La Muerte, La Memoria Y La Filosofía Existencial En La Literatura Testimonial Pos-Dictatorial De Primo Levi, Jorge Semprún Y Jacobo Timerman, Andrew Mcnair
Senior Theses and Projects
What effect does the ubiquity of death in a traumatic experience have on an individual's memory and soul, and how is this manifested in one's written testimony? Through the analysis of their philosophical introspection, the testimonies of Primo Levi's The Drowned and the Saved, Jorge Semprún's Literature or Life, and Jacobo Timerman's Prisoner Without a Name, Cell Without a Number meditate on the atrocities they experienced during Levi and Semprún's incarceration under the Nazi regime in Europe between 1942 and 1945, and Timerman's imprisonment under the regime of Jorge Rafael Videla in Argentina between 1976 and 1983. The …
Edna St. Vincent Millay: Artisan Of Violent Feminine Agency, Carolina Galdiz
Edna St. Vincent Millay: Artisan Of Violent Feminine Agency, Carolina Galdiz
Senior Theses and Projects
For decades, scholars have understood Edna St Vincent Millay in two fairly distinctive patterns as either a classical romanticist or ephemeral rebel. This dual reputation has been crafted from the obvious presence of natural imagery, sexual dynamism, feminine voice, and romantic yearning in her work. What critics have failed to see in her poetry are the potent sinister undertones that claim violence as a means to power. I will argue that Millay narrates the gendered struggle that takes place in this violence, in order to ultimately assert feminine agency in the process of forming a cultural identity. Thus, rather than …

Senior Theses and Projects
Chinese immigration to Argentina is the fourth largest in the nation, after Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru, yet the Chinese are the largest group of non-Spanish speaking immigrants in the country. In my thesis I explore the significance of such high rates of Chinese immigration to Argentina to further understand concepts of transculturation. I want to know why these immigrants came to Argentina, how they created enclaves, and how they interact and contribute to Argentine society. With China’s recent economic influence in Argentina, there is also a growing interest among Argentines to learn Mandarin and Chinese culture for business practices, so …

Senior Theses and Projects
South Africa has for at least the past 6 years experienced the problem of violence against African immigrants. The violence has become popularly known as “xenophobia”. In the thesis I investigate why the “xenophobic” violence broke out against African immigrants in Alexandra, May 2008. I also attempt to give explanation for to why it was poor Blacks that participated in the violence. I focus on the racist, anti-Black historical past Blacks experienced in South Africa and how this past contributed to violence that broke out. I use Frantz Fanon and Steve Biko’s philosophies to analyze the violence because both authors’ …
