Death And Pleasure In Wallace Stevens’ ‘The Emperor Of Ice-Cream', Thomas Dilworth
Death And Pleasure In Wallace Stevens’ ‘The Emperor Of Ice-Cream', Thomas Dilworth
English Publications
Unconcerned with preparations for a wake or funeral, ‘The Emperor of Ice-Cream’ is a general statement about life and in particular pleasure, which the speaker enthusiastically endorses and celebrates in stanza one. A pervasive motif of contained pleasureables and the presence of a corpse in stanza two support the speaker’s implication that pleasure sometimes deviates from morality and sanity.

Crisis And Calamity: Reimagining Canadian Ecopoetics In Response To Anthropocenic Disaster, Dakota Samuel Jabbour-Ormsby
Crisis And Calamity: Reimagining Canadian Ecopoetics In Response To Anthropocenic Disaster, Dakota Samuel Jabbour-Ormsby
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines contemporary Canadian ecopoetry in its merging of poetry and science, human and non-human, theory and practice. While the historical relationship between Canadian writing and nature grounds the exploration of present-day discourse, the arbitrariness and pervasiveness of borders and other human conceptions become a subject of criticism for the ecopoets studied in the thesis. Ecopoetry attempts to reframe the perspective of environment in literature, away from commodifying representation and towards a holistic appreciation. Understanding is a tenuous proposition for ecopoets. Learning is vital for ecopoetic exploration, both as an intrinsic product of engaging scientific thought and an ontological …
John Dee And Prospero: Alchemy, Angels, And Empire In The Tempest, Iovan Stefanov
John Dee And Prospero: Alchemy, Angels, And Empire In The Tempest, Iovan Stefanov
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For John Dee (1527-1609), like many others in the sixteenth century, the divide between politics, science, and the occult was permeable. At the height of Dee’s career, he had assembled the largest private library in England and built bibliographic networks of likeminded intellectuals from lending and sales. His consultations varied from explanations of Euclidean geometry for sailors to providing magical advice for Elizabeth I and other European monarchs. Dee is simultaneously important to both early modern science and esoterica. The aim of this thesis is to illuminate the ways in which his politics, his colonial projects, and his occult thought …

The Fall Of Troy And The Slaughter Of The Suitors: Ultimate Symbolic Correspondence In The Odysssey, Thomas Dilworth
The Fall Of Troy And The Slaughter Of The Suitors: Ultimate Symbolic Correspondence In The Odysssey, Thomas Dilworth
English Publications
The slaughter of the suitors in the Odysssey corresponds symbolically but antithetically to the fall of Troy. The correspondence implies an emotional dynamics in Homer and his audiences for which cultural anthropologists provide verification. As these dynamics imply, the recitation of the Odysssey achieved psychological reparation.
Biblioasis: A Case Study Of A Small Canadian Press, Nikolina Blagic
Biblioasis: A Case Study Of A Small Canadian Press, Nikolina Blagic
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the precariousness of the Canadian literary marketplace while using Biblioasis’ bookshop and press as a case study of small, indie presses in Canada. Biblioasis primarily publishes short stories and poetry, but they are also known for their International Translation Series, among othergenres such as non-fiction. The press’ location in the border city of Windsor, Ontario forces them to consider the American literary market in conjunction with Canada’s literary scene. John Metcalf plays a critical role in the foundation of Biblioasis, bringing many ideas and authors from his former press, Porcupine’s Quill. Economic and historical contexts for Biblioasis’ …
Comics And Public History: The True Story Of The 1934 Chatham Coloured All-Stars, Dale Jacobs, Heidi Lm Jacobs
Comics And Public History: The True Story Of The 1934 Chatham Coloured All-Stars, Dale Jacobs, Heidi Lm Jacobs
English Publications
This essay examines how the Harding Project, a digital and oral history project at the University of Windsor, decided to use comics as one way to tell the story of the 1934 Chatham Coloured All-Stars. It is a story of collaboration and what can happen when conversation is allowed to develop organically as connections are created with the community. This essay details one such collaboration, between individual community members, community groups, and researchers from History, Leddy Library, and English at the University of Windsor, and the resulting cross-pollination of public history, digital librarianship, and comics studies. In telling this story, …
Echoes Of War: The Great War’S Impact On Literature, Samuel R. Williams
Echoes Of War: The Great War’S Impact On Literature, Samuel R. Williams
The Great Lakes Journal of Undergraduate History
This paper examines the works produced by: Erich Maria Remarque, Ernest Hemingway, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien, specifically to show how their writings recorded and translated the experiences of soldiers during World War I, and their struggle to assimilate into civilian society afterward. By examining authors and novels from varying geographic and national background, common themes of bitterness, trauma, and disillusionment are found in men that fought on both sides of the conflict. Literature’s reflection of these scars appears in the lived experiences woven into the writings by the authors, and the reactions of the wider public that shared similar …
Legitimizing Past Actions Through Appeals To Moral Values, Rania Elnakkouzi
Legitimizing Past Actions Through Appeals To Moral Values, Rania Elnakkouzi
OSSA Conference Archive
This paper analyzes Hasan Nassrallah’s strategic use of retrospective/post-hoc arguments not only as means to justify and legitimize already taken actions, during the Israeli war on Lebanon in 2006, but also as a defense mechanism to rebut oppositions’ counter-claim (that his actions were not the right ones to do because of their negative consequences). Following Fairclough and Fairclough’s (2012) suggestion that to justify past actions arguers develop their arguments in relation to counter-arguments, I propose a structure for retrospective argument whose function is to show that the positive consequences of the already taken action (A) outweigh both the negative consequences …
Tom Wolfe’S Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test As Bergsonian Satire, Andre Narbonne
Tom Wolfe’S Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test As Bergsonian Satire, Andre Narbonne
English Publications
Arriving in the San Francisco garage where the Pranksters are waiting for Ken Kesey in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), Tom Wolfe engages in a discussion on metaphysics with “Hassler” (Ron Bivert). What follows is Bergsonian. Henri Bergson’s theory of Aristotlean comedy in Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic (1901) states that “Society will…be suspicious of all inelasticity of character, of mind and even of body, because it is the possible sign of a slumbering activity as well as of an activity with separatist tendencies, that inclines to swerve from the common centre round which society …

Pedagogies Of Possibility Within The Disciplines: Critical Information Literacy And Literatures In English, Heidi Lm Jacobs
Pedagogies Of Possibility Within The Disciplines: Critical Information Literacy And Literatures In English, Heidi Lm Jacobs
LRI Participants at CAIS - ACSI
While most disciplines have responded to the generic openness of the ACRL Standards by creating discipline-specific guidelines and competencies, there is a need for us to consider other ways to approach information literacy in the disciplines. Critical information literacy reminds us to engage ourselves and our students with what Freire described as "problem-posing education," which “bases itself on creativity and stimulates true reflection and action upon reality” (84). This article discusses how information literacy work in literatures in English could engage students and librarians in the act of collective problem-posing about the discipline. Drawing upon critical information literacy's emphasis on …
