  • Pussy Riot and the Translatability of Cultures
    transcultural studies 13 (2017) 264-286 brill.com/ts Pussy Riot and the Translatability of Cultures Irina Dzero and Tatyana Bystrova Kent State University [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract The punk feminist collective Pussy Riot translate new ideas by embedding them in the visual symbols of the target culture. With their short bright-colored dresses and tights they tap into the stylistics of the Russian female performance as non-threatening am- biance to take the stage and protest against misogyny and authoritarianism. In 2012 they performed at Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral and asked the Virgin Mary to put an end to Vladimir Putin’s rule. They were captured and sentenced to two years in prison for instigating religious hatred. Welcomed in the West, they made a music video “I Can’t Breathe” (2015) using the case of Eric Garner to explain the tolerance for au- thority in Russia. We look at the eclectic mix of thinkers and artists Pussy Riot named as their inspirers, and use the collective’s work to examine the changing attitude to the translatability of cultures. Keywords Pussy Riot – tolerance for authority – authoritarianism – intercultural translation – performance art Pussy Riot, a Russian punk feminist collective, rose to fame after their “punk prayer” – dancing at the altar at the Moscow Christ the Savior Cathedral and asking the Virgin Mary to “chase away” Vladimir Putin, Russia’s ruler since 2000. This article examines the collective’s work as intercultural translation: they seek to make intelligible bodies of knowledge poorly known or understood in the target culture.

    Challenging Stereotypes How the stereotypical portrayals of Muslims and Islam are challenged through the enemies in Homeland Gunhild-Marie Høie A Thesis Presented to the Departure of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the MA degree University of Oslo Spring 2014 I II Challenging Stereotypes How the stereotypical portrayals of Muslims and Islam are challenged through the enemies in Homeland Gunhild-Marie Høie A Thesis Presented to the Departure of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the MA degree University of Oslo Spring 2014 III © Gunhild-Marie Høie 2014 Challenging Stereotypes: How the stereotypical portrayals of Muslims and Islam are challenged in Homeland. http://www.duo.uio.no Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo IV V Abstract Following the terrorist attack on 9/11, actions and practices of the United States government, as well as the dominant media discourse and non-profit media advertising, contributed to create a post-9/11 climate in which Muslims and Arabs were viewed as non-American. This established a binary paradigm between Americans and Muslims, where Americans represented “us” whereas Muslims represented “them.” Through a qualitative analysis of the main characters in the post-9/11 terrorism-show, Homeland, season one (2011), as well as an analysis of the opening sequence and the overall narrative in the show, this thesis argues that this binary system of “us” and “them” is no longer black and white, but blurred, and hard to define. My analysis indicates that several of the enemies in the show break with the stereotypical portrayal of Muslims as crude, violent fanatics.

For more information, please contact a ValpoScholar staff member at [email protected]. Frankel: Why Do Villains Insist on a Ring? The twist of Harry Potter’s Mirror of Erised is that the only person worthy enough to claim the Philosopher’s Stone hidden within is one who doesn’t desire to use it but is driven to protect it from the villain’s dreams of eternal life and soaring power. This is also the key to Tolkien’s epic: ringbearers Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and even Gollum are (somewhat) protected from the ring because they don’t seek world domination. This theme is also heavily present in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. These fantasy creators, it seems, differentiate their heroes from villains through the defining trait of greed: resisting temptation or gleefully succumbing to it.

" --Buffy in "Once More with Feeling" (6007) 2 Joss Whedon, creator of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has often stated that the series (like his 1992 film of the same name) is based upon a feminist premise. Through the character of Buffy, Whedon hoped to subvert the usual role allotted to women in horror genre films by inserting a capable hero where such films usually present a victim (Whedon, "Commentary").
