  • NO RAMBLING ON: the LISTLESS COWBOYS of HORSE Jon Davies
    WARHOL pages_BFI 25/06/2013 10:57 Page 108 If Andy Warhol’s queer cinema of the 1960s allowed for a flourishing of newly articulated sexual and gender possibilities, it also fostered a performative dichotomy: those who command the voice and those who do not. Many of his sound films stage a dynamic of stoicism and loquaciousness that produces a complex and compelling web of power and desire. The artist has summed the binary up succinctly: ‘Talk ers are doing something. Beaut ies are being something’ 1 and, as Viva explained about this tendency in reference to Warhol’s 1968 Lonesome Cowboys : ‘Men seem to have trouble doing these nonscript things. It’s a natural 5_ 10 2 for women and fags – they ramble on. But straight men can’t.’ The brilliant writer and progenitor of the Theatre of the Ridiculous Ronald Tavel’s first two films as scenarist for Warhol are paradigmatic in this regard: Screen Test #1 and Screen Test #2 (both 1965). In Screen Test #1 , the performer, Warhol’s then lover Philip Fagan, is completely closed off to Tavel’s attempts at spurring him to act out and to reveal himself. 3 According to Tavel, he was so up-tight. He just crawled into himself, and the more I asked him, the more up-tight he became and less was recorded on film, and, so, I got more personal about touchy things, which became the principle for me for the next six months. 4 When Tavel turned his self-described ‘sadism’ on a true cinematic superstar, however, in Screen Test #2 , the results were extraordinary.

  • The Complete Gastric Band Guide ©
    The Sydney Institute for Obesity Surgery 1 The Complete Gastric Band Guide © Success or Failure: Weight loss surgery relies on the right patient, the right surgeon with the correct state of the art surgical technique and patient follow up. This applies to all weight loss surgery. However you are also an important link in the chain. If your operation is technically correct, you are the reason for your success or failure. Ultimately, it depends upon you. The Definition of Success: We all tend to think about success in “weight loss” in terms of the amount of weight lost. Certainly your carers tend to be focussed on weight. This is partly because weight is an easily measurable and reproducible entity. But weight can be a poor indicator of your progress overall. It is far better to think about weight loss in terms of how your size changes, how your shape changes, your well being and quality of life and biochemical markers derived from blood tests. Weight is just one part of all these indicators and they may all be independent of weight. The best weight loss goals therefore are about quality of life, biochemical milestones (i.e. the resolution of fatty liver, remission of diabetes) and simply moving from a larger clothing size to a smaller one. To focus on weight alone neglects all the other important improvements in your being. If your weight does not drop appreciably but your clothes are looser and you are more mobile, something good has happened to your body and should not be discounted given a minimal weight loss.

  • The Perception of Health and Wellness Before and After Studying Abroad
    THE PERCEPTION OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS BEFORE AND AFTER STUDYING ABROAD by Brooke Sikora A THESIS Presented to the Department of Journalism and Communication and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts December 2018 An Abstract of the Thesis of Brooke Sikora for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Journalism and Communication to be taken December 2018 Title: The Perception of Health and Wellness Before and After Studying Abroad Approved: _______________________________________ Professor Autumn Shafer The purpose of this thesis is to examine how health perceptions evolve after studying abroad. Information was gathered from background research as well as through a pre and post survey using Qualtrics. Students who were spending their summer abroad took a pre-survey before they departed and a post survey once they returned that asked about participants’ body image, food urges, U.S.-focused health perceptions, and how participants defined healthy food. Fifty-five participants responded to the pre-survey, and 44 of the original 55 answered the post survey. This information was then analyzed using SPSS. The continuous measured questions were analyzed using paired sample t-tests, and categorical measured questions where multiple answers could be correct were analyzed using chi-squared tests. Thirteen of the questions asked came back with significant changes (p = < .05). Looking forward, what was learned through this study could help Global Education Oregon (GEO) by providing information for future study abroad goers about how the experience will share their understanding about health and wellness.

How are patients’ identities shifted as their bodies change throughout the bariatric surgery process? To answer these questions, I interviewed 35 bariatric patients at various stages of their bariatric careers. I divide my findings into three chapters. First, I describe the bariatric process using Goffman’s concept of the moral career and Foucault’s ideas about discipline. The moral career of the bariatric patient proceeds through 4 stages: the pre-surgery process, recovery, the honeymoon stage, and the struggle stage. I argue that bariatric surgery utilizes two types of disciplinary technology: (1) a discursive process where patients are socialized into health behaviors and must prove themselves morally worthy of surgery; (2) an embodied process where patients’ digestive tracts are modified to punish them for straying from “the program.” Next, I focus on the illness experience of bariatric patients.
