From Idyll To Exile: The Transformed Self In The Early Works Of Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, Elizabeth Powers Jan 1995

From Idyll To Exile: The Transformed Self In The Early Works Of Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, Elizabeth Powers

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation examines works of Goethe's pre-Weimar period and his autobiography, Dichtung und Wahrheit, which reconstructs that early period as the emergence of poet and oeuvre in terms of the abandonment of the idyll. It disputes the traditional view of Goethe as the poet of experience ("Erlebnis"). It seeks instead to demonstrate that Goethe wrote in the manner of his poetic forebears–by the imitation of literary models–and that "experience" was created in his work by emptying these models of their communal content. Once liberated from traditional literary forms, the new subjective lyric voice was literally homeless and its encounters with …


An Analysis Of The Social Profile Of The Kilfoyles Of Rosewood Station, Geraldine Byrne Jan 1995

An Analysis Of The Social Profile Of The Kilfoyles Of Rosewood Station, Geraldine Byrne

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Thomas Kilfoyle (1842-1908) participated in the 1883-1885 overlanding expedition from Queensland to the newly opened Kimberley district. There he became one of the founders of Rosewood Station, a property which under the guidance of Kilfoyle and son Jack (1893-1962) became an outstanding example of successful owner/management of a north Australian beef cattle station. Among the objectives of this thesis it is important to identify the major features in the Kilfoyles' management policies which enabled them to survive environmental and economic changes which brought many of their neighbours into financial difficulty. An important element was their successful management of Aboriginal labour, …


Science On Television : A Representational Site For Mediating Ideology, Helen C. Singleton Jan 1995

Science On Television : A Representational Site For Mediating Ideology, Helen C. Singleton

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

The emergence of a new science paradigm has been identified. It is characteristically described as structuring an organic, holistic and ecological framework for understanding the nature of reality. The modern scientific paradigm with its characteristic underlying inorganic, reductive, and mechanistic vision of reality, discursively dominates Western societies' cultural sense-making with its attempts to unlock the 'mysteries' of nature. The radically different characteristics of the new paradigm science is linked to 'rising culture' articulated in the exploratory social change of alternative social movements. The holistic principles and ecological values found variously in the environment, feminist, and new age/holistic health, peace and …


A Contrastive Cross-Cultural Study On American And Russian General Conventions Of Communication, Yuliya Kartalova Jan 1995

A Contrastive Cross-Cultural Study On American And Russian General Conventions Of Communication, Yuliya Kartalova

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The present study is devoted to cross-cultural communication between Russians and Americans. The objectives of the research are as follows: to collect linguistic and non-linguistic data on general communication conventions of Americans and Russians, that is, following Clyne (1983), to explore how aspects of culture and its institutions are encoded in symbolic meanings of 16 cultural themes. The influence of differences in these symbolic meanings on reported instances of Russian-American communication will be identified. The additional purpose of the research is to elicit and interpret national stereotypes which are hypothetically created by inadequate interpretations of the abovementioned themes. A qualitative …


Romancing Visual Women: From Canon To Console, Roberta Sabbath Dec 1994

Romancing Visual Women: From Canon To Console, Roberta Sabbath

English Faculty Research

This dissertation juxtaposes the romantic modal treatment of powerful, admired women which canonical male authors and feminist authors and critics construct with those constructed by contemporary women for the visual mass media of video, broadcast television, and computer. The discourse of the former produces the figure of a fragmented woman who is rare, supernatural, marginalized, and impossible. The discourse of the latter produces the figure of a psychologized woman who is typical, natural, mainstream, and possible. To examine the discourse of impossibility, I use three canonical works: Augustine's Confessions; Chretien de Troyes' Perceval; and Dante's Divine Comedy. I also survey …


The Semiotic Economy Of Colonization, J. Agustín Pastén B. Nov 1994

The Semiotic Economy Of Colonization, J. Agustín Pastén B.

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Review-essay on Inventing A-m-e-r-i-c-a; Spanish Historiography and the Formation of Eurocentrism, by José Rabasa.

In Inventing A-m-e-r-i-c-a: Spanish Historiography and the Formation of Eurocentrism, José Rabasa explores both the process of the creation of America via language and the gradual emergence of a European subjectivity key to the colonial enterprise of Europe. Although the author is on the side of those who believe that the New World was not discovered but invented, he disagrees with the notion of invention espoused by Edmundo O’Gorman in his classic La invención de América (1957; 1977). In the end, he states in his …


Chair's Report, Esther Katz Oct 1994

Chair's Report, Esther Katz

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

The work of CLAGS has been expanding and accelerating at such a rate that we find ourselves excited, but breathless. In an effort to systematize and regularize our procedures, we have adopted a set of by-laws that will govern our operation. In addition, we are happily benefiting from the infusion of creativity, commitment, and energy brought to our efforts by our talented new Board members. I am pleased to say we ended the academic year on an extremely positive note.


Review Of: Australian Rock Art: A New Synthesis, Paul Faulstich Oct 1994

Review Of: Australian Rock Art: A New Synthesis, Paul Faulstich

Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research

Rock-art studies have now come of age, and are among the most fertile explorations of expressive culture. Through an interdisciplinary approach to its study, we have expanded our knowledge into the realms of aesthetics, belief systems, and social structures. Australian rock an is particularly significant, since it is a visual expression that has been practiced by contemporary as well as prehistoric Aboriginals. Robert Layton's most recent book -his "new synthesis" of Australian rock art- is an ambitious and successful analysis of Aboriginal rock art from across the continent.

Spanish Music In The Twentieth Century [Book Review], Antoni Pizà Sep 1994

Spanish Music In The Twentieth Century [Book Review], Antoni Pizà

Publications and Research

North-American audiences, musicians, and musicologists remain unfamiliar with twentieth-century Spanish music. Most concertgoers identify Spanish music with the folkloristic tunes associated with such composers as Isaac Albéniz, thus construing a true "other" facing the Germanic musical tradition. The musicological canon is not only almost closed to non-European musics, but also excludes the music of some countries that since the Industrial Revolution have been deemed "peripheral," forgetting, to be sure, that five and six hundred years ago the actual periphery was all lands north of Paris. Most of us were not surprised to hear in a special session on Hispanic music …


Prostitutes In The Archives: Problems And Possibilities In Documenting The History Of Sexuality, Timothy J. Gilfoyle Jul 1994

Prostitutes In The Archives: Problems And Possibilities In Documenting The History Of Sexuality, Timothy J. Gilfoyle

History: Faculty Publications and Other Works

In the past decade, the study of sexuality has proven to be one of the most dynamic academic enterprises. Among the most popular topics has been the history of prostitution. Archivists have been invaluable but largely unsung allies in the explosive growth of a new revisionist literature. Through the preservation of long-ignored and oftendiscarded records and manuscripts, archivists provided the means enabling historians to answer many new questions, not only about prostitution but about the history of sexuality. Yet some of these sources raise provocative and controversial problems for historians and archivists documenting the history of sexuality. The author acknowledges …

Two Women On The Verge Of A Contextual Breakthrough: Using 'A Feminist Dictionary' In The Literature Classroom, Sheila Reiter, Barbara Dibernard Jun 1994

Two Women On The Verge Of A Contextual Breakthrough: Using 'A Feminist Dictionary' In The Literature Classroom, Sheila Reiter, Barbara Dibernard

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Barbara: The following dialogue relates our experiences using A Feminist Dictionary (AFD) in literature classes. My perspective is that of a feminist teacher who has found AFD to be a useful tool in bringing feminist theory and practice into alignment in the classroom. I believe it is crucial to connect the personal and the public and to connect theory and practice. One of my primary goals as a teacher is to get students to see them selves as agents who are capable of resistance and of personal and social change. In order to facilitate that, we examine hierarchy and power …
