A Symbol For Transcendence : The Human Figure In The Visual Arts As A Symbol Of Psychological Wholeness As Related To The Archetype Of Divine Androgyny And The Reconciliation Of The Anima-Animus., Mason Cowell Dec 1999

A Symbol For Transcendence : The Human Figure In The Visual Arts As A Symbol Of Psychological Wholeness As Related To The Archetype Of Divine Androgyny And The Reconciliation Of The Anima-Animus., Mason Cowell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

From a Jungian perspective, this thesis investigates the ideal of androgynous transcendence by identifying the Jungian anima-animus archetype within three specific artworks produced by three differing traditions. As a result, this thesis contributes to the discipline of art history by providing a nontraditional approach to the interpretation of visual art. Although 'New Art History' is receptive to a Jungian approach in the analysis of visual art, this relatively recent and major new direction within art history does not readily embrace a Jungian understanding of the visual arts. A Jungian perspective towards the interpretation of visual art presents fascinating insights concerning …

Pre- And Post-Matriculation Correlates Of Student Retention Within A Community College Setting, Pamela E. Goodman

African-Led Slave Rebellions In The United States, Jamaica And Haiti, Joseph R. Weinzettle May 1997

African-Led Slave Rebellions In The United States, Jamaica And Haiti, Joseph R. Weinzettle

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is a visual and written portrait of some of the important African-led slave rebellions in the New World. Seven lithographs explore the environment of slavery and Africanisms in the New World. Six canvases reconstruct slave resistance from the 1730s to 1831: the Nat Turner Rebellion; the Maroon Wars of Jamaica; and the Haitian maroon revolutionaries--Makandal and Boukman. The common denominator among these rebellions was the presence of traditional West African religious beliefs. This is examined in the text and in the representation of material culture on canvas and in print. The paintings are in the manner of historical …

The structured interviews gathered data regarding attitudes, aspirations, expectations, and perceived barriers. Analyses of the data indicate that this population has strong, positive attitudes toward higher education and aspires to a college education in spite of real and perceived barriers. This study does not support …
