Opaque Redemption: Whiteness, Theology, And The Politics Of The Human, Timothy Mcgee
Opaque Redemption: Whiteness, Theology, And The Politics Of The Human, Timothy Mcgee
Religious Studies Theses and Dissertations
Who can save us from redemption? Some of the earliest accounts of the African slave trade claimed that slavery saved those marked by the “perdition” of soul, mind, and body (G. E. de Zurara). Postcolonial critics argue that colonization (F. Fanon), orientalism (E. Said), and even liberal democracy (T. Asad) have operated as violent projects of redemption. At the center of these modern politics of redemption, or of modernity as a project of redemption, is a racial figure of the human, what Sylvia Wynter calls Man. This dissertation, Opaque Redemption: Whiteness, Theology, and the Politics of the Human, …
The Joker: A Character Study Of A Modern Madman, Jay Ewald
The Joker: A Character Study Of A Modern Madman, Jay Ewald
English Theses - Archive
When the Joker first appeared in the pages of Batman on April 25, 1940, he was intended to be little more than a throwaway villain for the hero to face. Since his debut, the Joker has appeared in countless comics, TV shows, and movies. He has become a cultural icon unlike any other and is recognized around the world. The Joker has been studied through the lens of psychology, and has been used as an example of evil, villainy, and moral bankruptcy. The complexity of this comic book villain is unparalleled by even his closest villainous analog. This thesis examines …
"A Shot In The Dark": Post-9/11 One-Off Speculative Fiction, Michael Lynn Brittain
"A Shot In The Dark": Post-9/11 One-Off Speculative Fiction, Michael Lynn Brittain
English Dissertations - Archive
The cultural, political, and historical impact of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, as an event, continues to be questioned. For this project, I will examine six “one-off” or “one-time” works of speculative fiction from highly-acclaimed and award-winning writers— Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America (2004), Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (2006), Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policemen’s Union (2007), Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go (2005), Chang-Rae Lee’s On Such a Full Sea (2014), and Ben Marcus’s The Flame Alphabet (2012) —who, prior to the terrorist attacks on 9/11, all worked predominantly in creating works in the genre of realist …
Constructing Space And Framing The Beholder: Problems And Solutions In Gustave Caillebotte’S Compositions, Araceli Bremauntz Enriquez
Constructing Space And Framing The Beholder: Problems And Solutions In Gustave Caillebotte’S Compositions, Araceli Bremauntz Enriquez
Art and Art History Honors Theses
This project investigates Gustave Caillebotte's techniques of constructing and arranging space. Previous scholarship has examined the artist's works in light of external, social, and historic evidence, therefore, my account will provide a detailed formal analysis of the works considering the role of the intended viewer. In looking closely Young Man Playing the Piano, Man at his Bath, and Pont de l’Europe, I argue that the viewpoint assigned to the beholder projects an irreconcilable vision of modernity. Caillebotte utilizes elements of representational painting--viewpoints, the illusion of time, the arrangement of people within space, and the built structures that describe space--in order …
La Cité That Care Forgot: Public Housing And The Perception Of 'Ordinary Modernism' In Paris And New Orleans, Brooks Cameron Piper
La Cité That Care Forgot: Public Housing And The Perception Of 'Ordinary Modernism' In Paris And New Orleans, Brooks Cameron Piper
Art and Art History Honors Theses
The Lafitte housing complex in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Barre Balzac apartment tower outside Paris typified the ordinary modernism that transformed cities around the world in the mid-twentieth century. I use the term “ordinary modernism” to refer specifically to buildings that exhibit characteristics of modern architecture, but lack the pedigree of iconic buildings designed by famous architects for illustrious clients. Lafitte and Balzac were public housing projects, possessing neither the opulence of a private villa nor the grandeur of a house of parliament. Although contemporary scholars and new residents alike admired the projects for their modernity at their construction, …
Three Women, Two Spheres, And A Contract: A Comparative Study Of Mary Astell And Mary Wollstonecraft Through The Lens Of Carole Pateman's "The Sexual Contract", Robyn Burke Dabora
Three Women, Two Spheres, And A Contract: A Comparative Study Of Mary Astell And Mary Wollstonecraft Through The Lens Of Carole Pateman's "The Sexual Contract", Robyn Burke Dabora
Dissertations, Masters Theses, Capstones, and Culminating Projects
This project examines the writings of Mary Astell (1666-1731) and Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) regarding women in light of ideas articulated by Carole Pateman (1940- ) in her book, The Sexual Contract (1988). In her work, Pateman critiques the prescriptions for the management of society suggested by classic contract theorists such as Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) and John Locke (1632-1704) and cites that their solutions focus solely on men in the public sphere of society. Pateman illuminates the condition of women in the private sphere of the home, and asserts that this realm operates by mechanisms radically different from those of the …
Winged Women: Stewardesses, Sexism, And American Society, Michele Martin
Winged Women: Stewardesses, Sexism, And American Society, Michele Martin
Dissertations, Masters Theses, Capstones, and Culminating Projects
Airline stewardesses in the decades between 1950 and 1980 reflected a microcosm of the American feminist movement. Subjected to what feminist theorist Laura Mulvey called “the male gaze,” in which women are viewed as objects who exist for the viewer’s pleasure, they were selected for their youth and beauty and trained to serve. Regulations about height, weight, age, and marital status, ensured that stewardesses were young, thin, and single, and women in this job were fetishized as everything from girl next door to sex kitten. Stewardesses were expected to fulfill archetypal and stereotypical female roles, including mother, nurse, comforter, and …

Alfred Lord Tennyson, Julia Margaret Cameron, And The Arthurian Legends: Re-Writing And Re-Envisioning Women’S Roles In 19th Century England, Lisa Wagenhurst
Dissertations, Masters Theses, Capstones, and Culminating Projects
Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) the poet and Julia Margaret Cameron the photographer (1813-1879) worked collaboratively on the Idylls of the King; a work of epic poetry that Tennyson wrote about the legends of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. His re-envisioned tales were cautionary and provided guidelines as to how women should behave or face the consequences of causing the downfall of society. Victorian society was in a precarious situation as women were expected to behave in certain ways, but at the same time they were finding their voices and beginning to speak out about patriarchal society …
Literacy Revolution: How The New Tools Of Communication Change The Stories We Tell, Molly Gamble
Literacy Revolution: How The New Tools Of Communication Change The Stories We Tell, Molly Gamble
Dissertations, Masters Theses, Capstones, and Culminating Projects
The transmission of culture depends upon every generation reconsidering what it means to be literate. The way we consider ourselves to be a literate species is changing, which puts us at a unique turning point in human history. Verbal literacy, or the ability to read and write, is slowly being replaced by visual literacy as a primary tool for human communication. As a culture, we tend to underestimate the creative ferment of our increasingly visual world. The linear, structured pathways of traditional literacy are shifting towards a creative and participatory pursuit of unstructured information that emphasize dimensional thinking. The acceleration …

Porch And Playhouse, Parlor And Performance Hall: Traversing Boundaries In Gottschalk's The Banjo, Laura Moore Pruett
Porch And Playhouse, Parlor And Performance Hall: Traversing Boundaries In Gottschalk's The Banjo, Laura Moore Pruett
Visual & Performing Arts Faculty Publications
This article reconsiders the cultural significance and historical impact of the well-known virtuosic piano composition The Banjo by Louis Moreau Gottschalk. Throughout the early nineteenth century, the banjo and the piano inhabited very specific and highly contrasting performance circumstances: black folk entertainment and minstrel shows for the former, white middle- and upper-class parlors and concert halls for the latter. In The Banjo, Louis Moreau Gottschalk lifted the banjo out of its familiar contexts and placed it in the spaces usually privileged for the piano. Taking its inspiration from both African American and minstrel banjo playing techniques, Gottschalk's composition relaxed and …

American Immigration: Differing Views On The Threat From Immigrants, Carl Karpinski
American Immigration: Differing Views On The Threat From Immigrants, Carl Karpinski
Political Science Theses and Capstones
Immigration has been a hot button issue in politics across the world, especially in recent years in the United States. People’s views on immigration vary broadly among political parties and from every corner of the country. Why do people believe the things they do about immigrants? I researched this question to determine why immigration is at the forefront of American politics and how different aspects of one’s life affect his or her sentiments. Using General Social Survey data, I explored why some people feel threatened by immigrants coming to their country and others do not. Variables analyzed include income, church …
Music Therapists' Self-Care: Examining The Effectiveness Of Educational Preparation For Clinical Practice, Maureen C. Hearns
Music Therapists' Self-Care: Examining The Effectiveness Of Educational Preparation For Clinical Practice, Maureen C. Hearns
Expressive Therapies Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of undergraduate academic and clinical training programs for music therapy in addressing the subject of personal growth, as it relates to the development of critical self-awareness and self-care strategies. The study further attempted to identify which self-care strategies are being used by practicing music therapy clinicians and how a practice of self-care impacts their work with distressed and/or traumatized individuals. An electronic survey sent to all board-certified music therapists (MT-BCs) (N = 6369) generated a demographic profile of music therapy practitioners who identified their clientele as distressed and/or traumatized. The …

詞與樂府關係新論 : 關於詞與樂府關係的綜合考, Zhixi Qian
詞與樂府關係新論 : 關於詞與樂府關係的綜合考, Zhixi Qian
嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies
本文從以下三個方面對詞與樂府關係作新的考察：一、唐宋時期詞稱樂府的實義；二、詞作爲新興樂章系統與前此的古樂府系統的關係；三、詞作爲新聲樂府與唐宋時代已經不能實際入樂的古樂府的消長倚伏的關係，即詞與唐詩中各種新舊樂府體的關係。

唐人《幽蘭賦》意象源流論, Hanglun Zhan
唐人《幽蘭賦》意象源流論, Hanglun Zhan
嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies
唐人《幽蘭賦》意象的源頭是屈原的《離騷》和託名孔子的《幽蘭操》。《文苑英華》中收録六篇《幽蘭賦》，一篇是初唐楊炯的古賦，另外五篇是題下限韵的律賦，爲大曆十三年進士試賦。這些賦作中的幽蘭意象一方面對屈原或孔子有所繼承，另一方面對幽蘭意象的内涵有所改造與豐富。中國文學“意象”的特色之一是：意象的内涵既具有歷史的傳承性，又隨著時空語境的變遷而發生變化。當代電影《孔子》主題曲《幽蘭操》既有對傳統意象的誤讀，在某種意義上也顯示出對古典美的回歸。
馮夢龍《太平廣記鈔》的編纂和評點, Yunmei Kang
馮夢龍《太平廣記鈔》的編纂和評點, Yunmei Kang
嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies
明末馮夢龍有鑒於《太平廣記》在明代印行的訛亂缺漏情況，遂從事《太平廣記》的編纂整理，完成《太平廣記鈔》一書。在《太平廣記鈔·小引》中，馮夢龍陳述對於全書進行去同存異、芟繁就簡、併類合事、前後更置、削簡事件、減省字句等編纂。本文嘗試分析馮夢龍如何具體落實這些編纂工作，將500卷的《太平廣記》縮編爲80卷的《太平廣記鈔》。此外，本文還意圖探究馮夢龍《太平廣記鈔》中的評點，包括評點的形式、立場和功能，以及其中所藴含的觀點。並藉探討結果綜論《太平廣記鈔》作爲一《太平廣記》選本的特色，進而與於1462年韓國朝鮮時代儒者成任所完成的《太平廣記詳節》比較，討論兩部《太平廣記》選本的差異。希冀藉由本文的研究，能够全面而深入地抉發馮夢龍編纂和評點《太平廣記鈔》的特色與意藴。
權力意志 : 清高宗乾隆帝譏斥錢謙益詩文再議, Chi Hung, Lawrence Yim
權力意志 : 清高宗乾隆帝譏斥錢謙益詩文再議, Chi Hung, Lawrence Yim
嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies
清高宗乾隆皇帝 (1736-1795 在位) 對批判明清易代之際文壇宗主錢謙益 (牧齋，1582-1664) 似乎有一種情結或執念，無所不用其極。檢《清實録·高宗純皇帝實録》，乾隆《御製詩集》、《文集》，乾隆二十六年至五十四年(1761-1789)之28年間，關涉牧齋者（包括直接因牧齋而發或提及牧齋者），至少有諭、令等19件，詩12題15首。前賢論乾隆之批判牧齋，切入點多在乾隆關於牧齋的諭旨及其種種政治舉措，此乃大關節大問題，固宜先攻破之，但筆者以爲，值得一併考論者，還有學者尚未注意到的乾隆所寫關於牧齋的古今體詩。有鑒於學者對乾隆的相關諭令著墨已多，成果豐碩，但全面探論乾隆相關詩作者尚未之見，本文擬另闢蹊徑，將探論的重心放置於乾隆的詩作，而輔之以乾隆的相關諭令，如此，或能更完整地瞭解乾隆帝譏斥牧齋的情實，並能進一步拓展此一研究課題的深度與廣度。
丁茶山的中國易學史論, Wai Ming, Benjamin Ng
丁茶山的中國易學史論, Wai Ming, Benjamin Ng
嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies
丁茶山是朝鮮易學史上極重要人物。他在《周易四箋》及《易學緒言》分别提出具啓發性的方法論，及對中國歷代易學作系統性批判。前者提出研究《周易》的四大方法，後者以此四法爲標準評價中國歷代易學。本研究以此二著作爲主要參考，考察茶山對中國歷代易學的評價。這不但有助了解茶山易學的特色及貢獻，而且亦可窺見實學與朱子學的關係及朝鮮儒學的創意及其局限性。
顧頡剛與崔述, Ching Chang Lin
顧頡剛與崔述, Ching Chang Lin
嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies
探討崔述和顧頡剛學術的關係的論文已有多篇，但多從學術史的角度切入，論述崔述對顧頡剛古史考辨思想的淵源。其實，顧頡剛對當代學術史的貢獻，即樹立一個整理古人著作的方法和準繩，作爲後人模仿效法的對象。本文舉他兩次重編《崔東壁遺書》爲例，説明他蒐集資料的方法及其對後代的影響。全文分《前言》、《崔述的生平》、《蒐尋崔東壁遺書》、《重編崔東壁遺書》、《上海古籍版崔東壁遺書》、《顧頡剛對崔述的評價》、《結語》七小節，重點在第三、四、五三個小節。
劉禹錫與元白詩派的離合, Caizhi Chen
劉禹錫與元白詩派的離合, Caizhi Chen
嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies
拙著《元白詩派研究》將晚年與白居易唱和的劉禹錫劃入元白詩派，曾引發異議。確實，歷來文學史對劉禹錫的定位，都是視其爲中唐元白與韓孟兩大詩派之外的優秀詩人，自具風格，别有個性。但劉禹錫晚年的詩歌創作，因爲與白居易交往唱和而有所變化，也同樣是不爭的事實，只是没有受到充分的重視而已。二人詩風因交互影響而不免有趨同傾向，歷史上也屢有劉冠白戴的誤判，其中還包括方虚谷、王漁洋和袁隨園等赫赫有名的詩評家。本文擬在詳細排比劉禹錫與白居易交遊唱和詩基礎上，論述他們詩歌創作上的交互影響之跡，以求辨析劉禹錫與元白詩派的離合。
