  • The Art of Noticing : An Essay on Contemporary Ecological Writing

    Creator:
    West, Rex Alan, 1967-
    Abstract:
    A number of thinkers are becoming increasingly persuaded that our anthropocentric view of nature is inadequate, that we need a "new morality" with regard to the environment. In this essay, I argue that an alternative to anthropocentricism is available to us now-and has been since at least 1836. I look...

  • The influence of imperialist ideology on the dichotomy of passion and reason in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre

    Creator:
    Dietrich, Rhonda
    Abstract:
    A prevalent belief during the Victorian age was that the world was divided between inferior beings governed by passion and superior reasoning beings. On the political level, this idea separated inferior passion-driven natives from superior reasoning Europeans. This division contributed to the maintenance and expansion of imperialist rule in distant...

  • Global Citizen, Global Consumer: Study Abroad, Neoliberal Convergence, and the Eat, Pray, Love Phenomenon

    Creator:
    Barbour, Nancy Staton
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the convergence of neoliberal rhetoric across popular media, academic, and institutional discourses, and draws connections between contemporary women's travel literature and common scripts in study abroad promotion. Finding such narratives to be freighted with ethnocentric constructs and tacit endorsements of market-based globalization, I critique the mainstreaming of...

    Creator:
    Breeden, Shobana L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis uses both feminist and new historic theories to argue that the women's romance novels The Last September (1929) by Elizabeth Bowen and The Country Girl's Trilogy (1960, 1962, 1964) by Edna O'Brien are tragic bildungsroman that subvert and challenge the Irish patriarchal marriage expectations of their respective time...

    Creator:
    Brandt, Anna
    Abstract:
    The Bondwoman’s Narrative, the first novel written by an enslaved Black woman, borrows heavily from other texts and genres to investigate what freedom looks like in the context of slavery.

    Creator:
    Jurgens, Jeremy
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, Renaissance studies have neglected or overlooked the contributions of early modern female poets, many of whom produced lively, engaging, and highly creative work despite the limitations imposed on them by a rigidly patriarchal society. In my thesis, I examine the life and work of Aemilia Lanyer, a 17th century...
