"You Know Your Voice Is Kind Of Nice When Your Mouth Isn't Screwing It Up.”, Jennifer Anne Grant

EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement

We watch movies, mostly for the mind-blowing special effects, extraordinary actors and actresses, and/or the unforgettable stories, but when do we ever remove the visual and just listen to the scripts or embrace the noise? In my work, I stray from the visual studies and draw that which I hear. I am interested in capturing the visual formation of words that become noise as they build up in my memory. As the mouths group together, so then does all of the character dialogue, ultimately resulting in incoherent noise.

Through growing up around parents who started an audio visual business, I …

Virtus Et Oratio: Masculinity And Rhetoric In Early Imperial Rome, Bethany Nicole Good

EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement

In ancient Rome, an elite man had to have virtus, or manliness, to be considered a true man, a vir. Many factors determined whether a man was seen as having proper virtus or not. Rhetorical skill seems to have played a role in the construction of gender for men in early imperial Rome. My project explores the relationship between rhetoric and gender in this period of time. Textual analyses of works from the early Roman Empire provide evidence for how descriptions of speech were used to suggest whether a man had virtus or not. Quintilian’s Institutio Oratoria offers …

Sankofa: Preserving Your Cultural Heritage Through The Art Of Narratives And Story-Telling, Theressa N Cooper

Black Issues Conference

As research has struggled to identify and define the Black experience (Du Bois, 1903; Bell, 2002), Obidah (2003) suggests that one of the lasting theoretical frameworks that resonates for the social science community and for Black people themselves is Dubois’ (1903) notion of double consciousness. Dubois (1903) found that as African Americans, we live two lives – one that is full of pride for its African-ness and all that it encompasses; and a the second life in which we have to assimilate into the American (White) culture. Therein lies the struggle, where the African American is seeking to find a …
