Liberation Theology: Why Should The Nations Be Glad?, Marianne Burris Richardson
Liberation Theology: Why Should The Nations Be Glad?, Marianne Burris Richardson
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The role a just God ought to have in the struggle for sociopolitical liberation has frustrated theologians for centuries; in the twentieth century, Latin American theologians proposed that while God loves all people, God unequivocally sides with the poor in the fight for social justice, and so should the church. The relative success of this teaching in Latin American churches led to increased participation of the laity in the fight for democracy. This project will analyze liberation theology's efficacy as the motivation for social justice in Latin America, focusing on the writing of Leonardo Boff (a Brazilian theologian) and the …

Folk Songs, Youth, And Propaganda: Music Of The Third Reich, Patrick Scott Peterson
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
As the world watched the rise of a new political power in Central Europe, the German youth perceived a new, exciting movement sweep through their backyard. The Third Reich gained control over Germany through the planning and organization of Hitler and his Nazis. Hitler sought to construct his pure society, accomplished through the orzanization of the sovernment and the National Socialist German Workers' Party b . b (NSDAP).

Window On Eternity: A Study In The Characteristics Of Orthodox Christian Iconography, Moira Allison Leroy Frazier
Window On Eternity: A Study In The Characteristics Of Orthodox Christian Iconography, Moira Allison Leroy Frazier
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Different works of art are used for a variety of purposes, with a multitude of intentions behind them. One of the most important distinctions in the world of art is secular art versus sacred art. Secular art can express the opinions of many different types of people, and it can be used for several things. Secular art "reflects the personality of the artist. It is something like the materialization of his thought and his vision of the world" (Quenot 71). Sacred art, on the other hand, has a more focused intention and use. Sacred art serves a different purpose, one …
Lew Wallace: An Unsung Hoosier Hero, Jordan C. Lee
Lew Wallace: An Unsung Hoosier Hero, Jordan C. Lee
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The way in which the American Civil War is remembered varies from one region to another. People, places, and events bring moments of pride and sorrow for those who remember, and distinct figures rise and fade into memory over time. Some individuals, however, cling to their place in history through the words of those who remember them. For the state ofIndiana, I feel as if one individual in question is overlooked. We remember Benjamin Harrison, the future president, born in Ohio, serving as a colonel to the 70th Indiana, and eventually a general over an entire brigade. We remember Governor …
Revisiting Modernism And The Ballets Russes: What Contemporary Choreography Can Learn From Diaghilev, Kelly Oden
Revisiting Modernism And The Ballets Russes: What Contemporary Choreography Can Learn From Diaghilev, Kelly Oden
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
In order to discover some of the features of what contemporary choreographers, dancers, artists, and musicians can learn from the Ballets Russes and the defining artistic movement of which they were a part-modernism-we must first take a journey back to Paris in the early twentieth century and work to unravel modernism's meaning in relation to different artistic media. We must ask complicated questions: What is modernism? What defines artistic success? What does it take to make something truly new? By asking such questions we can come to a deeper understanding of the conditions necessary to create a thriving artistic environment …
A Three-Part Study In The Connections Between Music And Mathematics, Molly Elizabeth Anderson
A Three-Part Study In The Connections Between Music And Mathematics, Molly Elizabeth Anderson
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The idea for this thesis originated from my fascination with the studies of both music and mathematics throughout my entire life. As a triple major in Middle/Secondary Math Education, Mathematics, and Music, I have learned more than I thought possible of music and math. In proposing this thesis, I desired to use my knowledge of arithmetic and aesthetics to research how music and mathematics are intertwined. I am confident that the following three chapters have allowed me to develop as an academic in both music and mathematics. This thesis serves as a presentation of the connections of music and math …

Exploring Community Engagement In The Indianapolis Opera Scene, Nicole Vasconi
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Despite its long history, the majority of today's society no longer holds this art form in such high regard. This is especially true for American culture, where opera companies are operating amidst a tumultuous time of foreclosures. The reasons for opera's continued decline in popularity among American audiences is a hotly debated topic for music historians and administrators, but the fact remains that the general public who once regarded opera as popular entertainment now rejects it as paltry and pointless. It is too Like many contemporary American opera companies, Indianapolis Opera and easy to cite the operas themselves as the …
Witnesses To Trauma: Kakfa's Trauma Victims And The Working Through Process, Emily Allison Kile
Witnesses To Trauma: Kakfa's Trauma Victims And The Working Through Process, Emily Allison Kile
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
In "The Metamorphosis" and "The Hunger Artist," Kafka has gifted us with two characters who, in Kafkaesque fashion, "pay a terrible price when, willingly or not, [they go] against 'nature, '" as Joachim Neugroschel writes in the introduction to his translation of The Metamorphosis, In the Penal Colony, and Other Stories (Kafka xix). Gregor awakes one morning to discover that he has been turned into a giant vermin, and the hunger artist attempts to cope with his tragedy of not enjoying the taste of food by putting himself on public display, likening his role in society to that of a …
Unigov: The Indianapolis Response To Urban Sprawl, Maxwell Hackman
Unigov: The Indianapolis Response To Urban Sprawl, Maxwell Hackman
Graduate Thesis Collection
Unigov is one of the most significant pieces of legislation in Indianapolis and Indiana history. In the often times hostile environment of Indiana politics it is nothing short of a miracle that the leaders in the Republican Party were able to get the Unigov bill approved and have it be as successful for the city as it has been. Unigov also created a modern day political machine for the Republican Party of Indianapolis. The new city of Indianapolis under the leadership of Republican Mayors Richard Lugar and William Hudnut has earned national name recognition on the convention circuit and for …
Protecting The Fairer Sex: Indiana's Failure To Improve The Lives Of Working Women, Abigail Neuman
Protecting The Fairer Sex: Indiana's Failure To Improve The Lives Of Working Women, Abigail Neuman
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
"Protecting the Fairer Sex" explores the refusal of Indiana lawmakers to place the well-being of their working women above "a can of corn," an accusation that was made by one state representative early in the legislative discussions.7 It investigates how the legislators knew nothing would come of protective legislation in the state, regardless of their fake expressions of concern. My work tells the story of how Indiana women were pushed to the periphery of a state that prided itself on its seemingly progressive nature.
