  • Beware the Bearded Woman
    BEWARE THE BEARDED WOMAN: FREAKS, THE FEMALE BODY, AND NON-RECOGNITION Teresa Milbrodt A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: William Albertini, Chair Lawrence Coates ii ABSTRACT William Albertini, Chair This thesis explores the concept of recognizable and non-recognizable bodies through examining representations of female freaks in literature. Bodies must be recognizable in order to be considered human, yet the non-recognizable body or freakish body offers alternate possibilities of embodiment that are usually overlooked. This thesis focuses on what happens when the non-recognizable female freak is in the public gaze and the gaze among intimates. Both of these spaces are ambivalent spaces for the female freak in which she finds simultaneous danger and power, identification and manipulation. In these texts the public space is one in which the female freak may find both economic and erotic power, yet allowing her body to been seen puts her in danger from the seer. The female freak cannot control the gaze of the audience, which can lead to her body being objectified, or risk physical harm. In more intimate spaces in which the female freak is among family and friends, her body may be recognizable because she is with people who are similarly embodied, but she may also be in danger from intimates who wish to dictate what she can and cannot do with her body. The intimate space is also the space in which the female freak can shape her own body and define her own aesthetic and personal erotic.

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida December 2015 Copyright 2015 by Céline Guillerm ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The seed of this dissertation was planted during my first year enrolled as a doctoral student, when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

I am forever grateful for her patience and encouragement, and for always being available. I also would like to thank Dr. Munson and Dr. Blattner for serving on my committee. Thank you for believing in me and encouraging me all these years. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, my sisters, my nieces and my nephew, my grandmother, my uncle, and my dear friends for their love and support. I love you. iv ABSTRACT Author: Céline Guillerm Title: A Feminist Cultural Study of Identity, Hair Loss, and Chemotherapy Institution: Florida Atlantic University Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Christine Scodari Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Year: 2015 The main aim of this dissertation is to discuss the way women negotiate the cultural meaning of hair loss, alopecia, as a result of undergoing chemotherapy, and to understand, accordingly, how cancer’s cultural effects regarding women can be deeply different from those of men.

  • THE LESSER PARTS of the TORAH (LAW) EXPLAINED by George Lujack
    THE LESSER PARTS OF THE TORAH (LAW) EXPLAINED By George Lujack The lesser parts of the Torah (law) have been declared as burdensome and obsolete by mainstream Christians, and have often been used as an excuse to declare that all of God’s ‘Mosaic laws’ are abolished. In these end times, some Christian ministers have been saying that God’s Ten Commandments need to be done away with also. This article will discuss some of the lesser parts of God’s laws, explain how they apply to us today, and address how some of these laws have been misinterpreted and incorrectly practiced. HEAD SHAVING LEVITICUS 19:27: You shall not shave around the sides of your head … LEVITICUS 21:5: They shall not make any bald place on their heads… Tonsure is known as the practice of shaving most of the male scalp and leaving a ring of hair around the head. This was a specific practice within medieval Catholicism, which was abandoned by a papal order in 1972. Tonsure is still practiced today by some religious orders within Catholicism, the Eastern Orthodox Church, Buddhist monks, Islamists, and Hindus. The purpose of the tonsure head shaved hairstyle is to show a renunciation of worldliness, display humbleness, and devotion to one’s religious order. God has commanded man to not shave around the sides of his head. God does not accept this form of piousness for obvious spiritual reasons. Shaving around the scalp and the sides of the head gives a man a halo image. God’s law does not allow for a false image of holiness, a halo effect to be projected upon a man, which constitutes a form of idolatry.
