Oral Noetic And The Communicative Rubric In "Beowulf"., Paul David Muller Jan 1995

Oral Noetic And The Communicative Rubric In "Beowulf"., Paul David Muller

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Theoretically, this treatise is a study at the nexus of two fields: oral tradition and the philosophy of language. In application, it is a "reading" of the Anglo-Saxon epic narrative of Beowulf. It proceeds from the hypothesis that in its present, performative moment, the oral traditional narrative instantiates a moment of communicative meaning evincing characteristics of oral, thus speakerly, and thus intention-vitalized meaning, as defined by linguistic philosophers Austin, Grice, Searle, Schiffer, Strawson, and others. In the light of this theoretical perspective, the oral noetic and thus the communicative moment of the Beowulf poem is sought in its most dynamic …

Sallie Rhett Roman (1844-1921): A New Orleans Woman Writer., Nancy Dixon Jan 1995

Sallie Rhett Roman (1844-1921): A New Orleans Woman Writer., Nancy Dixon

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Roman was a New Orleans writer who contributed political editorials and works of fiction to the New Orleans Times Democrat for nearly twenty years beginning in 1891. She was a culturally-aware intellectual woman of the nineteenth century, and her works offer a clearer picture of the political, cultural, and historical post-Reconstruction South. In my extensive scholarly investigation of Roman's work, I began to realize that it was not enough to write about her life and works without making the primary texts, which are hidden away on microfilm in the rare book rooms of South Louisiana, accessible to scholars of Southern …

Looking Like What You Are: Race, Sexual Style And The Construction Of Identity., Lisa Walker Jan 1995

Looking Like What You Are: Race, Sexual Style And The Construction Of Identity., Lisa Walker

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This project explores the function of body politics in constructing minority identities, or how people's physical and stylistic attributes are invested with meanings about who they are. It is interested in how race and sexual differences are defined in the confluence of discourses around visibility and invisibility. The first two chapters set up the parameters of in/visibility with regard to sexual and racial differences in readings of two paradigmatic texts about visibility, Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness, which produces the lesbian as visible in the figure of the butch, and Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, which explores the paradoxical notion …

Another America, Another Literature: Narratives From Louisiana's Colonial Experience., Germain Joseph Bienvenu Jan 1995

Another America, Another Literature: Narratives From Louisiana's Colonial Experience., Germain Joseph Bienvenu

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation attempts to establish a literary canon for the first French period of Louisiana's colonial history (1681-1763). The study examines works by writers who heretofore have not been analyzed as colonists of long residence in the New World but as Continentals who happened to spend some time in the Americas and then wrote about their experiences. The present analysis argues that many of these authors, by virtue of the significant time they spent in Louisiana, their devotion to and interest in the promotion of the colony, and their common concerns, should be examined principally not as European literati but …

The Literary Reputation Of Else Lasker-Schüler, Kathrin M. Bower Jan 1995

The Literary Reputation Of Else Lasker-Schüler, Kathrin M. Bower

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

Calvin Jones's book is an ambitious attempt to combine synopsis and critical analysis in a survey of over ninety years of international Else Lasker-Schüler criticism. Although Hones is careful to point out that his is a selective rather than comprehensive review, he covers a considerable amount of material over the course of six chronologically organized chapters. In his preface Jones is particularly critical of early reviewers and scholars who allowed themselves to be influenced by the poet's self-representation rather than forming their own judgments and notes the tendency in much of the criticism, both past and present, to conflate the …

Mother As Muse: A Psychoanalytic Reading Of The Cathartic Works Of Kerouac, Ginsberg, And Corso, Jeffrey David Graff Jan 1995

Mother As Muse: A Psychoanalytic Reading Of The Cathartic Works Of Kerouac, Ginsberg, And Corso, Jeffrey David Graff

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

The Cold-War mother lived in an era of angst, animosity, and anxiety. The immigrant mothers of the Beats not only had to grapple with the demands of her children, but also had to take on the post-Freudian demands of their new society. This anxiety tainted her mind, her milk, and consequently her children's writing. The works of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Gregory Corso exhibit the dramatic effect that their mothers had on their life and cathartic writings. Mothers were the wellspring and crumbling foundation of these writers as well as the muse who inspired them to beatness.

When God Becomes Your Enemy- The Theology Of The Complaint Psalms, Ingvar Floysvik May 1994

When God Becomes Your Enemy- The Theology Of The Complaint Psalms, Ingvar Floysvik

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The experience of being forgotten, rejected or even attacked by God has been very real for people of all times. An untimely death in the family, prolonged sickness, unfair treatment in the community or in court, or on the larger scale, natural disasters, war and persecution, these and other catastrophes may make individuals or whole communities experience God as an enemy. Readers of the Bible recognize that income psalms the psalmists share these experiences. They complain to God that he has abandoned them or that he is angry with them. The present dissertation is an investigation into the theology of …
