Disease, Extinction, And Emergences In T.C. Boyle’S Friend Of Earth And Margaret Atwood’S Oryx And Crake, Caroline Schaumann, Heather I. Sullivan
Disease, Extinction, And Emergences In T.C. Boyle’S Friend Of Earth And Margaret Atwood’S Oryx And Crake, Caroline Schaumann, Heather I. Sullivan
Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research
In this essay, we address Boyle’s A Friend of the Earth (2000) and Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2003) as climate fiction that plays out equally devastating yet realistic futuristic scenarios. In creative thought experiments, science fiction helps us to recognize humans as a collective force, a force that conquers, shapes, destroys, and rebuilds the planet in pre- and post-apocalyptic bouts not unlike the pre- and post-pandemic times we are now experiencing. Our focus on these two science fiction novels is on the intersectionality of emergent environments, extinctions, and diseases within the framework of climate change.
Goethes Pflanzen Und Das ,,Dunkle Griin", Heather I. Sullivan
Goethes Pflanzen Und Das ,,Dunkle Griin", Heather I. Sullivan
Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research
Abstract: In Goethe's works, plants abound; as such, they offer many insights for this critical plant studies project on plants and humans in the early Anthropocene. From Werther and die Novelle to Hermann und Dorothea, Faust and his scientific writings, we find three categories of plant depictions: first as embodiments of green vitality that elicit emotional responses; second, as humanly-shaped cultivations or horticultural realms; and third, we find inklings of the promise of actual vegetal agency establishing the very world in which we human beings and all other animals live. In Goethe's wide-ranging botanical ideas, the modern collision between …
‘Chismes De La Ciudad Letrada’: Nostalgia, Exilio Y La Construcción Del Canon Cubano En La Ensayística De Cabrera Infante, Ana B. Rodriguez Navas
‘Chismes De La Ciudad Letrada’: Nostalgia, Exilio Y La Construcción Del Canon Cubano En La Ensayística De Cabrera Infante, Ana B. Rodriguez Navas
Modern Languages and Literatures: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Rafael Rojas afirma que Guillermo Cabrera Infante estetiza “los rumores y chismes de la ciudad letrada”. A propósito de la crítica reciente sobre el chisme y del trabajo de Svetlana Boym sobre la nostalgia, planteo que Cabrera aprovecha el placer ilícito del chisme para recircular historias suprimidas y reintroducirse en el canon cubano. Sus chismes se convierten así en saber aceptado, que preservan la memoria de numerosos intelectuales cubanos y consolidan el propio estado de Cabrera en el canon. El autor valida el chisme como acto nostálgico y demuestra su potencial como estrategia narrativa eficaz y no solo como creación …
Walt Disney And China: How Glocalization Shaped Shanghai Disneyland, Becca Maclellan
Walt Disney And China: How Glocalization Shaped Shanghai Disneyland, Becca Maclellan
Modern Languages, Philosophy and Classics Theses
This thesis applies the glocalization theory to a comparative study of the Disney theme parks in the United States and Shanghai, China. It argues that Walt Disney’s glocalization through integrating Chinese culture into the Shanghai Disney theme park brought commercial success to the company. Additionally, it also set up a good example for other businesses interested in global expansion.
Laws For The Support Of Transgenders In Argentina And Brazil, Elias Choclin
Laws For The Support Of Transgenders In Argentina And Brazil, Elias Choclin
Modern Languages, Philosophy and Classics Theses
In the last decade, the feminist and LGBTQ+ movements have shown the challenges transgender people face in different countries of the world. Specifically, Brazil and Argentina have proposed different regulations and laws that protect these individuals from violence and that intend to incorporate them into the job market. However, these countries have vastly different policies regarding healthcare for transgenders such as transition medication and surgeries, which will be further identified and explained in the paper.
Lost In Adaptation:The Silencing Of The French Female Concierge, Mariah Devereux Herbeck
Lost In Adaptation:The Silencing Of The French Female Concierge, Mariah Devereux Herbeck
World Languages Faculty Publications and Presentations
Fictional representations of the female concierge frequently underscore her negative attributes, above all her meddlesome discourse. The female concierge character in Georges Simenon's 1933 novel, Les fiançailles de M. Hire, however, provides an exception to the rule as local law authorities give credence to her word and base their investigation on her testimony. However, in two filmic adaptations of the novel—Duvivier's Panique (1946) and Patrice Leconte's Monsieur Hire (1989)—the female concierge character is practically absent. This article demonstrates how, from page to screen, the concierge's role is dissected, disembodied, and displaced in Duvivier's and Leconte's films, and finally reflects …

An Outline Of Romanticism In The West, John C. Isbell
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications
Navigating the landscape of Romantic literature and art across Europe and the Americas, An Outline of Romanticism in the West invites readers to embark upon a literary journey. Showcasing a breadth of theoretical and contextual approaches to the study of Romanticism, John Isbell provides an insightful contemporary overview of the field, paired with wide-ranging comparative reflections on the art and literature that helped shape it. Discussing seminal Romantic texts such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or Germaine de Staël’s Corinne ou l’Italie, Isbell provides a foundation through which to investigate core concepts, such as the continuum of Romance, the Romantic hero, …

Denouncing Gender Violence In Spain And Rewriting The Female Narrative, Irene Kotyk
Denouncing Gender Violence In Spain And Rewriting The Female Narrative, Irene Kotyk
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This paper analyzes how Spanish female artists across Spain denounce domestic violence by exposing abuse and the culture of women domination in public spaces. Gender violence is important to analyze because it is a current issue in Spain, and globally, as there is a fight for gender equality in countries around the world. Technically speaking, domestic violence includes physical, emotional, and sexual abuse occurring between partners or within a family (Dutton). Recently, many artists across Spain are looking to reconstruct a new narrative for women. This paper will look at how gender-based violence against women was practiced throughout the Spanish …
Fostering Successful Communities Of Collaboration Through Educational Partnerships: Strengthening Bilingual Learners' Language And Literacy Achievement Along The Texas-Mexican Border, Isela Almaguer
Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications
There is an undisputable need to form collaborative partnerships between schools, families, homes, and communities across the nation. Collaborative educational partnerships are the cornerstone for student success. With increasingly diverse student populations, schools must communicate and collaborate with families and communities to bridge the wide gap that exists between home and school. With a dominant Spanish-speaking population of Mexican descent, as that of children living in the Southern tip of the Texas-Mexican border, known as The Rio Grande Valley, barriers such as low social economic status and limited English proficiency may impede much-needed communication between schools, homes, and communities. These …

"Rerum Vel Dictu Obscenarum" De Subventione Pauperum And The Ambivalence Of The Humanitarian Narratives Of Early Modernity, Luis Fernando Restrepo
"Rerum Vel Dictu Obscenarum" De Subventione Pauperum And The Ambivalence Of The Humanitarian Narratives Of Early Modernity, Luis Fernando Restrepo
World Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Publications and Presentations
This essay examines the De Subventione Pauperum treatise (On Assistance to the Poor, 1526) by the humanist Juan Luis Vives as a humanitarian narrative of early modernity. Contradictorily, the plan to help the indigent population presents a derogatory view of poverty that reflects the inconsistencies of the civilizing project of Renaissance Christian humanism and reveals the biopolitics of the nascent modern state and humanitarian imperial reasoning. The first section analyzes the treatise as a humanitarian narrative, with special focus on the role of emotions in the interpellation of the reader, especially the ambivalent presence of the discourse on disgust …
The ‘Poetry Of Old Roofs’: Edith Wharton And The Art Of Architecture, Elizabeth Emery
The ‘Poetry Of Old Roofs’: Edith Wharton And The Art Of Architecture, Elizabeth Emery
Department of World Languages and Cultures Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
Known internationally for novels such as The House of Mirth (1905) and The Age of Innocence (1921), New York-born Edith Wharton (1862-1937) began her writing career as a poet in 1878 with a self-published volume of Verses. She equated the work of architects and garden designers to that of poets in travel essays from the 1890s and early 1900s, many of which were collected and republished under the titles Italian Villas and their Gardens (1904), Italian Backgrounds (1905), and A Motor-Flight Through France (1908). The present article explores the aesthetics of writing, architecture, and home design in the earliest part …

After countless petitions and complaints from end users, live subtitling quality is slowly attracting the attention of broadcasters, regulators, the subtitling industry and scholars working in Media Accessibility. These stakeholders share an interest in providing better live subtitles, but their quality assessment is a thorny issue. Although quality studies are still scarce, the research undertaken so far has proven valuable in identifying the weaknesses of live subtitles in several countries. This article presents the main findings of the pilot project that preceded the first national quality assessment in Spain, which is currently underway. By focusing on this case study, we …
