1	Subversyvus queer teorijos žvilgsnis: homoseksualaus vyriškumo reprezentacija Gintaro Varno spektakliuose / A subversive aspect of the queer theory: the reprezentation of homosexual males in Gintaras Varnas plays Narauskaitė, Gintarė 13 June 2013 (has links) Lietuvos teatre įsivyravęs hegemoninis heteroseksualus vyriškumas dominuoja didžiojoje dalyje Lietuvos spektaklių. Tuo tarpu homoseksualūs vyrai reprezentuojami sporadiškai, dažnai jiems suteikiamos neigiamos konotacijos, jie tampa parodijiniais spektaklio elementais. Tačiau jau galima prabilti ir apie kitoniškus gėjų vaizdinius Lietuvos teatre, kadangi homoseksualaus vyriškumo tematiką vis aktyviau plėtoja režisierius Gintaras Varnas. Nepaisant ryškėjančio dėmesio netradiciniam vyriškumui Lietuvos scenoje, moksliniame teatrologiniame diskurse ši tema nėra aktyviai analizuojama. Taigi šiame darbe siekiama ne tik atkreipti dėmesį į gėjų reprezentaciją Lietuvos scenoje, bet homoseksualaus vyriškumo vaizdinius ir problematiką išanalizuoti pasitelkiant reikšmingą, XX a. JAV suklestėjusią queer teoriją. Darbe pristatomos queer teorijos susiformavimo aplinkybės ir įtakos, išryškinamos svarbiausios queer teorijos tezės. Tačiau svarbiausias dėmesys skiriamas subversyviam queer teorijos žvilgsniui, kuris įveiksmina heteronormatyvumo dekonstrukciją per šeimos, santuokos institucijų transformacijas heteronormatyvumo sistemoje. Parodoma kokią destabilizuojančią ir asimiliacinę galią formuoja heteroseksualumo simbolių mimikrija. Queer teorija, kvestionuodama heteronormatyvumo konvencionalumą, taip pat atskleidžia kokia stereotipizuojanti galia įveiksminama gėjų bendruomenėse. Pasitelkiant šias teorines subversyvumo tendencijas, analizuojami keturi režisieriaus Gintaro Varno spektakliai...

Meanwhile, the homosexual relationships between men are represented in a sporadic manner and often get negative connotation, as well as, become an element of parody. However, today it is possible to start analysing different images of gays since the theme of homosexual males is being developed intensively by a director Gintaras Varnas. Despite the increasing attention towards the untraditional manhood in the Lithuanian theatre, this subject is not actively analysed in a scientific theatrological discourse. Therefore, this research tries to emphasize the representation of gays in the Lithuanian plays and in order to analyse the homosexual male images and problems it is useful to use the queer theory, which bloomed in the 20th century in the USA. The factors of the development and the origin of the queer theory and the most important theses are presented in this research. Nevertheless, the focus is placed to the subversive aspect of the queer theory, which enables the deconstruction of heteronormativity through the transformations of family and marriage in the system of heteronormativity. The research shows destabilizing and assimilative power, which forms the mimicry of the heterosexual symbols. The queer theory questions the conventionality of heteronormativity and reveals, which stereotypical power is applied in the gay communities. Four plays by Gintaras Varnas (‘Publika’, 1997, ‘Tolima... [to full text] Art Criticism Queer Subversyvumas G. Varnas Homoseksualumas Heteroseksualumas Queer Subversive G.

2	Belief in Karma and Political Attitudes Östervall, Albin January 2022 (has links) Many scholars have discussed the sociopolitical consequences of belief in karma but few have investigated such relationships quantitatively. This study aims to establish empirical patterns concerning the connection between karmic beliefs and attitudes related to (i) political ideology, (ii) ableism, and (iii) views on the death penalty. The study’s theoretical framework is based on a Weberian approach to the study of beliefs (viewing beliefs as having attitudinal implications) and the theory of motivated social cognition. It uses original survey data from an MTurk sample of 330 Indians, which is analyzed through a series of regression models. When using demographic variables as controls, karmic beliefs are shown to correlate significantly (p<0.001) with three conservative dispositions (status quo conservatism, laissez-faire conservatism, authoritarianism); political approval of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party; ideological self-placement; ableist attitudes, and with disapproval of the death penalty. Karmic beliefs are also shown to correlate significantly with social class, and with right-wing views across both social classes and castes. Given these findings, I argue that karmic beliefs are likely to affect various political outcomes in India via their role in shaping the moral and political frameworks of the Indian population. karma karmic belief political attitudes ideology India Indian politics conservative dispositions caste caste system varnas political psychology political sociology conservatism laissez faire authoritarianism status quo conservatism equality BJP motivated social cognition Weber death penalty capital punishment ableism ableist attitudes personal responsibility samsara ahimsa retributivism theodicy just world belief karmic causation justice reasoning legitimizing myth legitimizing ideology Hinduism Hindutva politics religion karma index Political Science Statsvetenskap
