Sobering Anxieties: Alcohol, Tobacco, And The Intoxicated Social Body In Dutch Painting During The True Freedom, 1650-1672, David Beeler Feb 2014

Sobering Anxieties: Alcohol, Tobacco, And The Intoxicated Social Body In Dutch Painting During The True Freedom, 1650-1672, David Beeler

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

During the second half of the seventeenth century, alcohol and tobacco were consumed at all levels of the social strata in the Dutch Republic. These products and their consumption were important to long standing traditions and were vital to the Dutch economy. Paradoxically, however, moralists and ministers attempted to curb intoxication by associating it with the loss of one's masculinity or femininity. Intoxicated men and women were stigmatized as morally inept, unruly, and a threat to the family, community, and even the nation. Dutch genre paintings depicting alcohol and tobacco consumption are often described as moral warnings or didactic messages, …

A Living Image: Newspaper Sketches In The American Civil War, Bryan G. Caswell Feb 2014

A Living Image: Newspaper Sketches In The American Civil War, Bryan G. Caswell

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History

Photography: the ability to capture a moment in time exactly as it appeared, to then preserve it for posterity, even mass produce it for a wide viewership. A relatively new concept by the beginning of the American Civil War, photography quickly came into its own in the hands of such legends as Matthew Bray and Alexander Gardner as they sought to document the furious storm which had swept over the land. Photographs of the Civil War are prolific, and for many the memory of the conflict is intertwined with black-and-white photographs of unsmiling men and corpses bloating in the sun. …

No Blood In The Water: The Legal And Gender Conspiracies Against Countess Elizabeth Bathory In Historical Context, Rachael Leigh Bledsaw Feb 2014

No Blood In The Water: The Legal And Gender Conspiracies Against Countess Elizabeth Bathory In Historical Context, Rachael Leigh Bledsaw

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explains and discusses the conspiracies reported against the Hungarian noblewoman, Countess Elizabeth Bathory, regarding her confinement and the arrest of her accomplices in December 1610. The conspiracies state that the Countess was unjustly targeted and charged not because she was guilty of the deaths of several dozen girls from torture, but because she represented a threat to the Hapsburg Empire due to her wealth, her political influence, and her widowhood. This thesis explores the rationality of these two conspiracies using historical context regarding the position of noblewomen in Central and Eastern Europe and the function and use of …

Emotional Response To Late Medieval Plague, John D. Young, Larry Bolick Feb 2014

Emotional Response To Late Medieval Plague, John D. Young, Larry Bolick

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The Black Death and subsequent outbreaks of bubonic and pneumonic plague in late medieval Europe violently jarred the European mind-set. Particularly damaging were the intense emotions fostered in the hearts and minds of common Europeans during this pivotal period. By studying the emotional responses to these plague episodes, we may gain a deeper understanding of the medieval European weltanschauung, for the emotionally-charged documents of the plague period reveal much about the values and conventions of medieval society. From these documents we may reconstruct, to an extent, the collective and individual mind-set of plague-stricken Europe.

Women’S Needlework In Eighteenth-Century England And America: A Cross-Cultural Comparison, Hilary Pothier, Dr. Martha Peacock Feb 2014

Women’S Needlework In Eighteenth-Century England And America: A Cross-Cultural Comparison, Hilary Pothier, Dr. Martha Peacock

Journal of Undergraduate Research

In the past eight months, I have completed a great deal of research in a cross-cultural comparison of women’s needlework in England and America during the eighteenth century. The majority of my research focused on women’s embroidery in England during the time period, because I had already spent considerable time researching the American portion of my project. My research revealed that on both continents, the religious subjects of embroidered wall hangings were quite similar. However, a greater amount of England’s population had leisure time to complete such activities. The more vigorous frontier lifestyle of the settlers in New England did …

Intervention, Mormons, And The Orozco Revolution, Douglas P. Larsen, Dr. Shawn W. Miller Feb 2014

Intervention, Mormons, And The Orozco Revolution, Douglas P. Larsen, Dr. Shawn W. Miller

Journal of Undergraduate Research

In the summer of 1912 several hundred Mormon colonists fled their homes in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. They feared for their lives as retreating Orozquista bands moved through the region. Despite revolutionary activities since 1910, the Mormon colonies had enjoyed a relatively peaceful existence until the defeated troops of Pascual Orozco began returning to their homelands. This sudden change in circumstances raises the question of why the Mormons were forced to leave. A stream of Americans had left Mexico since the beginning of the Revolution. However, such a large body of people had not left en masse before. …

Indian Illnesses Due To Mercury Poisoning At The Colonial Spanish Mining Community At Huancavelica, Peru In The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries, James D. Harrop, Dr. Kendall Brown Feb 2014

Indian Illnesses Due To Mercury Poisoning At The Colonial Spanish Mining Community At Huancavelica, Peru In The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries, James D. Harrop, Dr. Kendall Brown

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The Spanish mining operations in the Americas during Colonial times were operated by the only supply of manpower available to the Spanish; the indigenous peoples. Huancavelica was a mercury mine essential to the continued production of the silver mines. Mercury was necessary to extract silver from ore and was rarely found in such high deposits as at Huancavelica.

The Forgotten Victims: Ethnic Minorities In The Nigeria-Biafra War, 1967-1970, Arua Oko Omaka

Journal of Retracing Africa

The Nigeria-Biafra War attracted enormous international attention not just for the brutal events of the period, but also because of how the conflict was interpreted, especially by foreigners. The ghastly images of victims of the war dominated the international media and roused the world’s conscience. The confl ict took a toll on human lives on both the Igbo and the ethnic minorities in Biafra. While the Igbo tragedy was largely perpetrated in Northern Nigeria, that of the Biafran minorities – Efi k, Ijaw, Ogoja, Ibibio – occurred mainly in their homelands. The gory experiences suff ered by the Biafran minorities …

For Those At Home: The Romantic Nature Of Civil War Lithography, Megan A. Sutter Feb 2014

For Those At Home: The Romantic Nature Of Civil War Lithography, Megan A. Sutter

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History

Lithography, the art of drawing on stone, was an important part of American Victorian culture during the Civil War. Not only did lithography provide news in pictorial form, but it also was widely displayed in the home. With the economic move from home to factory during the early 19th century, the home became more of a “sanctuary” in which women could decorate and display. [excerpt]
