"outing" of Miss Jean Brodie or to Miss Christina Kay with love
Title
The "outing" of Miss Jean Brodie or to Miss Christina Kay with love.
Creator
Geoghegan, Elizabeth Erin., Florida Atlantic University, McGuirk, Carol
Abstract/Description
Romantic friendships, or raves as they were commonly called, were a common element of the culture of girl's schools in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, the impact of sexologists' theories served to pathologize and stigmatize these relationships. Muriel Spark was a product of the girl's school education in the post-Freudian era.

Show moreRomantic friendships, or raves as they were commonly called, were a common element of the culture of girl's schools in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, the impact of sexologists' theories served to pathologize and stigmatize these relationships. Muriel Spark was a product of the girl's school education in the post-Freudian era. While many scholars have studied The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie for its spiritual or moral content, few have discussed the sexuality and lesbian content in the novel. This thesis discusses the sexual dynamics of the two main characters, Jean Brodie and Sandy Stranger, while taking into account the social, psychological, and biographical influences on Spark's novel. Romantic friendship is a compelling force in the narrative which drives each character in their vacillation between loyalty and betrayal.

"Room for you and me": an ethical critique of noncanonical labor literature.
Creator

Abstract/Description
Labor literature is in popular and academic neglect. I argue that labor literature's neglect is unjust, and I provide a way of examining labor literature that can rescue it from neglect. I shall be concerned with labor literature's academic decline due to its apparent lack of value according to traditional standards of literary criticism.

Show moreLabor literature is in popular and academic neglect. I argue that labor literature's neglect is unjust, and I provide a way of examining labor literature that can rescue it from neglect. I shall be concerned with labor literature's academic decline due to its apparent lack of value according to traditional standards of literary criticism. I will argue that ethical criticism - criticism of literature that considers the ethics of a work as a part of its literary value - can reveal new complexities in labor literature. An ethical critical analysis of the representation of American labor movements and workers in noncanonical texts will show the distinctive ethical value such texts hold. I will argue that labor texts possess ethical value insofar as they help readers develop awareness of complex ethical issues posed by labor and community, and that the ethical value of labor literature provides a new reason to value such works.

"SEHNSUCHT" AND THE ISLAND MOTIF IN C. S. LEWIS' "OUT OF THE SILENT PLANET" AND "PERELANDRA.".

DENNIS, SHERRY KAY., Florida Atlantic University, Greer, Allen W.
Abstract/Description
Sehnsucht is a term used by C.S. Lewis to describe the immortal longing imparted to each soul by the Creator. The design of this longing is to draw one to a place of absolute surrender to the truth of God's preeminence. In Lewis' own life, as well as that of his fictional characters, the result of this longing is a relentless quest. In Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, the quest follows a structural pattern I have identified as the island motif. Elwin Ransom moves toward an island...
Show moreSehnsucht is a term used by C.S. Lewis to describe the immortal longing imparted to each soul by the Creator. The design of this longing is to draw one to a place of absolute surrender to the truth of God's preeminence. In Lewis' own life, as well as that of his fictional characters, the result of this longing is a relentless quest. In Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, the quest follows a structural pattern I have identified as the island motif. Elwin Ransom moves toward an island physically and spiritually. He is drawn by slowly intensifying encounters with Sehnsucht, occasioned by his sensory perceptions of the bizarre landscapes. Ransom's journey is allegorically related to the Christian's pilgrimage in Out of the Silent Planet. The quest becomes a reenactment of the Redeemer Myth in Perelandra. Both stories culminate in the hero's mystic union with the numinous.

Creator
Fadiman, Maria
Abstract/Description
This study looks at wood curio carving in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Africa. Although the local people, Ndebele and Shona, have always carved, they now face a weakened economy, due in large part to land reforms in 2000. Thus, more people sculpt wood as a form of livelihood. As one man said “Starvation taught me art”. As a result, gender roles are shifting as men and women begin to enter realms previously reserved for the other.

As one man said “Starvation taught me art”. As a result, gender roles are shifting as men and women begin to enter realms previously reserved for the other. Environmentally, carvers poaching trees deforests the woodlands. As more individuals turn to making crafts sustainability deteriorates. However, people are looking into more sustainable practices. Ndebele and Shona are experimenting with carving smaller items so as to be able to earn more profit from less wood, and to use branches instead of heartwood. Carvers are also using scrap wood from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) lumber mills to lessen dependence on live trees.

Show moreFidgeting and otherwise constant movements in individuals can be beneficial in those who suffer from Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or Generalized Anxiety Disorder as well as others. However this constant movement can also be a distraction to others as well as protrude an air of no self confidence. It is the drawbacks from these actions that we wish to address. By developing an intelligent system that can detect these motions and alert the user, it will allow the wearer of the device to self correct. It is in this self control that one may exhibit more confidence or simply reduce the level of irritation experienced by those in the immediate vicinity. We have designed and built a low cost, mobile, lightweight, untethered, wearable prototype device. It will detect these actions and deliver user selectable biofeedback through a light emitting diode, buzzer, vibromotor or an electric shock to allow for self control.

"Strange Snow" and other stories.
Creator
DeJong, Laura Quinlan, Florida Atlantic University, Bucak, Ayse Papatya
Abstract/Description
Weather assists in shaping our reality. It is an unalterable condition of the world that we are born into. This short story collection aims to present the nuances of weather. It attempts to acknowledge wind, rain, snow and lightning as forces that shape the world of its characters, forces that even influence the structure of the story itself. In some cases, weather acts as metaphor; in others, the weather seeks to alter language itself. The beauty of a snowflake resides in image and language.

The all white, elitist American Bar Association condemned attorneys whose clients employed the Fifth Amendment and censured liberal and leftist lawyers.

Show moreDuring the period of reaction after World War II American lawyers became leaders in the quest for conformity. The all white, elitist American Bar Association condemned attorneys whose clients employed the Fifth Amendment and censured liberal and leftist lawyers. Southern lawyers and judges who defied post-war efforts to reinvigorate the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments enjoyed the respect of their fellows, as did federal investigators who overlooked the First and Sixth Amendments while searching for subversives., This study examines the careers of three native white southerners who practiced civil liberties law in the south between 1945 and 1965: John Moreno Coe, of Pensacola, Florida, Clifford Judkins Durr of Montgomery, Alabama, and Benjamin Eugene Smith of New Orleans, Louisiana. Faithful New Deal Democrats before 1945, Coe and Smith campaigned for Henry Wallace in 1948, while Durr, a recently resigned member of the Federal Communications Commission, remained aloof from that campaign. All became officers of the National Lawyers Guild. Coe and Smith accepted board positions with the Southern Conference Educational Fund, and like Durr, maintained strong personal ties to leaders of this liberal organization and several others. They represented blacks in early anti-discrimination cases and white clients accused of being communists; by the late fifties their clients included "radical" civil rights workers., Though politically dissimilar, Coe, Durr, and Smith all remained committed civil libertarians in an era of repression. They represent a strain of American liberalism typified by the open "popular front" left of the 1930s. As a result, they faced professional scorn, personal ostracism, and official harassment. The dissertation focuses on the connection between anti-communism, civil liberties, and civil rights in the deep South during the post war years, highlighting Congressional and state legislative committees as well as groups which badgered non-conformists on the local level. Exceptional in the conservative southern bar, these three careers illuminate both diversity within the legal profession and the varieties of southern liberalism in the decades of change following World War II.
