Excavating The New Republic: Post-Colonial Subjectivity In Achebe's Things Fall Apart, Christopher Wise
Excavating The New Republic: Post-Colonial Subjectivity In Achebe's Things Fall Apart, Christopher Wise
English Faculty and Staff Publications
However, in the context of contemporary late capitalist society, especially in the United States and Western Europe, there would seem to be obvious difficulties in bringing the Igbo experience of being, as described by Achebe, into the interpretive horizon of a dramatically different First World orientation towards social reality.4 Still, I would insist that meaningful and benign experiences of collective being have by no means been wholly eradicated from contemporary existence in the West, uncanny though they may be. Here, I would cite Jameson's pertinent observation that oppositional scholars today need to reappropriate an authentically dialectical concept of ontology, or …

Explores the attitudes and pressures on early Victorian teenagers through an examination of contributions by the poet Arthur Hugh Clough and other students at Rugby School to a short-lived quarterly, the Rugby Magazine (1835-1837). Originally presented at the Victorians Institute conference, Richmond, VA, 1999.
A Black Range Christmas Tree, Thomas Lynch
A Black Range Christmas Tree, Thomas Lynch
Department of English: Faculty Publications
Driving north from Las Cruces on I-25, one departs the relative green of the sheltered town of tree-lined streets and enters stark desert. The view while skirting the southern edge of the Jornada del Muerto is hardly promising for an expedition, like ours, in search of a Christmas tree.
Reading Space As Time In Great Plains Recollective Architecture, Paul A. Olson
Reading Space As Time In Great Plains Recollective Architecture, Paul A. Olson
Department of English: Faculty Publications
It is a long way from Black Elk's tipi to the Stuart building. Clearly most cultures and periods impose one or more narrative plots on time and space (I have written of four that were part of the recent past of this state). It may be that we will need soon to return again to a celebration of the cyclical in our architecture. If the ethos of domination that goes with linear, progressive notions of time is as destructive to our environment as the Club of Rome (and other successor study groups looking at the future of the planet) have …
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. …
Desire, Violence, And The Passion In Fragment Vii Of "The Canterbury Tales": A Girardian Reading, Curtis Gruenler
Desire, Violence, And The Passion In Fragment Vii Of "The Canterbury Tales": A Girardian Reading, Curtis Gruenler
Faculty Publications
Part of a special issue on René Girard. The tales of fragment 7 of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales collectively address the problem of human violence and the potential of literature to perpetuate or remedy this problem. The narrative that links the two middles tales of fragment 7 provides a critique of violence that goes beyond mere opposition to war. In this narrative, Chaucer alludes to Christ's crucifixion and death in order to speak as a witness to suffering. In the first three tales of fragment 7—The Shipman's Tale, The Prioress's Tale, and Sir Thopas,—Chaucer depicts the tendencies to mythologize violence in …

Anyone who teaches Shakespeare's Richard II will profit from careful readings of both Margaret Healy's and Margaret Shewring's study of this play. Both of these books can be read and digested rather quickly (Healy's almost in a single setting), but this does not mean readers should take them lightly. Both books are …

Southern Post-Modernism, Anti-Romanticism And Gender Difference In Flannery O'Connor And Some Other Southern Contemporaries, Ada Skillern
Southern Post-Modernism, Anti-Romanticism And Gender Difference In Flannery O'Connor And Some Other Southern Contemporaries, Ada Skillern
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Flannery O' Connor has long been an established southern writer of the mid-twentieth century. This paper discusses briefly the tenets of both Modernism and Post-Modernism as literary movements of the twentieth-century, then looks specifically at how O'Connor's fiction makes her a key hallmark figure in the movement known as Post-Modernism, but also as one of the first female southern writers to utilize very anti-Romantic themes and style. Further, this paper attempts to examine through a discussion of various contemporary male and female southern writers the depth of O'Connor's influence on their own works. Attention is also given to the differences …
‘Supernatural, Or At Least Romantic': The Ancient Mariner And Parody, Steven Jones
‘Supernatural, Or At Least Romantic': The Ancient Mariner And Parody, Steven Jones
English: Faculty Publications and Other Works
This essay looks through the lens of parody at one of Coleridge's most characteristically "romantic" works, his famous ballad of the supernatural, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Along with the other so-called "Mystery Poems"—"Christabel" and "Kubla Khan"—this is among his most significant generic contributions to the developing idea of Romanticism, the kind of work that comes through a kind of synecdoche to stand for the whole movement as it was conceived.
Transitional States And Psychic Change, Barbara A. Schapiro
Transitional States And Psychic Change, Barbara A. Schapiro
Faculty Publications
One of my favorite scenes in literature occurs in D. H. Lawrence's novel The Rainbow (1915). Tom Brangwen's Polish wife Lydia is upstairs in their home giving birth. Tom is downstairs with Anna, Lydia's four-year-old child by her first marriage. Anna is panic-stricken, screaming in terror for her mother, and Tom is responding to her with irritation and mounting anger. Like the child, he too is feeling shut out and abandoned by Lydia. Tom is made particularly furious by the "blind" and "mechanical" nature of Anna's crying.

Children In Science Fiction Utopias: Feminism's Blueprint For Change, Jessica J. Brodie
Children In Science Fiction Utopias: Feminism's Blueprint For Change, Jessica J. Brodie
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis was to examine the treatment and portrayal of children in science fiction utopian literature and determine whether this effectively indicated the writers’ feminist visions for social change. A feminist theoretical perspective and critical interpretation of several of the genre’s canon, Sheri Tepper’s The Gate to Women’s Country, Suzy McKee Chamas’s Motherlines, Sally Miller Gearhart’s The Wanderground, Ursula Le Guin’s The Dispossessed and Octavia Butler’s Xenogenesis series, were used as research methodologies.
The findings revealed that children communicate feminist prescriptions for change in three ways: children as the literal, biological future, the link …

In Paris, in 1550, when the printing press was still relatively new, Gervais de Tournay published a medieval chronicle under the title, Historia Hugonis Falcandi Siculi De rebus gestis in Siciliae regno iam primum typis excusa [« The History of Hugo Falcandus the Sicilian, concerning things done in the Kingdom of Sicily, now printed for the first time »]. He had discovered this history, as he explains in his preface, in a codex placed at his disposal by Matthew Longuejoue, bishop of Soissons, a codex so ravaged by time that it looked repulsive enough to poison the hand that dared …

American Journey Toward Female Equality With And Through Adrienne Rich's Works, Shelby Scruggs
American Journey Toward Female Equality With And Through Adrienne Rich's Works, Shelby Scruggs
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
What initially triggered my writing a thesis on the feminist movement in America was the question, "Will women ever truly achieve equality?" Further, will all humanity ever achieve equality? I found through the movement toward equality for women that any movement toward equality progresses toward equality for all because if one group only wants to be equal with others, then they want others to have equality as well. This thesis surveys the feminist movement in America from the 1950's to the 1990's through the realm of the works of Adrienne Rich, American female poet. Rich's progression as a political feminist …
