Innovation And Harmonization In Raphael's Stanza Della Segnatura, Nathan Cornelius
Innovation And Harmonization In Raphael's Stanza Della Segnatura, Nathan Cornelius
Library Research Prize Student Works
Raphael's paintings for the Stanza della Segnatura, Pope Julius II's personal library in the Vatican, are one of the great masterpieces of Renaissance art. My research project explored the rich meaning behind this innovative series of images, which project an expansive and holistic view of truth. I discovered that Raphael's message is relevant for Christians today who are trying to preserve a coherent view of truth in a complex, pluralistic culture.

La Concencia Mestiza Materialized: A Study Of Judith Ortiz Cofer’S Silent Dancing, Megan Frutiger
Honors Student Works
In her creative nonfiction memoir Silent Dancing: A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood, Judith Ortiz Cofer demonstrates one way of dealing with questions of bicultural identity. This creative work, Ortiz Cofer says, arose out of necessity, out of “a need to study [herself] and [her] life in retrospect; to understand what people and events formed [her]” (Cofer 11). Ortiz Cofer felt that she needed to revisit the stories of her childhood and remember the people who told them. It was listening to the stories her grandmother told “under the mango tree that [she] first began to feel the …
The Un-Human Femme Bisclavret: Monstrous Misuses Of The Disunion Between Secular And Religious Culture In Marie De France’S 'Bisclavret', Santidad Bennett
The Un-Human Femme Bisclavret: Monstrous Misuses Of The Disunion Between Secular And Religious Culture In Marie De France’S 'Bisclavret', Santidad Bennett
Honors Student Works
While much of the recent scholarship on Bisclavret has focused on its unusual treatment of the werewolf motif, the more telling character of the story is actually the wife whose abuse of language subverts the major cultural constructs of which she is a part and recasts her as the true monster of the story. Freeman notices the significance of the wife but focuses primarily on the subversion of secular courtly culture. Meanwhile, Stypczynksi and Bruckner are more interested in the religious atmosphere and tone of the short lai. While each approach is useful in its own right, this paper puts …

Remnant Motif In Amos, Micah And Zephaniah, Alison Lo
Remnant Motif In Amos, Micah And Zephaniah, Alison Lo
Seminary Faculty Publications
‘Remnant’ is one of the significant motifs in the Minor Prophets. This essay will examine the remnant motif in Amos, Micah and Zephaniah, seeking to find out the commonality of this concept between these three pre-exilic books. In order to facilitate this study, finding the remnant terminology helps us locate the remnant passages. In Amos the term תיראשׁ is used with reference to Israel, i.e. the ‘remnant of Joseph’ (Amos 5.15). It also refers to other peoples, like the remnant of the Philistines (Amos 1.8) and Edomites (Amos 9.12). The term תיראשׁ is used five times in Micah (Mic. 2.12; …
