Omen of Mere Event : Vignettes in a Post-Wilderness Landscape

Creator:: Schultz, Aaron A.
Abstract:: This thesis uses a series of non-fiction vignettes to explore objects, agencies, and networks, applying theories of rhetoric and composition directly to experience and vise versa.

Wild nature or the garden : conservation themes in the forests of Tarzan and Herland/Ourland

Creator:: Davis, Caryn M.
Abstract:: At first glance, Edgar Rice Burroughs's wildly popular romantic fantasy novel, Tarzan of the Apes (1912), and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's feminist science fiction-utopian novel, Herland (1915), with its dystopian companion, With Her in Ourland (1916), may appear to have little in common.

Toward Critical Consciousness : Rhetorical Grammar as Anti-Racist Praxis in the First Year Composition Classroom

Creator:: Koneval, Addison B.
