Journey To The Wilderness: Two Travelers In Florida, 1696-1774, Mary S. Mattfield
Journey To The Wilderness: Two Travelers In Florida, 1696-1774, Mary S. Mattfield
Florida Historical Quarterly
The eastern coast of the State of Florida is today heavily populated. From Jupiter Inlet north to the Georgia state line, vacation resorts and permanent communities front the Atlantic all the way. It is not easy to visualize this shore as wilderness through which a traveler could make his way only with the greatest difficulty, a cruel wilderness of burning desert and freezing exposure, of lacerating thorns and shells, and of near starvation. It is still harder to imagine the traveler on this coast beset, not only by natural perils, but also by the menace of hostile, even cannibalistic Indian …
An Episode In The Third Seminole War, James W. Covington
An Episode In The Third Seminole War, James W. Covington
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Third Seminole War covers the period from December 1855 to the spring of 1858. Although this war brought to a complete standstill nearly all economic growth in central and southern Florida and involved a large expenditure of money and men by national and state forces, it has been virtually ignored by writers who have preferred to pay more attention to the much more famous conflict which lasted from 1835 to 1842. The Second Seminole War attained national attention because the Indians were not crushed and because such well-known figures as Thomas Jesup, Zachary Taylor, Winfield Scott, Richard K. Call, …
Can You See Me? Re-Centering Biracial Voices Through Chicana Intervention In Children's Literature, Andrea Putala
Can You See Me? Re-Centering Biracial Voices Through Chicana Intervention In Children's Literature, Andrea Putala
Master of Arts in American Studies Capstones
Can You See Me? Re-Centering Biracial Voices through Chicana Intervention in Children’s Literature offers critical reflection on an applied research project: the writing of a children’s book that interrogates how introducing a complex theoretical concept would take form. Children’s media introduced in the home and the school are some of the biggest influences when it comes to identity and societal expectations. Unfortunately for students who are bi or multiracial, there has been a lot of erasure of their voices and experiences that do not help cultivate positive identity formations. Chicana feminists situated their voices, histories, and experiences within their …

Kinstitution: A Topia Between Archive And Proposal, Christopher Lineberry
Theses and Dissertations
Situating Topher Lineberry's work, this paper offers a primer on institutional critique, preliminary developments of "kinstitutional critique," and the cultivation of family-derived art history through the work of the artist's grandmother, Helen Lineberry. Feeding into a working understanding of family-and-kin-as-institution, the paper ultimately locates Topher Lineberry's work between relations to place, historical archives, and speculative proposals.

The Exploration Of Florida And Sources On The Founding Of St. Augustine, Luis Rafael Arana
The Exploration Of Florida And Sources On The Founding Of St. Augustine, Luis Rafael Arana
Florida Historical Quarterly
Four hundred years ago, Europeans made the first permanent settlement within the present limits of the United States. These were Spaniards who under Pedro Menendez de Aviles established St. Augustine in 1565, upon land discovered fifty-two years earlier. In the interval between discovery and colonization, the coast of Florida had been gradually charted and portions of the interior explored. Though all attempts at planting the civilization of Spain in the new land failed until Menendez appeared on the scene, the discoveries of Juan Ponce de Leon, Alonso Alvarez de Pineda, Panfilo de Narvaez, and Hernando de Soto gradually outlined the …

Art And Aids: Viral Strategies For Visibility, Stephen Baylor Pillow
Art And Aids: Viral Strategies For Visibility, Stephen Baylor Pillow
Honors Theses
“Art & AIDS: Viral Strategies for Visibility” examines the complex relationships between social stigma, healthcare, homophobia, and mortality, and how these impacted the lives of Western artists and manifested in their works. Most of the art discussed in this thesis was produced during the height of the AIDS crisis (late-1980s to mid-1990s). During this period, gay artists and their allies employed new strategies in their work to inspire activism, and convey intense emotions –– predominantly frustration, grief, and anxiety –– associated with HIV/AIDS. In the U.S., the inaction of the Reagan administration was largely due to widespread homophobia kindled by …
Eagle Eye Vs. Gear Jammer, Jessica Danielle Ellis
Eagle Eye Vs. Gear Jammer, Jessica Danielle Ellis
Theses and Dissertations
Where similarities in class struggle have historically operated as a unifying force globally, the American crafted mythos isolates the individual and dehumanizes those that do not fall within the parameters of the cowboy archetype. The national protagonist is turned into a class traitor and an extension of government power.
Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story? A Marxist Analysis Of "Hamilton" And Its Relationship To The Broadway Economic System, Alana Ritt
Honors Projects
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s mega-hit Hamilton: An American Musical has been both a critical and academic darling since its premiere in 2015. A historical retelling of America’s inception through the eyes of an oft-ignored founding father, the musical weaves together a diverse cast and hip-hop musical stylings in order to tell the story of “America then, as told by America now.” While many critics and scholars alike have praised the musical for putting an exciting and accessible twist to American history, others have argued that the musical is not nearly as “revolutionary” as it claims to be. This essay is designed to …

Florida Books From University Presses, Herbert J. Doherty, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Three universities in the state of Florida now support presses devoted to the publication of scholarly and worthwhile books. The publication of volumes dealing with the history of Florida has been one of their important functions. The oldest of the presses is that founded in 1945 at the University of Florida. Its first publication was a brief history of the state, Rembert W. Patrick’s Florida Under Five Flags. Since its first appearance it has gone through three editions and has been a perennial bestseller. Since 1945, under the direction of Lewis F. Haines, the University of Florida Press has turned …

The editors commend to the careful attention of all of our readers the provocative lead article in this number written by Dr. Charles W. Arnade of the University of South Florida. Few will agree with everything that is said in it, but the editors believe that it is a fair representation of the cavalier disregard for the historical heritage of Florida which is shown by too many of our citizens who should know better.
Recent Problems Of Florida History, Charles W. Arnade
Recent Problems Of Florida History, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
The time I come to you not with a research paper which has resurrected from oblivion with the help of original documents a certain phase or episode of Florida history. That kind of job is tedious but rewarding and requires expert training, enthusiasm, perseverance, and often linguistic and paleographic knowledge. This last might seem to be snobbish or an expression of professional conceit. It is not. Rather, it emphasizes the problem we face here in Florida in dealing with state and local history. This problem is nothing other than what is the difference and what should be the proper cooperation …

Zora Neale Hurston, Theodore Pratt
Florida Historical Quarterly
For many years, when giving talks in Florida, I have pointed out that there is only one first-class native-born Florida author who has written any even small body of work about the state. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Philip Wylie, and all the others were born elsewhere and adopted the Florida scene. The exception was Zora Neale Hurston. Seldom, on inquiry, had any of the audiences ever heard of her or known any of her work. At that point I revealed to the white southern audiences that Zora was a Negro. As I announced this I looked around for the nearest exit. …

The Avero Story: An Early Saint Augustine Family With Many Daughters And Many Houses, Charles W. Arnade
Florida Historical Quarterly
By November 10, 1702, the English forces led by the ruthless James Moore, Governor of English Carolina, had occupied the town of St. Augustine. Over 1500 people took refuge in the Spanish fort which the English never were able to conquer. For two months Moore besieged the fort. The Spanish artillery was weak and ineffectual in driving away the enemy; the English artillery was inadequate against the massive walls of the fort. Moore tried to place his guns within closer range of the moat. The Spanish, afraid of this maneuver, dispatched a patrol with orders to burn all houses within …

Narrative Of Habitus Distinction: From Fantasy Of Identity To Competition Of Elegance——Centering On The Image Of People Subject To Identity Transformations In Modern Fictions, Daizong Yu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Sociological or anthropological list of the habitus of people are from different classes, focusing on the strategy and function of habitus distinction in social struggles from the perspectives of political culture, economic level, and intergenerational reproduction. In contrast, modern fictions depict different forms of struggles from the perspectives of perceptual experience, emotional change, and taste preference. The narrative of habitus distinction in modern fictions shows the obstinacy of old habitus, the fragility of new habitus, and the aggressiveness of habitus in the struggles of classification. Its insight and aesthetic interpretation provide not only a more precise way but also a …
Suggestions For Research In The Culture And Society Of A Spanish Florida, William B. Griffen
Suggestions For Research In The Culture And Society Of A Spanish Florida, William B. Griffen
Florida Historical Quarterly
Florida was established as a functional part of the Spanish colonies in 1565. Saint Augustine was from the beginning the focal point of the Spanish Empire in Florida from which the social and cultural influences of the Iberian civilizers were radiated into the hinterland, transforming to some degree both the physical environment and the human groups bearing different ways of life which were encountered. But, not only from the standpoint of Spanish-Indian culture contact and acculturation does early Florida hold interest for the anthropologist. The imported European culture is also of tremendous importance to be understood in the development of …
