The Memory Of Forgotten Things, Brittany Metz
The Memory Of Forgotten Things, Brittany Metz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis investigates my lack of childhood memories and documents how my artwork stands in as a substitute for that lost memory. The first part of the thesis analyzes my early life and influences; the second part analyzes my art making and process. The narrative style of writing is intentionally autobiographical to mimic the narrative style and structure of the thesis installation. My upbringing, interests, creative process, access to materials, and inspiration are fully explored. The impact my early life has on my current work is evident. Real memory is combined with created memory in the thesis multi-media installation. I …
The Individual Behind The Image Female Idols In Their Various Forms, Patricia Lois Nuss
The Individual Behind The Image Female Idols In Their Various Forms, Patricia Lois Nuss
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The research investigated the artistic and photographic processes corresponding with two studies motivated by the artist's personal history and focused on the role, affect, and history of various female idols represented in art history, religion, and modern American popular media. The first part of the study documented female models as they were simultaneously asked by the artist to think of a range of personal but nonspecific moments from her life, the women were asked not to share their thoughts, only the moment spent thinking, with the artist. The second part of the study documented aspiring models as they awoke during …
Typographic And Image Explorations, Ben Rupp
Typographic And Image Explorations, Ben Rupp
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
These typographic and image based designs explore multiple components of design including: legibility, manipulation, communication, and conventionalism with an emphasis on information graphics. Drawing from influences of the Futurist designers and Dadaist typography, I take the mundane details of an object such as a baseball or car to create excessive amounts of visually stimulating graphics. Through this process of gathering detailed information, I take photographs, draw by hand and scan images to fully understand and portray an objects identity until I feel satisfied that the objects visual potential has been exhausted. These personal expressions are combined to form printed material …
Intelligent Design, Jillian Amistoso Dudziak
Intelligent Design, Jillian Amistoso Dudziak
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As human beings we are designed and created in a fabric that is profound and complex. We are built with a framework where mind and body work in a concerted effort to maintain our lives automatically. A deep and defining part of our existence as humans is not just the innate desire to live but to live in consistent well-being--emotionally, physically, and mentally. I believe when we incorporate our knowledge of human physiology into our creative process then we allow ourselves a greater opportunity to create an authentic connection with our intended audience. My work during the past three years …
Somali Piracy And The Introduction Of Somalia To The Western World, Daniel A. Jean-Jacques
Somali Piracy And The Introduction Of Somalia To The Western World, Daniel A. Jean-Jacques
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis investigates the origins of the modern phenomenon of Somali piracy within a deeper historical context. More specifically, this analysis concentrates on the development of piracy in the north of the country. It is here contended that Somali piracy is, in fact, the product of the confluence of three historical currents. The first of these currents is the progressive degeneration of traditional Somali institutions due to exposure to the colonial and global markets. The second is the increasing reliance of northern Somalis on maritime resources due to over exploitation of the land and the fishing initiatives of the Barre …
The North Comes South Northern Methodists In Florida During Reconstruction, Heather K. Bollinger
The North Comes South Northern Methodists In Florida During Reconstruction, Heather K. Bollinger
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines three groups of northern Methodists who made their way to north Florida during Reconstruction: northern white male Methodists, northern white female Methodists, and northern black male and female Methodists. It analyzes the ways in which these men and women confronted the differences they encountered in Florida‟s southern society as compared to their experiences living in a northern society. School catalogs, school reports, letters, and newspapers highlight the ways in which these northerners explained the culture and behaviors of southern freedmen and poor whites in Jacksonville, Gainesville, and Monticello. This study examines how these particular northern men and …
The Ancient City Occupied St. Augustine As A Test Case For Stephen Ash's Civil War Occupation Model, Eric Paul Totten
The Ancient City Occupied St. Augustine As A Test Case For Stephen Ash's Civil War Occupation Model, Eric Paul Totten
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis intends to prove that Stephen V. Ash’s model of occupation from his work, When the Yankees Came: Conflict and Chaos in the Occupied South, is applicable to St. Augustine’s occupation experience in the Civil War. Three overarching themes in Ash’s work are consistent with Civil War St. Augustine. First, that Union policy of conciliation towards southern civilians was abandoned after the first few months of occupation due to both nonviolent and violent resistance from those civilians. Second, that Ash’s “zones of occupation” of the occupied South, being garrisoned towns, no-man’s-land, and the Confederate frontier apply to St. Augustine …
The Whiteman's Seminole White Manhood, Indians And Slaves, And The Second Seminole War, Francis Mahan Iv
The Whiteman's Seminole White Manhood, Indians And Slaves, And The Second Seminole War, Francis Mahan Iv
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study demonstrates that both government officials‟ and the settlers‟ perceptions of the Seminoles and Black Seminoles in Florida were highly influenced by their paternalistic and Jeffersonian world views. These perceptions also informed their policies concerning the Seminoles and Black Seminoles. The study is separated into three sections. The first chapter covers the years of 1820-1823. This section argues that until 1823, most settlers and government officials viewed the Seminoles as noble savages that were dependent on the U.S. Furthermore, most of these individuals saw the Black Seminoles as being secure among the Seminole Indians and as no threat to …
A Fractured Foundation Discontinuities In Acadian Resettlement, 1755-1803, Leanna Thomas
A Fractured Foundation Discontinuities In Acadian Resettlement, 1755-1803, Leanna Thomas
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study examines the social, cultural, and political discontinuities found among Acadians who settled in Louisiana after their deportation from Atlantic Canada in 1755. Historians studying the Acadians’ early years of arrival and resettlement in Louisiana have drawn readers’ attention to the preservation of Acadian cultural and social attributes. These works tell how in spite of their need to adapt to life in a southern borderland region, the Acadians who arrived in Louisiana retained important qualities of their pre-dispersal identity. Such studies have served well in deconstructing the “Evangeline” myth created through Henry Longfellow’s epic poem, yet at the same …
Place-Names, Conquest, And Empire: Spanish And Amerindian Conceptions Of Place In The New World, Gene Rhea Tucker
Place-Names, Conquest, And Empire: Spanish And Amerindian Conceptions Of Place In The New World, Gene Rhea Tucker
History Dissertations - Archive
This research corrects the one-sided historiography of toponyms in the New World, which focus only on the European imposition of place-names, viewed by many postmodernist scholars as a way to oppress and suppress the native Indians. Instead this transatlantic dissertation recognizes that the Spanish brought patterns of place-naming created in the Old World over to the New World. The naming of the New World was not a unilateral Spanish undertaking. The Spanish did create new toponyms in the Americas. They described the land, honored their Catholic faith and their nobility, and they transferred Old World place-names to the New World--but …
Missiological Imagination As A Pedagogical Tool: African And Asian Christians In Conversion, Benjamin Hartley
Missiological Imagination As A Pedagogical Tool: African And Asian Christians In Conversion, Benjamin Hartley
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
This article provides an example of how mission history may be utilized in imaginative ways to promote student reflection about missiology. The article first presents biographical portraits of three Christian leaders from Africa and Asia in the late eighteenth century with respect to three missiological themes (migration, empire, and theology of evangelism). The second section of the essay is a fictitious and imaginative conversation among these three historical characters and me, the author, where questions are posed concerning these same themes. The article concludes with pedagogical reflections on the use of a similar exercise with students.
Charles Cullis, Gaetano Conte, And The Reconfiguration Of The Evangelical Holiness Movement In Boston, 1860-1905, Benjamin Hartley
Charles Cullis, Gaetano Conte, And The Reconfiguration Of The Evangelical Holiness Movement In Boston, 1860-1905, Benjamin Hartley
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
Excerpt: "In contrast to the presenters before and after me, my presentation focuses on the lives of two individuals rather than one. Charles Cullis (1833-1892) and Gaetano Conte (1859-1917) both represent a kind of “new beginning” for some sectors of Protestant religion in Boston and thus fit particularly well into our panel’s attempt to explore the somewhat paradoxical theme of “strangers in a strange land” of New England. I’ve chosen these two figures because of their influence in re-shaping the evangelical movement in Boston and their relative obscurity in spite of the fame they both shared during their own day. …
Funerary Iconography On An Infant Burial Jar From Ashkelon, Brian R. Doak, Kathleen Birney
Funerary Iconography On An Infant Burial Jar From Ashkelon, Brian R. Doak, Kathleen Birney
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
The 2007 season of the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon unearthed a remarkable intramural infant jar burial, bearing roughly incised images on both sides. While a number of intramural infant burials have been recovered from late twelfth–eleventh century levels at the site, this jar is the first burial to reveal anything about the funerary beliefs and rituals that might be associated with such practices. The iconography itself is unique within the Philistine milieu, as well as within the broader context of Syro-Palestinian funerary imagery, instead echoing Egyptian funerary motifs. After a brief discussion of the jar and its archaeological context …

On Being Us: Who Are We, And What Is This Book About? - Chapter 1 Of "Being At Home In The World: A New Christian Apologetic", Mark Mcleod-Harrison, Phil D. Smith
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
This chapter introduces the authors and explains why we have written a book of Christian apologetics. It is important that the authors introduce themselves, because our apologetic procedure is personal. We do not offer a cool, detached, objective argument; instead, we extend an invitation.
The Origin And Development Of The Johannine Egō Eimi Sayings In Cognitive-Critical Perspective, Paul N. Anderson
The Origin And Development Of The Johannine Egō Eimi Sayings In Cognitive-Critical Perspective, Paul N. Anderson
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
Th e long-held critical judgment that the I-am sayings of Jesus in the Fourth Gospel have no connection at all with the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth is based primarily on the inference that they are entirely missing from the Synoptics. As a result, John has been expunged from Jesus research, assuming its patent ahistoricity; yet critical analyses have largely overlooked Johannine- Synoptic similarities. While the Johannine presentation of Jesus’ I-am sayings is indeed distinctive and highly theological, it cannot be claimed that either the I-am convention of speech or its predicate metaphors and themes are absent from the Synoptics. …
The Current Ethiopian Experience, Sahai Redleaf
The Current Ethiopian Experience, Sahai Redleaf
Whittier Scholars Program
The objective of this project is to understand the causes of growth and development (or lack thereof) that influence nations by examining Ethiopia’s economy and the political dynamics. In this research, Ethiopia’s history highlights major factors that influence tyrannical patterns within political parties, especially within the last few decades. Utilizing an economic approach, the project examined Ethiopia’s growth performance from 1989 to 2007. The Penn World Tables are the primary source of the data used to analyze figures of GDP per capita, adjusted by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This allows for prices to be adjusted so that a product in …
Utopia Reconsidered: Two Levels Of Perfection In Society, Jason Lepojärvi
Utopia Reconsidered: Two Levels Of Perfection In Society, Jason Lepojärvi
Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology
Every person has wondered whether idealism without naïveté or realism without cynicism is possible. In common parlance, utopia is not only eu-topic (a place of the good), but also forever a-topic (without place). Who is right: the idealist who believes, or the realist who disbelieves, in the possibility of a perfect society? This article suggests that utopia both is and is not possible. There are two ways to understand the idea of a ‘‘perfect society.’’ In an absolutely perfect society there is no reality of sin. Given this reality, however, in some societies it nonetheless is easier to be good. …
Toward A Theory Of Narrative Rhetoric, Edwardo Raul Perez
Toward A Theory Of Narrative Rhetoric, Edwardo Raul Perez
English Dissertations - Archive
This dissertation suggests that the question of whether or not America should employ torture as a means of fighting a post-9/11 War on Terror was not so much debated as it was asserted (in the affirmative) by the presidential administration of George W. Bush and the news media contemporary to his administration. Building on an observation by media researcher Sasha Torres, who recognized a representation of thinking on television that served to counter the Bush Administration and the media, this dissertation investigates how television functioned as an alternate forum for a debate on torture by examining the narratives of three …
The Pueblo Ground: How Pueblo Indians Shaped Colonial Relations With The Spanish In 17th Century New Mexico, Michelle Daneri
The Pueblo Ground: How Pueblo Indians Shaped Colonial Relations With The Spanish In 17th Century New Mexico, Michelle Daneri
Whittier Scholars Program
This project begins with with a definition of Pueblo culture surrounding religion, dwellings, and rituals. This research paper highlights Pueblo historical context, it also refutes the discourse surrounding colonial history that suggests that the story of colonization is one in which colonizers dominate while also using Kathleen DuVal’s The Native Ground as a framework for looking at colonial relations in New Mexico. This research explores Pueblo society, cultural expectations, and Francisco Vazquez de Coronado’s journey.
An Investigation Into How Greater Financial Stability Can Be Achieved For Portugal’S National Museums Under Management Of The Portuguese Institute Of Museums And Conservation (Imc), Luis Ramos Pinto
MA Theses
The European sovereign debt crisis has led to considerable cuts in public funding for the arts. Portugal, one of the countries most affected by the crisis has recently seen consistent public cuts for its cultural organizations. With the prospect of continued budget cuts, this paper seeks to examine how Portugal's largest public institute for the management of museums and built heritage the IMC (Instituto de Museus e Conservação) can seek to generate more private revenue and lower its costs in order to garner greater financial stability for itself. The research, based primarily on financial information dating up to 2010 looks …
Reconciling The Controversy Of Animal Cruelty And The Shoah: A Look At Primo Levi's Compassionate Writings, Ilona Klein
Reconciling The Controversy Of Animal Cruelty And The Shoah: A Look At Primo Levi's Compassionate Writings, Ilona Klein
Faculty Publications
Is it ethically admissible to compare the suffering of Jews during World War II to the general suffering of animals in the Western world? Who considers this parallel to be morally obscene, and who supports the comparison? Based on the historical evidence of Nazis insulting Jews with animal verbiage and herding them into the gas chambers of concentration camps, this study looks at a few textual examples by the Italian Jewish author Primo Levi, finding a conciliatory position in his poetry and prose.
Foreign Language Housing In The United States: Results Of A Nationwide Survey, Wendy Baker-Smemoe, Dan P. Dewey, Jennifer Brown, Rob A. Martinsen
Foreign Language Housing In The United States: Results Of A Nationwide Survey, Wendy Baker-Smemoe, Dan P. Dewey, Jennifer Brown, Rob A. Martinsen
Faculty Publications
FOREIGN language housing (FLH), residences on or near college campuses where speakers of the same foreign language live together, have been a part of United States higher education since 1914 (Jordan). As Gregory Wolf points out, “Ideally, the language house is a hermetically sealed linguistic environment where residents agree to speak the target language” and are able to experience “everyday vernacular that is difficult for instructors to replicate in the classroom” (81). Alice Schlimbach and Emil L. Jordan note, FLH “cannot possibly be as advantageous as an extended student-tour to Germany; but it does form a second-best opportunity to come …
