The Bourgeoisie And The Divine : Prophecy, Utopias, And Politics In The July Monarchy, Sarah E. Pace Jan 2020

The Bourgeoisie And The Divine : Prophecy, Utopias, And Politics In The July Monarchy, Sarah E. Pace

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

This dissertation analyzes the complexity of popular religious trends under a nominally secular government through the examination of prophecy during the French July Monarchy period (1830-1848). Throughout this era, several diverse individuals claimed to be the recipients of supernatural visions and visitations. These “prophets” attracted interest, and genuine belief, from a wide range of contemporaries. Studying the supernatural visionaries of this period, and those drawn to such phenomena, illustrates the nature of contemporary interests and values.

"She Is Finally Free" : An Analysis Of Women's Pathologized Oppression And Reclamation Of The Abject In "The Yellow Wallpaper" And Midsommar, Diana Gem Schultz Jan 2020

"She Is Finally Free" : An Analysis Of Women's Pathologized Oppression And Reclamation Of The Abject In "The Yellow Wallpaper" And Midsommar, Diana Gem Schultz

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Women live and lead pathologized lives, as evidenced by past diagnoses of women’s disorders like “hysteria” and more modern issues surrounding beliefs in women’s hormones and biological inferiority. In analyzing women’s relationships with a wider male society and the role Kristevean abjection takes in patriarchal views on women’s minds and bodies, I aim to show how female characters in horror fiction – namely Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” and Ari Aster’s 2019 film, Midsommar – take that abject view and reclaim it for their own power. Through this reclamation, women are able to gain control from patriarchal …

Emergent Women's Global Political Leadership: Progress Despite Constraints, Aoife Meehan Jan 2020

Emergent Women's Global Political Leadership: Progress Despite Constraints, Aoife Meehan

Dissertations and Theses

“Emergent Women’s Global Political Leadership: Progress Despite Constraints” seeks to trace why and how female political leaders emerge at the global level. Evidence points to certain cultural factors, often expressed by laws, constraining or supporting women as they seek political advancement. Data shows women leaders are emerging more and more, though slowly, as political leaders around the world. Reviewing women’s participation and representation regionally and nationally in parliaments, as ministers, and as heads of governments and states confirms that women can and do emerge as political leaders. Finally, learning about and examining women leaders themselves, their style and substance, proves …
