A narrative pastoral exploration into women's and men's experiences of patriarchy within business contextQuinn, Lorna 30 November 2007 (has links)
This exploration involves the influence of a system of patriarchy on both women and men in an inclusive way within business context.
The work attempts to move away from dualisms that stereotypically define gender according to patriarchy. The challenge of this work is to find ways of describing women and men that is less defined by gender and more about our similarities as human beings. It has been suggested in the research that the business environment is still a male dominated environment. It is therefore the intention of this work to encourage ways of defining ourselves that one person does not hold benefit one over another in an abusive way.
As the system of patriarchy has been endorsed by the church, the research considers how the pastoral therapist may be relevant to the business environment. / Practical Theology / M. Th - Specialising in Pastoral Therapy

‘Swartsmeer’ : ’n studie oor die stereotipering van Afrika en Afrikane in die populere mediaVan Zyl, Christa Engela 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (VA)(Visual Arts))--University of Stellenbosch, 2008. / This thesis consists of a study that identifies and analyses the origins, nature, and spectrum of
different stereotypes of Africans in popular texts.
The past can only be explored through texts, which are unavoidably mediated, re-interpreted,
fictional and temporary. No text can be read in isolation – it is imperative to gain knowledge
about the social and ideological context in the analysis of any historical text.
History shows that racism is a constructed concept, and the roots of stereotypical perceptions of
the ‘Other’ can be found in antiquity – in Ancient Egypt, Classical Greece and the Jewish Torah,
as well as during the Middle Ages. A historical synopsis is given of the conception and
development of racial stereotyping through the ages until the present. The study demonstrates
how stereotypes gradually adapt with history, politics, and ideology. Stereotypes are in my
opinion not necessarily constructed on purpose. Stereotypes are developed and based on
historical events, but are transformed in time to fulfil new purposes. My conclusion is that racist
stereotypes of Africans are created in the West, by the West, for the West.
In many ways, the adaptation of the stereotypes of Africans act as a timeline for Western
involvement on the continent. The stereotypical portrayal of Africa as the Dark Continent, “White
Man’s Burden” and Godforsaken Continent will firstly be studied. Secondly, the depiction of
African-Americans, especially in American popular culture, is discussed through stereotypes like
Mammy, Uncle Tom, Jezebel, and Buck. The theme of my practical component, a two part
series about the Cape Carnival, discusses the stereotype of the “Jolly Hotnot” or “Coon” and
examines the portrayal of Africans as comical.
The study shows the important role popular media plays in spreading and reaffirming
stereotypes. Stereotypes are often used as a survival method to make the multiplicity of reality
manageable, recognisable, and understandable. Stereotyping becomes problematic if the
stereotypes are used as generalisations to marginalise a group in terms of features such as skin
colour. A type of “cultural decolonisation” would be necessary to counteract this marginalisation,
through popular culture created by in Africa, by Africans, for Africans and international popular
culture.

An exploration of gender stereotypes in the work of James HoggLeonardi, Barbara January 2013 (has links)
A self-educated shepherd, Scottish writer James Hogg (1770-1835) spoke from a position outside the dominant discourse, depicting issues of his age related to gender, class, and ethnicity by giving voice to people from the margins and, thus (either consciously or unconsciously), revealing gender politics and Britain's imperial aims. Hogg’s contemporary critics received his work rather negatively, viewing his subjects such as prostitution, out-of-wedlock-pregnancy, infanticide, and the violence of war as violating the principles of literary politeness. Hogg’s obstinacy in addressing these issues, however, supports the thesis that his aim was far more significant than challenging the expectations of his contemporary readers. This project shows that pragmatics can be applied productively to literature because its eclecticism offers the possibility of developing a detailed discussion about three aspects of literary communication—the author, the reader and the text—without prioritising any of them. Literature is an instance of language in use (the field of pragmatics) where an author creates the texts and a reader recreates the author’s message through the text. Analysis of Hogg’s flouting of Grice’s maxims for communication strategies and of his defying the principles of politeness enables a theoretically supported discussion about Hogg’s possible intentions, as well as about how his intentions were perceived by the literary establishment of his time; while both relevance theory and Bakhtin’s socio-linguistics enriched by a historically contextualised politeness shed new light on the negative reception of Hogg’s texts.

Mirror of desire: black dramatic representations of the Haitian revolutionUnknown Date (has links)
This thesis analyzes three of the plays inspired by the Haitian Revolution and
written by black playwrights. The first chapter covers William Edgar Easton’s
Dessalines, a Dramatic Tale: A Single Chapter from Haiti’s History. It discusses
Easton’s decision to depict Dessalines as a man of faith, a believer, a Christian. The
second chapter employs Langston Hughes’ play, Troubled Island, to argue Dessalines’
modernity. The third play, by Saint Lucian playwright Derek Walcott, is The Haitian
Earth. The thesis concludes with a brief discussion of his play and its contribution to
black consciousness. I propose that the revolution plays a major role in World History,
and argue that the Haitian Revolution served as a looking glass to many African
Americans in search of a black identity. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

A test of the effects of linguistic stereotypes in children's animated film: A language attitude study.Trowell, Melody 05 1900 (has links)
This study examined the claim that animated films influence childrens' opinions of accented-English. Two hundred and eighteen 3rd through 5th graders participated in a web-based survey. They listened to speakers with various accents: Mainstream US English (MUSE), African American Vernacular English (AAVE), French, British, and Arabic. Respondents judged speakers' personality traits (Work Ethic, Wealth, Attitude, Intelligence), assigned jobs/life positions, and provided personal information, movie watching habits, and exposure to foreign languages. Results indicate: (1) MUSE ranks higher and AAVE lower than other speakers, (2) jobs/life positions do not correlate with animated films, (3) movie watching habits correlate with AAVE, French, and British ratings, (4) foreign language exposure correlates with French, British, and Arabic ratings.

Bibliotekarien som detektiv : Representationer av bibliotekarier i detektivromaner / The Librarian as Sleuth : Images of Librarians in Mystery NovelsJohansson, Cecilia January 2013 (has links)
This master's thesis is a study of how librarians are depicted in crime fiction. 12 American and English mysterynovels featuring librarians in a central role were studied and analysed using character theory. Recurring traitswere identified and organised into themes. A number of prominent traits and themes emerged that show librariansas orderly and organised bibliophiles, but with a taste for adventure and excitement. They are keen problem solverswho enjoy a challenge, at work, or in the form of crime detection. These traits show fairly different sides ofthe characters, and hint of librarians having something of a dubble nature. Some of the traits resonate with findings in earlier studies in the field, but the old stereotype was only parti -ally confirmed. In general the image of librarians presented in the mystery novels is a positive one, which inmany respects also rings true against the background of actual librarians and library work. This is a two years master's thesis in Archive, Library and Museum studies.
