A Global Joyce: Early Sightings Of Cosmopolitan Ethics In Ulysses, Matthew Zeller
A Global Joyce: Early Sightings Of Cosmopolitan Ethics In Ulysses, Matthew Zeller
Theses and Dissertations
'Ulysses is like a great net let down upon the life of a microcosmic city-state, Dublin, wherein lie captured all sorts and conditions of men and minds,' wrote Stuart Gilbert, the famous literary scholar whose landmark 1930 book-length investigation into Joyce's magnum opus cemented his legacy as one of the first Joyceans. In saying so, Gilbert quietly proposes an early reading of Joyce's global ethics long before the study of humanities had developed the post-colonial focus necessary to more fully grasp the cosmopolitan ethics asserted in Ulysses. Gilbert was not alone. Because of his self-imposed exile and thematic insistence on …
Public Intellectuals: Styles, Publics, And Possibilities, Matthew David Kay
Public Intellectuals: Styles, Publics, And Possibilities, Matthew David Kay
Theses and Dissertations
The status of the public intellectual is debated continuously in the United States, but what is not up for debate or theoretical examination is how public intellectual practice is mediated between style and publics.

Without A Net: Creating A One-Man Show, Joseph Timothy Mallon
Without A Net: Creating A One-Man Show, Joseph Timothy Mallon
Theses and Dissertations
During the Spring of 2011, I wrote and performed a one-man show entitled Hamlet and Pancakes, which was inspired by my Irish grandfather who used to cook pancakes for me while reading Shakespeare aloud. This sparked my love of all things theatre, food, and performance. This thesis contains the full script of that one-man show and it serves as an overview of the creative process that led to the show's development and evolution. What began as a seemingly daunting assignment quickly became one of the more enjoyable endeavors of my life as an actor. The show seemed to write itself …
