Geisha As Living Embodiments Of Art Representing Japanese Cultural Aesthetic, Addie Richmond
Geisha As Living Embodiments Of Art Representing Japanese Cultural Aesthetic, Addie Richmond
Undergraduate Distinction Papers
Since the Edo period, geisha have existed as living embodiments of the Japanese arts and aesthetic culture. The true world of the geisha is little known or understood, especially in the west, and misconceptions continue to be perpetuated through popular media. The primary representation of geisha often focuses on their role in relation to male patrons, rather than on artistic accomplishments and cultural value as individuals. This research analyzes the evolution of aesthetics, as being central to expressions of Japanese artistic practices that contributed to the role of the geisha within historical social spaces. Through establishing context for historical precedent, …

The Pussy As Prey: Discourses Of Predation And Human Sexual Violence, Paige Skaff
The Pussy As Prey: Discourses Of Predation And Human Sexual Violence, Paige Skaff
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
The pussy is the central focus of this thesis: the pussy as prey, the pussy as the cis-gendered vulva-owning female, the pussy as the effeminate male. The pussy is a source of vulnerability and a catalyst for sexual and gender violence. The term pussy alone aligns the human figure to the nonhuman animal world in euphemistic language. Because an anthropocentric culture accords less respect to the nonhuman animal than to the human animal, the pussy is dehumanized – that is to say, an object without ethical standing that exists to serve the more powerful subject - and therefore, violence against …
Studies Toward Provenance Determination For Indigo Dyes, Erin Kibby
Studies Toward Provenance Determination For Indigo Dyes, Erin Kibby
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
Species of indigo-producing plants have been used to color textiles for thousands of years all over the globe. Natural indigo-producing species have historically been harvested in regions of Asia, North Africa, and North and South America. This study is an exploration of methods that can be used to determine the provenance (origin) of the indigo dye in a textile through the extraction and isolation of indigoids, flavonoids, and other compounds from the natural dyestuff. There is no accepted method of extracting flavonoids from indigo-dyed textiles specifically, and there is little investigation of the regionally different species. If a method is …

Forgotten Things: A Historian's Tale, Mary Jackson
Forgotten Things: A Historian's Tale, Mary Jackson
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
Forgotten Things: A Historian’s Tale is a story of a post-human world where magic and creatures of lore have taken sovereignty over the land, following the adventures of Aster, a small flower elf whose job is to travel and document the residual traces of humanity. Every crumbling building, decaying record, and seemingly useless bauble of humanity tells a story, one that Aster is trying to find the conclusion to. One day, rumors start to circulate. Whispers that there might still be humans hidden away somewhere. Aster is thrilled about this, hoping that she might be able to talk with a …
The Mother Of All Mysteries: How Mothers Are Disavowed And Undermined In Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940), Juli Lindenmayer
The Mother Of All Mysteries: How Mothers Are Disavowed And Undermined In Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940), Juli Lindenmayer
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
This thesis explores how Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca (1940) depicts inadequate and detrimental examples of mother-figures in cinema through the characters Mrs. Danvers and Rebecca. While Mrs. Danvers’ oppressive control over the Manderley manor and her hardened demeanor towards the second Mrs. De Winter mark her as a sadistic mother-figure, Rebecca’s promiscuity, narcissism, and lack of empathy reflect the traits of a self-indulgent mother-figure who puts her needs first. Both expressions of motherhood serve to perpetuate the disavowal of mothers in film. This negative characterization serves to exemplify the long-held tradition of mothering as a source of trouble, which is largely …

The project will open with an essay on the importance of spoken word poetry and voice.
Speak The Speech: Lessons In Projection, Clarity And Performance, James Hagerman
Speak The Speech: Lessons In Projection, Clarity And Performance, James Hagerman
Masters Theses/Capstone Projects
This study compared two classes and their responses to a controlled curriculum versus an experimental curriculum based on teaching high school students in acting classes to project and speak with clarity during onstage performances. The experimental group had fifteen days of instruction, extensive feedback and an additional two lessons, while the control group participated in two out of the four lessons and had eight days of instruction with limited feedback. The driving question of this study was, “How do you get teenagers to project and speak with clarity on stage, so the audience is not left asking, ‘What did they …
Leaping Streams: A Postmodern Epic And An Evaluation Of Becoming And Being, Allura Stevens
Leaping Streams: A Postmodern Epic And An Evaluation Of Becoming And Being, Allura Stevens
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
Leaping Streams explores the ways in which an epic poem form can be revived and repurposed to subvert traditional vampire narratives and mythology. I have experimented with writing in the genre of epic poetry, and I will highlight an unnamed, ungendered vampire protagonist. In an attempt to stretch the boundaries of the classic epic, I strayed from the typical heroic journey plot in a way that the protagonist is unaware that they are on a quest to become a different version of themselves. I also subverted the traditional epic meter in favor of free verse. Similarly, through attempting to recreate …
Representing The Angakkuq: Exploring Inuit Mythology Through Fiction, Abigail Studebaker
Representing The Angakkuq: Exploring Inuit Mythology Through Fiction, Abigail Studebaker
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
This project is both a creative and critical foray into Inuit mythology. The Critical Preface unpacks how magical realism, young adult literature, and multicultural literature shaped the writing of the project, which is the first five chapters of a novel-in-progress titled Angakkuq. Angakkuq tells the story of a teenage girl, Alasi, of Inuit and American heritage living in the U.S. who begins experiencing strange, seemingly magical phenomena. As her story unfolds, she finds herself at the intersection of the past and the present, struggling to formulate her own identity while more and more is revealed about her father’s childhood growing …

Monotheism And Its Vicissitudes, K. Daniel Cho
Monotheism And Its Vicissitudes, K. Daniel Cho
Education Faculty Scholarship & Creative Works
Challenging the claim that monotheism is intolerant, the author presents an original interpretation of Sigmund Freud’s last book Moses and Monotheism. Freud is shown offering a theory of monotheism in which monotheism is not seen as exclusive, but rather as inherently equivocal.

Urban Appalachian Festival Proposal, Sarah Holbrook, Courtney Johnston, Ian Buchanan, Cody Stanley, Alex Umble
Urban Appalachian Festival Proposal, Sarah Holbrook, Courtney Johnston, Ian Buchanan, Cody Stanley, Alex Umble
Senior Year Experience Student Projects
We at COAL think that Appalachian culture has been marginalized by American urban centers and being an Appalachian American comes with many negative stereotypes. This is especially felt right here in the Franklinton neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. We want to make an impact in the community in a way that lessens stereotypes towards Appalachian Americans and help the city of Columbus be more inclusive towards Appalachian culture.
We propose to do this by organizing an Appalachian cultural festival that will both address the specific needs of Franklinton and celebrate its Appalachian roots. The specific issues we wish to address include …

A Qualitative Study On How A Teacher's Religious Beliefs Affect The Choices They Make In The Classroom, Sarah M. Wadsworth
A Qualitative Study On How A Teacher's Religious Beliefs Affect The Choices They Make In The Classroom, Sarah M. Wadsworth
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Projects
This qualitative research project explores how a teacher’s organized religious beliefs may influence their practice and the choices they make in the classroom. Such areas of impact include character development, classroom management, development of lesson plans, the handling of difficult parents and colleagues, discipline, and a teacher’s overall attitude while teaching. It is recognized that there are many hidden ways our beliefs shape the choices we make. This project focuses specifically on how organized religious beliefs and practices affect an educator’s choices. The research involved the interviewing of nine educators from the Ohio school system ranging from those who teach …
