Plotting The Battlefield: Russia's Use Of Language And Memory To Legitimize Aggression Against Ukraine, Izabella Martinez
Plotting The Battlefield: Russia's Use Of Language And Memory To Legitimize Aggression Against Ukraine, Izabella Martinez
Undergraduate Honors Theses
The Russian Federation has launched a series of propaganda campaigns in preparation for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. A discourse analysis of Russian state-sponsored news channels reveals an evolution of linguistic propaganda techniques over the past decade. A further analysis of Soviet and Russian state-funded cinema suggests that cinematic portrayals of Ukrainians have shifted in alignment with political contexts. After the fall of the Soviet Union and especially after Putin’s rise to power, cinematic representations of Ukrainians in Russia have evolved to fit into ongoing media campaigns regarding Ukraine. The language and symbols of these campaigns largely evoke …
"Agent Orange Is Our Nemesis": The Blue Water Navy Veterans' Battle For Dioxin Compensation Amidst The Ongoing Vietnam War, Molly Parks
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This thesis examines the use of Agent Orange in the Vietnam War and its effects on American Blue Water Navy veterans amidst their battle for presumptive service connection to Agent Orange exposure. The first chapter studies the history of the American decision to use Agent Orange, placing this history in the broader context of the Vietnam War. It argues that as long as Agent Orange and its health consequences persist among its victims without proper compensation, the Vietnam War is an ongoing conflict. The second chapter is a focused study on the Blue Water Navy veterans’ battle for a presumptive …
Breaking And Setting The Pattern: European Influences On Early Catalan Nationalism, Gabriel Black-Planas
Breaking And Setting The Pattern: European Influences On Early Catalan Nationalism, Gabriel Black-Planas
Undergraduate Honors Theses
During the development of the Catalan nationalist political tradition between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, early Catalanist thinkers drew heavily from the examples of their European and American contemporaries. As Catalonia developed an industrial base and began celebrating its linguistic and cultural heritage during the nineteenth century, it increasingly looked outwards. Seeing themselves as more European than Spanish, Catalanist desperately wished to modernize their region and nation. To this end, Catalanists developed a very specific and Eurocentric standard for civilizations that they thought critical for national development. This work traces the development of this model, what it entailed, how it …
The People's House?: Countermajoritarianism In The House Of Representatives, Andrew Hoffman
The People's House?: Countermajoritarianism In The House Of Representatives, Andrew Hoffman
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This is the first study of countermajoritarianism in the House of Representatives. Although the House is considered a majoritarian institution, intrastate malapportionment remained rampant prior to the 1964 Wesberry decision; the three-fifths clause drove systematic antebellum differences in the number of free people in northern and southern House districts; and widespread voter discrimination in the South led to systematically different levels of turnout. Combined, these factors potentialized roll calls in which the chamber’s majority did not actually represent more free individuals, voters, or electoral supporters than the minority. Using three separate measures, I characterize such outcomes as countermajoritarian. I find …
The Diy Ethic In Richmond, Virginia’S Underground Music Community, Calvin Sloan
The Diy Ethic In Richmond, Virginia’S Underground Music Community, Calvin Sloan
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This project seeks to examine Richmond, Virginia’s underground music community through the analytical perspective of sociocultural anthropology. I argue that Richmond’s underground music community is guided by a governing ideology I refer to as the “DIY ethic”. The application of the DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic helps to explain the community’s unique practices, including moshing and the formation of new, niche genres. This ethnographic approach includes interviews with community members and my own firsthand observations of music venues and other subcultural spaces. This research is part of my undergraduate honors project at the College of William & Mary.
Beyond The Exit: Moma Design Store & The Extended Museum Experience, Anna C. Wershbale
Beyond The Exit: Moma Design Store & The Extended Museum Experience, Anna C. Wershbale
Undergraduate Honors Theses
American art museum attendance soared following World War II as museums became popular education and entertainment destinations for the growing middle class. Shaped by the influence of 1980s Reaganomics and the effects of neoliberal funding policies, museum shops developed from small information desk ventures into a vital source of public relevance and financial sustainability. When given creative liberty and economic attention, the now standardized amenity presented the opportunity to sell institutional ethos. In light of neoliberal capitalism’s tendency to construe value primarily in economic terms, shops reveal how the art museum strategically assigns new meaning to its collection, mission, and …

Red Stone, Invisible Legacy: Goan Aesthetics In Charles Correa's Design, Vishvesh Prabhakar Kandolkar, R. Benedito Ferrão
Arts & Sciences Articles
Excerpt from publication: "The obituary for Charles Correa (1930-2015) in the New York Times hails him as an ''American trained" architect, who reached "deep into India's past for inspiration in producing work that is notable for its imagination and breadth."1 Of course, Correa's design practice drew from "Indian" traditions, including the use of the mandala, a sacred geometric configuration associated with Buddhism. The visibility of mandalas in the architect's designs questions the alignment of his legacy with an Indianness that can only be understood as heralding a mythic Hindu past..."
“Thirsteth For The Blood Of America”: Propaganda And Violence During The American Revolution, Taylor Fischer
“Thirsteth For The Blood Of America”: Propaganda And Violence During The American Revolution, Taylor Fischer
Undergraduate Research Awards
Excerpt from paper: "On December 14, 1763, a group of discontented farmers from the Pennsylvania frontier, called the Paxton Boys, arrived at Conestoga Manor in Lancaster County. The Paxton Boys were Scots-Irish Presbyterians who aimed to take over a Quaker colony. The group of farmers murdered six peaceful Conestoga Indians who were under the long-standing protection of the colonial Pennsylvania government. After the initial attack, Pennsylvania’s government placed the remaining Conestoga in a Lancaster jailhouse for their supposed protection. The Paxton Boys then traveled to Lancaster and slaughtered fourteen more Conestoga peoples. These murderous and militant frontiersmen claimed that the …

“On Earth, As It Is In Heaven”: The Holy Family And Beguines In The Southern Low Countries (Ca. 1230-Ca. 1500), Harrison Klingman
Undergraduate Research Awards
Excerpt from paper: "Differing from their monastic contemporaries, beguines were uncloistered religious women who took temporary vows of chastity while splitting their lives between the religious and secular spheres. In the late twelfth century, beguine communities began on a small and informal scale until papal approval in 1233 sanctioned their lifestyle; thereafter, large communities known as beguinages started to materialize.1 During this religious movement, beguines were faced with various questions over how to structure their family lives. Navigating through these uncertain waters, beguines ultimately found a solution in the Holy Family’s example by modeling their lives after the Virgin and …
"My Daughter, Flee Temptation!" "O, Do Go, Dear Mother!": Gender, Race, And Body Politics In Charlotte Brontë’S Jane Eyre And Harriet Jacobs' Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl, Harper Mccall
Undergraduate Honors Theses
The following thesis explores the constructs of gender and race in relation to the bodies of Jane Eyre and Linda Brent in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Harriet Jacobs. Particularly, 19th Century sociopolitical forces (e.g., British Imperialism, Antebellum American life, and the legacy of the Transatlantic Slave Trade) constrict the womens' bodies as they progress through the novels' plots. By using Frederick Douglass' "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave," both intertextual references and resonant comparisons can be made between the oppression and resistance narratives characteristic of Jane Eyre and Incidents. Such communicative frameworks reveal larger …
The Uninvited Host: Goa And The Parties Not Meant For Its People, R. Benedito Ferrão, Angela Ferrão, Maria Vanessa De Sa
The Uninvited Host: Goa And The Parties Not Meant For Its People, R. Benedito Ferrão, Angela Ferrão, Maria Vanessa De Sa
Arts & Sciences Articles
Despite its history as a favored destination for hippies from the West in the 1960s and 1970s, present-day party tourism in Goa largely attracts Indian travelers. This is a product of the post-1990s liberalization of the Indian economy, coupled with the exoticization of Goa, which has rendered it a pleasure periphery to the subcontinent. Such difference, and attraction, occurs because, unlike most of the rest of the India that annexed Goa, the region was a Portuguese colony until 1961. Goa’s Lusitanization suggests a more liberal milieu, social gatherings with music and dancing being commonplace culturally, for example. While tourism has …
Civic Virtue In Non-Ideal Republics, M. Victoria Costa
Civic Virtue In Non-Ideal Republics, M. Victoria Costa
Arts & Sciences Articles
This paper defends a neorepublican account of civic virtue as consisting of stable traits of character, understood in broadly Aristotelian terms, that exhibit excellences associated with the role of citizen, and that contribute to the secure protection of freedom as non-domination. Such an account is important for the neorepublican project because neither laws nor social norms can yield reliable support for republican freedom without a parallel input from civic virtue. The paper emphasizes the need to distinguish civic virtue from desirable norms, which can operate in tandem. Against other neorepublican accounts of civic virtue, it argues that the primary function …
Decoloniality And Tropicality: Part Two, Anita Lundberg, Hannah Regis, (...), R. Benedito Ferrão, Et Al.
Decoloniality And Tropicality: Part Two, Anita Lundberg, Hannah Regis, (...), R. Benedito Ferrão, Et Al.
Arts & Sciences Articles
The papers collected together in this special issue on the theme ‘decoloniality and tropicality’ discuss and demonstrate how we can move towards disentangling ourselves from persistent colonial epistemologies and ontologies. Engaging theories of decoloniality and postcolonialism with tropicality, the articles explore the material poetics of philosophical reverie; the 'tropical natureculture' imaginaries of sex tourism, ecotourism, and militourism; deep readings of an anthropophagic movement, ecocritical literature, and the ecoGothic; the spaces of a tropical flâneuseand diasporic vernacular architecture; and in the decoloniality of education, a historical analysis of colonial female education and a film analysis for contemporary educational praxis.

Decolonizing The Tropics: Part One, Anita Lundberg, Sophie Chao, R. Benedito Ferrão, Ashton Sinamai, Et Al.
Arts & Sciences Articles
This special issue is a collection of papers that addresses and enacts the theme of decolonizing the tropics. Each article provides a sense of how we can untangle ourselves from entrenched colonial epistemologies and ontologies through detailed articulations of research practice. Drawing together humanities and social sciences, the papers collectively address questions of whose voices are heard or silenced, what positions we write from, how we are allowed to articulate our ideas, and through which mediums we present our research. In doing so, the contributions foreground the critical importance of these and other questions in any move towards decolonizing the …

Old Series: Volume 6, Number 3 (December 1997)
Journal of Textual Reasoning
In this issue we engage two subjects which, though they are arguably at the heart of anything that might be called "textual reasoning," have not as of yet been explored in the journal. The two subjects are Zionism and liturgy, or more specifically, feminist liturgy. The dialogue that is the first article in this issue emerges from an on-line discussion from this past summer. It has been edited for linear coherence, but hopefully not at the expense of the passion of the original (though some of the fire was doused). Elon Sunshine did a wonderful job editing the dialogue—not even …
