Khutulun deserves her own place in history However, even among the standards of all those powerful Mongol women, Khutulun writes a distinct place for herself. Born aboutKhutulun, was the great-great granddaughter of Genghis Khan and a legend in her own right. Unlike her cousin, the emperor Kublai Khan, who relished the comfort and luxuries of the Chinese court, Khutulun chose the rough, nomadic lifestyle — the traditional Mongol way of life. Benevolently imaged as beautiful, and much sought after by men, Khutulun was a woman of extraordinary strength. She mastered the Mongol arts of horse-riding, archery, and wrestling where she eventually became the champion wrestler whom no man could defeat. She also transcended at the cardinal Mongol vocation of warfare. However, it is important to note that it was not unusual for Mongolians to see women on horses or dealing with bows and arrows, but what made Khutulun an anomaly was her excellence, the refinement of her skills among many of her likes. Her father, Qaidu Khan, awarded her a gergee a medal of office that stated the power of the holder as an acknowledgement of her power and independence. She is the only woman recorded to have received that, as it was an authority usually The Warriors Princess for men. Khutulun outperformed all her fourteen brothers since a very early age. It was Khutulun who chose to be the military commander instead, perhaps The Warriors Princess avoid her brothers enmity. Qaidu Khan not only trusted Khutulun on the battlefield, but he also relied on her for advice and support regarding The Warriors Princess administration of the government and the Kingdom. Having been largely victorious on the battlefield and in The Warriors Princess, Khutulun refused to marry until a potential suitor defeated her in wrestling. To compete against her, the opponents had to wager The Warriors Princess horses. If they won, they could marry Khutulun, and if they lost, they had to give away the horses. Many men came forward, but none of them could succeed, and in a follow up, Khutulun kept increasing the size of her herd. According to Marco Polo, a particularly handsome and wealthy prince presented The Warriors Princess for the contest. The anonymous bachelor wagered a thousand horses. Anxious for her marriage, her parents insisted Khutulun to let the prince win. For the love of her parents Khutulun agreed, however, in the rush of competitive excitement she forgot her promise and walked from the match, a thousand horses richer. In the face of humiliation, the handsome prince disappeared, leaving behind the additional thousand horses for her herd. Owing to her unusual way of life, gossips and rumors circled Khutulun — not only from the political and military enemies who could not defeat her, but also the historians and messengers of her time. They alleged that she maintained an incestuous relationship with her father, and therefore would take no man as her husband. To this day, it is unclear and highly debatable as to whom she married, but one thing that remains constant was that she remained undefeated as a wrestler. Liked this post?

The series aired in first-run syndication from September 4, to June 18, Writer-director-producer Robert Tapert created the series in under his production tag, Renaissance PicturesThe Warriors Princess executive The Warriors Princess R. Stewart who developed the series along with Tapert and Sam Raimi. The series narrative follows Xena played by Lucy Lawlessan infamous warrior on a quest to seek redemption for her past sins against the innocent by using her formidable fighting skills to now help those who are unable to defend themselves. The show is a spin-off of the television series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys ; [4] the saga began with three episodes in Hercules where Xena was a recurring character originally scheduled to die in her third appearance. Aware that the character of Xena had become very successful The Warriors Princess the public, the producers of the series decided to launch a spin-off series based on her adventures. Xena became a successful show which has aired in more than countries around the world since The series soared past its predecessor in ratings and in popularity. For all six years, Xena remained in the The Warriors Princess five. In AugustNBC announced The Warriors Princess it had cancelled its plans for the reboot for the foreseeable future. Xena: Warrior Princess is set primarily in a fantasy version of ancient Greece sometimes alluding to Roman Greece and was filmed in New Zealand. The Ancient Greece depicted in the show is largely derived from historical locations and customs, modifying known places and events — battles, trading routes, towns, and so on — to generate an attractive fictional world. The Warriors Princess settlements are presented as a mixture of walled villages and rural hamlets set in a lush green, mountainous landscape. They are often seen under attack from warlords, and travelling between them involves frequent encounters with small bands of outlaws. All of the main towns are named after historic towns of Ancient Greece, and exhibit some of their essential characteristics — Amphipolis birthplace of Xena [16]Potidaea birthplace of Gabrielle [17]Athens birthplace of Joxer [18]CorinthDelphiand Cirra birthplace of Callisto The Warriors Princess which was burnt to the ground by Xena's army. As the show progressed, however, events took place throughout more modern times and places, from Cleopatra 's Alexandria to Julius Caesar 's Rome. The mythology of the show transitioned from that of the Olympian Gods to include Judeo-Christian elements. Eastern religions were touched on as well, with little regard to accurate time-and-place concerns. One episode, "The Way", which loosely interpreted elements of Hinduism as major plot points, generated controversy, requiring the producers to add a disclaimer at the head of the episode and a tag explaining the episode's intentions at its end. Mythological and supernatural locations are presented as equally real, The Warriors Princess places, often accessed through physical portals hidden in the landscape such as lakes and caves. The inhabitants of such places — gods, mythological beings and forces — are for the most part manifested as human characters who can move at will between their domains and the real world. Aresthe Greek God of War, for The Warriors Princess, is an egotistical man who wears studded black leather, and AphroditeGoddess of Love, is a The Warriors Princess valley girl who uses typical valley girl slang and dresses in flowing, translucent pink gowns. Xena is a historical fantasy set primarily in ancient Greecealthough the setting is flexible in both time and location and occasionally features Egyptian[21] IndianChineseCentral Asian[22] and Medieval European [ citation needed ] elements. The flexible fantasy framework of the show accommodates a considerable range of theatrical styles, from high melodrama to slapstick comedy, from whimsical and musical [23] to all-out action and adventure. While the show is typically set in ancient times, its themes are essentially modern and it The Warriors Princess the ideas The Warriors Princess taking responsibility for past The Warriors Princess, the value of human life, personal liberty and sacrifice, and friendship. The show often addresses ethical dilemmas, such as the morality of pacifism ; however, the storylines rarely seek to provide unequivocal solutions. Xena freely borrows names and themes from various mythologies around the world, primarily the Greekanachronistically adapting them to suit the demands of the storyline. Historical figures and events from a number of The Warriors Princess historical eras and myths make numerous appearances, and the main characters are often credited with resolving important historical situations. These include an encounter with Homer before he was famous, in which Gabrielle encourages his storytelling aspirations; [24] the fall of Troy ; [25] and the capture of Caesar by pirates, with Xena cast as the pirate leader. Competing religions are treated as compatible and co-existent in a henotheistic world, allowing the Greek Pantheon to live side by side with the Norse GodsIndian DeitiesThe Warriors Princess "God of Love" and others. Each god, or The Warriors Princess of gods, The Warriors Princess a different part of the world, and in the show survives only while people believe in it. In seasons four and five, the Greek people gradually transfer their faith from the Greek Gods to the "God of Love" over a period of about 25 years, and as their power fades, the Greek Gods are almost all killed off in a The Warriors Princess battle.

    “WE’RE ALL IN SOMEBODY ELSE’S HEAD”: CONSTRUCTING HISTORY AND IDENTITY IN XENA A Thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree A3 Master of Arts E_OGiL In English: Literature by Rvann Mackenzie Lannan San Francisco. California January 2018 Copyright by Rvann Mackenzie Lannan 2018 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read “’We’re all in somebody else’s head’: Constructing History and Identity in Xena ” by Ryann Mackenzie Lannan, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in English: Literature at San Francisco State University. Geoffrey Green, Ph.D. Professor “We’re all in somebody else’s head”: Constructing History and Identity in Ryann Mackenzie Lannan San Francisco, California 2017 My thesis analyzes the construction of history and identity in the pop-culture television show Xena: Warrior Princess ( XWP ). I argue that the implicit allegory of XWP shows us that history and identity exist as interpretable and revisable narratives. I use the character Gabrielle’s chronicling of Xena’s adventures to show how historical narratives are consciously constructed by historians to tell one specific version of events. I then use her mediation of the major characters to depict how historians also construct the characters of history. I then show that similarly, all people read and are read by others, and that these readings influence identity construction. XWP shows that identity originates outside the self and is a product of constant dialog between the self and the other.

Abstract This thesis is written to promote and pursue an understanding of lesbian fandom and its function on the Internet. It will demonstrate how a particular television text Xena: Warrior Princess (X: WP) and a dedicated online fandom „xenasubtexttalk‟ (XSTT) of diverse lesbian fan membership gained empowerment and agency through their fan practices. Since the screening of the television fantasy series X: WP (1995-2001), there has been a marked increase in academic enquiry into lesbian fan culture on the Internet. This thesis contributes to the lesbian spectatorship of fandom with a specific interest in online fandom. This research suggests there are many readings of X: WP and the dedicated websites set up to discuss the series have increased during and post the series broadcast period.

  • Retorica Da Midia
    Os pergaminhos de Amphipolis 1 Aforismos meta narrativos sobre a saga da Princesa Guerreira 2 Marcelo Bolshaw GOMES Resumo O presente texto detalha e analisa a releitura meta narrativa de diferentes mitologias realizadas pelo seriado de TV Xena, a princesa Guerreira. O objetivo é identificar algumas características narrativas: os universos múltiplos, a morte, a vida sem inimigos. Conclui-se que o mito das moiras, representando as estruturas narrativas do tempo, se tornou o antagonista do anti-herói pós-moderno. Palavras chave: Comunicação midiática. Estudos narrativos da televisão. Introdução A 'Jornada do Herói' como processo iniciático é uma viagem eminentemente masculina, refletindo um contexto cultural patriarcal. 'Iniciação' é um rito de passagem, em que um jovem torna-se membro adulto de uma determinada comunidade. Nas lendas que expressam esses processos, os heróis são sempre homens, enfrentando situações masculinas: lutando pela justiça e pela verdade. As mulheres, nessas estórias, correspondem ao Sagrado Feminino ou 'anima narrativa', isto é, à representação projetada dos valores femininos do narrador (mediação entre autor e leitor) no interior da narrativa. Com isso, elas, ou são meras coadjuvantes, sequestradas pelo dragão e resgatadas para o casamento alquímico final; e/ou então se associam com o mal e seus vilões, dificultando a vida do herói. Há também estórias em que a mulher é a protagonista em um universo com valores masculinos, como a estória de Joana D'Arc, por exemplo. Por isso, contar uma estória iniciática (uma jornada heroica) em que a mulher e os valores femininos sejam os protagonistas e o aspecto cognitivo masculino seja minimizado sempre foi um desafio narrativo presente para vários contares de estórias.

  • Rewriting Xena: Warrior Princess
    Rewriting Xena: Warrior Princess Resistance to representations of gender, ethnicity, class and sexuality in fanfiction Name: H.C.J.M. Spierings Student Number: 0134066 Supervisors: Dr. M. Zarzycka Dr. N. Stienstra Date: August 2007 Institution: Utrecht University Faculty of Arts English language and culture Preface Anyone in academia, especially those who have written theses or dissertations, can attest to the emotional components of supposedly rational activity. A figure or topic can become the focal point of one’s life; anything even remotely connected to one’s research interest can have tremendous impact and obsessive appeal. (Jenson, 1992, p.21) Nevertheless, the result can be most gratifying: a thesis about a woman who carries ‘a round throwy thingy’, her sidekick, a Greek setting with an American accent, a performance in six acts, and the vernacular epos of thousands of fans who know that ‘the quill is mightier than the sword’. Gabrielle: “No one gives me credit for anything and everyone thinks I’m a silly sidekick.” Xena: “Gabrielle, from now on I’m going to make sure that you get a lot more credit for the things you do, that’s a promise.” ( 3.18 ‘Fins, Femmes, Gems’) Thank you: Dr. Marta Zarzycka, my supervisor, for your insight, constructive and much appreciated advice, and for keeping me on track. Dr. Nelly Stienstra, my second supervisor, for taking the time and effort to read this work and provide me with useful comments. Petra de Jong, for taking the time to talk to me and inform me about the world of Xenites, and for lending me two, for her as precious as for me useful, books.
