores appeated the highest. (b)Their score on self-worth was above 3.5 points. (c)Love styles they have were tend to “devotion of true feeling,”“persist in possessing”and“romantical expressing.” (d)Compared with girls in senior high, the halfway school’s scales on “permissiveness”, “instrumentality” and “communion” were all higher; however, the “birth control” scale was relatively lower. (e)Refer to self-worth, family self-worth and whole self-worth, The halfway school girl＇s scores were lower than those in senior high. (f)Although their Love style— “oscillated and tactic,”“sacrifice,”“devotion of true feeling,”“persist in possessing,”and “body sense”— were all higher than those in senior high, “romantical expressing” was lower, on the contrary. (g)The higher score on birth control, the more obvious inclination toward school self-worth, body self-worth and whole self-worth. At the same time, it also showed positive correlation between “instrumentality”and friendship self-worth. (h)There was a significant positive correlation between love style and self-worth. (i) Sexual attitudes and love styles reveal a significant positive correlation, too. (j)The score of the“background variables,”“sexual attitudes,”and “self-worth” can predict the halfway school girls’love styles though the prediction for every love style was not the same. In brief, The predictive power on body sense was extremely high, but on “pessimistic and retaining”is the lowest. According to the results, the researcher offered some suggestions to educators, counselors, and further research.

Full textAbstract:
Originating in the late-1970s' Japanese comic and fiction culture, boys' love (BL) has become a transnational genre in which young women create, distribute and appreciate stories of male-male relationships in various media, ranging from fiction, comics, music, video films, radio dramas and cosplays (an abbreviation of costume-play), to computer games. Also known as danmei (we indulge in the beautiful) in Chinese, the genre expanded and blossomed in the late-1990s in mainland China and Hong Kong. Grounded in the two relatively unstudied fields, this thesis presents a systematic analysis of a distinctive (and less understood) Chinese BL phenomenon from an ethnographic perspective. Unlike most existing literature which has been focusing on psychoanalysis of BL participation and how followers in different countries accept Japanese BL genre as passive readers, much of this thesis deals with the growing complexity of the production, regulation, representation, consumption, and circulation of local BL practices in mainland China and Hong Kong. It aims to shed lights on how a transnational culture is constructed and indigenised under local social, economic, cultural and political conditions. I argue that young women in mainland China and Hong Kong turn from a passive readership to become active in local BL production through ways such as appreciating and identifying with BL values, participating in creation of the most convenient amateur cultural forms, establishing local BL economies, and using conditional and responding tactics to survive the hostile political and social circumstance. In a weaker status position and a more hostile social circumstance, Chinese participants have to poach resources from the cultural industry and transform their resistance into everyday tactics more actively than their Hong Kong counterparts.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the relationship that love and romance have to young women’s experiences of and decisions to engage in heterosexual intercourse for the first time. Inspired by Sharon Thompson’s (1995) book Going All The Way, I wanted to listen to young women’s stories about love, romance and sex in order to better understand their first sexual experiences. I have interviewed six women based on their age (18-23), on whether their first experiences with sex were both heterosexual and consensual, and on whether their decisions to have ‘sex’ for the first time were influenced by a romantic relationship. I analyse the interview transcripts, contextualizing them within the relevant literature, and explore the ways popular culture and media might have influenced the girls in my study. I am concerned with intercourse because I want to gain a better understanding of young women’s experiences with it and to recognize what love and sex might mean to them. I was surprised to find that, even with third wave feminist ‘empowerment’ discourse and hyper-sexualized media and popular culture, the six women I spoke with felt that sex is about an expression of love and a “deeper connection of intimacy” (Krissy) rather than about empowerment or the fun of ‘doing it’. Even though I required that participants needed to have been influenced by a romantic relationship in their decisions to have intercourse for the first time, it was interesting to see the extent that they valued love in their relationships when love was not part of the criteria required to participate. The findings from this study will be useful to sex educators, including myself, who work with young women as well as to parents who might be able to worry less about their daughters, knowing that some girls are looking for love and commitment when they engage in intercourse, not simply casual sex or hook-ups.Thesis (Master, Kinesiology & Health Studies) -- Queen's University, 2011-06-15 12:45:08.093

Abstract Keywords: art education, children drawings, narrative analysis, passionate about painting, life story, painting experience This research studies the painting experience of Angel, a young girl passionate about painting, in narrative analysis to present the phenomena in regards to art education, also to analyze the causes of those phenomena, their relationship with the painting experience of Angel, and the resulted interactions. The researcher divides the teaching facilities of art education into on-campus and off-campus to present her painting experience in those two areas. This research probes into the values on “learning arts” held by the Taiwan society and the effects on individuals. In the psychological aspect, the interaction between Angel and her family members, teachers, and classmates is analyzed to identify the factors affecting the paining motives of Angel. The research conclusions are as follows: 1. Factors affecting Angel’s painting experience: 1) individual characteristics; 2) family; 3) school; 4) society 2. Reflections by elementary school teacher An elementary school teacher, through this research, can understand the self-positioning and values in the role of teacher, in turn, to respect the individuality of students, care for their growth, recognize the importance of creativity inspiration, apply affirmation and encouragement, and hold arts competitions. 3. The feasibility, difficulty, and limits of the art education case studied by narrative analysis Narrative analysis is used to analyze the case of Angel and returns its actual states; qualitative analysis is used to probe into the factors affecting Angel’s painting experience. This research aims to prove the feasibility of art education case study through narrative analysis, yet with difficulties to be overcome; the research conclusion has unsurpassed limits. Based on the research findings, the following suggestions are proposed to art education: 1) promoting learning-oriented family education; 2) including pop culture in school curriculum; 3) encouraging students who are interested in painting entering arts competitions and offering appropriate advice; 4) periodic “Visual Arts” learning camp organized by the education bureaus; 5) promoting the Nine Year Comprehensive “Arts and Humanities” class.

Full textAbstract:
You Don’t Have to Be a Bad Girl to Love Crime uses archival research, textual analysis, and industrial and cultural studies frameworks to re-evaluate women’s representation in post-World War II American radio and television crime dramas. It complicates popular and scholarly understandings that postwar broadcasters simply responded to audience desires by marginalizing women across their schedules and removing recurring female characters from crime dramas altogether. Rather, the three major networks (NBC, CBS, and ABC) that dominated the broadcast industry’s transition from radio to television joined conservative religious and anti-communist groups to silence public debate over women’s roles. While late-1940s network radio programming incorporated varied opinions about postwar women’s desire and potential to expand their influence in the workplace and politics, postwar television naturalized a vision of passive housewives embracing husbands’ patriarchal authority. Women who chose to fight crime challenged this authority by claiming the right to enforce the law and judge their fellow citizens.
This dissertation is organized into two parts: The first explores the industrial and cultural discourses that set the stage for postwar restrictions on women in crime. Network executives and anti-communist conservatives did not see each other as natural allies, but they mobilized complementary gender discourses emphasizing women as passive consumers rather than public actors. Archival industry research shows network executives ignored evidence female audiences liked crime programming, especially series featuring active, sympathetic women. Instead, executives and vocal conservatives framed such women as a sexualized threat to men, children, and themselves. Networks tolerated crime-curious women on radio and early television, when they struggled to retain and build a female audience. However, by the mid-1950s, executives feared such women would undermine their commercial emphasis on domestic consumption and attract regulation or censorship. Part two explores three major types of crime-curious women who appeared on postwar radio and television programming. Investigative wives and detectives’ secretaries investigated crimes with male husbands or employers. Female detectives, however, directly challenged men’s control over criminal justice, the most overt sign of patriarchal social power. All three types gave female audiences a powerful model of feminine agency within patriarchal society. They also established representational norms that endure in modern crime dramas.

The purpose of this qualitative case study is to explore the literacy practices of marginalized adolescent youth in India and the relationship of these practices to imagination and identity construction. More than just tools for communication, language and literacy practices allow individuals to express their selves and identities as they voice their thoughts, negotiate meaning (Dyson & Genishi, 2005; Gee, 2003), and enact themselves within society (Janks, 2010; New London Group, 1996). This qualitative case study took place in Lucknow, India; the subjects were a group of adolescent girls at a nonprofit all-girls school in a seventh-grade classroom. Using discourse analysis, the data revealed the ways in which the girls used literacy to agentively position themselves as actual selves in their societies, as imagined social selves and others, in relationship to social others, and in imagined events.

The subjects of this study were girl students of municipal junior high schools in Longtan District, Taoyuan City. A stratified random sampling and cluster random sampling were carried out in 2 stages in this study. 318 copies were distributed and 310 valid copies were obtained. The major 5 findings in this study are shown as follows, 1.70% of those students once read romance novels. Those students most prefer reading romance novels as entertainment whereas that of guidance is the least accepted. 2.Reading romance novels of 8th and 9th grade students as entertainment is significantly different than that of 7th grade. 3.Love attitude of those students prefers to altruistic love, storge love and pragma love, not mania love. Storge love of 8th grade those students is significantly higher than that of 7th grade. 4.Both altruistic love and storge love of those students are significantly different between having and not having boyfriend. 5.The correlations between perceived reality with recognition and guidance factors and love attitudes with altruistic, mania, and eros love are middle-level. Finally, the educational implications of this study and recommendations for future research are also proposed.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines Monica Genya’s representation of the good-time girl in her novels
Links of a Chain, The Wrong Kind of Girl and The Other Side of Love. By analyzing the
everyday living of young women, this research elucidates on how Genya re-appropriates the
good-time girl figure, assigning her agency. Genya employs the romance template to deliver
her-story; therefore, this study investigates the performance of romance and sexuality by the
good-time girl, with the aim of differentiating her from the prostitute, establishing profundity
in the figure and complicating the representation of women in literature. The research
explicates how romance and sexuality has been employed by the author to comment on
gender relations and to locate and centralize the figure of the good-time girl often maligned
or studied in the shadow of prostitution. Finally, while recognizing the author’s contribution
to studies of feminism and gender in African literature, this study further highlights some of
the finer nuances that enable androcentrism and continue to impede the good-time girl as she
struggles to express and defend her implied empowerment in cities and towns.
