  • Perception of Tattoos in Contemporary Japanese Society
    LUND UNIVERSITY • CENTRE FOR EAST AND SOUTH-EAST ASIAN STUDIES Perception of Tattoos in Contemporary Japanese Society Author: Monika Rusiňáková Supervisor: Paul O’Shea Master’s Programme in Asian Studies Spring semester 2019 Abstract This thesis analyses five in-depth interviews on Japanese tattoo culture conducted by the author and ten short interviews with tattooed Japanese people published by Japanese online tattoo magazine. The study focuses on inclusion and exclusion of tattooed Japanese people in contemporary Japanese society, relying on labeling theory and collectivism. The findings suggest that significant tattoo stigmatization prevails in contemporary Japanese society. Tattoos are often percieved as a bad label that is required to be concealed with cloths or make-up. Nonetheless, the label was accepted by the majority of the interviewees who did not want to advocate for their rights of individualistic self-expression. Having said that, there were some participants who refused to submit to the society’s demand for good adjustment. I argue that the willingness to good adjustment is corelated with the values of collectivism. Keywords: Tattoos, Japanese society, Labelling theory, Collectivism 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

More than a newsletter but not quite a journal, RACE-Link at best constitutes a quasi-journal. In this issue, we continue to plot the lines defining race in its contemporary configurations in the post 9/11 Canadian context. This issue begins with Sunera Thobani’s article ‘No Academic Exercise’ tracing the highly problematic notion of academic freedom. Thobani calls attention to the lack of such freedom in voicing dissent against the ongoing War on Muslim bodies. She underlines the tenuous position of women of colour in the academy whose grounded knowledge is neither validated nor their critique acknowledged.

  • This Is My Tattoo,” Intersections 11, No
    intersections online Volume 11, Number 1 (Summer 2010) Matthew Hayes, “This is My Tattoo,” intersections 11, no. 1 (2010): 127-163. ABSTRACT What does it mean to own a tattoo? How does the tension between running a business and creating art affect the experience of producing and receiving a tattoo? This project consists of two parts: a written paper and a short documentary film. Based on original research, I explore what ownership means to tattoo artists and tattooed persons, and how this idea of ownership may or may not change when a tattoo is transmitted to film. Several participants conclude that the person who wears the tattoo ultimately owns the tattoo, while others believe all those involved in the experience have a stake in the ownership of their tattoo. While my conclusions are decidedly incomplete, partly a result of the originality of this work, I nevertheless draw attention to the significance of this tension to the way one looks at his or her tattoo after it is completed. I also explore in depth the complexities of using film as a research tool, as well as of conducting “field work” at home. http://depts.washington.edu/chid/intersections_Summer_2010/Matthew_Hayes_This_Is_My_Tattoo.pdf Video component of “This is My Tattoo”: http://vimeo.com/10670029 © 2010 Matthew Hayes, intersections. 126 Matthew Hayes This is My Tattoo 127 intersections Summer 2010 This is My Tattoo By Matthew Hayes1 Trent University, Ontario everal years ago I was slowly pacing the lobby of a tattoo studio in Toronto, S nervously anticipating the experience to come. While it was not my first, the tattoo that I was waiting to have applied on my skin was my largest to date, and it was going straight on my ribs, one of the most painful areas of the body to have tattooed (or so they say).

Thomas Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Thesis title: Technologies of the Natural: ‘Male Enhancement’, Gender Confirmation Surgery, and the ‘Monster Cock’ Committee: Chair: Pamela Stern Associate Professor Sociology & Anthropology Travers Supervisor Professor Sociology & Anthropology Michael Hathaway Committee Member Associate Professor Sociology & Anthropology Coleman Nye Examiner Assistant Professor Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Susan Stryker External Examiner Distinguished Chair Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Mills College ii iii Abstract Responding to Susan Stryker’s (2006) call to identify the “seams and sutures” of the ‘natural body’, this dissertation analyzes the social incarnation of the ‘natural male body’ through ‘male enhancement’ discourse in Canada and the United States (247). As one of the few sociological investigations into the medical practice of male enhancement, this research reorients our analytical gaze away from the somatic transformations of historically-oppressed people’s sexed bodies, towards bringing the male body, cis masculinity, and whiteness into the spotlight of critique. This investigation is grounded in fifty hours of online observations of a male enhancement forum for cis men interested in augmenting their genitals; and twenty in-depth, qualitative interviews with medical practitioners who specialize in male enhancement procedures.

  • The Discursive Construction of Ideal Heavy Metal
    1 Vulgar Discourses of Power: The Discursive Construction of Ideal Heavy Metal Subjectivity and the Erasure of Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour in Heavy Metal Music Culture By Michelle Bona A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Women and Gender Studies April 2021, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright Michelle Bona, 2021 Approved: Dr. Tatjana Takševa Supervisor Approved: Dr. Jacqueline Warwick Examiner Approved: Dr. Tracy Moniz Reader Date: 23 April 2021 2 Abstract Vulgar Discourses of Power: The Discursive Construction of Ideal Heavy Metal Subjectivity and the Erasure of Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour in Heavy Metal Music Culture By Michelle Bona Heavy metal music culture has been a bastion of working-class white masculinity since its beginnings in the early 1970s. Through canonization and Historical documentation, white male dominance has been ensured, obscuring contributions made by white female performers and erasing black, Indigenous, and women of colour (BIWoC) from the genre. Utilizing feminist critical discourse analysis (feminist CDA) to examine texts by canonized male bands reveals the discursive parameters of ideal heavy metal subjectivity (IHMS). Exploration of texts created by white female performers, including a case study of Arch Enemy vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, isolates the necessity for white female performers to reproduce the discourses of IHMS in order to secure their participation in the culture, further contributing to the erasure of BIWoC performers. However, feminist CDA also reveals transformative potential within these texts to de-centre IHMS as the default subject position and shows white women’s agency and resiliency as performers.

  • A Theoretical and Discursive Framing of Multiculturalism and Global Citizenship Education in the Canadian Context
    RELATED AND CONFLATED: A THEORETICAL AND DISCURSIVE FRAMING OF MULTICULTURALISM AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION IN THE CANADIAN CONTEXT by Karen Pashby A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Humanities, Social Sciences and Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Karen Pashby 2013 RELATED AND CONFLATED: A THEORETICAL AND DISCURSIVE FRAMING OF MULTICULTURALISM AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION IN THE CANADIAN CONTEXT Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Karen Pashby Graduate Department of Humanities, Social Sciences and Social Justice Education University of Toronto Abstract There is a public perception that Canada is an ideal place for cultivating global citizenship because of its culturally plural demographics and official policies of multiculturalism. Global Citizenship Education (GCE) is a growing field in Canadian education and is an explicit focus in the Alberta social studies curriculum. This thesis brings together four conversations within which multiculturalism and GCE are both related and conflated: (a) the public perceptions of Canada as a model of cultural diversity and global citizenship, (b) the scholarly discussions of GCE and multiculturalism, (c) the policy context where multiculturalism is set alongside GCE, and (d) the practical ways that the two are mutually related in curriculum and lesson documents. There are four interrelated sections to this thesis; each identifies the tensions inherent to multiculturalism, GCE, and the perceived relationship between these fields. First is a wider philosophical and theoretical framing of the topic. Second is the examination of educational research on the topic. Third is a critical discourse analysis of policy, curriculum, and lesson plan documents in the province of Alberta.

  • Transgressing Boundaries of Izzat: Voices of Second-Generation Punjabi Women Surviving and Transgressing “Honour' Related Vi
    TRANSGRESSING BOUNDARIES OF IZZAT: VOICES OF SECOND-GENERATION PUNJABI WOMEN SURVIVING AND TRANSGRESSING “HONOUR’ RELATED VIOLENCE IN CANADA by Mandeep Kaur Mucina A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Mandeep Kaur Mucina 2015 Transgressing Boundaries Of Izzat: Voices Of Punjabi Women Surviving And Transgressing “Honour” Related Violence In Canada Mandeep Kaur Mucina Doctorate of Philosophy Graduat Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This study is an act of witnessing second-generation Punjabi women who have survived displacement/excommunication/exile from their family and/or community after transgressing boundaries of izzat. Izzat is a cultural construct that holds particular importance in the Punjabi community of Northern India and is translated into English as meaning “honour”. The life histories collected in this study are a result of in-depth interviews through narrative inquiry with 5 second-generation Punjabi women living across Canada. The women’s stories speak to the complexities of “honour” related violence in the West, they challenge the dominant discourses that frame family violence in South Asian communities, and they allow the reader to hear how they resisted/reclaimed izzat while challenging/surviving layers of heteropatriarchy, violence and racism throughout their lives. This study aims at shifting dominant discourses that use “honour”
