Seeking The Rhetoric Of Jesus, Susan L. Trollinger

English Faculty Publications

I come to the questions posed by this volume from a somewhat different background than one might expect. Whereas one might anticipate that I was an Anabaptist first and a scholar second, just the opposite was the case. I Before beginning my graduate studies I had never heard of Anabaptism. Indeed, I was poring over Aristotle's Rhetoric before I was even a Christian. I thus went through much of my graduate studies (not to mention all of college, high school, and elementary school) without giving a thought to how my studies were impacting my faith-never mind how my faith might …

Preface, George Critchlow

Journal of Hate Studies

The Gonzaga Institute for Action Against Hate was founded by Gonzaga University in 1998 to fight hate through education, research, and advocacy. Its genesis derived from concerns surrounding the apparent increase in the phenomenon of hate—especially racial and religious hate—as it manifested itself on campuses and in communities throughout the country. The prevalence of hate crimes, organized hate groups, and hateful Internet sites prompted the University community to reflect upon ways that Gonzaga—a Jesuit institution —might provide a more enduring and substantive contribution to the understanding of how hate afflicts campus life, community life, society in general, and the world. …

The Sound Of Meaning: Theories Of Voice In Twentieth-Century Thought And Performance, Andrew Mccomb Kimbrough

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation addresses the problem of the denigration of the voice in poststructural theory and contemporary performance criticism. The problem has antecedents in twentieth-century language philosophy. Saussure defines language as a compendium of arbitrary words recognized according to the degrees of phonetic difference between them. Since for Saussure the arbitrary words of language also designate arbitrary concepts, he concludes that the sounds of words cannot be thought constituent of their sense. After Saussure, structuralism dislodges the voice from its privileged position in the phonologic discourses of Western thought. Poststructuralism views meaning as a product of socially constructed language systems, and …

The Works Of Manuel Quiroga: A Catalogue, Ana Luque Fernandez

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Manuel Quiroga Losada (1892-1961), violinist, composer, and artist, was one of the foremost figures of the first half of the 20th century. This study tries to bring to light his musical legacy, a long overdue task. Until now, all attempts to rediscover the figure of Quiroga have centered mainly on his career as a violinist, his recordings or his paintings, however not on his compositions. This document is an inventory of the forty-four pieces for violin solo, violin and piano, and violin and orchestra written by Quiroga. Manuel Quiroga mainly wrote for the violin in the form of short pieces …

Neo-Onnagata: Professional Cross-Dressed Actors And Their Roles On The Contemporary Japanese Stage, William Hamilton Armstrong Iv

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Neo-Onnagata: Professional Cross-dressed Actors and Their Roles on the Contemporary Japanese Stage explores the representation of male and female gender in the contemporary Japanese theatre. I particularly discuss a specialized subset of Japanese actor: the neo-onnagata, a contemporary theatre counterpart to Japan's highly stylized classical kabuki tradition of cross-dressed representation. This dissertation represents my attempt to provide these basic aims: to situate the contemporary Japanese cross-dresser in Japanese tradition, to show how cross-dressing acts as a sharp social commentary and mirror, and to introduce some little-represented cross-dressing actors of the contemporary Japanese stage to the academic community at large. In …

An Introduction To American Song Composer Daron Aric Hagen (B.1961) And His Miniature Folk Opera: Dear Youth, Jane Mccalla Redding

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

American composer Daron Aric Hagen (b. 1961) is emerging as one of America's brightest young composers of the twenty-first century. Ned Rorem, the champion of American art song, believes Hagen to be a composer of great ability and skill. This study deals with the miniature folk opera Dear Youth (1990) which is composed of eight songs for soprano, piano, and flute. The songs are "The Bonnie Blue Flag" (Ketchum), "I Stop Again" (Ropes), "The Picture Graved Into My Heart" (Ropes), "The Trouble Was Tom..." (Anonymous), "The Lord Knows" (Smith), "O, for Such a Dream" (Smith), "Christmas Night" (Ingram), and "...Silently …

Violence And The Scapegoat In American Film: 1967-1999, Paul E. Graham Iii

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This study addresses the proliferation of cinematic violence since the demise of the MPAA’s Production Code in 1966. Bonnie and Clyde and The Wild Bunch were films that projected violence to comment on the civil fervent caused by the Vietnam War. Yet the floodgates these films opened allowed for virtually unlimited and graphic displays of bloodshed to redden big screens for the next three decades. Using the theories of René Girard, namely the scapegoating motif, this study proposes readings of film that, through cinematic ambiguity, contain humanitarian statements against violence by examining the consequences of using force to cause pain. …

The "Minor" Author And The Major Editor: A Case Study In Determining The Canon, Christopher Andrew Healy

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation explores the relationship between a literary work and its printed edition in the production of reputation--the editor as gatekeeper of the reputation of a “minor” poet. That relationship is demonstrated through a case study on the effects of the nineteenth-century edition of the works of the fifteenth-century poet Thomas Hoccleve and an analysis of the lingering effects of the Foucauldian “editor-function.” The number of surviving manuscripts indicates that Hoccleve’s work was well-regarded during the early fifteenth century, but his reputation fell with that of other non-Chaucerian medieval poets as later critics lost linguistic familiarity with Middle English. The …

Men Who Batter: An Examination Of A Typology In Batterers Completing Treatment, Karla A. Lusby

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Attrition in all forms of therapy is a challenge however treatment programs for men who batter face special concerns. Recent studies indicate that 60% to 80% of men who complete treatment programs are no longer physically abusive toward their partners. The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with high attrition rate in treatment programs for men who batter. It was expected that previously researched demographic and attitudinal variables would predict attrition. Twelve predictor variables were selected from a series of intake documents completed by all subjects before acceptance into the program. Fifty-nine archival records from a private …

Malwina As A Female Heroine, Sharon Stamps

Resources

This story, Die Brunnengäste, was actually an intriguing, entertaining read. I read in anticipation along with the characters who waited to discover the reason for Malwina and Adelbert's secret marriage. Although the resolution of the story didn't match the action-packed movie "thrillers" of today, it satisfied me and was believable. Since I enjoyed the story, there are several things that I can think to write about. As I began the story, Malwina seemed a little like Jutta in Jenseits der Mauer, in the descriptions by others. As it progressed, I found less correlation between the two. I would like to …

A Hidden Glimpse At Old Thailand? The "Siam Episode" In Fontane's Novel Unwiederbringlich, Reinhold Grimm

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

Hardly ever do images of Thai or Thailand occur in German literature. Granted, there exists an early if seemingly isolated forerunner from the 17th century: namely, Heinrich Anshelm von Zigler und Kliphausen's voluminous Baroque novel entitled Die asiatische Banise ("The Asian Banise" [which is the name of the heroine]). I adduced it, and briefly discussed its opening scene, in my talk "What is a Good Dramatic Text? A German's Answer to a Thai's Question: that I gave in Bangkok almost a decade ago, and which was subsequently published, in a Thai translation by Chetana Nagavajara, in Silpakorn University's Journal of …

The Influence Of Second Language Experience In The Pattern Of Language Processing Of The Bilingual Lexicon, P. Sudasna, S. Luksaneeyanawin, D. Burnham

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

The present experimental research studies whether Thai-English bilinguals' language experience in their non-native language influences the pattern of language processing of the bilingual lexicon. Two groups of 100 native Thai bilingual speakers with high or low English language experience were asked to perform Stroop Interference Tasks, with the processing of word forms being either Thai or English and the processing in colour naming also being either Thai or English. The results showed that when the processing of word forms was in Thai, there was more intra- than interlingual interference, and that the degree of interference was equivalent between the two …

Another 'Siam Episode' In A Fontane Novel, Reinhold Grimm

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

Recently, in Manusya's 5.1 issue of 2002, I published an essay entitled "A Hidden Glimpse at Old Thailand? The 'Siam Episode' in Fontane's Novel Unwiederbringlich." Meanwhile, in the course of my continued studies of that author's narrative oeuvre, I hit upon yet another such episode which may, who knows, prove to be even more revealing - but likewise perhaps, even more enigmatic - than the former. It occurs in Fontane's last novel, Der Stechlin, which as a book appeared only posthumously, in 1899 ("Stechlin," by the way, is the name of a lake in the Brandenburg March in erstwhile Prussia …

The Culture Of The Huayao Dai And Its Prospects: Comparative Research On The Cultural Characteristics Of The Dai Peoples Living In The Upper Reaches Of The Red River, Zheng Xiaoyun

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

Tai people, formally known as of Dai nationality in China, number 1.1 million. One of the greatest concentrated region of Dai peopleinChina is the reaches of the Red River, called the Yuan Jing River. Here their ethnic culture is particularly to be found. The Dai people of the Red River number about 150,000 which is 13% of the totalDai population of China. Furthermore about half of those 150,000 live in Xin Ping and Yuan Jian countries, on the upper reaches of the river. Traditionally, the Dai people of the upper Red River were called Huayao Dai, or "Flower Waist" Dai, …

Searching For The Red Hue: Problems And Prospects For Global Norms, E.R. Klein

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

This paper argues for the establishment of global norms and rejects relativism. This is accomplished, not through the usual avenues of explicit epistemic justification, but through an exploration of the more subtle and fundamental values of aesthetics. Klein illustrates this process through the example of red clay architecture of Fatehpur Sikri, and urges theorists to take seriously the search for transcultural objective truths. "You can't believe how they loved it," Geeta says. "Somany people loving to bow down and say, Sir, Sir, we just love America." "India and the U.S. as the two great democracies," Vivan adds. "India and America …
