'Our Feet Are Mired In The Same Soil': Deepening Democracy With The Political Virtue Of Sympathetic Inquiry, Jennifer Lynn Kiefer Fenton Apr 2019

'Our Feet Are Mired In The Same Soil': Deepening Democracy With The Political Virtue Of Sympathetic Inquiry, Jennifer Lynn Kiefer Fenton

Dissertations (1934 -)

This dissertation puts American philosophers and social reformers, Jane Addams (1860-1935) and John Dewey (1859-1952), in conversation with contemporary social and political philosopher, Iris Marion Young (1949-2006), to argue that an account of deliberative equality must make conceptual space to name the problem of ‘communicatively structured deliberative inequality’. I argue that in order for participatory democracy theory to imagine and construct genuinely inclusive deliberative spaces, it must be grounded in a relational ontology and pragmatist feminist social epistemology. The literature has largely developed deliberative inequality in terms of access (e.g., participation costs) and ‘impoverished capacities’ for political participation (e.g., political-process …


Humor, Power And Culture: A New Theory On The Experience And Ethics Of Humor, Jennifer Marra Apr 2019

Humor, Power And Culture: A New Theory On The Experience And Ethics Of Humor, Jennifer Marra

Dissertations (1934 -)

The aim of this dissertation is to offer a new theory of humor that takes seriously both the universality and power of humor in culture. In the first chapter, I summarize historical and contemporary theories, and show how each either 1) fails to give any definition of humor, 2) fails as a theory of humor, and/or 3) underappreciates, dismisses, or does not consider the power of humor in experience. The second chapter explains the failures of prior theories by understanding the problem in terms of Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of symbolic forms. These forms of culture are perspectives through which we …


Towards A Philosophy Of The Musical Experience: Phenomenology, Culture, And Ethnomusicology In Conversation, J. Tyler Friedman Apr 2019

Towards A Philosophy Of The Musical Experience: Phenomenology, Culture, And Ethnomusicology In Conversation, J. Tyler Friedman

Dissertations (1934 -)

This dissertation engages the questions and methodologies of phenomenology, the philosophy of culture, the philosophy of music and ethnomusicology in order to investigate the significance of music in human life. The systematic orientation of Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of symbolic forms provides the overarching framework that positions the approach in chapter one. Following Cassirer, art in general and music in particular are not regarded as enjoyable yet dispensable pastimes, but rather as fundamental ways of experiencing the world as intuitive forms and sensations. Establishing the ontological significance of music entails unpacking the sui generis experience of time, space and subjectivity that …


The New Day Of Atonement: A Matthean Typology, Hans Moscicke Apr 2019

The New Day Of Atonement: A Matthean Typology, Hans Moscicke

Dissertations (1934 -)

Ancient Christians often interpreted the death of Jesus through the lens of Leviticus 16, conceiving Jesus as both the immolated “goat for Yahweh,” whose blood the high priest brought into the Holy of Holies once a year to purge Israel’s sins, and the “goat for Azazel,” which bore Israel’s iniquity into the wilderness far away from God’s presence. Such an understanding of Jesus’s death did not strike theologians such as the author of the Epistle of Barnabas, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Hippolytus, Origen, Jerome, Cyril of Alexandria, and the earliest Markan commentator as strange. What is strange is how seldom modern …


Infideles Et Philosophi: Assent, Untruth, And Natural Knowledge Of The Simple God, Jeffrey M. Walkey Apr 2019

Infideles Et Philosophi: Assent, Untruth, And Natural Knowledge Of The Simple God, Jeffrey M. Walkey

Dissertations (1934 -)

Victor Preller’s “reformulation” of St. Thomas has impacted many contemporary theologians and philosophers, among them, George Lindbeck, Stanley Hauerwas, Bruce Marshall, D. Stephen Long, Fergus Kerr, to name only a few. According to Kerr, Preller is responsible for bringing to the fore St. Thomas’s denial that unbelievers can be truly said to believe “God exists.” In particular, Preller draws our attention to ST II-II, q. 2, a. 2, ad 3. Seemingly, in light of this passage, all non-believers have a defect in cognition with respect to the simple God. As such, they cannot be said to believe “God exists” at …


Widow As The Altar Of God: Retrieving Ancient Sources For Contemporary Discussions On Christian Discipleship, Lisa Marin Moore Apr 2019

Widow As The Altar Of God: Retrieving Ancient Sources For Contemporary Discussions On Christian Discipleship, Lisa Marin Moore

Dissertations (1934 -)

Recent accounts of the history of Christian theology tend to neglect materialconcerning widows in antiquity and their contribution to Christian discipleship. In thisdissertation I would like to offer a corrective along the lines of studying the contributionof widows in Jewish and Christian antiquity to the Catholic tradition. In particular, Icontend that the Jewish roots of the widows’ contribution to Christian theology is alsooverlooked. The idea of the widow as an “altar of God,” which emerges in early Churchliterature, requires an understanding of the history of widows and the altar in Jewish andChristian antiquity. …


A Sweet Influence: St. Bonaventure’S Franciscan Reception Of Dionysian Hierarchy, Luke Vittorio Togni Apr 2019

A Sweet Influence: St. Bonaventure’S Franciscan Reception Of Dionysian Hierarchy, Luke Vittorio Togni

Dissertations (1934 -)

This dissertation examines the intersection of St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio’s use of the doctrine of hierarchy (transmitted in the writings of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite) with his interpretation of St. Francis of Assisi as the model for the imitation of Jesus Christ. In particular, it argues that Bonaventure’s doctrine of hierarchy became increasingly informed by his devotion to Francis’ virtues and to Christ’ Crucified, so that, by the time he wrote the Legenda maior sancti Francisci (by 1263) hierarchy was Franciscanized by an explicit integration with the Cross, the spiritual senses of scripture, and the primacy of love in union to …


What Does It Mean To Move For Black Lives?, Kimberly Ann Harris Apr 2019

What Does It Mean To Move For Black Lives?, Kimberly Ann Harris

Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications

I argue that the key ideas of the movement for Black lives have resonances with Frantz Fanon's ideas particularly in Black Skin, White Masks. I first demonstrate how the mission to repudiate Black demise and affirm Black humanity captures Fanon's critique of universal humanism. The fear of the Black body was central to the testimonies of Darren Wilson, Jeronimo Yanez, and George Zimmerman (the individuals that shot and killed Mike Brown, Philando Castile, and Trayvon Martin respectively). Fanon prioritized the role of the body in his account of racism. It is difficult to not see the relevance of Fanon's analysis …


Reading Multicultural Novels Melancholically: Racial Grief And Grievance In The Joy Luck Club, Beloved, And Anil's Ghost, Jennifer Arias Sweeney Apr 2019

Reading Multicultural Novels Melancholically: Racial Grief And Grievance In The Joy Luck Club, Beloved, And Anil's Ghost, Jennifer Arias Sweeney

Dissertations (1934 -)

The teaching of multicultural literature in English classrooms has focused on a liberal rather than critical approach. The liberal multicultural approach focuses on pluralism, which is actually a form of assimilationism that denies ethnic difference and silences racial conflict. This silencing produces a new kind of racial grief where ethnic and racial identities are ignored and the expectation is for racialized figures to get over their losses. I believe we should focus on a critical multiculturalism that critiques assimilationism and recognizes racial grief. I assert that English instructors should teach an interpretive strategy called reading melancholically. I am defining melancholia …


The Fantastic And The First World War, Brian Kenna Apr 2019

The Fantastic And The First World War, Brian Kenna

Dissertations (1934 -)

This study argues that the First World War was a key event in the formation of the modern fantasy genre. It asserts that academic literary criticism formed around a set of assumptions that left it ill-equipped to conceptualize the fantastic as a modern mode of writing. By studying veteran English authors of World War I, including Siegfried Sassoon, David Jones, and J. R. R. Tolkien, it identifies the fantastic as an essential means of representing and responding to a set of events that were experienced as incomprehensible, even impossible. Because it offered a safe means of engaging the events of …


"The Present Evil Age": The Origin And Persistence Of Evil In Galatians, Tyler Allen Stewart Apr 2019

"The Present Evil Age": The Origin And Persistence Of Evil In Galatians, Tyler Allen Stewart

Dissertations (1934 -)

This dissertation investigates the origin and persistence of evil in Galatians within the context of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. The focus of investigation is narrative explanation(s) for evil. What story and/or stories were told to explain the original cause of evil and why it persists in the present? The study begins with a history of research that separates current scholarly accounts of Paul’s view of evil into two broad categories, Adamic template and Christological novum. According to the Adamic template, evil originates in Adam’s sin and persists in human rebellion in the likeness of the Protoplast. According to …


The City As A Trap: 20th And 21st Century American Literature And The American Myth Of Mobility, Andrew Joseph Hoffmann Apr 2019

The City As A Trap: 20th And 21st Century American Literature And The American Myth Of Mobility, Andrew Joseph Hoffmann

Dissertations (1934 -)

This dissertation reads twentieth and twenty-first century U.S. multicultural literatures, women’s literature, and science-fiction film and literature to identify a tradition of literary representation of long-standing patterns of economic entrapment in American cities.” I argue that the capitalist ideologies of opportunity and spatial, economic, and social mobility associated with American cities have been largely false promises, and that literature provides an avenue to investigate the ideological matrices and cultural narratives that American capitalism uses to situate bodies where it needs them, primarily in urban centers. I claim that this entrapment remains more or less a constant in American cities despite …


No Home But The World: Forced Migration And Transnational Identity, Justice Hagan Apr 2019

No Home But The World: Forced Migration And Transnational Identity, Justice Hagan

Dissertations (1934 -)

In my dissertation, I investigate how 20th and 21st century literature depicts new transnational identities that challenge the conventional understanding that belonging and identity are routed primarily through the nation-state. Specifically, I focus on those narratives within immigrant literature that address the lived experiences and consequent identity formations of forced migrants: individuals, families, and communities displaced from their country or region of origin and forced to inhabit spaces with which they often have no prior familiarity. This literature challenges the idea that a spectrum of lived experiences can be restricted to a codified US nationalism and contained within an identity …


Confessing Characters: Coming To Faith In The Gospel Of John, Dominic Zappia Apr 2019

Confessing Characters: Coming To Faith In The Gospel Of John, Dominic Zappia

Dissertations (1934 -)

There are at least seventy-two characters in the Fourth Gospel. Given its statement of purpose in 20:30-31, which suggests that it is for the sake of narrating miracles to produce faith, this observation is of interest. According to traditional counting there are seven miracles in John. Nonetheless, much of the Gospel is the retelling not of miracles but of conversations and other encounters between Jesus and a wide variety of characters, many of whom are not directly tied to these miracles. Given the number and variety of characters in John, questions arise: What function do characters as characters serve in …


Faith And Disbelief, Robert K. Whitaker Apr 2019

Faith And Disbelief, Robert K. Whitaker

Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications

Is faith that p compatible with disbelief that p? I argue that it is. After surveying some recent literature on the compatibility of propositional (so-called faith-that) and non-propositional (faith-in) forms of faith with the lack of belief, I take the next step and offer several arguments for the thesis that both these forms of faith are also compatible, in certain cases, with outright disbelief. This is contrary to the views of some significant recent commentators on propositional faith, including Robert Audi and Daniel Howard-Snyder. The primary argument revolves around the possibility of maintaining a single faith through drastic changes in …

Educating For Ecological Responsibility: Bernard Lonergan, Pope Francis, And A Local Case Study Prompted By A Global Reality, Jame Schaefer Jan 2019

Educating For Ecological Responsibility: Bernard Lonergan, Pope Francis, And A Local Case Study Prompted By A Global Reality, Jame Schaefer

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Bernard Lonergan’s philosophy of knowing and Pope Francis’s magisterial teachings yield a complementary trajectory toward educating for ecological responsibility. A concrete example was demonstrated by students in the capstone seminar required for the Interdisciplinary Minor in Environmental Ethics (INEE) at Marquette University in Spring 2017. After exploring Lonergan’s explanation of responsibility, his philosophy of education in which he underscores the need to integrate different ways of knowing, and the pope’s call for “integral ecology” when addressing and acting on ecological problems, the INEE seminar and its outcomes are described. They demonstrate local ways in which individuals and their religious communities …

Sicily’S Historical Traumas: Luigi Pirandello’S “L’Altro Figlio” And Its Cinematic Rendition By Paolo E Vittorio Taviani In Kaos (1984), Giordana Poggiolo-Kaftan

Italian Languages and Literature

Il saggio prende in esame una novella pirandelliana e la sua resa cinematografica. In “L’altro figlio”, Maragrazia, la protagonista, vive completamente e tragicamente emarginata dagli abitanti di Farnia (Sicilia) che la considerano una vecchia pazza. Causa della sua apparente pazzia sembra essere la lontananza dei suoi amati figli, emigrati da anni in America come tanti concittadini, con i quali ha perso ogni contatto. Un giovane medico appena arrivato a Farnia ha pena di Maragrazia e, interessandosi del suo stato mentale, decide di farsi raccontare la storia della sua vita. Viene così a scoprire che il marito della povera donna era …

The Legend Of Zelda In The Anthropocene, Gerry Canavan Jan 2019

The Legend Of Zelda In The Anthropocene, Gerry Canavan

English Faculty Research and Publications

The Legend of Zelda (1986), for the original Nintendo Entertainment System, posited an immediately familiar fantasy milieu: a sleeping princess, an evil king, magical helpers, ancient artifacts of intense power, the rise of a hero. Players guide that hero, Link, through a series of increasingly difficult dungeons, accumulating tools and expanding their abilities in a linear narrative of personal development until they are finally able to defeat Ganon, rescue Zelda, and save the beleaguered kingdom of Hyrule. The end. But subsequent entries in the series cannot adhere to this narrative of linear progress and individual triumph, developing instead an increasingly …
