  • 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. Focusing on agency--as understood through sociology's actor-networks, post- humanism’s Object Orientated Ontology, and Ecocriticism's ecological approach--I look at events, landscapes, and partnerships that have...

  • Public Proof : Science Communication, Weak Theory, and the Nonrational

    Creator:
    Snyder, Wesley M.
    Abstract:
    A 2014 Pew Research poll revealed large gaps between public opinion and scientific opinion over environmental and biomedical issues (Funk and Rainie). Similarly, a number of recent popular books have described a growing public mistrust in scientific expertise (Mooney; Storr; Specter). Why is it, then, that so much of the...

  • An informed and ignorant readership : the contradictions of creative nonfiction

    Creator:
    Rush, Lani
    Abstract:
    Creative nonfiction is a genre replete with contradictions--the name itself shows that: nonfiction writing is true and factual, but creative writing is imaginative and inventive. Because of fundamental contradictions like this, there is no standardized or even most common definition of the genre. This creates confusion for both critics and...
