Fitness: Philosophical Problems, Grant Ramsey, Charles H. Pence
Fitness: Philosophical Problems, Grant Ramsey, Charles H. Pence
Faculty Publications
Fitness plays many roles throughout evolutionary theory, from a measure of populations in the wild to a central element in abstract theoretical presentations of natural selection. It has thus been the subject of an extensive philosophical literature, which has primarily centred on the way to understand the relationship between fitness values and reproductive outcomes. If fitness is a probabilistic or statistical quantity, how is it to be defined in general theoretical contexts? How can it be measured? Can a single conceptual model for fitness be offered that applies to all biological cases, or must fitness measures be case-specific? Philosophers have …

A New Foundation For The Propensity Interpretation Of Fitness, Charles H. Pence, Grant Ramsey
A New Foundation For The Propensity Interpretation Of Fitness, Charles H. Pence, Grant Ramsey
Faculty Publications
The propensity interpretation of fitness (PIF) is commonly taken to be subject to a set of simple counterexamples. We argue that three of the most important of these are not counterexamples to the PIF itself, but only to the traditional mathematical model of this propensity: fitness as expected number of offspring. They fail to demonstrate that a new mathematical model of the PIF could not succeed where this older model fails. We then propose a new formalization of the PIF that avoids these (and other) counterexamples. By producing a counterexample-free model of the PIF, we call into question one of …

Practical Performance Considerations For The Andante Con Moto Of Beethoven's Piano Concerto In G Major, Op. 58, Young Eun Kim
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The purpose of this monograph is to provide a thorough analysis of the Andante con moto of Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto, focusing on a variety of interpretative options for the performer. The sources of interpretive options will include conventional formal and harmonic analysis, consultation of existing scholarly research on the subject, historical performance practices, and possible musical implications of the application of the Orpheus program as proposed by Owen Jander. The formal and theoretical analysis refers to significant scholarly works and includes a variety of interpretive options, detailing possibilities for phrasing, formal musical structure, and the overall function and purpose …
The Creation Of "Voices In My Head," A One-Man Show, Anthony Michael Mcmurray
The Creation Of "Voices In My Head," A One-Man Show, Anthony Michael Mcmurray
LSU Master's Theses
The thesis assignment began with one simple question, “Can we conceptualize, compose, and create a one-man show, where we hold an audience’s attention, for no less than 30 minutes?” We were encouraged to find a piece that we could live with over the course of the next 9-12 months. Not wanting to carry around some heavy emotional weight, and knowing that I can’t take anything seriously for more than a month at a time without making fun of it, I went in the opposite direction of drama and dove head first towards the land of comedy. From the moment that …
Un Cadjin Qui Dzit Bon Dieu! : Assibilation And Affrication In Three Generations Of Cajun Male Speakers, Aaron Emmitte
Un Cadjin Qui Dzit Bon Dieu! : Assibilation And Affrication In Three Generations Of Cajun Male Speakers, Aaron Emmitte
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
More often than not, the linguistic research of Cajun French rests primarily at the morphological and syntactic level or focuses on aspects of culture and identity. It was thus my goal here to examine Cajun French at the phonological level. More specifically, I examined two phonological phenomena in Cajun French: assibilation and affrication. Both of these features may result when the dental consonants /t/ and /d/ precede either of the high vowels /i/ and /y/. Under these constraints, therefore, words such as petit (“small”) and dire (“to say”) are pronounced as [pitsi] and [dzir] when assibilated and [pitʃi] and [dʒir] …
The Creative Development Of The One-Person Play, "Turkey Boys," A Production Thesis In Acting, Nicholas Andrew Hamel
The Creative Development Of The One-Person Play, "Turkey Boys," A Production Thesis In Acting, Nicholas Andrew Hamel
LSU Master's Theses
This thesis details the writing process and performance of the author‘s partially autobiographical one-person play, "Turkey Boys." The play presents varying points of view on events in and around the small community of Atalissa, IA where, in 2009, 21 mentally disabled men were removed from the building where most of them had been living communally for more than 30 years. The men‘s employer, Henry‘s Turkey Service, was accused of mistreating the men, paying them at a sub-minimum wage level, providing inhumane living conditions, and verbally and physically abusing them. The piece is told in a documentary theatre style from multiple …
Moonlight Sprite, Sungho Kim
Moonlight Sprite, Sungho Kim
LSU Master's Theses
ABSTRACT Moonlight Sprite is a piece of orchestral music in a single movement. As a symphonic poem, this work describes the various landscapes of imaginary sprites in the moonlight in the huge mountain and forest. This imagination was inspired by composer’s overnight camping at Zion Canyon National Park in 2010. The composition is comprised of three main themes, which are developed and varied. The first theme describes the cheerful and playful aspects of sprites. The second theme describes elegant and mysterious character of sprites. The last theme describes grand and ancient sprites. At the end, all three themes come together. …

An Original Composition, "...And It Was Good For Orchestra" And A New Century, A New Audience : Concert Music's Evolution Into Pop And The Music Producer As Maestro, Matthew David Evancho
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The first part of this dissertation is a musical composition for full orchestra titled, ...And It Was Good. The work's title refers to the biblical text that follows each day of God's creation, "God saw all that he had made, and it was good." The architecture for the single movement work is framed within seven sections, each representing a different day of the biblical creation story. An arch form is used and each section is marked by a different tonal center taken from a whole tone scale beginning on F. The composer employs several songs from various world religions and …
Postmemory, Feminism, And Women's Writing In Contemporary Spanish Novels Set In The Spanish Civil War And Franco Dictatorship, Georgia Elena Reagan
Postmemory, Feminism, And Women's Writing In Contemporary Spanish Novels Set In The Spanish Civil War And Franco Dictatorship, Georgia Elena Reagan
LSU Master's Theses
This thesis analyzes postmemory, feminism, and women's writing seen in three contemporary novels written by women about women who lived and defied traditional gender roles during the Spanish Civil War and the Francisco Franco dictatorship. I discuss how these female characters and real-life women were marginalized for defying women's roles, while facing extreme injustices. They refused to adhere to the norms that the patriarchal discourse imposed on them during the era and never gave up in the fight to express their voice. I discuss the novels, La voz dormida by Dulce Chacón, Donde nadie te encuentre by Alicia Giménez Bartlett, …
