Annotations On - Travels In The Confederation [1783-1784], Journal Of Johann David Schoepf, John Benjamin Burroughs

HCAC Research

Johann David Schoepf was born in 1752 in the German principality of Bayreuth. Educated as a physician and natural scientist, he arrived at New York in 1777 as chief surgeon of the Ansbach troops in the service of George III. Returning to Europe in 1784, Schoepf died in 1800 while serving as president of the United Medical Colleges of Ansbach and Bayreuth. In these selected passages, Schoepf describes his travel along the north-eastern coastline of South Carolina, through what is now Horry County, and along the beach of Long Bay, now known as Myrtle Beach. He gives a description of …

Beginnings Of U.S. Pragmatism, Sociology, And Empire: Dewey, Mead, And The Philippine Problem, 1900-1930s, Peter Chua Aug 2005

Beginnings Of U.S. Pragmatism, Sociology, And Empire: Dewey, Mead, And The Philippine Problem, 1900-1930s, Peter Chua

Faculty Publications, Sociology

This paper examines how the social psychology of U.S. pragmatists John Dewey and George Herbert Mead shapes how early U.S. sociology position itself on questions of U.S. empire and geo-political dominance. It focuses also on how pragmatist thought influences how 1920s Chicago sociologists Robert Park and Emory Bogardus produced symbolic interactionist theories and studies on U.S. race and international relations.This paper makes several interventions in the history of U.S. sociological theory. It re-examines the history of U.S. sociology and the philosophy of pragmatism through the lens of empire, rather than simply a myopic looking-glass of the “race problem.” This re-examination …


The Ties That Bind: Kinship Networks And The Colonial Development Of The Planter Elite In Westmoreland County, Virginia, Jessica Diane Fields Aug 2005

The Ties That Bind: Kinship Networks And The Colonial Development Of The Planter Elite In Westmoreland County, Virginia, Jessica Diane Fields

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The development of the wealthy slave-holding elite in the Tidewater region of Northern Virginia during the mid-seventeenth through mid-eighteenth centuries was unique in that it was based on the deliberate formation of kinship networks. The members of the Old World aristocracy that migrated to Northern Virginia brought with them their traditional ideas of society. However, the New World provided opportunities to these immigrants that were unavailable to them in their native country. Therefore, a blend of Old World culture and New World opportunities merged to create a distinctive American society. This society was based on kinship networks among a dose-knit …


Gender, Sexuality, And Race: Rereading The Dakota War, Jonathan Went Aug 2005

Gender, Sexuality, And Race: Rereading The Dakota War, Jonathan Went

Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

December 26, 1862, marked the culmination of the brutal hostilities that transpired between the Dakota Indians and American soldiers and settlers over the late summer and fall months in Minnesota. The American government condemned thirtyeight Dakota men to die on the gallows as punishment for their involvement in the war. While the event served as punishment for the Dakotas, it was also a culturally pregnant spectacle that provides deeper insight into not only the war but also Dakotan and American societies. The hanging was just as much about manhood, sexuality, and race, as it was about retribution.

Organized thematically, this …


The "Essential Renewing Fantasy": The Vietnam Experience In American Literature, Jeffrey Gross Aug 2005

The "Essential Renewing Fantasy": The Vietnam Experience In American Literature, Jeffrey Gross

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this study, I employ the idea of postmodern naturalism to illustrate how Tim O'Brien addresses the postmodern era following the Vietnam War, which he achieves through form and characterization, and how he blends in a naturalistic framework where events and powers beyond his characters' control affect their lives. Such a study of six of O'Brien's novels-Northern Lights, Going After Cacciato, The Nuclear Age, The Things They Carried, In the Lake of the Woods, and July, July-is important because it unveils common motifs and structural strategies employed by O'Brien in developing an evolved and postmodern version of naturalism. Rather than …
