The World War Ii Conferences In Washington, D.C. And Quebec City: Franklin D. Roosevelt And Winston S. Churchill, Diane K. Dewaters
The World War Ii Conferences In Washington, D.C. And Quebec City: Franklin D. Roosevelt And Winston S. Churchill, Diane K. Dewaters
History Dissertations - Archive
This dissertation seeks to show the evolution of the diplomatic relationship between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston S. Churchill from 1941-1945 based on the five conferences that were held in the Americas beginning in December of 1941. Three were held in Washington, D.C. in 1941, 1942, and 1943. Two were held in Quebec in 1943 and 1944. The relationship was a true marriage, complete with disagreements, arguments, and consensus. The meetings, however, would cement the relationship of Churchill and Roosevelt well enough for it to withstand destructive elements within and long enough for the Allies to win the war--together. The …
What Americans Said About Saxony, And What This Says About Them: Interpreting Travel Writings Of The Ticknors And Other Privileged Americans, 1800-1850, Ashley Morgan Sides
What Americans Said About Saxony, And What This Says About Them: Interpreting Travel Writings Of The Ticknors And Other Privileged Americans, 1800-1850, Ashley Morgan Sides
History Theses - Archive
In the first half of the nineteenth century, Saxony became an increasingly popular destination for American travelers. After first examining the forces behind the travel trends in order to provide historical context, this study analyzes American travelers' perceptions of Saxony as recorded in their travel writings, with particular emphasis on George and Anna Ticknor's journals from Europe. In doing so, it sheds light on aspects of Anglo-American leisure-class identity between 1800 and 1850. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, educated upper-class New Englanders had very little real knowledge of Germany and its people, and their only image of Saxony …
How Methodists Were Made: The Arminian Magazine And Spiritual Transformation In The Transatlantic World, 1778-1803, Liam Iwig-O'Byrne
How Methodists Were Made: The Arminian Magazine And Spiritual Transformation In The Transatlantic World, 1778-1803, Liam Iwig-O'Byrne
History Dissertations - Archive
This dissertation examines the spiritual autobiographies and biographies in The Arminian Magazine (later The Methodist Magazine) first published by John Wesley in 1778. The study covers such narratives through the year 1803, thus covering the transatlantic movement of early Methodism from the American Revolution up to the Napoleonic Wars. A brief background in the field of transatlantic history is provided, followed by descriptions of anthropologist Victor Turner's theory of ritual transformation and cognitive structuralist James Day's understanding of narrative strategies as frameworks for examining these narratives. Methodism's theoretical construct behind the transformations sought by Methodists, namely John Wesley's theology and …
Tracking Whiteness: Portrayals Of Whites In American Indian Literature, Mary (Peggy) M. Ruff
Tracking Whiteness: Portrayals Of Whites In American Indian Literature, Mary (Peggy) M. Ruff
English Dissertations - Archive
Although whites have pervaded the lives and literatures of American Indians since contact, their own portrayals of whites have remained, for the most part, unexplored. I examine selected works of nineteenth and twentieth-century American Indian writers to discern ways that whites are portrayed collectively and individually. The most salient categories of whites emerge early on as government officials, educators, and missionaries, those most directly engaged in the "civilizing mission." Similar categories of white characters, with the addition of white doctors, are found throughout twentieth-century American Indian fiction. Also in these works, numerous individual whites are portrayed as multidimensional, dynamic characters …

How Maps Tell The Truth By Lying, Andrew M. Balash
How Maps Tell The Truth By Lying, Andrew M. Balash
History Theses - Archive
Maps do more than simply record geographical locations: maps link locations to the past and present, and even propose future possibilities. Maps graphically display information (or data) that is at once geographic, economic, political, social, scientific, and religious and they can be a starting point for the study of past cultures. Through careful analysis, including the conscious and subconscious selections of map-makers, maps reveal a perception of the world that is as fascinating as it is complex. This is the subjective vision of the world buried beneath the seemingly "objective" façade of the map--the hidden story that the cartographer did …
Negotiated Authorship: A Rhetorical Analysis Of Professional Writer Job Postings, Jill Dickerson
Negotiated Authorship: A Rhetorical Analysis Of Professional Writer Job Postings, Jill Dickerson
English Theses - Archive
This qualitative study (a rhetorical/discourse analysis) explores the genre of job postings, particularly postings for writing-related jobs in the financial services sector, to determine how words like "author" and "writer" are used in the discourse community of a financial corporation (a pseudo-scientific "data"-driven organization). If one assumes there is a power struggle between the creative authorship (authority) of the Writer (Author) and the ideological authority of the Corporation, how does the Corporation negotiate with a consenting, potential employee/Writer? The space for this negotiation begins in the job posting.
Opinions In Context: Reconsidering Endoxa In Aristotle's On Rhetoric, Kyle Simpler
Opinions In Context: Reconsidering Endoxa In Aristotle's On Rhetoric, Kyle Simpler
English Theses - Archive
In On Rhetoric, Aristotle describes rhetoric as an ability of seeing the available means of persuasion. Rather than suggesting that rhetoric is persuasive discourse, Aristotle presents it as a skill one utilizes to assess the situation at hand in order to discover what might prove persuasive. Much of this potentially persuasive material comes from opinions; however, Aristotle's presentation of opinion in On Rhetoric shows a clear departure from those offered by his predecessors such as Plato and Gorgias. Rather than considering general opinion (doxa), as did the earlier Greeks thinkers, Aristotle concentrates primarily on reputable opinions (endoxa) pertaining to the …

Duality And The Problem Of Moral Self-Awareness In Dostoevsky's Dvoinik (The Double), Lonny Harrison
Duality And The Problem Of Moral Self-Awareness In Dostoevsky's Dvoinik (The Double), Lonny Harrison
Modern Languages Faculty Publications - Archive
This dissertation investigates the problem of duality as it relates to the moral situation of the protagonist of F. M. Dostoevsky's novella Dvoinik (The Double, 1846). Bearing the cultural and literary heritage as well as contemporary social realities of mid-nineteenth century Russia steadily in mind, I analyse the duality motif in Dvoinik in terms of the protagonist's self-consciousness [samosoznanie] and moral perceptions. In particular, the moral ideas that underpin his self-definitions are products of what I refer to as moral selfawareness. In the course of my analysis, I interrogate the modulations of moral reasoning in the mind of the protagonist …
Texas And The Good Roads Movement: 1895 To 1948, Karl E. Wallace
Texas And The Good Roads Movement: 1895 To 1948, Karl E. Wallace
History Theses - Archive
The Good Roads Movement in America grew directly out of concerns over the debilitating effects of rural isolation. However, as each state faced its own unique challenges to the building and maintenance of roads, the early movement reflected broad regional differences. In Texas, the breadth of its borders, the scattered and uneven distribution of its population, and numerous historically rooted prejudices towards the proper role of government defined its differences. Even after the need for good roads had become undeniable, and roads advocacy was galvanized into a national movement, the social and political divisions that existed within Texas would prevent …
On Their Own?: Mexican Immigrants' Assistance By Government, Ngos, And Self-Help At Times Of Natural Disaster In Wimauma, Florida, Nancy Raylene Scott
On Their Own?: Mexican Immigrants' Assistance By Government, Ngos, And Self-Help At Times Of Natural Disaster In Wimauma, Florida, Nancy Raylene Scott
Philosophy & Humanities Theses - Archive
During the 2004 hurricane season, four successive storms struck Central Florida causing catastrophic damage to crops and displacing close to 195,000 migrant and seasonal workers. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this thesis examines how government agencies and NGOs respond to such natural disasters by reaching out to Latino immigrant workers and families in Wimauma, Florida, and the diverse ways in which the immigrant community itself organized to confront the needs and problems brought about by these disasters. I pay particular attention to the role of Mexican immigrants’ kinship and social networks in developing adaptive strategies during times of stress and to …

Reluctant Restorationist: Thomas Campbell's Trial And Its Role In His Legacy, Charles Franklin Brazell
Reluctant Restorationist: Thomas Campbell's Trial And Its Role In His Legacy, Charles Franklin Brazell
History Dissertations - Archive
In 1809, Thomas Campbell, with his son Alexander, founded an American religious movement that proposed the union of all Christians based upon the restoration of the New Testament church. The merging of this movement in 1832 with that of Barton W. Stone resulted in the formation of the Stone-Campbell Movement - a movement whose ideas for Christian unity were expressed by Thomas Campbell in his Declaration and Address, and which had the fundamental objective of achieving Christian unity based upon the teachings of the New Testament. Today, the Stone-Campbell Movement consists of three major American Protestant religious groups. The Christian …
They Don't Sing Like They Used To : Negro Soldier's Resistance To Jim Crow In 1898, Earl Ray Levingston
They Don't Sing Like They Used To : Negro Soldier's Resistance To Jim Crow In 1898, Earl Ray Levingston
History Theses - Archive
By the turn of the twentieth century, Negro troops began to resist Jim Crow laws in an organized way. While some historians have mentioned these racially motivated disturbances, many have failed to seriously analyze and assess these clashes, which has led to the neglect of an important source of African-American resistance to racial discrimination in the post Reconstruction era. The purpose of this thesis is to address that failure. By briefly examining the evolution of Jim Crow policies at the turn of the century, by demonstrating how blacks struggled to serve in the U. S. army from 1673- 1868, by …
Kiowa Changes: The Impact Of Transatlantic Influences, Paul James Moore
Kiowa Changes: The Impact Of Transatlantic Influences, Paul James Moore
History Dissertations - Archive
This study uses a transatlantic interpretive framework, addressing both Euro-American and Kiowa voices to understand Kiowa reactions to changes caused by ongoing transatlantic influences. From their Paleolithic days, the Kiowas faced the challenge of new ways. On the North American continent, they evolved into small hunter-gathering family units as vast grasslands arose from their fire-drives that increasingly reshaped their surroundings. The transatlantic Columbian Exchange, following Spanish discovery, provoked massive changes to Kiowa material culture as the horse produced a cultural revolution to their social and economic practices. Those changes required continued raiding for horses between 1830 and 1874 that exacerbated …

Overcoming Triple Oppression: Identity, Power, And Feminism Among Women Of Mexican Ancestry In Texas, 1960-1980, Stephanie Kay Schacherer
History Theses - Archive
The Mexican American civil rights movement surfaced in the 1960s and 1970s as a direct response to blatant institutional discrimination and neglect. The participation of women within the movement, however, has been overwhelmingly marginalized in favor of a largely male-dominated interpretation. Indeed, Mexican American women in Texas displayed a variety of perspectives about religious and ethnic identity, feminism, and politics during this time. Drawing on their own rich heritage and mutual experiences with discrimination based on race, gender, and class, these women nevertheless developed conflicting ideas about the abovementioned topics. How each woman fashioned her own environment according to her …

Reinventing The Self: Native American Women's Autobiographies, Kristin Lynn Rozzell
Reinventing The Self: Native American Women's Autobiographies, Kristin Lynn Rozzell
English Dissertations - Archive
Native American women's autobiographies are complex writings that stretch the very genre itself. As the genre of autobiography is reinvented by both early and contemporary texts, the nature of self expression through that genre is also reinvented. With Leslie Marmon Silko's inventive 1981 autobiography Storyteller as the guide post for what an autobiography can be, I examine other autobiographies by Native American women that come before and after this work, naming some works autobiographies for the first time. Naming a work an autobiography gives credence to the autobiographer's chosen means of writing her life. Native American women reveal who they …
Frantic Fathers And Misplaced Mothers: Hegemonic Patriarchal Reinforcement Of The Traditional Family In American Film, Teriann Gaston Blaisdell
Frantic Fathers And Misplaced Mothers: Hegemonic Patriarchal Reinforcement Of The Traditional Family In American Film, Teriann Gaston Blaisdell
English Dissertations - Archive
Movies play an integral part in the formation of cultural identity and therefore should be subject to critical examination. This study examines the roles of mothers and fathers in films by looking at several basic techniques used to reinforce patriarchy. The focus will be an examination of post-1990s Hollywood film with relevant background information coming from earlier Hollywood films. Films which ridicule fathers who try to take on traditional female roles are first examined. In these films it is necessary for a woman to come in and rescue the man by embracing the role she was "intended" for. Another popular …

Teaching Social Influence: Resources And Exercises From The Field Of Communication, John S. Seiter, R. H. Gass
Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications
Effective teachers know that when students are engaged in active learning, they learn more, retain it longer, apply it better, and continue to learn (Weimer, 1993). One way to promote such learning is through the use of innovative classroom activities that lead students to understand, interpret, and/or apply information. In that spirit, educators in the field of communication have developed an array of activities and demonstrations for promoting active learning in students of social influence. To facilitate the use of such activities, this article uses an annotated bibliography format to review over 30 published articles designed by communication teachers to …
