African American Women And Hiv, Michell D. Reynolds
African American Women And Hiv, Michell D. Reynolds
Graduate Capstone Projects
Over 33 million people around the world are infected with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS. Of that number, over a million people are infected with AIDS in the United States. At first, AIDS in the United States was considered a white gay man’s disease. In fact, AIDS was once referred to as “The Gay Plague” (Shilts, 1987, p. 352). However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported in 2005 that women now make up 26 percent of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. African American women are infected at even higher rates than women of other racial and ethnic groups. …

Here Tunggë Made Here Slayn: Dangerous Speech Acts In Four Exempla From Robert Mannyng Of Brunne’S Handlyng Synne, Emily Russell
Here Tunggë Made Here Slayn: Dangerous Speech Acts In Four Exempla From Robert Mannyng Of Brunne’S Handlyng Synne, Emily Russell
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
In this project, I consider four exempla from Robert Mannyng of Brunne’s Handlyng Synne: “The Tale of the Bloody Child,” “The Tale of the Sacrilegious Carolers of Colbek,” “The Tale of the Midwife Who Christened the Child Wrongly,” and “St. Gregory’s Tale of the Nun Who Spoke Naughty Words.” I read these exempla through the theoretical texts of Georges Bataille, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, and Mary Douglas, as well as others, and conclude that speech acts, whether deviant or sanctioned, make identity at any level (de)constructable. I hope to show that while this is particularly noticeable against the historical …
Variants In The Samaritan Pentateuch Of The Hebrew Bible As Compared To The Masoretic Text, Sharon Sullivan Dufour
Variants In The Samaritan Pentateuch Of The Hebrew Bible As Compared To The Masoretic Text, Sharon Sullivan Dufour
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
Not long after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE began the eventual end of a long history of textual competition between variations of the Pentateuch. For nearly two millennia the Masoretic Text has held a singular dominant position as the most authoritative text. However, it should never be forgotten that in the earliest history of the Pentateuch is a history of several variant Pentateuch texts that held high authority in different regions of the Near East. The Samaritan Pentateuch is one such text, with an ancient history of competition with the Jewish Masoretic Text. It contains many …
We're All Waiting For Something, Christina N. Bigler
We're All Waiting For Something, Christina N. Bigler
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
One reason I knew I wanted to join the Eastern Michigan University Honors College (EMU HC) was because I would be allowed to make a film for my Honors Senior Thesis Project. Of course, joining the Honors College would help me to widen my academic boundaries and surround me with other students who were as passionate about succeeding both in the classroom and out as I was. However, in the end, I knew that with all of the hard work I would put in throughout my entire college career, whether it was in honors or non-honors classes, in film courses …
Language, Emotion, And Imagination: Constructing Human Identity Through Hemingway's Work, Gorka Diaz
Language, Emotion, And Imagination: Constructing Human Identity Through Hemingway's Work, Gorka Diaz
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
This thesis examines how Hemingway’s use of language evokes emotions in his stories and how his particular way of evoking emotions affects readers. Hemingway’s style of providing vivid experiences for readers centers on the image as the dimension where emotions are offered, but also the dimension where the writer’s work converges with the reader’s reception of it. The reader reconstructs the text through the act of signifying emotions. This process of signification is made possible only through the use of the reader’s imagination. The study of the relation between emotion and imagination emphasizes that readers decode fiction as they decode …
The Prophetic Imagination Of P. B. Shelley, Andrew O. Winckles
The Prophetic Imagination Of P. B. Shelley, Andrew O. Winckles
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
In his “Defence of Poetry,” Shelley claims, “Poets… were called in the earlier epochs of the world legislators or prophets.” As such, even a cursory glance at Shelley’s poetry and political beliefs reveals an interest in what is wrong with the world, how to fix it, and what will happen if no action is taken. However, current studies fail to fully assess what makes up the prophetic imagination. They confine discussions of Romantic prophecy to discussions of prophetic inspiration, futurity, and rhetoric – divorcing the work from its impetus for social change. The prophetic imagination, as utilized by Shelley, is …
