James Joyce And Rolando Hinojosa: Artists In A Colonial Milieu, John Clark Owen

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

This study puts James Joyce's Dubliners and Rolando Hinojosa's The Valley in a common context and shows how colonialism impacts the lives of the archetypal protagonists as they move from childhood through adolescence and into mature adulthood. This reveals not only the destructive nature of colonialism that so concerns Joyce and Hinojosa but also shows clearly how cooperation of the church, the colonizer, and of some of the colonized makes the imposition of a colonial culture possible. In light of findings from the study, a new reading of "Eveline" is offered.

After establishment of a common historical background, the focus …

Mapping And Quilting: Metaphors Of Montana, Sunni Brown

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Although the study of place-writing may be a relatively new voice in the conversation of literary analysis, it is not without significance. Eudora Welty believes that place-writing is not new in and of itself: "From the dawn of man's imagination, place has enshrined the spirit; as soon as man stopped wandering and stood still and looked about him, he found a god in that place; and from then on, that was where the god abided and spoke from if he ever spoke" (123). Welty suggests that the process of connecting oneself to a particular place is innate in all humankind. …

Review Of Paul C. Gutjahr, An American Bible: A History Of The Good Book In The United States, 1777-1880, Susanna Ashton

Publications

The introductory note encapsulates the premise and problems with which An American Bible: A History of the Good Book in the United States, 1777-1880 grapples. Gutjahr writes: "The Bible is a unique book in Western Culture, reflected by the frequent capitalization of the word Bible in general usage. I differ slightly from this practice - by capitalizing the word Bible only when I refer to the work itself, but not when I speak of Bibles collectively" (xiii).

Biblical Assyria And Other Anxieties In The British Empire, Steven W. Holloway

Libraries

The successful “invasion” of ancient Mesopotamia by explorers in the pay of the British Museum Trustees resulted in best-selling publications, a treasure-trove of Assyrian antiquities for display purposes and scholarly excavation, and a remarkable boost to the quest for confirmation of the literal truth of the Bible. The public registered its delight with the findings through the turnstyle- twirling appeal of the British Museum exhibits, and a series of appropriations of Assyrian art motifs and narratives in popular culture - jewelry, bookends, clocks, fine arts, theater productions, and a walk-through Assyrian palace among other period mansions at the Sydenham Crystal …

Introduction To The Great Gatsby (Wordsworth Editions), Guy J. Reynolds

Department of English: Faculty Publications

The 'constant flicker' of the American scene

Why is The Great Gatsby such a quintessential twentieth-century novel? After mixed reviews and a slow start in sales, Fitzgerald's 1925 novel has moved to the centre of literary history, to the extent that to many readers this is the modern American novel. Gatsby is widely loved, and has achieved the unusual status of appealing to both that mythical creature the 'Common Reader' and an academic audience. The novel's stature has increased exponentially with age, and it is probably regarded with more fondness and read with greater critical sophistication today than in the …

Constructing The Criollo Archive: Subjects Of Knowledge In The Bibliotheca Mexicana And The Rusticatio Mexicana, Antony Higgins

Purdue University Press Books

This book constitutes an attempt to theorize the process of the emergence, in eighteenth-century New Spain, of a position of intellectual subjectivity differentiated from that established by the regime of Spanish imperial authority. The principal concern has been to trace how certain groups of Criollo intellectuals try to construct such discourses, paradoxically, out of the framework of available European systems of knowledge and representation. In this fashion, it was sought to discern the outline of an ideological program for Criollo political and cultural hegemony in the eighteenth-century.

Welcome to Mythcon XXXI, situated in the heart of Hawai'i's version of "The Cracks of Doom. " It comes complete with the grayness and the mists, the blasted earth, and a belly full of hot lava-a power even Gandalf couldn't control. But while Frodo a·nd Sam toiled we will celebrate, while their spirits dropped our spirits will rise, and while they were alone we will share together. The most powerful word in Hawai 'i is Aloha. It encompasses a generosity of spirit, and a love of the land, and people. This is what we hope you will find here. You …

If Only I Knew: The Stranger In The Twentieth-Century Short Story., Ryan S. Otto

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study is divided into two major parts.

The second provides five original works of fiction that represent my understanding of the genre. Observations in the first section fall into three basic categories: "The Mysterious Stranger: Character," "The Tough Guy: Conflict," and "The Nature of Knowing: Theme." "The Character in Transition" chapter relates my observations in the critical study to the structure …

Collaborating Toward Intellectual Practice: Re-Imagining Service In English Studies, Amy M. Goodburn, Joy Ritchie

Department of English: Faculty Publications

This essay chronicles the story of our collaborations as scholars, teachers, colleagues, friends, and co-coordinators of the first-year writing program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. We believe our narrative can lead to an expanded vision of service in the profession by illuminating how ongoing discussions about collaboration can help us construct and imagine service as intellectual work. As two faculty members (one assistant and one associate professor) responsible for collaboratively coordinating a first-year-writing program, we hope to question what it means to do administrative service collaboratively, to examine this hydra-headed authority that we wield and attempt to implement within our …

The Power Of Perception And Origin Myth: Reconsidering The Origins Of The Arthurian Legend, Rae Marie Marotta '00

Honors Projects

Ashe insists that the link between Riothamus and Arthur lies within the writings of Jordanes, a Gothic historian; Gregory of Tours, a Frankish historian; Sidonius Apollinaris, a Gallo-Roman author; and William, author of the Legenda Sancti Groeznovii (Lacy and Ashe 47; Ashe, "Ancient" 310-11; Ashe, Discovery 54-57). In the mid sixth century, Jordanes wrote the Gothic History, where he explained that the Britons answered the Roman Emperor Anthemius' request for aid when confronted with a Gothic threat in Gaul. However," Euric, King of the Visigoths, came against them with an innumerable army, and after a long fight he routed Riotimus, …

Representations Of Class, Social Realism And Region In "Eleven Months In Bunbury" By James Ricks, Joshua J. K. Ledger

Theses : Honours

The aim of this thesis is to explore representations of class, social realism and region in Eleven months in Bunbury by James Ricks. This novel stands outside dominant literary theory in its representations of class, realism and regionalism. It also presents opportunities to consider ideology and class through the eyes of a working class person, in the language of the class that it depicts. Thus it speaks to a class which rarely has its point of view and lives represented in conventional literature. It is therefore a useful literary and social document.
