Handling The Perceptual Politics Of Identity In Great Expectations, Peter J. Capuano 2010 University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Handling The Perceptual Politics Of Identity In Great Expectations, Peter J. Capuano

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Historicizing hands in the context of contemporary discourse allows us to evaluate how this particular part of the body became a site where scientists and novelists alike could re-imagine “progress” and transformation. In the world of Great Expectations, those who fail to adapt and change never truly make any progress, and Dickens has some fun with this idea as he concludes the novel. While people like Pumblechook conspicuously offer “the same fat five fingers” in the text’s beginning and its end, Joe, over the same course of time, develops not only his laboring hand but his writing one as …


Seeking New Worlds: The Study Of Writing Beyond Our Classrooms, Bronwyn T. Williams 2010 University of Louisville

Seeking New Worlds: The Study Of Writing Beyond Our Classrooms, Bronwyn T. Williams

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

As new ways of creating and interpreting texts complicate ideas of how and why writing happens, the field of rhetoric and composition needs to be more conscious of how our institutional responsibilities and scholarly attention to college writing have limited its vision of writing and literacy. It is time to move beyond consolidating our identity as a field focused on college writing, reach out to other literacy-related fields, and form a broader, more comprehensive, and more flexible identity as part of a larger field of literacy and rhetorical studies.

The Cinema Of Control: On Diabetic Excess And Illness In Film, Kevin L. Ferguson 2010 CUNY Queens College

The Cinema Of Control: On Diabetic Excess And Illness In Film, Kevin L. Ferguson

Publications and Research

While not rare, films that do represent diabetes must work around the disease’s banal invisibility,and images of diabetics in film are thus especially susceptible to metaphor and exaggeration.This essay is the first to outline a diabetic filmography, discussing medical and cinematic strategies for visualizing the disease as well as how the illness informs family plots and heroic characters in horror films. Doing so, it participates in a larger discussion of the manner in which film images of ill or disabled groups sustain notions of “normalcy” by both representing and denying otherness.

Ignatian Values In The Core Curriculum, Phyllis Brown, Diane Jonte-Pace 2010 Santa Clara University

Ignatian Values In The Core Curriculum, Phyllis Brown, Diane Jonte-Pace

English

In this essay we examine three major resources for revising the core curriculum in Jesuit universities, commenting on how each can contribute to an integrated Ignatian core, guiding us toward answers to our questions about content and pedagogy. Our rich Jesuit tradition is one of these resources. Two other important resources are contemporary publications about promoting citizenship in higher education and about supporting student learning through assessment.

The Ireland Of James Anthony Froude: A Nineteenth Century Drama, Janet Murphy 2010 Department of Humanities and Social Science, Institute of Technology, Tralee, Kerry, Ireland

The Ireland Of James Anthony Froude: A Nineteenth Century Drama, Janet Murphy

Theses

Using primary material in a manner unprecedented at the time, James Anthony Froude was an English historian of the Victorian era whose histories encompassed Ireland. Among his works relating to Ireland was a ten-book study of the eighteenth century that extended from the penal era to the Union of 1800. While such scholars as W. E. H. Lecky objectified their histories by accumulating data, Froude supplemented his with anecdote, maintaining that the perfect history was told in the words and deeds of those who acted it out.

His methodology was not determinately structured: he laboured with vast quantities of primary …
