Matriarchs, Doves, And Nymphos: Prevalent Images Of Black, Indian, And White Women In Caribbean Literature, Daryl Cumber Dance

English Faculty Publications

Universally, male writers have tended to create images of women which reveal the familiar male tendency to view women merely as functionaries whose role basically is determined by male needs, male motivations, male fears, and male fantasies. When woman is submissive, docile and pure, she is to be protected and revered; then, she is the virgin/goddess. When she is assertive and strong, she is to be avoided and despised; then, she is the bitch/shrew. When she is passionate and active, she is to be resisted and feared; she is the whore/temptress.

Meet Me In The Semiotic Glen: The Evolution Of Gender Communication In The Early Novels Of Robert Penn Warren, Lisa Day

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Sexuality in the early novels of Robert Penn Warren is generally not appealing, intimate, or indicative of love between partners, in part due to the seeming coldness of the female characters and the near-asexuality of the males. However, when both social and personal interactions between the characters are analyzed semiotically according to the theories of Julia Kristeva, a pattern emerges which explains the harshness of the bond between men and women.

Visionaries Of The American West : Mari Sandoz And Her Four Plains Protagonists, Lisa R. Lindell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The authorial reputation of Mari Sandoz has long rested in the shadow of other writers of her era. First of all, Sandoz wrote from and about a relatively remote region of the United States. In addition, she firmly refused to produce popular works at the expense of sacrificing the truth she perceived and wished to express. Consequently, Sandoz has often been classified as a regional writer and her works have been overlooked by many readers and critics.

Laws Of Internal Composition. Poems With… Problems!, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

For me, Florentin Smarandache’s appearance in the Romanian literature – I tell this from the beginning and with all my conviction –, is worth a real event. […] Not his character’s exoticism is interesting, nor his fabulous and dangerous “diligence,” but the excellent value of his unusual struggle-in-unknown that is becoming an Oeuvre.
