Submission or Subversion: Women with Shaved Hair in Media
“It is quite obvious that the shaving of heads fundamentally damages the physical and moral integrity of those people for whom it was intended,” Fabrice Virgili asserts in his book Shorn Women: Gender and Punishment in Liberation France (135). For centuries, hair has been held as a standard of feminine beauty, therefore a lack of it has a long and storied history as well. Records of head shaving as a form of punishment for women can be traced back to Ancient Greek and Roman times. Shaving a woman’s head was a sign of sin and shame, and stripped them of their femininity and identity

Quantum Treatment of the Multiple Scattering and Collective Flow in Intensity Interferometry
We apply the path-integral method to study the multiple scattering and
collective flow in intensity interferometry in high-energy heavy-ion
collisions. We show that the Glauber model and eikonal approximation in an
earlier quantum treatment are special examples of the more general
path-integral method. The multiple scattering and collective flow lead
essentially to an initial source at a shifted momentum, with a multiple
collision absorption factor that depends on the pion absorption cross section
and a phase factor that depends on the deviations of the in-medium particle
momenta from their asymptotic values.Comment: 6 pages, in LaTex, to be published in the Proceedings of the Workshop
