Kabou Dechire Le Certificat D'Innocence De L'Afrique? (Review Of Et Si L'Afrique Refusait Le Développement By Axelle Kabou), Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

Pourquoi I' Afrique est-elle sous développée? En repondant a cette question, Axelle Kabou fait d'une pierre deux coups. D'abord, elle émet une thèse d'après laquelle I'Afrique refuserait de se développer à cause de sa léthargie. Ensuite, elle fait un réquisitoire severe en désignant du doigt I' Africain lui-meme comme source de son retard. Le refus de développement, explique-t-elle, vient d'une fausse conception manichéiste qui voit en I' Afrique une antithèse de I' Europe. Par consequent, tout emprunt des valeurs européennes indispensables au développement est vu avec méfiance. C'est ainsi qu' «à peine sortie du monde manichéiste pré-colonial, I' Afrique a …

Esquisse D'Un Nouveau Revolté Social: Le Cas De Dadou Dans L'Anté-Peuple De Sony Labou Tansi, Kasongo Mulenda Kapanga

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

La révolution est souvent l'expression (ou le résultat) d' une insatisfaction profonde ressentie par certaines couches sociales dans une communauté bien déterminée. Sa gestation et sa maturation peuvent comprendre plusieurs étapes dont trois semblent, à mon avis, indispensables pour atteindre le point d'ebullition, à savoir une très forte prise de conscience de la situation d' iniquité, une série de réflexions en vue de changer l'état stagnant des choses, et enfi n une action pour susciter le changement recherché. En premier lieu, l'individu se démarque par son désaccord avec la société en se retranchant volontairement à la marge d' un système …

Leadership, Episodes And Change In The Early Kanawha Valley, Stephen Annese Smoot

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

The frontier period of the Kanawha Valley provides an interesting example of the sometimes dramatic change that occurred on the fringes of American civilization as it inched across the continent. Within twelve years of the creation of the county, it had developed from an embattled military buffer region into a quiet backwoods town. For the first six years, Indian attacks constantly assailed the settlements along the Kanawha River. Very likely, without the quality of leadership in the towns and military posts, the population would have retreated into safer regions of Virginia. Somehow men such as George Clendenin, founder of the …

Abbott H. Thayer's Anticipation Of A Computer-Based Method Of Working, Roy R. Behrens

Faculty Work

This article describes the practice of Abbott H. Thayer (1849-1921) of working on several copies of the same painting, taking each to a different conclusion. It compares that method to the current computer-based practice of using the SAVE AS command to create copies of a digital artwork or design, which can then also be taken to different conclusions.

Gabrielle Roy: An Annotated Bibliography And Guide To Studies About The Author And Her Works, Marjorie Benedict

University Libraries Faculty Scholarship

Gabrielle Roy (1909-1983) is one of Canada's most important 20th century women writers of fiction. Born in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, a French-speaking community across the Red River from Winnipeg, Gabrielle was the youngest child in a large family. In 1929, after two years of training at the Winnipeg Normal Institute, she began a teaching career in Manitoba. Eight years later, she traveled to Europe to study dramatic art. There she began to develop her talent as a writer and wrote her first published articles. The outbreak of World War II in 1939 hastened her return to Canada where she settled in …

Oregon Soldiers And The Portland Press In The Philippine Wars Of 1898 And 1899 : How Oregonians Defined The Race Of Filipinos And The Mission Of America, Sean F. Mcenroe

Dissertations and Theses

Oregon volunteer soldiers fought two wars in the Philippines from 1898 to 1899, one against the Spanish colonial government (from May to August 1898), and one against the Philippine insurgency (beginning in February of 1899). This thesis examines the connections between Oregonians' racial characterization of Filipinos and their beliefs about the wars' purposes and moral characteristics. The source material is drawn from the personal papers of Oregon volunteer soldiers and from the Portland Oregonian.

Documentary Photography/Postmodern Commodities, Allan Radich

Theses : Honours

This honours project is divided into two parts. Part one is the written thesis. Part two is the photographic component. Part one discusses some of the practices and discourses associated with 'documentary' photography. Some documentary practices and discourses of the past can be seen to be culturally divisive. These practices and discourses were based on being, white, male and European. This ideology and its discursive modes are in conflict with contemporary photographic practices and the relevant social and cultural theories that define it. The thesis defines the discourses and practices of the modernist and postmodernist documentary photographer. It highlights the …

The Moral Panic About Raves: Newspaper Transmission And Legislation, Joel Mitchell

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

The mass media identify raves as the exclusive setting for consuming ecstasy. Ecstasy is a variety of compounds mimicking the effects of MDMA. Since ecstasy is an illegal drug often consumed at raves, moral entrepreneurs have defined raves as a threat to children and public safety. Moral entrepreneurs have mobilized to prohibit raves using legislation. I hypothesize that claims-makers have constructed in textual mass media the moral panic about raves, which resulted in legislation that was approved by moral entrepreneurs to control raves. I employed two separate studies using quantitative and qualitative methodologies to test the moral panic theory. In …

Graduate Recital In Voice, Joy Harell

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In 1753, Christian Gottfried Krause published a lied collection entitled Oden mit Melodien that laid the groundwork for a new setting of words for voice and piano. Nineteenth-century German lieder dominated influential song output and centralized the art form in Western Europe. Twentieth-century art song brings an expansion of influence beyond the German lieder tradition. This abstract introduces twentieth-century composers whose works have been selected for recital performance by Joy Harrell on July 29, 2000. The works include British composer Gustav Holst's Four Songs for Voice and Violin, opus 35, Spanish Composer Federico Mompou's Cinq Melodies, American composer Valerie Caper's …

Wedge And Bridge: A Note On The Rhetoric Of Distinction And Identification, Henry W. Johnstone, Mari Lee Mifsud

Rhetoric and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

Henry Johnstone (1970 p. 124, 1990) has advanced the slogan "Rhetoric is a wedge" to suggest the ways in which rhetoric calls attention to hitherto unnoticed consequences or assumptions, or even to features of the physical world that have escaped an audience's attention. Here, however, we intend to supplement the notion of rhetoric as "wedge" by suggesting the ways in which it is, and also must be, a "bridge."
