I Love Lucy, That Girl, And Changing Gender Norms On And Off Screen, Emilia Anne De Leo
I Love Lucy, That Girl, And Changing Gender Norms On And Off Screen, Emilia Anne De Leo
Honors Papers
Women on television of the 1950’s and 1960’s have a contested place in American television history. The common belief that women in postwar TV adhered to and promoted strict sexist stereotypes is pervasive, but there has been some debate as to how accurate this generalization is. This paper examines the roles women played on television through a close analysis of two shows, I Love Lucy (1951-7) and That Girl (1966-71). These two shows demonstrate women’s general places during the decades in which they aired, with Lucy Ricardo representing the housewife of the 1950’s and Ann Marie representing the increasingly popular …
Women And Children First: American Magazine Image Depictions Of Japan And The Japanese, 1951-1960, Alexander Adorjan Somogyi
Women And Children First: American Magazine Image Depictions Of Japan And The Japanese, 1951-1960, Alexander Adorjan Somogyi
Honors Papers
By the close of the American Occupation of Japan in 1952, Japan was a sovereign nation, a lingering World War II menace, and much needed Cold War ally of the United States. American magazine print media imagery and advertising therefore had to erase its earlier wartime propaganda depictions of the Japanese while rebranding Japan as a harmless friend to the U.S. In the hundred years after Commodore Matthew Perry’s opening of Japan in 1853, American magazines have utilized several visual trends, stereotypes, and tropes in order to cast the Japanese as peaceful, simple, and eager followers of U.S. culture and …
Filipino American National Democratic Activism: A Lens To Seek Historical Justice For U.S. Imperialism In The Philippines, Melissa Manlulu Harris
Filipino American National Democratic Activism: A Lens To Seek Historical Justice For U.S. Imperialism In The Philippines, Melissa Manlulu Harris
Honors Papers
Historical justice projects have emerged within the past 20 to 30 years throughout the world in an attempt to rectify perpetrations throughout history, tackling apartheid, slavery, genocide, and colonialism. However, U.S. imperialism- a term that rarely emerges in American discourse- is a crime that has not seen justice, let a lone the light of day. This study specifically addresses the issue of American empire in the Philippines and how Filipino national democratic activists in the United States from the 1970s to the present have advocated against U.S. imperialism- which they argue continued in the decades beyond the Philippines- of this …
"A Spectacle Of Vice": Sex Work And Moralism In The Paris Commune Of 1871, Eliza Guinn
"A Spectacle Of Vice": Sex Work And Moralism In The Paris Commune Of 1871, Eliza Guinn
Honors Papers
The study of sex work in late nineteenth-century Paris provides an illustration of the political upheaval of the Commune, as well as its continuing acceptance of the bourgeois moralism that linked sex work to moral and political corruption. I will study the cases of several Communardes who were directly or indirectly affected by the rhetoric of sex work and sexual immorality because of their involvement in the Commune. Sex work provides a unique insight into the ways the Commune tried to reconcile its commitment to economic justice with its expectations of women’s sexual and social respectability. It forms an intersection …
"Overrun All This Country..." Two New Mexican Lives Through The Nineteenth Century, Isabel Hannigan
"Overrun All This Country..." Two New Mexican Lives Through The Nineteenth Century, Isabel Hannigan
Honors Papers
This thesis reconstructs the lives of two elite Hispanic New Mexican men who grappled with upheavals on the North American continent during the nineteenth century. Union army officers and influential patrones Nicolás Pino (1820-1896) and José Francisco Chavez (1833-1904) serve as the center of this paper’s narrative chronological historical analysis. Intensive primary source work in the New Mexico State Archives reveals their footprints in the military, political, and legal spheres before, during, and after the war. The biographies of Chavez and Pino serve as a microcosm of the changes and continuities in Nuevo Mexicano social, cultural, and military practices during …
"Forget-Me-Not": The Politics Of Memory, Identity, And Community In Armenian America, Hannah Marijke Kim
"Forget-Me-Not": The Politics Of Memory, Identity, And Community In Armenian America, Hannah Marijke Kim
Honors Papers
This project looks at how politicized identity and community was formed in Armenian America through the creation and dissemination of Armenian genocide memories. The Armenian genocide, which occurred in 1915, resulted in the mass dispersion of the Armenian people, and in great numbers to America. The traumatic genocidal experience, along with erasure by the Turkish government, has resulted in the genocide being the most seminal piece of Armenian community building and political organization. Most work done on the Armenian-American community and Armenian genocide focuses on the impact of non-recognition by the Turkish government. In my thesis, I seek to rediscover …
Sí, Me Afectó: The Women Of Bracero Families In Michoacán, 1942-1964, Eleanor Inez Lindberg
Sí, Me Afectó: The Women Of Bracero Families In Michoacán, 1942-1964, Eleanor Inez Lindberg
Honors Papers
Between 1942 and 1964, the U.S. and Mexico made a series of labor agreements collectively referred to as the Bracero Program. The Mexican men, Braceros, contracted through this program worked temporarily in agriculture and industry across the U.S. This paper examines the lives of ten women in the Mexican state of Michoacan whose male family members worked as Braceros. The mens' absences disrupted the family in an economic sense, requiring women to take on labor that was non-traditional for women at the time, as well as in a social sense, as the stability and respectability of their household came into …
Madrassas: The Evolution (Or Devolution?) Of The Islamic Schools In South Asia (1857-Present), Samir Husain
Madrassas: The Evolution (Or Devolution?) Of The Islamic Schools In South Asia (1857-Present), Samir Husain
Honors Papers
This project traces the evolution of the Islamic Deobandi madrassas from their creation during the British colonial period in India to present day Pakistan and Afghanistan. The goal is to argue that these madrassas turned to militancy due to regional political factors. This is done by examining the madrassas in three periods; the British colonial period, the Soviet-Afghan War period, and the years when the Taliban were in power in Afghanistan. Using these eras, the thesis argues that the madrassas were radicalized due to external actors. This radicalization can be seen by comparing the actions of the madrassas at each …
The Flying Tigers: Transnational Memories Of A World War Ii Collaboration, Kaho Yasuda
The Flying Tigers: Transnational Memories Of A World War Ii Collaboration, Kaho Yasuda
Honors Papers
In 1941, under the leadership of General Claire Lee Chennault, the Flying Tigers- a volunteer group of fighter pilots and crewmen from the United States- traveled to Southwestern China to support the Chinese Nationalist military in their resistance against the Japanese. How do the United States and China remember the Flying Tigers, and how is the memory shaped by domestic and international politics? Drawing from media coverage, museums, popular media, and memoirs, this thesis traces the evolution of the memories of the Flying Tigers in the U.S. and China from 1941 to the present. I argue that from the war …
