"I Unsex'd My Dress": Lord Byron's Seduction Of Gender In "The Corsair", "Lara", And "Don Juan", Alexis Spiceland Lee
"I Unsex'd My Dress": Lord Byron's Seduction Of Gender In "The Corsair", "Lara", And "Don Juan", Alexis Spiceland Lee
Dissertations
The goal of this project is to posit a theory of how Byron’s texts, specifically through the development of his hero, construct gender and sexuality as styles of seduction that resist easy classification by binary systems. I propose that Byron’s works characterize gender through ironic performances of seduction that, because they reveal that binary structures lack a stable core, dissolve systemic differentiation and thus fatally complicate any attempt to force the individual into rigid categories of gender or sexual identity. Byron’s works deploy seduction as a tactic of ironic representation of both gender and sexual practice that is necessarily multiplicitous …
Ecos De Barro De La Memoria A La Imagen De La Imagen Al Poema, Rossy Evelin Lima-Padilla
Ecos De Barro De La Memoria A La Imagen De La Imagen Al Poema, Rossy Evelin Lima-Padilla
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
En este trabajo se analizarán los factores que guían hacia la realización de mi escritura creativa. Se explorará el papel de la memoria como vehículo que reproduce las imágenes después de haber sido transformadas por los sentidos para representar las experiencias personales y el registro que se obtiene por medio de la observación. Se considerará también el aspecto de identidad inmigrante que se obtiene de la percepción que se va adquiriendo de sí mismo de acuerdo a la relación que se tiene con el entorno. Este trabajo resulta de suma importancia porque incorpora la idea de que el poeta escribe …
The Impact Of Caesar Augustus On Roman Trade, William Edwin Wilson
The Impact Of Caesar Augustus On Roman Trade, William Edwin Wilson
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
This paper studies Gaius Julius Octavian Caesar (Augustus) who combined the military/political expertise of a Roman Patrician with the practical business sense of the upper middle class (Equites) and as a consequence, his administration revived Rome’s economic fortunes and launched a new period of economic prosperity for the Empire. It also explores the specific actions of Augustus and those near to him that led directly to the revival of Rome’s economic fortunes and the remodeling of Rome and its many celebrated monuments and essential buildings. It concludes with a final summation of the man and his contributions to Rome’s success …
Applying Authentic Learning To Social Science: A Learning Design For An Inter-Disciplinary Sociology Subject, Fiona Borthwick, Sue Bennett, Geraldine E. Lefoe, Elaine Huber
Applying Authentic Learning To Social Science: A Learning Design For An Inter-Disciplinary Sociology Subject, Fiona Borthwick, Sue Bennett, Geraldine E. Lefoe, Elaine Huber
Geraldine Lefoe
As universities move towards more vocationally oriented courses, students expect pedagogic practices that make closer ties to potential workplaces. The pedagogical approach of authentic learning is well suited to this purpose as it proposes an apprenticeship-type model and a model that brings simulated work tasks into the classroom. In the social sciences, authentic learning is under-utilised and under-theorised as these subject areas do not fit easily into these models. An alternative model of authentic learning aims to offer students opportunities to .enmind. the requirements of a discipline, be critically reflective about that discipline, and to develop the skills to bring …
Chief Lawyer Of The Nez Perce: Reassessing The Career Of A Cultural Broker, Daniel R. Gibbs
Chief Lawyer Of The Nez Perce: Reassessing The Career Of A Cultural Broker, Daniel R. Gibbs
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Chief Lawyer of the Nez Perce has been misunderstood for over 150 years. The purpose of this thesis is to dispel the myth of the good/bad dichotomy about a two-dimensional Chief Lawyer. A man lacking any deeper motives than to gain favor with the Whites and get what he could for himself before the offer at hand was removed from the negotiating table. By reexamining the literature with new eyes one might apply a different paradigm exposing another dimension to Lawyer’s character, one that has long been overlooked. This study will use the concept of the “working misunderstanding” as its …

Texas Rangers To Border Patrol The Shift In Border Security In The 1920'S: The Legacy Of Undemocratic And Often Violent Origins, Rodolfo Arriaga
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
This study will explore the history of the United States Border Patrol (USBP) along the U.S./Mexico Border of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Texas, its position as defender of the border between Anglo Saxon Americans and ethnic Mexicans, and the repression of that history by the legitimizing actors within Texas and the United States. The shift of border security from the Texas Rangers to the USBP in 1924 resulted in ethnic Mexicans in Texas viewing the USBP not only in a negative manner but with an ethnic cultural phobia. That the result of former Texas Rangers being employed by the …
‘Diversa De Mí Misma’: Silence As Performative Resistance In Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, Marcia A. Caltabiano-Ponce
‘Diversa De Mí Misma’: Silence As Performative Resistance In Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, Marcia A. Caltabiano-Ponce
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s silences, including her final and mysterious withdrawal from letters, were not empty spaces at all but highly loaded performative resistances to patriarchal control. My work is based on Judith Butler's poststructural theory on performance and subject construction, with support from postcolonial and feminist theories. The approach is a break from the historical and popular gendered discourses that surround her final years, one that explores the loaded gaps and borders that provide liminal spaces for the transcendence of her voice and gender over the ages. I address the research, speculation, and theories that have misread …
El Huisache Es Pocho, Pero Las Raíces No: Poems, Isaac Chavarria
El Huisache Es Pocho, Pero Las Raíces No: Poems, Isaac Chavarria
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
This project is a collection of pocho poetry. The poems in my collection emphasize my identity as pocho. The term “pocho” is often used as a derogatory term describing a Mexican American who has lost the ability to speak Spanish. I recontextualize the border pocho as an occupant of two nationalities, as well as several social classes. Along with poets who identify themselves as Chicano/a, I am inspired by family and acquaintances who self identify as Chicano/a, Hispanic, Mexican American, or Mexican. I believe the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas is a unique enclave influenced by its people, landscape, …

With His Guitar In His Hand: Representations Of U.S. - Mexico Border Masculinity In Robert Rodriguez's “El Mariachi”, Marlene Galvan
With His Guitar In His Hand: Representations Of U.S. - Mexico Border Masculinity In Robert Rodriguez's “El Mariachi”, Marlene Galvan
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
This thesis closely examines Robert Rodriguez’s film El Mariachi and its portrayal of border masculinity - the masculine identity which exists on the physical space between the U.S. and Mexico, but also the masculinity created by the melding of cultures. The film ignores this complexity and instead dichotomizes maleness along the traditionally Western lines of hard versus soft masculinity. Further, the film glorifies violence, the exploitation of female bodies, shows women as only useful agents of man, punishes transgressive women, and depicts men as only possessing or aspiring to possess individualistic, economic, phallocentric, and patriarchal power which reinforces a variation …
