Girls "In Trouble": A History Of Female Adolescent Sexuality In The Midwest, 1946-1964, Charissa Keup
Girls "In Trouble": A History Of Female Adolescent Sexuality In The Midwest, 1946-1964, Charissa Keup
Dissertations (1934 -)
This dissertation attempts to show how Americans reacted to adolescent female sexuality, looking specifically at unwed school-age pregnancy in the post-World War Two decades. It documents the origins of the transition of the conversation about unwed teens from caring for them in maternity homes and boarding houses to discussing their problems on television shows and in popular magazines. Teenage sexual delinquency and pregnancy have always raised innumerable questions about American culture and values. Because they challenged the traditional concept of motherhood, they offer a lens through which to study American sexuality and reveal that an alternate 1950s existed beyond the …

Reclaiming Beaches For The People On The Fourth Of July, Andrew W. Kahrl
Reclaiming Beaches For The People On The Fourth Of July, Andrew W. Kahrl
History Faculty Research and Publications
During these dog days of summer, millions of Americans will flock to the nation’s shores for comfort and relief. Who will go, where they will go, and who they can expect to find there speaks volumes about class in America. Now more so than ever, the distribution of people on America’s beaches each summer mirrors those bar graphs that illustrate the distribution of wealth in the nation as a whole. Long stretches of shore are the exclusive dominion of America’s super rich. A substantial segment is fenced off for the enjoyment of a shrinking upper middle class who can still …

Review Of Jay M. Stottman, Ed. Archaeologists As Activists: Can Archaeologists Change The World?, Sarah E. Bond
History Faculty Research and Publications
Christensen urges archaeologists to enter "the fray of current sociopolitical debates" (p. 20) but to choose associations and involvements with care. [...]she implores us to view activist sites, such as Gage's, as a means to reassess the past and dismantle stereotypes. [...]it is evident that the strengths of this volume lie in delivering something that has not, to my knowledge, been provided yet: a self-help book for archaeologists who aspire to reconceptualize, reformulate, and initiate their roles within the larger sociopolitical arena.

Hannah Arendt's Analysis Of Antisemitism In The Origins Of Totalitarianism: A Critical Appraisal, Peter Staudenmaier
Hannah Arendt's Analysis Of Antisemitism In The Origins Of Totalitarianism: A Critical Appraisal, Peter Staudenmaier
History Faculty Research and Publications
Hannah Arendt's seminal work The Origins of Totalitarianism begins with an extended study of the history of antisemitism. Many of Arendt's arguments in this groundbreaking text have been challenged by other scholars. Examining the chief contours of Arendt's account of the rise of modern antisemitism, Staudenmaier offers detailed reasons for approaching her conclusions sceptically while appreciating the book's other virtues. Arendt's repeated reliance on antisemitic sources, her inconsistent analysis of assimilation, her overstated distinction between social and political dimensions of anti-Jewish sentiment, and her emphasis on partial Jewish responsibility for antisemitism indicate fundamental problems with her interpretation of the historical …

Irish-American Identity, Memory, And Americanism During The Eras Of The Civil War And First World War, John French
Irish-American Identity, Memory, And Americanism During The Eras Of The Civil War And First World War, John French
Dissertations (1934 -)
This dissertation connects the well-documented history of the repression of wartime dissent in the United States with the complex relationship between Americans and immigrants. The study focuses specifically on Irish-American efforts to insulate themselves from accusations of unpatriotic and un-American attitudes and behaviors by highlighting their uniquely American contributions and principles. The Civil War and First World War eras provide ideal time frames for such an evaluation. Marked by xenophobia and institutionalized nativism, each era found many Americans and government officials accusing the American Irish of disloyalty because of their opposition to the prosecution of the war. In order to …
Introducing The Incomparable Hildegarde: The Sexuality, Style, And Image Of A Forgotten Cultural Icon, Monica Gallamore
Introducing The Incomparable Hildegarde: The Sexuality, Style, And Image Of A Forgotten Cultural Icon, Monica Gallamore
Dissertations (1934 -)
This study is an historical biography of the popular American entertainer from the nineteen-forties and fifties named Hildegarde. Known by her first name long before such designations became commonplace, Hildegarde achieved such celebrity status that she influenced women's fashions and promoted a number of consumer products. She even had her own signature Revlon lipstick and nail polish called "Hildegarde Rose." Hildegarde's career spanned for more than seventy years, beginning as a pianist for silent movies in Milwaukee and eventually becoming the darling of nightclubs and supper clubs. Unfortunately, few people remember this entertainer or her influence. She has been overlooked …
A Place Under Heaven: Amerindian Torture And Cultural Violence In Colonial New France, 1609-1729, Adam Stueck
A Place Under Heaven: Amerindian Torture And Cultural Violence In Colonial New France, 1609-1729, Adam Stueck
Dissertations (1934 -)
This doctoral dissertation is entitled, A Place Under Heaven: Amerindian Torture and Cultural Violence in Colonial New France, 1609-1730. It is an analysis of Amerindian customs of torture by fire, cannibalism, and other forms of cultural violence in New France during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Contemporary French writers and many modern historians have described Amerindian customs of torturing, burning, and eating of captives as either a means of military execution, part of an endless cycle of revenge and retribution, or simple blood lust. I argue that Amerindian torture had far more to do with the complex sequence of Amerindian …
Ontological Subordination In Novatian Of Rome's Theology Of The Son, Daniel Lloyd
Ontological Subordination In Novatian Of Rome's Theology Of The Son, Daniel Lloyd
Dissertations (1934 -)
This dissertation evaluates Novatian of Rome's theology of the Son in his De Trinitate. It argues that Novatian presents the Son as ontologically subordinate to the Father, which is not a conclusion shared by a majority of recent scholars. This conclusion is reached by comparing Novatian's presentation of the Father's divinity with that of the Son. The first half of this work, therefore, demonstrates the manner by which Novatian affirms that the Father is transcendent, supreme, and unique in His attributes. Novatian employs a range of concepts and terms found in Christian and non-Christian sources. Specifically, I present and analyze …
