    Tall Poppy Syndrome & Patriarchal Femininity

    Tall Poppy Syndrome & Patriarchal Femininity: An Auto-ethnographic Investigation into New Zealand’s Female-identifying Comedians BY KATIE HILL A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Master of Arts in Theatre Victoria University of Wellington 2021 - 2 - Abstract This practice-based and auto-ethnographic research project explores the correlation between Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS) and patriarchal femininity in the performances of female-identifying stand-up comedians in New Zealand. I identify ways TPS, as a patriarchal ideology, has an impact on the subconscious/and or conscious choices of New Zealand’s self-deprecating female-identifying comedians in contemporary performance. I have chosen to analyse TPS through an intersectional feminist lens, focusing on ways the historical construction of patriarchal femininity directly relates to the cultural phenomenon of Tall Poppy Syndrome. I aim to connect this relationship to the ways New Zealand female-identifying comedians ‘perform’ autobiographical comedy, as part of expected social and cultural conventions. As I want to investigate the impact of TPS in an exclusively New Zealand context, my research isolates its case studies to comedians who make comedy primarily for a New Zealand audience, discussing international comedians as a point of comparison. - 3 - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of this thesis would not have been possible without the invaluable guidance and support of my peers, friends and family. To my supervisor, Dr. Nicola Hyland - your counsel on my academic, practical and wellbeing needs was immensely helpful. Many of my anxieties were eased by your kind and understanding approach to teaching.

    Devotional Music and Healing in Badakhshan, Tajikistan: Preventive and Curative Practices

    DEVOTIONAL MUSIC AND HEALING IN BADAKHSHAN, TAJIKISTAN: PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE PRACTICES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Benjamin David Koen, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Margarita Mazo, Adviser Professor Daniel Avorgbedor ________________________ Adviser Professor Ron Emoff School of Music Copyright by Benjamin David Koen 2003 ABSTRACT The dissertation examines current practices of music and prayer in healing among the Pamiri people of Badakhshan, Tajikistan. Over the last decade, the field of ethnomusicology has become increasingly concerned with the role of music in healing. Simultaneously, clinical research into music and healing, as well as prayer and healing has dramatically increased. Yet, the link between music and prayer in healing has not been critically examined, either in ethnomusicology or health science. To approach the topic holistically, an interdisciplinary team of researchers was assembled in Badakhshan. Through an integrated methodology of traditional ethnomusicological techniques and physiological experiments, the dissertation investigates the phenomenon of music and prayer in healing in Tajik Badakhshan. By working with master musicians, traditional healers, local religious leaders and physicians, ethnographic and physiological data were collected that form the basis of the dissertation. In the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan, the preeminent vocal and instrumental genre of devotional music is known as maddâh. It serves several cultural functions and provides an example of how music and prayer function as a unified whole in the ii context of traditional healing. Maddâh has been little researched in ethnomusicology, and its role in healing has not been explored in the literature.
