Title: "Double sustainability" in Botswana and South Africa: the case of the san in the central Kalahari game reserve and Kgalagadi transfrontier park.
Creator: Nelson, Lindsay, O’Brien, William, Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
Abstract/Description: The question of land access rights for indigenous peoples is now a prominent theme in the management of large parks and game reserves in Africa. This comparative study addresses different government responses to this question regarding land dispossession of the San in Southern Africa. Ancestral lands of this unique and marginalized indigenous population had been rendered off limits by the creation of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP) in South Africa and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve ...
Show moreThe question of land access rights for indigenous peoples is now a prominent theme in the management of large parks and game reserves in Africa. This comparative study addresses different government responses to this question regarding land dispossession of the San in Southern Africa. Ancestral lands of this unique and marginalized indigenous population had been rendered off limits by the creation of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP) in South Africa and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) in Botswana. In more recent years, the government of Botswana and the post-apartheid government of South Africa have pursued quite divergent approaches to addressing the question of renewed San access rights in the parks. Central to the comparative analysis in this study is the degree to which South Africa and Botswana have embraced the concept of “double sustainability” in park management, which emphasizes the protection of biodiversity and people’s livelihoods at the same time.

Title: "Falling on deaf ears": A historical treatment of fibromyalgia.

Show moreFrom 1850 to the present doctors have been examining the phenomenon now known as fibromyalgia, primarily in upper-middle class women. Some sources relate this to a lack of clearly defined roles for women since industrialization and urbanization changed family life. Medicine has not been able to effectively determine the etiology and treatment for this syndrome. Women's voices are "falling on deaf ears". Documented cases of fibromyalgia go back as far as biblical times. It is found in all geographic areas and has been labeled with many different names. In spite of these facts, it was not until 1990 that a name and a diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia syndrome was established. In order to understand the impact illness has had on women this paper will explore the relationship of historical events, social and medical views toward women and fibromyalgia-like illnesses from 1850 to the present.

Interviews with six nurse managers were utilized to generate data and then transcribed into text. The researcher's analysis of the data followed the phenomenological method as interpreted by Ray. Essential themes of growth, listening, frustration, intuition, support, and receiving of gifts were described by participants. Variant themes of touch, humor, flexibility, counseling, limitations, and competence also emerged. Interpretive themes of nurses' way of being, reciprocal caring, and caring moment as transcendence unfolded. A metatheme of energy emerged from further analysis. Deeper reflection and intuition afforded the researcher the opportunity to grasp the unity of meaning as a metaphorical snowflake and poetic expression.

Title: "Floating realities": Multi-dimensionality in T. S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock".
Creator: Lewman, Monica Laine., Florida Atlantic University, Paton, Priscilla
Abstract/Description: Concentrating on Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," with M. L. Rosenthal's term "floating realities" as my starting point, I discuss how time and its malleable nature relates to Prufrock's "linear reality" and his "non-linear" "floating realities." Prufrock's "linear reality" is the external world of appearances and his internal psychological landscape. I then reveal the "floating realities" that are generated by Eliot's otherworldly allusions.

Title: "Fore-conceit," autonomy, and Sidney's view of mimesis.
Creator: Lewis, Steven Michael., Florida Atlantic University, Collins, Robert A.
Abstract/Description: In Sidney's conception of mimesis, a pyramid of autonomy exists with God as the ultimate artificer, and the succeeding levels peopled with human artificers, then fictional artificers. The autonomous character of each descending artificer connects one to the power of the heavenly maker. Sidney's use of mimesis argues for cognizance of our innate capacities, for which we are grateful solely to God.

Show moreIn Sidney's conception of mimesis, a pyramid of autonomy exists with God as the ultimate artificer, and the succeeding levels peopled with human artificers, then fictional artificers. The autonomous character of each descending artificer connects one to the power of the heavenly maker. Sidney's use of mimesis argues for cognizance of our innate capacities, for which we are grateful solely to God. In creating the characters of The Old Arcadia, Sidney first endows them with the capacity for "fore-conceit," a necessary corollary to Free will, the essential aspect of man's condition as Sidney conceived it. By emphasizing the artificer/artifact relationship on successive levels, Sidney implies the focal importance of the creative process. Because Sidney's artifacts are constructed in the image of their maker, despite the limitations of an "infected will," they are also artificers themselves, at least insofar as they approach a true mimesis of the nature of man.

The phenomenon of excellence in practice is a commonly cited goal of individual nurses, as well as of organized departments of nursing service and nursing education. Ray's phenomenological method was used to describe and identify themes and to construct the meaning of excellence in nursing practice experience as used in the language by nurses. Registered nurses were interviewed by using an open-ended question technique. In addition, audiotape was employed, and the interviews were transcribed to text. The phenomenological analytic method of dwelling with and describing the data was used to identify emergent themes. The themes allowed for the emergence of a unity of meaning of the lived experience of excellence in nursing practice. Relationships with and visions for nursing were presented.

Gawain's journey is the direct result of a challenge offered by the Green Knight under the guise of a Christmas game. Metaphorically, his actions are reflected by the pentangle, which although composed of oppositions, always leads back to itself. Gawain'3 divided consciousness is further symbolized by the Virgin-shield, which alludes to caritas, and the magic girdle, which alludes to cupiditas. Their opposition forms the basic conflict of the poem: between spirit and flesh. These symbols initiate two sequences of action wherein Gawain is tested, fails and is absolved. He returns to Camelot a new man, wiser for his folly, a true exemplar of Christianity as symbolized by the pentangle virtues.

Title: "Going Greek": A social history of Jewish college fraternities in the United States, 1895-1945.

Show moreSecret student societies have an extensive history reaching back to medieval Europe. In the U.S., the so-called "Greek System" began its ascent in influence at American colleges from the 1820s onward and in particular after the Civil War (the use of Greek letters was meant to recall the glories of the ancients and to stress the difference between the "Greeks" on the one hand, and the excluded "barbarians" on the other). Despite their objectionable aspects, college administrators saw fraternities as an advantageous and inexpensive way to feed, house, and control students, as well as to foster alumni loyalty. In addition, the social training and contacts students gained were considered an asset in the world of business and public life following graduation into an increasingly industrialized and capitalist working world. By 1900 the "Greek system" was an integral part of American higher education, completely dominating campus social life and student politics even when members did not make up the numerical majority., However, the system was effectively barred to Jews because of Christian symbolism inherent in fraternity rituals, the reluctance to share living quarters with them, and most often explicit racial and religious restrictive clauses in fraternity constitutions. Such exclusion was intolerable for an immigrant/ethnic group which sought higher education as a form of social and economic advancement and which attended college and professional school in hugely disproportionate numbers. American Jews with means to do so therefore both retaliated and sought comfort among their own by forming a complete parallel fraternity and sorority system which functioned separately from the Gentile groups into the 1950s and in some cases well into the 1960s, until a combination of anti-sectarianism, student indifference, and profound changes in post-World War II American society led to its decline., This work is an institutional biography and impressionistic narrative using surviving archives and periodicals of the historically Jewish fraternities concentrating on their heyday from 1920 to 1940 and focussing on the twin themes of external anti-Semitism and internal self-hatred. Other themes include: manifestations of the "Best Behavior" syndrome, whereby Jews sought safety by punctilious observance of Gentile modes of deportment; vocational fears of young Jews, especially during the Great Depression; the phenomenon of Jewish student migrancy; intergenerational relations between alumni and undergraduate members; and finally, the extensive social life and match-making role of the Jewish fraternity system.

Title: "Headlong Hall" to "Gryll Grange": A comparison of the first and last novels of Thomas Love Peacock.
Creator: Cochran, Michael Edward., Florida Atlantic University, Coyle, William
Abstract/Description: Thomas Love Peacock is best known for the five unique "novels of talk" that he wrote between 1815 and 1860. The first, Headlong Hall, contains humorous satire of topical issues in a dialogue format, with a weak love plot linking the episodic action. Most characters are based partially on real people and bear extreme and unyielding points of view. These two-dimensional ideologues debate the main theme, the perfectibility of man.

The first, Headlong Hall, contains humorous satire of topical issues in a dialogue format, with a weak love plot linking the episodic action. Most characters are based partially on real people and bear extreme and unyielding points of view. These two-dimensional ideologues debate the main theme, the perfectibility of man. In Gryll Grange, written some forty-five years later, the plot is a more believable love story with realistic characters. The tone mellows, Peacock's focus turns from social to personal, and the theme of living the best possible life results in comedy but not in sharp satire. Love and happy marriage constitute a symbol of Peacock's hope for the resolution of the real and the ideal.

Show moreThroughout the 1900s, the sense of a distinct sicilianita-or Sicilian-nessmanifested itself in writings by Italian authors such as Giovanni Verga, Luigi Pirandello, Leonardo Sciascia, Vincenzo Consolo, and Andrea Camilleri, among others. Interestingly, a parallel phenomenon has emerged in the United States in the broader field of Italian-American literature. While attempting to redefine the concept of Americanness and expand the canon of American literature so that it embraces articulations of ethnic identities, many Sicilian-American writers have turned their works into literary manifestations of their Sicilian Americanness, or, as I have called it, sicilianamericanita. In this study, I try to answer questions such as: Why and how have some Sicilian- American authors fashioned their Italian-American identity in regional terms? How did a sense of sicilianita develop in the US and turn into sicilianamericanita? And how did the above-mentioned phenomenon materialize in Italian-American literature? My examination focused on Jerre Mangione's memoirs, Rose Romano's poetry, and Ben Morreale's novels. While Mangione consistently capitalized on his regional ethnic identity mainly in order to correct some of the most unfavorable prejudices, and especially those originating from Mafia, Rose Romano writes poetry and prose dealing with issues of regional self-ascription which overlaps with contestations of traditional gender roles, heterosexual scripts, and racial categorizations. Ben Morreale's sicilianamericanita takes on intertextual aspects, creating a closely-knit net of relations with the Sicilian tradition in Italian literature. Many Sicilian-American writers, just like their Sicilian counterparts, have come to see their regional ethnic identity as a source of inspiration for the growth of a distinctive literary tradition. This study has been conceived as an initial small step towards a process of inquiry and exploration of the common ground between Italian and Italian-American literatures. Such critical endeavors and international cooperation between both fields of literary studies could bring forth a better understanding of the cultures, and also strengthen in significant ways the status of both literatures within and outside their respective national critical communities.

Bazin's work is used to address aesthetic issues, as well as providing a method for exploring how the phallic and matrixial frameworks impact the formal construction of the films. Ultimately, La jetâees model of phallic memory is shown to sever past from present in a manner corresponding to Lacanian notions of desire, castration, and loss, whereas Sans soleil demonstrates the potential of matrixial memory to establish a liminal relationship between past and present.

Tokens from a GOAT-COAT speech voicing continuum were embedded in carrier sentences that were biased toward either a "goat" or "coat" interpretation and presented to subjects for a word identification task. The identification function showed a boundary shift in favor of the biased context, and an interaction localized to the ambiguous boundary region. Response times were largest in the boundary region and the interaction between the two factors was localized to the boundary region and the voiced endpoint. There was also a response time advantage for context consistent responses specifically in the boundary region. These results and those of earlier research (Connine, 1987; Connine & Clifton, 1987) are described in terms of interactive activation of potential response categories by acoustic parameter and sentence context.

One of the most common types of these errors is conjunction errors. These happen when mismatched features of memories are combined to form a composite memory. This study tests how likely conjunction errors, along with other recognition errors, occur when participants watch videos of people both with and without unusual facial features performing actions after a week time lag. It was hypothesized that participants would falsely recognize actresses in the conjunction item condition over the other conditions. The likelihood of falsely recognizing a new person increased when presented with a feature, but the conjunction items overall were most often falsely recognized.

Show moreThis study provides a phenomenological inquiry of the way in which students of intercultural communication engage in online dialogues on issues related to race, ethnicity and prejudice. Particularly, it interrogates the structures of their preconsciousness (modalities) of their expressions on race, ethnicity and prejudice, as they are revealed through their lived experience in online dialogues. Students' specific manners of seeing (or not seeing) the meanings and significance of race and ethnicity are thus explicated., The study reveals the following four modalities of students' seeing of race, ethnicity and prejudice: (1) Primacy of the U.S. core values of freedom and individual choices structures students' ways of seeing and hearing racially/ethnically different others' experiences as real or not real; (2) Ahistoric and disembodied knowledge regarding self and others directs their understanding of race, ethnicity and others' experience of prejudice; (3) The U.S. assimilationist history creates an assumed absence of meaning on race and ethnicity; and (4) Experiencing others' different modalities of experiencing the world, through hearing others' lived experiences, facilitates one's reexamination of a taken-for-granted modality of existence. The implications of the study in the areas of whiteness studies and pedagogy are discussed, and directions for future research are also presented.
