The Arab as spectacle: race, gender and representation in Australian popular cultureAbood, Paula, School of English, UNSW January 2007 (has links)
This thesis, The Arab as Spectacle, is about representation. It is about the limits and the contradictions of representation. It is about the burden and the violence of representation. It is about the persistence of Orientalism and how the hierarchies of race and gender intersect with discourses on sexuality to inform and inflect the representation of Arabs in contemporary literary and media spheres of Australian popular culture. This thesis comprises two sections. Part One is a research dissertation that explores the strategies, devices and parameters of the representation of Arabic culture and identities through close readings of specific texts. This theoretical project inaugurates the second part of my study which takes up the question of the contradictions of representation through a collection of ficto-critical writings. Through these satirical narratives, I seek to expose and disrupt the hegemony of Orientalist representations that proliferate in English language literature and news media by bringing into focus the inherent paradox of representation, working within and against Orientalist representational traditions. In so doing, it is not my aim to 'correct' the Orientalist logic and imagery that I theorise in the first part of this thesis, but rather to undermine the spurious truth-value of Orientalist representations by deploying the literary weapons of satire, parody and irony. In this way, my fiction works to engage creatively and critically with the very tropes that I theorise in my research dissertation.

Undergraduates' familiarity with and preference for Arabic music in comparison with other world musicAlkoot, Hamid A. January 2009 (has links)
This study examined undergraduate, non-music majors’ familiarity with and preference
for Arabic music as compared to other world music. Several factors were examined to assess
their effect on music preference including familiarity, musical characteristics, and student
characteristics. Study participants included 203 undergraduate, non-music majors enrolled in six
sections of music appreciation classes. Participants were divided into Caucasian and non-
Caucasian groups ranging from 18 to 42 years of age. Music excerpts from Africa (Congo), Latin
America (Mexico), Asia (Japan), and the Middle East (Kuwait) were used as examples of
different world music. Arabic music was introduced as a new factor in this study that had not been explored in previous research. Knowing about students’ familiarity and preference for
Arabic music may help in understanding the ramifications of its inclusion in music programs,
and the proper method of introducing it to the students in the classroom. Participants listened to the 12 musical excerpts and completed the WMFPT questionnaire. Results indicated that
participants were not familiar with the world music excerpts, but did like the excerpts to a
moderate degree. Significant positive relationships were found between preference and
familiarity, within preference ratings, and within familiarity ratings. The most influential musical characteristics in liking world music were rhythm, tempo, and timbre, with rhythm being the most influential. Participants’ background seems to have no significant relationship with either familiarity or preference. Results revealed that playing a musical instrument, musical training, and previous exposure to music of other cultures significantly affected preference and familiarity ratings. / School of Music
