Senior Projects Spring 2021
The responsibility of creating writing that is palatable in order to please every audience but the Black audience is often placed on the shoulders of Black authors. As phrased by Richard Wright in his “Blueprint for Negro Writing” the risk of focusing one’s writing entirely on the Black experience, left Black authors with the risk of being “consigned to oblivion.” Writing that captures the joys, the struggles, and the history of being Black in America, is often overlooked and ignored by white audiences and publishers, as it is often perceived as being unappealing and unpleasant. However, authors like Wright, James …

A Poet, A Teacher: Standing Still With Mary Oliver, Melissa Therese Benedek
A Poet, A Teacher: Standing Still With Mary Oliver, Melissa Therese Benedek
Senior Projects Spring 2021
The poet Mary Oliver (1935-2019) once wrote, “Attention without feeling, I began to learn, is only a report.” How does Oliver teach the practice of paying attention to the natural world? This project explores observation as a form of attention in Oliver’s work and how it is implicit in her writing practice. The relationship between attention and feeling manifests in her poetry. Observations are both the foundation and definition of Oliver’s concrete images and incommunicable encounters with nonhumans in the natural world. For Oliver, the goal of attention is not to give a scientific account of details about specific animals …

Camera Obscura: Exposing, Framing, And Staging The Implicit Politics Of Christopher Isherwood And The Various Adaptations Of His Work, Melina Drake Young
Senior Projects Spring 2019
“A vamp.” A man made up like puppeteer’s dummy; a doe eyed, Judy Garland type in a tilted bower hat; a young English couple—they’re just friends—leaning intently toward each other in conversation on a chaise longue; a writer wandering the streets of pre-war Berlin. Romanticized images accompany the string of adaptations based on Christopher Isherwood’s 1945 novel “The Berlin Stories.” But really Isherwood’s novel, John Van Druten’s play “I Am a Camera“(1951), John Kander and Fred Ebb’s musical “Cabaret” (1966), and Bob Fosse’s film of the same name (1972) feature a herd of …
"I Refuse To Die:" The Poetics Of Intergenerational Trauma In The Works Of Li-Young Lee, Ocean Vuong, Cathy Park Hong, And Emily Jungmin Yoon, Helli Fang
Senior Projects Fall 2019
This project explores how trauma and violence within immigrant and refugee narratives are preserved and embodied in the poetry and prose works of four Asian American writers, Li-Young Lee, Ocean Vuong, Cathy Park Hong, and Emily Jungmin Yoon. In this examination arises the question of how trauma from a historical event can be passed down to people who have not witnessed them firsthand, such as the children of war refugees. I argue that these works are written not solely with the intention to remain truthful to the informative or factual history of these inherited traumatic events, but rather, to preserve …

Together We’Ll Make Magic: Exploring The Relationship Between Empathy And Literature Using Ruth Ozeki’S “A Tale For The Time Being”, Janet Lindsay Dinozzi-Houser
Together We’Ll Make Magic: Exploring The Relationship Between Empathy And Literature Using Ruth Ozeki’S “A Tale For The Time Being”, Janet Lindsay Dinozzi-Houser
Senior Projects Spring 2017
My project is devoted to untangling the often-misunderstood and misapplied subject of empathy, particularly as it relates to the reading process. I begin with a brief background of the term’s history and the debate surrounding its use by researchers in the fields of both Psychology and Philosophy of Mind. I then apply this critical understanding of a commonly invoked term to a close reading of contemporary novel A Tale for The Time Being by Japanese-American novelist Ruth Ozeki. Dedicated primarily to the fictional story of Nao Yasutani, a teenage girl struggling with her recent move back to Japan after a …

Self-Fashioning, Double Consciousness, And A History Of Representation: The Narratives Of Frederick Douglass And Solomon Northup As Compared To Runaway Slave Advertisements, Samira Leila Omarshah
Self-Fashioning, Double Consciousness, And A History Of Representation: The Narratives Of Frederick Douglass And Solomon Northup As Compared To Runaway Slave Advertisements, Samira Leila Omarshah
Senior Projects Spring 2016
In many ways, slave narratives represent written archives of the the authors’ identities, and testaments to those identities. Through the consideration of what constitutes self-making and representing a struggle unknown to the intended reader (white Americans), the parts of an identity that are left out of the narratives become apparent. This project aims to consider “The Narrative of Frederick Douglass” and Solomon Northup’s “Twelve Years A Slave” as advertisements for abolition as well as mediums for self-making for their authors. By then comparing the two narratives to Runaway Slave Advertisements written by slave owners, deeper issues concerning relationships between slave …

Vanishing Footprints: Place And Man’S Struggle For Endurance In The Works Of Thomas Wolfe, Tongucnaz Seleme Basturk
Vanishing Footprints: Place And Man’S Struggle For Endurance In The Works Of Thomas Wolfe, Tongucnaz Seleme Basturk
Senior Projects Spring 2012
Novelist Thomas Wolfe sought to develop a new tradition of writing which would faithfully capture the experience of Americans. His vivid portrayals of man in various places demonstrate the inherent dignity of man’s struggles as he strives to understand his position in his world. Through his aesthetic choices, Wolfe captured how man’s identity consists of the entirety of his experiences. His dedicated rendering—and inclusion—of seemingly inconsequential details exhibits the worth which these particulars—and the history associated with them – hold in the lives of the men who come into contact with them. This project seeks to explore Thomas Wolfe’s depictions …
