  • De Representatie Van Leraren En Onderwijs in Populaire Cultuur. Een Retorische Analyse Van South Park
    Universiteit Gent, Faculteit Psychologie en Pedagogische Wetenschappen Academiejaar 2014-2015 De representatie van leraren en onderwijs in populaire cultuur. Een retorische analyse van South Park Jasper Leysen 01003196 Promotor: Dr. Kris Rutten Masterproef neergelegd tot het behalen van de graad van master in de Pedagogische Wetenschappen, afstudeerrichting Pedagogiek & Onderwijskunde Voorwoord Het voorwoord schrijven voelt als een echte verlossing aan, want dit is het teken dat mijn masterproef is afgewerkt. Anderhalf jaar heb ik op geregelde basis gezwoegd, gevloekt en getwijfeld, maar het overheersende gevoel is toch voldoening. Voldoening om een werk af te hebben waar veel tijd en moeite is ingekropen. Voldoening om een werk af te hebben waar ik toch wel fier op ben. Voldoening om een werk af te hebben dat ik zelfstandig op poten heb gezet en heb afgewerkt. Althans hoofdzakelijk zelfstandig, want ik kan er niet omheen dat ik regelmatig hulp heb gekregen van mensen uit mijn omgeving. Het is dan ook niet meer dan normaal dat ik ze hier even bedank. In de eerste plaats wil ik mijn promotor, dr. Kris Rutten, bedanken. Ik kon steeds bij hem terecht met vragen en opmerkingen en zijn feedback gaf me altijd nieuwe moed en inspiratie om aan mijn thesis verder te werken. Ik apprecieer vooral zijn snelle en efficiënte manier van handelen. Nooit heb ik lang moeten wachten op een antwoord, nooit heb ik vele uren zitten verdoen op zijn bureau. Bedankt! Ten tweede wil ik ook graag Ayna, Detlef, Diane, Katoo, Laure en Marijn bedanken voor deelname aan mijn focusgroep. Hun inzichten hebben ervoor gezorgd dat mijn analyses meer gefundeerd werden, hun enthousiasme heeft ertoe bijgedragen dat ik besefte dat mijn thesis zeker een bijdrage is voor het onderzoeksveld.

  • The Fashion Industry As a Slippery Discursive Site: Tracing the Lines of Flight Between Problem and Intervention
    THE FASHION INDUSTRY AS A SLIPPERY DISCURSIVE SITE: TRACING THE LINES OF FLIGHT BETWEEN PROBLEM AND INTERVENTION Nadia K. Dawisha A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Patricia Parker Sarah Dempsey Steve May Michael Palm Neringa Klumbyte © 2016 Nadia K. Dawisha ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Nadia K. Dawisha: The Fashion Industry as a Slippery Discursive Site: Tracing the Lines of Flight Between Problem and Intervention (Under the direction of Dr. Patricia Parker) At the intersection of the glamorous façade of designer runway shows, such as those in Paris, Milan and New York, and the cheap prices at the local Walmart and Target, is the complicated, somewhat insidious “business” of the fashion industry. It is complicated because it both exploits and empowers, sometimes through the very same practices; it is insidious because its most exploitative practices are often hidden, reproduced, and sustained through a consumer culture in which we are all in some ways complicit. Since fashion’s inception, people and institutions have employed a myriad of discursive strategies to ignore and even justify their complicity in exploitative labor, environmental degradation, and neo-colonial practices. This dissertation identifies and analyzes five predicaments of fashion while locating the multiple interventions that engage various discursive spaces in the fashion industry. Ultimately, the analysis of discursive strategies by creatives, workers, organizers, and bloggers reveals the existence of agile interventions that are as nuanced as the problem, and that can engage with disciplinary power in all these complicated places.

  • Half Way Down the Trail to Hell
    Half Way Down The Trail To Hell A Wartime Remembrance in Three Parts By Stephen E. Kirkland i Prologue “The danger, being around veterans, the memories are so selective and so heroic that you’ve got to be careful talking to a guy like me.” George Herbert Walker Bush A while back I discovered the Library of Congress is conducting a program called The Veterans History Project. The mission of the project is the collection and preservation of veteran’s wartime recollections and documents before they are lost forever. Like many wartime veterans, I concentrated on getting on with my life. I needed a job that would allow me to marry, buy a house and raise a family. I didn’t feel anything I had experienced in Vietnam would contribute to these goals, and I felt that, for the most part, people who hadn’t served didn’t know or even care what I had seen or done. The country’s attitude was different than with the Gulf War veterans and I deflected the few inquires that were made, especially the ones that contained the words “Did ya’ kill anybody?” I was too busy dealing with the present to spend a lot of time staring into the past. Now, almost four decades after returning home, the time has come to look back and try to recreate a piece of personal history, albeit history filtered though my water colored memories. I’ve relied on a number of sources for this remembrance, not the least of which were letters that I wrote home.

  • Leighton Meester Hopes to Find True Love Someday
    Leighton Meester Hopes to Find True Love Someday Leighton Meester has high hopes for true love. According to People, the Gossip Girl star is looking for the kind of relationship that her character on the show, Blair, shares with onscreen love, Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick). “Because the way they love each other is very real, and not for the sake of being dramatic,” says Meester. Though 24 and single, the accomplished actress is far from giving up. “It’s okay if you don’t find him and you’re 24. You can find it someday.” How do you know when you’ve found “real” love? Cupid’s Advice: Leighton Meester says, “Real love is not for the sake of being dramatic.” If you’re not sure whether you’re in love or not, Cupid has a few telling signs: 1. It goes deeper than looks: Make sure you enjoy talking to your partner just as much as you like looking at him. If you find yourself constantly fixated on your partner’s physical appearance, you make be confusing love with lust. 2. It’s not just physical: If your relationship is more physical than it is emotional, it’s probably not love. You should be getting to know your partner inside and out. When its’ time to say, “I do,” you should be looking forward to more than the honeymoon. 3. You make sacrafices: The biggest sign of love is putting your partner’s needs before your own. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices, even if they’re small. If you’re always thinking what this person can do to help you instead of what you can do to help them, you’re probably not in love yet..
