[Lydie Salvayre,] Dans Le Vif Du Vivant, Warren Motte

French Language and Literature Papers

Les livres de Lydie Salvayre sont implacables, obsessionnels, insistants. Ils débordent de gens qui hurlent, qui fustigent, qui accusent, des gens qui estiment qu’il y a quelque chose qui ne va pas dans l’ordre accepté des choses, et qui ne relâcheront pas. Salvayre dit « Non ! » de manière superbement éloquente ; elle refuse d’approuver la sagesse reçue ; elle pense que tout mérite d’être interrogé. À notre époque si houleuse et incertaine, ces livres sont vivifiants, des vaccins puissants contre les foutaises outrageuses qui nous bombardent de façon quotidienne, constante. Son écriture se situe dans le vif du …

Deux Artistes, Lydie Salvayre

French Language and Literature Papers

1) Sur Alberto Giacometti : Walking Je nourrissais depuis longtemps une passion pour l’Homme qui marche de Giacometti. L’Homme qui marche, que je n’avais jamais vu que reproduit sur du papier glacé, me semblait constituer l’oeuvre au monde qui disait le plus justement et de la façon la plus poignante ce qu’il en était de notre condition humaine: notre infinie solitude et notre infinie vulnérabilité, mais, en dépit de celles-ci, notre entêtement à persévérer dans le vivre, notre entêtement à persévérer contre toute raison dans le vivre.

2) Sur Thomas Bernhard : Contre Aller dans le sens opposé, c’est ce …

Projet En Cours: [Ces Deux Textes Sont Extraits De Marcher Jusqu’Au Soir.], Lydie Salvayre

French Language and Literature Papers

Je détestais depuis longtemps tous les dévots de l’art. Je les détestais pour avoir vérifié trois cent fois que le prurit culturel qui leur démangeait l’âme ne les rendait pas meilleurs que les autres, ni plus humains, ni plus dignes, ni plus justes, ni plus éclairés, ni plus intelligents, ni plus rien, que parfois même ils étaient de gros cons, de gros cons confits en connerie, de gros cons d’une connerie insolente, de gros cons émerveillés d’eux-mêmes qui paradaient aux vernissages et se pâmaient devant le dernier artiste à la mode, lorsque c’était le tour d’Armand Étienne, ils n’en avaient …

El Capitalismo Como Adalid De Las Relaciones Sentimentales En Deshacer Las Américas (2016), De Hernán Migoya, Alfonso Bartolomé

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

En este ensayo se analizará la novela Deshacer las Américas (2016) del autor español Hernán Migoya (1971), donde se examinará el capitalismo y su conexión con las relaciones románticas del protagonista del texto, conocido como H. La actitud y el comportamiento del personaje principal, consecuencia además de la masculinidad española heteronormativa como un constructo social y cultural, es también un reflejo del modelo económico que impera en las sociedades contemporáneas en la actualidad. El capitalismo es una estructura económica que ha invadido todos los aspectos de la vida y que condiciona la manera de relacionarse entre las personas, incluyendo los …

A Phenomenological Study Of The Lived Experiences Of African American Women In Undergraduate Stem Degree Programs, Vernon H. Smith

Theses and Dissertations

This applied dissertation was designed to provide a better understanding of the lived experiences of African American women in STEM undergraduate degree programs at a 4-year degree granting institution in the southernmost part of central Virginia. The central problem is that there is disparity between the number of African American women with STEM degrees and that of other races in the STEM job market. The existing literature has gaps in the research of African American women’s perception of undergraduate STEM programs. Further, the researcher posits there is a lack of consideration for diversity that is detrimental to the United States; …

Teaching Persuasion In Multiple Contexts, Peter J. Capuano

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Teaching Persuasion in Multiple Contexts by Peter J. Capuano, a chapter in Approaches to Teaching Austen's Persuasion, edited by Marcia McClintock Folsom and John Wiltshire, published by the Modern Language Association of America, New York, 2021.

Introduction

Jane Austen's more well-known fiction has inspired strong attachments from many people (instructors and students alike), but Persuasion might be Austen's most dynamic and teachable novel. In fact, one of the many advantages of teaching Persuasion is that so many students-even the ones who come into my courses already professing their love for Austen's works-have never read the text before. They are …

Examining Diversity In The Iowa Goldfinch Award, Jill M. Doyle

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this quantitative content analysis was to evaluate the race/ethnicity of the main characters and authors in the picture books on the 2015-16 and 2020-21 Iowa Goldfinch Award lists, a student-nominated book list. The books were evaluated using coding that was adapted from earlier research. Then the statistics were compared to ascertain whether the portrayal of diverse cultures changed. Results indicated that the diversity of both the main characters and the authors increased by 25%, to include races other than White. The number of White main characters decreased from 6 to 3, while non-human characters decreased from 15 …

Strange Fruit: The Forgotten Lynchings Of Northwest Tennessee And Southwestern Kentucky, 1869-1931, Melinda Meador

Murray State Theses and Dissertations

In the 50 years between 1869 and 1918, 50 African Americans were lynched in a sparsely populated three-county area, far removed from the Cotton Belt and outside the ambit of the Tobacco Black Patch, along the state line in northwest Tennessee and southwestern Kentucky. The characteristics of lynchings identified in previous studies have little relevance to the lynchings carried out in this three-county area where the African American population seldom exceeded twenty percent of the overall population. Unlike the Deep South, the practice appears not to have been driven by socio-economic and political factors but primarily by a lust for …

Through reading this book, you can see the social groups, the different methodologies, and the results of the salvation offered by Jesus Christ.

A Métis Wife's Tale: Race, Womanhood, And Adaptation To Settler Colonialism In The Diaries Of Mary Hobart Williams, Rachael Schnurr

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

As the War of 1812 drew to a stalemate, the American government began the process of state formation in the "Old Northwest," which put political, economic, and cultural pressures on the indigenous population. Among the Anishinaabeg, Menominee, Ho-Chunk, and other Native inhabitants, however, were fifty-three communities of mixed ancestry produced by the fur trade: the Great Lakes Metis. This project looks at the ways the Metis of Green Bay adapted to the pressures of settler colonialism through the nineteenth century. In particular, it uses the diaries of a French-Menominee woman named Mary Hobart Williams to identify examples of "survivance, "or …

"Who Can Help Me?'': Knowledge Infused Matching Of Support Seekers And Support Providers During Covid-19 On Reddit, Manas Gaur, Kaushik Roy, Aditya Sharma, Biplav Srivastava, Amit Sheth

Publications

During the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, subreddits on Reddit, such as r/Coronavirus saw a rapid growth in user's requests for help (support seekers - SSs) including individuals with varying professions and experiences with diverse perspectives on care (support providers - SPs). Currently, knowledgeable human moderators match an SS with a user with relevant experience, i.e, an SP on these subreddits. This unscalable process defers timely care. We present a medical knowledge-infused approach to efficient matching of SS and SPs validated by experts for the users affected by anxiety and depression, in the context of with COVID-19.

Modeling The Effects Of Religious Belief And Affiliation On Prosociality, Luke Galen, Ross Gore, F. Leron Shults

VMASC Publications

To what extent do supernatural beliefs, group affiliation, and social interaction produce values and behaviors that benefit others, i.e., prosociality? Addressing this question involves multiple variables interacting within complex social networks that shape and constrain the beliefs and behaviors of individuals. We examine the relationships among some of these factors utilizing data from the World Values Survey to inform the construction of an Agent-Based Model. The latter was able to identify the conditions under which - and the mechanisms by which - the prosociality of simulated agents was increased or decreased within an "artificial society" designed to reflect real world …

“I Shall Watch Their Progress”: The Observer Effect And Information Theory In Literary Systems, Michael L. Shohet

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

This treatise will fully embrace the interdisciplinary approach and will attempt to apply theoretical physics to works of literature. There is no escape from the search for an ultimate connection between all disciplines of human thought. Culture, progress, their relationships with material things are all inevitably connected, even if this connection is its all-prevalent absence. Recent developments in quantum physics and post-human philosophy have provided the key to the intimate substance of all things – information. Although, the numerous branches of information structures are to be studied separately to grasp, appreciate and use their manifestations, to truly understand reality it …
