Gay and Lesbian Culture? Not!
[ send me this paper ]
(11 pp). Unless you just arrived from an alien
planet in the last twenty minutes there is little
chance, that definition of gay or lesbian culture
is without some framework in your life. Gone are
the days when one could put there hand over their
mouth, gasp in horror, --"well I certainly don't
know any." Whether one makes judgments about this
"alternative life style," or same-sex couples is
another issue. We will be exploring where the
culture is today, in this paper.

In Nair's film, gender and Indian ethnicity are addressed within the context of a modern romantic comedy that deftly combines elements of the new Westernized India, with respected and honored traditions. Ondaatje's novel is a story of Canadian immigration and emphasizes the wealth of diversity that various immigrants have brought to the city of Toronto. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Gender and Modernist Implications of Selected Portions of Virginia Woolf’s “The Waves”
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page analysis of Virginia Woolf’s thematic presentation of women and their role society. Rather than resorting to the stereotypical images of women which so much predominated literature at this point in history, Woolf exposes us to a view of women which suggests independence and fortitude. Through this work we are presented with a significant reconsideration of culture and gender and pertinent observation on the way people act within a specific cultural context to deliberately alter those very contexts. Suggest that in many ways this book appears to be written in direct opposition to the concepts of Straussian theory, a theory of binary opposition between nature and culture which revolves around the economic value of the wife in a patriarchal society with the contention the woman was not a subject but an object to be bartered in the interest of promoting the all-important male status. Bibliography lists 3
sources.
