Mission Propaganda: A Study Of Form, Colonial Attitudes, And Feminism In Maria Theresia Ledóchowska's Newspaper Publication, Jakob N. Jarvis
Mission Propaganda: A Study Of Form, Colonial Attitudes, And Feminism In Maria Theresia Ledóchowska's Newspaper Publication, Jakob N. Jarvis
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This thesis examines Mission Propaganda, a newspaper-style publication distributed by the St. Peter Claver Sodalität, an association of nuns, lay-members, and subscribers founded by Maria Theresia Ledóchowska in 1894. The “sodality” was dedicated to supporting Catholic missionary work in Africa, and advocated for the liberation of African slaves. Ledóchowska used Mission Propaganda to encourage Europeans to support the African missions. She also used it to inform Europeans about African culture. She attempted to create a connection between the need for Catholic missionary work in Africa and the need for reform in Europe. She believed Europeans needed moral, religious, and social …
Vilma Weber Von Webenau : Die Marienlieder, Sommerlieder Für Streichquartett Und Eine Sprechstimme, Carolyn Dehdari
Vilma Weber Von Webenau : Die Marienlieder, Sommerlieder Für Streichquartett Und Eine Sprechstimme, Carolyn Dehdari
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Vilma von Webenau (1875-1953) is not only worthy of study because of her connection with teacher Arnold Schoenberg. Her music is unique in the era of fin-de-siecle Vienna, but it also holds interest today because of its atmoshpheric and durational complexity, self-composed texts, and harmonic ambiguities. This critical edition seeks not only to present two of WEbenau's seventy works, but also to place Webenau in her historical and musical context. Exploring the aspects of Viennese modernism and the world that created it, I wish to give background to Webenau's life, of which so little is known. In trying to understand …

Undergraduate Honors Theses
This is an Internet-based project that will serve as a guide to scholarly resources, including introductory material to texts written by key figures in the Austrian Women’s Movment a the turn of twentieth century. This project is also an overview of the Allgemeine Oesterreichische Frauenverein (AÖFV), or General Austrian Women’s Organization, and its key leaders and publications during its peak years between 1893-1910.

Peace In Unity: 19th Century Irenic Motivations In European Unification, Robert Taft Keele
Peace In Unity: 19th Century Irenic Motivations In European Unification, Robert Taft Keele
Undergraduate Honors Theses
The Hauptargumenten of politicians and citizens concerning the advantages and disadvantages of the EU are almost exclusively economic or political in nature: lower tariffs; loss of monetary instruments; immigration; disenfranchisement; etc. The object of my thesis is to remind everyone, amid the flurry of speculation and uncertainty prevalent in Europe since the French rejection of the EU constitution, that a major benefit of the European integration is peace, on a continent that has been ravaged by war for centuries. I prove that the establishment of peace was a major element in European unification by confirming links between peace movements and …

Chapter 1 introduces the problem of modern music and provides the historical context for Elsa Bienenfeld’s life. Chapter 2 introduces modermism as a movement in the city and reviews the development of music out of the classical and romantic periods into modernism. Chapter …
Ann Tizia Leitich: New Voice, New Woman: Packaging America For Vienna, Brooke Marie Wright
Ann Tizia Leitich: New Voice, New Woman: Packaging America For Vienna, Brooke Marie Wright
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This thesis examines the contribution which the 1920s works of Viennese journalist and novelist Ann Tizia Leitich made on the Austrian consideration of the new woman during the interwar period. Following World War I, European society was both infatuated and repulsed by American culture, and especially by American women. While many European women began to look to the United States as the model of the “new woman,” others harshly criticized the changes which American influence and the image of the American woman had brought to Europe. As an Austrian living in the United States and writing newspaper articles and other …
Viennese Feuilleton During The Early 1920s: Description And Analysis Of Bertha Pauli's Biographical Sketches As Contributions To A Literary Genre, Ruth Kirsten Seppi
Viennese Feuilleton During The Early 1920s: Description And Analysis Of Bertha Pauli's Biographical Sketches As Contributions To A Literary Genre, Ruth Kirsten Seppi
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Bertha Pauli belongs to a class of writers (women) who are often overlooked, writing in a style (feuilleton) that is under-recognized for its literary value. Her writings have never been systematically analyzed before despite their volume and prominence in the Vienna of the 1920s. The first half of this thesis deals with the form of feuilleton, establishing a context in which to study Pauli’s works. The second half describes the political content of Pauli’s biographical feuilletons and demonstrates her skill as a persuasive writer. Feuilletons were a popular form of journalistic writing from the eighteenth century up until the Second …

Additionally, online dissemination of research provides opportunities for mentored research to reach a wide audience without the barriers of traditional publishing. Important in this process is assuring the relevance of student research which requires a topic the student both enjoys and excels at. Students benefit from this research with a customized curriculum, where they are able to contribute to academia and strengthen their resume. Through my work on the Sophie project, I …
Inszenierungen Einer Frau: Die Rollen, Werke Und Einschätzungen Der Franziska Gräfin Zu Reventlow, Julie K. Smith
Inszenierungen Einer Frau: Die Rollen, Werke Und Einschätzungen Der Franziska Gräfin Zu Reventlow, Julie K. Smith
Undergraduate Honors Theses
It is possible to stage a woman such as Franziska Gräfin/countess zu Reventlow in a myriad of characters and figures. Her richness on adventures and on her literary handling provides many possibilities of interpretation. Reventlow liked to stage herself and often, with varying degrees of bourgeois outrage or enthusiasm as a result. This self-staging as well as her foreign productions testify of a complex system of identity finding and definition of reality. On the one hand, she was admired by many as the fulfillment of their dreams or a symbol of an era. On the other hand, she experimented with …
