[Introduction To] Red Star Tales: A Century Of Russian And Soviet Science Of Fiction, Yvonne H. Howell

[Introduction To] Posthumanism And Educational Research, Nathan Snaza, John A. Weaver Jan 2015

[Introduction To] Posthumanism And Educational Research, Nathan Snaza, John A. Weaver

Bookshelf

Focusing on the interdependence between human, animal, and machine, posthumanism redefines the meaning of the human being previously assumed in knowledge production. This movement challenges some of the most foundational concepts in educational theory and has implications within educational research, curriculum design and pedagogical interactions. In this volume, a group of international contributors use posthumanist theory to present new modes of institutional collaboration and pedagogical practice. They position posthumanism as a comprehensive theoretical project with connections to philosophy, animal studies, environmentalism, feminism, biology, queer theory and cognition. Researchers and scholars in curriculum studies and philosophy of education will benefit from …


[Introduction To] The Other Rise Of The Novel In Eighteenth- Century French Fiction, Olivier M. Delers Jan 2015

[Introduction To] The Other Rise Of The Novel In Eighteenth- Century French Fiction, Olivier M. Delers

Bookshelf

The rise of the novel paradigm—and the underlying homology between the rise of a bourgeois middle class and the coming of age of a new literary genre—continues to influence the way we analyze economic discourse in the eighteenth-century French novel. Characters are often seen as portraying bourgeois values, even when historiographical evidence points to the virtual absence of a self-conscious and coherent bourgeoisie in France in the early modern period. Likewise, the fact that the nobility was a dynamic and diverse group whose members had learned to think in individualistic and meritocratic terms as a result of courtly politics is …


Modern American Myth-Making In Mass Media Texts, Kassandra Andreadis Jan 2015

Modern American Myth-Making In Mass Media Texts, Kassandra Andreadis

Honors Theses

What is an American myth? “Myth” can have many meanings and can refer to many different types of works. For example, Edwards and Klosa refer to Frankenstein as “an important mythic text” (Edwards and Klosa 34), which provides a middle point between ancient myths (e.g. the Odyssey) and current myths, showing that myths have continued to be produced and establishing myth-making as a continuous process. This process continues into the present, all over the world, so it stands to reason that the United States of America has its own myths. The identity of those myths is less certain. While ideas …


Memoria, Espacio Y Lenguage En Rasgado De Lila Zemborain, Mariela Méndez Jan 2015

Memoria, Espacio Y Lenguage En Rasgado De Lila Zemborain, Mariela Méndez

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Con esta pregunta la hablante poética de Rasgado cierra su recorrido urbano en el poema titulado "1987 - septiembre 2001". El sitio/ escenario de las Torres Gemelas en New York City antes y después del atentado del 11 de septiembre de 2001 marca y demarca las coordenadas espacio-temporales de este diario poético cuyo proceso de composición la misma autora describe como de "documentación de un evento temible" "desde las imágenes, el ritmo y la f orma de un libro celebratorio" (10). Este es de hecho el único poema que visualmente reproduce en el espacio de la página la forma de …

Liberalism And Economic Liberty, Jeppe Von Platz, John Tomasi Jan 2015

Liberalism And Economic Liberty, Jeppe Von Platz, John Tomasi

Philosophy Faculty Publications

The problem of economic liberty can be understood along two dimensions: the first concerns what significance economic liberties should have; the second concerns why they should have this significance. The significance of a liberty is a function of two variables; weight and scope. The weight of a liberty is the importance it should be accorded in political deliberation vis-a-vis other societal considerations that might inform the exercise of political authority. The weightier the liberty, the more significant it is, meaning that fewer or stronger societal considerations can justify regulating the sphere of agency protected by this liberty.


From ‘Sots-Romanticism’ To Rom-Com: The Strugatskys’ Monday Begins On Saturday As A Film Comedy, Yvonne Howell Jan 2015

From ‘Sots-Romanticism’ To Rom-Com: The Strugatskys’ Monday Begins On Saturday As A Film Comedy, Yvonne Howell

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

The Strugatskii brothers’ novella Ponedel’nik nachinaetsia v subbotu (Monday Begins on Saturday; 1965) imagines bright young scientists working at the cutting edge between quantum physics and folktale sorcery in a setting that was undeniably contemporary and local. I argue that the story can be best understood as ‘soc(ialist) romanticism’ – an aesthetic mode that celebrates the possibilities for individual questing and agency in late Soviet socialism. Konstantin Bromberg’s 1982 adaptation of the Strugatskiis’s story abandons both the romanticism and complexity of the novella, but, by incorporating elements of the‘youth film’, it represents a different kind of Soviet rom-com.


Du Mythe Au Dialogue: Sade Et L'Érotisme Surréaliste, Olivier M. Delers Jan 2015

Du Mythe Au Dialogue: Sade Et L'Érotisme Surréaliste, Olivier M. Delers

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

Avec la peinture, la photographie et le dessin, le surréalisme parvient progressivement à s'éloigner d'une conception trop idéologique du travail de Sade et à engager un dialogue à la fois esthétique et politique entre l'univers érotique surréaliste et la représentation sadienne d'une sexualité qui s'affranchit de toute norme sociale. Man Ray, par l'étendue et la variété des sujets qu'il traite, fait office de figure centrale dans ce mouvement du mythe au dialogue. De ses portraits « imaginaires » du Marquis, à l'illustration du roman Aline et Valcour, aux photographies de figurines en bois faisant référence à des thématiques sadiennes, …
