We show how Becky Bloomwood, the central character, is a Scripted Shopaholic for whom shopping is the activity around which everything else in her live falls in and out of place. In presenting a Scripted Shopaholic Racket System, we theorise: how shopping is used to structure time and relationships with others; the role of injunctions and attributions and related discounting in fulfilling shopping scripts; and, the possibility of freedom from excessive shopping scripts.

  • The Importation of Chick Lit in Turkey Via Translations And/Or Rewritings Cansu
    LOOKING THROUGH TRANSLATION: THE IMPORTATION OF CHICK LIT IN TURKEY VIA TRANSLATIONS AND/OR REWRITINGS CANSU CANSEVEN BOĞAZİÇİ UNIVERSITY 2015 LOOKING THROUGH TRANSLATION: THE IMPORTATION OF CHICK LIT IN TURKEY VIA TRANSLATIONS AND/OR REWRITINGS Thesis submitted to the Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation by Cansu Canseven Boğaziçi University 2015 ABSTRACT Looking through Translation: The Importation of Chick Lit in Turkey via Translations and/or Rewritings This study explores the role that translation has played in the introduction and importation of chick lit as a literary genre in the Turkish literary system. The study acknowledges chick lit as a literary genre and presents the characteristics of chick lit as well as its position within the feminist history and its relation with women’s literature in the past. So as to investigate the role of Turkish translations of chick lit novels in introducing the genre into the Turkish literary polysystem, the translated chick lit novels in Turkey are descriptively examined year by year and notes are made regarding the publishing houses. The increase and decrease in the number of translated chick lit novels in years are observed and explained with respect to the marketing strategies of publishing houses and the appearance of the attempts for producing the first Turkish chick lit novel. Through the textual and paratextual analysis of the translations of Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series and Ekin Atalar’s Selindrella series, the study reveals the similarities between the two and considers the latter as a “rewriting” of the former.

  • Final Thesis
    Louise FitzGerald Negotiating Lone Motherhood: Gender, Politics and Family Values in Contemporary Popular Cinema. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Film and Television Studies University of East Anglia 21 st August 2009 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author, and that no quotation from the thesis, nor information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. 1 Abstract In 2001, four out of the five Academy Award nominations for best actress went to women who played the role of a lone mother, Juliette Binoche for Chocolat ( Lasse Hallsttrom : 2000) Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich (Steven Soderbergh: 2000), Laura Linney for You Can Count on Me (Kenneth Lonnergan: 2000) and Ellen Burstyn for Requiem for A Dream (Darren Aronofsky: 2000). The fact that these four films each prioritized a narrative of lone motherhood became a point of interest for cultural observers who saw the popularization of lone mother narratives as indicative of mainstream cinema’s policy of inclusion and diversity and reflective of a broader political acceptance of lone motherhood. And yet, despite the phenomenal political and cultural significance of the lone mother figure, little academic attention has been paid to the cultural prioritization of this oftentimes demonized female figure. This thesis offers a critical account of the cultural investment in mainstream cinema’s lone mother figure to argue that she plays a crucial role in shoring up postfeminist, neo- liberal and neo-conservative family values rhetoric in ways which highlight the exclusions on which postfeminism thrives.

  • Representing Consumer Research: a Novel Approach Stephen Brown, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland
    ASSOCIATION FOR CONSUMER RESEARCH Labovitz School of Business & Economics, University of Minnesota Duluth, 11 E. Superior Street, Suite 210, Duluth, MN 55802 Representing Consumer Research: a Novel Approach stephen brown, university of ulster, northern ireland Representing Consumer Research: A Novel ApproachTwenty years ago, Belk contended that marketing and consumer research can learn more from a reasonably good novel than a common garden piece of contemporary social science. In the decades since this declaration, copious scholars have derived many significant insights from the literary canon. Consumer researchers’ pursuit of matters literary, however, has not extended to the next logical step – the novelization of their findings. Despite the advent of “experimental” modes of representation, such as poetry, performance and painting, the preeminent cultural form of the century just past remains beyond the professorial pale. This paper considers our reluctance to write the Great CB Novel and posits four possible reasons for researchers’ apparent reticence. It considers some of the problems encountered by would-be novelists, argues that the pleasures of novel writing far exceed the pains, which are indubitably acute, and maintains that marketing and consumer researchers must not only cull novels for academic insights but compose novels with academic insights.
