2	Negotiating Identity in the Transnational Imaginary of Julia Alvarez's and Edwidge Danticat's Literature Kerby, Erik R. 13 June 2008 (has links) (PDF) The increased contact between nations and cultures in the globalization of the twenty-first century requires an increased accountability for the ways in which individuals and countries negotiate these points of contact. New World and Caribbean Studies envision the cross-cultural and transnational encounters between indigenous, European, and African peoples as important contributors to a paradigm within which identity in relation offers an alternative to identities rooted in national and filial frameworks. Such frameworks limit the ability to construct identity without relying upon static representations of history, culture, and ethnicity that tend to privilege one group over another. In the literature of Edwidge Danticat and Julia Alvarez, however, a fictional space is created that rewrites national histories and problematizes rooted identities through their novels' characterization. This fictional space is a transnational paradigm that—in the vocabulary of the critical theories of Édouard Glissant, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, and David A. Hollinger—explores the effects of cultures founded on ideas of relation and affiliation rather than on rooted socio-cultural legitimacy and ethno-political authority. Danticat and Alvarez's characters engage in a process of present living that allows them to negotiate their experience of diaspora and maintain a stable construction of identity in relation.

3	Female Friendship Films: A Post-Feminist Examination of Representations of Women in the Fashion Industry Geloğullari, Gülin 12 1900 (has links) This thesis focuses on three fashion industry themed female friendship films: Pret-a-Porter/Ready to Wear (1994) by Robert Altman, The Devil Wears Prada (2006) by David Frankel, and The September Issue (2009) by R.J. Cutler. Female interpersonal relationships are complex – women often work to motivate, encourage and transform one another but can just as easily use tactics like intimidation, manipulation, and exploitation in order to save their own jobs and reputations. Through the lens of post-feminist theory, this thesis examines significant female interpersonal relationships in each film to illustrate how femininity is constructed and driven by consumer culture in the fashion industry themed films. fashion fashion industry fashion films post-feminism post-feminist theory women representations of women misrepresentations of women consumer culture film analysis female friendships female friendship films The Devil Wears Prada Pret-a-Porter/Ready to Wear The September Issue Robert Altman R.J Cutler David Frankel Angela McRobbie Karen Hollinger Tasker and Negra Anna Wintour Grace Coddington Vogue fashion magazines fashion reporters fashion and post-feminism women's relationships Fine Arts Women's Studies Journalism Prêt-à-porter (Motion picture) September issue (Motion picture) Devil wears Prada (Motion picture) Female friendship in motion pictures.
