Performing The Possibility Of Difference: Analyzing Race, Movement, And Performance In The Work Of Pearl Primus And Ira Aldridge, Eugenia Hayley Titterington Jan 2019

Performing The Possibility Of Difference: Analyzing Race, Movement, And Performance In The Work Of Pearl Primus And Ira Aldridge, Eugenia Hayley Titterington

Theses & ETDs

The medium of performance is a valuable means for engaging racial dialogue since its liveness draws attention to the performing body, allowing us to negotiate what social meanings culture has invested in bodies. However, attention to topics of race and racism in Western theatre has historically avoided confronting intersubjective dialogues about race in favor of objectifying otherized racial identities, most notably performances of blackness, to reaffirm White racial dominance. Black artists have historically worked to resist this by reframing the performance as a site of opposition. This study uses this point of tension to study the ways physicality in dance …

Population Growth And Development In Miami, Tampa, And Orlando From 1920 To 1975, Alex Sommers

Theses & ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to identify the main reasons for Florida’s population growth by looking at the most populous cities, Miami, Tampa, and Orlando from 1920 to 1975. Focusing on each city is similar to a case study. The main reasons for the growth are World War II & the New Deal, advertising & tourism, and transportation networks. The lesser reasons are DDT, universities, and Cuban refugees. The New Deal initiated work programs that stabilized the economy and social security helped people retire. World War II brought the economy back from the Great Depression and partially built the …


Postmodern Tiresias: Transformed Prophet For Transforming Times, Alphonse Shiver Jan 2019

Postmodern Tiresias: Transformed Prophet For Transforming Times, Alphonse Shiver

Theses & ETDs

The primary goal of this piece is to establish the figure of Tiresias as a character that has made a profound impact on artistic and literary minds over the course of millennia. It aims to draw parallels between the anxieties of particular time periods and the anxieties embodied by the character of Tiresias himself, proving his existence as a reflection of proto-transgender attitudes in Ancient Greece, demonstrating how these attitudes have carried into works including Tiresias in both the twentieth and twenty-first century while postulating the ways in which the character could be utilized by poets, playwrights, and musicians alike …


"The Forward March Of Humanity" In An Era Of Change: Creative Works With Progressive Ideas And Their Impact On Late Nineteenth And Early Twentieth Century European Society, Alexander Koutelias Jan 2019

"The Forward March Of Humanity" In An Era Of Change: Creative Works With Progressive Ideas And Their Impact On Late Nineteenth And Early Twentieth Century European Society, Alexander Koutelias

Theses & ETDs

This thesis analyzes the impact on European society of three creative works that contain progressive political ideas in the era prior to the Great War. The works studied were the French opera Don Carlos by Giuseppe Verdi (1867), the Austrian novel Lay Down Your Arms! by Bertha von Suttner (1889), and the German etching series A Weavers’ Revolt (1898) by Käthe Kollwitz. Additionally, it considers the impact of each work in its international historical context. Furthermore, it examines how the formal elements of each medium reinforce the accessibility and comprehension of the progressive political idea in each work. Finally, it …

In The Company Of Citizens: The Rhetorical Contours Of Singapore's Neoliberalism, Rohini S. Singh Jan 2019

In The Company Of Citizens: The Rhetorical Contours Of Singapore's Neoliberalism, Rohini S. Singh

All Faculty Articles

This essay explores how the language and priorities of the corporate world seep into the halls of government, and the ensuing implications of such rhetoric. Situating my analysis in Singapore's National Day Rally addresses from 1960 to 2018, I uncover two rhetorical signatures unique to Singaporean neoliberalism: the location of national character in economic performance, and the act of packaging and selling the nation to its people. I conclude by examining the implications of a corporate constitution of the nation for evoking affective ties to the nation, and by considering the value of Singapore's case to broader critiques of neoliberalism.

Semantic Bias As An Application Of The Universal Grammar Model In The Russian Language, Iryna Gural Jan 2019

Semantic Bias As An Application Of The Universal Grammar Model In The Russian Language, Iryna Gural

Honors Undergraduate Theses

The theory of the Universal Grammar developed by Chomsky has been known for many years. The main idea behind the theory was that the processing of the language does not depend on the culture but it universal among all the languages. Further psycholinguistic studies developed the ideas about schematic comprehension of the language, giving rise to the idea of the "garden path effect". Research focused on the processing of the ambiguous sentences and found the tendency for readers to prefer interpretations of specific sentence areas as objects. The current study summarizes the ideas of psycholinguistic study and incorporates a novel …


A Matter Of Life And Def: Poetic Knowledge And The Organic Intellectuals In Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry, Anthony Blacksher Jan 2019

A Matter Of Life And Def: Poetic Knowledge And The Organic Intellectuals In Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry, Anthony Blacksher

CGU Theses & Dissertations

This dissertation unpacks the poetry, performances, and the production of Def Poetry Jam to explore how a performative art embodied and confronted racial discourses, including stereotypes and also, addressed the racism, patriotism, and imperialist discourses that circulated after 9/11. Def Poetry Jam contributes to the intellectual capacity of spoken word and performance poetry, and poets as intellectuals, where poets produce and disseminate knowledge, ideas, and data, in the form of narratives, that contribute to critical consciousness. The effectiveness of the series lay in the consistent blurring of entertainment, knowledge, anti-capitalism, and capitalism. This research demonstrates how Def Poetry Jam provided …

A Matter Of Life And Def: Poetic Knowledge And The Organic Intellectuals In Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry, Anthony Sean Blacksher

CGU Theses & Dissertations

In December of 2001, Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry (Def Poetry Jam) turned HBO viewers into audience members of a televised poetry reading, featuring spoken word and performance poetry. Over six seasons, actors, rappers, comedians, and the host, Mos Def, joined poets in a unique representation of counter-public open mic poetry readings and poetry slams. This dissertation unpacks the poetry, performances, and the production of Def Poetry Jam to explore how a performative art embodied and confronted racial discourses, including stereotypes and also, addressed the racism, patriotism, and imperialist discourses that circulated after 9/11.

Education Through Athletics: Interest In An Athletics Performance Curriculum, Harry Molly, Erianne A. Weight Jan 2019

Education Through Athletics: Interest In An Athletics Performance Curriculum, Harry Molly, Erianne A. Weight

Journal of Applied Sport Management

Intellectual and life-skill benefits of collegiate athletics participation have been doc-umented in empirical research, yet athletics-centric curricula are traditionally not offered for academic credit in higher education. This pilot study employed a survey, distributed to FBS Division I college varsity athletes, coaches, athletics administra-tors, and faculty from three Atlantic Coast Conference institutions, to explore the interest in an athletics performance minor through the lens of the Integrated View of intercollegiate athletics. The results demonstrate a moderate interest in an ath-letics performance curriculum, with 66% of those surveyed voicing support. Those most supportive were varsity athletes and coaches, while faculty were …

Regionally Interdependent Applications Of Total Motion Release® And Active Rotational Shoulder Range Of Motion In Overhead Athletes, R. Ross Dexter, Terylan K. Loftis, Russell T. Baker, Timothy E. Speicher Jan 2019

Regionally Interdependent Applications Of Total Motion Release® And Active Rotational Shoulder Range Of Motion In Overhead Athletes, R. Ross Dexter, Terylan K. Loftis, Russell T. Baker, Timothy E. Speicher

Clinical Practice in Athletic Training

Healthy athletes commonly engage in pre-participation warm-up strategies designed to physiologically and mechanically prepare the body for training and competition. Alterations in rotational range of motion (ROM) of the dominant shoulder in overhead athletes, resulting in total rotation ROM loss, correlate with performance deficit, injury risk, and lost training time. Researchers have suggested that interventions using Total Motion Release® (TMR®) increase shoulder ROM more effectively than traditional warm-up methods. A randomized pre-test post-test trial was used to explore the effects of a regionally interdependent application of TMR® via a forward flexed trunk twist (FFTT) and seated straight leg raise (SLR) …
