  • Does Race Matter in International Beauty Pageants? a Quantitative Analysis of Miss World B S Z  R  W , PD U    B   C 
    Does race matter in international beauty pageants? A quantitative analysis of Miss World B S Z R W, PD U B C Abstract: Most research on race and beauty pageants uses qualitative research methods and focuses on national beauty pageants. For this reason it is unclear whether there are broad patterns of racial inequalities in international beauty pageants. My study addresses this issue by using a quantitative approach to examine whether race affects success rates in international beauty pageants. This study examines countries that have competed in the Miss World pageant from 1951 to 2011 and examine each country’s probability of winning and being in the semi- fi nals. The analysis shows that race matters. White countries have a much higher chance of winning and being in the semi-fi nals than non-white nations. Furthermore, white nations have been over-represented as winners and semi-fi nalists while non-white nations have been under-represented in both those categories. The patterns of success for white nations and lack of success for non-white nations demonstrates that beauty is not neutral and that global beauty pageants can be seen as a refl ection of racial hierarchies and a reaffi rmation of the ideology of white beauty. Introduction Studying Race in Beauty Pageants than simple phenotypes, in beauty pageants Browsing through the headshots of the Although race is a socially constructed where the body is visually displayed, physical 2011 contestants on the websites of the Miss concept, the concept of race and racism appearance is a noticeable way of signifying World and the Miss Universe pageants, the persists3, and in order to study racial race.5 Moreover, the general public that view women’s beauty was indisputable.

  • “Not Fat, Maybe Thick, Not Too Skinny”: Resisting and Reproducing Health and Beauty Discourses in Urban Jamaica
    “Not fat, maybe thick, not too skinny”: Resisting and Reproducing Health and Beauty Discourses in Urban Jamaica by Claudia C.E. Barned A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Claudia C.E. Barned, July, 2017 ABSTRACT “Not Fat, Maybe Thick, Not Too Skinny”: Resisting and Reproducing Health and Beauty Discourses in Urban Jamaica Claudia Barned Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Dr. Kieran O’Doherty This dissertation critically analyzes the ways in which urban Jamaican women position themselves within culturally available discourses on health and beauty. Forty-One Jamaican women from the Kingston and St. Andrew area of Jamaica were interviewed about their conceptualizations of health and beauty. I examine varied meanings of health, and identify the dominant and subversive health discourses (the healthism discourse, obesity epidemic discourse and slim-thick healthy body discourse) that are available to Jamaican women. Using a feminist post-structuralist framework, I analyze how Jamaican women take up, resist and partially resist these discourses. I then describe the characteristics of a beautiful body in Jamaica. I identify a light-skinned beauty ideal and demonstrate the pervasiveness of this conceptualization of beauty. I also illustrate how Jamaican women refer to Jamaica’s history of colonialism and slavery as explanations for modern-day conceptualizations of beauty in Jamaica. I show how notions of beauty intersect with socially constructed categories of race and class and discuss the intersection of gender, race, and class in relation to the subjectivities of urban Jamaican women.

A closely connected series of studies ended up suggesting that attention to consumption was not merely a com­ patible addition to an established paradigmatic understanding of industrialization and modernization in early modern European societies, but a thorough revision, even inver­ sion, of many existing assumptions about the causal roots and consequences of the tran­ sition to modernity.'

I have been asked to give my expert opinion on the presence or absence of communication in the act of sharing and gifting food in public. 2. I conclude that sharing and gifting food is a form of communication, sometimes more profoundly so than speech itself. This finding is supported by more than a century of ethnographic fieldwork by cultural and social anthropologists in the USA and around the world. 3. The communicative nature of sharing and gifting food is also widely accepted in other scholarly fields, such as sociology and political science, and it is accepted as a fact in the recently-emerged interdisciplinary field of Food Studies. 4.

  • Cultural Globalization and Transnational Flows of Things American
    8 Cultural Globalization and Transnational Flows of Things American Mel van Elteren Tilburg University The Netherlands 1. Introduction It has been argued that there is an emerging “global culture,” which is heavily American in origin, structures, and contents. While it is certainly not the only player in the global cultural arena, America’s transnationalizing culture is expected to remain the most dominant one in the foreseeable future (Berger, 2002: 2-3). This chapter takes a fresh look at today’s cultural globalization and explores the various interconnections and underlying dynamics, focusing more particularly on its American and Americanized components. Needless to say, the emerging global culture actually consists of a plurality of global cultures. In various cultural domains globalizing tendencies occur, which neither all run parallel nor all show the same tempo; there have been lively debates on the cultures of globalization in the plural. Nevertheless, for the sake of convenience the single term “global culture” will be used here too; it refers first of all to the prevailing forms that originate as yet mostly from the West, although we do find reverse cultural flows from the East as well. Classifying countries into different subsections of the globe is a tricky and inexact business, since there is a high level of interpenetration and cultural exchange between countries as this chapter will illustrate too. One should be wary of Western centrism or a more specific Euro- or America-centrism, as manifested in forms of Orientalism especially (which have their Eastern counterparts of Occidentalism). The terms “West” and “East” are used only as a rough indication and should certainly not be reified.
