Leadership Theories And Practices To Strengthen Student Activities: A Case Study Of The University Of Northern Iowa English Club, Deborah Lyn Hoepner

Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)

As a senior at the University of Northern Iowa ( UNI), my project to fulfill a segment of my Presidential Scholarship is to plan and propose a structure change for leadership within the UNI English Club. Currently, I am acting as an intern for the English Department. For my internship, I act as the student contact for the four student organizations/activities within the department: English Club, Inner Weather, Sigma Tau Delta, and The Student As Critic Conference (an annual, state wide essay competition held on campus).

The written components of my project consist of a paper dealing with a proposal …

Sweet As Muscatel, Gwenyth Hood

English Faculty Research

Although my grandfather had made his fortune in trade, I had been educated as a gentleman and at first I expected Flora society to accept me as such. After a youth spent in Paris and Vienna, I was anyone's equal in deportment. My attire, always elegant without flashiness, had elsewhere disarmed the stuffiest arbiters. So when with a lover's shyness I followed the Lady Celia into the Contessa di Filipini's salon at Flora, I was not expecting difficulties from the threadbare remnants of aristocracy which infested that small city. I took no special notice of Prospero until the night he …

Foreground And Background: Three Literary Treatments Of The Bubonic Plague, Gwenyth Hood

English Faculty Research

Though many diseases bring suffering and death, plagues strike the imagination with special awe because they threaten death to whole cities and nations. So it is not surprising that novelists have treated of plagues now and then. A visitation of bubonic plague is the central event in Daniel Defoe’s Journal of the Plague Year and Albert Camus’s The Plague. In Alessandro Manzoni’s The Betrothed, it is the culminating event, through which all the plot lines are finally resolved. Though much separates these writers, including language, culture, century. and philosophical outlook. each presents the plague accurately according to the scientific knowledge …

Medieval Love-Madness And Divine Love, Gwenyth Hood

English Faculty Research

Lovers in the Middle Ages had a tendency to go mad. In fact, they were subject to a whole range of disorders which nowadays are considered symptoms of mental illness, from pining away to outright suicide, to raging and raving madness. Of course, then as now, these manifestations of inner turmoil were not mutually exclusive. Malory's Sir Lancelot goes raging mad at one stage of his career and starves himself to death at the end of it. There are also more or less pure examples of each type: of pining away, Malory's Elaine, the fair maid of Astalot; of suicide, …

The Constitution Of Data In Linguistic Theory: Writing, Hector A. Torres

English Language and Literature Faculty Publications

As a form of language, writing bears a troubled relation to linguistic theory. For reasons both historical and theoretical, contemporary linguistic theory has been reluctant to treat the phenomenon of writing as an object of study on par with spoken language. This essay explores this troubled relation between linguistic theory and written language through the grid of deconstruction or post-structuralism. Though short, this essay will require much wandering and wondering in pursuit not so much a hypothesis but a clarification of the question: what does it mean to say that writing is not just a simple secondary object of study …

Deconstructing A Grammar: Locality, Minimality, And The Subjective, Hector A. Torres

English Language and Literature Faculty Publications

In this essay I wish to establish a theoretical and empirical ligature between generative grammar and deconstruction. How and why these two branches of knowledge should have such liaisons are of course question of tremendous historical scope. My aim is not so much to present new data but bring a certain perspective to already existing data and theory in the fields of syntax and semantics. The perspective I want to bring aligns Chomsky 's Principle of Full Interpretation with Derridean differ_nce. I take Chomsky 's Principle of Full Interpretation to be a version of the principle of identity and its …
