Rain May Be Heavy At Times: A Collection Of Personal Essays, Natalie Mercer Worrell Jan 2008

Rain May Be Heavy At Times: A Collection Of Personal Essays, Natalie Mercer Worrell

Theses

Rain May Be Heavy at Times: A Collection of Personal Essays by Natalie Mercer Worrell is a candid, witty, and emotionally resonant exploration of modern womanhood, family life, and personal growth. Through a series of sharply observed and deeply personal essays, Worrell shares her experiences as a young mother, divorcee, student, and writer, balancing everyday chaos with moments of insight and humor. The collection opens with reflections on the challenges of rekindling a long-dormant writing practice, interrupted by illness, early motherhood, and financial hardship.

Become A Name, James Steed Jan 2008

Become A Name, James Steed

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis takes the form of a memoir, exploring the possibility of finding meaning in personal narratives by applying the archetypal structure of myth and legend. Using the Quest for the Holy Grail as an analogy for the author's life, personal essays are arranged in relation to the stages of the Grail Quest, as they reflect the author's search for wholeness. Referring to Carl Jung's extensive work with the mandala as a visual symbol of the self, Emma Jung's work on the Grail Quest as an archetypal representation of human psychological growth toward a unified self, and Anthony Giddens's research …


Connections Available On The Land: A Reflection On Place And Writing, Michael Robert Hodge Jan 2008

Connections Available On The Land: A Reflection On Place And Writing, Michael Robert Hodge

Theses and Dissertations

This is a collection of three personal essays, two of which are each coupled with an encyclopedia article also written by the author that deals with significant places in the author's life. Through the experience of writing in diverse forms, the author seeks to resolve for himself the connections between personal writing and more formal genres. As a common subject linking the two different types of writing, the concept of “place” is also explored. The author discusses relevant influences on his writing, reflects on the experience of writing in two different forms and discusses some conclusions in an afterward.


Reviewing The Author-Function In The Age Of Wikipedia, Amit Ray, Erhardt Graeff Jan 2008

Reviewing The Author-Function In The Age Of Wikipedia, Amit Ray, Erhardt Graeff

Articles

In "Reviewing the Author-Function in the Age of Wikipedia," Amit Ray and Erhardt Graeff examine how wiki technology challenges traditional concepts of authorship and authority in knowledge production. The authors build on poststructuralist theory, particularly Roland Barthes's "Death of the Author" and Michel Foucault's concept of the "author-function," to analyze how wikis destabilize individual authorship in favor of collaborative, community-driven content creation.

The essay argues that wikis represent a fundamental shift from the Romantic notion of the solitary author-genius to what they term the "wiki writing process"—a dynamic system where traditional roles of reader, writer, and editor blur into a …
