Chinoiserie In The Novels Of Robert Hans Van Gulik, Daniel Franklin Wright Jan 2004

Chinoiserie In The Novels Of Robert Hans Van Gulik, Daniel Franklin Wright

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

This thesis considers the cultural transactions that occur in Robert Hans van Gulik's Judge Dee stories, a set of "Chinese" investigative fiction works written by a Dutchman in English. These works are investigated through the interpretive lens of chinoiserie --an extension of Edward Said's Orientalism, named for a design aesthetic that featured the creation of "Chinese" goods by European artisans who were less interested in closely emulating Chinese styles than in creating fashionable exotica for the domestic market. Chinoiserie investigates the alterations done to foreign cultural products as they are changed to meet the domestic culture's preferences and expectations. The …

Natural Trouble, Scott Hightower Sep 2003

Natural Trouble, Scott Hightower

Poetry

Natural Trouble continues Scott Hightower’s investigation begun in Tin Can Tourist. Themes of inheritance extend through changes of landscape and bad weather to hungers, urgencies, inequities, and bereavements. Hightower also reminds us that the practice of writing is at the core of democracy: poetry seeks a foundation in the truth of the individual, guaranteed and restored through the integrity of language.


Jane Austen's Powers Of Consciousness, Diane M. Counts Jan 2003

Jane Austen's Powers Of Consciousness, Diane M. Counts

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

This thesis incorporates information from recent biographies, feminist studies, and scholarly interpretations focusing on Jane Austen's narrative strategies. Such incorporation of material provides a context for understanding the significance of Austen's contributions to the novel form and illuminating the development of the female narrative voice. It focuses on Emma, Austen's last novel published during her lifetime, as an exemplification of Austen's enunciation of a feminine perspective of life and vocalization of a growing female self-awareness - her powers of consciousness - through Emma. Of primary concern is Austen's use of narrative techniques enabling the reader to become intimately acquainted and …

Derek Walcott: A Caribbean Life By Bruce King (Book Review), Daryl Cumber Dance Jul 2002

Derek Walcott: A Caribbean Life By Bruce King (Book Review), Daryl Cumber Dance

English Faculty Publications

In Another Life Derek Walcott wrote, "I had entered the house of literature as a houseboy"; Jamaican poet Mervyn Morris signified on this image in his The Pond when he declared, "And these are my rooms now." The journey that Walcott makes from "houseboy" to master/ruler/owner of the house of literature (the Nobel Laureate is frequently acclaimed the greatest poet writing in the English language) is painstakingly detailed in Bruce King's tome Derek Walcott: A Caribbean Life.


Hybridity In Postcolonial Discourse: A Study Of Selected Plays By Wole Soyinka, Wai Wah Tham Jan 2002

Hybridity In Postcolonial Discourse: A Study Of Selected Plays By Wole Soyinka, Wai Wah Tham

Student Works (2000-2009)

Postcolonial discourse has argued that the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized is not a mere binary opposition of two separate entities. Rather, the contention is that what lies between the metropolitan center and its subordinated periphery is a dynamic site called the "liminal space", where the differences between the colonizer and the colonized are engaged in a dialogic interaction. Postcolonial study argues that this process affects the power dynamics between the two. For the marginalized, this process is potentially empowering for it presents a possible avenue for the postcolonial subject to modify the positions of dominance and subjectivity …


"And There I Found Myself More Truly And More Strange" : Narratives Of Return In Contemporary Malaysian And Singaporean Literature, Briana Lenore Shay Jan 2002

"And There I Found Myself More Truly And More Strange" : Narratives Of Return In Contemporary Malaysian And Singaporean Literature, Briana Lenore Shay

Student Works (2000-2009)

As our world is growing more mobile and fluid, the figure of the returnee is an increasingly common subject, especially in postcolonial societies. Indeed, returnees form a large. and growing, percentage of the Malaysian and Singaporean populations. This thesis examines six contemporary Malaysian and Singaporean narratives that explore the experience of characters that return to their homes after travelling or living overseas. The texts discussed include one novel, The Return, by K.S. Maniam; four short stories. "Welcome" and "Wedding Night", both by Gopal Baratham, "Return to Malaya" by Lee Kok Liang and "A Dream of China" by Ovidia Yu; and …

T(H)Ree Rhizome(S) On 'Close/Open' Encounters With Kinsella's Pastoralism Of The 'Radical' Kind, Klyth Tan Soo-Hong Jan 2002

T(H)Ree Rhizome(S) On 'Close/Open' Encounters With Kinsella's Pastoralism Of The 'Radical' Kind, Klyth Tan Soo-Hong

Theses : Honours

In his elaborative Landbridge 'statement of intent', Western Australian and International poet John Kinsella - whose phenomenal rise since the '90s is now a worldwide literary success story that needs no introduction - asserts a profound interest for the 'pastoral radical' (Kinsella, ed. Kinsella, Landbridge, 1999): “I'm particularly interested in the 'pastoral radical'- in blending the so-called pastoral tradition with the lingui.stically innovative. This 'hybrid' ironises the pastoral construct but allows for genuine movement through rural spaces. Landscape is central to my project - ways of seeing, questions of occupation and space, the position and relevance of the so-called 'lyrical …

The Influence Of Retention Intervals And Warning Signals On Prospective Memory, Michael Andrew Sarapata Dec 2001

The Influence Of Retention Intervals And Warning Signals On Prospective Memory, Michael Andrew Sarapata

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Prospective memory, memory for future events, is used for remembering duties and obligations that all people must complete. Past research has contributed to our understanding of the bases of prospective memory tasks (time versus event) and the kinds of situations requiring prospective memory (appointments, chores, deadlines, and medications). However, research has yet to examine how prospective remembering unfolds over time. For example, very little is known about how such remembering is affected by the time from when the task is encoded to the time that a task must be conducted (the retention interval), the length of the time in which …


Tales Of Other Times: A Survey Of British Historical Fiction 1770-1812, Anne H. Stevens Dec 2001

Tales Of Other Times: A Survey Of British Historical Fiction 1770-1812, Anne H. Stevens

English Faculty Research

The years 1760–1820 mark a turning point in the history of historiography. Methods for studying the past changed rapidly during this period, as did the forms in which historical knowledge was displayed. Hume famously called these years ‘the historical age’, while Foucault’s Order of Things contends that an epistemic shift from ‘order’ to ‘history’ took place around the year 1800. The historical novel, possibly the most important generic innovation of Romantic-era fiction, is also the most important and underexplored historiographic innovation of these years. Its importance has not often been recognised, however, since, following the nineteenth-century establishment of an autonomous …


Tin Can Tourist, Scott Hightower Sep 2001

Tin Can Tourist, Scott Hightower

Poetry

A world of history is a world of destinations and possibilities. In Tin Can Tourist Scott Hightower draws from a legacy larger than the limits of personal history, body, and brand. From the harsh Protestant landscape of his native central Texas to the pageantry of the historical architecture of St. Maria in Trastevere, Rome, he persues the limit of the poet. Where exactly does one begin and the world start? Hightower reflects a world containing AIDS and cancer, Caravaggio and van der Werff. Nature, interpersonal relationships, and the culture of the world—from simple to extraordinary—are all fair game. His partaking, …
