The Cross-Cultural Use Of Sexually Explicit Language To Express Anger And Aggression, Deanna May Apr 1996

The Cross-Cultural Use Of Sexually Explicit Language To Express Anger And Aggression, Deanna May

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

Freud postulated that the instincts of sex and aggression are fused. One possible example of the expression of this fusion is the use of sexually explicit language to convey anger and aggression. If this usage is universal, then it may be construed as evidence for Freud's theory. The present study attempted to determine the pervasiveness of the use of sexually explicit language to express anger and aggression (SEL). Thirty-one epresentatives of languages other than American English completed questionnaires detailing the use of SEL in their native cultures. Results indicated that 28 of the respondents reported use of SEL in their …

Spenser And The Historical Revolution: Briton Moniments And The Problem Of Roman Britain, John E. Curran Jr. Apr 1996

Spenser And The Historical Revolution: Briton Moniments And The Problem Of Roman Britain, John E. Curran Jr.

English Faculty Research and Publications

Curran argues that, since Roman Britain is a key to understanding the historiographical debates of Edmund Spenser's time, the Roman Britain section of Briton Moniments in "The Faerie Queene" needs to be examined. It is here that Spenser acknowledged the direction historiography was taking, and saw how this new trend altered the relation between history and glory.

Expressions Of Oppression Or Power? Reconsidering The Texts Of Hannah Webster Foster And Tabitha Gilman Tenney, Debra Anne Akgun Apr 1996

Expressions Of Oppression Or Power? Reconsidering The Texts Of Hannah Webster Foster And Tabitha Gilman Tenney, Debra Anne Akgun

English Theses & Dissertations

Hannah Webster Foster and Tabitha Gilman Tenney were early American novelists writing in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Each author wrote a sentimental novel and a traditional conduct book. The Coquette and The Boarding School by Foster and Female Quixotism and The New Pleasing Instructor by Tenney, have scarcely been understood in relation to each other. This project attempts to view these texts as in the eighteenth-century society might have.

The introductory chapter identifies the problem with the typical feminist critical reading. It also explores many of the popular genres of literature during the eighteenth-century. Included are explorations …


An "Earthly Paradise": William Morris's Later Prose Romances, Carolyn Adele Gardner Apr 1996

An "Earthly Paradise": William Morris's Later Prose Romances, Carolyn Adele Gardner

English Theses & Dissertations

William Norris, prominent Pre-Raphaelite poet and early Socialist thinker, devoted the final six years of his life not to poetry or Socialism, but to the creation of a new literary genre, the prose romance. Following the initial publication of the later prose romances between 1890-1896, few critics have attempted to analyze Norris's last works; moreover, those who have done so, have generally either dismissed the romances as escapist fantasies or twisted the narratives of these romances in an attempt to demonstrate the presence of Marxist allegories thought to accord with Norris's Socialism. Yet Norris's later prose romances, uniting his philosophies …


What Josiah Said: Uncle Josiah's Role In Ceremony, Thomas Lynch Mar 1996

What Josiah Said: Uncle Josiah's Role In Ceremony, Thomas Lynch

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Leslie Marmon Silko's novel Ceremony is probably the most thoroughly analyzed recent work of Native American literature. Much of that analysis involves the various elements that contribute to the "ceremony" that heals the main character, Tayo, including such aspects as memory, animals, ritual, traditional stories, mythological characters, and both symbolic and literal landscapes. Critics have focused especially on the role of female figures and mythological characters such as Night Swan and Ts'eh. Such an emphasis is warranted since the roles of female and mythological characters in Laguna culture are probably the two important aspects in the story least familiar-and hence …
