Violence And Sexuality In The Art Of Artemesia Gentileschi, Elisa Zavala, Dr. Steve Bule
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Dynamism, vibrance, movement and sumptuous color all define the art of the Southern Baroque period. Throughout my study of Art History this period has been the focus of my interest, therefore the opportunity to travel about Italy and Spain was a prime experience to delve deeper into the works and life histories of the artists of the Southern Baroque. I found that simply being surrounded by the environment and the people that influenced the artists of this era took me to a different level of understanding. My main subject of study while in Italy was the artist Artemesia Gentileschi. The …

Bilingual Quotations In Renaissance Poetry And The Relations Of Romance Languages, Treb Hw Winegar, Dr. Christopher Lund
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The study of bilingual quotations, made possible by this grant, has led me into a number of fascinating, related sidetracks which have been very little studied, especially since the waning of the French school of literature compareè. I have taken the time to study some of these sidetracks since they are relevant to the phenomenon I proposed to study. Others I have been able only to marvel at and reserve for future study.

New Voices In The North The Prospect Of Post-National Identity In Scandinavia, Andrew Christensen, Dr. Christopher Oscarson
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Europe needs a new political identity. Politicians, political scientists, and philosophers are all clamoring for a change in the definition of European community. Without an emotional glue to bind them together, many fear the noble purpose of the EU’s supranational project will stagnate in a past puddle called the nation-state. My purpose in this project has been to find a new ethos for European identity.

Excavation On The North Slope Of Vesuvius: Establishing A Chronology, Kristina Sycamore, Dr. Roger Macfarlane
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Centuries of excavation around the south slope of Vesuvius has proven the volcanic eruption of 79 AD to be a boon to Roman archaeology and history. As multiple sites have been uncovered, archaeologists have viewed a snapshot in time. As a result, a great deal has been learned about the city of Pompeii and the surrounding area. It has become an essential resource and textbook example which Roman studies can scarcely avoid. However, for as much as this area surrounding Vesuvius has been uncovered, documented, and researched, the North Slope of the volcano has been largely ignored. Current excavations are …

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their article "Video Games and Citizenship" Jeroen Bourgonjon and Ronald Soetaert argue that digitization problematizes and broadens our perspective on culture and popular media and that this has important ramifications for our understanding of citizenship. Bourgonjon and Soetaert respond to the call of Gert Biesta for the contextualized study of young people's practices by exploring a particular aspect of digitization that affects young people, namely video games. They explore the new social spaces which emerge in video game culture and how these spaces relate to community building and citizenship. Bourgonjon and Soetaert also examine whether these social spaces can …

In their article "Rhetorical Analysis of Literary Culture in Social Reading Platforms" Joachim Vlieghe and Kris Rutten present a case study of the discourse surrounding literary phenomena that are emerging within social media. The case study is part of a methodological exploration within literacy studies whereby the social media's transformative effects on literary literacies are studied by focusing on language as symbolic and situated action. Vlieghe and Rutten have identified unique social reading platforms based on a prolonged study of the social media environment. The analysis of the developers' discourse on social reading platforms shows how developers are formulating new …

Literature, Digital Humanities, And The Age Of The Encyclopedia, Gunther Martens
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Literature, Digital Humanities, and the Age of the Encyclopedia" Gunther Martens takes his cue from Robert Musil's novel The Man without Qualities in order to discuss the way in which literature relates to new developments in technology. Martens argues that it is useful to situate some of the fears accompanying literature's renewed (and debated) exposure to media and technology against the background of a similar discussions earlier: the historical perspective allows to identify and link three specific discourses underpinning the debate, namely: education, rhetoric, and the concept of the encyclopedia. The encyclopedia and encyclopedic literature comprise and …

Since 2011, Aristotle University has been running a European Union funded project that deals with a wide range of supportive measures for Roma students. Sociologists, social workers, and educators are the primary participants responsible for its implementation. In her study Frangoulidou discusses gender relations and racism and presents an analysis of the participation and interaction of six high school students in a mixed class of twenty-eight students. The purpose of the study …

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "About the Destruction, Continuation, and Transformation of Art" Maet offers an answer to the question raised by Arthur C. Danto's thesis how to discern art from non-art? Maet considers art from the perspective of a technologically mediated reality and he distinguishes three different views on contemporary visual art: the destruction, the continuation, and the transformation of art. Maet considers these three artistic views as different strategies to deal with our current technological condition and evaluates the merits of each of them. He argues that our thoroughly designed reality turns the strategy of artistic destruction into a dangerous …

Perspectives On Literary Reading And Book Culture, Geert Vandermeersche, Ronald Soetaert
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their article "Perspectives on Literary Reading and Book Culture" Geert Vandermeersche and Ronald Soetaert provide a narrative framework for analyzing literary scholars' argumentation in the debate on literature and the humanities. Starting from MacIntyre's narrative description of epistemic "crises" they analyze the stories authors construct and the positions they take and ascribe to others within larger developing (grand) narratives on the value and function of literary reading. Both traditional narratives and new alternative (i.e., enlarged) narratives are discussed in how they set up and frame the argument and how they create dichotomies.

Reading, Literacy, And Education, Mikko Lehtonen
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Reading, Literacy, and Education" Mikko Lehtonen outlines a contextual approach to literacy. He asks how the changing relations of culture and economy, transformation of nation states and national cultures and changing notions concerning affect and cognition, transform notions of literacy and reading. Relying on the results of a recent Finnish research project on new reading communities and new ways of reading, Lehtonen highlights substantial continuities in the reading habits of the so called Google generation when compared to other generations of readers. Print media is not, however, connected self-evidently to cognitive reading among the said generation. Lehtonen …

Rhetoric, Citizenship, And Cultural Literacy, Kris Rutten, Ronald Soetaert
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their article "Rhetoric, Citizenship, and Cultural Literacy" Kris Rutten and Ronald Soetaert start from concerns in contemporary educational debates about a growing lack of civic literacy. These complaints are raised both in the public sphere, in institutions of pedagogy, and in scholarship about the form, content, and function of civic literacy and civic education. Although there is an ongoing debate about the alleged decrease of political interest and the current state of civic literacy, it is clear that civic education has become an important focus of different governmental initiatives. Rutten and Soetaert aim to move away from a straightforward …

In their article "Integrating Social Media in Education" Hadewijch Vanwynsberghe and Pieter Verdegem propose a framework in order to integrate social media literacy in an educational setting. In today's networked society students are new media users and hence the relevance in curricula to include social media literacy. Vanwynsberghe and Verdegem propose a multidimensional conceptual framework of social media literacy that includes the practical, cognitive, and affective competencies needed to deal with information of social media, to communicate with others through social media, to create content on social media, and to handle the consequences related to these three activities. On the …

Practical And Theoretical Implications Of Digitizing The Middle Ages, Roberta Capelli
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Practical and Theoretical Implications of Digitalizing the Middle Ages" Roberta Capelli discusses scholarship about and the teaching of medieval culture in digital humanities. While every medieval manuscript is an individual entity, displaying a series of unique and unrepeatable material, structural and aesthetic characteristics, digital devices are able to generate only two-dimensional photographic reproductions. However, the digital medium brings about some major improvements in the study — and teaching — of medieval manuscripts because the hypertextual nature of its applications allows us to analyse simultaneously synchronic and the diachronic dynamics. From a theoretical point of view, the difference …

This research aims to describe the various stereotypes, prejudices, and ethnocentrism that appear in the characters of the novel Generation Golf. A qualitative approach was applied in this research. The note-reading technique was used for data collection, and the data were analyzed using domain analysis. The results indicate that various forms of stereotypes, prejudices, and ethnocentric attitudes are present. The stereotypes identified include both negative and positive types; the prejudices appear in the form of negative feelings, beliefs, and actions; and ethnocentric attitudes are expressed through the attribution of German culture in comparison with other nations.

Conservation Of Archaeological Sites: A Case Study, Maseria De Carolis, Rosalie Sharp, Dr. Roger Mcfarlane
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The original purpose of my research was to develop a conservation plan for Maseria de Carolis (MDC), an archaeological site on the north slope of Mt. Vesuvius, Italy. Professional conservation of archaeological sites is a relatively new area of study. While conservation principles were first discussed in the 19th century, it was not until the 20th and 21st centuries that real steps were taken in developing principles for the conservation of structures, and conservation of structures became its own official sub-group of conservation, determined by the American Institute of Conservation (Matero 1993, 1). Because this sub-group is so new, codes …
