The Fabricated Shopping Experience: An Impersonal Impression On Consumerism, Sherri Nienass

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

I have a compulsion to document my surroundings. I do this in all forms possible; through a picture text-message, a point-and-shoot camera, or through a high end camera. Like most women in contemporary society, I feel an expectation to be gorgeous. While I do not feel this pressure directly from my boyfriend or close friends, I am constantly surrounded by advertisements for beauty products enforcing the importance of being attractive. My current occupation as a cosmetic counter makeup artist relies on convincing women to enhance their appearance. I am fascinated by how easily I can persuade clients to purchase unnecessary …

The Immaculate Condemnation, Corey Robertson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

My work is a continuously evolving self portrait formulated by a combination of past experiences and influences. The Immaculate Condemnation body of work is a cathartic reaction that confronts Catholic Sin and rebels against gender conformity. As both a confirmed Catholic and transgender woman, I speak from an authentic voice that seeks open conversation regarding these topics. I also hope to demystify the transsexual body for the non-transgendered viewer. Additionally, I use allegoric imagery to communicate my interpretation of beauty, power, horror, and sex. I combine performance, photography, sculpture, video, audio, and graphic design to execute my installations. I intentionally …

Cloud Security: A Case Study In Telemedicine, Michael Johnstone

Australian eHealth Informatics and Security Conference

Security as part of requirements engineering is now seen as an essential part of systems development in several modern methodologies. Unfortunately, medical systems are one domain where security is seen as an impediment to patient care and not as an essential part of a system. Cloud computing may offer a seamless way to allow medical data to be transferred from patient to medical practitioners, whilst maintaining security requirements. This paper uses a case study to investigate the use of cloud computing in a mobile application for Parkinson Disease. It was found that functionality took precedence over security requirements and standards.

Multicultural Picture Books: Windows And Mirrors, Dawn M. Goodale

Graduate Research Papers

Multicultural children’s picture books offer readers views into far away places that can be similar or very different from that of the reader. These picture books can be used to enhance the Social Studies curriculum by offering students new perspectives on other cultures. The researcher employed the five dimensions of global perspectives developed by Robert G. Hanvey (1976) and criteria from the Iowa Core Curriculum Social Studies Standards (grades 3-5), to determine the titles that best exemplified the criteria. Review of related literature included the topics of multicultural education, multicultural literature and reader-text-relationships. The project consists of an annotated bibliography …

La Teoría De La Perspectiva Y La Transformación Del Rey De Fez En El Príncipe Constante De Calderón De La Barca Sinopsis, Dr. Ricardo Castells

12th Annual Colloquium

El príncipe constante y esclavo por su patria de Pedro Calderón de la Barca, una obra dramática de 1629, presenta la transformación política y personal de dos nobles rivales después de la fallida invasión portuguesa del norte de África de 1437. El príncipe Fernando de Portugal, llamado Infante Santo (1402-1443), llega a las costas africanas abatido por un estado melancólico debido a una premonición del desastre que le espera. Su adversario musulmán, el rey de Fez, parece ser un líder enérgico y valiente, pues al comienzo de la obra logra organizar la resistencia marroquí a los invasores portugueses, y luego—después …

Learning From Dramatized Outcomes, Peggy C. Davis, James Webb

Faculty Articles

The article discusses the importance of training exercises for law students such as the use of process drama as a tool in the classroom teaching. It informs that the process drama can be effective as it uses theatre in nontraditional and experiential ways to encourage active learning. It also informs that a process drama involving a client interview is a study of task analysis, task planning, and contingency management in task execution.

What Butler Did, Michael Plaxton

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

Sexual assault, along with the obscenity and criminal indecency provisions of the Criminal Code, is part of a family of offences directed at wrongful sexual objectification. Insofar as those offences all target pernicious forms of objectification, the ways in which each has been interpreted can reveal important things about the others. With that in mind, it is striking that the Supreme Court’s decisions in Butler and Labaye proceed on the basis that both section 163 and the offence of criminal indecency require proof that the conduct in question causes social harm. By emphasizing harm, the Court obscured the message that …

“The Play’S The Thing”: Theatre As A Scholarly Meeting Ground In Age Studies, Valerie Barnes Lipscomb

English Sarasota Manatee Campus Faculty Publications

Addressing three current critical turns in gerontology, this article proposes the theatre as a fertile ground for various theoretical angles in age studies - including the performative on and off stage, the narrative in the script and the critical questioning of age and ageism in the multiple realities of performance. Beginning from a shared site in the theatre, researchers may be able to establish greater common ground, resulting not only in multi-disciplinary efforts but also in truly interdisciplinary work. With a foundation in performance studies, this article suggests promising directions for age studies and theatre scholarship by examining three aspects …

Message from President: Few would doubt that experience carries a value, yet few would be ready to accord to experience the irrationally high esteem granted it by the various units, agencies, and boards that govern and deliver higher education in Louisiana. In an educational establishment where “retire-rehire” could almost qualify as the refrain of a top-ten tune, where retreads and reassigned old hands move from juicy appointment to juicier portfolio while youngsters scramble for bread, where middle age is all but marginalized, where “double dipping” may sometimes lead to the ejection of a Commissioner but will usually create happy prosperity …

Mediums Change, Fears Stay The Same, Lucy Wilhelms

Honors Theses

Although generally dismissed by scholars as being overly sentimental or superstitious, the gothic genre has survived for over four centuries and maintained significant cultural appeal, outlasting the sentimental novel and the travelogue as popular literature. What, then, makes this genre different? What is so special about the gothic?

In my thesis, I examine the evolving cultural appeal of the gothic genre that keeps it attractive and relevant for readers by tracing the gothic text, The Woman in Black by Susan Hill, through its initial inception and its subsequent adaptations. As a novel, The Woman in Black both repeats and revises …

Decolonizing Psychic Space: Remembering The Indigenous Psychology Movement In Taiwan, Rong-Bang Peng

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This project is part of the historical struggle of the indigenous psychology movement in Taiwan. It turns a critical gaze back upon the movement itself in order to decolonize it from colonial cultural imaginary. The contribution of this project is two-fold. First, on the theoretical level, it introduces a critical perspective into the growing body of indigenous psychological research. The indigenous psychology movement risks repeating the vicious cycle of colonization and re-colonization without critically looking back at its own historical trajectory. Second, on the level of intervention, writing the history of the indigenous psychology movement will make this project a …
