Trans-Relational Poetics And Outsider American Modernist And Postmodernist Poetry, Anna Elena Eyre
Trans-Relational Poetics And Outsider American Modernist And Postmodernist Poetry, Anna Elena Eyre
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation is concerned with how language mediates the relationship between self and other, and in particular, mythopoetic language. The political potential of myth has long been condemned, so much so that the word "myth" is now synonymous with "false." I argue that this is a result of what I term as heroic mythopoesis wherein the relationship between self and other is predicated on a violent separation that reinforces conceptions of identity. In contrast, in what I term as trans-relational mythopoesis this relationship is contingent on an embodied exposure between self and other that reciprocally translates and transforms conceptions of …
H.D. And Freedom : Realization Through Nature, Vision, And Gender Authority, Jared Young
H.D. And Freedom : Realization Through Nature, Vision, And Gender Authority, Jared Young
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This thesis is a study in the constructs of H.D.'s poetry, and how they work in relation to the reader. Specifically, H.D.'s concern was creating a sense of freedom for her readers as a means to representation and identity. To achieve this state of consciousness, H.D. began by exploring the sacredness within nature. In the process of articulating her idea into a more exact form she turned her focus towards gender.

Revolutionary Mourning : Black Panther Women's Poetic Contribution To The Black Panther Intercommunal News Service : (And A Collection Of Orginal Poems As A Creative Response), Amanda Michelle Boyd
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Named by the Black Panther Party as the Year of the Panther, 1969 was one of the organization's most tumultuous years. Working harder than ever since the Party's formation in 1966, men and women of the Party sought to demonstrate their dominance in the "sphere of revolutionary politics". With increased efforts, came an increase in opposing forces against the Party, resulting in the death, imprisonment, and exile of a number of the Party's male leaders. Under these circumstances, women began to fill positions of leadership, creating an interesting dynamic within an organization that is often defined by its idolization of …
The Songs Of Science : Rilke, Orpheus, And The Poetic Transformation Of The Natural Scientist, Evan Michael Gromel
The Songs Of Science : Rilke, Orpheus, And The Poetic Transformation Of The Natural Scientist, Evan Michael Gromel
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This thesis will attempt to illustrate a connection between both the creative and trying experiences of certain natural scientists surrounding their discoveries and Rilke's vision of poetry. It will explore the implications of Rilke's figure of Orpheus, which has been characterized in part as a symbol for art's "search in which something essential is at stake" (Blanchot 215), on the poetic potential of those whose perception is grounded in the psychology of modern scientific discovery and theory; In other words, how a scientist comes to make the turn which takes them from "the work" to "the work of art".
