  • Bippity-Boppity-Boo!; Becoming a Princess at Fairytale Land”
    Culture | Volume 1 Issue 1 | May 2017 13 Gina Jibran Once upon a time becoming a princess occurred only when marrying a prince. Nowadays, the yearning to become a princess satisfies more than obtaining the status. Pretending to be a princess is seen to be just as fulfilling. What is it about being a princess that brings contentment? Specifically, what is it about wearing an oversized dress and a tiara that makes life more fascinating for young girls? Disney fairytales such as Snow White and Cinderella have helped popularize the motif of princesses. Girls can buy Cinderella costumes or visit their favourite princess at Disneyland. This helps create the notion that becoming a princess is something to be desired. It is important to note, that life as a princess is hardly ever visited in stories such as Grimm’s Little Snow‐White, or even Disney’s Cinderella. In fact, these tales end right after a girl marries prince charming and obtains the princess status. The sole insight readers gain about life as a princess is that, ‘they lived happily ever after’—a sentence stated at the end of many Disney fairytales. The company Fairytale Land, demonstrates how contemporary society recreates the princess motif. The ability to facilitate the transformation of a young girl to become a princess is promoted at Fairytale Land. Fairytale Land, however, distorts Disney’s focus on becoming a princess into a process whereby young girls are allowed to live that life of luxury. In the focus on being a princess, one then fixates on contemporary female ideals of beauty.

  • Exploring the Relationship Between Skin Tone and Self-Esteem Among Females in South Asian Families in India: a Multigenerational Comparison
    Exploring the Relationship between Skin Tone and Self-Esteem Among Females in South Asian Families in India: A Multigenerational Comparison by Priya Lena Sharda A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Priya Lena Sharda, 2020 i Exploring the Relationship Between Skin Tone and Self-Esteem Among Females in South Asian Families in India: A Multigenerational Comparison Priya Lena Sharda Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto 2020 Abstract Colourism or skin colour stratification is a persistent dilemma for people in India. Socially and culturally constructed definitions of beauty based on skin tone, represent Western realities and continue to sustain beauty ideals that shape the beliefs and practices around fair skin for women. The study of skin tone and its relationship to self-esteem is essential in expanding upon the limited research examining the intersections between body image and the sociocultural experiences of South Asian Indian women. Against the backdrop of Western hegemony, the research discusses how a fair skin beauty ideal impacts different generations of women in New Delhi. More specifically, investigating the relationship between skin tone and self-esteem among women in South Asian families through a multigenerational comparison, provides a deeper understanding of how skin tone bias is perpetuated, while reinforcing and normalizing white heteropatriarchy. Skin tone bias is disseminated through the family, culture and media. The narratives highlight how skin tone bias manifests itself among adult women in different South Asian family units according to their life stage and membership in the family.

    Tolkien’s Women: The Medieval Modern in The Lord of the Rings Jon Michael Darga Tolkien’s Women: The Medieval Modern in The Lord of the Rings by Jon Michael Darga A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2014 © 2014 Jon Michael Darga For my cohort, for the support and for the laughter Acknowledgements My thanks go, first and foremost, to my advisor Andrea Zemgulys. She took a risk agreeing to work with a student she had never met on a book she had no academic experience in, and in doing so she gave me the opportunity of my undergraduate career. Andrea knew exactly when to provide her input and when it was best to prod and encourage me and then step out of the way; yet she was always there if I needed her, and every book that she recommended opened up a significant new argument that changed my thesis for the better. The independence and guidance she gave me has resulted in a project I am so, so proud of, and so grateful to her for. I feel so lucky to have had an advisor who could make me laugh while telling me how badly my thesis needed work, who didn’t judge me when I came to her sleep-deprived or couldn’t express myself, and who shared my passion through her willingness to join and guide me on this ride. Her constant encouragement kept me going. I also owe a distinct debt of gratitude to Gillian White, who led my cohort during the fall semester.

  • Abstract Rereading Female Bodies in Little Snow-White
    ABSTRACT REREADING FEMALE BODIES IN LITTLE SNOW-WHITE: INDEPENDENCE AND AUTONOMY VERSUS SUBJUGATION AND INVISIBILITY By Dianne Graf In this thesis, the circumstances and events that motivate the Queen to murder Snow-White are reexamined. Instead of confirming the Queen as wicked, she becomes the protagonist.

  • Clary Fray's Femininity and Masculinity the Main Female Character in Cassandra Clare’S Novel "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones"
    Allusion, Volume 06 No 01 February 2017, 52-57 Clary Fray's Femininity and Masculinity the Main Female Character in Cassandra Clare’s Novel "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" Alda Fakhrizal Khafidzy Usma Nur Dian Rosyidah English Department, Universitas Airlangga Abstract Gender is a cultural concept constructed by society to define man and woman. This study aims to analyze the gender performance of the main female character in Cassandra Clare's "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones." Clary Fray, the female protagonist who is determined to save her missing mother, is portrayed as a feminine-masculine character through her performance by joining Shadowhunter. As the qualitative method and Gender Performativity by Judith Butler are applied to the discussion, the study discovers that Clary Fray learns to behave in a certain way by imitating some figures to attain a certain ideal of beauty in order to be accepted by society. Keywords: femininity, gender performance, masculinity 1. Introduction Femininity and masculinity are terms for gender identity used in society to define man or woman. Gender and sex are completely different things. Gender refers to cultural concepts which attempt to make a distinction in terms of roles, behavior, mentality, and emotional characteristics of men and women in society while sex is a biological organ. Therefore, it is expected for a male to respond to masculine traits and behave like a man while female define themselves as feminine and behave like a woman. According to Jan E. Stets and Peter J. Burke, it is possible whether female define herself as masculine or male define himself as feminine.

  • When I Open My Eyes, I'm Floating in the Air in an Inky, Black Void. the Air Feels Cold to the Touch, My Body Shivering As I Instinctively Hugged Myself
    When I open my eyes, I'm floating in the air in an inky, black void. The air feels cold to the touch, my body shivering as I instinctively hugged myself. My first thought was that this was an awfully vivid nightmare and that someone must have left the AC on overnight. I was more than a little alarmed when I wasn't quite waking up, and that pinching myself had about the same amount of pain as it would if I did it normally. A single star twinkled into existence in the empty void, far and away from reach. Then another. And another. Soon, the emptiness was full of shining stars, and I found myself staring in wonder. I had momentarily forgotten about the biting cold at this breath-taking sight before a wooden door slammed itself into my face, making me fall over and land on a tile ground. I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before. Also, OW. Standing up and not having much better to do, I opened the door. Inside was a room with several televisions stacked on top of each other, with a short figure wrapped in a blanket playing on an old NES while seven different games played out on the screen. They turned around and looked at me, blinking twice with a piece of pocky in their mouth. I stared at her. She stared back at me. Then she picked up a controller laying on the floor and offered it to me. "Want to play?" "So you've been here all alone?" I asked, staring at her in confusion, holding the controller as I sat nearby.

The focus is on leadership and female domination pictures. Just as the role of kings and princes, the role of their female hero is defined. There are strong and weak women, but by a special interest in the contribution is the development of the last of the first to power versus strength. Leadership means to deal with one's own person, 'self-rule, then, of rulers'. In fairy tales, we find different styles of leadership and management tools. As properties of the good boss is praised in particular the decision-making and less the organizational skills.

  • Defining Fantasy
    1 DEFINING FANTASY by Steven S. Long This article is my take on what makes a story Fantasy, the major elements that tend to appear in Fantasy, and perhaps most importantly what the different subgenres of Fantasy are (and what distinguishes them). I’ve adapted it from Chapter One of my book Fantasy Hero, available from Hero Games at www.herogames.com, by eliminating or changing most (but not all) references to gaming and gamers. My insights on Fantasy may not be new or revelatory, but hopefully they at least establish a common ground for discussion. I often find that when people talk about Fantasy they run into trouble right away because they don’t define their terms. A person will use the term “Swords and Sorcery” or “Epic Fantasy” without explaining what he means by that. Since other people may interpret those terms differently, this leads to confusion on the part of the reader, misunderstandings, and all sorts of other frustrating nonsense. So I’m going to define my terms right off the bat. When I say a story is a Swords and Sorcery story, you can be sure that it falls within the general definitions and tropes discussed below. The same goes for Epic Fantasy or any other type of Fantasy tale. Please note that my goal here isn’t necessarily to persuade anyone to agree with me — I hope you will, but that’s not the point. What I call “Epic Fantasy” you may refer to as “Heroic Fantasy” or “Quest Fantasy” or “High Fantasy.” I don’t really care.

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2018 Abstract Works of Epic Fantasy often have the reputation of being formulaic, conservative works that simply replicate the same tired story lines and characters over and over. This assumption prevents Epic Fantasy works from achieving wide critical acceptance resulting in an under-analyzed and under-appreciated genre of literature. While some early works do follow the same narrative path as J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Epic Fantasy has long challenged and reworked these narratives and character tropes. That many works of Epic Fantasy choose replicate the patriarchal structures found in our world is disappointing, but it is not an inherent feature of the genre.
