Undergraduates And Topic Selection: A Librarian’S Role, 2013 Utah State University
Undergraduates And Topic Selection: A Librarian’S Role, Kacy Lundstrom, Flora Shrode
Flora Shrode
Research shows that undergraduate students struggle with the initial stage of the research process, mainly identifying and defining a topic. Little current research addresses how undergraduates engage in this process, including how and where they seek help. The results of focus groups indicate that students have individual and varied methods for topic selection, but that many of them choose topics based on their perception of a few major characteristics, mainly perceived ease, pleasing the instructor/following the assignment, personal relatability and/or interest, and the ability to locate sufficient resources to research a topic. Many students identified their instructor as a person …

Editorial Collaboration And Control: Laura Riding And The Seizen Press Years, 2013 University of Denver
Editorial Collaboration And Control: Laura Riding And The Seizen Press Years, Christina Cain Whitney
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
With the founding of Seizin Press in 1927, Laura Riding began a new epoch in her career as poet and literary theorist. Along with her partner, Robert Graves, Riding worked among and with important literary tastemakers of the Modernist era, such as Gertrude Stein, Len Lye and James Reeves. Riding's demanding and intense editorial and collaborative style resulted in some unique and fascinating works, such as the bizarrely beautiful Life of the Dead and the egomaniacal The World and Ourselves. Beyond close literary examination of the above works, this study looks at the pressures both within the Seizin Press …
The Caustic Pen Is Mightiest: A Tradition Of Female Satire In The Novels Of Jane Austen, Ivy Compton-Burnett, And Muriel Spark, 2013 University of Denver
The Caustic Pen Is Mightiest: A Tradition Of Female Satire In The Novels Of Jane Austen, Ivy Compton-Burnett, And Muriel Spark, Jaclyn Andrea Reed
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Female satirists have long been treated by critics as anomalies within an androcentric genre because of the reticence to acknowledge women's right to express aggression through their writing. In Pride and Prejudice (1813), A House and Its Head (1935), and The Girls of Slender Means (1963), Jane Austen (1775-1817), Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969), and Muriel Spark (1918-2006) all combine elements of realism and satire within the vehicle of the domestic novel to target institutions of their patriarchal societies, including marriage and family dynamics, as well as the evolving conceptions of domesticity and femininity, with a subtle feminism. These female satirists illuminate …
'Everything Looks Different Up Close': Perception In Margaret Atwood's Oryx And Crake And The Year Of The Flood, 2013 University of Denver
'Everything Looks Different Up Close': Perception In Margaret Atwood's Oryx And Crake And The Year Of The Flood, Jennifer Leora Nessel Cassidy
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the first two books of her MaddAdam series (a projected trilogy), Margaret Atwood explores a series of events from three very different perspectives. A close reading of the two texts suggests that the specific focalizers chosen, and their very different ways of perceiving the world around them, are central issues in the novels. In Oryx and Crake, Atwood establishes the apocalypse as a problem of dystopian vision through the book's deeply flawed focalizer. In The Year of the Flood two alternative visions are offered in order to rehabilitate the perceptual problems of the first text. In the three …

Generative Space: Embodiment And Identity At The Margins On The Early Modern Stage, 2013 University of Mississippi
Generative Space: Embodiment And Identity At The Margins On The Early Modern Stage, Sallie Anglin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In "Generative Space: Embodiment and Identity at the Margins on the Early Modern Stage," I argue that the early modern stage provides a space in which emerging, marginal and unsanctioned identities can be shaped through the physical interactions between characters and their environments. Spaces that are marginalized on the stage, set apart from the main action of the play, or considered culturally or environmentally offensive, harbor figures that are not socially accepted or alloto exist legitimately outside of those spaces. This is in some ways liberating to the characters, but at the same time their identities are contingent upon the …
My Mother's Daughter, 2013 University of Texas at El Paso
My Mother's Daughter, Monica Vanessa Martinez
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
In order to address the way the Chicano culture attempts to silence its women, My Mother's Daughter is a collection of short stories narrated by Chicanas. The collection uses the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters to highlight the conflicts that lead to the silencing of Chicanas. The collection attempts to challenge this silencing by utilizing the first person perspective to give a voice to these traditionally silenced women. Another literary technique employed is the use of dramatic irony. With multiple first person narrators in the same story the collection uses dramatic irony as a way of playing up the …

Evolución EstilíStica De La Expresión Del Sufrimiento En La PoesíA De Alfonsina Storni, 2013 University of Texas at El Paso
Evolución EstilíStica De La Expresión Del Sufrimiento En La PoesíA De Alfonsina Storni, Jesus Eduardo Morales
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
La presente investigación se propone superar dos obstáculos que afectan la crítica literaria sobre Alfonsina Storni: el estigma de su poesía como "escritura de (y para) mujeres" y la interpretación de su obra desde su mitificada biografía.
¿Cómo abordar la obra de Storni con una metodología que la revalorice, cuando la perspectiva de género y la exactitud biográfica han agotado ya sus posibilidades? La respuesta se halla en un abordaje de tipo estilístico que dé luz sobre el proceso evolutivo por el cual pasa la elaboración lírica. Sin embargo para la puesta en práctica de tal método, es obligado encontrar …

Making Commitments To Racial Justice Actionable, 2013 University of Texas at Austin
Making Commitments To Racial Justice Actionable, Rasha Diab, Thomas Ferrel, Beth Godbee, Neil Simpkins
English Faculty Research and Publications
In this article, we articulate a framework for making our commitments to racial justice actionable, a framework that moves from narrating confessional accounts to articulating our commitments and then acting on them through both self-work and work-with-others, a dialectic possibility we identify and explore. We model a method for moving beyond originary confessional narratives and engage in dialogue with "the willingness to be disturbed," (Wheatley, 2002) believing that disturbances are productive places from which we can more clearly articulate and act from our commitments. Drawing on our own experiences, we engage the political, systemic, and enduring nature of racism as …

Homing : Poetry ; &, An Essay On The Poetic Leap In The Late Work Of R.S. Thomas, 2013 Edith Cowan University
Homing : Poetry ; &, An Essay On The Poetic Leap In The Late Work Of R.S. Thomas, Shevaun Cooley
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Homing, as a collection, speaks to the capacity and yearning to navigate our way towards something we might call home. In animal behaviour, this seems like an instinct, hard-wired to the body. It is something I envy. By comparison, the instinct, in human behaviour, feels muffled and complicated.
These poems move between two places in which I feel ‘at home’, whatever that means: the south-west of Western Australia, where I was born and raised, and the north-west of Wales, where I lived for a time, and find myself returning to, drawn not by blood, but by longing, and a deep …
