Only Two Percent of Women Describe Themselves As Beautiful New Global Study Uncovers Desire for Broader Definition of Beauty NEW YORK, Sept
(http://www.prnewswire.com/) Only Two Percent of Women Describe Themselves as Beautiful New Global Study Uncovers Desire for Broader Definition of Beauty NEW YORK, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ ‐‐ Dove(R) unveils a groundbreaking new study today that discusses the implications of a global society that narrowly defines beauty by the images seen in entertainment, advertising and fashion runways and the startling impact this has on women. The result: only two percent of thousands of women from 10 countries around the world consider themselves beautiful. Does this mean that we live in a world where women are not beautiful or does it mean that women around the world are calling for a broader definition of beauty? Dove, as a global beauty brand and responsible marketer, wants to investigate these issues and understand women's views on beauty. With these concerns in mind, Dove partnered with Dr. Nancy Etcoff, Harvard University professor and author of "Survival of the Prettiest," and Dr. Susie Orbach, London School of Economics, visiting professor and author of "Fat is a Feminist Issue," to develop The Real Truth About Beauty: A Global Report, which explores the relationship women have with beauty. Specifically, Dove's mission is to determine how women define beauty; their level of satisfaction with their own beauty; and its impact on their sense of well‐being. "The Real Truth About Beauty: A Global Report makes it clear that it is time to lift the quota system on images of beauty," says Etcoff. "This study uncovers that beauty is never going away and has enormous power. -

Constructing a Native Consciousness: Taiwan Literature in the 20Th Century
Constructing a Native Consciousness: Taiwan Literature in the 20th Century Angelina C. Yee Few notions in the contemporary world elicit such public demonstration and widespread passion as that of the nation. Even at the end of the 20th century, national conflagrations from Kosovo to East Timor still seize headlines from global treaties and space explorations. While scholars argue that the nation is intersubjectively imagined, discursively produced, and “narrated” and “performed” out of shreds and fragments, the notion, far from being an outmoded concept, shows every sign of gathering strength, intertwined with and supplanting deep-seated religious beliefs and social progress as a sanctified norm.1 Between the local, the national and the supranational whose demarcations are themselves contested, various discursive strands intersect and dispute, vying to redraw maps or rewrite histories. The terrifying devastation allegiance to different nations can unleash therefore weighs heavily on a retrospective on Taiwan, in a double bind of dispassion and engagement. The subject is a particularly sensitive one, for the very invocation of the name “Taiwan,” depending on its context, manner and intonation, implicates particular ideological stances. For those living in Taiwan and across the Strait, the name is more than a geopolitical construct; it is a transcendental signifier fraught with emotional meaning. In literature and the arts, the relatively brief history of representing Taiwan’s trials and tribulations has already as- sumed mythical proportions, evoking a landscape of sorrow, subjugation and destitution. To many, the people of Taiwan have long been subjected to a succession of colonizers’ myths that deny their existence and obliterate their local histories in subservience to grand national narratives. -

Imperialism and Temple Properties: a Case Study of Korean Buddhism During Japan's Occupation
Imperialism and Temple Properties: A Case Study of Korean Buddhism During Japan's Occupation By Chanju Mun ABSTRACT In 1911, the Japanese Governor-General Office established regulations of Korean Buddhist Temples, effectively colonizing Korean Buddhism. The regulations heavily influenced modern Korean Buddhism during its occupation period (1910-45) and continue to do so to the present. In complete acquiescence to these regulations, the Korean government passed the Law of the Management of Buddhist Properties in 1962 to control all of Korean Buddhist Temples under the hands of its dictator, Bak Jeonghui. Because progressive Buddhist activists protested against the undemocratic law, the government substituted it with the Law of the Preservation of Traditional Temples in 1987. Even though the scope of the government's control was reduced from all Buddhist temples to the traditional temples, the current Korean government is still imposing the undemocratic law to manipulate Korean Buddhism by continuously revising it in to appease Korean Buddhist opposition. Based on the regulations, the Japanese colonial government organized all of Korean Buddhist temples under its bureaucratic hierarchy and established the system of the thirty parish headquarter temples in which the vertical relations between the headquarter temple and its respective branch temples are strictly regulated. In order to easily rule Korean Buddhism, the Japanese Governor-General Office approved the abbots, in contrast to the Korean Buddhist tradition in which abbots are appointed in accordance with the unanimous recommendations of monastic members. The articles and bylaws of the thirty parish headquarter temples had to be approved by the government. The regulations also stipulated that all Korean temples must report their temple affairs in detail to the government. -
Human Cloning, Embryonic Stem Cells and Buddhism in South Korea and Beyond
COMPETING “ORIGINARY” TECHNOLOGIES: HUMAN CLONING, EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS AND BUDDHISM IN SOUTH KOREA AND BEYOND A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Marcie Anne Middlebrooks May 2015 © 2015 Marcie Anne Middlebrooks COMPETING “ORIGINARY” TECHNOLOGIES: HUMAN CLONING, EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS AND BUDDHISM IN SOUTH KOREA AND BEYOND Marcie Anne Middlebrooks, Ph. D. Cornell University 2015 This dissertation explores the emergence and development of a South Korean Buddhist discourse supporting cloned human embryonic (hSCNT) stem cell research as a national and global project of religious cultivation which mobilized Korean Buddhists via a more participatory “Buddhist Bioethics” promoting the scientist Hwang Woo-suk (黃禹錫) and his controversial work. I begin with an analysis of the fears and fantasies surrounding the figure of the “human double” or Doppelganger and the “human clone” in the traditional American and Western European contexts where, I argue, the double/clone exhibits the characteristics of what Jacques Derrida dubs “the supplement” – that which is invented to supplement or extend the “original” human being but also inevitably returns to haunt, enslave, and sometimes even destroy its human source. Given that Buddhism employs different ontologies of human being – including the doctrine of no-self anatman 無我, for example – when compared to traditional Western-European, Christian metaphysics, I ask does the modern -
