Chivalric Lieux De Memoire: Nostalgia, Communal Memory, And The Burden Of Historical Consciousness In Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, Wilkie Collins
Chivalric Lieux De Memoire: Nostalgia, Communal Memory, And The Burden Of Historical Consciousness In Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, Wilkie Collins
Wayne State University Dissertations
This dissertation attempts to position Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur as a response to the anxieties of a turbulent social period. To start, I establish the political and social climate of fifteenth-century England, drawing on the work of historians to demonstrate the disequilibrium of communal institutions, particularly during the Wars of the Roses. Utilizing the work of Johan Huizinga I argue that the troubling political atmosphere of the period in question contributes to, and is reflected in, Malory's exploration of a narrative tradition that no longer maintains an authentic continuity to the past. Drawing on Pierre Nora's theoretical opposition between …
Cracking The Book Of Mormon’S “Secret Combinations”?, Gregory L. Smith
Cracking The Book Of Mormon’S “Secret Combinations”?, Gregory L. Smith
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
The Book of Mormon has been explained by some as a product of Joseph Smith’s 19th century environment. Advocates of this thesis have argued that the phrase secret combinations is a reference to Freemasonry, and reflects Joseph’s preoccupation with this fraternity during the Book of Mormon’s composition in 1828 29. It is claimed that this phrase is rarely, if ever, used in a non Masonic context during 1828–29, and that a type of “semantic narrowing” occurred which restricted the term to Freemasonry. Past studies have found a few counter-examples, which are reviewed, but none from during the precise years of …

Traditional Medicine Usage And The Transmission Of Traditional Ecological Knowledge In Three Villages Near Phnom Kulen National Park, Kayla N. Deur
Traditional Medicine Usage And The Transmission Of Traditional Ecological Knowledge In Three Villages Near Phnom Kulen National Park, Kayla N. Deur
Environmental Studies / Environmental Science Student Scholarship
Traditional ecological knowledge refers to knowledge regarding the relationships between humans and the natural environment. This knowledge and skill set is acquired by local and indigenous peoples through generations of direct contact with the environment, and is often shared in an intergenerational pattern of verbal retelling and instruction. Traditional medicine is one component of traditional ecological knowledge, and this paper outlines the investigation of traditional medicine usage and the transmission of such knowledge in three villages near Phnom Kulen National Park in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The study was conducted through semi-structured interviews at homes that were both randomly and purposively …

Sin, History, And Liberty: Milton, Anna Letitia Barbauld, And Anne Grant In The Eighteen Hundreds, Justin Stevenson
Sin, History, And Liberty: Milton, Anna Letitia Barbauld, And Anne Grant In The Eighteen Hundreds, Justin Stevenson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
My study examines the relationship between Anna Letitia Barbauld's Eighteen Hundred and Eleven, A Poem and Anne Grant's Eighteen Hundred and Thirteen, A Poem as well as Milton's presence in both texts. I argue that Grant does not merely offer a conservative counter to Barbauld's liberal condemnation of English politics during England's military engagement with Napoleonic France; rather, Grant provides a nuanced and balanced response to Barbauld in which Grant both acknowledges the faults of England and defends England as the source of liberty. Between these two positions is Milton, a towering cultural figure in England. Milton is not only …
The Myth And The Meaning Of Science As A Vocation, Adam Liska
The Myth And The Meaning Of Science As A Vocation, Adam Liska
Adam Liska Papers
Many natural scientists of the past and the present have imagined that they pursued their activity according to its own inherent rules in a realm distinctly separate from the business world, or at least in a realm where business tended to interfere with science from time to time, but was not ultimately an essential component, ‘because one thought that in science one possessed and loved something unselfish, harmless, self-sufficient, and truly innocent, in which man’s evil impulses had no part whatever’, as Nietzsche once commented (Nietzsche 1974, p.106). With the extreme technological changes that have occurred in the last fifty …
The Possibility Of Peace: Israeli Public Opinion And The Camp David Accords, Daniel L. Gerdes
The Possibility Of Peace: Israeli Public Opinion And The Camp David Accords, Daniel L. Gerdes
Departmental Honors Projects
The Camp David Accords, September 5-17, 1978, were a momentous development in Middle East relations. For over 30 years Israel and her neighbors weathered periods of warfare and aggression, but when leaders from Egypt, Israel, and the United States descended on Camp David in the United States for two weeks of peace negotiations everything changed. Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin became the first leaders in the Middle East to negotiate peace after decades of war between the two countries. This research discerns the changes in Israeli public opinion on the peace process with Egypt that …

Who Was Sherem?, A Keith Thompson
Who Was Sherem?, A Keith Thompson
Law Papers and Journal Articles
The Book of Mormon’s first anti-Christ, Sherem, “came among” the Nephites before their first generation was ended. Because he was an eloquent believer in the Law of Moses, there has been a variety of surmise as to his background. Was he a Lamanite, or a Jaredite or Mulekite trader? Was his presence among the separated Nephites evidence of early interaction between the Nephites and other civilisations in Nephite lands from the time of their first arrival? This short article reviews the various suggestions about Sherem’s identity and suggests he was most likely a descendant of the original Lehite party but …

Sweet Tea: The British Working Class, Food Controls, And The First World War, Nicholas P. Benson
Sweet Tea: The British Working Class, Food Controls, And The First World War, Nicholas P. Benson
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
At the onset of the Great War in 1914, Britain was already existing in a precarious economic situation as the state most dependent on foreign goods and trade, a role which was exacerbated by their unique economic and political history which had resulted in the rapid expansion of industry without any interference or protections of the workers by the government. The working class comprised over 80% of the population of Britain, the vast majority of whom were suffering the destitution and poverty brought on by the unrestricted industrialization that had begun over a century earlier. The beginnings of the Great …
Mortal Reason And Divine Infinity: Justifying The Ways Of God To Men In Book Vi Of Paradise Lost, Sarah Plavcan
Mortal Reason And Divine Infinity: Justifying The Ways Of God To Men In Book Vi Of Paradise Lost, Sarah Plavcan
Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
In his epic poem, Paradise Lost, Milton’s goal was to “justify the ways of God to men” (PLI.25-26). For his seventeenth-century Protestant audience, this meant reconciling both the paradox of human free will and divine foreknowledge and the paradox of human suffering and God’s goodness. Although God’s speech in Book III makes an explicit argument declaring God’s justice, this paper will show that Book VI, the War in Heaven, completes this argument by attempting to move the poem’s readers beyond the limits of human reason into a divine understanding of the universe. Through temporal compression and confusion, created by the …

Reflections Of Urim: Hebrew Poetry Sheds Light On The Directors Interpreters Mystery, Stan Spencer
Reflections Of Urim: Hebrew Poetry Sheds Light On The Directors Interpreters Mystery, Stan Spencer
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
In the early editions of the Book of Mormon, Alma refers to the Nephite interpreters as directors. Because director(s) elsewhere refers to the brass ball that guided Lehi’s family through the wilderness, Alma’s use of the term was apparently considered a mistake, and directors was changed to interpreters for the 1920 edition of the Book of Mormon. There are reasons, however, to believe that Alma’s use of directors was intentional. I present contextual evidence that Alma was actually using the Hebrew word urim, which was later translated into English as directors (for the interpreters) and director (for the brass ball), …
Seeing Ourselves Through The Eyes Of A Friendly And Thoughtful Evangelical, Daniel C. Peterson
Seeing Ourselves Through The Eyes Of A Friendly And Thoughtful Evangelical, Daniel C. Peterson
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
Some Latter-day Saints will recall Richard Mouw from the introductory remarks that he offered in November 2004 when the Evangelical Protestant apologist Ravi Zacharias was the featured speaker at a special interfaith meeting in the Tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. In the course of his remarks, Professor Mouw apologized to Latter-day Saints for the way in which Evangelicals have often treated the Mormon faith. Carrie Moore, of the Deseret News, reported about Zacharias’s speech on 15 November 2004:
Played To The Bone: Skeletal Trauma, Assumptions Of Warfare, And An Apalachee Ballgame In Spanish La Florida, Nancy Shipley
Played To The Bone: Skeletal Trauma, Assumptions Of Warfare, And An Apalachee Ballgame In Spanish La Florida, Nancy Shipley
Theses & ETDs
In the study of violence, warfare and conflict are often seen as inherent among certain groups of people. This is especially true for colonial populations wherein the image of the snarling native is preserved so vividly from popular media. In this thesis, I attempt to combat those views by using bioarchaeology to show that trauma in the archaeological record is not always caused by warfare. In the first chapter I discuss a meaning of violence and its use in social context. In the second chapter, I present an overview of bioarchaeology in Spanish La Florida. The third chapter deals with …
The Written Collapse: A Comparative Evaluation Of The Terminal Classic Maya Collapse, Mariama Jones
The Written Collapse: A Comparative Evaluation Of The Terminal Classic Maya Collapse, Mariama Jones
Theses & ETDs
This thesis examines collapse theories of the Terminal Classic southern Maya lowland polities in the 8th and 9th centuries, with specific emphasis on Copán and Tikal. This body of work seeks to catalogue Maya collapse theories, thoroughly analyze two Maya polities and finally analyze both states through comparative study, taking special interest in the environmental and political aspects of their collapses. I have analyzed the many causes of the collapse and I have specifically examined the similarities in the collapses of Tikal and Copán, in an attempt to explain the timelines of their collapses. While there has been dissension on …
The Anglicized Cleopatra: Representations Of Female Political Power In English Dramatic Adaptations Of The Story Of Antony And Cleopatra, Sherri Rose
Theses & ETDs
This thesis examines the ways in which five English plays use the historical story of Antony and Cleopatra to deal with the anxieties surrounding the political power of female rulership and influence. Thomas North’s 1579 English translation of Plutarch’s Life of Antony established this historical story as an ethical case study about a leader who was too heavily influenced by a controlling foreign queen, a story fit to be adapted and imitated to fit an English sense of values. During the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean eras, Mary Sidney, Samuel Daniel, and William Shakespeare translated or wrote plays which attempted …
Psychodynamic Perspectives On German National Socialism, David Miller
Psychodynamic Perspectives On German National Socialism, David Miller
Theses & ETDs
This thesis synthesizes literature from the disciplines of history, German studies, philosophy, and psychoanalysis to suggest that no special breed of evil compelled individuals in German society to collectively commit acts of atrocity under the regime of the Third Reich. Rather, ordinary psychological processes that are inherent in human nature were at work to encourage the conformity of German society with the extreme ideology of National Socialism. These psychological processes were exacerbated, however, by circumstances within Germany and by the traumas of the First World War. A variety of related phenomena are discussed within the context of the Third Reich: …
A Numeric Approach To Analyzing The Properties Of Solution Changes In A Multi-Objective School Bus Routing Problem, Roberto Kao
A Numeric Approach To Analyzing The Properties Of Solution Changes In A Multi-Objective School Bus Routing Problem, Roberto Kao
Theses & ETDs
Given a collection of bus stops, each occupied by a number of students, and a fleet of school buses subject to operational constraints, the School Bus Routing Problem (SBRP) asks for the routing of buses which minimize a given objective function. It is considered to be np-hard and is a problem of enormous importance in the field of combinatorial optimization and has numerous applications in trans- portation logistics. We survey the literature relative to the SBRP and develop the machinery of linear programming in order to assess the validity of the algorithms used to solve our SBRP model. We introduce …
“Bring Home The Salmon”: Examining The Klamath Dams And The Largest Dam Removal In World History, Darcey Evans
“Bring Home The Salmon”: Examining The Klamath Dams And The Largest Dam Removal In World History, Darcey Evans
Theses & ETDs
The Klamath River, stretching between California and Oregon, has been used as an artery of life support by Native American peoples in the region for thousands of years. The river provides the tribal peoples with a connection to their creators, ancestors, and environment, and continuing into the 21st century, the subsistence, ceremonies, identities, and worldviews of the tribal peoples are deeply connected to the Klamath River and its surrounding landscape. During the 20th century, six dams were constructed on the Klamath River, causing unprecedented levels of ecological and cultural disruption. The four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River are potentially …
The Construct Of The Fantastic: Identifying Science Fiction And Fantasy And A Creative Approach To Genre Construction, Tania Russell
The Construct Of The Fantastic: Identifying Science Fiction And Fantasy And A Creative Approach To Genre Construction, Tania Russell
Theses & ETDs
The initial purpose of this thesis was to provide a definition for the genres fantasy and science fiction, and to understand the ways in which these genres differ. I discovered that it is best to view these genres as “fuzzy sets,” meaning that science fiction and fantasy exist as a spectrum of fundamental elements that are commonly manifested in literary works of either kind. In this thesis, I analyze J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and Frank Herbert’s Dune as the most successful literary examples of how the fundamental elements of science fiction and fantasy are best utilized. In my …
Rome And Pompeii Society Through Graffiti: The Role Of Sex In Society, Marie Carr
Rome And Pompeii Society Through Graffiti: The Role Of Sex In Society, Marie Carr
Theses & ETDs
This thesis examines ancient Roman and Pompeian graffiti using a sociological lens. Graffiti relating to sexual topics are translated and analyzed with aid of secondary sources. Overall these examples of graffiti offer insight into cultural norms of society that allowed more sexual freedom for men than women. Graffiti allowed for the expression of sexuality while allowing an option for anonymity as well as a medium of communication available for multiple socio-economic classes.

A copy of that performance is included on a DVD.
Travel Literature In Dialogue: Negotiated Resistance In The Colonial Encounter, Jessica Loeb
Travel Literature In Dialogue: Negotiated Resistance In The Colonial Encounter, Jessica Loeb
Theses & ETDs
This thesis examines representation and resistance in the colonial encounter through a literary analysis of the following four books: Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (1899), Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (1958), Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s Turkish Embassy Letters (1763) and Fatima Mernissi’s Dreams of Trespass: Tales of a Harem Girlhood (1995). These books are organized in chapter form in pairs, representing masculine and feminine, colonized and colonizer, Western and native, fiction and non-fiction perspectives. The literature covers a multiplicity of diverse times and places, yet all deal with similar problems, and in many ways are in dialogue with one another …
Sahara Occidental: Legal And Political Analysis Of An Ongoing Conflict, August Tupper
Sahara Occidental: Legal And Political Analysis Of An Ongoing Conflict, August Tupper
Theses & ETDs
The Sahrawi people of Western Sahara have claimed independence since Spanish decolonization in 1975. The Kingdom of Morocco has occupied the Sahrawi homeland for 40 years. Numerous peace plans have failed to bring Morocco and the Polisario Front, the Sahrawi’s negotiating body, any closer to an agreement. Immediately before Spain left the Sahara the United Nations General Assembly requested an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice. The ruling asserted the Sahrawi people’s right to selfdetermination, and required the Spanish, Moroccans, and Mauritanians to guarantee an independence referendum. No such referendum has been held. This study examines the interests …
Deconstruction At The Foot Of The Mountain: Second And Third Wave Feminist Theater As Collective And Solo Peformance, Amy Bartolotta
Deconstruction At The Foot Of The Mountain: Second And Third Wave Feminist Theater As Collective And Solo Peformance, Amy Bartolotta
Theses & ETDs
This thesis examines the notion of feminist theater in two chapters. The first chapter looks at the theater collective At the Foot of the Mountain as representative of second wave or cultural feminist theater in the United States. Through a collaborative working method and aesthetic vision informed by feminism, At the Foot of the Mountain strove to create theater as part of a uniquely “female culture.” The second chapter presents an understanding of feminist theater in response to the essentializing tendencies of cultural feminism. That is, if a collective structure represents the universalized sisterhood of cultural feminist theater, solo performance …
