My Sinful Self: The Self As Enemy, Steven D. Paulson Jan 2008

My Sinful Self: The Self As Enemy, Steven D. Paulson

Faculty Publications

“We have met the enemy, and he is us,” said Pogo. The “us” is our sinful self, which can be disposed of only by dying to faith in our own power to believe and rising to faith as the daily gift of Christ. For this, we need a preacher, the bringer of an external word to which we can cling

Review Of Efflux Pump Overexpression Resistance Mechanisms For Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Gregory Burkman Jan 2008

Review Of Efflux Pump Overexpression Resistance Mechanisms For Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Gregory Burkman

Quill & Scope

The complexities of infectious diseases are not limited to one specialty, but rather encompass all types of physician care. One of the many present difficulties is the prevention, management, and treatment of microorganism resistance. In this review article, one method of acquired resistance possible to many bacteria, in particular Pseudomonas aeruginosa is described. This gram negative bacterium is able to induce an overexpression of efflux pumps that can eject intracellular antibiotics into the extracellular space, thereby avoiding cellular death. In P. aeruginosa four efflux pumps have been studied, which all have the ability to extrude specific classes of antibiotics. This …

Pipe Dream: Eugene O'Neill's Rhetoric Of Tragedy, Ryan Francis Murphy Jan 2008

Pipe Dream: Eugene O'Neill's Rhetoric Of Tragedy, Ryan Francis Murphy

Theses Digitization Project

This thesis applies a rhetorical lens to the work of Eugene O'Neill, specifically, those plays written between the years 1939 and 1942-the height of his dramatic genius. This thesis works to reimagine Eugene O'Neill, often looked upon as "lacking rhetorical exuberance," as a distinctive and successful rhetor, in addition to installing the "pipe dream" as his foremost rhetorical device.


The Materiality Of The Female In Shirley Jackson's Short Fiction, Lydia Marie Pearson Jan 2008

The Materiality Of The Female In Shirley Jackson's Short Fiction, Lydia Marie Pearson

Theses Digitization Project

Shirley Jackson's fiction continues to be placed within the gothic horror genre because of its supernatural and horror images. I contend the major focus of her work is her critique of the social norms constructed for women by an archaic and inauthentic patriarchial system of rules and domestic expectation for women that result in madness for the resisting female.


Compensations For Exile: A Lacanian Analysis Of Aeneas's Destiny And Dido's Tragedy In Virgil's Aeneid, Jessica Marie Hayes Jan 2008

Compensations For Exile: A Lacanian Analysis Of Aeneas's Destiny And Dido's Tragedy In Virgil's Aeneid, Jessica Marie Hayes

Theses Digitization Project

This thesis will attempt to show that Dido's Tragedy, rather than reinforcing or celebrating a patriotic version of Homer's heroic code, offers a critical view of the suffering involved in the founding of a new nation, and thus of Aeneas's Destiny.


Religion In Language Policy, And The Survival Of Syriac, Ibrahim George Aboud Jan 2008

Religion In Language Policy, And The Survival Of Syriac, Ibrahim George Aboud

Theses Digitization Project

Throughout Islamic era, the Syriac language remained the language of the majority despite Arabic hegemony. The decline of the Syriac accompanied the decline of Christianity in the East, and was affected by the policies of rival religious and nationalist groups. By considering the current conditions under which Syriac speakers live, and the renewed interest in reviving the language among Christian communities in the modern Fertile Crescent, this thesis will examine the causes of decline over the centuries, and the possibilities for the revival of Syriac in modern times. The present research examines how religion contributed to the shaping of language …


George Orwell And The Rhetoric Of Tyranny, Charlene Ann Stark Jan 2008

George Orwell And The Rhetoric Of Tyranny, Charlene Ann Stark

Theses Digitization Project

This thesis examines Orwell's language theories and how rhetoric affects our civil liberities, specifically since 9/11. Rights are often taken for granted, but in fact our civil liberties are constantly reinterpreted and are affected by political rhetoric.


The Use Of Violence As Feminist Rhetoric: Third-Wave Feminism In Tarantino's Kill Bill Films, Leah Andrea Katona Jan 2008

The Use Of Violence As Feminist Rhetoric: Third-Wave Feminism In Tarantino's Kill Bill Films, Leah Andrea Katona

Theses Digitization Project

For the purpose of this thesis, the main focus of the feminist rhetorical criticism method was specifically linked to gender-related power inequities. This method was especially appropriate for the analysis of how film violence is used as a feminist rhetorical strategy in the Kill Bill films. This thesis is more closely aligned with challenging rhetorical standards as it sought to identify feminist counter positions of rhetoric in film violence.


No Place To Stand: The Incoherent Legal World Of J. K. Rowling, Kenneth Schneyer Jan 2008

No Place To Stand: The Incoherent Legal World Of J. K. Rowling, Kenneth Schneyer

Humanities Department Faculty Publications & Research

It is astonishing, when one thinks of it, that a series of children's books is so crammed with law. Not one of the seven Harry Potter novels fails to explore difficult issues law, interpretation and especially the relationship of the state to the individual. From practically the first page of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (SS) we ponder issues of child custody, fosterage and adoption;1 before Harry even gets to Hogwarts we have heard about crime and punishment,2 legal control over the use of magic,3 monetary policy,4 and Wizarding government.5 Before the series is complete we have witnessed five …


Language Endangerment In West Africa: Its Victims And Causes, George Tucker Childs Jan 2008

Language Endangerment In West Africa: Its Victims And Causes, George Tucker Childs

Applied Linguistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

This paper catalogues the forces at work threatening the Atlantic languages of Guinea and Sierra Leone. Compared to Mande, the other major language group in the area, and to figures for Africa in general (Sommer 1992), the Atlantic Group is beset by ominous forces. These include what could be considered ecological features (e.g., Mufwene 2001): the Mande Expansion (Niane 1989), colonialism, the spread of Islam, and globalization. There are other forces to be sure, such as the influence of Christian missions (Welmers 1971; cf. Mühlhäusler 1990), urbanization (a sub-category, perhaps, of globalization), and climatic changes (Brooks 1993, Fairhead and Leach …
