Fictional Emotions: Genuineness Of Emotions In Fictions, Lorien Giles
Fictional Emotions: Genuineness Of Emotions In Fictions, Lorien Giles
CMC Senior Theses
The common position in philosophy calls into question the ability of our emotions that derive from fictions to be genuine. In this paper I analyze this view, its motivating examples, and some unconsidered positions. In doing this I hope to offer a good defense of why our emotions that derive from fictions are in fact genuine and why the Paradox of Fiction is too broad.

Land Of Flowers, Michael Morrison
Land Of Flowers, Michael Morrison
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Land of Flowers is a collection of short fiction presenting a Florida that stands in counterpoint to the image the state holds in the national consciousness-an image of a backward region rife with rednecks, retirees, racists, and religious kooks. In contrast, these stories feature the natives, the tourists, the immigrants, and also the transplants who are drawn to this "paradise" with hopes of finding warmth, escape, and a new life that so often fails to materialize. Many of the inhabitants of these stories are mired in a state of introspection. In the title piece, an early Spanish explorer contemplates his …

The Visual Novel: Fictional Space And Print After 1900, Michael James Griffin Ii
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
My dissertation, The Visual Novel: Fictional Space and Print After 1900, examines how and why the novel has assimilated visual mediums—film, art, and the digital—into the genre as a means of adapting to the proliferation of mass media and technology. This project connects a history of the novel (genre) with a history of the book (the genre’s physical form), thereby theorizing and narrating a history of the visual novel. I demonstrate that through fictional space, a critical term used by narratologists and textual studies scholars, visual writing emerges as a hybridized mode of creative composition where we can see most …

Body Language: Pain In Victorian Literature, Laura Jane Faulk
Body Language: Pain In Victorian Literature, Laura Jane Faulk
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
“Body Language: Pain in Victorian Literature” argues that Victorian authors use the readable sign system of the body and pain to emphasize their characters’ physical features to the reader. As characters physically manifest emotions or experience violence, their appearances change, and these differences depend on physical descriptions. Marks on the body give it texture and depth, creating a layering that encourages the reader to envision and remember it. Character interactions, particularly when they read others’ somatic signs and experience or cause brutality, further flesh out characters, emphasizing their physical presences in the reader’s mind. The somatic sign system depends upon …

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The following stories represent what I have accomplished in my three-and-a-half years in the Master of Fine Arts-Fiction program at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. They are all realist stories, most of them with a minimalist leaning. Together for the first time, they are more than a mere sum of the writing I've done in my time in the MFA program. They are the stories that, when I read them now, still occasionally delight me. Most of the stories that I wrote as an MFA candidate do not pass this test, and thus are not included here. If there is …
Aesthetic Beauty In The 18th Century Chinese Novel Guwanyan (Preposterous Words), Qing Ye
Aesthetic Beauty In The 18th Century Chinese Novel Guwanyan (Preposterous Words), Qing Ye
2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference
This paper explores the tension between the radical sexual description and orthodox rhetoric in 18th century Chinese vernacular narrative. My research focuses on a xiaoshuo fiction, Guwangyan (Preposterous Words), authored by Cao Qujing and composed in 1730. This novel pictures the domestic lives of four families in Nanjing from the end of the 17th century to the early 18th century, including many explicit sexual descriptions. I argue that the author projects the ethic concern through the structure and characterization, while presents the anxiety towards desire in graphic sexual descriptions in the novel. The contrast and complementarity of the structural frame …
Rape And Genji’S Relationships With Women, Joseph Mark Donaldson, Dr. George Perkins
Rape And Genji’S Relationships With Women, Joseph Mark Donaldson, Dr. George Perkins
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Genji is a character is the ancient Japanese novel, The Tale of Genji. The setting of the novel is the Heian court of ancient Japan. Genji is the son of the emperor’s favorite wife. Although Genji is most favored among the emperor’s sons, and possesses remarkable qualities, his mother was of relatively low rank and Genji is at a young age deprived of his opportunity to become emperor. This happens early in the novel but the story continues the tale of Genji’s life and even includes the lives of some of his descendents.

This is a piece of fiction about love, drugs, death, and giants in no particular order. Todd and Heather, a young couple a year or two out of college, are camping in the woods and smoking a good deal of weed when the mountain they've pitched their tent on stands up and begins laying waste to the countryside. While the stoners are trapped on the body of the colossus and forced to work through some relationship issues and possible head trauma, an elderly widower and his dog on the forest floor have their home remodeled by a giant's foot.
Slaughterhouse-Five And The Bombing Of Dresden: Reconciling Fiction With Non-Fiction, Philip Webb, Dr. Trent Hickman
Slaughterhouse-Five And The Bombing Of Dresden: Reconciling Fiction With Non-Fiction, Philip Webb, Dr. Trent Hickman
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Some historical events, singular in their atrocity and horror, are not easily forgotten. Every nation, culture, and religion, claims one event and remembers it with solemnity. For Japan, it was Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For Jews, the Holocaust. Now in Indonesia, it is a devastating tsunami. For America it could be Pearl Harbor or September 11. Germans are no exception. They remember the night of February 13, 1945—the bombing and annihilation of their beloved Dresden. And when the talk turns to Dresden, it turns to Slaughterhouse-Five.

Translations From Allada And Experience D'Edward Lee, Versailles By Gérard Gavarry, Gérard Gavarry, Katina Rogers
Translations From Allada And Experience D'Edward Lee, Versailles By Gérard Gavarry, Gérard Gavarry, Katina Rogers
Publications and Research
At the heart of Gérard Gavarry’s writing are the questions of what power language holds, and what remains beyond the reach of expression. The two translations included here, excerpts from Allada (P.O.L, 1993) and Expérience d’Edward Lee, Versailles (P.O.L, 2009), share little with each other in terms of setting or structure, but explore similar questions of the role and limits of language in relation to defamiliarization, power, and fear. The inventive reflection on the nature of language, identity, and power that, woven into the fabric of the novel, makes Gavarry’s work some of the most compelling fiction coming out of …
Alabaster Sky: Writing For The Web, Graham Ward, Dr. Eric Samuelsen
Alabaster Sky: Writing For The Web, Graham Ward, Dr. Eric Samuelsen
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Writing the web series Alabaster Sky was a process of daily adaptation. From viewing every web series and documentary-style movie we could get our hands on, to inventing a method of structuring serial fiction that’s non-linear, this project tested us daily. The success of the production itself is yet to be determined, but the writing process can be considered successful in its attempt to test the limits of new media. The most significant area of work in the writing process was marrying the series’ documentary style with a non-linear structure.

Dialogue In Fiction, Tracy A. Townsend
The Short Story
This close-reading and discussion-oriented lesson, which takes between sixty and seventy minutes, uses Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” as a model of how dialogue advances plot and develops character in fiction. It is useful in literature classrooms for its emphasis on drawing inferences from text and in creative writing contexts for teaching effective dialogue writing. This lesson is suitable for grades 9-12.
