  • Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants
    Contesting Nationalisms: Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants By Oluwakemi Monsurat Balogun A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and in the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Paola Bacchetta Professor Ann Swidler Professor Barrie Thorne Professor Michael Watts Fall 2012 2012 Copyright Oluwakemi Monsurat Balogun Abstract Contesting Nationalisms: Gender, Globalization, and Cultural Representation in Nigerian Beauty Pageants by Oluwakemi Monsurat Balogun Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and in the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair Over the last five decades, Nigeria has moved from being a nation enjoying its new post-colonial independence to a nation self-consciously placed within the international political economy. In this dissertation, I show how the complexity and tensions of this shift have helped shape, and are reflected in the Nigerian beauty pageant industry. Drawing on a case study of three beauty pageants, two national and one international, I compare the production, symbolism, and political controversies surrounding each pageant and the way it represents the Nigerian nation. I use these cases to argue that national identity exists at multiple levels and is constructed through and towards both national and international audiences. Organizers, contestants, corporate sponsors, fans and opposition groups manage and present the nation through pageants. They negotiate between highlighting cultural diversity within the country and displaying a shared national culture in a global world.
