Blackting: The Inseparable Act Of Being Black And Acting: For The Magical Negro, Austin Dean Ashford
Blackting: The Inseparable Act Of Being Black And Acting: For The Magical Negro, Austin Dean Ashford
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
I am honored to present my Thesis for my M.F.A. in Theatre, in the form of a multidimensional project, drawing inspiration from the structure of Moby Dick by Herman Melville. As an undergraduate, the structure of Moby Dick intrigued me as it defies the form we call “a novel.” The book includes traditional prose, an entire play, verses of poetry, and even an essay.

POI places multiple genres of literature in conversation with each other and centers them …

On The Variations Of 'Occupatio' In "Richard Ii", William Kelly Reeder
On The Variations Of 'Occupatio' In "Richard Ii", William Kelly Reeder
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Recent scholarship of Shakespeare’s Richard II has been interested in or preoccupied with its historical relations. Particularly the plays association with the Essex Rising of 1601, and the censorship of the deposition scene, both of which seem to resonate for history with Elizabeth’s enigmatic comment expressing her identification with Shakespeare’s portrayal of Richard II.
This paper proposes to resolve the question of the play’s censorship by interpreting the deposition scene as a dramatization of transubstantiation, perhaps triggering Elizabethan censors.
