The Desiring Girl and Young Adult Fiction

Kneen, Bonnie January 2019 (has links)
This thesis critiques the representations, and lacunas in representation, of teenage girls’ sexual desires in a selection of young adult (YA) novels written since the turn of the millenium, considering their contributions either to a necessary opening up of a cultural discourse of girls’ desire, or to the prevalent dangerous silencing of such a discourse. It takes as a point of departure the perspective that, to the extent that YA fiction engages with that which is sexy about sex, it is an ideal safe, private space for girls’ exploration of their sexual subjectivities. Through critical analysis informed by interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary perspectives, as well as by autoethnographic life writing, the research uncovers a marked tendency for YA fiction to construct girls’ desire as doubly wrong: girls are most commonly represented not only as the wrong gender for desire, but also as having individual particularities that are wrong for desire. Thus South African heroines are constructed as inhabiting the wrong country for desire, their desires inextricably linked to violence. Bisexual heroines are constructed as liking the wrong objects of desire, their desires desexualized, monosexualized, and submerged under essentialist stereotype. And conspicuous-breasted girls who experienced puberty early are constructed as possessing the wrong bodies for desire, representation of them among YA heroines largely an inhospitable absence. The research supports, however, the contention that spaces for the liberation of a genuine discourse of girls’ desire may be found in lesbian-focussed stories that hold themselves apart from the patriarchy of compulsory heterosexuality; and it finds that such spaces may also be carved out by heroines who interrogate their own desires in thoughtful, nuanced ways and, especially, by the exceptional few stories that engage with that which is sexy about sex, and thus open a discourse of desire through the direct evocation of desire itself. / Thesis (DLitt (English))--University of Pretoria, 2019. / English / DLitt (English) / Unrestricted

Dosagem dos níveis de anti-oxidantes enzimáticos e resistência celular ao estresse oxidativo, do sêmen de perdizes (Rhynchotus rufescens) criadas em cativeiro e suplementadas com selênio / Enzymatic antioxidant activity and resistance against the oxidative stress in semen of captive partridges (Rhynchotus rufescens) supplemented with selenium

Góes, Paola Almeida de Araújo 28 April 2008 (has links)
Considerando a importância comercial da perdiz (Rhynchotus rufescens), implantou-se algumas biotecnologias reprodutivas. Trinta animais foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: controle (sem selênio orgânico) e tratamento (com 0,2 a 0,8mg de selênio em 1000kgs de ração ), provenientes da FCAV-UNESP/Jaboticabal (2007-2008). Coletou-se semên por excitação manual que foram aliquotados em pools com 150&micro;L. Após a avaliação do volume, motilidade, vigor, números de espermatozóides, concentração e morfologia espermática, diluiu-se 20&micro;l de sêmen em 300&micro;l de solução fisiológica para testar a Integridade das membranas acrossomal e plasmática e avaliação da atividade mitocondrial. Uma outra alíquota de 20&micro;l foi utilizada para testar a resistência dos espermatozóides ao estresse oxidativo, induzido (vitamina C + sulfato ferroso), por meio da dosagem de substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARS). A amostra restante foi congelada diretamente em nitrogênio líquido para a realização do teste da integridade do DNA espermático e para medir a atividade das enzimas antioxidantes Catalase e Glutationa Peroxidase. Contou-se 200 células, para avaliação da integridade acrossomal e de membrana, atividade mitocondrial e ensaio cometa e classificou-as: 1) Acrossomo Íntegro: cor lilás e Não-Íntegro: róseo; 2)Células Vivas (não coradas) e Mortas (coradas), 3) Classes de I a IV, sendo Classe I (todas as mitocôndrias íntegras) com a peça intermediária totalmente corada e Classe IV (todas as mitocôndrias comprometidas) com a peça intermediária totalmente descorada e 4) Cometa I a IV, sendo Cometa I (DNA íntegro): células com halo ao seu redor e núcleo corado, porém sem cauda de cometa evidente e Cometa IV (DNA altamente fragmentado): célula com núcleo completamente descorado e apenas a cauda do cometa, respevtivamente. Os dados foram analisados pelo SAS, System for Windows. Nenhuma diferença foi encontrada para volume, motilidade, vigor, número de espermatozóides, concentração, integridade acrossomal, integridade da membrana plasmática, Classes I e III da atividade mitocondrial, Cometa I,II e IV, TBARS e atividade da Glutationa. Foram encontradas diferenças nas Classes II (Se=33,39±2,93 e Controle=44,39±2,59, p=0.0125 e IV (Se=3,44±0,09 e Controle=1,50±0,38, p=0.0401) e Cometa III (Se=16,00 ± 0,82 e Controle=34,75 ± 1,44, p=<.0001), respectivamente. A diferença encontrada no DAB II pode ser devido aos danos causados na arquitetura da peça intermediária pela deficiência de selênio, o que compromete a mobilidade e a capacidade de fecundação do espermatozóide. Para o DAB IV, não era esperado esse resultado, que pode ser devido aos pequenos valores encontrados para essa variável (Se=3,44% e Controle=1,50%) em relação ao total das classes e que poderia não ser significante se levássemos em consideração as classes juntas. Em relação a porcentagem mais baixa de espermatozóides do grupo suplementado com selênio para a classe III do Ensaio Cometa, pode sugerir um efeito de proteção desta substância, possivelmente devido a um índice mais elevado da Glutationa Peroxidase. / Considering the commercial value of the partridges (Rhynchotus rufescens), the employment of reproductive biotechnologies has been attempted. Thirty animals were randomly assigned into two groups: control group (no selenium) and treatment group (supplemented with 0,2 a 0,8mg selenium/ 1000kgs ration). Animals were allocated at the FCAV - UNESP/Jaboticabal (2007-2008). Semen collections were performed by digital manipulation and divided in pools of at least 150&micro;L. After the immediate evaluation of volume, motility, vigour, concentration and morphology, an aliquot of 20&micro;L was diluted in 300&micro;L of physiologic solution in order to test acrosome and membrane integrities and mitochondrial activity. Another aliquot of 20 &micro;L was used to test the resistance of sperm against the induced oxidative stress (Vitamin C + ferrous sulphate), followed by the measurement of TBARS. The remaining semen sample was frozen directly in liquid nitrogen in orther to perform the comet assay and to measure the activity of the antioxidant enzymes catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Cells were evaluated respectively for acrosome and membrane integrities, mitochondrial activity and comet assay as follows: 1) Intact acrosome: lilac acrosome; Non-intact acrosome: pink acrosome; 2) Live cells: non stained; Dead: stained; 3) Classes I to IV, being Class I (full mitochondrial potential): midpiece totally stained and class IV (no mitochondrial potential): midpiece not stained; 4) Classes I to IV, being Class I (intact DNA): nucleus with intense fluorescence with no comet tail; Class IV (highly fragmented DNA): no nucleus, only a comet tail. Data was statistically anlysed using the SAS System for Windows. No differences were found on volume, motility, vigour, number of spermatozoa, concentration, acrosomal and membrane integrity, Classes I and III of mitochondrial activity, Comets I, II and IV, TBARS and Glutathione activity. Differences were found on as DAB Classes II (Se=33.39±2.93 and control=44.39±2.59, p=0.0125) and IV (Se=3.44±0.09 and control=1.50±0.38, p=0.0401) and comet class III (Se=16.00 ± 0.82 and control=34.75 ± 1.44, p=<.0001), respectively. The difference found on DAB II may be due to the damages caused by the selenium deficiency to the architecture of the midpiece, which compromises sperm mobility and fertilization capacity. On the other hand, the unexpected difference found on DAB IV may be due to the small values found for this variable in all animals (Se=3.44% and control=1.50%), which would be not significant taking into account all classes. The decreased percentage of sperm showing DNA fragmentation Class II found on the selenium supplemented group may suggest a protective effect of this substance on sperm DNA, possibly due to a higher GPx content.
