Discourse Knowledge And Activity Type In Social Service Interview Openings: ‘Okay Miss Debby Girl Tell Me What’S Going On.’, Frank Bramlett
Discourse Knowledge And Activity Type In Social Service Interview Openings: ‘Okay Miss Debby Girl Tell Me What’S Going On.’, Frank Bramlett
English Faculty Publications
The purpose of this study is to investigate the nature of interview styles at a privately funded social service agency. At this agency, which helps people in a financial emergency, clients are interviewed by volunteers to determine the clients' eligibility for financial assistance. In this paper, I test Levinson' s (1992) definition of activity type through an examination of how interviewers, within the beginning moments, share knowledge of the social service interview with the clients. Specifically, I explore how two volunteer interviewers open sessions with their clients. Three different interviews were recorded for each of eleven interviewers at the agency. …

It's Not Easy Being Green: Gender And Friendship In Eliza Haywood's Political Periodicals, Rachel Carnell
It's Not Easy Being Green: Gender And Friendship In Eliza Haywood's Political Periodicals, Rachel Carnell
English Faculty Publications
British writer Eliza Haywood's two periodicals, 'The Female Spectator' (1744-46) and 'The Parrot' (1746), protested against the gendered split between political and domestic literary genres, showing that British novels and periodicals written by or addressed to women did engage in political discourse. Through her periodicals, Haywood presented a model for female-female friendship that portrayed women engaging in rational and polite political debate. Furthermore, she argued that this same debate could occur between a woman and a man apart from an apolitical, romantic relationship. Finally, she gave opportunity for friendship to be expressed between those who had been excluded from the …

"Permanently Blacked": Julia Frankau's Jewish Race, Michael Galchinsky
English Faculty Publications
If there is to be a challenge to the increasingly prevalent impulse to recover Anglo-Jewish texts from the silences of the archives, the challenge will undoubtedly arise in relation to the novels of Julia Frankau. Frankau’s late Victorian novels on Jewish subjects, Dr. Phillips: A Maida Vale Idyll (1887) and Pigs in Clover (1903), explore and authorize a particular set of attitudes known as “Jewish self-hatred” and legitimate these attitudes by recourse to an idiosyncratic form of scientific racism. Moreover, these texts have served as spurs to the production of racial anti-Semitism. In such a case, what does it mean …

The Self In ‘Fieldwork’: A Methodological Concern, Christie L. Fox, Beverly Stoeltje, Stephen Olbrys
The Self In ‘Fieldwork’: A Methodological Concern, Christie L. Fox, Beverly Stoeltje, Stephen Olbrys

As concepts of reflexivity and postcolonial perspectives have advanced our understandings of the way we represent those we study, they have also introduced a consciousness of the role of the self in research. This article reviews the history of the field of folklore with regard to the method of obtaining data or texts and demonstrates that collecting material contrasts with the practice of conducting research in the field. Pointing to a moment of transition, it shows that theories of folklore had to undergo significant change before methods of research would acknowledge the identity of the fieldworker and its significance.
Androgyny Or Catastrophe: Doris Lessing's Vision In The Early 1970s, Nancy Topping Bazin
Androgyny Or Catastrophe: Doris Lessing's Vision In The Early 1970s, Nancy Topping Bazin
English Faculty Publications
Doris Lessing's novels of the early 1970s offer readers a rare kind of wisdom one which has been nourished by Sufism, a form of Islamic mysticism, which she admires. Unlike Lessing's earlier fiction which was simply influenced by the ideas of Sufism, three of her novels-Briefing for a Descent into Hell (1971), The Summer Before the Dark (1973), and The Memoirs of a Survivor (1974)-are literally Sufi fables-that is, symbolic stories, each of which "illuminates truth" (qtd. in Shah, The Sufis 14). The Sufi truth illuminated by these novels is that "life is One," and that because we have …
