Victorian airbrushing: cultural, physical and artistic representations of upper-class women of then and today

Today\u27s society, much like that of the Victorians, perpetuates the impossible standards of female beauty permeating the culture in music, art, entertainment, and fashion. The existence of a female beauty standard is not new; it persists today, just as heavily as in Victorian England more than a hundred years ago. The physical representation and image of the model Victorian woman seems pervasive during the era, appearing in art, literature, poetry, culture, and sociological studies. Just as before, the wealthy are those most likely to attain the standards of beauty--largely because wealthy or upper middle-class women possess the leisure time and finances to strive to live up to these standards: the airbrushing of today has merely replaced the corsets of that day. Studying popular literature from the period including Peter Ibbetson(1891) by George Du Maurier and Tess of the D\u27Urbervilles (1895) by Thomas Hardy, will provide late-century examples of such representations of the ideal feminine woman. Essentially, this perfect woman is a caricature of a real human being, rendered in an artist\u27s imagination. Even more sad for women today, just as in Victorian times, the social acceptance of these ideals allows them to be perpetuated. Society as a whole subscribes to these ideals, despite their impossibility, and swallows them--internalizing these impossible standards without question

Subdivisions for Biblical Studies, Theology, and Ministry: Making Search Terms Do the Work

Navigating the immense quantity of information available today is a daunting task for most people. As librarians well know, resources available freely from the Internet are easy to search and access, however, not all information needs are satisfied by a Google search. This book focuses on subdivisions that are of explicit value for researchers and librarians in the areas of theology, biblical studies, and pastoral ministry from the perspective of someone studying for Christian ministry or actively involved in ministry. About the Author: Leslie A Engelson Leslie Engelson is currently assistant professor and Metadata Librarian at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky. Prior to this position, she was the Technical Services Librarian at Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington, where she also served as library liaison to NU\u27s College of Ministry. Leslie is keenly interested in finding ways to help people access information, whether that\u27s through talking with faculty about open access, creating quality cataloging records, or encouraging the use of controlled vocabulary in information literacy instruction. Additionally, Leslie teaches a graduate course in organizing and managing library collections in the Library Media Program at MSU.

Authors of pictures, draughtsmen of words

Human thought is unique. We have the ability to create and share meaning through the use of various kinds of symbol systems. This study explored the shared dynamics of visual and verbal symbolic thought processes and their consequences for the acquisition of literacy. In particular, the study focused on the writing, reading, and drawing processes of the children in a process-based first-grade classroom. Research methods included participant/observations, open-ended interviews, audio-taped classroom discussions and interviews, and samples of the writing and drawing of the children in the entire class, with a special focus on five of the students. A detailed analysis of the data revealed that young children strive to transfer the many dimensions of their mental images to the page, especially the dimensions of time, space, movement, and color. As they transfer these images, they rely on both words and pictures in a complementary manner, depending on the task at hand and the cognitive bias of the child. This research calls for an extension of the definition of literacy to include multi-literacies, and further investigations of the fine-tuning of these literacies that occurs beyond elementary school into adulthood
