  • The objects within : an applied OOO literary criticism

    Creator:
    Dodson, Matthew J.
    Abstract:
    For centuries, continental philosophy has clung to the belief that the world only meaningfully exists through human perception--that, in other words, when a tree falls in the forest, it does not make a sound. Literary theory, which has strong roots in continental philosophy, followed suit, remaining tied to humanism even...

  • The Morphology of Goethe’s Botanical Work

    Creator:
    Hahn, Andre M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the morphology of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) through several lenses. The first explores Goethe's morphology as he applied it in his botanical work and supplies an explanation of what Goethe referred to as archetypal phenomena and the archetypal plant. The scope of exploration then broadens to...

  • Forms of Life: Goethe’s Impact on Twentieth-Century Anglophone Botany and Morphology

    Creator:
    Hahn, Andre M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation examines the impact of the German naturalist and literary figure Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s ideas on twentieth century Anglophone plant morphology and biology. Goethe interpreted the organ forms of flowering plants as metamorphoses of each other. His literary, historical, and philosophical writings suggest themes of alienation from and...

  • Queering Ever After: Temporality, Magic, and Endings in Victorian Fairy Tales

    Creator:
    Damschen, Kalli M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis analyzes two Victorian fairy tales that feature queer endings, or endings that offer alternatives to the heteronormative fairy-tale tradition that idealizes heterosexual marriage and the biological family. In both George MacDonald’s The Wise Woman (1875) and E. Nesbit’s “The Island of the Nine Whirlpools” (1901), I argue that...

  • To Express the Inexpressible: Poetry as Philosophy within Mystical Discourse

    Creator:
    Hyam, Jarrod
    Abstract:
    Within this thesis, I posit that poetry, rather than philosophical argument, is a more effective means of expressing and understanding the nature of mystical experiences. William James’ analysis of mysticism inspires the theoretical approach utilized in this thesis. An analysis of the unique qualities of poetic language within mystical discourse...

    Abstract:
    This thesis analyzes the efficacy of emancipatory (critical) pedagogical practices in an educational climate of standards-based reform. Using two films noir of the blacklist era--Body and Soul and Crossfire--as the core texts of a unit in a secondary school curriculum, I argue that an emphasis on student agency and a...
