Samuel Becket's Use Of "Silence", Russell V. Watkins

English Theses & Dissertations

Silence is an important aspect of modern literature. No other living writer has made more adept use of silence in his fictional works than has Samuel Beckett. In this thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the M.A. degree in English, I provide an in-depth study of Beckett's use of silence both in his prose works and in his plays. Not only does this thesis provide an in-depth study of Beckett's use of silence, but it also provides a brief survey of how Beckets use of silence has gradually evolved in his fictional works, and comments on the significance of …

William Faulkner: The Search And The Simile, Denise R. Dick

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

William Faulkner (1897-1962) is well known for his distinctive prose style -- his word choice, his long sentences, and his chains of imagery. In this paper, three novels, Sartoris (1929), Absalom, Absalom! (1936), and The Mansion (1955) are studied to see what can be learned about Faulkner's use of the simile.

Many of Faulkner's characters are tortured by a disparity between their peaceful past and their chaotic present. It was found that Faulkner uses the greatest number of similes in the passages of the novels where the characters are searching most intensely to reconcile their past and their present. This …

Nonverbal Communication, Mary Deborah Britton

'Speechless complainer, I will learn thy thought; In thy dumb action will I be as perfect As begging Hermits in their holy prayers: Thou shalt not sigh, nor hold thy stumps to heaven, Nor wink, nor nod, nor kneel nor make a sign, But I of these will wrest an alphabet, And by still practice learn to know thy meaning.’ –Anonymous

My Work As The Visible Revelations Of My Private World, Susan Louise Ricker

Art & Art History ETDs

Seeing the subtleties of one’s own aging is difficult. The body changes slowly; the maturing process is accepted without surprise. The method by which a person gains understanding of that self-growth is by retrospective reflection not only through memory, but through an assessment of the physical by-products of one’s own life. My art is the direct link to reviewing my growth process. In this paper I will discuss the changes that have taken place in my art, how these changes are always in agreement with my personal changes, and how the two are inseparable so what either change can cause …

The Iconography Of Mesoamerican Stone Yokes, Laurie Castro

Art & Art History ETDs

In the past hundred years the significance and function of the pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican stone yoke have been widely discussed. Although it is now generally believed that the stone yoke is related in some way to the Mesoamerican ball­game, the precise role of the yoke is still not completely understood. In this study, the principle motifs of 53 stone yokes are examined and their iconography analyzed in an attempt to come to a better understanding of their relationship with and their use in the pre-Hispanic mesoamerican ballgame.

In attempting to interpret the various motifs characteristic of stone yokes from the Middle …

The Reciprocal Influence Of Georgia O'Keeffe And Alfred Stieglitz, Meridel Rubenstein

Art & Art History ETDs

This dissertation will prove that Georgia O'Keeffe, painter, and her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, photographer, had a strong influence on each other's work. This paper compares O'Keeffe and Stieglitz as working artists and traces chronologically their growth in relation to one another.

The method of comparison is used to prove their reciprocal influence. The dissertation is divided into seven different time periods in chronological order.

The first chapter examines their individual histories prior to their meeting in 1916 to prove their need for one another in terms of their images as well as the circumstances in their particular lives at the …

An Analysis Of My Work, Michele Rockstroh

Art & Art History ETDs

The figure has long been a primary source of emotional, psychological and visual interest to me. I have been involved with the making of metalwork and drawings from and about different aspects of the figure for a few years now. The work done during my M.A. program at the University of New Mexico has clarified and identified the importance of the figure to my work, and helped in my recognition of vital, inherent qualities within the figure -- emotional, psychological and visual. This, then, is an analysis of the sources for the metalwork and drawings, and an explanation of what …

"Untitled", Sharret Rose

Art & Art History ETDs

In the past two years my work has gone through many changes. It has evolved from the naive belief that a piece of art could be meaningful to all people regardless of their background, to a personal understanding that art can not be that far reaching or controlled. I am now content to paint personal symbols that convey what is important to me. It is still my belief that understanding is available to all but not from pat formulas. This thesis describes the visual changes and the thoughts behind them.

The Art Of Kiftlis Eg Marmae: An Interdisciplinary Work Exploring The Use Of Art History And Museology As Vehicles For Aesthetic Statements, Juan Manuel Cabrero-Oliver

Art & Art History ETDs

The Art of Kiftlis eg Marmae is a mixed-media, interdisciplinary work exploring the use of art history and museology as vehicles for aesthetic statements. Included in the exhibition are manuscripts and ceremonial objects from the ruins of Kiftlis eg Marmae, a Bronze-Age civilization in the Near East, discovered in 1827, by Sir Joshua Pennington. Kiftlis eg Marmae, its anthropology, mythology, language and iconography are all fictitious. The piece thus strives to present an ostensibly well researched show of antiquities supported by extensive research. A catalogue accompanies the show. The catalogue includes two articles written by pseudonyms of the artist, some …

The Old Gods Of The Obverse Of Codex Vindobonensis Mexicanus I, Jill Leslie Furst

Art & Art History ETDs

Codex Vindobonensis Mexicanus I is a prehispanic Mixtec screenfold manuscript painted on deerhide. Examination of its fifty-two pages reveals it to be the only example of a pre-Conquest Mixtec "land document" in which dominion over a specific, although as yet unidentified, area of the Mixteca Alta in southern Mexico is pictorially validated through the actions of deities. One class of these deities, the so-called "old gods," identified by their common characteristic of a single tooth in the corner of the mouth, is singled out for examination, to determine their identities, functions and roles in Mixtec cosmology and in ordering the …

The Influence Of Renaissance Neoplatonism On Michelangelo, Judith Carole Riley

History Theses & Dissertations

The problem of interpreting Michelangelo's art, and poetry in terms of the Renaissance philosophy of Neoplatonism has long been debated. After establishing that Michelangelo was personally acquainted with the major philosophers Marsillo Finco and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, selected major works by the artist are analyzed as to how they illustrate the major concepts of Neoplatonism. Supporting evidence, is drawn from Michelangelo ' poetry, in which he expressed his esthetic theory, which included the Platonic system of ideal forms; a hierarchical universe; the perfectibility of the human soul through contemplation; and the exercise of human love as preparation for divine …
