Past And Future Winds, Alicia Ehni
Past And Future Winds, Alicia Ehni
Theses and Dissertations
Ehni’s thesis reflects on the role of wind to connect and transform. Looking at science and invisible forces like Earth’s magnetic field, her "Oculus" sculptures evoke old tools for orientation & migration. Birds, insects, plants, roads and sand, appear in a video and an experimental 16mm pinhole film of her bike journey along the Hudson River, NY. “Coordinates”, a magnetic drawing installation, addresses impermanence, attraction to land and fragility. Tracing memories of the Paracas desert in Peru, this thesis follows her interest in alchemy, ecology and the cosmos.

Despite extensive documentation of their pro-Black action, the work of these Italian-Americans has remained hidden.

"This Unshakable Dandy": The Life And Work Of Heinrich Maria Davringhausen (1894–1970), Jacob M. Robinson
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is a monographic study of Heinrich Maria Davringhausen (1894–1970), an artist best-known for his contributions to the art of interwar Germany—and the political and historical contexts of his time. It examines his pre-1918 emergence as an avant-garde artist, asserts a more prominent place for his role in the development of German Post-Expressionism (commonly known as Neue Sachlichkeit or Magic Realism), and broadly overviews the increasingly abstract paintings he produced after fleeing Germany in early 1933, eventually settling in the South of France as Henri Davring.

Édouard Manet’S Defense Of Modernity: Recontextualizing The Cat In Olympia, Rebecca Schiffman
Theses and Dissertations
The black cat in Édouard Manet’s seminal painting, Olympia, has often been relegated as a crude joke or symbol of reprehensible sexuality.

The album serves as an amalgamation of the most present themes during that point in his career: the musical, the spectacle, the spiritual, and the political. Through a track-by-track analysis of the album, we can better understand Baraka's social outlook at such a pivotal period in the Black culture visionary's career.

Stages: Social Dance Forms As Catalyst For Recovery, R. Austin Marquez
Stages: Social Dance Forms As Catalyst For Recovery, R. Austin Marquez
Theses and Dissertations
Dances originating in social settings have served as catalysts for community building, liberation, and healing for decades. Hip hop, house, krumping, voguing, and other forms of dance have empowered communities in their struggle against oppressive forces and have subsequently become influential in media based popular culture. This research explores how social dance forms promoting empowerment are popularized through mediated culture and how this process informed the creation of Austin Marquez's MFA thesis, "STAGES.""STAGES" is an interdisciplinary performance that integrates Marquez's album and choreography to explore his recovery from alcoholism. This study investigates how choreographing narratives of recovery using social dance …

Chaucer’S Contradictory Representations Of Fourteenth Century Knighthood In The Canterbury Tales, Nicholas Cabrera
Theses and Dissertations
Differences in interpretation have long dominated scholarship regarding knighthood in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.

Chaucer’s depiction of knighthood represents the institution as filled with tensions and contradictions.
Papering Over Colonial Legacies: Chinoiserie, Chinese Wallpaper, And Exotic Obfuscation At Harewood House, Carolyn J. Bishop
Papering Over Colonial Legacies: Chinoiserie, Chinese Wallpaper, And Exotic Obfuscation At Harewood House, Carolyn J. Bishop
Theses and Dissertations
Harewood House is an estate emblematic of eighteenth-century evolutions in aesthetic philosophy, capital flows and social dynamics in the British empire. Built by the Lascelles family, it embraces an eclectic neoclassical decorative style that includes chinoiserie. This thesis argues that this exoticizing decorative strategy, and particularly its Chinese wallpaper – as both fine art and consumer good – translated the Lascelles' fortune, amassed through colonial exploits in the Caribbean, into advancement through domestic British hierarchies.
