“The Multiplying Villainies Of Nature” Northrop Frye’S Green World And The Red World Of The Shakespearean Tragedy, Wyatt Merkley
“The Multiplying Villainies Of Nature” Northrop Frye’S Green World And The Red World Of The Shakespearean Tragedy, Wyatt Merkley
2018 Undergraduate Awards
If the literary green world of ecocriticism needs an update, so too does the idea of Shakespeare’s green world—the idyllic, pastoral, setting of escape and freedom from tyranny, established by literary scholar Northrop Frye in his 1948 essay “The Argument of Comedy” and elaborated on in his 1952 Anatomy of Criticism. Frye’s green world was never fully conceptualized, and some scholars have attempted to update Frye’s green world idea, like Charles R. Forker, whose 1985 essay “The Green Underworld of Early Shakespearean Tragedy” provides a well-needed application of the green world theory to several Shakespearean tragedies. Working directly within the …
Curating Suffering: The Challenges Of Mobilising Holocaust Histories, Narratives And Artifacts, John L. Sizeland
Curating Suffering: The Challenges Of Mobilising Holocaust Histories, Narratives And Artifacts, John L. Sizeland
2018 Undergraduate Awards
With the upsurge in public interest in truth and accessibility to historically suppressed narratives surrounding human atrocities, the research done by archaeologists has taken on a new authority in these discussions as being a tangible link to victims, perpetrators and context. With this comes a return of the common debate amongst researchers, how best to present and represent their work to the public ensuring it is accessible, accurate and interesting. When it comes to knowledge mobilization of sensitive but important events, the Holocaust makes an interesting and relevant case study as debates surrounding its teaching and presentation have been continuous …
The Embroidery Of Things— “Objective Imagism” In The Poetry Of Al Purdy, Wyatt Merkley
The Embroidery Of Things— “Objective Imagism” In The Poetry Of Al Purdy, Wyatt Merkley
2018 Undergraduate Awards
In the poetry of Al Purdy, objects inform the imaginative process through a technique I am terming “Objective Imagism”, which follows from the ideas of T.S. Eliot's Objective Correlative, and Ezra Pound's Imagism. The goal of this paper is to explain first how Objective Imagism follows out of Eliot's Objective Correlative and Pound's Imagism, and second to lay out how Objective Imagism functions in Purdy’s work; specifically how the speaker’s poetic inspiration comes from physical objects described within the poem, and leads to these objects becoming images within the speaker's imagination before finally describing how through the process of writing, …
Replacement Of The Recorder By The Transverse Flute During The Baroque And Classical Periods, Victoria Boerner
Replacement Of The Recorder By The Transverse Flute During The Baroque And Classical Periods, Victoria Boerner
2018 Undergraduate Awards
While the recorder today is primarily an instrument performed by school children, this family of instruments has a long history, and was once more popular than the flute. This paper examines when, why, and how the Western transverse flute surpassed the recorder in popularity. After an explanation of the origins, history, and overlapping names for these various aerophones, this paper examines the social and cultural, technical, and musical reasons that contributed to the recorder’s decline. While all of these factors undoubtedly contributed to this transition, ultimately it appears that cultural, economic, and technical reasons were more important than musical ones, …
Vitruvius' Vases: Sound-Amplification In Ancient Theatres, John Thorp
Vitruvius' Vases: Sound-Amplification In Ancient Theatres, John Thorp
Philosophy Presentations
In the first century BCE the Roman author, architect, and civil engineer, Marcus Vitruvius Pollio came up with an ingenious plan to build sound-amplification systems into theatres. The essence of the plan was to install, in the midst of the audience seating, empty bronze vases that would resonate with the various notes of the musical scale. The plan relied closely on the harmonic theory of Aristoxenus, a pupil of Aristotle, who had composed his treatise Elements of Harmonytwo centuries earlier. Although there is scant evidence that this plan was ever commonly put into effect, nonetheless the details of the …

End Of The Great War In 1918 And Its Impact On London, Ontario: Prelude, Celebrations And Aftermath, Marvin L. Simner
History eBook Collection
November 11, 1918, marked the end of hostilities in what was initially called the “Great War” and is now known as World War I. The purpose of this publication is to review the events that took place immediately before, during and after the November 11th celebrations in London, Ontario, as recorded largely in the London Free Press and the London Advertiser. The Prelude focuses on how the approaching armistice was viewed, the nature of the events that unfolded before the armistice document was signed, and the “false armistice celebrations” that took place in London on November 7th. In the Aftermath …
Colombia’S 2018 Elections On Twitter, Juan Luis Suárez, Yadira Lizama Mué
Colombia’S 2018 Elections On Twitter, Juan Luis Suárez, Yadira Lizama Mué
CulturePlex Lab DataPoints
The analysis of December’s tweets shows the campaign has just begun on this platform. The language used by the different actors points toward some of the flags they intend to use to attract voters, but also how they react to the political events of the day. Among the candidates, the figures of Uribe and Santos are still too large to ignore, in numbers of tweets, reactions, and attention they attract. If candidates want to separate themselves from the recent political history and appear in front of the public as credible potential presidents, they will need to establish bolder profiles, create …
Reflection/Commentary On A Past Article: “A Practical Iterative Framework For Qualitative Data Analysis”, Prachi Srivastava, Nick Hopwood
Reflection/Commentary On A Past Article: “A Practical Iterative Framework For Qualitative Data Analysis”, Prachi Srivastava, Nick Hopwood
Education Publications
This submission is a reflection by Srivastava and Hopwood on their earlier article, A Practical Iterative Framework for Qualitative Data Analysis, originally published in International Journal of Qualitative Methods in 2009, and selected for the journal’s special anniversary issue, “Top 20 in 20.” They discuss how they have applied the framework in their various studies since then, Srivastava, primarily in field-based international research in education and global development, and Hopwood, in education and health. Based on a brief analysis of the paper’s citations, they identify its impact to have been: in a wide variety of fields crossing disciplinary boundaries, studies …
