Les Fonctions Du Langage Dans « Lettres À Ses Amis » De Mouloud Feraoun, Rachida Sadouni, Fatiha Ramdani, Amina Tahraoui

Al-Kīmiyā

This article examines the epistolary correspondence in Mouloud Feraoun’s literary work Lettres à ses amis. It mainly aims to study the language functions employed in these letters according to Jakobson’s categorization (1963), as well as the traces of subjectivity and privacy. This paper analyzes the personality of Feraoun through his letters, and infers the characteristics of this writer’s epistolary. This article also examines Feraoun’s work from its conception to its final publication. We argue in this paper that the epistolary is not only a means of information and communication but also a revelation of secrets and disclosure of individual …

Mindful Of God: Meditation Practices Within Abrahamic Traditions, Jacob Aqua

Mindfulness Studies Theses

Through the exploration of meditation practices within Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, this paper emphasizes the shared intention among practitioners of these Abrahamic traditions to connect with the Divine Presence of God in daily life. In modern America, where religious diversity and secularism coexist, meditation practices have gained traction in spiritual settings, secular spaces, religious communities, and other environments. This paper reviews three key meditation practices: the dhikr practice in Islam, the “Just Being” Shabbat practice in Judaism, and the “Silence as a Door to God” practice in Christianity. Through this review, significant phenomenological parallels emerge: the practices of cultivating stillness …

Mindful Art Curriculum: Teaching Towards Transformational Change, Ashley Riemann

Through mindful exploration students learn to cultivate awareness and focus, forming a deeper connection with art and one another. As Jon Kabat-Zinn expressed, …

Rainbow Road To Prismatic Playwriting: Black Women's Dramatic Praxis In Practice, Taren Wilson

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation explores the lived experiences of Black women in academia, uplifting those interested in non-traditional or creative scholarship. Underrepresentation and attrition due to exclusionary academic practices is a systemic problem. What can Black feminist playwriting as research do for Black women in academia hoping to resist and connect to themselves and their community? What can playwriting as a Black woman doctoral student elucidate about the utility of playwriting as research, culturally informed epistemologies, and African American women's drama? By merging African American women's drama, Black feminist epistemologies, Practice as Research, and playwriting as research, I developed an onto-epistemological method …

Critics And Champions; Woolf's And Forster's Novel's Connection, Sarah Timm '28

Best First-Year Seminar Writing

Although Virginia Woolf’s and E.M. Forster’s relationship was not as widely discussed or scrutinized as were other relationships between Bloomsbury Group members, Woolf’s and Forster’s association contributed to both novelists’ lasting literary success. Despite having held various—and often conflicting—opinions of each other, Woolf and Forster conversed frequently and engaged in a decades-long debate over form, character, and art in novels. Since Woolf and Forster were both critics and champions of each other’s work, their debates and willingness to question each other contributed to their growth as writers and reviewers. An exploration of the personal and professional relationship between Woolf and …

Intelligence Assessment And Response Toward Japan By The British And Chinese In Malaya During The Second World War, 1939-1945, Guo Shuaishuai

Student Works (2020-2029)

The thesis draws three main conclusions from its findings. Firstly, during the Second World War, British intelligence mistakenly assessed Japan’s motives in occupying French Indochina by inaccurately perceiving the occupation as an act to attack China. Despite internal debates within British intelligence agencies by the end of 1940, factors such as the “cognitive closure” effect, interference from intelligence noise, and internal Japanese uncertainties contributed to the misinterpretation of Japan’s strategic intent in occupying French Indochina. Secondly, the effectiveness of British intelligence in addressing Japanese espionage in Malaya was limited. Even with a thorough understanding of the Japanese espionage activities in …
