Albert Camus At 100 : A Mediterranean Son Of France, Eamon Maher
Albert Camus At 100 : A Mediterranean Son Of France, Eamon Maher
Articles
THIS YEAR marks the centenary of the birth of one of the world's finest writers, the French-Algerian Albert Camus (1913-1960). When his father, a pied-noir farm labourer died fighting in the French army during the First World War, Camus' mother, Catherine, was forced to work as a cleaner to provide for her two sons. The younger one, Albert, demonstrated academic talent from an early age and managed to continue in education due to the interest taken in him by two inspirational teachers, Louis Germain and the well-known philosopher, Jean Grenier. He was also awarded scholarships, without which he could not …
Using Second Language Learning To Improve Self-Esteem Among K-12 Homeless School Children Of Dallas, Texas, William Miller Walker
Using Second Language Learning To Improve Self-Esteem Among K-12 Homeless School Children Of Dallas, Texas, William Miller Walker
Collection of Engaged Learning
This dissertation will explain the process and steps taken to prove the statement that using second language learning can improve self-esteem among K-12 homeless school children of Dallas, Texas. I began by researching the hardships that homeless students experience and then used that information to formulate a program in which I would teach basic French language and culture to a group of K-12 homeless students. Through the use of a valid and reliable self-esteem measurement survey, I was able to track changes in participant’s self-esteem to validate my hypothesis.

Shaping Public Space: Examining The Musée D’Orsay And Modern Louvre, Heather Jacques Wood, Dr. Daryl Lee
Shaping Public Space: Examining The Musée D’Orsay And Modern Louvre, Heather Jacques Wood, Dr. Daryl Lee
Journal of Undergraduate Research
For this project, I wrote an honors thesis examining how museum space—understood as a form of public space—has been shaped by the forces of politics, culture, and public space theories. Two museums in particular, the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée du Louvre, served as case studies and as sources for comparison and contrast. My examination focused on the time from 1980 to present, as these years reflect a significant era of birth and change for both museums. As an additional contrast, I examined the impact of the same shaping forces listed above—politics, culture, and public space theories—on a museum yet …
The Flesh And The Word: The Political And Theological Implications Of The Bibles Moralisées, Anna C. Siebach, Dr. Jesse Hurlbut
The Flesh And The Word: The Political And Theological Implications Of The Bibles Moralisées, Anna C. Siebach, Dr. Jesse Hurlbut
Journal of Undergraduate Research
At the beginning of the thirteenth century, around 1220-30, Blanche of Castille commissioned a Bible the likes of which had never before been produced. This bible, now known as Vienna 2554, consisted of four verses per page, each one linked with an exegetical gloss of the biblical text. Down the center of the page ran two columns of medallions, each one representing the text—whether biblical verse or gloss—placed next to it. With this manuscript began the royal tradition of the Bibles moralisées, a group of seven existing manuscripts, all based on the same theological and practical design.

Figuring The Text Of Salvation: Text And Image In Guillaume De Digulleville’S Pèlerinage De L’Âme, Anna S. Larsen, Dr. Jesse Hurlbut
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Between the years of 1355 and 1358, Guillaume de Digulleville, a Cistercian monk from Châlis, wrote Le pèlerinage de l’âme, the second poem in a trilogy of allegorical pilgrimages. This poem, along with its predecessor Le pèlerinage de la vie humaine and its successor Le pèlerinage de Jhesu Christ proved to be one of the most popular literary works of the 14th and 15th centuries. Seventy-five known manuscripts exist which contain one or more poems from the trilogy, demonstrating that they circulated through England, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and France. The trilogy was translated into English, Castilian, German, Italian, Dutch and …
The Medieval Forms And Meanings Of Francois: The Political And Cultural Vicissitudes Of An Ethnonym, Levilson C. Reis
The Medieval Forms And Meanings Of Francois: The Political And Cultural Vicissitudes Of An Ethnonym, Levilson C. Reis
Modern Languages & Cultures Faculty Scholarship
The article looks at the evolution of the ethnonym Francois in the Middle Ages and its significance to Germanic peoples known as Franks in the context of their cross-cultural relations with Muslim, Byzantine and British people. The author analyzes chronicles of the First Crusade and examines the use of Francois as an exonym and an autonym, and its role in the development of the French identity.

Gifts In The Burgundian Court Analyzing Financial Records From The Fifteenth Century, Liel Boyce, Dr. Jesse Hurlbut
Gifts In The Burgundian Court Analyzing Financial Records From The Fifteenth Century, Liel Boyce, Dr. Jesse Hurlbut
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The Duke of Burgundy was a major broker of art, culture, civilization and power in Western Europe in the fifteenth century. The administration of his wealth and all his expenditures was centralized in a single office called the “Chambre des Comptes.” These annual records span nearly the entire century, and, in most cases, at least one of the copies from each year survives today. In an earlier project under a former MEG grant, Professor Hurlbut and a small team of students photographed these historical documents from the departmental archives in Lille, France. However, because of the archaic, stylized lettering in …

Caragiale: An Experience In 20th Century Romanian Cinema, Michael Wilson, Dr. Anca Sprenger
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The “new wave of Romanian Cinema,” as the recent success of films by a handful of Romanian directors has been named, has made quite a splash in the pool of International Cinema. At the Cannes International Film Festival, the most prestigious film festival in the world, Romanian films have been taking the competition by surprise. In the last 4 years, Romanian directors have taken home seven prestigious awards, including two Palme d’Or, the equivalent of the grand prize given at Cannes. A.O. Scott, a film critic for the New York Times, puts it this way:

This grant has enabled me to embark upon an exciting project that will improve the tools available in the field of French Language acquisition, a video disc textbook. This project contains three main objectives: 1) set up a bilingual database of the images necessary to compile a “little c” culture textbook [i.e. the small, day to day activities that set apart daily life in France from other cultures], 2) obtain the actual images, 3) work with a publishing company and submit it for publication.
Balzac And A Christian Narrative Model: A Message For Modern France, Morgan Dennis, Dr. Scott Sprenger
Balzac And A Christian Narrative Model: A Message For Modern France, Morgan Dennis, Dr. Scott Sprenger
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Honoré de Balzac was one of the most prolific French authors in the 19th century, and scholars around the world publish numerous articles and books about his enormous collection of novels (known as La Comédie Humaine) every year. Despite the fact that religious symbols, references, and images abound through Balzac’s fiction and non-fiction writings, the religious dimension of his novels has largely been ignored because of the secular state of much of modern academics today. When I learned this in Dr. Scott Sprenger’s class during the winter semester of 2008 as we read several of Balzac’s novels, I decided to …
Jeanine Meerapfel And Her Films – An Interview, Jonathan Smith, Dr. Daryl Lee
Jeanine Meerapfel And Her Films – An Interview, Jonathan Smith, Dr. Daryl Lee
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Jeanine Meerapfel has been a professional filmmaker for 30 years and is an important, though often overlooked, voice in German and Argentine cinema. Meerapfel, born in Argentina to German-Jewish parents who fled Germany during World War II, has worked in Germany, Argentina, and Greece, and has directed both fiction and documentary films. Since her first feature film, Malou [1981], she has tackled issues of immigration, identity and how one reconciles the past, with each subsequent film adding to the discussion of those issues. Jeanine Meerapfel’s work is fascinatingly complex and often defies rudimentary forms of categorization, proving far more complicated …

Summary Of Creative Research Grant Results And Artistic Statement, Erika Feinauer, Dr. Michael Bus
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The purpose of this project was to obtain materials for a photo database to be used in French language instruction. This was accomplished by traveling to France and taking a myriad of pictures. I was in France from April 12 to May 8, 1996. My sister traveled with me and was my aide. We bought Eurorail Passes for the trains, and made it a backpacking excursion. I feel that we made significant contributions to the project in terms of volume of photographs, however, I was surprised at some of the difficulties that I encountered. I hadn’t foreseen some of the …

Teaching French Literacy In West Africa As Part Of A Byu Study Abroad Program, Charles Thomas Sones, Dr. Chantel P. Thompson
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Before arriving in Africa, our contact had arranged for us to work in a village outside of Saint-Louis, Senegal, within walking distance of where we would be studying. We were told that a group of twenty adults and twenty children were already selected who needed literacy skills. Although we were not sure of their specific levels, we were told that most had no literacy skills and many would have no French language skills.

Summary Of Creative Project—Images Of French Canada: An Educational Tool For The French Language Classroom, Heather A. Young, Dr. Michael Bush
Journal of Undergraduate Research
This creative project constitutes one component of an initiative undertaken by Dr. Michael Bush to obtain and use culturally authentic images of everyday life in Francophone countries to illustrate lexical and grammatical concepts in the French language classroom. Receiving the ORCA Scholarship enabled me to take over 830 photographs illustrating a broad range of concepts, which will be used in classroom instruction at BYU and will eventually be made available to French language teachers across the United States. These photos are in addition to well over 3000 images which have already been obtained by other students.

The Effect Of Socioeconomic Status On Student Perceptions Of Instructional Communication Behaviors, Samuel A. Crecelius
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In spite of desegregation and efforts to provide equitable education for all students, minorities and students living in poverty continue to underperform their peers. Education theorists have attributed this achievement gap to a cultural mismatch between students and their teachers and schools. At the same time, instructional communication research has found that cultural differences may influence student perceptions of teacher communication behaviors and that these behaviors have an effect on learning outcomes. Interestingly, while race has received extensive study in the instructional communication literature, little research has examined the role of socioeconomic status on students’ perceptions of instructor communication behaviors. …

Use Of The Combination Of The Brief And Basc-2 In Assessment Of Adhd, Andrea R. Knoll
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
ADHD is one of the most frequently diagnosed childhood disorders in the United States today; however, diagnostic specificity remains challenging. Accepted models of ADHD routinely highlight the role of executive function (EF) deficits as a core feature of ADHD. However, performance based measures of EF do not consistently discriminate between ADHD and no-ADHD clinical groups. Research has supported use of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) in discriminating between ADHD and no-ADHD and between subtypes. However, EF deficits can occur for various reasons. Broad range behavior rating scales help identify areas of behavioral concern that may aid clinicians …
The Effects Of Mindfulness Meditation And Resonant Frequency Breath Training On Emotion Regulation And Physiological Responses, Timothy James Neary
The Effects Of Mindfulness Meditation And Resonant Frequency Breath Training On Emotion Regulation And Physiological Responses, Timothy James Neary
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Efficient, integrative methods to foster greater emotion regulation that are applicable to diverse populations are needed. Mindfulness meditation and resonant frequency breath training are independently positively correlated with changes in emotion regulation. The acquisition of effective emotion regulation strategies may be amplified by the interaction of mindfulness meditation practice and resonant frequency breath training. A sample of 82 undergraduate novice meditators were randomized in a four group design utilizing a control, mindfulness only, resonance only, and combined mindfulness and resonance breath training conditions delivered in a three-week intervention. Self-report measures assessed the use of emotion regulation strategies (ERQ), changes in …
