This dissertation explores the adaptation of traditionally objectified women''s spaces, into an arena for leadership development, research which incorporates the development of culturally relevant mechanisms of leadership training within Indigenous societies. Cultural pageants offer a place for young women to become spokespersons on social justice issues, without the sexual objectification of entering beauty pageants. Such pageants also provide a glimpse of how cultural groups wish their national identity to be portrayed to the general public. Fifty years in the making, today''s Native Nations cultural pageants have been decolonized to present images of young leaders, confident in their heritage, introducing themselves in their Native language, and committed to cultural continuity and sustainable Nations. This research examines a state-wide Alaska Native pageant, Miss World Eskimo Indian Olympics, from three perspectives: 1) The young women who develop culturally based leadership skills; 2) The community, who gains language and cultural, revitalization and maintenance role models; 3) And the general public, who gains a much needed positive representation of a contemporary Indigenous women. This study draws from interdisciplinary theories and research methodologies (including observation, in-depth interviews, questionnaires, surveys, and archival research) and follows the young women through to the contest at the national level, Miss Indian World, run annually in Albuquerque, through Gathering of Nations. The underlying hypothesis is that women use cultural pageants as a stepping stone to advance their cultural leadership. In doing so, they promote factors of community well-being affecting Indigenous communities, such as suicide prevention, substance abuse, and language and cultural revitalization.

Historically, Hollywood fiction films have presented the South through three representational lenses: the South as Old South, the South as other, and the South as battleground of the Civil Rights movement. In fact, by the mid-twentieth century, these fictional images began to seep into the public imagination of the region and its people. In Framing the South, Allison Graham claims, "By 1957, many white southerners knew their necks were red, and most black southerners knew they were voiceless images in a tale of blood and vengeance. They''d read it all before ... They''d seen it in the movies" (1-2). It is not surprising, then, that with the emergence of accessible documentary filmmaking tools in the late twentieth century Southerners began to comment filmically on their cinematic image. In my project, I examine the ways in which auto-ethnographic Southern documentaries utilize the medium to respond the constructed nature of the abovementioned cinematic representations of the South. Moreover, I discuss how each auto-ethnographic Southern documentary highlights the ways in which films, including their own, manipulate cultural representation. Specifically, I examine Ross McElwee''s Sherman''s March (1986), Elizabeth Barret''s Stranger with a Camera (1999), Andrew Douglas''s Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus (2003), Christie Herring and Andre Robinson''s Waking in Mississippi (1998), and Charlene Gilbert''s Homecoming ... Sometimes I am Haunted by Memories of Red Dirt and Clay (1999). By analyzing these films against their respective Hollywood representations, I illuminate the methods by which the directors take back their image through illustrating the constructed nature of depictions in their own films. In doing this, the auto-ethnographers undermine the representations in fiction films and highlight the fabrication involved in capturing Southern identities.

Contemporary Indigenous women''s literature illustrates how American Indian women facilitate adaptation from "traditional" communities to diverse urban communities. The objective of this study is to examine how Northern Athabascan women lead in communities which are not exclusive to these Indigenous peoples. The use of Athabascan values such as self-sufficiency, hard work, practice of traditions, caring, sharing, family relations, and respect for elders and others, can be seen as one example of how women lead in non-"traditional" communities. This thesis examines Athabascan women leaders who have worked at two seasonal Native-owned hotels in Alaska as a case study to examine how women lead. By analyzing the women of Doyon Tourism Inc. through the framework of Athabascan values, evidence of cultural continuity can be seen through the sustained use of "traditional" values.

A lucid introduction to post-Marxist political philosophy, this work offers a balanced assessment of the philosophy and political thought of Baruch de Spinoza. It explores the influence of Spinoza upon Louis Althusser and some of his contemporaries. The positions of a range of modern political philosophers who think with, beyond, or against Althusser are explored, including Etienne Balibar, Antonio Negri, and Slavjob Zizek. Ideology and political critique, democracy and exclusion, language and power, and imagination and subjectivity are among the topics discussed, arguing that many of Spinoza''s ideas find radical expression in Althusserian and post-Althusserian political philosophy.

French philosophy and cultural theory continue to hold a prestigious and influential position in European thought. One of the central themes of contemporary French philosophy is its concern with the theoretical and political status of the subject, a question which has been broached by structuralists and poststructuralists through an analysis of the construction of the subject in and by language, discourse, power and ideology.Contemporary French Philosophy outlines the construction of the subject in modern philosophy, focusing in particular on the seminal work of Althusser, Lacan, Derrida and Foucault. The book interrogates some of the most influential perspectives on the question of the subject to contest those postmodern voices which announce its disappearance or death. It argues instead that the question of the subject persists, even in those perspectives which seek to abandon it altogether.Providing a broad introduction to the field and an original analysis of some of the most influential theorists of the 20th Century, the book will be of great interest to political and literary theorists, cultural historians, as well as to philosophers.

Waterloo saw the end of Bonaparte and of the blockade of trade with Europe. None saw more benefit than the Channel Islanders and for the next half century they developed a lucrative, world-wide carrying trade which built fortunes in St Helier and St Peter Port for ship-builders, ship-owners and mariners. From about 1865 those trades declined âe¦ Guernsey diversified into stone quarrying, whilst Jersey developed the export of the new potato and tourism. This significant contribution to the history of the islands compares the impact of the expansion.
