Review Of Aguecheek’S Beef, Belch’S Hiccup, And Other Gastronomic Interjections: Literature, Culture, And Food Among The Early Moderns By Robert Appelbaum, Elizabeth Spiller
Review Of Aguecheek’S Beef, Belch’S Hiccup, And Other Gastronomic Interjections: Literature, Culture, And Food Among The Early Moderns By Robert Appelbaum, Elizabeth Spiller
Department of English: Faculty Publications
Histories of food have traditionally emerged out of the fields of structural anthropology, ethnology, and historical sociology. More recent scholarship has emphasized the idea of foodways, those networks by which foods are produced, prepared, and consumed within different food communities. Rather than seeing rituals of culture in food, such scholarship has instead sought to understand food in terms of a circulation of physical resources and values that involves questions of economics, ecology, biology, and ethnobotany. The first approach has tended, broadly speaking, to produce scholarship that is concerned with the ritual, symbolic, and social qualities to our acts of sustenance. …

Frente Conjetural: Escritores Brasileños De Izquierda Y El Estado Novo, Luiza Franco Moreira
Comparative Literature Faculty and Student Scholarship
En el diario oficial del Estado Novo, la dictadura liderada por Getúlio Vargas en Brasil entre 1937 y 1945, un grupo de intelectuales organizaron una sección cultural, «Pensamento da América», dedicada a publicar traducciones de escritores de toda América. Basado en trabajo de archivo, este artículo reconstruye la trayectoria de esta sección cultural, desde un antifascismo y latinoamericanismo más bien en sordina durante 1941, hasta su papel de apoyo a la política exterior de Vargas durante la guerra, de 1942 en adelante. El artículo se ocupa, sobre todo, de explorar los contextos que abrieron el camino y establecieron los límites …

Kajian Metafora Dalam Puisi Tradisional Bahasa Cina., Liew Foot Yuen
Student Works (2010-2019)
In recent years, the reading of Chinese traditional poems has become more popular in the Chinese society in Malaysia. Traditional Chinese philosophical poems have even been incorporated into the Chinese language syllabus in primary as well as secondary schools. However, students still encounter difficulty in understanding the real meaning of the poems because of the artistic language of the poems which contain numerous metaphors. This is a descriptive study which aims to identify the kinds of metaphor used and the reasons for using such metaphorical items in traditional Chinese philosophical poems. In this research, 122 lexical metaphors from 30 traditional …

Questioning Objectivity In Mainstream Broadcast Journalism: The Value Of Subjectivity On "The View", Monika K. Raczkowski
Questioning Objectivity In Mainstream Broadcast Journalism: The Value Of Subjectivity On "The View", Monika K. Raczkowski
Pell Scholars and Senior Theses
The View on ABC has varying reputations. Although it has received Emmys and is critically acclaimed, many viewers discredit the discussions on the show because of the strong personalities and dissenting opinions. By looking at episodes of The View between 2009 and 2010—particularly surrounding Rihanna’s altercations with Chris Brown and her GQ photo shoot—the co-hosts provide varying opinions and interpretations that become useful to viewers who are developing their own views about the subject. Furthermore, the useful discussions on The View validate the subjective news model as a whole because unlike objectivity, subjectivity provides the opportunity for co-hosts and viewers …

"Lord Of The Flies": The Educational Value Of Golding's Text, Erin M. Frank
Pell Scholars and Senior Theses
This paper takes a careful look at the content of Lord of the Flies often questioned by censorship advocates. Next, an exploration of the import behind William Golding’s symbolic objects and characters reveals the specifics of the literary and human value of the novel. Finally, insight from case studies helps further demonstrate the appropriateness and effectiveness of the novel in high school English curriculums while also revealing student responses in regard to Golding’s work and the worldly issues informed by it.

The Biopolitical Unconscious: Not-All Persons Are Political, Ross G. Shields
The Biopolitical Unconscious: Not-All Persons Are Political, Ross G. Shields
Media and Cultural Studies Honors Projects
It is a tenet of post-structuralist theory that discursive series fail in their attempts to constitute themselves as totalities. A system can fail in two distinct ways—from Kant’s dynamic and mathematic failures of reason, to Jacques Lacan’s equation of the two failures of language with the two failures (male and female) of sex. Biopolitical theory offers the most recent account of failure and collapse, now on the geopolitical scale. Given that the biopolitical subject too is sexed, this thesis asks the question: How does biopolitics fail? Franz Kafka’s aborted novels offer a premonition to a possible answer.

Ghouls, Hell And Transcendence: The Zombie In Popular Culture From "Night Of The Living Dead" To "Shaun Of The Dead", Jasie Stokes
Ghouls, Hell And Transcendence: The Zombie In Popular Culture From "Night Of The Living Dead" To "Shaun Of The Dead", Jasie Stokes
Theses and Dissertations
Considering the amount of media created around the zombie and the sustained interest in its role in our society, we can clearly see that a cultural phenomenon is underway, and it is important for us to question this phenomenon in order to gain some understanding of how and why its appeal has stretched so far. The zombie is somehow enthralling, and it is my opinion that this is in part because the zombie is a study of what it means to be human in the postmodern world. My main purpose here is not to ask why zombies are popular or …

Literary Studies From Hermeneutics To Media Culture Studies, Siegfried J. Schmidt
Literary Studies From Hermeneutics To Media Culture Studies, Siegfried J. Schmidt
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Literary Studies from Hermeneutics to Media Culture Studies" Siegfried J. Schmidt discusses aspects of hermeneutics, the systemic and empirical (contextual) approach to literature and culture, radical constructivism, and his postulates for the field of media culture studies. Schmidt describes his understanding of the transformation of literary studies towards media culture studies in the context of overall developments of society. His argumentation with regard to move from hermeneutics to media culture studies offers the postulate that research ought to be empirical and contextual in order to foster intuition, invention, innovation, and socially relevant scholarship. He concludes that the …
Anti-Nationalism In Scott's Old Mortality, Montserrat Martínez García
Anti-Nationalism In Scott's Old Mortality, Montserrat Martínez García
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Anti-Nationalism in Scott's Old Mortality," Montserrat Martínez García examines national identity through war in Walter Scott's Old Mortality in order to illustrate that war was one of the main catalysts of nationhood and show, simultaneously, the disparity between the institutional and the popular attitude toward war. Martínez García pays attention to the way Scott portrayed war and identity and to what extent this literary representation coincided with or faced the uniform ideology of nationalism. Based on the historical background of the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, Martínez García analyses Scott's novel to uncover focus his narrative of cracks …

Sartre, Marcuse, And The Utopian Project Today, Robert T. Tally Jr.
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Sartre, Marcuse, and the Utopian Project Today," Robert T. Tally Jr. discusses the philosophical legacy of the May 1968 revolution in Paris with respect to the power of the imagination and the possibilities for utopian thought in our own time. Although the rhetoric of the 1968 militants may seem dated, the underlying theoretical and political concepts are surprisingly timely in the twenty-first century. Among these, existential angst or anxiety has perhaps a heightened salience in the era of globalization and of global economic crisis, and the utopian desire for a life without anxiety has become more pressing. …
Bassani's The Garden Of The Finzi-Continis And Italian "Queers", John Champagne
Bassani's The Garden Of The Finzi-Continis And Italian "Queers", John Champagne
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Bassani's The Garden of the Finzi-Continis and Italian 'Queers'" John Champagne argues for a reading of the novel as not gay, but queer. Champagne argues that such a reading strategy emphasizes the ways in which the novel deconstructs normative gender, sexual, and even religious identities in an attempt both to resist the tyranny of the normal and to cope with the trauma of the Italian Shoah. A psycho-analytically inflected queer theory in this instance gives us access to the complexity of the novel's portrayal of Italian Jewish identity in fascist Italy and opens up onto a reflection …

The Motif Of The Patient Wife In Muslim And Western Literature And Folklore, Mounira Monia Hejaiej
The Motif Of The Patient Wife In Muslim And Western Literature And Folklore, Mounira Monia Hejaiej
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "The Motif of the Patient Wife in Muslim and Western Literature and Folklore" Munira Hejaiej examines the tale of modern Tunisian tale of "Sabra" told by women to an all female audience. Hejaiej's analysis includes some of the tale's analogues from various linguistic and cultural contexts, including readings of the medieval variant written in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. She argues that the comparative analysis provides us with a broader scope of interpretive paths in order to deconstruct essentialized readings of the tale, on the one hand, and to challenge previously accepted conventional boundaries between cultures on the other. …
The Making Of (Post)Colonial Cities In Central Europe, Agata Anna Lisiak
The Making Of (Post)Colonial Cities In Central Europe, Agata Anna Lisiak
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "The Making of (Post)colonial Cities in Central Europe" Agata Anna Lisiak discusses some of the transformations taking place in Berlin, Budapest, Prague, and Warsaw after 1989. Lisiak proposes that Central European capitals are (post)colonial cities because their politics, cultures, societies, and economies have been shaped by two centers of power: the Soviet Union as the former colonizer, whose influence remains visible predominantly in architecture, infrastructure, social relations, and mentalities and Western culture and Western and/or global capital as the current colonizer, whose impact extends over virtually all spheres of urban life. Furthermore, the cities under scrutiny are …
Peking Opera And Grotowski's Concept Of "Poor Theatre", Yao-Kun Liu
Peking Opera And Grotowski's Concept Of "Poor Theatre", Yao-Kun Liu
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Peking Opera and Grotowski's Concept of 'Poor Theater'" Yao-kun Liu presents a comparative study of Peking opera and Western theater with special attention to Grotowski's concept. Explaining Peking opera's dramatic elements (such as gesture and body-movement) and theatrical devices (such as stage-setting, costume, and conventions) Liu elaborates on the universality and distinctions between Eastern and Western aesthetics of drama. As an attempt to reveal the speciality and uniqueness of Peking opera, Liu employs Jerzy Grotowski's notion of "poor theatre" in a context of Constantin Stanislavski's concept of empathy, Antonin Artaud's dramatic prophecy, and Peter Brook's notion of …
