Abstract:

Attitudes towards the naked body vary from culture to culture. Even within one culture, the nakedness often symbolises very different and sometimes arbitrarily contradictory things. It can be associated with eroticism, sanctity, aggression, a certain type of culture (from savagery to elitism), etc. Focusing on specific cinematic examples, the author examines the symbolism of naked male and female bodies in horror films. The author concludes that while nudity may serve to attract viewers to the cinema, it does not necessarily equate to sexuality. The nudity is frightening in its vulnerability,

Abstract:

This paper intends to demonstrate how the naked body can be understood as a discursive materiality (discursive body), insofar as it destabilizes meanings historically produced about women, their bodies and sexuality. We will use the theoretical perspective of the French Discourse Analysis of Michel Pêcheux, in order to analyze a protest,performed by the feminist group FEMEN, against the implantation of Sharia in Egypt after the events of the Arab Spring in 2012. With this reflection, we aim to show that the naked body, when covered with statements that question the control of the female

Growth performance of normal-feathered, frizzle and naked neck indigenous chickens of Nigeria during an 18-week growing period was studied. Differences in body weights among the three genotypes (sexes combined) were not significantly different at all ages, although those with normal feathering showed general superiority over the other two genotypes. Male normal-feathered individuals had significantly higher body weights than the females from week 6, whereas differences between male and female naked necks were significantly from the females at all ages. No significant differences were observed

This paper uses the film Looker (Michael Crichton, 1981) to highlight how a group of filmmakers and technologists imagined the sinister side of computer-automated biometrics would unfold in late twentieth century United States.

Thus from their artworks disappeared sublimated, exalted nudity, withdrew nudes modestly hidden under mythological or religious context.

The corpses do not merely offer themselves up as ciphers to be decoded. They reveal the lack in the perpetrators. Hitchcock's Frenzy relies on female bodies for clues to the murders. Hitchcock plays

In this debate Gournay's position is egalitarian, whereas Scudéry's approximates to a feminism of difference. It is claimed that both female protagonists in this early debate occlude the female body.

La Curée is a novel about financial excesses and sexual appetites. A problem arises for Zola: how to describe sexual acts and avoid censorship? Zola's strategy is to portray sexuality in a slightly indirect way. He uses a scientific gaze as an alibi to describe human sexuality. This article demonstrates how Zola combines references to botany and fairground anatomy for this purpose. Botany allows Zola to write about sexuality in a way that is both explicit and indirect. In addition, the naturalistic method of observation offers a ‘neutral’ scientific perspective of sexuality. Finally, reference

Abstract:

This study was conducted with the objectives of characterization of indigenous chicken ecotypes and their husbandry practice at West Guji. A total of 204 households were randomly selected from two purposively selected woredas and 612 mature chickens were used for qualitative and quantitative traits data collection. The collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version, 20) and the General Linear Model procedure (PROC GLM) of SAS. The qualitative data of feather distribution, plumage color, beak color, eye color, comb types, earlobe color, head shape,

Abstract:

Large animals should have higher lifetime probabilities of cancer than small animals because each cell division carries an attendant risk of mutating towards a tumour lineage. However, this is not observed—a (Peto's) paradox that suggests large and/or long-lived species have evolved effective cancer suppression mechanisms. Using the Euler–Lotka population model, we demonstrate the evolutionary value of cancer suppression as determined by the ‘cost’ (decreased fecundity) of suppression verses the ‘cost’ of cancer (reduced survivorship). Body size per se will not select for sufficient cancer sup

Abstract: It is impossible to read much about American poet Anne Sexton before encountering references to her "perverse" imagination. Critics routinely argue that she paints a perverse vision of childhood sexuality, female identity, and adult sexuality in her work, and they often object to her frank discussions of the body, its pleasures, and its dangerous powers. Her depictions of mental illness, initiated in To Bedlam and Part Way Back , also earned the derision of many critics who urged her "not to enquire further." Helen Vendler (1988) argued that "a poem was never better for having a uter

Abstract:

In the twenty-first century, the most common cases of transgression in theatre are related either to breaking certain religious or social norms, particularly when combined with indecent language and exposure of the body. Nevertheless, this article investigates something as essential as viewing relying on the notion “gaze” and “soft transgression” (Patrice Pavis).First, the article explores different theoretical approaches to viewing, especially the ones relevant in the context of performing arts and gender identity, and highlights some phenomenological aspects of bidirectional theatrical gaze.

Abstract:

Mahasweta Devi’s “Draupadi” (2002) is a groundbreaking narrative that reimagines classical mythology to critique contemporary socio-political injustices, particularly the systematized oppression and despotism of women and marginalized communities in India. By subverting the mythological Draupadi from the Mahabharata, Devi crafts Dopdi Mejhen, a tribal woman and a Naxalite revolutionary, as a symbol of disobedience and resistance against patriarchal and state violence and its inhumanity. This study tries to explore how Devi reclaims myth to address issues of gender, caste, and class oppression,
