“The Badge Of All Our Tribe”: Contradictions Of Jewish Representation On The English Renaissance Stage, Becky S. Friedman
“The Badge Of All Our Tribe”: Contradictions Of Jewish Representation On The English Renaissance Stage, Becky S. Friedman
Doctoral Dissertations
Literary and historical records fueled fantasies of intense difference between the Jews and Christians of early modern England. Representations of Jewishness in the Renaissance theater drew on many of these enduring pejorative fictions, which associated Jews with financial manipulation, corporeal abnormalities, and an innate predilection for iniquity. At the same time, depictions of stunningly beautiful Jewish women and sympathetic, relatable Jewish commoners also emerged on the stage, complicating centuries-old attitudes of antipathy with suggestions of fascination, compassion, and similitude. “The Badge of All Our Tribe”: Contradictions of Jewish Representation on the English Renaissance Stage sheds light on this broader spectrum …
Letting The Body Lead, Amanda Boggs
Letting The Body Lead, Amanda Boggs
Masters Theses
Letting the Body Lead is an exhibition and workshop series that focuses on embodiment in social context and invites attendees to engage with the work, both as viewers and active participants. Embodiment in social context refers to the understanding of lived experiences in the body. Within my creative practice, I explore the body's creativity, knowledge, and agency while bridging and brining together the fields of fine arts, movement-based and socially just art making. I believe in the transformative potential of how movement and contemplative practices can support a more liberated way of being both within an individual and, by extension, …

Affective Histories Of Southern Trauma: Shame, Healing, And Vulnerability In Us Southern Women’S Writing, 1975–2006, Faune Albert
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation explores the affective impacts of historical trauma around slavery and segregation in the US South, arguing for the importance of understanding US Southern history through the ways in which it has lived and continues to live in and on the bodies of Southerners marked by race and gender and class and within emotional life in the South. The texts in this study—Gayl Jones’ Corregidora (1975), Dorothy Allison’s Trash (1988), Ellen Gilchrist’s Net of Jewels (1992), and Natasha Trethewey’s Native Guard (2006)—engage the affective impacts of intergenerational and insidious trauma through portrayals of Southern women struggling to give voice …
Motion As Music: Hypermetrical Schemas In Eighteenth-Century Contredanses, Alison N. Stevens
Motion As Music: Hypermetrical Schemas In Eighteenth-Century Contredanses, Alison N. Stevens
Masters Theses
An important part of the recent growth in scholarship on meter focuses on reconstructing 18th-century listening practices. Danuta Mirka (2009) studies contemporary accounts of meter in theory treatises to build a model of 18th-century metric listening, while Stefan Love (2016) takes a corpus studies approach, arguing that surveying repertoire provides a more accurate view of meter than 18th-century theorists. But despite the known debt that much 18th-century art music owes to dance and dance music, Mirka and Love only briefly mention dance. In touching so lightly on dance, these and other authors overlook the more fundamental connection between meter and …
The School Desk And The Writing Body, Marni M. Presnall
The School Desk And The Writing Body, Marni M. Presnall
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation focuses on the school desk in order to awaken peripheral vision of classroom ecologies in writing events. It engages theoretical dialogues about the dialectical relationship between language and experience, the nonverbal sociality of affect, the sedentary labor required to maintain institutional object-orientations, and possibilities for divergence and disinheritance. Document analysis follows the emergence of the school desk at the advent of compulsory schooling, its use as material rhetoric, and its role as pivot between a punitive and a disciplinary culture, then at the nexus between disciplinary and regulatory societies. The grouping and regulation of populations in biopower is …
