Development of the Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool (OMSAT).
Creators: name: Bota, Jordache Dumitru.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Education, Physical.

description: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a psychometric instrument called the Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool (OMSAT), which attempted to determine the relative importance of mental skills required to achieve levels of excellence in sport performance. A review of the literature of sport psychology experts Anshel, (1987); Mahoney, (1989); Mahoney, Gabriel & Perkins, (1987); Orlick (1980, 1986, 1992); Seiler, (1992) and Vealey, (1988) was completed and served as the basis for the creation of the OMSAT questionnaire. The questionnaire was initially comprised of 14 scales including a total of 113 questions. The 14 scales were further divided into five major areas: (1) Foundation Skills (commitment, belief); (2) Affective Skills (stress reactions, fear, relaxing, energizing); (3) Cognitive Skills (goal-setting, imagery, mental practice, focus, refocus); (4) Competition Skills (simulation, competition planning); and (5) Team dynamics. The OMSAT questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 486 subjects who were divided into three groups based on their gender, sport discipline and athletic level of achievement. Following statistical analyses (i.e., internal consistency, frequency item distribution) of every question, a new condensed version of the OMSAT was formulated. This new version was comprised of 71 questions within 12 scales. Results of the condensed version of the OMSAT demonstrated high levels of internal consistency (alpha levels above.78), and acceptable levels of test-retest reliability (r levels above.63). Mean score differences indicated that elite athletes scored higher than competitive athletes, who in turn, scored higher than recreational athletes in nearly all of the OMSAT scales. Overall, the OMSAT appears to provide a potentially useful assessment and diagnostic tool for both understanding, and potentially, counselling athletes of different ability levels.

Semiconductor quantum dot lasers.
Creators: name: Hinzer, Karin.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Stimulated emission in semiconductor quantum dot (QD) laser structures is demonstrated. Red-emitting, self-assembled QDs of highly strained InAlAs were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates. Carriers injected electrically from the doped regions of separate confinement heterostructures thermalized efficiently into the zero-dimensional QD states, and stimulated emission at $\sim$707 nm is observed at 77 Kelvin with a threshold current of 175 milliamperes for a 60-$\mu$m by 400-$\mu$m broad area laser. A measured external quantum efficiency of $\sim$8.5% at low temperature with a peak power greater than 200 milliwatts demonstrate good size distribution and high gain in these high-quality QDs. At low temperatures, the lasing threshold currents are found to be more temperature insensitive than for two-dimensional quantum well (QW) lasers. At higher temperatures, the threshold current are governed mainly by the depth of the separate confinement region.
Immunochemical study of human apolipoprotein E: Development of LDL-receptor mimetic monoclonal antibodies, using recombinant DNA approaches.
Creators: name: Raffai, Robert Leslie.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Apolipoprotein (apo)E is a 299 amino acid polypeptide that plays an important role in plasma lipoprotein metabolism. A major physiological function of apoE resides in its ability to be specifically recognized by cellular low-density-lipoprotein receptors (LDLr). A common apoE isoform is defective in its binding to the LDLr and its inheritance can lead to hyperlipidemia. In addition to apoE genetic polymorphism, apoE interaction with the LDLr also depends on apoE conformation. While lipid-free apoE cannot interact with the LDLr, upon binding to lipid, apoE undergoes a conformational change that renders it receptor-competent. Within plasma lipoproteins, apoE is conformationally heterogeneous, with only a subpopulation of apoE molecules having the ability to mediate binding to the LDLr. The goal of my thesis was to investigate the structural modalities that determine the ability of LDL to bind to the LDLr. To this end, I have made use of novel recombinant antibody methodologies, in order to probe the structural basis of the apoE-LDLr interaction. I demonstrate that a monoclonal antibody that is specific for the LDLr binding site on apoE resembles the LDLr in terms of fine specificity and primary structure. Furthermore, by in vitro mutagenesis, I was able to generate a series of variants that differ from the parental antibody in both affinity and apoE isoform specificity. Of particular interest, one variant acquired the ability to recognize apolipoprotein B100, the other ligand of the LDLr. I argue that this variant is an antibody mimetic of the LDLr This panel of anti-apoE recombinant antibodies will be useful reagents for determining the mechanisms involved in the interaction of the LDLr and its ligands. In more general terms, it offers a unique model for studying the molecular recognition processes that occur between protein macromolecules.

Year: 2024

description: A recently proposed global congestion measure for CDMA networks is applied to call admission control, call dropping, and band allocation in multi-carrier CDMA networks. It is shown to perform comparably with existing techniques for call dropping, and better than existing techniques for admission control and band allocation. Difficulties arising in the measurement of this parameter are also investigated.
Giacomo Costantino Beltrami (1779-1855) nella letteratura western
Creators: name: Burini, Emanuela
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: The essay focuses on Beltrami’s Découverte des sources du Mississippi (1824), which directly influenced The Last of the Mohicans (1826), one of the most famous novels by James Fenimore Cooper. The analysis of the two works shows how the same descriptions, dialogues, settings and characters where the action took place, depend on forms of plagiarism as Beltrami himself wrote in some of his travel letters. Furthermore the essay highlights the historical, biographical, and anthropological elements useful for understanding the historical framework in which Beltrami worked, and shows his new perspective on the Native American people.

Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2019

description: We evaluated if and how success perceptions, through target size manipulations, impact processes related to motor learning. This work was based on recent literature suggesting that expectations and self-efficacy exert a direct impact on learning. We measured arousal, kinematics, learner expectancies, motivation, and outcomes in a dart-throwing task. Novices (n = 29) were assigned to either a “Large-target” (horizontal target, 10-cm high) or “Small-target” (2-cm high) group for practice (t = 90), and both groups completed 24-h retention tests. The Small-target group took longer to plan and process feedback in the pre-throw and post-throw periods, respectively, and showed larger joint amplitudes early in practice compared to the Large-target group. As predicted, the Large-target group made more hits and had heightened outcome expectancies compared to the Small-target group. Surprisingly, only the Large-target group performed better than they expected. Despite the Large-target group having more target hits, enhanced expectancies, and more unexpected success, this group did not outperform the Small-target group on behavioural indices of performance and learning. This research questions assumptions and results related to success-related manipulations for task performance and mechanisms related to target size manipulations.

Multi-sensor (IR) data fusion for mobile robot navigation using occupancy grid method.
Creators: name: Gal, Carol.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: The main topic of the thesis is the multi-sensor data fusion in the context of mobile robot navigation. The work presented has been part of a continuous research done in the field of mobile robots. In that respect, a mobile robot platform with an onboard manipulation capability has been developed as an experimental platform for a multi-sensor system for teleautonomous applications in an unstructured environment. Different types of sensors have been provided to gather information about the environment: infrared (IR) range finders, vision, tactile, position. While vision and tactile sensors were approached by other related work, this thesis is essentially aimed to solve the following problems: (1) Mobile robot navigation, in terms of electronic interface and computerized control with real-time range data acquisition for obstacle avoidance, using a GUI (Graphical User Interface); (2) Occupancy grid method implementation using Bayesian analysis for the case of an IR ranging sensor; (3) Unstructured environment mapping, in the context of multi-sensor data fusion of mobile robot views taken from different given positions; (4) Global map integration with other types of sensory information (vision).
A near-infrared ?0,K - log h relation for early-type spiral galaxy disks
Creators: name: Graham, Alister
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The K-band light-profiles from a sample of roughly 100 disk galaxies have been simultaneously modelled with a seeing convolved Sersic r1/n bulge and an exponential disk. Rather than a constant central disk surface brightness, in the near-infrared, ?0,K is shown to decrease with the logarithm of the disk scale-length (log h) - with a correlation coefficient equal to 0.78, a slope of -2, and a standard deviation of 0.47 mag arcsec-2. Galaxy types Scd or later are observed to have fainter disks.
Global Englishes: WE, EIL, ELF and English Language Teaching. An Overview of Research Literature
Creators: name: Vettorel, Paola
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: The article is aimed at presenting an overview of recent research studies dealing with the pedagogical implications of research into World Englishes (WE), English as an International Language (EIL) and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). The paper is structured into two main parts: the first section includes a table summarising main research findings dealing with WE, EIL and ELF in terms of pedagogic practices, that have been organized according to five main areas: sociolinguistic awareness of the plurality of English; exemplifications of the diversity and plurality of Englishes and of ELF; Englishes and ELF in ELT – materials implementation and examples of materials/activities; use of English in the out-of-school environment; appropriation of English: language creativity in EIL/ELF settings; accommodation and communication strategies for effective and cooperative interaction; strategic competence; focus on intelligibility; intercultural communication and cross-cultural sensitivity. The second part of the article consists in an annotated bibliography of research works that have taken into consideration aspects connecting WE and EIL/ELF with pedagogic practices, from textbook evaluation to projects dealing with classroom activities and proposals; the bibliography also includes a specific section on teacher education, another area that has seen a significant development over the last five years, and is thus meant to be complementary to the table presented in the first section.

Generation of tests from labeled event structures

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: In this thesis, we present an algorithm for generating test cases for both control flow and data flow oriented testing from a given labeled event structure. A labeled event structure represents the behavior of a distributed system given as a system of asynchronously communicating EFSMs. Labeled event structure preserves the independency of events occurring at different EFSMs and reduces the combinatorial explosion in the number of possible event sequences (interleavings). Our system increases the input domain of the specifications of EFSMs by supporting actions of input, output, assignment, set, reset, timeout and procedure call. The set of tests for control flow oriented testing generated by our system satisfies all-nodes test selection criterion and the set of tests for data flow oriented testing generated by our system satisfies all-uses test selection criterion. All tests constructed by our system are feasible because of the absence of path predicates in the labeled event structure. Our system takes in a labeled event structure, converts the information of the labeled event structure into a set of defined internal data structures. Then, by analyzing control and data dependencies of the labeled event structure, two sets of tests (one set for control flow oriented testing and the other set for data flow oriented testing) are obtained. Finally, all the tests are output in textual MSC format. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Risk, media and drinking water: An analysis of the media's construction of the Walkerton risk event
Creators: name: Mistry, Bhavnita
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Geography.
subject: Mass Communications.

description: The contamination of the local drinking water supplies in Walkerton, Ontario, in May 2000 was a highly publicized public health risk event, where seven people died and 2,300 other individuals became ill. The analysis of the media construction of the Walkerton risk event reveals how the media uses important elements of risk to construct this event. The analysis shows how trust and blame issues are used to create this community, by constructing messages about how the community dealt with this risk event. The analysis also reveals how the media concentrate on the negative aspects of the risk, such as the health issues, that aid in framing the stories in a negative tone. Moreover, the analysis illustrates the relative importance of this risk issue on the Canadian media's agenda, for the duration of the study period. These factors may influence public perceptions of risk regarding drinking water.

description: Low temperature electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements have been made to clarify the origin and nature of paramagnetic electronic states responsible for the observed EPR signal in P+-implanted C60 films. The data collected from the temperature dependence of the EPR signal intensity and the spin susceptibility revealed that the unpaired spin fellows the Curie law at T < 20 K, while a clear deviation was observed at about T > 20 K. The temperature dependence of the linewidths indicates that the spin mobility occurs by hopping motion. In addition, the relation among defects, electrical, and optical properties was detected and analyzed. Finally, this study suggests that the transport mechanism occurs by hopping motion and the unpaired spins are partially localized.
“L’unico indiano buono è un indiano muto.” Un’analisi contrastiva inglese/italiano del discorso filmico western
Creators: name: Carbonara, Lorena
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: This paper focuses on the contrastive analysis (English/Italian) of the trailers of two important films in the history of the western genre: Stagecoach/Ombre rosse (1939) and Dances With Wolves/Balla coi lupi (1990). Following the “discourse-historical” approach proposed by Ruth Wodak and Martin Reisigl (2001), the analysis of the discourse of power at play on the American frontier is conducted in order to emphasise the presence of a strongly connoted language that describes both Indians and pioneers. Taking into account the historical, political and sociological dimension in the analysis and interpretation of this specific discursive occasion (Wodak and Reisigl 2001), this paper aims at giving a brief overview of how native languages and native people were (mis)represented in western films, with a focus on two transnationally successful films.

description: In this work, we provide a qualitative comparison between existing geocast protocols and then we present an efficient geocast routing protocol for VANET. This protocol is a semantic and self-decision geocast routing protocol for disseminating safety and non-safety information over VANET (SAS-GP). SAS-PG initially executes an algorithm to locally determine the semantic geocast area. Then, the protocol disseminates the information in three phases: Spread, Preserve, and Assurance, which utilize the traffic information system and the digital map. SAS-GP principally employs timer-based techniques in order to avoid overhead and broadcast storm problems; nonetheless, novel factors are enhanced to calculate the timer’s values in each phase. Simulation results demonstrate effective and reliable dissemination in terms of delivery ratio and number of false warnings compared to existing protocols when evaluated in high scale and realistic scenarios. Also, SAS-GP performs faster in notifying vehicles resulting in a higher geocast distance before approaching the location of the event.
Thermal dissociation and desorption: A Nose equation approach.
Creators: name: Liu, Li.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Physical.

description: In this theoretical study, I have applied the Nose-Hoover equations of motion with and without rotational considerations to the thermal dissociation of a diatomic molecule, H$\sb2$ in an inert gas. I calculated the pseudo-unimolecular rate constants and activation energy of thermal dissociation. My calculated values of the activation energy agree with the results of other research quite well. In addition, I have shown that the inclusion of rotation in the Nose-Hoover equations of motion does not cause the Nose-Hoover dynamics to be more ergodic, but such inclusion does promote the dissociation of diatomics. Moreover, I have demonstrated an example in which the Nose-Hoover equation of motion can be applied to the thermal desorption of H atoms from a LiF (001) surface. In this case, the surface acts as a thermal bath.

Cultural difference in the visual interface the development of interface design processes for multicultural audiences
Creators: name: Tong, Min Choy
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Acknowledging cultural differences in the development of visual interface design is an important factor in many multicultural settings. In this case I will be investigating the cultural and ethnic mix of Malaysia, taking official government websites as a case study. In Malaysia, Malays, Chinese and Indians live in a pluralistic society but are treated by the government as separate communities. Each ethnic group has been able to retain its cultural identity through individual languages, religion and traditions. Most of the government websites however, exclusively privilege Malay users through language and cultural elements. Despite this, Malaysia’s brand of multiculturalism endeavours to consider diversity as a positive resource, with government policy promoting tolerance between the ethnic groups to maintain a harmonious and unified society. Vision 2020 has been initiated by the Malay Government to fulfil this goal of promoting intercultural understanding within Malaysia’s multi-ethnic society. This research investigates effective strategies for the development of a truly representative visual interface design within a multicultural context in the spirit of Vision 2020. This project employs Power Distance (PD) and Collectivism-Individualism (CI) from Hoftstede’s model of cultural analysis and Aaron Marcus’s approach to multi-dimensional web-interface analysis to identify current representations of multicultural Malaysia. “Cultural Markers” and case study analysis are conducted as methodologies for investigating, theorising developing and designing visual interface design. Several Style Menus are developed to demonstrate different methods of cultural inclusion and accommodate a more accurate expression of revised government policy.
Louis W. Ballard e la musica colta dei nativi americani

description: Louis Wayne Ballard (1931-2007) was the first native american to become a classical composer in the tradition of Western music. Despite to his historic importance, his figure is not yet so well-known and his music is rarely performed even in the States. This short essay tries to bring a contribution to a better knowledge of Louis W Ballard’s personality, his life and his music. His style combined the strong commitment in Native American music with his deep knowledge of Western music to create a unique compositional style, and was endeavoring a better awareness of Native American aesthetics in the mainstream consciousness of Western audiences. This study shows Native American influence in Ballard's compositions as well the development of his own style, thanks to the influences of such teachers as Béla Rósza, Darius Milhaud and Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco. It includes a short list of his major works for piano, choir, orchestra and chamber ensembles. This study reports the pedagogical aspects of Ballard’s work, including books on Native American music and dance. This contribution aims to make his works more accessible for performers and teachers and introduce audiences to an important figure, not only for Native American culture but also for American music in full.

description: La thèse proposée en regard des avancees technologiques récentes ayant trait au corps, d'explorer le statut du sujet lorsque celui-ci est place dans des situations ou la rationalité et l'individualité, mots-clés d'une représentation moderne de la subjectivité, ne peuvent définir le sujet en raison du rôle que les biotechnologies jouent en ces situations. L'analyse du contenu d'un corpus tire de l'anthropologie médicale touchant aux biotechnologies liées, d'un côte, à la reproduction et à la naissance, et, de l'autre, à la maladie, est développée. La conclusion montre que la subjectivité moderne, qui s'est transformée en une représentation contemporaine, est principalement caractérisée par une dissociation accrue entre corps et esprit qui s'exprime comme un acte d'objectivation du corps. L'objectivation du corps mise en lumière permet d'envisager le sujet contemporain comme découlant des possibilités d'automodification que la biotechnologie lui ouvre. Les perspectives éthique et politique que ce nouveau positionnement du sujet sont élaborées en terme de quête de l'homme intermédiaire et de préoccupation pour la durée (sustainability).
Quel giorno a Shongopovi: pensieri e ricordi sui “miei” indiani
Creators: name: Mariani, Giorgio
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: Italian interest in things American Indian is literally centuries-old. The incorporation of American Indian studies into Italian American Studies, however, is a much more recent phenomenon. It was only in the late 1960’s and then during the 1970’s that Italian scholars of American literature began to take a strong interest in American Indian topics and issues. The essay highlights, from an autobiographical perspective, the historical and institutional circumstances through which American Indian studies became first a legitimate and later an important part of the Italian tradition of American Studies. From his early fascination with the mythic Wild West to his involvement with the “Indiani Metropolitani” movement of the late 1970’s, the author describes how a unique mix of personal, political, and historical factors turned him into a student of contemporary American Indian literature. Writing from an avowed self-reflective perspective, the essay traces the contours and achievements of American Indian studies—and especially American Indian literary studies—in Italy over the past few decades.

description: Carbonate buildups of late-Ludlow-Pridoli age occur within an extensive Silurian reef 'belt' in the Canadian Arctic Islands. Two phases of mound development were documented. The buildups include mudmounds in the uppermost Douro Formation on western Devon Island, and skeletal mounds in the Devon Island Formation on southwestern Ellesmere, North Kent, and Seal islands and Colin Archer Peninsula on Devon Island. The mudmounds average 50m in diameter and 15m in height, and are composed predominantly of sparsely fossiliferous lime mudstone containing sponge spicules and micrite fabrics of probable microbial tabulate origin. In a few small ($\sim$3m diameter x 0.5m high) mudmounds, abundant, well-preserved lithistid sponges and distinct microbial fabrics represent an intimate association of encrusting, binding, baffling and sediment-producing constructors. Coral skeletal mounds, averaging 100m in diameter and 35m in height, have stromatactoid-rich mudstone cores and grade upwards from mudstone into fasciculate coral-floatstone and crinoidal wackestone. In contrast, in a skeletal mound core on North Kent Island, a floatstone facies characterized by fasciculate rugose and tabulate corals, and large tabular stromatoporoids, is overlain by a mudstone core facies. Although the skeletal mounds have been completely altered to a fine-grained dolomite, relict fabrics are preserved and suggest a diagenetic sequence similar to that for the mudmounds. The mudmounds grew during a period of substantial platform drowning, apparently related to tectonic movement on the Boothia Uplift. Farther north, growth of the skeletal mounds began on favourable highs of the drowned carbonate ramp, and continued as basinal siliciclastic muds accumulated. The event represented by the hardground and associated physical features can be correlated with related features in buildups farther south where the Douro ramp instead evolved into a carbonate shelf, represented by the Barlow Inlet Formation.

New Trends in Native American Studies: The Road Back to Sweetgrass and the Palimpsest Approach to Native Fiction
Creators: name: Martínez-Falquina, Silvia
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: This article reflects on recent developments in the broad category of Native American Studies, as it offers a particular proposal of analysis for contemporary Native literature which is based on the palimpsest metaphor. The text first revises the dialogue of Native Studies with the Turn to Ethics, emphasizing the primary ceremonial—or transformative—motivation of Native writing, and with Trauma Studies, offering a re-mapping of the paradigm by theorizing Native American grief and its political implications when expressed in literature. It then covers several recently articulated developments of Native storytelling: the dialogues between storytelling and theories; the concept of tribalography; and the recent turn to theory in Native studies. Arguing that the future of Native American Studies will necessarily have to reach for some level of balance between difference and relation, it reflects on contemporary Native identity, best illustrated by Gerald Vizenor’s concepts of the postindian and transmotion. The author then connects all these developments to the palimpsest metaphor, arguing that its emphasis on difference and relation, which come from the simultaneous view of the palimpsestic and the palimpestuous ways of understanding the metaphor, offers a useful way to interpret contemporary Native American literatures and identity, for it conveniently addresses the double reference to survival and the threat of disintegration that Native writing is largely based on. The article then analyses Linda LeGarde Grover’s The Road Back to Sweetgrass (2014) from the palimpsestic/palimpestuous perspective, examining the textual efforts to rescue hidden or written-upon meanings, and asserting the way in which those recovered voices are brought to the surface and are simultaneously acknowledged as part of a larger whole, as engaging in dialogic relation to a series of other voices with which they coexist in tension and contradiction. The double motivation of this reading—that of recovering, digging, denouncing, and of vindicating belonging, equality, and our common humanity—is key to the understanding of Native literature as a form of activism.

The Inscription of the American Southwest in Navajo Tribal Parks
Creators: name: Martín Junquera, Imelda
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: This article aims at pointing out and analyzing the different uses and transformations of the landscape of Navajo tribal parks through the films of John Ford and the Native American literature of the Southwest of the United States. These parks, especially Monument Valley, located between Arizona and Utah, stand as a sign of power and victory for the Western immigrants and explorers and as a site of resistance for the indigenous inhabitants. These inhabitants were once displaced and dispossessed of their lands, during the advance of the frontier towards the Pacific Ocean, thus, creating the fictitious idea of an uninhabited wilderness.

Regulation of Inverted Formin-1 (INF1) by Microtubule-Affinity Regulating Kinase 2 (MARK2)

description: The actin and microtubule cytoskeleton plays a critical role in the establishment of cell polarity. Cell processes like mitosis and migration rely on the reorganization of the cytoskeleton to properly function. One driver of cell polarity is the formin, Inverted Formin-1 (INF1). INF1 is able to induce F-actin formation, activate the Serum Response Factor (SRF) pathway, stabilize microtubules, associate with microtubules, and disperse the Golgi body. Regulation of INF1 is unique, since it does not possess conserved formin regulatory domains. However, INF1 does possess many potential phosphorylation sites. In this study, we demonstrate that INF1’s ability to induce F-actin stress fibers and activate SRF is inhibited by Microtubule-Affinity Regulating Kinase 2 (MARK2). Inhibition of INF1’s actin polymerization activity by MARK2 likely occurs near INF1’s C-terminus. However, MARK2 was unable to inhibit INF1’s ability to stabilize microtubules, associate with microtubules, and disperse the Golgi. Furthermore, we show that INF1 overexpression is associated with primary cilium absence and in some cases, the presence of long cilia, suggesting that INF1 plays a role in primary cilium formation.
Racialized Beauty: The Construction of Racialized-Gendered Identities in the Works of Toni Morrison
Creators: name: Melodia Festa, Beatrice
Publisher: name: Iperstoria
Year: 2020

description: The aim of this essay is to discuss and thus analyze the construction of racialized-gendered identities in the novels of Toni Morrison. Following this line of thought, this essay delves into a discussion on the Western aesthetic imposition of white beauty and the consequent “racialization” of black pulchritude. The literary representation par excellence of the social construction of beauty and the achievement of a white self, which conforms to traditional Western aesthetic parameters, can be found in the novels of Toni Morrison who illustrates the emotional journey for a self-making process from a feminist perspective. We will focus our analysis mainly on three novels: The Bluest Eye (1970), Song of Solomon (1977) and Tar Baby (1981). In this way, we will analyze Morrison’s usage of the concept of beauty to represent the relationship between a white-dominant society and a black-subaltern community. In this way, I intend to explore the aspiration for an ideal beauty which questions the value and cultural significance of African-American identity through the complex psychological and emotional perspective of vulnerable female characters. The ultimate aim of this essay is to look at the root to African-American identity from the feminist fictional response of Toni Morrison. I would furthermore argue that the recurrent refrain of the imposition of aesthetic canons of beauty will eventually explain the splitting of the self as a familiar theme in her narrative.
