Représentations De La Violence Révolutionnaire Dans La Littérature Et Le Cinéma Français (1928-1986), Antoine Krieger

All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)

In my dissertation, I study the constants and the variables of the representation of: mostly left-wing) militants in 20th century French literature and film. I demonstrate that they are young idealists seeking personal rejuvenation through political violence. Moreover, I show how those works are a reflection of major trends in French cultural and political history during specific time-periods such as the inter-war period, the occupation of France by Nazi Germany or the Algerian War of Independence. My theoretical approach is a "sociology of literature" influenced by the theories of Lucien Goldmann and Marc Angenot. However, I also occasionally use postcolonial …

Outcasts Of The Universe: Shyness In Hawthorne And James, Ryan Stuart Lowe

All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)

In Outcasts of the Universe, I argue that shyness is a modern dilemma, problematized by the broader shifts in American society: the expanding marketplace, the idealization of the self-made man, the rise of feminism and ever-changing gender roles, and a slow consolidation of the bachelor, the artist, and the aesthete into the stigmatized figure of the homosexual. By drawing on both the lives and works of Hawthorne and James, I theorize shyness as an alternative model of social and sexual engagement in the nineteenth century.

In particular, I adapt the queer theory concept of closetedness, a concept that has no …

‘From S.A. To L.A.’: Branding Transport And Circulating Celebrity In South Africa’S Nonhle Goes To Hollywood, Brandeise Monk-Payton

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

How do local stars navigate global itineraries? This article analyzes black South African celebrity Nonhle Thema and the (dis)continuous flow of her transnational brand. Thema’s individual star image is predicated on her work as a television personality and entertainment news journalist who traverses across global markets in order to bring external (particularly U.S.) star visibility to a South African audience. Thema’s position as a conduit for the circulation of celebrity between South Africa and the world-at-large is made more complex when she becomes the subject of this transport in her original reality series Nonhle Goes to Hollywood (2011). As the …

A Hospital For Maine: Part 1- The Rise Of Maine General Hospital, Maine Medical Center

Histories

Part One: The story of Maine Medical Center is rooted in Victorian America and owes much to the social conscience of the times. Great changes were taking place in the years preceding the construction of Maine’s first general hospital. Industrialization, European immigration, breakthroughs in medical science, new public health policies, and the Civil War formed the crucible out of which it emerged. Only 100 years before, such an institution would have been virtually unimaginable.

From The Enlightenment To Genocide: The Evolution And Devolution Of Romanian Nationalism, Shawn Wooster

McNair Scholars Journal

In the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries attempts at gaining national and political recognition through the work of Uniate priests in Transylvania and secular intellectuals in the Regat eventually culminated in the 1848 revolution, leading to the recognition of an autonomous Romanian state in 1878. Romania was further enlarged at the end of World War I with the Treaty of Trianon. Along the path to nationhood nationalism took on an ever-increasing exclusivity. Using Romania as a case study, this article addresses how nationalism occasionally becomes murderous. More specifically it addresses the origins of Romanian nationalism and how it influenced Romania’s support of …

Voices In Concert: Communication Ethnography Of Pentecostal Worship, Bruce C. Coats

Dissertations (1934 -)

We know little about communication in Pentecostal worship service outside of the practice of tongues-speech. Pentecostals uniquely interpret communicative activity as distinctive factors in their identity; yet no research identifies the unique national speech codes operating with the Pentecostal churches. This study applied decreased that knowledge gap using Philipsen's Speech Codes Theory to analyzing the structure and interpretation of Pentecostal worship services, analyzing individual congregations in relationship with local culture and situated within the national Pentecostal movement. Fisher's narrative paradigm was applied to worship services to describe the narrative of a worship service as it extended in the everyday lives …

The Prostitute As Neo-Manager: Sade's Juliette And The New Spirit Of Capitalism, Olivier M. Delers

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

In fact, Juliette's actions reveal a fundamental truth about the underlying social and economic structures of Sade's universe: the existence of two different groups, one composed of exploiters who are mobile, adaptable and connected, and the other formed by the exploited, who are condemned to a life of suffering and vagabondage. This division is also characteristic of what theorists have called 'modern network economies' and my analysis will explore the continuities between prostitution in Sade's fictional society and the nature of the post-industrial world as described by the French sociologists Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello in a recent study, Ihe …

Civil Rights And Education In Richmond, Va: A Documentary Theater Project, Laura Browder, Patricia Herrera

English Faculty Publications

Our goal was to have students spend fifteen weeks reading primary and secondary sources on the history of "massive resistance" to segregation, conducting archival research and oral history interviews, and studying examples of documentary dramas. They would then collaboratively write and produce a play based on that research. The first month of the semester focused on familiarization with the history of desegregation, integration, and resegregation in Richmond. We began with viewing The Ground Beneath Our Feet: Massive Resistance, and reading Robert A. Pratt's The Color of Their Skin: Education and Race in Richmond Virginia 1954-89 to provide a basic history …

(2012) "I Must Change My Life": A Review Of Mathew Lipman’S A Life Teaching Thinking, David K. Kennedy

Collected Papers of David Kennedy

Born in 1923 and recently deceased after a long struggle with Parkinson’s Disease, Matthew Lipman wrote this brief but detailed autobiography just before his illness made it impossible to write any more. It begins with memories of earliest childhood and his preoccupation with the possibility of being able to fly, moves through the years in which his family struggled with the effects of the Great Depression, through his service in the military during World War II, his discovery of the joy and beauty of philosophy, his quick academic rise at Columbia University, his sojourn in Paris, and his early and …

This instrument was then used to assess a variety of community attributes in case study sites. Our research expanded on the work of the case studies in community revitalization work. They considered the fiscal issues facing local governments and discuss how that may impact their current and future efforts to revitalize their community. Another element will measure the community’s level of public participation and communication. This will include ranking the …

The Creation And Destruction Of Price Cartels: An Evolutionary Theory, William Bradford

UC Law Business Journal

Why are gas stations able to charge price premiums above competitive price and how are companies arrive at identical supracompetitive price? The article describes the causes and effects of supracompetitive pricing, explains the inability of antitrust law to suppress some instances of supracompetitive pricing, establishes the importance of trust between firms as a necessary condition for supracompetitive pricing, and illustrates how the strategic exchange of information is crucial to the creation and destruction of trust and thus to the evolution and devolution of price cartels. The author develops a "positive theory" that explains and predicts the evolution and devolution of …

Observations Of Budapest Since 1992, Howard Hunter

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

My wife, Susan, and I flew into Budapest from Moscow in the summer of 1992. It was our first visit to one of the former “satellites” of the USSR, although by 1992 we had spent a good deal of time in the Soviet Union – and then Russia. My work on a joint university project in Moscow had been difficult because of the dramatic changes taking place almost daily in the early 1990s, and we were looking forward to a few days of relaxed tourism in a country that was new to us. I also was intrigued by the plans …
