Under Western Eyes And Terrorism Today, Joyce Wexler

English: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Although historians and literary critics discount the practical information about terrorism in Under Western Eyes, social science research corroborates Conrad's account of terrorism and counter-terrorism in nineteenth-century Russia. According to this research, terrorists are indistinguishable from the general population until they decide to join a terrorist group, and the best way to prevent terrorism is to study the specific mindset of terrorist groups. The novel animates these findings in its depiction of fundamental similarities between the bomber and the informer. Haldin and Razumov pursue community as well as autonomy, although their paths are quite different. The novel not only …

Upping The Anti: Tracing The Literary Antihero From Its Edifying Roots To Its Potent Threat Upon The Behavior Of American Youth, Sarah E. Dunlap

Selected Honors Theses

The literary antihero is continually increasing in potency, emerging today in its most morally egregious form; thus, while the chasm between the antiheroes’ edifying ethical roots and present state of criminal agency expands rapidly, the threat of the antiheroes’ morally ambiguous plots become mimetically transferential to contemporary American youth. This thesis explores the rise in potency in three literary periods. Outlining one foundational novel for each respective era, through Roland Barthes’ structuralism, reveals, on the one hand, the underlying cultural causalities of aberrant behavior and, on the other hand, each character’s unique mental conditions. In Model A, the tenets of …

Recording Angels: Examining Female Narrators In Vampire Fiction And Film, Jacqueline T. Bashaw

College Honors Program

Authors of vampire fiction often grapple with the shifting gender norms of the late nineteenth century. They explore these shifting tensions through the creation of complex narrative structures, some of which incorporate female narrators. By making these women narrators, these authors carefully consider female perspectives and the authority women can wield, both as narrators in their respective texts, and as women in late nineteenth-century British society who were confined to rigid gender roles. The narrative tension that arises between the narrator and the text then allows these authors to use literature to explore and theorize about broader societal tensions.

West By Midwest, Lucas Shepherd

English Language and Literature ETDs

His family died in a car accident, but the vehicular mayhem of demolition derby still attracts former aircraft mechanic Sid Rivers. Rules of the road change on the track: you must crash. In between county fair derbies, Sid hunts for the hit-and-run driver who killed his family, but everything changes the night he gives a ride to the wrong hitchhiker: Eden, a recovering meth addict on the run. With her in tow, Sid must dodge a crucible of crooked cops, ex-football stars, and a taxidermist who doesn’t limit his work to the animal kingdom. Just before Sid ditches his troublesome …

Writing Language : Composition, The Academy, And Work., Bruce Horner

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

This paper argues that while college composition courses are commonly charged with remediating students by providing them with the literacy skills they lack, they may instead be redefined as providing the occasion for rewriting language and knowledge. By bringing to the fore the dependence of language and knowledge on the labor of writing, a pedagogy of recursion, mediation, and translation of knowledge through writing and revision counters neoliberalism’s commodification of knowledge and language, and offers an alternative justification for continuing education as the occasion for students to remediate language and knowledge through writing.

"There's places around here," Rego's mother told him once, outside on their front porch over coffee and tea, "where demons walk."

"Demons, then?" He was always playful, he always catered to her.

"Devils," she whispered harshly, and her skinny fingers shivered against her cigarette. ~excerpt from short story
