Finding Sylvia: A Journey To Uncover The Woman Within Plath's Confessional Poetry, Emily Daly Oct 2017

Finding Sylvia: A Journey To Uncover The Woman Within Plath's Confessional Poetry, Emily Daly

Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects

"Finding Sylvia: A Journey to Uncover the Woman Within Plath's Confessional Poetry" focuses on investigating the relationship between Sylvia Plath's personal life and her confessional poetry. The paper explores and comments on how Plath's confessional and personal poetry both differ from and align with the writing in her letters, novel, and journals. It seeks to comment on how confessional poetry should be viewed by the reader, and how confessional poetry can be an expression of truth while also being a form of writing that heavily depends on creativity. It discusses the many theories surrounding readings of Plath, and argues that …


Solomon Northup’S Singing Book, Lara Langer Cohen Oct 2017

Solomon Northup’S Singing Book, Lara Langer Cohen

English Literature Faculty Works

This essay examines the musical score included at the end of Solomon Northup’s Twelve Years a Slave (1853), a setting of a song called “Roaring River” that Northup earlier recounted enslaved people singing as they patted juba. I argue that “Roaring River” stages questions that the narrative itself cannot ask about how to represent the experience of slavery once one is outside of it. In particular, it asks how to love what’s made in the shadow of slavery—the intimacies forged, and especially the music borne of them.

Individualized Teaching In Composition: Finding Answers To Access In Speech-Language Pathology, Robin Everett Sep 2017

Individualized Teaching In Composition: Finding Answers To Access In Speech-Language Pathology, Robin Everett

Student Theses and Dissertations

Accessibility in Composition has been an obstacle and topic of discussion at the forefront of Composition studies for some time. Looking through the lens of my past profession, Speech-Language Pathology, I discovered individualization may be the answer to the problem of access. Implementing elements of individualization into Composition can provide opportunities for students to reflect on and practice awareness in their writing to yield higher retention and improvement. Individualization means getting to know students, their needs, and strengths in order to craft a class that is tailored to that class’s specific set of students. This study delves into the connections …

Involute Analysis: Virtual Discourse, Memory Systems And Archive In The Involutes Of Thomas De Quincey, Kimberley A. Garcia Sep 2017

Involute Analysis: Virtual Discourse, Memory Systems And Archive In The Involutes Of Thomas De Quincey, Kimberley A. Garcia

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Thomas De Quincey’s involutes inform metaphysical thought on memory and language, particularly concerning multiplicity and the virtual, repetition and difference. When co-opting the mathematic and mechanic involute in Suspiria de Profundis, De Quincey generates an interdisciplinary matrix for the semiotics underpinning his philosophy of language and theory of memory and experience. Involutes entangle and reproduce. De Quincey’s involute exposes the concrete and actual through which all experience accesses the abstract or virtual. The materiality of their informatics and technics provides a literary model and theoretical precursor to a combination of archive and systems theory. The textuality of involute system(s)—both …


Ecologies Of Embodied Minds Embedded: Radical Romantic Perspectives On Architectures Of Technology, Sharmaine Browne Sep 2017

Ecologies Of Embodied Minds Embedded: Radical Romantic Perspectives On Architectures Of Technology, Sharmaine Browne

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation explores Romantic responses to the role of architectural technologies in the development of material being, consciousness, and culture by applying a critical approach in which I combine radical embodied cognitive theory, ecocritical perspectives, and a phenomenological lens to select Romantic texts written from 1789 to 1884 in response to industrial modernity. While scholarship has thoroughly explored technology as a cultural force which inevitably shapes consciousness, I propose that a slight shift of emphasis from technology’s external influence to the material internalization of its influence allows for new perspectives—particularly in light of recent proposals in cognitive philosophy which assert …

Text In The Natural World: Topics Of Evolutionary Theory Of Literature, Laurence A. Gregorio Aug 2017

Text In The Natural World: Topics Of Evolutionary Theory Of Literature, Laurence A. Gregorio

Gettysburg College Faculty Books

The study of literature has expanded to include an evolutionary perspective. Its premise is that the literary text and literature as an overarching institution came into existence as a product of the same evolutionary process that gave rise to the human species. In this view, literature is an evolutionary adaptation that functions as any other adaptation does, as a means of enhancing survivability and also promoting benefits for the individual and society. Text in the Natural World is an introduction to the theory and a survey of topics pertinent to the evolutionary view of literature. After a polemical, prefatory chapter …
