  • 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.

  • "Present fears" and "Horrible Imaginings" : Gothic elements in Shakespearean Tragedy

    Creator:
    Appel, Ian S.
    Abstract:
    Gothic literary works are characterized as such by their ability to represent and evoke terror. The form this representation takes is varied; often terror originates in the atmospheric effects of settings, in the appearance of mysterious, supposedly supernatural phenomena, and, perhaps most significantly, in the behavior of villainous characters. Shakespearean...

  • Virtual virtuosos : cyborgs and integrative ethics in the intimate machine

    Creator:
    Clemenhagen, Ronda L.
    Abstract:
    Standard accounts of women's relationship with technology stress women's need to overcome anxiety to achieve competence with computers. Recent studies provide evidence that this woman-anxiety-technology connection is an oversimplification of the relationship between women and computers. New literature also suggests that making computers more appealing will help girls overcome computational...
