El Cid And The Hero's Journey, Michael Cauley
El Cid And The Hero's Journey, Michael Cauley
The Corinthian
In spite of the immense diversity of human culture and custom, there exists a common sense of longing and loss seemingly as old as civilization itself. Each human being must abandon the security and tranquility of the amniotic paradise and venture forth into a cold and brutal world. Sigmund Freud recognized the "castration" trauma inherent in the process of birth as an original source of anxiety and neurosis in the human psyche. Many have equated this painful separation from the womb as symbolic of the larger and more painful separation from our cosmic origins, or God. This is reflected in …

Shock Therapy Salvation, Margaret Moody
The Corinthian
Flannery O'Connor saw mankind as consumed with self-righteous disposition and self-preoccupation, making it necessary to use powerful and graphic descriptions to capture the average individual's attention. She was a writer with a mission: a mission that demanded the undivided attention of her readers. She was adamant in her determination to reach what she saw as a lost and morally decaying world. Mindful of the intense changes taking place in America during the late 1950's and early 1960's-feminist movements, the Beatles, and free love, to name a few-she saw the secular world as presenting many obstacles to living a spiritual life. …

Beyond The Desert And The Sown: Settlement Intensification In Late Prehistoric Southeastern Arabia, Peter Magee
Beyond The Desert And The Sown: Settlement Intensification In Late Prehistoric Southeastern Arabia, Peter Magee
Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Faculty Research and Scholarship
Arabia lies outside the focus of most archaeologists working in western Asia and is considered to have been a periphery in the past and therefore peripheral to contemporary research interests. The reasons for this include generalized assumptions about human-environmental dynamics and a belief in the necessity of foreign intervention as a spur for innovation and change in arid environments. In this paper, these two assumptions are examined, and a case study from southeastern Arabia is presented which details evidence for indigenous adaptation and a concomitant emergence of political and economic complexity in the early first millennium B.C.

Knights In White Satin: Women Of The Ku Klux Klan, Kelli R. Kerbawy
Knights In White Satin: Women Of The Ku Klux Klan, Kelli R. Kerbawy
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
The Ku Klux Klan is often thought of as a male-dominated organization; however there is evidence that women contributed to Klan efforts and participated in their own group, Women of the KKK. This study analyzes women’s involvement within the KKK during the 1920s. Women’s participation in early progressive movements, including temperance and suffrage, served as a catalyst for women’s involvement with the KKK. This paper explores women’s roles in the Ku Klux Klan as leaders within the WKKK. From earlier social movements, women gained knowledge needed to promote and expand the WKKK and other white supremacist women’s organizations. This paper …

The Body Of Light : Poems, Alicia Matheny
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
This creative thesis explores the different facets of Pink Floyd and their music, drawing inspiration from albums varying from The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967) to Dark Side of the Moon (1973). Using images drawn from nature, the cosmos, and Pagan mythology, this thesis also incorporates biographical details found in Nicholas Schaffner’s important biography, Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey (New York: Harmony Books, 1991). There are also experiments with form in the poems, in that in many of the poems, instead of commas, there are tab spaces. Each space expresses the silence between each word. …

Interrupting The Puppet Master: (Un)Reliability And Metatextuality In Dave Eggers’S You Shall Know Our Velocity, Suzanne R. Samples
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
In 2002 Dave Eggers (who had just come off of the success of a Pulitzer Prize nominated memoir about the death of his parents and the influx of cash that ensued) published a novel titled You Shall Know Our Velocity. Within three years the novel underwent significant alterations that changed the plot’s original meaning. Most notably, some of the printings of the novel contain an additional section of text called “An Interruption” written by the best friend (Hand) of the original narrator (Will); this additional text destroys Will’s original plot and makes the reader question the reliability of the text. …
From Man To Meteor: Nineteenth Century American Writers And The Figure Of John Brown, Amanda Benigni
From Man To Meteor: Nineteenth Century American Writers And The Figure Of John Brown, Amanda Benigni
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
On November 2, 1859, John Brown laid siege to the Federal Arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, then Virginia, in an effort to seize weaponry which he planned to employ in a full scale slave insurrection. From the moment he entered the public eye during his brief trial and execution, John Brown and his legacy were figured and refigured by prominent writers and thinkers of the time. The result of this refiguring was an image under constant metamorphosis. As the image of John Brown cycled through the Civil War, it moved further and further from the actual man and became a metaphor …
Appalachian Literature And The "Red-Headed Stepchild Of Publishing:" The Writings Of Victor Depta And The Cultural Work Of Independent Presses, Kristopher Clifford
Appalachian Literature And The "Red-Headed Stepchild Of Publishing:" The Writings Of Victor Depta And The Cultural Work Of Independent Presses, Kristopher Clifford
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Over the past couple of decades, Appalachian literature has developed a strong and close relationship with independent publishing, showing the latter to be an important medium for the expression for Appalachian voice. As the attempted consolidation of the book trade into a corporate, bottom-line oriented, high-profit industry minimizes the publication of books with mere "regional" appeal at the same time that the cultural products of Appalachia, as a region, continue to be marginalized through the continued deployment of stereotypes and attitudes of inferiority, Appalachian writers find it difficult to have their books published and distributed by major publishing houses. As …
The Commodification Of Tragedy: A Critical Examination Of Contemporary Film, Harold Dawson
The Commodification Of Tragedy: A Critical Examination Of Contemporary Film, Harold Dawson
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
The commodification of tragedy is an examination of contemporary film that depicts real events of human tragedy that are imposed on human society. Commodities are the cultural products of capitalist society through which meanings are attached; nationally released film and documentary-style cinematic productions are objects for consumption that presents tragedy as a simplistic and distorted spectacle of simulated reality. Titanic, United 93, and We Are…Marshall! share the conspicuous traits of distortion in historical facts through fictionalization of the event and reduction of complexity carried out by the entertainment industry.
A Wolf Amongst The Sheep: A Sociological Approach To Understanding The German Church Struggle, Kevin L. Dingess
A Wolf Amongst The Sheep: A Sociological Approach To Understanding The German Church Struggle, Kevin L. Dingess
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Researchers pursuing the Kirchenkampf, Church Struggle, have persistently concentrated on anti-Semitism to explicate why the Protestant Churches failed at stopping the Holocaust. Former studies indicate that the Protestant Churches were ineffective at limiting the Nazi regime Essentially, this failure was accredited to the following: anti-Semitism (both past and modern), post-war resentment, common enemies or shared values between the regime and the Protestant Churches (including, Communists, Bolsheviks, Jews, and the secularism/liberalism of the Weimar Republic), and a strongly ingrained nationalism. Despite the facts that the validity of this past research has been supported numerous times over, this research observes features of …
A Functional Analysis Of English Humanities And Biochemistry Writing With Respect To Teaching University Composition, Joshua Glenn Iddings
A Functional Analysis Of English Humanities And Biochemistry Writing With Respect To Teaching University Composition, Joshua Glenn Iddings
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
This thesis examines how writing differs in both English departments and Biochemistry departments in realization at the grammatical, that is, the lexico-grammatical level; and thus, how the differing writing modes are not merely realizations of differences at the lexical level, but the grammar of the texts is affected by the different world perspectives reflected by each discipline. By analyzing the lexico-grammatical realizations in texts produced by professionals in both the English and Biochemistry disciplines, through the analysis of basic writing handbooks which are required reading for many introductory writing students, and through analysis of a survey given to full-time university …

Chemical Composition Of Late 18th- And 19th-Century Glass Beads From Western North America: Clues To Sourcing Beads, Laurie E. Burgess, Laure Dussubieux
BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers
The Sullivans Island glass bead collection at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History contains over 56,000 beads which date from the late 18th to the late 19th century. Excavated in the 1930s from a site on the Columbia River in the Plateau region of North America, this collection contains examples of most known bead varieties for this time period. Many of the beads conform to varieties that have been attributed to Bohemia, Venice, and China-three of the main bead-producing centers for this time period. One hundred and twenty-four beads were subjected to Laser-Ablation Inductively-Coupled Mass-Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analysis at the …

In Memoriam: Mary Elizabeth Good, 1930-2007, Marvin T. Smith
BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers
Bead researcher Mary Elizabeth Good died December 18, 2007. A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, she was 77 years old. Mary Elizabeth was well-known and respected as an early researcher of trade beads in North America. Her first publication, "Guebert Site: An 18th century Historic Kaskaskia Indian Village in Randolph County, Illinois" (1972), is considered a classic in bead studies. Mary Elizabeth was active in the Society of Bead Researchers, serving as Chair of the Publications Committee from 1989 to 1993, and as President of the Society from 1994 to 1996. The bead community has lost an important member.
An Archaeological Approach To Understanding The Meaning Of Beads Using The Example Of Korean National Treasure 634, A Bead From A 5th/6th-Century Royal Silla Tomb, James W. Lankton, Marjorie Bernbaum
An Archaeological Approach To Understanding The Meaning Of Beads Using The Example Of Korean National Treasure 634, A Bead From A 5th/6th-Century Royal Silla Tomb, James W. Lankton, Marjorie Bernbaum
BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers
An ancient bead is a document from the past—a message in a bottle—written in some lost symbolic language. Archaeologists try to understand that language by integrating scientific and technological approaches with the social, economic, political, and symbolic/ religious context in which the bead was found. As an example, we use Korean National Treasure 634 (NT634), a dark blue glass bead adorned with mosaic decorations of a bird, a flowering tree, and a human face, found in a 5th-6th century Korean tomb. This bead suggests its meaning by how and where it was made, and what its images may represent.

Western Indian (Mewar) Chalcolithic Beads With Special Reference To Balathal, Alok Kumar Kanungo, Virendra Nath Misra, Vasant Shinde
BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers
During the last few years, Indian archaeologists have concentrated their efforts on the investigation of sites of the 3rd to 2nd millennia B.C. in the Mewar region of western India. Unfortunately, most of the excavations have been focused on understanding the cultural sequence, settlement patterns, architecture, and pottery at the sites and have neglected the study of such important artifact categories as beads. As no final reports have been published and the excavations have been carried out by different agencies, reconstructing the bead culture of this area is very difficult. We know quite a bit about the beads of the …

Eighteenth-Century Glass Beads From The English Slaving Fort At Bunce Island, Sierra Leone, Karlis Karklins
Eighteenth-Century Glass Beads From The English Slaving Fort At Bunce Island, Sierra Leone, Karlis Karklins
BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers
While countless tons of European glass beads flowed into West Africa over the centuries, there is still relatively little information concerning what specific nations were importing over time. It was therefore of great interest to learn about two collections of beads surface collected at the site of a British slaving fort that operated on Bunce Island in the Sierra Leone estuary of coastal Sierra Leone from the late 17th to the early 19th century. Although it is impossible to assign the beads to a specific period in the fort's history, it is clear that they are of 18th-century origin and …
