  • A Journey of a Woman in Search of True Love and She Drifted to Understand the Concept of Transcendental Oneness
    Laali A journey of a woman in search of true love and she drifted to understand the concept of transcendental oneness. 1 About the Author The author has education in epistemology and taught philosophy and culture in the university. He is working as a senior journalist and covered socio- economic stories in Rajasthan and Gujarat- great states of culture and customs of India. 2 The story of an illiterate woman of Rajasthan in India who in her journey of finding transcendental love realizes that marriage is not only the answer. After her broken marriage she tries several live in-relationships to find true love. She knows that the feeling of transcendental love, a love beyond logic and reasoning, exists and she starts searching the meaning of love, during her journey, she tries to understand principles of Hindu religion and philosophy to understand the reality and truth that fabricates the society to live in accordance with right knowledge. The lower communities that remained suppressed for thousands of years have their own customs and rituals and have their own closed society but unfortunately their literatures and customs got no place in writing because education was mostly limited to upper class. The story also tells that Indian philosophy was never applied to get the real advantage of such knowledge. And therefore philosophies remained just reciting of books and prevailing system of society and confused common man. I am thankful to my daughter Sanghamitra and son Kumar Bodhisattva who persuaded me to continue my writing. They came in my life as little angels. 3 Index 1.

  • Shannon Mcmahon
    Meeting Virginia: Feminist Analysis and Implications of Late- and Post-1990s Pop/Rock Music A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with research distinction in English in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By Shannon McMahon The Ohio State University June 2010 Project Advisor: Dr. Sara Crosby, Department of English McMahon 2 Introduction Music and feminism grew together throughout the 1990s as two forces of popular culture that helped to define and clarify the roles and representations of bold, bad, and individualistic women of the third wave. Feminism was undergoing a generational wave change, and the new third wave’s close interaction with popular culture led to accusations of disorder from second wave feminists and those outside the movement, as well. Third wavers began to use popular culture products, including music, as means to self-understanding, and they overturned dated notions of power in order to assert their own interpretations and use pop music in constructive ways. The ‘90s was also a locus of change for music and, in particular, third wavers’ roles in the industry. The Riot Grrrls of the early 1990s expressed their anger through the punk alternative, and the female singer/songwriters of the later Lilith Fair made feminist music more mainstream and individualized. Although feminist music had made many strides, mass media outlets and feminists alike pinpointed the era after Lilith Fair ended in 1999 as a new low point for feminist music: over-commercialized, over-exposed teen pop stars of the era had become popular, and their lyrics did not initiate constructive feminist discussions.

Using alternating point-of-view characters, I showed the good and bad parts of Washington, DC and the surrounding area through the eyes of someone that has benefited from privilege and someone that has not. These juxtaposing views change over the course of the novel until both point-of-view characters have become something different than they were at the start, learning humility and trust, respectively. Through the alternating chapters, I wanted to show two viewpoints of the same city and the same set of events, each contributing a unique perspective to the overall narrative.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This thesis analyzes facets of resistance in the lyrics of female country music performers and explores how their articulations of female resistance draw on and rework Appalachian folk traditions within country music. Beginning with the musical practices of Appalachian women, who used music to lament their lives restricted by domestic responsibilities, this thesis examines expressions of female resistance through lyrical analysis, with a concentration on female country performers from 1995 to the present. Despite evolving into a performance tradition, female resistance in country music continues to address the lived experiences of its female audience. As such, the female resistance tradition is an enduring component of country music that has addressed women’s issues for over a century.
