Animal Stereotypes In Children’S Picture Books, Jeanna L. Massman Jan 1979

Animal Stereotypes In Children’S Picture Books, Jeanna L. Massman

Graduate Research Papers

This research was a content analysis concerned with the stereotyping of animals in children's literature. Five hypotheses were formulated on the topic. These hypotheses examined the relationship between type of characterization (animal as animal, animal as animal but talking, animal as human being) and stereotyping. The relationship between role of character (major or minor) and stereotyping and the degree of stereotyping and realism, in general, prevalent in children's picture books. The animals picked for analysis were bears, foxes, mice and rabbits. The total population of books was taken from five sources and a stratified random sample was drawn. A total …

A Comparative Study Of The Performer's Empathic Process In The Arts Of Interpretation And Modern Dance, Patricia Reddinger Geist Jan 1979

A Comparative Study Of The Performer's Empathic Process In The Arts Of Interpretation And Modern Dance, Patricia Reddinger Geist

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The present study was designed as a comparative analysis of the performer's empathic process in the arts of interpretation and modern dance. The similarity between the performer's empathic process in both arts provided a method for exploring the utility that modern dance offers the interpreter. It was the purpose of this thesis to suggest that training in modern dance provides an experience in expressive movement which develops the interpreter's ability to empathize with the literature.

The performer's experience in modern dance and interpretation involves an empathic response to stimuli presented within the choreography or within the literature. Examination of various …


Backwaters: Four Stories And A Play, Gregory Paul Gerjerts Jan 1979

Backwaters: Four Stories And A Play, Gregory Paul Gerjerts

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It is not often that extended, authorial remarks introduce an individual volume of fiction. When they do they are more often self-serving than illuminative; inappreciable than noteworthy. As such they occasion no particular response in the reader save for a scant sense of relief once the obligation to read them is met, an unhappy situation: one is not obligated to read fiction, but once the book is opened, there they can be, the prolegomenous remarks, menacingly tucked between cover and content, piquing. These will not be protracted. If one feels obligated to read them, one should also know that the …


The Ethics Of Business And Herbert Hoover’S Internationalism, Robin L. Hamilton Jan 1979

The Ethics Of Business And Herbert Hoover’S Internationalism, Robin L. Hamilton

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Is it possible that someone possessed the attributes of a humanitarian and yet acted in such a way that those same characteristics were lost? Could an administrator deal with the plight of the unfortunate members of society and fail to recognize the causational factors of that plight? It would appear illogical to reason that the correct responses to the above questions could be in the affirmative, and yet the affirmative answers seemed to be applicable to the life and career of Herbert Hoover. The time-line ran from West Branch, Iowa, in 1874, ending in that same village in 1964.


A Thesis Concerned With The Construction Of Impromptu Sculptures Solving Problems Of Equilibrium, Weight, And Movement, Jim Blocker Jan 1979

A Thesis Concerned With The Construction Of Impromptu Sculptures Solving Problems Of Equilibrium, Weight, And Movement, Jim Blocker

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

For me the attainment of awareness or understanding through sensory perception (or the act of possessing quick and immediate insight into the dynamics of form and space) is fundamental for spontanous [sic] ideas. To achieve and/or express these feelings and ideas in sculpture requires an automatic and intuitive response. My sculpture is constructed directly and simply using found stock piled materials (wood, rope, glass, steel and sticks). No preplaning or sketching is used. In selecting materials, I have responded to them instinctively, relating shapes, colors, sizes and other personal interests on an intrinsic basis. My intuition exhibits itself spontaneously as …


Personifying Subliminal Patterns, Brian C. Gran Jan 1979

Personifying Subliminal Patterns, Brian C. Gran

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

What comes next? 1. - 2. x 3. f 4. * The marks above reflect a certain pattern. The logical answer to the question is "x". In order for a person to solve the problems/he has to implement logical reasoning to formulate a conscious pattern. It is the purpose of this thesis to assert subconscious patterns or subliminal patterns. Entitling it to the effect of "personifying subliminal patterns" means just that -- to give an identity to those patterns that exist below the threshold of one's awareness.


The Development And Use Of Self-Concept Enhancement Criteria In The Analysis Of Black Biographies, Marsha Gerber Jan 1978

The Development And Use Of Self-Concept Enhancement Criteria In The Analysis Of Black Biographies, Marsha Gerber

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of the study was to develop a list of criteria and a checklist from which to evaluate black biographies for self concept enhancement. The author hypothesized that such a checklist could be developed and used in evaluating black biographies. The checklist criteria were developed and used to evaluate forty black biographies, fifty percent of the biographies about blacks currently on the shelves of the McKinstry Junior High School media center. In using the checklist the author judged twenty percent of the books at borderline level for self-concept enhancement and seventeen percent unacceptable. The checklist seems to be a …


Content Analysis And Categorization Of Violence In Young Adult Novels, Janice Burriss Reelitz Jan 1978

Content Analysis And Categorization Of Violence In Young Adult Novels, Janice Burriss Reelitz

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this paper was to develop a means of identifying and categorizing violence in young adult novels. The professional literature reviewed helped to determine a working definition of violence and also provided insights for the researcher on how violence is categorized in the various medias by educators and socialogists. The identification and categorization of violence was applied to ten selected novels to form the basis for this research. The researcher selected five experts in the field of young adult literature who were interviewed and asked to submit ten or more titles of novels that they knew young adults …


Structure And Characterization In Popular Adolescent Fiction, Marcia Fox Jan 1978

Structure And Characterization In Popular Adolescent Fiction, Marcia Fox

Graduate Research Papers

For this study the author identified two criteria to be examined in junior novels. These criteria originally came from Stephen Dunning's five categories which he suggested as representative criteria against which the literary quality of the junior novel could be measured. The two categories chosen were structure and characterization in the novel. Each aspect of these two categories was defined and then applied to twenty-one junior novels that were fiction. The twenty-one novels examined were chosen from G. Robert Carlsen's list of popular books depicting adolescent concerns in the 1977 and 1978 English Journal. Each book was then measured numerically …

History Of The Northwood Public Library, Diana Stehn

Graduate Research Papers

On October 14, 1925, the Northwood Library became the Northwood Public Library. 3tate library officials assisted the Northwood Library's Board of Trustees with the planning for the operations of both the subscription and the public libraries.

Four areas in which research was focused upon during the twenty-one year period (January, 1907- December, 1927) studied included the population served by the library, changes in the geographic location …


On Visual Art And Camouflage, Roy R. Behrens Jan 1978

On Visual Art And Camouflage, Roy R. Behrens

Faculty Work

In a number of books on visual fine art and design [1, 2], there is mention of the kinship between camouflage and painting, but no one has, to my knowledge, pursued it. I have intermittently researched this relationship for several years, and my initial observations have recently been published [3]. Now I have been awarded a faculty research grant from the Graduate School of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to pursue this subject in depth. I am, therefore, collecting documents and personal accounts pertaining to historical and theoretical connections of the kind that are listed below.
