Dark Side Of The Dream: The Social Gothic In Vietnam Era America, Greg Smith
Dark Side Of The Dream: The Social Gothic In Vietnam Era America, Greg Smith
Dissertations
Gothic horror narratives have been a mainstay of American literature since Charles Brockden Brown's 1798 novel Wieland, and also of our cinema since the celebrated Universal films Dracula and Frankenstein in 1931. Often considered tripe by professional literary and film critics, such tales—both in written and cinematic form—began to gamer intellectual attention during the 1970s as their general popularity soared and as academic interest in American popular culture increased significantly. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Gothic genre became one of the most discussed and debated aspects of American pop culture, with numerous critics weighing in on its potential implications, …

Verbal Vermeer: Updike's Middle-Class Portraiture, James Plath
Verbal Vermeer: Updike's Middle-Class Portraiture, James Plath
Scholarship
Of all the artists Updike mentions in his writing, none is cited more often than seventeenth-century Dutch painter Jan Vermeer, whose near-photographic depictions of household scenes from everyday bourgeois life are recalled in Updike's own fictional portraits of upper-middle-dass domesticity-particularly those set in his native Pennsylvania, where the Dutch historically settled.

Publications and Research
Oral performance art, patterned performative speech for an audience, is perhaps the oldest and most ubiquitous human art form. Specific instances of this art include the performances of griots and guslars, troubadors and shamans, as well as rappers and riddlers, preachers and politicians. While this art form is by definition oral, it is also the case that, frequently, literary art has represented oral performance art. There is written art which depicts oral art, which describes it, appropriates it, criticizes and co‑opts it.
In this dissertation, I define oral performance art as constituting a separate and unique artistic genre, one which …
The Destruction Of The Outsider In The Plays Of Tennesee Williams, Warren Herbu
The Destruction Of The Outsider In The Plays Of Tennesee Williams, Warren Herbu
Theses : Honours
This thesis explores the theme of the Outsider in the plays of American dramatist, Tennessee Williams. My central line of argument is that these Outsiders are defeated and destroyed by a number of complex personal and societal forces. After defining what it means to be an Outsider in a Williams play, I will proceed to investigate why and how the figure of the Outsider is destroyed in the following: - 27 Wagons Full of Cotton - Portrait of a Madonna - A Streetcar Named Desire - Orpheus Descending - Suddenly Last Summer - Sweet Bird of Youth. The first two …

Raising Life To A Kind Of Art, Jonna Mackin
Dr. Jonna C Mackin
Though T.S. Eliot claimed to prize the working class ethos of Music Hall Comedy, he and his favorite artiste Marie Lloyt were key players in an essentially middle-class project of making sexual representation more explicit and more widely available but also more respectable as "art."
