Title: Lili Boulanger (1893--1918): Her life and works.
Creator: Smith-Gonzalez, April Renee., Florida Atlantic University, Keaton, Kenneth
Abstract/Description: A young life, so full of hope and talent ended before its true potential was realized. Even so, Lili Boulanger's oeuvre stands alone as a prime example of artistic quality and purity. Her expression is clear and personal, giving us insight into the world in which she lived. A discussion of her life reveals a lonely girl who turned to music as her permanent voice in history.

Show moreA young life, so full of hope and talent ended before its true potential was realized. Even so, Lili Boulanger's oeuvre stands alone as a prime example of artistic quality and purity. Her expression is clear and personal, giving us insight into the world in which she lived. A discussion of her life reveals a lonely girl who turned to music as her permanent voice in history. A discussion of her works reveals a highly intelligent and determined woman who composed brilliant music in spite of debilitating illness and prejudice. A discussion of the woman reveals Lili Boulanger to be an extraordinary person who cared for her family, friends, and fellowman. The first woman to win the Grand Prix de Rome competition in music, Boulanger is a role model for women composers who followed her.

Title: The paradox of John Cage.
Creator: Gonzalez, Juan Carlos., Florida Atlantic University, Keaton, Kenneth
Abstract/Description: It has been said that John Cage has had a greater impact on world music than any other American composer in the 20th Century. His work spans the media of visual art, dance, literature, and most relevant to this study, theater. What seemed to be a troubled personal state in his life led him to Eastern philosophies. The Zen philosophy of non-intention led to the creation of music that expressed no emotion and allowed the audience to do its own listening. Moreover, this indeterminacy allowed...
Show moreIt has been said that John Cage has had a greater impact on world music than any other American composer in the 20th Century. His work spans the media of visual art, dance, literature, and most relevant to this study, theater. What seemed to be a troubled personal state in his life led him to Eastern philosophies. The Zen philosophy of non-intention led to the creation of music that expressed no emotion and allowed the audience to do its own listening. Moreover, this indeterminacy allowed music to be action. This theatrical approach influenced a generation of artists that became the heart of the anti-art movement. This movement included happenings, multi-media works, and Fluxus. Many of these events were not only a revolt against conventional art, but also the state of political and social thought. In attempting to say nothing in his works, Cage communicated his manifesto quite well.

Title: Soil of misfortune: Education, poverty, and race in a rural south Florida community.
Creator: Gonzalez, Juan Carlos., Florida Atlantic University, Kirsch, Max H.
Abstract/Description: This dissertation addresses the structural components of education in the United States and how they have hindered the ability of a community's black and brown children to obtain the knowledge and resources needed to succeed and adapt to the changing circumstances of their region and beyond. It will do so through a case study of a small community in the American South, where the failure of education to provide access to the American dream has been clearly demonstrated in persistent poverty...
Show moreThis dissertation addresses the structural components of education in the United States and how they have hindered the ability of a community's black and brown children to obtain the knowledge and resources needed to succeed and adapt to the changing circumstances of their region and beyond. It will do so through a case study of a small community in the American South, where the failure of education to provide access to the American dream has been clearly demonstrated in persistent poverty and lack of opportunity available to its residents. Belle Glade, Florida is a rural community centrally located within the Everglades Agricultural Area. Fifty years after the historic 1954 Brown vs. Board decision, which outlawed school segregation and the separate but equal claims of Plessy vs. Ferguson, little has changed in this poor rural community. This study shows that this community, rather than representing an isolated case, is reflective of many small non-metro communities of the American South. Though integration initially intended to balance the great disparity that existed between the schools for black children and schools for white children in regards to facilities, materials, and curriculum, in Belle Glade and throughout the South those same disparities still exist today. This study argues that current state education policies, modeled after the federal government's "No Child Left Behind Plan," are a veneer for a separate and unequal educational policy and practice in the state of Florida. It seeks to explore and document why this has occurred, and place this case study within the larger context of structural inequalities on the local, national and global levels. How is it that the "freest nation in the world" with the largest gross national product has yet to fulfill its most fundamental promise to this community---equal opportunity and access to quality education? Thus, this dissertation asks why regardless of the policies, plans, curricula and tests the district and state adopt, at times with the best of intentions, nothing seems to improve the conditions of these black citizens? More importantly, when these issues are addressed, who speaks, under what conditions and for whom?

Title: Textual identity in John Barth's "The Sot-Weed Factor" and in Alejo Carpentier's "El siglo de las luces".
Creator: Gonzalez, Roger Geertz., Florida Atlantic University, Gosser Esquilin, Mary Ann
Abstract/Description: In The Sot-Weed Factor, set in the eighteenth century, John Barth describes the adventures of Ebenezer Cooke and Henry Burlingame. Ebenezer, or Eben, and Henry, see the world and themselves through a diversity of texts, not just written ones. Ironically, Henry tries to dissuade Eben from relying on these texts. In El siglo de las luces, Alejo Carpentier depicts the development of the protagonists Esteban and Victor during the French Revolution in France and its repercussions in the Caribbean....

Ebenezer, or Eben, and Henry, see the world and themselves through a diversity of texts, not just written ones. Ironically, Henry tries to dissuade Eben from relying on these texts. In El siglo de las luces, Alejo Carpentier depicts the development of the protagonists Esteban and Victor during the French Revolution in France and its repercussions in the Caribbean. Esteban realizes during and after the Revolution that it and himself are influenced by texts that cannot express reality or help establish identity and therefore, he abandons it. However, Victor continues to participate in it since his identity relies on its manifestations. Texts in these novels includes more than just written materials such as paintings that the characters and readers "read" or try to understand and/or "write," and even mark on their bodies.

Players can choose to customize the character based on his/her gender, appearance, sexual orientation, background origin and occupation. The choices that show up in the game are also based on how the player wants their version of Shepard to interact with other characters and allows players some leeway to shape their own narrative. The series also discusses and acknowledges issues of race, gender, subjecthood and sovereignty, politics and sexual orientation within its narrative. This analysis focuses on the text of the series and its implications concerning hegemonic reinforcement and/or resistance in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, politics, and warfare tactics.
