- "Foolish men that prayse gin eke t'envy": armes, armor, and eroticism in Spenser's The Faerie Queene.
- Author
- Desimone, Noah Ryan
- Abstract/Description
-
In Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, scenes of armament and disarmament allegorize the way that idealized and degenerate forms of masculinity are forged. Armor, in Spenser, is less a physical than a psychological shield. Donned at the wrong time, the knights become cruel, untrustworthy, and apathetic. Removed at inappropriate junctures, they descend into lust, avarice, and gluttony. Spenser's epic models the self-fashioning by which gentleman could come to embody the harmony of Venus and...
Show moreIn Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, scenes of armament and disarmament allegorize the way that idealized and degenerate forms of masculinity are forged. Armor, in Spenser, is less a physical than a psychological shield. Donned at the wrong time, the knights become cruel, untrustworthy, and apathetic. Removed at inappropriate junctures, they descend into lust, avarice, and gluttony. Spenser's epic models the self-fashioning by which gentleman could come to embody the harmony of Venus and Mars. Empedocles' principle of love and war--the idea that eros and strife must come together for the generation of life to occur--is central to Spenser's idea of exemplary masculinity as well as to his political and artistic vision of harmony. The epic models a paradigm of courtly masculinity that places a premium on intense emotional relationships between men, even as it divorces eros from the realms of martial honor and patriarchalism. Since Spenser's vision of self-fashioned masculinity depends upon his understanding of court culture and the woman presiding over it, I conclude my thesis by looking at the epic's critique of Elizabeth I's use of romantic tropes and erotic pageantry

- 'WHAT GOOD IS A PRETTY FACE WITH NOTHING BEHIND IT?': THE SPECTER OF THE INAUTHENTIC IN TRUE STORY MAGAZINE AND LITERARY MODERNISM.
- Author
- Smith, Georgia Clarkson
- Abstract/Description

This thesis situates the narratives of True Story magazine in the 1920s within and against the context of their surrounding advertisements in order to reveal a popular resistance to the logic of consumption that was aggressively marketed to working class readers at the turn of the century. I argue that while the confessional narratives of True Story magazine explore the possibilities of self reinvention and upward mobility in market society, they paradoxically reveal an anxiety about the...
Show moreThis thesis situates the narratives of True Story magazine in the 1920s within and against the context of their surrounding advertisements in order to reveal a popular resistance to the logic of consumption that was aggressively marketed to working class readers at the turn of the century. I argue that while the confessional narratives of True Story magazine explore the possibilities of self reinvention and upward mobility in market society, they paradoxically reveal an anxiety about the veracity of the mass market's promises for sociocultural advancement via consumption. Further, I explore the trope of the self-constructed consumer persona in modernist fiction in order to tease out a thematic "preoccupation with inauthencity" that repeatedly begs attention not only in popular confessional magazines like True Story, but also in middle-market and canonical modernist novels such as Anita Loo's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, James Joyce's Ulysses, Ford Madox Ford's The Good Soldier, and William Faulkner's If I Forget Thee Jerusalem.

- Abstract/Description

Attempting to improve the selection process of military aviators, an empirical review of the literature was undertaken to provide a more accurate, empirically based estimate of the true population personality profile of the military aviator. Results are reported from a meta-analysis of standardized mean differences between military aviators and the general population on the Big Five personality domains.

Show moreAttempting to improve the selection process of military aviators, an empirical review of the literature was undertaken to provide a more accurate, empirically based estimate of the true population personality profile of the military aviator. Results are reported from a meta-analysis of standardized mean differences between military aviators and the general population on the Big Five personality domains. Eighteen studies were identified which met all inclusion criteria. The Hedges and Olkin (1985) random-effects model was applied. Weighted mean effects, confidence intervals, heterogeneity of effects and fail-safe N were computed. Four of the Big Five domains were found to have significant effects, suggesting military aviators were less neurotic and agreeable and more extraverted and conscientious than the general population. All tests of homogeneity were nonsignificant; therefore, no moderators were investigated. Avenues for future research to further identify the predictive validity of personality on military aviator selection are considered.

The purpose of this study was to examine case studies linked to three important historical time periods in the Pensacola, Florida educational community. These historical moments included the (a) Augustus v. School Board of Escambia County, Florida landmark legal case regarding desegregation in Escambia County educational institutions; (b) transformation of Brown Barge Elementary School to Brown Barge Magnet School; and (c) closing of A. A. Dixon Elementary School. I used case studies to...

School Board of Escambia County, Florida landmark legal case regarding desegregation in Escambia County educational institutions; (b) transformation of Brown Barge Elementary School to Brown Barge Magnet School; and (c) closing of A. A. Dixon Elementary School. I used case studies to explore three historical time periods. I interviewed residents who experienced one or more of the three events defined by the cases. I compared and contrasted their responses with information I retrieved about the three events from newspaper articles and meeting minutes. The stories revealed participants struggles with sacrificing their historical African American community schools as they supported school integration.

- Abstract/Description

The practice of assessment for learning based on the four principles identified by Stiggins (2007a) as perceived by both instructors and students at a northeastern university was examined in this case study. Five factors were identified representing the four principles. Results indicate that both instructors and students perceived that assessment for learning was being practiced at this northeastern university. There was no significant difference (Sig. > .05) between instructors' perceptions...

Underlying theoretical concepts are grouped into the 5 dimensions of a grounded learning systems design model: psychological, pedagogical, technological, cultural, and pragmatic.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine how theoretical concepts underlying an implementation of an integrated learning object-based instructional system translate into effective practice. Underlying theoretical concepts are grouped into the 5 dimensions of a grounded learning systems design model: psychological, pedagogical, technological, cultural, and pragmatic. These 5 dimensions serve as a framework for examining a case of integrated learning object-based instructional systems development. Such systems possess characteristics, features, and processes that embody varying interpretations of those theoretical foundations while also reflecting the contexts within which they are developed. Using documentary evidence, structured interviews with key development team members, and critical analyses of main interface screen shots, the framework is used to characterize the links between those practical expressions and the underlying theoretical concepts of such systems.
