"Survival With Honor": The Battle Between The Flesh And The Spirit In The Dramas Of Tennessee Williams, Kirby Watkins
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Tennessee Williams struggled his entire life with sexuality and spirituality. His view of God and sex were continuously intermingled in confusion, and the resulting chaos found its way into many of Williams’ plays. This thesis focuses on Williams’ entire career, from his very first plays to some of his last. The theme of flesh versus spirit is examined closely. Williams attempted in many ways to find a balance between the two and his characters exemplify this search.
An Investigation Of The Intersection Between Art And Activism, Emily Wilcox
An Investigation Of The Intersection Between Art And Activism, Emily Wilcox
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Art has social relevance and is effective as a means of activism. Current social and environmental crises make art-based activism especially relevant today. There are problems with prevailing views on art, which prevent many artists from seeing themselves as agents of change. Therefore, some established views on art need to shift in order for artists to become more empowered. Ways of utilizing art for activism are many and varied. Activism is often approached with attitudes that are problematic and ineffective. An art-based approach is a positive alternative because it stimulates empathy. Empathy is necessary to achieve social and environmental justice. …
The Hands Beneath The Blood, Kasey Bell
The Hands Beneath The Blood, Kasey Bell
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
I love history. Always have, always will. And it’s true what they say: history really is written by the winners. Anyone who ends up on the losing side is always branded as evil by the winners. Some deserve it, and some don’t. Take the Germans in World War II. Now, I am in no way condoning the actions of the Nazi party, but the important thing to remember is that not everyone in Germany at the time was a Jew-hating, Hitler-loving fascist. In fact, most swore allegiance to the country, not the swastika. I started thinking about the following story …
Edward I And The Appropriation Of Arthurian Legend, Rachealle Marie Sanford
Edward I And The Appropriation Of Arthurian Legend, Rachealle Marie Sanford
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
In recent years, an increasing interest in the appropriation of folklore by political leaders has led scholars to investigate potential instances where this may have occurred in the past. This work follows that tradition, examining the life and actions of King Edward I of England to determine if there are instances where he is making deliberate use of folk narrative for his own political aims. An analysis of several events discussed by past historians indicates that the king was intentionally manipulating the Arthurian legend, which was highly popular in Europe during the thirteenth century, to justify his claims to authority …

The Collapse: An Annotated Screenplay, Brandon Colvin
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
The Collapse: An Annotated Screenplay consists of an in-depth theoretical essay and an original feature-length screenplay, with a series of annotations to the screenplay explicating how the principles established in the essay are implemented in a creative work. The essay, entitled “The Absurd Screen: Bresson, Tarkovsky, and ‘Waterless Deserts,’” investigates how Albert Camus’ philosophy of the absurd applies to the cinematic styles of two directors – Robert Bresson and Andrei Tarkovsky – using examples from the filmmakers’ own theoretical writings and specific scenes and sequences from their films. The Collapse provides a practical example of the essay’s conclusions and categorizations, …

Don't Give Grandma An Ipod For Christmas: An Expository Study Examining The Consumer Behavior Of Senior Citizens In The Digital Music Indistry, Joshua T. Coleman
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Senior citizens are the fastest growing demographic today, and the digital music industry is one of the fastest growing aspects of our economy. This study explores the relationships and underlying correlations between these two facets. Three research methods were employed: field observation of a musician targeting his music to the elderly; data analysis of this musician’s sales records; and a questionnaire seeking the purchasing and listening preferences of baby boomers and senior citizens. The results reveal that, as age increases, senior citizens’ comfort purchasing and listening to music through digital methods decreases. A negative correlation between age, nostalgic marketing, and …
