Gestural Ekphrasis: Toward A Phenomenology Of The Moving Body In Joyce And Woolf, Lauren Nicole Benke
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This theoretical project seeks to introduce a new critical methodology for evaluating gesture - both represented in text and paratextual - in the works of Virginia Woolf - specifically The Voyage Out (1915), Orlando (1928), The Waves (1931), and Between the Acts (1941) - and James Joyce - particularly Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939). Though gesture studies has developed significantly as an interdisciplinary field in recent decades and performance studies has elaborated on the moving body's significance to both text and performance, literary scholarship itself has not yet adequately incorporated possibilities for specific critical attention to gesture. Gesture is …

Chatter And Chant: Religion And Community On The Renaissance English Stage, Rachel Dunleavy Morgan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation examines moments in five English Renaissance plays when characters employ religious language in bids to consolidate or to fracture communities. The plays are John Bale's King Johan (c. 1538, revised c. 1560), Nathaniel Woodes' Conflict of Conscience (c. 1581); Thomas Heywood's A Woman Killed with Kindness (1603); Shakespeare's Cymbeline (1611); and John Webster's The White Devil (1612). The types of communities examined most closely are those of a small scale - relationships of individuals to God, marriages, families, friendships, households, parishes, courts - but these appear against the backdrop of much larger communities such as the nation …

“‘Self-Creators’ And ‘Self-Destroyers’: Shifting The Romanticized Image Of The Soldier Prevalent In American Media,

“‘Self-Creators’ And ‘Self-Destroyers’: Shifting The Romanticized Image Of The Soldier Prevalent In American Media, Amy S. Chafee
Spring Presentation of Undergraduate Research
The American media, through movies and books, often perpetuates a romanticized image of the soldier. Each solder, endowed with exceptional fortitude, selflessness, and resilience, willingly makes sacrifices for others despite tremendous – and sometimes unbelievable— obstacles. Other times, soldiers are vilified as belonging to a corrupt institution with a secretive agenda. The works of Deanna Schwartz and Daniel Corrie, the authors of I Couldn't Save My Boy and Book of Years, find a middle ground among these typical representations of soldiers, as they show soldiers both exhibiting great courage while dealing with hardships, yet showing vulnerability as they care for …

The Effect On Existence, De'siree Fairley
Spring Presentation of Undergraduate Research
The Rashomon effect is a sociological term that originated from the 1950 film Rashomon directed by Akira Kurosawa. It explains a story being told from multiple vantage points, but never gives an unbiasedly true version of the tale at its conclusion. By telling the story from multiple perspectives, characters who would originally be silenced such as the bride are given a voice. Telling the story in this format allows the audience to consider peoples’ perspectives that differ from their own. Without giving the audience the true conclusion of an incident this demands that they consider every aspect of a story …
