Separation, Mourning, And Consolation In La Route D'Altamont, Thomas M. Carr Jr.

French Language and Literature Papers

In discussing Bonheur d'occasion Patrick Coleman has identified Gabrielle Roy's difficulty finding a vehicle to convey convincingly her insight that "an awareness of separation is a necessary condition of any moment of real connection" as one of her chief esthetic problems (77). Her successful negotiation of this tension in La Route d'Altamont owes much to presenting consolation as an antidote to separation. First, rather than deny the reality of separation, consolation mediates between it and union by allowing Roy to portray separation coexisting with communion; even the most stable consolations must be constantly renewed since consolation is more a process …

Essayistic Discourse As Literary Autobiography And Feminist Criticism In Rosario Ferré'S Sitio A Eros And El Coloquio De Las Perras, J. Agustín Pastén B.

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

In Sitio a Eros and El coloquio de las perras, Rosario Ferré turns the traditional Spanish American essay into a most propitious space to investigate issues of gender and more specifically, writing as a potential vehicle for women's ultimate liberation. In these two books, in which the line between literary criticism and feminist criticism is hard to separate, she joins the ranks of writers such as Gabriela Mistral, Victoria Ocampo and Rosario Castellanos, Latin America's best-known female predecessors in the essay.

Most of the essays included in Ferré's Sitio a Eros (1980, 1986) were written in the late seventies, …

"In Brightest Africa": Naturalistic Constructions Of Africa In The American Museum Of Natural History, 1910-1936, Jeannette Eileen Jones

Department of History: Faculty Publications

The opening of the American Museum of Natural History's Akeley African Hall in 1936 symbolized the triumph of a vision of Africa almost twenty-five years in its conception. Led by Carl Akeley, naturalists at the AMNH dreamed of "Brightest Africa" (C. Akeley 1924), epitomized in an exhibit that would capture the true essence of the continent and dispel myths of steaming jungles, ferocious beasts, and primitive savages. For them, the Hall was the culmination of years of expedition, research, and discovery in the "Dark Continent," supported by scholarly publication, radio broadcast, and cinematic production. African Hall was scientific proof that …

Writing The Public Sphere Through Family/Community History, Amy M. Goodburn

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Composition scholars recently have begun to call for a re-imagined role for compositionists as public intellectuals who participate in the public sphere. At the same time compositionists are increasingly advocating writing pedagogies that ask students to investigate and participate in the public sphere—via service learning projects, community-service writing, “real-world” writing for businesses and non-profi t agencies, and so on. Susan Wells, Elizabeth Ervin, Peter Mortensen, and Ellen Cushman all, to varying extents, have argued for compositionists to use their rhetorical expertise in public arenas. Wells, one of the most prominent advocates of writing in the public sphere, describes four ways …

Review Of Elizabeth Ewan And Maureen M. Meikle, Eds., Women In Scotland C. 1100-C. 1750, Carole Levin

Department of History: Faculty Publications

One of the most famous women in history was a Scotswoman, Mary Stuart. But the rest of women in Scottish history have long been ignored. Elizabeth Ewan and Maureen Meikle have put together an impressive collection that addresses women in Scotland in the medieval and early modem period. The editors argue persuasively that it is important to know about Scotswomen from all social levels. The book includes a very useful time line and introduc- tory bibliographical essay. The twenty essays in the collection are arranged under the themes of religion, literature, legal history, the economy, politics, and the family. ... …

Foreign-Language Comedy Production In The Third Reich, William Grange

Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film: Faculty Publications and Creative Activity

The two most frequently performed non-German comic playwrights on German-language stages from 1933 to 1944 were Carlo Goldoni (1707-1793) and Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), whose plays served the purposes of cultural transmission both by the theatre establishment and the political regime in power at the time. Goethe had seen Goldoni productions in Venice during his "Italian Journeys" between 1786 and 1788, and he reported that never in his life had he heard such "laughter and bellowing at a theatre." It remains unclear whether he meant laughing and bellowing on the part of audiences or the actors, but since his other remarks …

Anus As Oculus: Satire And Subversion In Eustorg De Beaulieu's Du Cul , Russell J. Ganim

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Faculty Publications

This study seeks to rehabilitate Eustorg de Beaulieu's (c. 1495-1552) Du cul (1537) in terms of the poem's satirically subversive nature. I choose the term "rehabilitate" in order to challenge certain aspects of Annette and Edward Tomarken's argument that the poem should be read more in terms of its commentary on the lyric genre of the blason than as a derisive indictment of social norms. I hold that on an implicit level, the poem does support the Tomarkens' contention that Beaulieu "push[es] to its ultimate limits the genre (i.e., the blason) with which he is working" (151). In the …

Under Mallarmé'S Wing, Marshall C. Olds

French Language and Literature Papers

The following was presented as a lecture in conjunction with the exhibit of 18th-century European fans, held at the McMullen Art Museum of Boston College, September, 2000. The author is Professor of French at the University of Nebraska. He is the author of books and articles on French literature, and the editor of Nineteenth- Century French Studies.

To have 19th-century French poetry breeze into this exhibit of beautifully crafted fans from the 18th century should be viewed as a complementary and friendly action. Indeed, the exhibition title, "Hand-held Delight," is especially apposite for our topic today, for the poet in …

Review Of Matthew Dillon & Lynda Garland, Ancient Greece: Social And Historical Documents From Archaic Times To The Death Of Socrates (C. 800-399 Bc). 2nd Ed., Vanessa B. Gorman

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Dillon and Garland have revised their collection of ancient Greek documents in this second edition. As with the first edition, the present sourcebook is intended primarily for use by undergraduate students and secondarily for the "reader interested in further study" (p. xi), presumably the Greekless scholar. The work is divided into fourteen chapters roughly by chronology and topic, with anywhere from four to fifteen subdivisions within the chapters. The individual entries are each given a discrete number carried over from the first edition, as well as an introduction that includes background information and references to secondary sources pertinent to the …

The Other Millennium: Review Of Yesterdays Future: The Twentieth Century Begins. Michael E. Stevens, Ed., George W. Geib

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The widespread public interest and accompanying media hype surrounding the millennium celebrations of December 31, 1999, produced several interesting projects among historians and documentary editors. One of those is this slender volume, published in 1999 by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Yesterday's Future uses the pen and eye of the print media of a century ago to look at one state's responses to the coming of a new century. Intended as part of a series, "Voices of the Wisconsin Past," the book is a selection of nearly one hundred reports and opinions offered to Wisconsin newspaper readers a hundred …

The Artist In His Autobiography: Review Of The Selected Papers Of Charles Willson Peale And His Family, Vol. 5, The Autobiography Of Charles Willson Peale, Ed. Lillian B. Miller, Sidney Hart, David C. Ward, Lauren E. Brown, Sara C. Hale, Leslie K. Reinhardt., Wendy Bellion

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827) painted more self-portraits than did any other American artist of his generation. Between the outset of his career in the 1760s and his death in 1827, Peale depicted himself no fewer than twenty times. He cast himself in oil paints, clay, and wax; in miniature, half-length, and life-size; alone, with family, and with strangers; and as a soldier, husband, father, scientist, and painter. dearly, autobiography held an abiding interest for Peale. There is no better demonstration of this than The Artist in His Museum, a monumental painting commissioned by the trustees of Peale's Museum in 1822 …

Robert Allen Rutland, 1 October 1922-30 December 2000

He made original contributions in several fields-in early American politics, the Constitution, and documentary editing. As a mentor he inspired and encouraged his colleagues, particularly those who worked with him on the Papers of James Madison.

Two Hundred Years Of Acquiring The Fifty Years Of The Colonial Records Of Georgia: A Chapter In Failure In Historical Publication, Robert Scott Davis Jr.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

In 1799, Georgia made the earliest attempt of any state to obtain copies of its colonial records from Europe. The history of its subsequent efforts to obtain and publish this earliest documentation well represents the problems and attempted solutions made by the many other such projects in the two centuries that followed. After all of the efforts to make its colonial records accessible, the state still does not have . a complete and credible publication of these records, and this goal remains elusive.

Part of the difficulty stems from decisions on editing, problems that originated in the acquisition of copies …

Wordsworth Senex: Review Of The Cornell Wordsworth: Last Poems, 1821-1850, Ed. Jared Curtis, With Associate Eds. April Lea Denny-Ferris And Jillian Heydt-Stevenson., Donald H. Reiman

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The Cornell Wordsworth is one of the most ambitious and, on the whole, one of the most successful multi-volume literary editions of our time. Nearly forty years ago, General Editor Stephen M. Parrish and other senior Wordsworthians conceived the project as a way to rescue the reputation of William Wordsworth (WW) from what they regarded as his mistaken tendency to age his poems as though they were fine wine by repeatedly revising them (some for . nineteen years or more) before he finally released them for publication. An original aim of the Cornell Wordsworth was, therefore, to make available from …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

At its November 14, 2000, meeting, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) recommended grants totaling up to $3.8 million for 47 projects. The Commission described competition for funding as "fierce," with requests under consideration at this meeting exceeding $8 million. While reaffirmning its support for the Founding Era documentary editions, the Commission noted a substantial increase in the number and quality of grant proposals in the State Board and Electronic Records Programs. The Commission was able to maintain last year's level of funding for the Founding Era documentary editing projects. However, the NHPRC Fellowship Programs in Archival Administration …

Prévert Reads Shakespeare: Lacenaire As Iago In Les Enfants Du Paradis, Russell J. Ganim

French Language and Literature Papers

First impressions seem to suggest little more than a casual link between Othello and the film Les Enfants du Paradis despite multiple references to Shakespeare’s tragedy in Jacques Prévert’s screenplay. Many glaring differences present themselves with respect to both works. The Elizabethan drama appears to have little in common with a film made and released in France during the Occupation that focuses on a troupe of actors, a petty criminal, and an aristocrat in early nineteenth-century Paris. Yet, Prévert’s numerous appropriations of Shakespeare are crucial to the film’s meaning. Edward Baron Turk, who mentions the film’s allusions to Shakespeare, argues …

Review Of Christine Meek, Ed., Women In Renaissance And Early Modern Europe, Carole Levin

Department of History: Faculty Publications

This collection of essays has many very fine pieces, but there is really no coherent theme that ties them together. While i; is about women in the Renaissancea nd early modern Europe (Meek covers her bases by using both terms), the essays are very specialized. They do not provide the wide coverage of material that the title implies and the title would never suggest the specifics in the book. Rather, as a collection that grew out of a conference held at Trinity College Dublin in 1998, some of the essays connect with each other, while others are of very different …

Review Of The Holocaust In American Life, By Peter Novick., Alan E. Steinweis

Department of History: Faculty Publications

The Holocaust has undeniably become a fixture in American culture. What has come to be called the "Americanization of the Holocaust" is the subject of several recent books, a lively discussion within the American Jewish community, and even a course in American history at the University of Heidelberg. Among the many attempts to document and explain how the Holocaust has been Americanized, perhaps the most ambitious and provocative is Peter Novick's The Holocaust in American Life. The book is ambitious both on account of its chronological breadth, covering the entire period from the Second World War to the present …

Eidgenössischer Geheimdienst Und Österreichischer Widerstand 1943-1946, Gerald Steinacher

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Die Neutralitätspolitik der Schweiz wurde bis in das Frühjahr 1944 grossteils eingehalten. Dann veränderten sich die politischen Rahmenbedingungen dermassen, dass Schweizer Geheimdienste bereit waren, österreichische Widerstandsgruppen zu unterstützen. Der Zusammenbruch des Dritten Reiches schien nur mehr eine Frage der Zeit zu sein. Allerdings fürchtete man das Eindringen deutscher Truppen im Falle eines chaotischen Kriegsendes. Darüber hinaus waren die Schweizer Militärs vom Konzept einer deutschen «Alpenfestung» an ihrer Ostgrenze lange Zeit überzeugt. Dies waren die Prämissen, unter denen die Schweizer Nachrichtendienste bereit waren, mit Leuten des österreichischen Widerstandes in Kontakt zu treten

Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich vor allem mit dem Nachrichtendienst …

"Wir Taten Es, Um Zu Zeigen, Dass Die Sache Der Alliierten Auch Die Unsere War.'': Südtiroler Widerstand Und Die Alliierten 1943-1945, Gerald Steinacher

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Im September 1943 besetzten deutsche Truppen Italien. Von vielen als Befreiung begrüßt, wutde Südtirol "de facto" an das Dritte Reich angeschlossen. Dahinter standen Annexionstendenzen vor allem Tiroler Nationalsozialisten. Der deutschsprachige Widerstand setzte auf den Sieg der Alliierten und eine Angliederung an ein demokratisches Österreich. Dies wiederum rief Reaktionen italienischerseits hervor, wobei die Akteure der "Resistenza" und die Mussolini-Getreuen das gleiche nationale Ziel verfolgten: die Erhaltung der Brennergrenze. Alle Akteure wußten, daß die territoriale Zukunft dieses Gebietes von der Haltung der Alliierten, insbesondere den USA abhing. In dieser kritischen Phase waren daher Kontakte zu den Alliierten von zentraler Bedeutung. Diese Verbindungen …

Futurist Fiction And Fantasy: The Racial Establishment, Gregory E. Rutledge

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Futurist fiction and fantasy encompasses a variety of subgenres: hard science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, sword-and-sorcerer fantasy, and cyberpunk. Unfortunately, even though nearly a century has expired since the advent of futurist fiction and fantasy, Richard Pryor’s observation and a call for action is still viable. Despite the growing number of Black futurist fiction and fantasy writers, the proportion of Black futurist fiction and fantasy authors to White futurist fiction and fantasy authors is dismal. This disproportion means that Black futurist fiction and fantasy authors have a limited presence in the industry. Thus, although Black futurist fiction and fantasy authors …

"Every Body Sees The Theft": Fanny Fern And Literary Proprietorship In Antebellum America, Melissa J. Homestead

Department of English: Faculty Publications

In Walden, Henry David Thoreau complained of what he believed to be the provincial reading habits of his Concord neighbors: "If we will read newspapers, why not skip the gossip of Boston and take the best newspapers in the world at once?- to not be sucking the pap of 'neutral family' papers, or browsing the 'Olive Branches' here in New England.” While Thoreau's own Week on the Concord and Merrinlack Rivers failed to find a national audience, he misreads (or willfully misrepresents) the potential geographic reach of authors who the Olive Branch, the weekly paper that launched Fanny …
