Laurent Binet's Hhhh: Historiographic Metafiction In Contemporary French Literature About World War Ii, Cailee S. Davis 2017 Columbus State University

Laurent Binet's Hhhh: Historiographic Metafiction In Contemporary French Literature About World War Ii, Cailee S. Davis

Theses and Dissertations

In the last two decades, a considerable number of contemporary French authors have employed metafiction—a narrative mode in which texts themselves purposefully call attention to the fact that they are fiction—when writing novels which attempt to grapple with traumatic events, namely World War II and the Holocaust. In attempting to understand this popular, but controversial literary phenomenon—called historiographic metafiction—, this thesis contextually analyzes Laurent Binet's Himmler's Him heisst Heydrich (2010), a contemporary French novel about the assassination of real-life Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich. This thesis also compares Binet's text to two other contemporary French historiographic metafictional novels about World War …


Transmitting Revolution: Radio, Rumor, And The 1953 East German Uprising, Michael Palmer Pulido 2017 Marquette University

Transmitting Revolution: Radio, Rumor, And The 1953 East German Uprising, Michael Palmer Pulido

Dissertations (1934 -)

This project examines public opinion in the Dresden Region of the German Democratic Republic from the end of World War II through the summer of 1953. I argue that the Socialist Unity Party (SED) projected its legitimacy through an official public sphere by representing publicness to its citizenry. Through banners, the press, and choreographed public demonstrations, it aimed to create the appearance of popular support. Even more significantly, the SED used radio to ground its legitimacy in a burgeoning post-war internationalism that bound residents of the GDR in an imagined community of socialist nations under Stalin’s leadership. At the same …

Self-Representation Of Women In Eighteenth-Century Europe: Lady Anna Miller And The Grand Tour, Annie Kristina Polzella 2017 University of South Florida

Self-Representation Of Women In Eighteenth-Century Europe: Lady Anna Miller And The Grand Tour, Annie Kristina Polzella

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The Grand Tour is known to scholars as a significant period of travel in which members of English society could immerse themselves in the foreign, while also adhering to established social customs. Scholarship previously regarded the Grand Tour as an intellectual journey for aristocratic Englishmen; however, an incorporation of women into this narrative has introduced many new and important themes that merit further study. Women’s increasing participation in the Grand Tour, which gained in popularity in the eighteenth century, reveals many unique aspects of British society in the period. The integration of women into the Tour is also an indication …


The Byline Of Europe: An Examination Of Foreign Correspondents' Reporting From 1930 To 1941, Kerry J. Garvey 2017 Illinois State University

The Byline Of Europe: An Examination Of Foreign Correspondents' Reporting From 1930 To 1941, Kerry J. Garvey

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis focuses on two of the largest foreign correspondents’ networks the one of the Chicago Tribune and New York Times- in prewar Europe and especially in Germany, thus providing a wider perspective on the foreign correspondents’ role in news reporting and, more importantly, how their reporting appeared in the published newspaper. It provides a new, broader perspective on how foreign news reporting portrayed European events to the American public. It describes the correspondents’ role in publishing articles over three time periods- 1930 to 1933, 1933-1939, and 1939 to 1941. Reporting and consequently the published paper depended on the correspondents’ …

Hitler's Inconsistent Jazz Policy And How It Weakened His Control, Emmy Freedman 2017 James Madison University

Hitler's Inconsistent Jazz Policy And How It Weakened His Control, Emmy Freedman

MAD-RUSH Undergraduate Research Conference

In my paper, I discuss Hitler’s ironclad regime and how jazz music played a role in weakening it. Jazz music, with its democratic style and history, served as the antithesis to Hitler’s favored classical compositions. Although he tried to control the music and its supporters, Hitler never fully understood the genre and therefore was never able to stop its spread across Germany. In the paper, I also discuss how jazz music played into race relations and its distinctions among the social strata. Jazz music and Hitler’s opposition to it also had an impact on technology, the 1936 Olympics and propaganda.

Displays Of Power In English Tudor Painting, Laura Meisner 2017 University of Lynchburg

Displays Of Power In English Tudor Painting, Laura Meisner

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

History passes down the visages of Tudor monarchs and their contemporaries through paintings that attempt to show us more than their mere likenesses. The faces of these monarchs reveal not only individual physiognomies of appearance, but also characteristics of the times. Painting in Tudor England, up to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1485-1558) reflected, and at times contributed, to shifting political and social structures in England. Patrons exercised great influence on the kind of art created and brought into England, and a study of this and how patrons utilized art as a means of propaganda reveals the way that …


Remembering The Great War: Writing And Publishing The Experiences Of Wwi, Ian A. Isherwood 2017 Gettysburg College

Remembering The Great War: Writing And Publishing The Experiences Of Wwi, Ian A. Isherwood

Gettysburg College Faculty Books

The horrors and tragedies of the First World War produced some of the finest literature of the century: including Memoirs of an Infantry Officer; Goodbye to All That; the poetry of Wilfred Owen and Edward Thomas; and the novels of Ford Madox Ford. Collectively detailing every campaign and action, together with the emotions and motives of the men on the ground, these 'war books' are the most important set of sources on the Great War that we have. Through looking at the war poems, memoirs and accounts published after the First World War, Ian Andrew Isherwood addresses the key issues …


Hıristiyanlık, Aydınlanma Ve Kolonyalizm: Rusya, Kuzey Kafkasya’Da, 1550-1800, Michael Khodarkovsky 2017 Loyola University Chicago

Hıristiyanlık, Aydınlanma Ve Kolonyalizm: Rusya, Kuzey Kafkasya’Da, 1550-1800, Michael Khodarkovsky

History: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Kuzey Kafkasya’nın 1820’lerdeki askeri fethinden önce bölgedeki Rus kolonileştirme anlayışına makul bir şüpheyle yaklaşılabilir. Aslında, Rusya’nın emperyal genişlemesi ile kolonyal deneyimi, odağı belli ve yeniden değerlendirme çalışmalarının nesnesi olacak ve kapsamlı kolonyal çalışmalara dâhil edilecek kadar hızla meydana gelmedi. Daha erken tarihli kaynakların yetersizliği ve sonraki yüzyılların, bugünkü durumla daha kapsamlı bir ilgisi olduğuna dair doğrulanması her zaman mümkün olmayan bir varsayım nedeniyle, erken Rusya İmparatorluğu’nu ilgilendiren konular, Rus emperyalizmiyle ilgili 19. ve 20. yüzyıllarda yapılan daha büyük çalışmalarda sınıflandırıldı.

Privilege As Blind Spot: Carl Jung, The Red Book, And The"Collective Unconscious", Laura L. M. Fair-Schulz, William E. Herman 2017 Department of Fine Art and Department of Psychology State University of New York College at Potsdam

Privilege As Blind Spot: Carl Jung, The Red Book, And The"Collective Unconscious", Laura L. M. Fair-Schulz, William E. Herman

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Carl Gustav Jung's monumental Liber Novus or The Red Book journal, begun in 1914 and published posthumously in 2009, presents the viewer with a dazzling array of painted images. 1 The project references both his accumulated and specialized knowledge as a theorist and practitioner of psychoanalysis, as well as the personal explorations of his own "subconscious" mind . It also reveals contextually his privilege of being able to undertake such a work.
