  • Bound: Documentation and Home- Making
    (Un)Bound: Documentation and home­ making across national borders Swarthmore College Department of Sociology and Anthropology Senior Honors Thesis Submitted: May 2015 Advised by Professor Farha Ghannam Anushka Suketu Mehta Abstract This thesis explores legal/documented immigrants in the United States, and how they perceive 'home' and their identities in light of their mobility and changing locations. In particular, I am interested in the relationship between meanings of home and documentation, examining questions such as: How do citizenship papers shape feelings of belonging and attachment to a particular country? How do Green cards and passports influence one's mobility and understanding of home? Drawing on studies of flexible citizenship, nationalism, post-nationalism, and liminality, my thesis analyzes the narratives of five immigrant women and explores how they define and view home. It argues that home is best understood as a continuous process of making and remaking that is shaped by multiple forces and discourses. This process is informed by specific histories and socio-economic structures, yet it is not fixed and is open to constant transformation. Analyzing documentation as a form of legal capital that both enables and limits mobilities but that can be converted into other forms (including social, cultural, material and symbolic) of capital, I trace how 'home' is constituted by reworking memories of the past and recalling sensory experiences of the immigrants' home country and/or city and negotiating the social and economic realities of their current positionalities as workers, parents, permanent residents and citizens. 2 Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to Natasha Mehta, A fellow home-searcher, and my partner in all things 'home.' This thesis would not have been possible without the support and guidance of a variety of people.

    Of God and Humans Insights from Bible Stories 聖經故事的靈思 清海無上師 The Supreme Master Ching Hai When I began to wonder about God and the universe, I was very, very young. And I did not know to whom I should ask these very big questions, such as what does God look like? How can I see Hirm? Can I touch Hirm? Can I hug Hirm? (Because I was very small, and I liked to hug.) Many years passed after my first questions to myself, and I did not find the true answer. So I followed my grandma to the Buddhist temple and prayed to the Buddha, and I followed my father to the Christian church to pray to God. I prayed to everyone that I knew of. I tried to read the Buddhist bibles and the Christian scriptures, but I could not understand much. I even slept with the Bible. Every night I would hug the Bible and sleep. And I always prayed to God, saying, “Please, can You show me Yourself? Can You show me Yourself, the highest God, the God above all human barriers, the God above all religious differences, the God above all hatred and racism? Please can You show me? I would like to know You more than anything else.” Somehow I could feel that God was there, but I could not see, and I would have liked to see. So I tried many ways in order to be able to contact Hirm, but I failed. Until one day Hes kind of led me into this spiritual way that Hes told me would be quick so that I could know God.

The present study applies Jonathan Culpeper’s (2011a) model of “impoliteness” supplemented by the notions of jocular mockery, jocular abuse, and recipients’ responses (Bousfield 2008, 2010, Haugh and Bousfield 2012) to the ʾabla fāhīta]) is a puppet character] ﺃﺑﻠﺔ ﻓﺎﻫﻴﺘﺎ :Egyptian TV show Abla Fahita. Abla Fahita (Egyptian Arabic that has regularly appeared on Egyptian television since 2011. The show is hugely popular and has been phenomenally successful, being watched on average by millions, according to the Egyptian Centre for Research on Public Opinion. It should be noted, however, that, due to the conservative nature of Egyptian culture, Abla Fahita and other similar TV shows are considered to violate Egyptian politeness standards radically. Hence, such shows have been condemned as degrading and of low moral standards and have been accused of causing a deterioration in the standards of Egyptian public taste. Despite all denunciations, Abla Fahita still enjoys a huge audience and dominates broadcast ratings. Part of the show’s popularity can be ascribed to its characteristic impoliteness, particularly Abla Fahita’soff-beat expressions in mocking her guests and her use of sexual innuendo, which is seen as entertaining by many viewers.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Globalizing the Beauty Business before 1980 Geoffrey Jones Joseph C. Wilson Professor of Business Administration Harvard Business School [email protected] Globalizing the Beauty Business before 1980 This working paper examines the globalization of the beauty industry before 1980. This industry, which had emerged in its modern form in the United States during the late nineteenth century, grew quickly worldwide over the following century. Firms employed marketing and marketing strategies to diffuse products and brands internationally despite business, economic and cultural obstacles to globalization. The process was difficult and complex. The globalization of toiletries proceeded faster than cosmetics, skin and hair care. By 1980 there remained strong differences between consumer markets. Although American influence was strong, it was already evident that globalization had not resulted in the creation of a stereotyped American blond and blue-eyed beauty female ideal as the world standard, although it had significantly narrowed the range of variation in beauty and hygiene ideals. 2 Globalizing the Beauty Business before 19801 This working paper considers the globalization of the beauty industry between the end of World War II and 1980. Like many consumer products, this industry has made the transition since the late nineteenth century from one in which numerous small enterprises sold products for their immediate localities to one in which “global brands” sold by a small number of large corporations can be found worldwide.
