  • Tibetan Women's Life Writing and the En-Gendering of National History in Exile
    Complex Conformities: Tibetan women’s life writing and the en-gendering of national history in Exile Isabella Heidi Ofner ORCID: 0000-0001-6472-4487 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Abstract This thesis examines the ways in which the life writing of Tibetan women in exile negotiates the place of gender in the (re)writing of Tibetan history, within the larger project of ideological nation building. Located at the intersection of literary, cultural and historical studies, this study is concerned with the alternative histories contained within women’s life stories and their relation to ‘official’ Tibetan national history and the structures of power that maintain the gendered nature of the historical archive in the Tibetan exile community. Engaging questions of gender, nationalism and life writing through the lens of postcolonial feminism, I use a historically contextualized close- textual analysis to show how five selected exile Tibetan women’s life narratives present previously neglected national histories that both challenge and uphold the dominant exile political history of Tibet during the first half of the twentieth century. This research project is thus also an inquiry into our understanding of what constitutes Tibetan national history and the possibility of transforming the Tibetan historical archive, within which women and their histories have mostly remained hidden from view. 1 Table

For a practitioner of such a deep spiritual tradition, he should be realistic and move with changing tunes of time. There is no room for old and outdated practices. Buddha taught a spiritual practice in accordance with the level of intelligence and needs of the people. Moreover, many political changes are taking place in the world. I often say that the world belongs to its nearly seven billion people and not to the kings, religious heads or rulers. Same is the case with individual countries, where the citizens should have power and not the rulers. Likewise, the Tibetan people are the masters of Tibet and not the religious heads or their heirs.

    “TIBET CHIC”: MYTH, MARKETING, SPIRITUALITY AND POLITICS IN MUSICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF TIBET IN THE UNITED STATES by Darinda J. Congdon BM, Baylor, 1997 MA, University of Pittsburgh, 2002 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2007 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Darinda Congdon It was defended on April 18, 2007 and approved by Dr. Nicole Constable Dr. Evelyn S. Rawski Dr. Deane L. Root Dr. Andrew N. Weintraub Dr. Bell Yung Dissertation Director ii Copyright © by Darinda Congdon 2007 iii “TIBET CHIC”: MYTH, MARKETING, SPIRITUALITY AND POLITICS IN MUSICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF TIBET IN THE UNITED STATES Darinda Congdon, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2007 This dissertation demonstrates that Tibetan music in the United States is directly related to multiple Western representations of Tibet in the United States, perpetuated from the 1800s to the present, and that these representations are actively utilized to market Tibetan music. These representations have also impacted the types of sounds most often used to musically represent Tibet in the United States in unexpected ways. This study begins with the question, “What is Tibetan music in the United States?” It then examines Tibetan music in the United States from a historical, political, spiritual and economic perspective to answer that question. As part of this investigation, historical sources, marketing sources, New Age religion, the New York Times, and over one hundred recordings are examined. This work also applies marketing theory to demonstrate that “Tibet” has become a term in American culture that acts as a brand and is used to sell music and other products.
