Abstract:
Once upon a time in the promised land of Information Society there was a widespread concern for the dreaded Digital Divide. In the wide range of modern stories and "fairytales" in our technoromantic era, access to and knowledge about computers always seem to hold the key to a prosperous future, while deprivation of such access will doom you to the far side of the Digital Divide. ICT (information and communication technology) thus seems to be the driving force of the 21st century as the electricity was for the 20th. As a result, the policymakers of Norway, even if, or just because, they rule a small country, are afraid of falling behind on the golden route to the future, and thus aspire to be on the right side of the digital divide. This is in accordance with general concerns in other countries and the EU about lagging behind, since they have observed that Japan and USA have been leading the way enroute to the Information Society (Selwyn 2002, Servaes and Heinderyckx 2002). This is also a double drama because as in the traditional fairytales, princesses are in special danger or have wandered off and must be rescued by the heroes: …knowledge in technology must be shared by all groups in order to prevent new differences from developing in the presuppositions for participation. Dissemination must thus proceed so that it does not consolidate traditional gender divisions where girls are raised to believe that "women do not understand" natural science and technology. Girls and computing has been a topic in the Norwegian public discourse since "once upon a time" around 25 years ago, and I will through this collection of articles investigate various stories about the girls and computing problem at different sites and look into how these stories relate to each other.

Abstract:
Internet har inneburit nya möjligheter för mänskligheten att kommunicera och organisera sig. I denna uppsats beger vi oss till utkanterna av nätet för att utforska ett sexköpsforum online med inriktning mot thaimassagesalonger. Med hjälp av netnografisk metod och utifrån sociologisk teori undersöks normer och organisering på forumet med fokus på förstagångsbesökaren. En lättare undersökning av förekomst av sexuell tjänst som beskriven av forumets medlemmar återfinns. Studiens resultat tyder på att det analyserade forumet har bidragit till att inspirera och lära förstagångsbesökare till att erhålla sexuella tjänster. Vidare identifieras ett, utanför det publika forumet, informationsubyte av komprometterande information där exakta anvisningar och platsdata utbyts medlemmar emellan. Detta sker i det så kallade privata meddelandet<br>Along with the rise of the Internet human interaction, communication and organisaiton have come to see new opportunities. In this study we will explore the fringes of the internet to explore a forum discussing thaimassage with sexual services also known as Happy Ending. Thanks to netnographic methods and sociological and criminological theory we will put the sex buyer in a social context. Extra focus is given to the first timer. The results of this study shows that criminal or deviant behavior can be learned from a forum online. In particular that the first time sexbuyer gets inspiration from and help to learn how to become a sexbuyer. Other results include the organisational setup surrounding the analyzed forum as well as a brief quantitative calculation on occurences of Happy Endings.

Abstract:
Flera olika källor har fastställt att många av Malmös thaimassagesalonger erbjudersexuella tjänster mot betalning. Syftet med denna studie har varit att delsundersöka hur omfattande den påstådda problematiken är samt att tydliggöravilken utsatthet en del av kvinnorna på salongerna lever i. En viktig del i studienhar varit att lyfta fram vilket stöd som professionella aktörer kan erbjuda dessakvinnor. Erfarenheter och kunskaper från de professionella aktörerna, bådefrivilligorganisationer, kommunala verksamheter samt myndigheter, har legat tillgrund för studiens resultat. Informationen har hämtats genom kvalitativaintervjuer med personal från ovan nämnda aktörer. Det framgår tydligt att detförekommer försäljning av sex på thaimassagesalonger i Malmö.Samtliga respondenter i intervjuerna bekräftar att många av kvinnorna på Malmösthaimassagesalonger lever i en särskild utsatthet. En beroendeställning gentemotsin arbetsgivare eller sin svenska man, tillsammans med en bristande kunskap omsvenska lagar och rättigheter, har varit det som bidragit till kvinnornaslivssituation. En rädsla för att mista sitt uppehållstillstånd har varit en faktor somökat deras beroendeställning. Enligt en del intervjupersoner kan arbetet med att nåut till denna målgrupp bli väsentligt mycket bättre.<br>Multiple sources determine that many of Malmö’s Thai massage parlours offersexual services. The goal of this study has been to investigate how extensive thealleged problem is, and to clarify the type of vulnerable situations some of thewomen working in the massage parlours live in. An important part on this studyhas been to highlight the type of support professionals can offer these women.Experiences and knowledge from professionals, voluntary organizations, andmunicipalities has been the bases for this study. Data has been gained throughqualitative interviews with professionals from the above mentioned actors. Theinterviews show that sexual services are sold in Thai massage parlours in Malmö.The interviewees confirm that many of the women that work in Thai massageparlours live in especially vulnerable situations. A combination of dependency ontheir employer, on a Swedish husband and a lack of understanding of Swedishlaws and rights, have contributed to these women’s vulnerability. A fear of losingtheir residency is a factor that has increased their dependency. According toseveral interviewees, outreach work toward this group can become substantiallyimproved.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the presence of the romance myth in contemporary popular Australian women’s fiction. Even after decades of feminism, the repetition of the love story discourse presents readers with a single relationship ideal: heterosexual monogamy. This thesis performs a discourse analysis on a variety of texts published before 2000 to establish a context of Australian women’s fiction, and on four texts published after 2000, in order to ask the question: how is the love story represented in the twenty-first century? Romance is always examined as a genre; its construction within texts of other genres has never before been analysed. The Introduction outlines the discourse analysis methodology, based on the work of Michel Foucault and James Gee. Chapter One provides a literature review and discussion of how romance has been treated by critics. Chapter Two examines second-wave feminist perspectives of romantic love and the perspectives of later feminists – ‘woman’ as sexualised object appears to be the current trend – as well as the significance of feminist literary theory to popular texts. Chapter Two also discusses the work of cultural studies in relation to this thesis. Chapters Three and Four outline a brief history of Australian women’s writing in order to highlight the recurrence of the love story discourse communicated in 150 years of fiction. Chapter Three provides an historical overview of the presence of the romance story in Australian women’s writing. Chapter Four examines the use of fiction for a specific political purpose: short stories published in The Australian Women’s Weekly during the 1940s which supported the Weekly’s overall aim to steer women towards strictly gendered roles for the good of the nation; literature that conflicted with the heterosexual monogamous ideal was banned from publication and circulation in Australia because it was considered deviant and unpatriotic; and short stories in contemporary issues of The Australian Women’s Weekly which still focus on women as wives and mothers and as concerned only with romantic love. Each of the remaining chapters considers a contemporary genre’s use of the romance myth. In Chapter Five, an examination of a Harlequin Mills & Boon novel, Dr Blake’s Angel, reveals romantic love as being an integral part of community life and a woman’s desire to nurture. Examined in Chapter Six is Three Wishes, a chick-lit novel that follows the romantic difficulties of a set of triplets. Each triplet must learn humility and, therefore, acceptable femininity, before they can achieve a successful heterosexual monogamous relationship. Chapter Seven analyses The Tower of Ravens, a fantasy novel also advocating conservative femininity and demonstrating a close relationship to the love story discourse. Rhiannon, although uncivilised and violent, becomes a heroine through her total devotion to Lewen. Chapter Eight investigates a crime novel, Malicious Intent, where the love story discourse is employed to distract the heroine from solving the crime. Anya is seen to believe wholeheartedly in the romance plot, as are all the victims. All women, then, are presented as perpetual victims, and all women lose because all men pose a threat. Romantic love is something to aspire to, but it cannot be achieved. Why am I looking for a heterosexual and monogamous happy ending? As this thesis shows, the love story discourse has been presented consistently through women’s fiction that focuses on relationships. Despite the decades of feminist intervention, contemporary popular Australian fiction constantly and consistently presents heterosexual, monogamous relationships that preferably lead to marriage. The heterosexual, monogamous happy ending, or its deliberate critique, is present not only in romance fiction but also in most texts written by women, in genres that do not require a love story plot.<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>School of Arts<br>Arts, Education and Law<br>Full Text

Abstract:
The aim of my thesis was to examine if educators need to be critical of what they read to the children from a gender perspective. I examined how picture books depict gender and if the books enhances or breaks perception of gender roles. I also examined educator’s perception of gender and if they think picture books can affect children’s perceptions of gender, but also what educators think about gender equality through picture books. The study is based on analysis of five picture books and interview with five educators. The results of analyzes showed that picture books are stereotyped and enhances perceptions of gender roles. The result of the interviews showed that teachers had different perceptions of gender when they selected picture books, and most of them believed that stereotypes in picture book affect children’s perceptions of gender.   The educators perceptions about equality work though picture books was different, some educators perceive it as just reading unisex picture books while other educators perceive it as reading picture books with girls in main role. My conclusion is that educators need to be critical of what they are reading from a gender perspective because books usually represent gender stereotypes. The educators also need more knowledge about how gender is represented in the picture books and what gender equality means.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis concerns a very common, yet surprisingly under-examined, concept: the Hollywood ‘happy ending’. Focusing on an aspect of this convention that I call the ‘final couple’ (i.e.: an ultimate romantic union), the study examines movies from throughout the history of popular American cinema in order to interrogate common critical assumptions about ‘happy endings’. Chapter 1 questions the existence of the homogenous norm the ‘happy ending’ by attempting to define it – a task more challenging than the convention’s reputation would have us believe. Chapter 2 looks at the relationship between ‘happy endings’ and closure, arguing that, while some films succeed in making their final couples feel emphatically ‘closed’, others use different strategies to render the same convention comparatively ‘open’. Chapter 3 examines the connection between ‘happy endings’ and ‘unrealism’, considering firstly the traditionally close conceptual relationship between the ‘happy ending’ and fiction tout court, before, secondly, exploring the ways in which the final couple relates to debates concerning the ‘openness’ of life and the ‘closed’ nature of narrative. Chapter 4 addresses the ideology of ‘happy endings’ by discussing (1) what potential the concept of the final couple might be said to have for structuring viewers’ real-life romantic relationships, (2) the ideological implications of closure, and (3) the different ideological meanings that a final couple can convey in what is often taken to be an innately ‘conservative’ genre, the romantic comedy. The results of my analyses suggest that ‘happy endings’ are as conducive to variation as any other artistic convention – a fact that has significant ramifications for our thinking about Hollywood conclusions.

Abstract:
I focus on the changing and now contemporary feminist conceptualization of romance fiction. Through the genre’s mass-market success and complicated history, a definition of ro·mance (genre) is conjured. By depicting a fantasy world for the female reader to escape to, feminist critics and romance academics have found the genre’s influence to be an effective one. In an analysis if popular romance fiction author, Emily Giffin, and her most recent novel The One & Only, I demonstrate what has now resulted in the modern romance and further, how the modern heroine is understood today.

Fu-YuWei and 魏夫雨. "Adam Bede and Its Issue of Happy Ending." Thesis, 2019. http://ndltd.ncl.edu.tw/handle/4p2f8g.

Full text
Abstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>外國語文學系<br>107<br>This thesis discusses why the closure of George Eliot’s Adam Bede is a satisfying one for the eponymous character and Dinah Morris, as well as how the happy ending is connected with Eliot’s conception of tragedy. Adam Bede concludes with Adam and Dinah’s marriage and their children, which seem to be a conventional happy ending of a nineteenth-century novel. However, not every critic regards the closure a happy ending for Adam and Dinah; nor does every critic consider it consistent with the plot of the novel. Focusing on Adam and Dinah, the thesis reads the novel as a, in Randall Craig’s words, “nineteenth-century di lieto fin” and argues that the two characters’ marriage represents a happiness which they have earned by learning to overcome their shortcomings from their sufferings. It consists of five chapters, starting with an overview in Chapter One of different critical assessments about the ending of the novel. Chapter Two illustrates the two factors contributing to an Eliotian version of “a nineteenth-century tragedy di lieto fin” in Adam Bede. The first factor is the ebb of tragic dramas and the rise of novels as the alternative medium for tragic themes and subjects in the nineteenth century. The second factor is Eliot’s own reading, especially that of Aristotle’s Poetics, which inspires her to create and apply her ideas of tragedy to her novels, including Adam Bede. Chapter Three moves on to analyze how Adam, as a tragic hero, learns through suffering not to be blinded by appearance, as well as how his marriage to Dinah serves as a reward for his growth. In a similar manner, Chapter Four turns to Dinah and elaborates how she, as a tragic heroine, realizes her lack of self-regard through internal conflict and becomes able to embrace her love for Adam. The chapter then explains how her marriage serves as a reward for this development. Finally, Chapter Five concludes with Eliot’s conception of tragedy, which the novelist conveys through Adam and Dinah’s union: that sufferings enable people to undergo regeneration and to gain a happy ending as a reward for growth.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>傳播管理研究所<br>100<br>In the past, the main audiences of TV serials in Taiwan are housewives, but less TV serials set youngsters as target audiences. Recently, the appearance of “Taiwan idol dramas” that plots are close to youngsters’ life styles gives the youngsters a different choice and becomes a popular TV serial type among youngsters. “Love” is an important element in Taiwan idol drama. For attracting audiences’ attention, the producers will focus on the plots about love and make the contents that fit to the audiences’ favor. The producers and screenwriters pay much attention on the plot-setting, but they ignore how they affect audiences’ values and expectance for love of the society. For finding the relationship between Taiwan idol dramas and female audiences, the research combines cultivation and Use & Gratification, two different ways of audience research. By content analysis, the research defines the love world in Taiwan idol dramas. By questionnaire survey, the research understands the impressions and opinions for Taiwan idol dramas of female audiences with different viewing motives, viewing behaviors, and love experiences. Results show the particular love concept in Taiwan idol dramas will influence love concept of female audiences, and the love concept will be strengthened when they are heavy viewers. With much more motives like entertainment and information-learning, the particular love concept of audiences will be strengthened by the particular love concept in Taiwan idol dramas, but with much more motive like ritual viewing, the particular love concept of audiences will be weakened by the particular love concept in Taiwan idol dramas. No matter the audiences lack love experiences or have blessed love experiences, the love concept in Taiwan idol dramas will not influence love concept of audiences.

Full text
Abstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>外國語文學系碩博士班<br>98<br>In order to explore Emily’s intention to write the similar stories of the two generations in Wuthering Heights, this thesis first analyzes the function of Nature in the novel and then attempts to settle the dispute about the reliability of the two narrators, Nelly and Lockwood. Chapter Two first introduces some important terms briefly, such as the implied author, in order to usher in the idea of the unreliable narrator. Then, this chapter focuses on how Nature, serving as a symbol, is used by the implied author to describe the personalities of the characters and express his or her own values. The descriptions of Nature in the novel demonstrate that the implied author is aware that Nature is never one-sided nor is human nature, and this is the implied author’s values. However, the two narrators aren’t and thus violate the implied author’s values, which makes them unreliable narrators. Chapter Three continues to analyze the two unreliable narrators from the perspective of their backgrounds, personalities, and interactions. In addition, this chapter also explains that Emily Bront? arranges the two narrators because she intends to decrease Nelly’s reliability with Lockwood. In fact, the two unreliable narrators represent those who always judge others based on one simple standard, that is, their own values. Chapter Four explains that Emily chose to tell the story through the two unreliable narrators because readers could not accept that the main concern of the novel is about the passionate love between Heathcliff and Catherine. Finally, this thesis concludes with the argument that Emily Bront? realizes that Nature and human nature are never one-sided, and that she believes that everyone should respect differences. Hence, Emily writes two similar stories of the two generations in order to highlight the sufferings of Heathcliff and Catherine, who are rejected because they have different values and personalities from social norms. Furthermore, because Emily sympathizes with Heathcliff and Catherine and appreciates their wild nature, she allows them to reach a happy ending, having their ghosts wander on the moors, a place most suitable to their nature.
