    Women Journalists in Hindi Films: Stereotyping the stereotypes | Saswat.com | All That's ... Page 1 of 5 Saswat.com All That's Left Blog :: Saswat Pattanayak Home Articles Links Poetry FAQ About Index Women Journalists in Hindi Films: Stereotyping the stereotypes Subscribe to Saswat Blog By Saswat Pattanayak Literature Review: Not just the films themselves, the writings on the portrayal of women in popular Hindi films have too, long been dictated by assigning extremes—the woman’s prerogatives to belong to a side, of the evil or the virtuous, the vamp or the Madonna. Most authorship have evolved with historical representation of women in Bollywood to lead a discourse on the idealized women figures. Virdi (2003) justifies most studies as the “necessary first step” for providing a rich and abundant characterization of the idealized women figures: passive, victimized, sacrificial, submissive, glorified, static, one-dimensional, and resilient. And then, in her own work, she goes no further than the “first step”, by limiting to content-analysis of three films to study the women representation. Hindi cinema has been a major point of reference for Indian culture in this century. It has shaped and expressed the changing scenarios of modern India to an extent that no preceding art form could ever achieve. And yet, the diversity in roles that women play is not aptly brought to examination either by the post colonial discoursers or the film studies intelligentsia. Gopalan (2000) leads discussion on the avenging women in Indian cinema. She argues that discussions of violence have to consider how films replete with avenging women, gangsters, brutal police force and vigilante closures stage some of the most volatile struggles over representations that shape the public and private fantasies of national, communal, regional and sexual identities.

  • Teaching Against Essentialism and the ''Culture of Poverty''
    6 TEACHING AGAINST ESSENTIALISM AND THE ‘‘CULTURE OF POVERTY’’ Paul C. Gorski randma tends to stretch vowel sounds, drawing extended air time out of them in her sweet Appalachian twang. Where D.C.-born G folk like me give a door a push, she gives it a poosh. Where I crave candy, she offers sweeter-sounding cane-dee. Her vocabulary, as well, is of a western Maryland mountain variety, unassuming and undisturbed by slangy language or new age idiom. To her, a refrigerator is still a Frigidaire; or, more precisely, a freegeedaire; neighbors live across the way. Her children, including my mother, say she’s never cursed and only occasionally lets fly her fiercest expression: Great day in the mornin’! Despite growing up in poverty, Grandma isn’t uneducated or lacking in contemporary wits, as one might presume based upon the ‘‘culture of pov- erty’’ paradigm that dominates today’s understandings of poverty and schooling in the United States. She graduated first in her high school class. Later, the year she turned 50, she completed college and became a nurse. I’ve never been tempted to ‘‘correct’’ Grandma’s language, nor do I feel embarrassed when she talks about how my Uncle Terry’s gone a’feesheen’. She doesn’t need my diction or vocabulary to give meaning to her world. She certainly doesn’t need to be freed from the grasp of a mythical ‘‘culture of poverty’’ or its fictional ‘‘language registers.’’ What needs a’fixin’ is not Grandma’s dispositions or behaviors, but those of a society that sees only her poverty and, as a result, labels her—the beloved matriarch of an extended 84 Copyright 2012 Stylus Publishing, LLC www.Styluspub.com ................

  • Global Reconfigurations of Poverty and the Public: Anthropological Perspectives and Ethnographic Challenges
    Global Reconfigurations of Poverty and the Public: Anthropological perspectives and ethnographic challenges Responsible Institution: Department of Social Anthropology, University of Bergen (UiB) Disciplines: Social Anthropology, History, Cultural Studies, Sociology Course Leader: Vigdis Broch-Due, Professor of International Poverty Research, Department of Social Anthropology, University of Bergen Invited Course Leaders: Jean Comaroff, Professor of Anthropology and of Social Sciences, Department of Anthropology, University of Chicago Akhil Gupta, Professor and Chair, IDP South Asian Studies Department of Anthropology and International Institute, UCLA Alice O'Connor, Associate Professor,Department of History, University of California, Santa Barbara & Director for the programs on Persistent Urban Poverty and International Migration at the Social Science Research Council (USA) Course Description: “The Poor”, - a group figuring so prominently in contemporary media and the discourses of aid, human rights and global insecurity, in fact consist largely of the classical subjects of anthropology. While anthropologists continue to produce ethnography about the specificities of different peoples, few address the problems that arise when all that cultural diversity is subsumed under the headings “Poverty” or “the Poor”. Anthropologists who do address questions of poverty are often sidelined in increasingly globalised policy debates that set quantitative “goals” and seek measurable formulae for attaining them. Why are anthropologists vocal on the plight of distinct peoples but silent or marginalized on the subject of the “the poor”? How do we research, theorize, let alone compose ethnographies, which focus on such a diffuse, standardised, globalised entity as “poverty” and “the poor”? Should we? And what are the consequences of remaining on the sidelines? These questions outline the analytical challenges of this PhD course.

  • “Absolutely Sort of Normal”: the Common Origins of the War on Poverty at Home and Abroad, 1961-1965
    “ABSOLUTELY SORT OF NORMAL”: THE COMMON ORIGINS OF THE WAR ON POVERTY AT HOME AND ABROAD, 1961-1965 by DANIEL VICTOR AKSAMIT B.A., UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, 2005 M.A., KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY, 2009 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Abstract Scholars identify the early 1960s as the moment when Americans rediscovered poverty – as the time when Presidents, policymakers, and the public shifted their attention away from celebrating the affluence of the 1950s and toward directly helping poor people within the culture of poverty through major federal programs such as the Peace Corps and Job Corps. This dissertation argues that this moment should not be viewed as a rediscovery of poverty by Americans. Rather, it should be viewed as a paradigm shift that conceptually unified the understanding of both foreign and domestic privation within the concept of a culture of poverty. A culture of poverty equally hindered poor people all around the world, resulting in widespread illiteracy in India and juvenile delinquency in Indianapolis. Policymakers defined poverty less by employment rate or location (rural poverty in Ghana versus inner-city poverty in New York) and more by the cultural values of the poor people (apathy toward change, disdain for education, lack of planning for the future, and desire for immediate gratification). In a sense, the poor person who lived in the Philippines and the one who lived in Philadelphia became one. They suffered from the same cultural limitations and could be helped through the same remedy.

  • 'Culture of Poverty' Makes a Comeback
    ‘Culture of Poverty’ Makes a Comeback By PATRICIA COHEN, Published: October 17, 2010 NYTImes WebSite For more than 40 years, social scientists investigating the causes of poverty have tended to treat cultural explanations like Lord Voldemort: That Which Must Not Be Named. The reticence was a legacy of the ugly battles that erupted after Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then an assistant labor secretary in the Johnson administration, introduced the idea of a “culture of poverty” to the public in a startling 1965 report. Although Moynihan didn’t coin the phrase (that distinction belongs to the anthropologist Oscar Lewis), his description of the urban black family as caught in an inescapable “tangle of pathology” of unmarried mothers and welfare dependency was seen as attributing self-perpetuating moral deficiencies to black people, as if blaming them for their own misfortune. Moynihan’s analysis never lost its appeal to conservative thinkers, whose arguments ultimately succeeded when President Bill Clinton signed a bill in 1996 “ending welfare as we know it.” But in the overwhelmingly liberal ranks of academic sociology and anthropology the word “culture” became a live grenade, and the idea that attitudes and behavior patterns kept people poor was shunned. Now, after decades of silence, these scholars are speaking openly about you-know-what, conceding that culture and persistent poverty are enmeshed. “We’ve finally reached the stage where people aren’t afraid of being politically incorrect,” said Douglas S. Massey, a sociologist at Princeton who has argued that Moynihan was unfairly maligned. … The topic has generated interest on Capitol Hill because so much of the research intersects with policy debates.
