"Pitiful Creature Of Darkness": The Subhuman And The Superhuman In The Phantom Of The Opera, Jessica Sternfeld
"Pitiful Creature Of Darkness": The Subhuman And The Superhuman In The Phantom Of The Opera, Jessica Sternfeld
Music Faculty Books and Book Chapters
"This chapter focuses on The Phantom of the Opera, the megamusical that perhaps most boldly faces the idea of disability head-on, as it stars a character whose face, as one journalist described it, looks 'like melted cheese' (Smith, 1995). The musical's approach to the Phantom's disability is remarkably layered and inconsistent; the Phantom is portrayed in numerous ways (monster, criminal, genius, god, ghost) and his physical disability blurs regularly with his 'soul;' which is where numerous characters locate the origin of his problems. His face and its famous mask covering are both feared and thrilled over, but with a reassuring …

A Bibliographical Guide To The Study Of The Troubadours And Old Occitan Literature, Robert A. Taylor
A Bibliographical Guide To The Study Of The Troubadours And Old Occitan Literature, Robert A. Taylor
Research in Medieval and Early Modern Culture
Although it seemed in the mid-1970s that the study of the troubadours and of Occitan literature had reached a sort of zenith, it has since become apparent that this moment was merely a plateau from which an intensive renewal was being launched. In this new bibliographic guide to Occitan and troubadour literature, Robert Taylor provides a definitive survey of the field of Occitan literary studies - from the earliest enigmatic texts to the fifteenth-century works of Occitano-Catalan poet Jordi de Sant Jordi - and treats over two thousand recent books and articles with full annotations. Taylor includes articles on related …

Imaginaire Musical Et Roman. Rêveries Sonores Dans Les Œuvres De Tournier, Le Clézio Et Quignard, Elena D. Grigorescu
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Cette thèse a comme objet la mise en discours de l’imaginaire musical défini comme un ensemble de figures et schémas à travers lesquels se fait jour la signifiance associée à la parole venant rendre compte de l’harmonie sonore. Ainsi envisagé, l’imaginaire musical entre en jeu au moment où le sujet donne libre cours à ses rêveries afin de représenter son saisissement au contact avec les sons. Il se présente, autrement, dit, comme un lieu de négociation entre l’« indicibilité » de la musique et la tentation d’exprimer les sensations et les émotions qu’elle suscite.
Quant à l’approche, elle est …

Le Flâneur Contemporain: The Wanderer In The 21st Century, Zachary Kocanda
Le Flâneur Contemporain: The Wanderer In The 21st Century, Zachary Kocanda
Honors Projects
This creative project is a love letter to walking, poetry, and the French language. The flâneur is a French literary type, the most famous example being Charles Baudelaire. Baudelaire epitomizes la modernité, writing poetry about urban Paris in the nineteenth century. The flâneur's importance as a literary type continues in contemporary poetry. Through fifteen prose poems, the project examines what it means to wander in the twenty-first century.
Gaps And Barriers: Division And Revelation In Michel Butor’S La Modification, Mary L. Bauer
Gaps And Barriers: Division And Revelation In Michel Butor’S La Modification, Mary L. Bauer
Languages Faculty Publications
Gaps divide things that can’t quite come together, while cracks warn that something that was a coherent whole is coming apart. Michel Butor implants images of these two powerful symbols within his narrative of Léon Delmont’s troubled relationships with his wife, Henriette, and his lover, Cécile Darcella in his novel, La modification (1957). Some are obvious physical manifestations, while others are figurative, yet no less real. Butor then turns the concept of gap literally on its head by using its inverse, the barrier, to emphasize the self-imposed obstacles to a healthy relationship on both sides of Léon’s not so-secret double …
Gustave Doré: The Magic Illustrations Of Charles Perrault’S Contes De Fées, Stephanie Breed
Gustave Doré: The Magic Illustrations Of Charles Perrault’S Contes De Fées, Stephanie Breed
Honors Capstone Projects - All
Gustave Doré: artist, creator, dreamer. In 1862, Doré illustrated “Les Contes de Perrault,” an anthology of fairy tales by Charles Perrault including familiar stories like Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, and Puss in Boots. Doré’s intricate engravings accompanying each story include picturesque landscapes, expansive forests, and grand cathedrals. In his time, Doré did not feel appreciated or understood by his contemporaries in France and he therefore reverted to the spaces of his childhood for inspiration. Returning to the multi-layered landscapes of the forest and the Gothic cathedral, he re-discovered the sublime and grotesque, enfolding them in …

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This Master's Thesis examines what happens when African and Caribbean characters in France or in their own country meet the Other in Francophone literature. How do interracial relationships construct/deconstruct the concept of an intertwined identity? This comparative project explores three 20th century Francophone women writers from Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa and the West Indies in order to show how their novels construct or deconstruct the identities of migrated female characters through their interracial erotic and amorous relationships. Starting with Plato's Banquet which describes the origin of love as a splitting of identity and the quest of love as a quest …
Les Entretiens De Fontenelle: The Rhetorical Strategies Of A Cosmological Dialogue, Mark R. Komanecky Jr.
Les Entretiens De Fontenelle: The Rhetorical Strategies Of A Cosmological Dialogue, Mark R. Komanecky Jr.
Senior Theses and Projects
Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle’s Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds is one of the first major works of the French Enlightenment. First published in 1686, the work is organized as a series of dialogues between a philosopher and a marquise who discuss scientific topics such as heliocentrism and the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. Treating these subjects was a risky affair; less than a century earlier Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake, and fifty years before Fontenelle, Galileo was arrested for “holding, teaching, and defending” heliocentrism. Fontenelle employed several rhetorical and stylistic strategies in the work: he wrote in …
A Tale Of Acadie: Le Grand DéRangement Acadien Et Son Identité LittéRaire, Molly I. Parent
A Tale Of Acadie: Le Grand DéRangement Acadien Et Son Identité LittéRaire, Molly I. Parent
Senior Theses and Projects
In 1755, close to 12,000 Acadians, the descendants of French colonists, were expelled by British forces from their home in present-day Nova Scotia. They were then dispersed throughout the thirteen Atlantic colonies of the British Empire and forced to begin their lives anew in the wake of the trauma that they had suffered. This event has since been coined the “Grand Dérangement,” a title that ultimately suggests the havoc that was caused by the disruption of a culture. The Acadians were a people who had separated themselves from the European powers that fought over their land, a people who found …

La Trilogie Marseillaise De Marcel Pagnol: Représentations De La Culture Marseillaise Et De L’Identité Régionale, Bridget E. Maguire
Senior Theses and Projects
Better known as the Trilogie Marseillaise, the films Marius (1931), Fanny (1932), and César (1936) by Marcel Pagnol have shaped our perception of the city of Marseille and its environs. Marius was written first as a play and performed in 1929 in Paris. Following its adaptation to film, Pagnol wrote the play, Fanny with the intention of adapting it to film. Unlike the previous films, Pagnol wrote the screenplay for César first and then converted it to a play. The trilogy is among the first talking films and follows the amorous relationship between Marius and Fanny. Marius is torn between …
La Metaphore Du Devoilement Dans Les Enfants Du Nouveau Monde D’Assia Djebar, Amina Saidou
La Metaphore Du Devoilement Dans Les Enfants Du Nouveau Monde D’Assia Djebar, Amina Saidou
South East Coastal Conference on Languages & Literatures (SECCLL)
La société algérienne pendant et après la guerre de révolution a subi des changements significatifs et de divers ordres. Les Enfants du nouveau monde d’Assia Djebar en est une très forte illustration. La tradition socioculturelle algérienne recommande à la femme algérienne le port du voile. En faisant ressortir la thématique du voile dans la tradition maghrébine, Djebar montre à travers son roman la façon dont la situation s’applique à la femme algérienne. Aussi, une métaphore du voile et du dévoilement ressort de sa description du rapport de pouvoirs entre la femme et l’homme; entre la femme et le pouvoir sociopolitique …

Scintillating Scotoma: Migraine, Aura, And Perception In European Literature, 1860-1900, Janice Y. Zehentbauer
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This dissertation focuses upon the ways in which nineteenth-century physicians in the emergent field of neurology conceptualized and catalogued the neurological condition, migraine, and the ways in which European literary texts reimagined and interrogated such medical classifications. A recognized condition for hundreds of years, migraine in the nineteenth century became pathological; migraineurs became a “nervous” modern figure that haunted medicine and literary fiction. Anxieties regarding the construction of fragmented vision, bodies, gender, and consciousness render the migraine figure a relevant symbol for the modern era. The nineteenth-century medical treatises by Jean-Martin Charcot, Edward Liveing, and Hubert Airy reveal that a …

Natural Disaster: Representation, Spectatorship, And Loss In The Flood Stories L’Inondation, Trouble The Water, And Low And Behold, Juliana Starr
Juliana Starr
Publié cinq ans avant le célèbre roman Germinal, la nouvelle moins connue L’Inondation (1880), dans laquelle le je-narrateur observe du haut d’un toit l’inondation de la Garonne qui eut lieu en 1875, résonne de manière particulièrement significative aujourd’hui chez les habitants des côtes de la Louisiane et du Mississipi, en raison de sa ressemblance frappante avec quelques-uns des récits filmographiques de l’inondation castastrophique provoquée par l’ouragan Katrina en 2005. L’un de ces films est le documentaire Trouble the Water (2008), dans lequel la rappeuse en herbe Kimberly Roberts dirige son caméscope de vingt dollars sur elle-même et ses voisins bloqués …

La Dialectique Du Bourreau : Étude Du Bourreau Nazi Dans La Littérature Contemporaine Française, Désirée Lamoureux
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
La parole du bourreau nazi est absente de la majorité des documents historiques. Pour contrer cette carence, certains auteurs ont choisi de donner une place narrative à ce personage sybillin à l’intérieur de leur diégèse. Cette étude a pour but d’analyser la manière dont trois auteurs, soit Robert Merle, Jonathan Littell et Laurent Binet, octroient une place narrative au bourreau nazi. Nous cherchons aussi à élucider les raisons pour lesquelles il existe un intérêt dans la perspective du bourreau au début de ce nouveau millénaire.

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Les travaux des théoriciens et des praticiens en littérature et en cinéma ont permis de reconnaître l’importance de l’adaptation comme phénomène artistique et aussi de souligner la valeur de la réécriture comme objet d’analyse. Depuis les dernières décennies, l’adaptation cinématographique fait un objet d’intérêt pour la sociocritique. La présente thèse se situe dans le sillage de ces travaux en se penchant sur l’adaptation comme pratique culturelle et produit du dispositif sémiotique. L’enjeu est d’examiner l’œuvre source et ses adaptations cinématographiques en tant qu’artefacts socioculturels. S’inspirant également de la réflexion bakhtinienne et des écrits féministes, cette étude s’interroge en effet sur …
Treasure Hunt Without A Map: Archival Research At The University Of Pennsylvania, Meghan Strong
Treasure Hunt Without A Map: Archival Research At The University Of Pennsylvania, Meghan Strong
English Independent Study Projects
Under the supervision of Meredith Goldsmith in the English Department, I spent this semester developing archival research projects for lower level students in the humanities. My project corresponded with the aims of the Council for Undergraduate Research, which works to develop undergraduate research skills throughout the disciplines. The Kislak Center is a nearby resource that has the potential to provide students with opportunities to develop crucial research skills while discovering little pieces of history that are hidden away in the archives. The final exercises presented here focus on the subjects of Walt Whitman, Marian Anderson, and Michel de Montaigne.

Maryse Condé’S Heremakhonon As A Noir Novel, Irina Dzero
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
A noir genre analysis of Heremakhonon explains the confusion, sensuality, red herrings, and flashbacks that permeate the novel, as well as the primacy of an investigation to the plot. Upon arriving in a newly independent West African country, protagonist Veronica witnesses the arrest of a political activist who opposed the ruling elite. When she investigates his disappearance, Veronica realizes that she is complicit with the elite perpetrators.
9/11, Hyperreality, And The Global Body Politic: Frédéric Beigbeder’S Windows On The World, Jenn Brandt
9/11, Hyperreality, And The Global Body Politic: Frédéric Beigbeder’S Windows On The World, Jenn Brandt
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
This essay argues that the success of Frédéric Beigbeder's Windows on the World is due to Beigbeder's use of the seemingly contradictory genres of autofiction and hyperrealism in the depiction of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. By positioning himself in the text alongside his fictionalized American counterpoint, Beigbeder configures 9/11 as a lived-body experience that models the ways in which the post-9/11 subject was formed within specific political, cultural, and national conditions. The effect of the novel’s hyperrealism is such that Beigbeder simultaneously posits and deconstructs the notion of national identity within the greater contexts of postmodernism and …
