Celebrity, Nation, and the New Australian Woman: Tania Verstak, Miss Australia 1961

This article examines two women who signified the 'ideal' feminine for Australians and represented the Australian nation on the global stage: Beryl Mills, the first Miss Australia, crowned in 1926, and Tania Verstak, Miss Australia 1961. Both women gained celebrity through their role as Miss Australia, but Tania Verstak is of particular significance as the first 'new Australian' woman to win the coveted title. The strategy of viewing the two women as embodying the Australian nation reveals some of the dramatic social shifts that occurred in the Australian consciousness over the thirty-five years that separated the two title-holders; furthermore, it demonstrates how those shifts reshaped Australia's national identity and its feminine imagery.

LAS CALEÑAS SON COMO LAS FLORES ? TENSÃO DISCURSIVA SOBRE OS CORPOS DAS MULHERES PROTESTANTES DE CALI

As mulheres protestantes da cidade de Cali-Colômbia, ao reproduzir nos seus corpos os princípios da tradição religiosa, se deparam hoje com discursos e exigências que não conseguem ou aceitam articular na sua prática cotidiana. Assistimos na atualidade a uma tensão evidente entre a ortodoxia cristã e o imaginário e prática das mulheres cristãs a respeito da corporeidade. Nas últimas décadas a forma de assumir o corpo por parte das mulheres reflete incongruências em relação à matriz doutrinaria do sistema religioso protestante, o que é decorrente, por um lado, da influência cultural e midiática na promoção de uma nova representação do corpo feminino, baseada na beleza e na juventude, e por outro lado a cada vez maior relativização do poder religioso numa sociedade secularizada. As mulheres cristãs acham-se em meio aos ideais do corpo puro e regrado da sua instituição religiosa assim como às cobranças midiáticas, valores e padrões estabelecidos pela sociedade moderna. Neste sentido, a dissertação analisa as interfaces desta tensão discursiva que tem lugar nos corpos, através do próprio discurso das mulheres protestantes assim como das suas práticas cotidianas em relação à corporeidade.
