The Role And Effect Of Advertising On Women During World War Ii, Laura Elizabeth Francis

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

Advertising had an overwhelming effect on women during World War II; many women were influenced by advertising in the media to behave a certain way, buy certain products, and also support the war effort in a variety of ways. In the 1940s while many American women’s husbands, fiances, boyfriends, brothers, and sons were going off to fight in the War abroad, many women were fighting a war of their own on the home front. While men could prove they were active patriotic citizens by fighting in the military and taking government positions, female’s roles were re-written to show what they …

Machine Guns, Cows, And Quarantines: Foot And Mouth Disease In The United States, Mexico And Argentina, David Nesheim

James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities

Although mad cow disease has reigned supreme as the most feared bovine malady for the last twenty years, foot and mouth disease (FMD) held that title for much of the twentieth century. Since the 1920s, it has been illegal to import fresh or frozen meat into the U.S. from countries where FMD exists. This sanitary embargo has been the source of cooperation and hostility in inter-American affairs. Some scholars consider the ban to be little more than protectionism, while others recognize the real biological threat. A cursory glance at the 1924 FMD outbreak in California reveals the high social and …

The Toilsome March: An Indiana Soldier’S Experience In The Mexican War, Nathan B. Sanderson

James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities

Historians have produced a number of full-length monographs on the Mexican War, yet virtually all of them cover the military action between the capture of Mexico City in September 1847 and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo in February 1848 in just a few pages. Overlooked are the soldiers who enlisted for military service, yet did not experience combat. Unnoticed are those whose lives were shaped by time spent in camp, on the march, and fighting boredom, instead of enemies. Many soldiers who dreamed of honor and prestige failed to find even a hint of their naïve dreams. Men …

Preserving The Old Beijing: The First Conflict Between Chinese Architects And The Communist Government In The 1950s, Xiao Hu

James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities

After the Chinese Communist Party took over mainland China in 1949, Chinese modern architecture underwent a significant change both in practice and education. Before 1949, Chinese modern architecture had been well-characterized as a Western construct. Most architects and architectural educators haad obtained their degrees from the US, France, Britain and Japan. A small group of outstanding architects was considered the backbone of Chinese architecture--men such as Liang Sicheng, Chen Zhi, and Yang Tingbao, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where Philip Crete applied his Beaux-Arts concepts in architectural teaching. When they returned to China, these architects tried to combine …

Lost Lessons: American Media Depictions Of The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial 1963-1965, Shayla Swift

James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities

The Frankfurt Auschwitz trial of 1963 marked the beginning of West Germany’s attempt to confront its horrific past. Auschwitz is one of the most well known of the Nazi concentration camps, in fact, since the fall of the Soviet block, Auschwitz has become one of the preeminent symbols of Holocaust culture, and in large part the 1963 trial in Frankfurt created our current image of it.

Auschwitz was actually a series of three camps, including the labor camps Auschwitz I, housing political prisoners; Auschwitz II, for Jews and Gypsies, and Birkenau, the killing center. Horror permeated Auschwitz like all camps …

Ugly And Monstrous: Marxist Aesthetics, Chris Rasmussen

James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities

An analysis of Marxist conceptions of the good and the beautiful and their relationship to alienation, “Ugly and Monstrous” argues that Marxism was ultimately a set of aesthetic beliefs, one that paradoxically called for the temporary cessation of all attempts to create beautiful artwork. Marx understood beauty as Kant had – that it is the result of the harmonization of the faculties that occurs when a disinterested observer encounters a work of art. Capitalism gives to all works (art included) monetary value, and all observers become interested consumers, debasing art appreciation and killing the human desire (and need) to experience …

The Literature And Memory Of World War I. Remarque, Aldington And Myrivilis: Fictionalizing The Great War., Zacharoula Christoupolou

James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities

This paper examines the basic characteristics of representation of conflict of those European prose authors whose novels about World War I are directly connected – but not identified – with personal experiences of waging trench warfare. It would be impossible to examine all the author-soldiers’ fictional accounts of World War I, but in order to give as rounded an image as possible I will be examining authors that come from different parts of Europe. The one is from Germany, Erich Maria Remarque, whose influential novel Im Westen Nichts Neues (translated as All Quiet on the Western Front) is fiction …

“Fit For The Reception Of Ladies And Gentlemen”: Power, Space, And Politeness In Eighteenth-Century Anglo-Atlantic Playhouses, Troy Thompson

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Eighteenth-century English men and women ventured to the playhouse for a night of festive revelry and entertainment. Despite the raucousness (compared to our vision of a night at the theatre), theatergoing was a polite endeavor and as such equipped with the material pleasantries of bourgeois society. But unlike other spaces reserved for the middle and upper classes, all manner of people could and did attend the theatre. Thus, particular methods of physically and visually separating social classes arose within the eighteenth-century playhouse.

In this thesis, I investigate these material phenomena, particularly the ways in which theatre managers, players, as well …

Balancing Democracy With Power: Responsibility, Order, And Justice In Reinhold Niebuhr’S World View, 1940–1949, Andy Ulrich

James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities

From the moment Reinhold Niebuhr heard of the events at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, he immediately began imagining American involvement in the peace that would follow Allied victory over the Axis powers. Arguably the most prominent Protestant theologian in the twentieth century, Niebuhr developed an intriguing view of the international system in the 1940s. Niebuhr believed it was America’s responsibility to champion a world order or community that would defend and promote justice in the face of tyranny. For justice to exist, order was necessary and democracy was the best way to promote world order, but not the …
