Intrinsic Intertextuality:A Methodology For Analyzing The Seamless Intertext., Karen Sue Mitchell
Intrinsic Intertextuality:A Methodology For Analyzing The Seamless Intertext., Karen Sue Mitchell
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study argues for a methodology that applies contemporary theories of literature and performance to a certain kind of performance script I call a seamless intertext. Working deductively from theory to dramatic text, I explore what selected portions of extant performance and textual theory have to offer in examining, describing, and explaining these seamless intertexts. Working inductively from dramatic text to theory, I extend and offer further clarification and an extension of current theory through a more detailed explanation of the scripting explicit in each dramatic text. In the study I synthesize existing theory in intertextuality and define and describe …
Sympathy, Gender, And The Writing Of Value In Late Eighteenth Century English Letters., Lucinda Cole
Sympathy, Gender, And The Writing Of Value In Late Eighteenth Century English Letters., Lucinda Cole
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study of sympathy is best described as an historically-grounded feminist critique in response to a contemporary critical debate. Recently, "sympathy," "compassion," and "care" have been promoted by many scholars interested in positing alternatives to a clearly masculinist ethical tradition derived from Kant, Hegel, and others. Yet missing from this work is a critical examination of the ethical tradition extending from Hume's writings in the eighteenth century to Max Scheler's in our own. My major purpose within this context is to demonstrate how sympathy functions as a major term in systems of value no less male-biased than the ethics of …
"Her Excellence To Marre": The Problem Of Feminine Authority In Spenser's "Faerie Queene"., Mary Antonia Villeponteaux
"Her Excellence To Marre": The Problem Of Feminine Authority In Spenser's "Faerie Queene"., Mary Antonia Villeponteaux
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Spenser has difficulty expressing an acceptable version of his queen's authority in The Faerie Queene. He must valorize her monarchy and its power, but his uneasiness about female political authority emerges throughout the text. Like the Petrarchan poet who fictionalizes his abject devotion to his lady while he also creates and so controls her through the same fiction, Spenser praises the queen's authority while at the same time he attempts to control it and contain it in the poem. This uneasy process is exemplified in the figure of Britomart: Spenser initially presents her as the near-perfect champion of Elizabeth's signature …
British Romanticism And Composition Theory: The Traditions And Value Of Romantic Rhetoric, Sherrie L. Gradin
British Romanticism And Composition Theory: The Traditions And Value Of Romantic Rhetoric, Sherrie L. Gradin
Doctoral Dissertations
My study examines, through the philosophies and writings of the British Romantic poets, particularly those of Wordsworth and Coleridge, their beliefs about education, their theories on composing, and their interaction with the political and social climate as they relate to current expressivist rhetorical theories and pedagogies. I explore the ways in which Romantic assumptions surface in subsequent philosophers, educators, and rhetoricians such as Matthew Arnold, John Stuart Mill, and John Dewey, and more recently, Ann Berthoff, Donald Murray, and Peter Elbow. I argue that like the Romantics, current expressivists are interested in cultivating an imaginative intellect in their writing students. …
With The Flavor Of The South: The Influence Of The Southern Tradition On The Writings Of Shirley Ann Grau., Judy Ann Tarver
With The Flavor Of The South: The Influence Of The Southern Tradition On The Writings Of Shirley Ann Grau., Judy Ann Tarver
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Since before the time of the so-called Southern Renaissance of the 1920's, critics have been debating the existence and the value of a literature of the South. Although they agree on little else, most would concur that such a literature would share certain characteristics: a belief in the importance of community and the past; a tendency to prefer myth, or a perception of reality, to reality itself; a religious sensibility, especially a pervading sense of sin and guilt; an emphasis on place; and the use of elements of the Gothic. For thirty-five years Shirley Ann Grau has been writing fiction …
Claude Simon Et L'Espace Optique. [French Text]., Jean-Luc Briastre
Claude Simon Et L'Espace Optique. [French Text]., Jean-Luc Briastre
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study entails of an analysis of the visual space in certain novels of Claude Simon: La Route des Flandres, La Bataille de Pharsale, Orion aveugle, Les Corps conducteurs, Triptyque, Lecon de choses. The fragmentation of Simon's narrative makes the reader rely on the novels' imagery to establish a cohesiveness. Simon describes the formation of the image as a process akin to photographic development. For Simon, the image is, primarily, the physical impression of light particles. This first step leads to a comparison between the impressions of the form projected onto a screen (which is similar to a retina) and …
Existentialism And New England: The Poetry And Criticism Of Hayden Carruth., Anthony Jerome Robbins
Existentialism And New England: The Poetry And Criticism Of Hayden Carruth., Anthony Jerome Robbins
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Hayden Carruth (b. 1921) has reached an advanced stage in his distinguished career as a poet, critic, and editor without having received the critical attention which he deserves and which has been accorded many of his less able contemporaries. He is a thorough-going existentialist, a dyed-in-the-wool Yankee, and an anarchist. The study uses these characteristics to explore the importance of his poetry and the nature of his complex relations with his chosen traditions. The first three chapters describe and analyze Carruth's development book by book from 1959 to 1983. The fourth chapter, "Carruth's Existential Revisions of Walden," considers Carruth's response …
The Narrative Creation Of Self In The Fiction By African-American And African-Caribbean Women Writers., Jerome P. De Romanet
The Narrative Creation Of Self In The Fiction By African-American And African-Caribbean Women Writers., Jerome P. De Romanet
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study entails an examination of the works of six authors (Maya Angelou, Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor and Simone Schwarz-Bart) whose works are shaped by values and perceptions influenced by their experiences of sexual, racial and social marginalization. While I acknowledge differences in origin, beliefs and personality, I explore the common ground which unites them, and more specifically the complex ties that bind their individual "writing I" with their environment--"communitas," to use Victor Turner's term. This study is also an exploration of the modes in which these six writers create their idiosyncratic selves out of the …

"Official Science Often Lacks Humility": Humor, Science, And Technology In Levi's Storie Naturali, Ilona Klein
"Official Science Often Lacks Humility": Humor, Science, And Technology In Levi's Storie Naturali, Ilona Klein
Faculty Publications
Primo Levi's third book, written under the pseudonym of "Damiano Malabaila," was published for the first time in the fall of 1966 by Einaudi. Storie naturali is a collection of fifteen short stories which represent the beginning of a new Cours in the author's narrative. After the autobiographical Survival in Auschwitz of 1947 and his second book of 1963 The Reawakening–both dealing with the Holocaust and its aftermath–Storie Naturali ("Natural Stories," not yet published in English) represented such a break in the literary patter established by Levi up to that point, that the author decided to use a …

Primo Levi: The Drowned, The Saved, And The "Grey Zone", Ilona Klein
Faculty Publications
Primo Levi has been well known in Italy for many years. Even though his first book Se questo è un uomo–published in English as Survival in Auschwitz–did not sell well when first published by De Silva in 1947 (2,500 copies published, of which 600 remained unsold and were eventually destroyed by the 1966 flood in Florence), it was accepted unanimously in Italy as a literary masterpiece and a great witness to history when Einaudi republished the volume in 1956. From that moment on, Italian readers and critics have acknowledged the literary beauty and importance of Levi's writings. He …
Mystery, Grandeur, And Sorriness: The Sublime In Thomas Hardy's Poetry, Susan Lynn Barron
Mystery, Grandeur, And Sorriness: The Sublime In Thomas Hardy's Poetry, Susan Lynn Barron
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999
In his poetry, Thomas Hardy creates his own theory of the sublime based on the theories expounded in the eighteenth century. By questioning the miracles, mysteries, and purpose of nature, hardy creates the terror of unknowing that produces the sublime. Hardy's theory of the duality of nature, of its grandeur and its sorriness, is also a characteristic of his sublime. By uncovering the grandeur and latent beauty in disaster, death, the little things, and the ordinary, Hardy generates the pleasure needed to give sublimity to the negative. His descriptions of the sorriness of the destructive powers of winter, time, and …
