Abstract:
This thesis foregrounds a question unanswered in queer theory�s account of the ongoing reproduction of heteronormativity. In Gender Trouble, Judith Butler asks "From where does the performative draw its force, and what happens to the performative whose task it is to undo" that discursively legitimated enacting? (Bodies That Matter 224-5). While queer theory offers a compelling account of how the normative fictions of identity privilege heterosexuality, the first part of Butler�s question remains relatively under-theorised.

Abstract:
Coraline by Neil Gaiman has several characters who in many ways break gender norms. The main protagonist of the novel, Coraline, acts more in accordance with masculine gender norms, and the mother figures are mothers who do not fully conform to the traditional mother role. The purpose of this study is to look at how Coraline and the mother figures perform their gender, and in which ways this breaks with or aligns with traditional gender norms. The analytical approach is based on Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity, and on masculine and feminine gender schemas defined by John Stephe

A study of transgender embodiment provides a unique vantage point from which to examine how people take up, and are constituted by, ideas about sex and gender.

Markets for biodiversity offsets are being tried as mechanisms for achieving this societal objective in the most efficient manner possible.

In Romantic studies, Romanticism is regarded as a reaction against modernity, or more accurately, a self-critique of modernity. There have been critical debates over the nature of the preoccupation of the Romantics with the past and the natural world, whether such concern is an illustration of the reactionary tendency of Romanticism, or an aesthetic innovation of the Romantics. This study tries to approach this problem from the perspective of space.

Butler asserts that “gender is not a performance that a prior subject elects to do, but gender is performative in the sense that it constitutes as an effect the very subject it appears to express” (314, emphasis original). She believes that gender identity is performative because it constitutes itself though actions, gestures, and speech. This project seeks to investigate the performative nature of roller der

Abstract:
Most studies on gendered relations of power in Ghana have focused on formal and policy issues such as gender parity in education and political representation. Where attention has been paid to marriage relations, it has often been fragmentary, centering on, for instance, male spousal violence or inheritance patterns, rather than targeting holistically the socio-cultural dynamics that engender and reproduce unequal power relations and violence against women. This study directly addresses this deficit. This thesis develops a poststructuralist feminist framework to analyse the rules and expectatio

На сучасному етапі лінгвістика зробила рішучий поворот від системно-структурних досліджень у бік досліджень мови в живому функціонуванні у різних сферах комунікації, до вивчення функціонування мови як знаряддя, засобу спілкування та мовленнєвого впливу.
