Radical Empowerment And Evolution In Fay Weldon’S Menippean Satire: The Life And Loves Of A She-Devil (1983), Jackson A. Rivera
Radical Empowerment And Evolution In Fay Weldon’S Menippean Satire: The Life And Loves Of A She-Devil (1983), Jackson A. Rivera
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This master’s thesis explores Fay Weldon’s implementation of Menippean satire in her 1983 novel, The Life and Loves of a She-Devil. The present discussion argues Weldon utilizes this specific satiric mode within her novel in order to convey a story of radical female empowerment and evolution that critiques gendered stereotypes of marriage and female roles in society. To make this argument, this thesis applies satire theory, most prominently Mikhail Bakhtin’s ideas about Menippean satire, as well as marriage and family psychology, to Weldon’s characterization of wives, husbands, and mistresses throughout the novel. Through this discussion, Rivera demonstrates the effectiveness of …

What's In A Genre?: The Relationship Between Reader And Text, Anabelle Mahoney
What's In A Genre?: The Relationship Between Reader And Text, Anabelle Mahoney
Senior Honors Projects
The way in which literary genres are understood shapes how one reads and interacts with different texts. Genre expectations affect both how individuals choose texts to read, and then how those texts are understood. Therefore, labeling literature as a certain genre affects the relationship between writer and reader. Literary nonfiction is unlike most genres as it promises a certain truth to its readers. One cannot deviate too far from “the truth” in nonfiction writing and still fulfill the genre; the relationship a reader has with a text changes if it is not considered “true enough.” Author James Frey, who marketed …
The Yosakoi Festival And Rural Revitalization In Kōchi Prefecture, Japan, Amy L. Kostka
The Yosakoi Festival And Rural Revitalization In Kōchi Prefecture, Japan, Amy L. Kostka
Senior Honors Projects
Japan has been experiencing a population decline in rural areas since post World War II. Rural prefectures including Kōchi have been participating in nationwide efforts as well as local efforts to maintain population and hopefully attract more people to these areas. These efforts have been collectively categorized under the term rural revitalization. Rural revitalization has many aims: to encourage pride in local cultural practices, to attract tourists and new residents, and to boost local economies. In this study I examined how a festival might assist in rural revitalization efforts. Exploring the literature involving revitalization efforts provided the scaffolding for my …
Vocal Performance From Renaissance To Modern Day, Katherine Souza
Vocal Performance From Renaissance To Modern Day, Katherine Souza
Senior Honors Projects
What’s your favorite song? Everyone, whether engineer, photographer, healthcare professional, retail sales associate, office worker, or taxi driver can name at least one song that they like. That is because music is ubiquitous in our lives. Whether or not you are a musician by trade, music is a language to which everyone relates. In this project, I sought out to investigate this universal language. I selected compositions by eleven different composers, from Renaissance to twentieth century. Further, I researched topics such as how the piece came to be written, translations for non-English pieces, details about the composer’s life and how …
Morals And Martial Arts: A Woman's Place Of Empowerment Through Judo, Sydney Wall
Morals And Martial Arts: A Woman's Place Of Empowerment Through Judo, Sydney Wall
Senior Honors Projects
This study explores the experiences of women within the world of judo, a combat sport derived from ancient samurai hand-to-hand combat techniques. Although judo was founded as a sport in the 1880s, there was no women’s section until 1923 and, even then, women were barred from competition out of concern for its impact on their ability to have children. It would not be until 1992 that women’s judo became a part of the Olympic program. These limitations on women’s participation have simultaneously resulted from and contributed to the association of judo with notions of masculinity. Despite almost thirty years of …
Analysis Of Spheno-Occipital Synchondrosis (Sos) Fusion In A Contemporary Southern Nevada Subadult Hispanic Population Using Archival Cone-Beam Computerized Tomography (Cbct) Images, Megan Baker
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
This study employs the three-dimensional visualization capability of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to investigate the relationship between chronological age and timing of fusion of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis in a male/female subadult Hispanic population of Southern Nevada. The sample includes cross-sectional data of 374 orthodontic patients (166 males and 208 females) aged 8-20 years. The SOS is scored by a four-stage scoring system as completely open (stage 0), less than half fused (stage 1), more than half fused (stage 2), or completely fused (stage 3) as visualized in the midsagittal plane in the CBCT image. The relationship between SOS fusion stage …
Trauma And Its Shadow: The History Of Flashbacks, David Becker
Trauma And Its Shadow: The History Of Flashbacks, David Becker
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The flashback is a concept born in cinema, adopted by science and embraced by popular culture as a metaphor for memory—everyday recollections, psychedelic illusions, and traumatic intrusions—that informs and influences our relationship to the past. This creative thesis traces the one-hundred-year timeline of the concept of flashbacks, focusing on its expansion into the field of psychology. How did a film term end up in the pages of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the primary tool used by psychologists to diagnose mental illness, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)? Flashbacks gained psychological complexity in Hollywood during the …
Bridging The Gap: An Introduction To Jazz Improvisation And The Application Of Manipulating Composed Content For Classical Percussionists, James Douglas Whiting
Bridging The Gap: An Introduction To Jazz Improvisation And The Application Of Manipulating Composed Content For Classical Percussionists, James Douglas Whiting
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
This document presents a systematic study of an introductory method to jazz improvisation for classical percussionists. This method discusses a combination of fundamental concepts of jazz improvisation, combined with the approaches of applying these concepts as a way of manipulating composed content. This methodology provides classical percussionists with an appropriate vehicle to bridge their knowledge from through-composed, and classical music, to jazz improvisation. The concepts, along with an analysis of their application, is detailed in each chapter with extensive musical examples.
Beyond Suffrage: Intermarriage, Land, And Meanings Of Citizenship And Marital Naturalization/Expatriation In The United States, Shiori Yamamoto
Beyond Suffrage: Intermarriage, Land, And Meanings Of Citizenship And Marital Naturalization/Expatriation In The United States, Shiori Yamamoto
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
This dissertation investigates how the laws of marital naturalization/expatriation, namely the Citizenship Act of 1855, the Expatriation Act of 1907, and the Cable Act of 1922 and its amendments throughout the 1930s, impacted the lives of women who married foreigners, especially in the American West, and demonstrates how women directly and indirectly challenged the practice of marital naturalization/expatriation. Those laws demanded women who married foreigners take the nationality of their husbands depending on the race of women and their husbands, making married women’s citizenship dependent on that of their husbands. Particularly under the Expatriation Act of 1907, all American women …
