The Quest According To Julien Gracq: A Study Of The Search For The Beyond In Gracq's Three Novels And His Play Le Roi Pecheur, Mary Joanne Johnson Wolter
The Quest According To Julien Gracq: A Study Of The Search For The Beyond In Gracq's Three Novels And His Play Le Roi Pecheur, Mary Joanne Johnson Wolter
Dissertations and Theses
Julien Gracq's quest for the "au-delà" is similar in many ways to the Surrealists' attempts to get in touch with the Beyond and to find that mythical and ideal point where binary oppositions are no longer contradictory but complementary. However, he differs greatly from the Surrealists in that his writing is anything but "automatic". Whereas he acknowledges being influenced by the Surrealists' ideas and by the works of certain authors, notably Goethe, Wagner, and Edgar Allen Poe, his works are a unique and carefully constructed web of style techniques, double-entendres, intertextual references, poetic devices, and a deliberate …
The Foundation For Revolution: Educational Reforms In Late Ch'ing China, Andrea Asbell
The Foundation For Revolution: Educational Reforms In Late Ch'ing China, Andrea Asbell
Dissertations and Theses
Historical consensus has labeled the educational reform efforts of China's scholar-officials in the second half of the nineteenth century as merely reactions to external circumstances and therefore has concluded that these reforms were "failures". The youthful revolt against Chinese cultural traditions, which culminated in the May Fourth Movement of 1919, has frequently been cited as a clear demonstration that previous educational reforms had failed. However, when viewed as the intellectual phase of the revolutionary process, reform activities among members of China's bureaucratic and scholarly elite in the four and one half decades from the 1860s to the early 1900s can …

English Housewives In Theory And Practice, 1500-1640, Lynn Ann Botelho
Dissertations and Theses
Women in early modem England were expected to marry, and then to become housewives.

Chinese Women As Cultural Participants And Symbols In Nineteenth Century America, Tina Michele Landroche
Chinese Women As Cultural Participants And Symbols In Nineteenth Century America, Tina Michele Landroche
Dissertations and Theses
Chinese female immigrants were active cultural contributors and participants in nineteenth century America, yet Americans often simplified their roles into crude stereotypes and media symbols. The early western accounts concerning females in China created the fundamental images that were the basis of the later stereotypes of women immigrants. The fact that a majority of the period's Chinese female immigrants became prostitutes fueled anti-Chinese feelings.
This thesis investigates the general existence of Chinese prostitutes in nineteenth century America and how they were portrayed in the media. American attitudes toward white women and their images of Chinese women created the stereotype of …

The original images evolved into an abstract state which alludes directly to the figurative and organic nature of the earlier work.
Psychology, Culture And Female Texts: Brigitte Schwaiger's Wie Kommt Das Salz Ins Meer, Julienne Eden Busic
Psychology, Culture And Female Texts: Brigitte Schwaiger's Wie Kommt Das Salz Ins Meer, Julienne Eden Busic
Dissertations and Theses
In recent years, there has been extensive debate in the area of literary criticism, much of it focused on real or imagined differences between male and female texts. French feminist theorists, Helene Cixous and Luce Irigaray, to name a few, argue that biological differences necessitate textual differences, while others reject this essentialist position, considering it just another means for perpetuating the notion of female inferiority. Many linguists assert that women use language differently than men, and that texts reflect these differences. But in order to analyze the origin of any textual differences, it is necessary to look beyond biology and …
