  • Arab American Literature and the Ethnic American Landscape: Language, Identity, and Community
    Arab American Literature and the Ethnic American Landscape: Language, Identity, and Community A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Niven Herro, B.A., M.A. July 2018 Committee Chair: Jennifer Glaser, Ph.D. Committee Members: Lisa Hogeland, Ph.D., Laura Micciche, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation explores the works of contemporary Arab American women writers with a focus on language, identity, and community. I am especially interested in the ways in which the Arab American immigrant experience mirrors that of other ethnic American groups, as demonstrated in their literatures. First, I argue that Randa Jarrar’s debut novel, A Map of Home (2008), which uses language—both Arabic and English—as a source of empowerment, reflects Chicana writer Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of the “new mestiza consciousness.” Comparing the Chinatown community in Fae Myenne Ng’s Bone (1993), to the Muslim community in Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2006), reveals the complicated relationships the novels’ characters have with their communities. In both novels, the personal development of their young women protagonists is greatly influenced by their respective communities, which simultaneously serve as positive sites of support and complex sites of difficult negotiations. While the characters in A Map of Home and The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf ultimately learn to effectively navigate their hybrid subject positions as both Arabs and Americans, the failure to do so leads to a tragic end for the couple at the center of Laila Halaby’s Once in a Promised Land.

For Ummi and Abbi: I love you both. ABSTRACT: This thesis uses the case study of the Arab-Islamic Fulla doll to examine the relationships among globalization, consumption and cultural identities. Beginning with the question of how cultural products like the Fulla doll come to exist, I argue that the Fulla doll serves as an example of the process of creolization whereby non-Western peoples mobilize local customs and beliefs to transform globally-distributted consumer goods, thus re-contextualizing and assigning new meanings to these goods. Through an analysis of thirteen animated Fulla doll advertisements, I argue that the Barbie doll’s ethnic, religious and gendered identity has been re-contextualized to transform her into an Arab-Muslim woman, the Fulla doll.

Leslie-Jacobsen and Joseph S. Hopkins Published by Folklore Studies / Dept. of Philosophy, History, Culture and Art Studies University of Helsinki, Helsinki 1 RMN Newsletter is a medium of contact and communication for members of the Retrospective Methods Network (RMN). The RMN is an open network which can include anyone who wishes to share in its focus. It is united by an interest in the problems, approaches, strategies and limitations related to considering some aspect of culture in one period through evidence from another, later period. Such comparisons range from investigating historical relationships to the utility of analogical parallels, and from comparisons across centuries to developing working models for the more immediate traditions behind limited sources. RMN Newsletter sets out to provide a venue and emergent discourse space in which individual scholars can discuss and engage in vital cross- disciplinary dialogue, present reports and announcements of their own current activities, and where information about events, projects and institutions is made available.

  • Fulla's and Barbie's Images in Relation to Women's Beauty
    158 Paradigma, Jurnal Kajian Budaya Fulla’s and Barbie’s Images in Relation to Women’s Beauty, Juwita Anindya 159 FULLA’S AND BARBie’S IMAGES IN RELATION TO Women’S BEAUTY AND CULTURAL DIffERENCE Juwita Anindya Abstract Most people know Barbie, a doll that conveys some values about culture and about the concept of women’s beauty. However, Barbie only represents one specific culture, which is Western culture. Different with Western culture, Eastern culture needs a doll who can represent their values. Then, Fulla appears as the representative of Eastern beauty. Fulla conveys some values about Eastern culture and about the new concept of women’s beauty which are different from Barbie. Fulla’s appearance here is thought can emphasize the cultural differences among the society, but it can give another choice to shape people’s new thought about the beauty of Eastern culture. Using Said’s orientalism will help the writer to support the arguments about Eastern culture that can be an equal competitor to Western culture nowadays. Keywords Barbie, Fulla, concept of beauty, cultural differences, orientalism INTRODUCTION The main aim of this paper is to analyze the differences between Fulla and Barbie dolls in relation to women’s beauty, and how those differences can further emphasize the cultural differences between east and west. The thought that western culture is more modern and better still exist nowadays. As we know, Fulla and Barbie are different, but actually both offer some ideas of beauty. Barbie gives the description of beauty with a thin body, long legs, blond hair, and fair skin.

BUDIYANTO Dear readers – It is with great pleasure that we present the 2009 issue of EXPLORATIONS graduate student journal of Southeast Asian studies. The following pages touch on a diverse array of topics, from Muslim dolls to a dark period between those darker in Cambodia’s history to linguistic code-switching in Malay to the sea people who call Southeast Asian waters home. Equally diverse are the authors and editors who contributed to this issue, a committed group of burgeoning Southeast Asianists hailing from countries around the globe. In a long list of people to thank, they certainly are the first who come to mind. Their dedication and patience in bringing this journal to print are greatly appreciated. We are equally obliged to Kelli Swazey and Margaret Bodemer, the past editors of EXPLORATIONS, for entrusting us with the journal. Their foresight and organization allowed us to step directly into the operation of what was already a well-oiled machine. Dr. Barbara Andaya and Dr. Liam Kelley provided indispensable faculty support, and we also thank the University of Hawai‘i’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies for sharing their resources, their office, and the assistance of their very talented Outreach Coordinator Paul Rausch. Christian Razukas is the man behind the layout magic, and his many sleepless nights will not be soon forgotten.

It places the Islamic abaya in the UAE in the context of the wider literature on fashion and identity, exploring the way in which clothing features and forms can prescribe ideas, values and attitudes, and fram- ing this discussion within newer ideas on globalization. As Roland Barthes argued, it is not so much personal choice or diversity in fashion that is of interest, but the kinds of values and expected behaviours that they imply. The abaya, on the one hand, represents a more newly arrived idea of tra- ditional, local and religious identity, linking to some extent to an imagined sense of a monolithic notion of Islamic clothing. But, on the other hand, this is itself reformulated locally through international representations, ideas and values, and integrated with newer ideas of taste. KEYWORDS abaya • clothing semiotics • discourse • fashion • globalization • identity • Islamic fashion • Middle East • multimodality • semiotics INTRODUCTION Roland Barthes (1983: 33) argued that what is of interest in regard to fashion is not the diversity of clothing items, as it is dealt with in most literature on fash- ion history, nor the way clothing points to manners of personal expression, but the relativity of the values that they signify.

  • Fulla, the Cover-Up Girl. Identity Politics Via a Doll?
    Fulla, the Cover-up Girl. Identity Politics via a Doll? Martha Frederiks Introduction In 2003 the Syrian company NewBoy presented a new product: Fulla, an ‘Islamic’ Barbie-type doll. Since the launch of the doll, Fulla has been a resounding success, businesswise as well as toy-wise. Over 2 million dolls have been sold, making Fulla a top commodity in the Middle Eastern toy market.1 In 2009 the doll was also introduced in Western Europe, with the Dutch company Little Muslims serving as distributor for the European market.2 Central to the Fulla success is the attempt of manufacturer NewBoy to pro- mote, via the doll, a model identity for young Muslim girls. This is done through a widespread advertisement campaign, featuring Fulla billboards, Fulla clips and narratives on the internet and Fulla-advertisements during prime-time television for children. In 2008 NewBoy had spent an estimated 100 million dollar on the advertisement campaign.3 The appearance of the doll on the shelves of toy-stores has met with much resistance. Many consider the doll to be a “symbol of Islamic revivalism”.4 The 1 ‘What’s up with the Fulla Phenomenon’ (December 27, 2009), at: www.fullashop.eu (March 22, 2010). Note: All narratives of the Fulla campaign referred to in this contribution were accessed via the European Fulla site www.fullashop.eu (March 22, 2010). The dates in brack- ets indicate the publication date of the narrative on the site. Though Fulla is a top-selling toy, the sales are modest compared to Mattel’s Barbie. According to M.J.

  • Fulla, the Veiled Barbie: an Analysis of Cultural Imperialism and Agency
    MAI Review, 2008, 2, Santa Cruz Report Fulla, the veiled Barbie: An analysis of cultural imperialism and agency Renée Terrebonne Abstract: Fulla is a doll that can be seen as a complicated figure of both Western and Eastern iconographies. This essay aims to disentangle the complexities of a doll like Fulla by examining the historical processes that created it in the light of Islamic revivalism in Syria and the Middle East. The question of how this analysis relates to the Western figure of Barbie is then explored by describing the capitalist endeavors of Mattel, Barbie’s manufacturer. This analysis of Barbie is then developed into an explanation of how Fulla could be seen as an extension of capitalist markets to include the larger Islamic revivalism sweeping over the Middle East. To conclude, I will consider Fulla as a possible place of agency for young girls and women alike, using an analysis drawn from a large study on the reception of McDonald’s in East Asia. Keywords: Barbie doll; cultural imperialism; feminist studies; Muslim; native consumer In 2003, after four years of design, a Syrian company called Newboy Design Studio introduced a new doll that sparked both controversy and immense popularity. This Barbie look-alike doll was named ‘Fulla’ (Zoepf, 2005). Designed with two outdoor fashions, Fulla wears either a black head-to-toe outfit called an abaya and a black headscarf (marketed to more conservative Middle Eastern countries in the Persian Gulf region); or a fashionable white or light blue long coat with a white headscarf which was marketed to more liberal countries in the Eastern Mediterranean area (Nelson, 2005).
