Transgender Identity In Pre-Modern Japan, Sam Friedline
Transgender Identity In Pre-Modern Japan, Sam Friedline
Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts and Research Projects (SCARP)
This paper examines the documented history of transgender identity in pre-modern Japan. Through literary analysis of the Torikaebaya Monogatari and depictions of Kabuki actors and sex workers in woodblock prints, transgender individuals’s place in Japanese society is deconstructed, societal view of LGBTQIA+ individuals during these periods is interpreted, and where trasngender people were most prevalent in society is determined.
The Cuban Revolution's Emotive Regime: A Decade To Remember, 1968-1978, Maite Morales
The Cuban Revolution's Emotive Regime: A Decade To Remember, 1968-1978, Maite Morales
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
While emotions were central for the victory of the 1959 Cuban Revolution, a decade later, feelings became an obstacle for the consolidation of the revolutionary government. During the second decade, growing disillusionment and dissatisfaction challenged the state's emotive regime. Within the first five years, Cubans engaged in one of the largest mass mobilization projects in the nation’s history and failed to achieve a ten-million-ton sugar harvest. The revolutionary government reacted to the failure in various ways, but all dealt with emotions: from a major carnival revival in 1970 to the establishment of new tactics to satisfy consumer demand.

Purposefully Forgetting: Surveying San Diego’S Founding Narrative During The City’S Bicentennial Celebrations Of 1969, Noah Pallmeyer
Purposefully Forgetting: Surveying San Diego’S Founding Narrative During The City’S Bicentennial Celebrations Of 1969, Noah Pallmeyer
Keck Undergraduate Humanities Research Fellows
The city of San Diego owes much its success and prosperity to the “victories associated with colonization.” This quote comes directly from the current National Park Service description of the San Diego Presidio. This project turns to the 1969 bicentennial celebrations of San Diego’s founding. This was a rhetorically powerful period in San Diego’s historical remembrance. This project argues that native and other marginalized populations were not properly considered in the narrative of San Diego’s founding during these celebrations. To understand why and how these populations failed to be properly considered, this project turns to the narratives of colonial monuments …
Opium In Nineteenth-Century England, Hannah Hutchinson
Opium In Nineteenth-Century England, Hannah Hutchinson
Honors Program Theses and Projects
Over the course of nineteenth-century England, opiate use and the attitudes towards its use shifted and changed. Opium and the consumption of opiates stems back thousands of years and has been utilized in countless ways. Opium has always existed and has always played an effective role in society. Whether for enjoyment or pain relief, for pleasure or for pain, opiates remained a key player in society all over the world. The study of the history of drug use in nineteenth-century England is important because it adds a vital perspective into the changing attitudes towards opium. Many of the changes that …
The Spiritual Nature Of The Italian Renaissance, Kaitlyn Kenney
The Spiritual Nature Of The Italian Renaissance, Kaitlyn Kenney
Senior Honors Theses
This study seeks to investigate the influence of faith in the emergence and development of the Italian Renaissance, in both the artwork and writing of the major artists and thinkers of the day, and the impact that new expressions of faith had on the viewing public. While the Renaissance is often labeled as a secular movement by modern scholars, this interpretation is largely due to the political motives of the Medici family who dominated Florence as the center of this artistic rebirth, on and off again throughout the period. On close examination, the philosophical and creative undercurrents of the movement …
Quiet And Faithful Preservation: A Historic West Kootenai Street Study, Aimee Rollins
Quiet And Faithful Preservation: A Historic West Kootenai Street Study, Aimee Rollins
History Graduate Projects and Theses
This survey is part of a larger Historic Kootenai Study, which comprises a reconnaissance-level survey of historic homes along W Kootenai St, a National Register proof of concept document for a house near the survey area, and a public meeting. The project seeks to study the developmental history of the neighborhood through the lenses of architectural history and historic preservation. It illustrates how a rural farming community evolved into one of Boise’s suburban neighborhoods and sheds light on local attitudes toward historic preservation, namely how it was a conscious choice made by middle-class homeowners, rather than simply a hobby of …
“A Compact With The Whales”: New Bedford, The American Civil War, And A Changing Industry, Mark Ryan Mello
“A Compact With The Whales”: New Bedford, The American Civil War, And A Changing Industry, Mark Ryan Mello
History & Classics Dissertations and Masters Theses
On the late afternoon of June 28, 1865, Captain Thomas G. Young, master of the whaleship Favorite, defiantly stood atop the roof of his cabin, brandishing revolvers and bomb guns. His courage, perhaps inspired by liquor, was stout in the face of the nearing Confederate ship. He determined his ship would not be like the other thirty-one New Bedford whaleships that fell to Confederate pirates since 1862. Fearful for their captain’s life, his crew pleaded with him to stand down. Any fight he made would be fruitless and would probably end up killing him. But Young was a desperate …
The Polish Question At Yalta, 1945: Public Opinion On The Polish Agreements, Christopher Maxim
The Polish Question At Yalta, 1945: Public Opinion On The Polish Agreements, Christopher Maxim
History & Classics Student Scholarship
Major: History and Political Science
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Jennifer Illuzzi, History and Classics
"For my thesis, I attempted to understand the Polish agreement reached at the Yalta conference and its reception by the public in the United States and Britain. I argued that Poland was the central issue at the Yalta conference and that the Big Three alliance deteriorated as a result of the agreements reached on Poland. I believe that understanding the public reception of the Polish agreements is important in understanding the history of the Yalta conference. Therefore, I sought to incorporate how the topic was covered in …
“Este Pueblo Deicida”: The Roots Of Antisemitic Nationalism During Argentina’S Década Infame, 1930-1943, Shannon Moore
“Este Pueblo Deicida”: The Roots Of Antisemitic Nationalism During Argentina’S Década Infame, 1930-1943, Shannon Moore
History & Classics Student Scholarship
Major: History and Spanish
Faculty Mentor: Fr. David Orique O.P., History and Classics
Based on the rhetorical strategies of important Argentine nationalist figures, this project proposes some possible sources imbedded within the Argentine historio-cultural imagination that provided a fertile environment in which these ideologies could take root and flourish. The historical and cultural strains that arguably influenced the pervasiveness of anti-Semitism among some Catholic Argentines include the following: the inherited colonial tradition of Hispanidad, which admires the philosophy, theology, and politics of the Reconquista, the Inquisition, and the Counterreformation; 19th century caudillismo and the reimagination of the dictator Juan Manuel …
Labor In The Formation Of The California Wine Industry, Nicholas Crenshaw
Labor In The Formation Of The California Wine Industry, Nicholas Crenshaw
History & Classics Student Scholarship
Major: History
Faculty Mentor: Dr. René Alexander Orquiza, History and Classics
My thesis brings attention to the creation of the California wine industry from a bottom-up perspective, highlighting the images and voices of the various farm workers who enabled the region’s widespread popularity and success in the late twentieth century. From the late 1800s to World War II, the California wine industry was established, challenged, and reinvented amidst racist rhetoric by labor organizations, the Chinese Exclusion Act, Prohibition, and the Great Depression. As laborers in multiple capacities, Native Americans, Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, Indian Americans, and women were essential to …
Unheard Voices Against The Invisible Empire: Black And Catholic Responses To The Second Ku Klux Klan, William Hartl
Unheard Voices Against The Invisible Empire: Black And Catholic Responses To The Second Ku Klux Klan, William Hartl
History & Classics Student Scholarship
Major: History and Philosophy
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Darra Mulderry, History
Historians on the Ku Klux Klan have only recently begun to re-examine the place of the Klan in American history, coming to the unsettling conclusion that the Klan and its message were more widely accepted than many previous historians acknowledged. However, this new revisionist history of the Klan lacks any thorough consideration of the experiences of Klan victims. In my thesis, I examine how Black and Catholic newspapers from 1916-1922 describe the activities and ideologies of the KKK so that I can then compare their accounts of the Klan with …
