Gifts In The Burgundian Court Analyzing Financial Records From The Fifteenth Century, Liel Boyce, Dr. Jesse Hurlbut
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The Duke of Burgundy was a major broker of art, culture, civilization and power in Western Europe in the fifteenth century. The administration of his wealth and all his expenditures was centralized in a single office called the “Chambre des Comptes.” These annual records span nearly the entire century, and, in most cases, at least one of the copies from each year survives today. In an earlier project under a former MEG grant, Professor Hurlbut and a small team of students photographed these historical documents from the departmental archives in Lille, France. However, because of the archaic, stylized lettering in …

Caragiale: An Experience In 20th Century Romanian Cinema, Michael Wilson, Dr. Anca Sprenger
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The “new wave of Romanian Cinema,” as the recent success of films by a handful of Romanian directors has been named, has made quite a splash in the pool of International Cinema. At the Cannes International Film Festival, the most prestigious film festival in the world, Romanian films have been taking the competition by surprise. In the last 4 years, Romanian directors have taken home seven prestigious awards, including two Palme d’Or, the equivalent of the grand prize given at Cannes. A.O. Scott, a film critic for the New York Times, puts it this way:

Windows Of France: A Collage Of French Culture Through The Eye Of A Camera, Kimberly A. Ingram, Dr. Michael D. Bush
Journal of Undergraduate Research
This grant has enabled me to embark upon an exciting project that will improve the tools available in the field of French Language acquisition, a video disc textbook. This project contains three main objectives: 1) set up a bilingual database of the images necessary to compile a “little c” culture textbook [i.e. the small, day to day activities that set apart daily life in France from other cultures], 2) obtain the actual images, 3) work with a publishing company and submit it for publication.

Balzac And A Christian Narrative Model: A Message For Modern France, Morgan Dennis, Dr. Scott Sprenger
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Honoré de Balzac was one of the most prolific French authors in the 19th century, and scholars around the world publish numerous articles and books about his enormous collection of novels (known as La Comédie Humaine) every year. Despite the fact that religious symbols, references, and images abound through Balzac’s fiction and non-fiction writings, the religious dimension of his novels has largely been ignored because of the secular state of much of modern academics today. When I learned this in Dr. Scott Sprenger’s class during the winter semester of 2008 as we read several of Balzac’s novels, I decided to …

Jeanine Meerapfel And Her Films – An Interview, Jonathan Smith, Dr. Daryl Lee
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Jeanine Meerapfel has been a professional filmmaker for 30 years and is an important, though often overlooked, voice in German and Argentine cinema. Meerapfel, born in Argentina to German-Jewish parents who fled Germany during World War II, has worked in Germany, Argentina, and Greece, and has directed both fiction and documentary films. Since her first feature film, Malou [1981], she has tackled issues of immigration, identity and how one reconciles the past, with each subsequent film adding to the discussion of those issues. Jeanine Meerapfel’s work is fascinatingly complex and often defies rudimentary forms of categorization, proving far more complicated …

Summary Of Creative Research Grant Results And Artistic Statement, Erika Feinauer, Dr. Michael Bus
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The purpose of this project was to obtain materials for a photo database to be used in French language instruction. This was accomplished by traveling to France and taking a myriad of pictures. I was in France from April 12 to May 8, 1996. My sister traveled with me and was my aide. We bought Eurorail Passes for the trains, and made it a backpacking excursion. I feel that we made significant contributions to the project in terms of volume of photographs, however, I was surprised at some of the difficulties that I encountered. I hadn’t foreseen some of the …

Teaching French Literacy In West Africa As Part Of A Byu Study Abroad Program, Charles Thomas Sones, Dr. Chantel P. Thompson
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Before arriving in Africa, our contact had arranged for us to work in a village outside of Saint-Louis, Senegal, within walking distance of where we would be studying. We were told that a group of twenty adults and twenty children were already selected who needed literacy skills. Although we were not sure of their specific levels, we were told that most had no literacy skills and many would have no French language skills.

Summary Of Creative Project—Images Of French Canada: An Educational Tool For The French Language Classroom, Heather A. Young, Dr. Michael Bush
Journal of Undergraduate Research
This creative project constitutes one component of an initiative undertaken by Dr. Michael Bush to obtain and use culturally authentic images of everyday life in Francophone countries to illustrate lexical and grammatical concepts in the French language classroom. Receiving the ORCA Scholarship enabled me to take over 830 photographs illustrating a broad range of concepts, which will be used in classroom instruction at BYU and will eventually be made available to French language teachers across the United States. These photos are in addition to well over 3000 images which have already been obtained by other students.

Foreign Language Anxiety In The Classroom And In An Online Environment, Monica Baez-Holley
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study compared the levels of anxiety that students experienced when taking a foreign language in the classroom with those taking a foreign language at a distance. It also aimed to determine if the student’s academic performance in the course could be predicted by his or her foreign language anxiety level. The sample consisted of 107 undergraduate students (57 traditional classroom students and 50 online students) enrolled in SPAN 101 at Indiana State University in the spring of 2012. Participants were asked to complete the L120 Questionnaire 2 developed by Hurd (2003). The original version of the instrument was used …

Unemployment And Marital Quality In Single- And Two-Earner Marriages, Andrew M. Bland
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A need was recognized for a broad-based quantitative study on the impact of unemployment upon marital relationship quality in light of recent societal changes and the current economic climate. Recently, researchers have suggested that unemployment is less severe in partnerships that reflect progressive shifts in values and expectations within marital relationships. It was worth exploring whether this claim generalized across a broader sample of contemporary marriages, including those that uphold more traditional values. An ex post facto correlational design was used to assess how unemployment impacts marital quality in single breadwinner vs. dual-earner couples in the current economy. Participants were …

Les Voix De La Souffrance Dans L'Innommable Et Oh Les Beaux Jours De Samuel Beckett : Une ÉTude Psychanalytique, Isabella Jeanne Dougan
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
The literary works of Samuel Beckett have always had great interest for critics, researchers and biographers. Considered one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century, Beckett is much discussed, but some — philosophers such as Jean- Paul Sartre, for instance — have praised him for his treatment of the absurd, while others have done so for his introduction of new novelistic and dramatic forms as well as for the beauty of his language. Many critics have called him the writer of despair and his plays were among the earliest contributions to the “Theatre of the Absurd." Recognizing the …

Factors Influencing Family Medicine Residents’ Screening For Intimate Partner Violence, Melissa Bruder
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Intimate partner violence among adolescents is a serious and widespread problem. It is apparent that victims of intimate partner violence experience physical and psychological consequences. These adverse health effects can result in adolescents seeking care from healthcare professionals. However, intimate partner violence victims do not always receive the care and response they need. Because adolescents are reporting that not all healthcare professionals are screening for intimate partner violence, one must come to understand the factors that are hindering this occurrence. Although previous research has provided a foundation for understanding factors that influence intimate partner violence screening, researchers have not specifically …
