Download or read book The Doll Project written by Tiffany Gholar and published by Tiffany Gholar. This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Barbie to blame for giving girls body image issues, or are there larger forces at work? The Doll Project explores the influence of visual culture and societal norms while caricaturing and satirizing unattainable standards of beauty. In a world where girls gather online to remind each other that "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" and diet ads ask "what will you gain when you lose," even Barbie is never thin enough. The Doll Project dramatizes this quest for perfection in miniature. Each picture tells a story from my perspective as an ambivalent doll collector who has a love/hate relationship with the fashion industry. The photographs in this series show how both the iconic fashion doll and the fashion world around her have changed in the decades since her introduction, and culminate in a dynamic poster designed to remind women and girls to love and accept themselves no matter what they look like.

Download or read book Making Japanese Heritage written by Christoph Brumann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the making of heritage in contemporary Japan, investigating the ways in which particular objects, practices and institutions are ascribed public recognition and political significance. Through detailed ethnographic and historical case studies, it analyses the social, economic, and even global political dimensions of cultural heritage. It shows how claims to heritage status in Japan stress different material qualities of objects, places and people - based upon their ages, originality and usage. Following on an introduction that thoroughly assesses the field, the ethnographic and historiographic case studies range from geisha; noh masks; and the tea ceremony; urban architecture; automata; a utopian commune and the sites of Mitsubishi company history. They examine how their heritage value is made and re-made, and appraise the construction of heritage in cases where the heritage value resides in the very substance of the object’s material composition - for example, in architecture, landscapes and designs - and show how the heritage industry adds values to existing assets: such as sacredness, urban charm or architectural and ethnic distinctiveness. The book questions the interpretation of material heritage as an enduring expression of social relations, aesthetic values and authenticity which, once conferred, undergoes no subsequent change, and standard dismissals of heritage as merely a tool for enshrining the nation; supporting the powerful; fostering nostalgic escapism; or advancing capitalist exploitation. Finally, it considers the role of people as agents of heritage production, and analyses the complexity of the relationships between people and objects. This book is a rigorous assessment of how conceptions of Japanese heritage have been forged, and provides a wealth of evidence that questions established assumptions on the nature and social roles of heritage.

Book excerpt: Song of Silver Lake, Book 1 "Ruth" A young woman, searching a way out of an abusive home in Seattle agreed to become the surrogate mother to a wealthy, childless couple. A change of heart compelled the woman to keep the infant and escape to Silver Lake, Idaho. Still, six years later, racked with consuming guilt over her monetary theft, and fearful of the legal reprisals of abducting her own child, the young mother resigned herself to being a fugitive the rest of her life. Then she met the truck driver, Clay. Song of Silver Lake, Book 2 "Audrey" Frustrated with her life as a single, 28 year old woman, Audrey joined a Christian online dating service in Silver Lake, Idaho. Using the e-name Flower Girl, she met White Knight. White Knight was the man she'd been looking for like forever! He shared her religious and family values and, when Audrey poured out her heart, he seemed to listen with all of his heart. "I love you, White Knight." Audrey met another man, Dan Echo, a clerk at the local Ace Hardware. Everything went wrong when she needed to buy a simple chair bolt for her broken desk chair. Poorly versed in hardware terminology, Audrey tried describing the bolt which only confused Dan. "Ma'am, sounds like you really need a nipple. Does your bolt have male or female threads?" Audrey concluded that Dan Echo was crude, rude, and condescending. She learned later that Dan Echo was pastor of a small church and suspected he had a problem with pornography. Dan Echo was definitely bad news. Best to steer clear. Audrey and Dan didn't know that Flower Girl and White Knight were the same persons. Song of Silver Lake, Book 3 "Grace" 17 year old Grace only knew one profession, prostitution. Her mother, Veronica, taught her well. After Veronica was arrested on drug charges, Grace, and her 21 year old mentally retarded sister, Fanny, were taken to the Pocatello Juvenile Dependent Unit. Fearful the authorities would split up the sisters, they escaped to Silver Lake, Idaho. Hiding in their grandparents abandoned travel trailer at the lake, Grace provided for her and Fanny by soliciting drivers at the truck stop. "Hi, like some company?" Providence changed the sister's lives forever when Grace knocked on Clay's truck.

Download or read book Preventing Eating Disorders among Pre Teen Girls written by Beverly Menassa and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-06-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A must for parents, teachers and counselors, this book targets preadolescent girls aiming to engage them in educational activites that will empower them to avoid eating disorders. The author examines eating disorders from sociocultural and feminist perspectives showing how disorders are most often caused by overexposure to media messages, an unrealistic cultural fascination with thinness, by continuous anaylsis of our bodies and a disordered cultural view of food. Then Menassa presents a 10-session guide to prevention that engages girls in activities to spur and empower their independent thinking and reasoning. For example, girls become watchdogs of the media and write to companies that present women in a negative light in their advertisements. The girls challenge ingrained beliefs and replace them with healthier ones. Preadolescence is a time when girls' minds are malleable and they are willing to challenge established activities, such as media presentations. Once girls hit puberty, many will have already developed disordered eating behaviors; many will have been on several diets; therefore, beginning the work to decode and combat harmful messages before that stage is crucial.
