Item Commodification of Female Body: A Study of Nepali Film Posters(Faculty of Arts in English, 2011) Subedi, Yuba RajThe present study examines the question of commodification of female body in the film posters. Women in the posters have been projected into the beautiful objects producing attractions. Woman's body is divided and targeted into different parts as a consumerist tactic. In this way, film advertising depends on woman's body as a source of particularly profitable beauty industry. In addition, ideal female beauty is the indicator of film advertising as a system of capitalist society. In this social and cultural context, capitalistic and economic interest dictates women's bodies to look by creating, targeting and marketing beauty. Advertised bodies blur the boundaries between inside and outside of an image. The film posters are used to commodify female's body in order to support the commodity culture because film posters misrepresent and eroticize female's body to create an alluring image of the object to strengthen the hegemony of commodity culture in capitalism. Thus, women's bodies in the film posters are assigned as a supplement object to enhance the attraction towards the production as an exchange value.Item Female Body in Exile in Taslima Nasrin’s French Lover(Department of English, 2008) Poudyal, BibhushanaDespite of mammoth external pressures, Nila knows she can’t halt her humane odyssey of establishing the natural veracity that one can’t be the exact opposite of another, but its all about the distance to be crossed. As Nila is marching on a new racetrack, judging her as right or wrong, winner or looser with the same old rules and regulations, terms and conditions is not done. She needs the de-patriarchalized, de- colonized avant-garde version of criteria; call it a revolution or anarchy. By and large, Taslima Nasrin’s French Lover, the exploration of the same criteria, with original protagonist Nila, is the trial to rescue the female body from being exiled and to redefine, recuperate and redraw the stale patriarchal definition of femininity and female body with the innovative and natural philosophy of humanity.
