Envisioning A Postfeminist Composition Studies,

Envisioning A Postfeminist Composition Studies, Melissa Miles
English Dissertations - Archive
We must look at the changing sociological conditions that challenge many of the foundations of composition studies in order to develop the discipline. Although postfeminism is evident within academic and popular culture, so far postfeminism has been little addressed in composition studies. In the composition classroom, we can see evidence of postfeminism in the student resistance to overt and subvert expressions of feminist pedagogy and/or content. The essentialist and emancipatory elements of both feminism and composition studies not only are limiting pedagogically, but, in my view, also in themselves generate student resistance. I argue that, in order to mediate this …
Rhetoric, Composition And Preaching: What Homiletic Pedagogy Can Learn About Imitation From Composition Pedagogies,

Rhetoric, Composition And Preaching: What Homiletic Pedagogy Can Learn About Imitation From Composition Pedagogies, Calvin Frederick Pearson
English Dissertations - Archive
Across the centuries there have been thousands of books and articles written about preaching and writing. Homiletics and Composition Studies have this in common. A great difference comes when one looks for information about the teaching of these two closely related fields. Composition Studies has a great abundance of books, articles, journals available to the teacher of composition; Homiletics has only a dozen or so, and those when read yield very little practical guidance as to how to teach preaching. This project seeks to show how the pedagogy of composition can inform the pedagogy of homiletics. Through the study of …

Bug-Eyed Monsters And The Encounter With The Postcolonial Other: An Analysis Of The Common Postcolonial Themes And Characteristics In Science Fiction, Paul David Lee
English Dissertations - Archive
Recently, a number of non-Western postcolonial authors have begun to use science fiction to express some of the common concerns of non-Western cultures such as hybridity, alterity and subalternity, as well as other issues like those concerning the body and community/hybridity, the future of former colonies extrapolated from colonial history, and encounters with the Other. This trend has also been common for Western writers from the beginning of science fiction as a distinct genre, and many Western authors have used it to highlight the superiority of Western empires, while others have used it as a tool to emphasize their negative …

Liquid Assets: The Functions Of Forgetting In Shakespeare's Second Henriad, Jonni Koonce Dunn
English Dissertations - Archive
This dissertation examines Shakespeare's second historical tetralogy in which the playwright employs forgetfulness despite its pathologized position in early modern culture and its seeming incompatibility with history. In Richard II, the King's forgetfulness attempts self-stabilization while his sustained forgetfulness, in response to the historical sublime, results in tragic poetry. Nietzschean ideas of judicious forgetfulness and plasticity, Langerian concepts of comedy, and the Andersonian notion of a unifying national amnesia inform a comparison of the functions of forgetfulness for Henry IV, Prince Hal, and Falstaff in 1 Henry IV. In 2 Henry IV forgetfulness deploys in the figure of Rumor, who …

Indi'n Humor, Tricksters, And Stereotype In Selected Works Of Gerald Vizenor, Thomas King, And Sherman Alexie, Corby J. Baxter
English Dissertations - Archive
Humor in American Indian literature is a popular and important area of study. Yet, to date few full-length studies have compared the role of humor in Gerald Vizenor, Thomas King, and Sherman Alexie. This study offers a comparison of the ways three of the best-known American Indian humorists use humor to talk about contemporary Native American experience. The dissertation explores the way humor--especially trickster humor--is used to re-imagine the Indian stereotype. The dissertation asserts, first, that American Indian stereotypes are created through American, utopian impulses and that the stereotypes are then distributed by colonialism to make both North American identity …

The Development Of Rhetorical Satire In Humanist Literature: Erasmus' The Praise Of Folly And More's Utopia, Luke Story
English Theses - Archive
This thesis explores how early Renaissance humanists developed an effective rhetorical satire to combat the follies, injustices, and inequalities that afflicted the European population in the late Middle Ages, particularly Desiderius Erasmus' The Praise of Folly and Sir Thomas More's Utopia. I examine both how the humanists were able to work out of the satirical tradition that was popular in the Middle Ages as well as how they utilized the rhetorical knowledge from various classical texts that were rediscovered in the early portion of the Renaissance.I pay close attention to how More and Erasmus used aspects of narration, characterization, and …
