Hide And Seek, Tess Wilson

Art Journal

I see myself as an analyst of my surroundings. I have a predisposition for noticing and appreciating miniscule details in life. Consequently, I take photographs and make digital drawings of found objects that possess textured qualities. Whether walking to class, waiting for the train, even sitting in my kitchen at home, texture is everywhere.

My collages are meant to avoid fixity; but most especially, my collages are meant to confront the notion of abstraction and reality. Through digital imaging, I alter reality by manipulating the color, light and detail of an object at close range. To me, abstraction is a …

Family Affairs Newsletter 2014-01-17, Zack Paakkonen

Family Affairs newsletter (2004-2016)

FAMILY AFFAIRS was a free, twice-a-month, social activities newsletter for the GLBTQI (gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans/queer/intersex) community, sent out around the 1st and 15th of each month. It covered the State of Maine only. The list was begun and maintained for many years by Jean Vermette in Bangor, and later operated by Zack Paakkonen of Portland. Over the years it evolved from a social activities newsletter into a business directory, classified ad service, and community bulletin board.

The White Women's Experience In Arkansas During The American Civil War, Ellen M. Lewis

Theses and Dissertations

When war came to Arkansas there were few, if any, troops left in the state. As a result the women were left to defend themselves. While economics and geographic location were responsible for the culture of the women, it was the individual fortitude that made survivors of the female population. Arkansas was very diversified and so were the women. When Union soldiers occupied the state they interacted with the women in many different ways, from pleasant social activities to barbaric terrorism. When Confederates occupied regions of the state, they also met a variety of women and had just as varied …

Manhood And Football, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

ESPN, the Worldwide Breeder of ludicrous sports programming, reached a new low this week. The Network that brought you the biggest non-event on the annual sports calendar, the NFL draft, and then took it down another notch by televising the announcement of the NFL schedule, outdid itself once again by having a countdown to the unveiling of Mel Kiper’s mock draft. Did anyone care? Is Mel anything more than a parody of himself? Has ESPN totally lost its way? (The correct answers are no, no, and maybe.)

A Period Of Transition: Early Islamic And Umayyad Coinage, Anna Tiner

Featured Research

A study of four coins from 620 to 680 AD provides a meager yet insightful glimpse into the coinage minted by Islamic rulers during their conquest over the Holy Land and the transition of rule from the Byzantine Empire to the Islamic Caliphate. With the help of an innovative technology called Reflective Transference Image (RTI), on loan from USC, I created high-resolution images that can be adjusted with respect to light and reflectivity. Creating RTI images of the coins administers a deeper alternate perspective giving light to aspects of the coin that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Using …

Compositing 3d Computer Generated Images And Live Footage, Ryan Jensen, Cameron Earle, Dr. Brent Adams

Journal of Undergraduate Research

3D imagery is used to enhance traditional film footage in all areas of the film and video industry. In order to be prepared for industry, it is necessary for students to be familiar with the process of putting live and computer generated images together in a believable fashion. Because of the recent beginning of the Animation majors at BYU, this technique has not been sufficiently taught to students. We were able to learn and use this technique in our research. We hope to be able to use our findings and experiences to teach others in the animation programs. BYU possesses …

Anthropometrics Of The Hand For Use In Ergonomic Design, Nathaniel Hanson, Dr. Richard Fry

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Industrial designers must balance a wide array of factors in their creation of useful products. The most important of these factors include functionality, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as market factors such as cost. Over the course of the last century, designers and design engineers have been increasingly compelled to adapt their designs to the varied physiological characteristics of the consumer. The growth of disabled populations, increased international trade, and greater understanding of human thought processes further necessitate and complicate accurate, representative anthropometric data tabulation and ‘ergonomic’ design in general.

Confederates In The Swimming Pool, John M. Rudy

Interpreting the Civil War: Connecting the Civil War to the American Public

I was swimming last night and thinking about dead Confederates. Someday, it's utterances like that which are going to see me involuntarily committed to an asylum. But it's true. I swam and thought about dead Confederates. [excerpt]

Quality-Space Theory In Olfaction, Benjamin D. Young, Andreas Keller, David Rosenthal

Publications and Research

Quality-space theory (QST) explains the nature of the mental qualities distinctive of perceptual states by appeal to their role in perceiving. QST is typically described in terms of the mental qualities that pertain to color. Here we apply QST to the olfactory modalities. Olfaction is in various respects more complex than vision, and so provides a useful test case for QST. To determine whether QST can deal with the challenges olfaction presents, we show how a quality space (QS) could be constructed relying on olfactory perceptible properties and the olfactory mental qualities then defined by appeal to that QS of …

Gendered Classrooms And Gendered Attire: Doing Gender On A College Campus, Jeff Lockhart Fcrh '13

The Fordham Undergraduate Research Journal

Gender and social identity rank as high priorities for undergraduate students, putting significant weight on their choice of apparel and accessories. In a university, students must also navigate the pressures of academic disciplines, which have their own norms of appearance and gender. Credibility in a discipline often hinges on one’s ability to conform to those disciplinary standards, but people whose social gender role does not match the gender of their discipline, such as womyn in the sciences or men in gender studies, will find these two forces at odds. This study leverages statistical observations of clothing and accessories to examine …

Fabrication And Execution: The Lycambids And Their Iambic Aptitude, William Bruckel Fcrh '11

The Fordham Undergraduate Research Journal

The Lycambids were a family believed to have personally known the archaic poet Archilochos of Paros. Tradition tells of their collected suicide being motivated by criticisms launched at them in his Iambic verse, and this is sometimes mistaken for historical fact. However, analysis of the conventions of the Iambic genre reveals that it is not sincere invective that Iambus is composed but rather humorous mockery. Inconsistencies in the characterization of the Lycambids in these verses, and the aptitude of those verses for sympotic ritual, are considered in light of this understanding to demonstrate that this tragic family is most likely …

Visual Forms, Visceral Themes: Understanding Bodies, Pain, And Torture In Renaissance Art, Helena Guzik Fcrh '12

The Fordham Undergraduate Research Journal

Despite its relevance to modern discussions, the scholarly treatment of torture in art is relatively infrequent. This project explores, through the visual evidence of artistic works, the implications of Renaissance philosophies surrounding the human body in the context of pain and particularly the physical suffering endured during torture. By examining varying techniques of representing the human form across an array of artistic media, this article strives to illuminate the struggle between the rise of scientific naturalism and prevailing currents of spiritual dualism when considering the question of the body in torment. In highlighting the artist as narrator of Renaissance society’s …
