The Actor In Flux: Transforming Acting Techniques Through Individuality, Christian Gabriel Tolentino

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

Most young aspiring actors are searching to ground themselves to begin their acting journey, to define, understand, and apply “acting” in their careers. Through this paper, I will attempt to formulate a personal approach to acting with the data gathered anchored in autotheory. The study does not want to dictate an appropriate approach for all actors but rather gives a chance for actors to reflect on their individuality as actors/artists.

The meat of the text will include a brief history of acting techniques from Europe, to America and eventually the Philippines and see how these techniques/processes/methods converse. I will delve …

Ang Mapanglasong Dagta Ng Homophobia: Pagsusuri Ng Kasarian At Pagnanasa Sa "Nagmahal Ako [Ng Bakla]" Ng Dagtang Lason (The Toxic Sap Of Homophobia: An Analysis Of Kabaklaan, Masculinity, And Desire In Dagtang Lason’S "Nagmahal Ako [Ng Bakla]"), Johann Vladimir Espiritu

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

Gamit ang malapitang pagbabasa, sinusuri ng artikulong ito ang kantang “Nagmahal Ako [ng Bakla]” ng Dagtang Lason (2009) upang tunghayan ang pagkakahulugan nito sa kabaklaan. Isang seksyon ito ng higit na malawakang pag-aaral sa kabaklaan bilang karakter na nilalaman ng kantang bakla—o mga awit na nagmumula sa [personang] bakla, patungo sa [hantungang] bakla, o may pinatutungkulang [kuwento ng] bakla—nitong huling apat na dekada. Ang pagbasa/panunuri ay nakaangkla sa teoryang queer na kombinasyon ng samutsaring kritikang kapwa kanluranin at lokal, at nakatutok sa tatlong pangunahing salik: ang titik [o teksto, lyrics ng kanta], ang tinig [na kinakatawan ng literal na …

Pagduyan Sa Bayan: Tungo Sa Pagluluwal Ng Tradisyon Ng Oyayi (Cradling The Nation: Towards Birthing The Philippine Lullaby Tradition), Vijae Alquisola

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

Sa diskusyon ng tradisyon at panitikang oral, tila nakaligtaan ang oyayi sa duyan nang malibang sa kuwentuhan ang tagapag-alaga. Bagamat nahahagip ang oyayi sa ilang kritikal na sulatin, antolohiya, at mga lathalain—nananatili ang pangangailangan na sinupin ang mga ito upang masimulan ang paglalatag ng tradisyon ng anyo. Bukod sa pag-survey sa mga kaugnay na literatura, layunin ng papel na maipakita ang mahigpit na pagkakabigkis ng oyayi sa karanasan ng bayang nagluwal dito. Isa rin itong pakikipagdiyalogo sa mga maagang nasabi tungkol sa oyayi bilang hindi nagkukuwento o “non-narrative” at “walang kahulugan” labas sa pagpapatulog ng bata. Sa paglalatag, ipinakita ang …

“Dito Lang Kami Sa Aming Bahay”: Kapangyarihan At Kalusugan Sa Mga Piling Aklat Pambatang Filipino Tungkol Sa Pandemyang Covid-19 (2020-2021) (“We Will Just Stay At Home”: Power Relations And Health System In Selected Filipino Children’S Books About Covid-19 Pandemic [2020-2021]), Jose Monfred C. Sy

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

Sa gitna ng pandemyang COVID-19 na sumiklab noong Marso 2020, umusbong ang maraming aklat pambatang may layuning ituro sa mambabasa kung paano umiwas sa sakit at umangkop sa mga pagbabago sa pang-araw-araw na buhay buhat ng tinatawag na “new normal.” Malaki ang papel ng pagbabasa sa pag-unlad ng mga batang Pilipino na nawalan ng pagkakataong masosyalisa kasama ng kapwa bata sa mga espasyo tulad ng paaralan at palaruan. Layunin ng papel na ito na suriin kung paano inilalarawan ng mga aklat pambatang Filipino ang mga bata sa konteksto ng pandemya. Kung kinikilala ng lipunan ang pangangailangan na limitahan ang mobilidad …

Stony Brook Souvenir And Other Translated Poems, Christian Jil R. Benitez

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

This essay preliminary elucidates on the process of translating Jaya Jacobo’s poetry from Filipino to English. It briefly recounts the unprompted beginning of this translation work, citing it as an instance of a gift; as well the author’s general translation practice in his scholarly work, as demanded by the contemporary academic culture. Recognizing that translation is an argument in and of itself, the gesture—as it is hoped to be demonstrated here in five of Jacobo’s poems, gathered here on their comparable staging of encounters with gifts that cleave time, space, and category of matters—ultimately insists on a careful attention to …

0887: Gwenyth E. Hood Collection, 1889-2023, Marshall University Special Collections

Guides to Manuscript Collections

Gwenyth Elise Hood was born on December 10, 1955, to Thomas Arthur Hood and Marion Louise Snee Hood in White Plains, NY, but moved with her family to Brandon, Vermont at the age of seven. She developed a love of reading and writing at an early age, discovering some favorite authors—Rudyard Kipling, Shakespeare, and J.R.R. Tolkien—at roughly the same time, in early adolescence. Then came Dante. Dante drew her to learn Latin and Italian; she had already started on French due to family heritage and the availability of the language in High School. In 1979 she won a University of …

A Memoir Of My Reading, Bennett B. Gilbert

History Faculty Publications and Presentations

Surveying nearly seven decades of habitual and obsessive reading, I consider how my character and psychology used reading to shape philosophical questions that move me into forms in which I could pursue them by reading. This became both the method and the substance of my philosophical work. It preserved some core emotional issues but also gave me the way to integrate them into scholarship and into my life.

Where The Blue Flowers Grow: Sehnsucht And Eucatastrophe In Christian Fantasy Literature, Ashley Shepherd

Senior Honors Theses

Sehnsucht is a longing for Heaven that cannot be fully described or fulfilled in this world. Eucatastrophe is an unexpected turn of events in a story that brings about incredible joy and a happy ending. This thesis examines how fantasy authors George MacDonald, C. S. Lewis, and J. R. R. Tolkien explore both of these spiritual phenomena in many of their works. This thesis also discusses how sehnsucht and eucatastrophe appear in Scripture and can be used in stories to point readers to Heaven. Biblically, sehnsucht is a longing for Heaven, and eucatastrophe serves as the fulfillment of that longing. …

Now I See You, Now I Know You: How Constructions Of Space And The Self Navigate The Tension Between Reenchantment Of The World And Intimate Communion In Autobiographical Performance, Huong Nguyen

Theatre and Dance Honors Projects

The transformative power of live performances lies in their reenchantment of the world: how they allow us to see special qualities of everyday objects and phenomena. Autobiographical theatre, rather than trying to find new ways of seeing, aims to transform the audience to “[make] the stranger less strange”. How do these qualities co-exist in autobiographical performance, and how does such a style of performance navigate them? By centralizing a comparative analysis of stagecraft in Aya Ogawa’s The Nosebleed and my honors project, Anti-Cartesian Variety Show, I demonstrate how constructions of space and the self help collapse the boundary between reenchantment …

Forest Thought, Narrativity, And Counterinsurgency In Yñiga, Glenn L. Diaz

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

In this paper, I investigate the ways in which the tropical forest can assume the position of discourse, formal design, and textual form in fiction. I think about how, beyond its usual role as space, its vitality and various logics can facilitate a different way of storytelling, one that seeks to embody the historical resistance that the forest has long incubated. I demonstrate this by looking at the forest as a critical element in the spatio-poetics of my novel Yñiga (2022), and how its literal and conceptual manifestations--or "forest thought"--can help illuminate the ways in which history is imagined in …

An Analysis On The Capacity Of Visual Art To Promote Conservation Efforts, Devi Bell

Honors Projects

In recent decades, we have become more aware of the ways in which anthropogenic actions are harming Earth’s climate, ecosystems, and overall stability. Scientists generally agree on the urgency of our situation, yet the public may find difficulty in comprehending the multitude of information on it. This study aims to educate the public on biodiversity loss and related ecological issues in Ohio by discussing these topics through the medium of visual art. Five pieces involving different scientific subject matter and art mediums were created and displayed for participants to view. Participants completed two surveys, one before viewing the art and …

Positioning As A Mediator Of Reader Self-Efficacy: A Case Study Of Literature Circles, Elena M. Venegas

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

Literature circles are a socially supportive context in which students can cultivate their reader identities. This is especially promising for students with lower reader self-efficacies. This qualitative multiple case study explored the positioning practices of four Grades 5–6 students with comparatively low reader self-efficacy. In literature circles, the students responded to interactive positioning (i.e., positioning by others) and/or engaged in reflexive positioning (i.e., positioned themselves). Upon interpreting the data through positioning theory, two storylines emerged. In the first storyline, students reflexively positioned themselves in literature circles as strategic, engaged readers, thereby challenging initially lower reader self-efficacies. Yet the second storyline …

Mending Wounds: A Reparative Feminist Analysis Of The Japanese Film Series Guinea Pig, Mikayla Walker

Comparative Literature M.A. Essays

Guinea Pig (ギニーピッグ) is an anthology series of six body horror films created and released in Japan from 1985 to 1990, all connected by a common theme of bodily experimentation and destruction. The series has maintained a controversial legacy due to its portrayal of intense misogynistic violence. However, upon closer examination, the films reveal subtle moments of patriarchal critique when viewed as a cohesive unit. Using Cynthia Freeland’s framework for creating feminist readings of horror films and Eve Sedgwick’s concept of reparative reading, this research aims to highlight those moments of subversion in order to create a more progressive feminist …

Hunting Without Grounds: Why Hsiao Fails To Justify Trophy Hunting, Kyle York

Between the Species

Trophy hunting is probably bad. Timothy Hsiao (2020), however, thinks that it isn’t bad. This is because he thinks that animals lack moral status. Other philosophers have tried to argue against the theoretical grounds upon which Hsiao denies moral status to animals. I suggest that Hsiao’s arguments for trophy hunting should be rejected simply because they have extremely unintuitive implications. They imply that it would be fine to play ‘panda-ball,’ a variation of baseball where players use panda cubs as bases and balls, or even to blow up planets full of panda cubs just for the fun of it. As …

Sympathy For The Robot: A Screenplay And Critical Paper, Char Lavigne

Longwood Senior Theses

Sympathy for the Robot is a feature-length science fiction screenplay following Dr. Marcus Hammond and his former student Adria Lansford on their journey to resurrect Diana, an artificial intelligence program that paralyzed Marcus and massacred dozens of his coworkers decades ago. Throughout the process of writing this screenplay I drafted, conducted research, and revised several times.
