Full textAbstract:
<p>SPARKS, SUMMAR C., Ph.D. Bound by Paper: Nineteenth-Century Southern Editors and Their Northern Connections. (2015)
Directed by Dr. Karen A. Weyler. 173 pp.
Nineteenth-century editors frequently discussed their work in public forums (including their own periodicals) and in private correspondence. These sources provide insight into how editors imagined their work and their professional roles. For many nineteenth-century editors, one of the most important (and underappreciated) elements of their work was building expansive social networks that promoted productive relationships between writers, readers, and other editors.
After establishing the function of the nineteenth-century editor in Chapter I, I proceed in the remaining chapters to examine how specific Southern editors attempted to gain access to a national audience by cultivating relationships with their Northern counterparts. Chapter II uses Caroline Gilman?s career to demonstrate the many ways that, despite her religious and family connections to the Boston literati, her gender prevented her from establishing the types of professional ties that could have advanced her career. Chapter III analyzes the impact of the New York-based Young America movement on the career of William Gilmore Simms, and Chapter IV contends that Edgar Allan Poe lacked the social capital necessary to successfully negotiate a professional relationship with New York editor Nathaniel Parker Willis. These chapters demonstrate the importance of social networks, particularly connections with Northerners, in the professional lives of Southern editors.

Pretende-se analisar a publicação de impressos de grupos anarquistas no período inicial do movimento operário de Buenos Aires. Durante a formação das primeiras organizações operárias na cidade, a atividade editorial teve um papel central para estes grupos, cumprindo a função de propaganda e também de organização. Buscaremos estudar a esfera da edição, pesquisando quais assuntos e autores eram publicados, quais suportes eram adotados e quem eram os indivíduos que estavam à frente do trabalho de edição e da comercialização dos impressos, investigando quais eram os circuitos de venda e distribuição dos mesmos. Acreditamos que estas questões podem contribuir para a compreensão das estratégias adotadas por estes grupos para a propaganda de suas ideias, bem como a importância da atividade editorial para aglutinar militantes. Dessa forma, podemos entender o processo de desenvolvimento do anarquismo no movimento operário em Buenos Aires, problematizando a relação entre edição e política.<br>The objective is analyzing the publication of printed materials of anarchist groups in the initial period of the worker\'s movement in Buenos Aires. During the creation of the first worker\'s organizations in the city, the publishing activity had a major role for these groups, with the functions of propaganda and organization. We will study the editing field through a research on the subjects and the authors that were published, and also on the adopted media and on the people who were on the head of the editing work, trying to find out which were the selling and distribution networks. We believe that these matters can help us to understand the strategies chosen by these groups for promoting their ideas and the importance of the editing activity to get activists together. Thus, we can comprehend the development process of anarchism in the worker\'s movement in Buenos Aires by the relations between politics and publishing.

Full textAbstract:
African American Studies<br>Ph.D.<br>The writings and the experience of independent African American editors in the first half of the twentieth century from 1901 to 1955 played an invaluable role in laying the ideological groundwork for the Black Freedom movement beginning with the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The anti-imperialist writings of Pauline Hopkins who was literary editor of the Colored American Magazine from 1900 to 1904 celebrated revolutionary leaders, and adopted an independent course that refused partisan lines, which prompted her replacement as editor according to a letter she writes to William Monroe Trotter. The anti-imperialist writing of A. Philip Randolph as editor of The Messenger from 1917 to 1928, raised the role of labor organizing in the advancement of racial justice and helped to provide future organizers. These individuals founded the Southern Negro Youth Congress an analytical framework that would help organize thousands of Southern workers against the Jim Crow system into labor unions. Based on the letters he wrote to the American Fund For Public Service, Randolph raised funds by appealing to the values that he believed Fund chair Roger Baldwin also valued while protecting individual supporters of The Messenger from government surveillance. The anti-imperialist writing of Paul Robeson as chair of the editorial board of Freedom from 1950 to 1955 could not escape McCarthyist government surveillance which eventually caused its demise. However not before including an anti-fascist editorial ideology endorsing full equality for African Americans that inspired plays by Alice Childress and Lorraine Hansberry that imagined a world that defies the increasingly fascist rule of the American state. This thesis will argue that the Black Freedom Struggle that developed after the fifties owed a great deal to Hopkins, Randolph, and Robeson. The work that these three did as editors and writers laid a solid intellectual, ideological, and political foundation for the later and better known moment when African American would mobilize en masse to demand meaningful equality in the United States.<br>Temple University--Theses

Reside, Douglas Larue. "THE ELECTRONIC EDITION AND TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATRE." UKnowledge, 2006. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/gradschool_diss/350.
Full textAbstract:
For many, contemporary theatre is represented by the musical. The form remains, however, virtually unstudied by literary scholars. In part, this may be a result of the difficulty of accessing the texts. Reading a musical from a traditional codex is no easy matter. The integration of text and music in a musical make it inappropriate to separate the two. One can try to follow along with a cast recording. In most cases, though, this is awkward. Many cast albums record a significantly modified version of the score and lyrics and few include the entire work. Further, musical theatre texts often exist in many different versions. This work begins with a summary of the problems one encounters when editing a multi-authored text (musicals often have a lyricist, librettist, and composer) which may be revised for practical (rather than aesthetic) reasons. The merits of restoring the material changed during the production process are debated. In this discussion some attempt is made to identify who should be considered the dominating collaborator (or auteur) of a musical. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that the notion of trying to restore an "authorial Ur-Text" makes little sense given the multitude of collaborators involved in the process of making musicals. Instead, an electronic variorum edition is presented as an alternative means of studying and teaching musical theatre texts. The study concludes with a narrative of the authors own work on an electronic edition of the 1998 Broadway musical Parade and ends with a critical introduction to this text.

Reed, Debi. "The future of Indiana daily newspapers : a Q-analysis of Indiana editors and reporters." Virtual Press, 1991. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/834135.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzed Indiana editors and reporters through Qmethodology in an effort to establish a typology of Indiana journalists pertaining to the future of the daily newspaper. Because of an apparent lack of abundant research relative to what journalists perceive as the future of the daily print medium, this study attempted to add an Indiana perspective to existing empirical literature dealing with the future of newspapers.Fifty-six editors and reporters from 28 of Indiana's 73 newspapers were selected as a purposive sample of the state's journalists. Statements representing perceptions about the future of newspapers were compiled in a 64-card structured Qsort and administered in person to all respondents. Respondents were asked to sort through the cards and rank the statements on an 11-point, Likert-like most-agree/most-disagree scale.Computer analysis of the Q-sorts produced five typal arrays which may be considered five typical categories into which Indiana journalists fall with regard to their perceptions aboutthe future of newspapers.Four of the five types showed strong correlation among themselves. Although none of the 12 consensus items proved significant, Indiana editors and reporters were found to have similar attitudes overall regarding several key statements.Findings of this study indicate the typical perceptions of Indiana journalists regarding the future of newspapers are centered around the belief that responsiveness to readers is a high priority. Data also indicated editors and reporters see technology and marketing to be keys to success for newspapers of the future. Other findings appear to suggest journalists believe local news and information relative to readers' daily lives will be important parts of future newspaper content. Making newspapers "user-friendly" was also a high priority for Indiana editors and reporters.Although one of the five types emerging in this study showed strong discontent in its perceptions of the public, the overall view of journalists in Indiana appears to be one of respect and confidence in readers of the future. There was also indication that editors and reporters were open to change in the newspaper industry and committed to a career in the daily print medium.Because of the projective nature of this study, Q-methodology was selected as an appropriate research instrument. It should be noted, however, that this method provides only typical attitudes that may not be generalized among populations other than the one particular to this study.<br>Department of Journalism

Bertrand, Anne. "Walker Evans, écrits et propos. Edition critique." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCC122.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet les textes de Walker Evans (1903-1975), publiés de son vivant et signés de son nom. Figure majeure de la photographie américaine, dès l'exposition "American Photographs", au Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) de New York en 1938, et le livre éponyme, Evans a d'abord voulu devenir écrivain. Sauf une décennie fondatrice pour son oeuvre photographique, du début des années 1930 au début des années 1940, il n'aura, de sa vie, cessé d'écrire. Il a cependant peu théorisé sur la photographie, et ne s'y est résolu que tard. Un essai est consacré à la relation d'Evans, photographe, à l'écriture ; une anthologie réunit la plupart de ses écrits et propos, chaque texte bénéficiant d'une introduction qui le présente et l'analyse,s'appuyant notamment sur les Walker Evans Archive conservées au Metropolitan Museum of Artde New York ; un volume iconographique reproduit des publications d'Evans alliant ses textes et des images. Critique pour le magazine Time (1943-1945), au côté de son ami Agee, puis collaborateur du magazine Fortune (1945-1965), Evans invente dans ce périodique une forme de portfolio juxtaposant texte court qu'il rédige et images, les siennes ou celles d'autres, sur dessujets relevant souvent d'une culture vernaculaire. Il signe par ailleurs dans la presse des critiques,notamment sur la photographie. À partir de la fin des années 1960, alors qu'il enseigne à l'université Yale de New Haven, il publie plusieurs textes essentiels pour l'histoire du médium,dont un entretien avec Leslie Katz, au moment de sa seconde rétrospective au MoMA en 1971.Evans y fonde l'expression "style documentaire", qui qualifie sa photographie, et entraîne avec elle tout un pan de la création contemporaine. Hors Atget, les références qu'il donne pour son art sont littéraires, Flaubert et Baudelaire, ou James, Proust, Nabokov – indiquant l'importance qu'eurent toujours à ses yeux l'écriture, et le style<br>This thesis aims to provide a critical study of the texts Walker Evans (1903-1975) signed and published during his lifetime. One of the most important photographers of the United States, from his exhibition "American Photographs," at the Museum of Modern Art(MoMA) of New York, and the eponymous book, in 1938, Evans first wanted to become a writer. With the exception of one decade, from the early 1930s to the early 1940s, when hefocused solely on photography and produced the core of his work, never in his life did Evansstop writing. However, he did not theorize about photography but sparingly, and quite late in life. An essay is considering the relation of the photographer to writing ; a selective anthology gathersmost of his texts, each with an introduction which presents and analyses its contents, in the light of sources from the Walker Evans Archive at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; an iconographical volume reproduces Evans's publications combining his texts and images. Evanswrote as a critic for Time Magazine (1943-1945) beside his friend Agee, then contributed to Fortune(1945-1965). He there invented the form of portfolios combining a short text he would write and images, either by him or by others, often times on vernacular subjects. Furthermore, he would sign critical essays in various periodicals, particularly on photography. From the end of the 1960s, while he was teaching at Yale University, he would publish a few theoretical writings which are decisive for the history of the medium, notably the interview with Leslie Katz which was published at the occasion of Evans's second retrospective at MoMA, in 1971. Here Evans coined the phrase "documentary style", which qualified his own photography, and would apply to manyworks by contemporary artists. At get being his main reference for photography, the other references he mentions are principally literary: Flaubert and Baudelaire, or James, Proust, Nabokov. They indicate how concerned the photographer was, always, with writing, and style

Full textAbstract:
George Frederick Bristow (1825-1898) was a prominent American instrumental performer, teacher, conductor, and composer working in New York City in the mid-nineteenth century. His compositions provide valuable insight into the musical life of New York at that time, and into the development of American music. Presently, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts holds a wealth of manuscripts of his work, and very little of it has been published. Bristow's Niagara Symphony, Op. 62, was composed in 1893 and received its first performance under the baton of the composer shortly before his death in 1898, and represents the culmination of his compositional output. The symphony is divided by Bristow into two large parts of equal duration: the first part consists of three movements scored for orchestra only, and the second part is a multi-section cantata for vocal soloists, chorus, and orchestra. I have here created a critical edition of the fourth movement of George Frederick Bristow's Niagara Symphony that faithfully and accurately represents the composer's intentions. I also provide here a meticulous recounting and justification of my editorial decisions, a thorough analysis of the work including an examination of compositional influences, and a discussion of performance considerations. This completion of a modern performing edition of the fourth movement of the Niagara Symphony is intended to help make the work of George Frederick Bristow more widely known, and to help scholars, performers, and audiences grasp our own American musical heritage.

Full textAbstract:
In 1910 Atlanta University published the findings of an extensive study of universities in the United States which Negroes attended. For this, study both quantitative and qualitative data was collected. The quantitative data was derived from the school catalogs and information provided directly from the Negro colleges (Du Bois & Dill, 1910). Data was collected on student enrollment, courses of study selected by the students and degrees conferred. The qualitative data was derived from survey information provided by 800 Negro, college graduates¹. In addition to basic statistical information respondents were asked to provide information on their hopes, aspirations and expectations upon obtaining a college degree. This information was then correlated by gender and presented in the study titled The College-Bred Negro American.
While this study illuminates the agreement among the respondents that the acquisition of college education is the key to success for the Negro---one can also hear a divergence of opinion regarding what type of college education (liberal or industrial) would lead to success for the Negro American.
This thesis analyzes the implications of the Atlanta study, using a variety of methods combining autoethnography with analysis of the data from the US Census Bureau. Further the thesis concludes with a proposal to initiate a survey that is comparable to the 1910 surveys administered as a part of the Atlanta study.
I have chosen to combine an autoethnographic approach with an objective analysis of the 2004 US Census data in order to determine if the growth in college degrees earned within the African American community represented by the study's original respondents is still occurring in the African American community today.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University.<br>The Custom of the Country: Alistair Cooke and Race in America is a selected, annotated edition of 142 installments of Alistair Cooke's BBC broadcast, Letter from America, on race and the struggle for civil rights in the United States.
Alistair Cooke (1908-2004), English-born American journalist, produced a variety of works over a seventy-year career, almost all about American politics, society, and culture. Besides writing numerous books, he was for 25 years American correspondent for the Manchester Guardian newspaper (later The Guardian). From 1946 to 2004 he wrote and recorded a weekly 2,100-word commentary, Letter from America, broadcast to the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth - a total of 2,869 broadcasts.
Over the decades, the relation of white and black was a frequent concern of Letter from America. The Custom of the Country records events from Harry Truman's efforts to advance civil rights, through the Brown v. Board of Education decision, battles over segregation and passage of civil rights laws, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the riots of the 1960s, school busing and Affirmative Action, up to and beyond the O.J. Simpson case. The letters include profiles of such figures as Joe Louis, George Wallace, Lyndon Johnson, Duke Ellington, Marian Anderson, J. William Fulbright, and Jesse Jackson. They explore changes in the language of race and in black and white society. The texts also reveal the process of change (and lack of change) in the views of one immigrant over more than half a century.
The Custom of the Country is an accurate edition of scripts as near as possible to the words as Cooke wrote and spoke them. The edition, spanning the years 1946-2003, was compiled from manuscripts and transcripts in the Alistair Cooke collection at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University, and at the BBC Written Archives Centre in Reading, England. Available versions were consulted and compared in the preparation of the text. In addition to the introduction, which contains specific references to the texts, footnotes report key variant readings, along with historical and biographical background, as well as extensive cross-referencing of topics and events.

Full textAbstract:
Narrative, Gender, and Masquerade tracks the way the American novel of manners structures itself on representations of a pair of purportedly opposite and opposing women, the fair, innocent girl and the dark, tempting seductress. This opposition increasingly merges into sameness even as the novel in which it appears labors to keep the two characters separate in order to stabilize its textual architecture of thematic and formal binaries. Presenting itself as a text closely related to a social reality, the American novel of manners is structured as a masquerade: purporting to reveal as it conceals, conjuring readerly doubt as to the nature of both mask and reality. There are two main theoretical traditions in the study of masquerade. The first, the anthropologically-inflected cultural and literary historical approach to masks and masquerade, typically is applied to literary texts to explain religious and political historical exigencies as reflected in a given work of literature. The second, the psychoanalically-based theory of femininity as a masquerade, is most often deployed to use the text as a means of explaining the male gaze, desire, and gender performance. My reading of the American novel as gendered rests on dissolving the disciplinary borders between the two, thereby focusing reading on the form of the novel as well as its relation to its cultural, historical, and literary context. The novels I analyze situate women into stereotypical binary roles of the virgin and the seductress. These narratives register a duality between reality and representation that is analogous to the gender masking the novels take as their theme.

Van, Hart Rachel F. "The Editorial Double Vision of Maxwell Perkins: How the Editor of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Wolfe Plied His Craft." VCU Scholars Compass, 2015. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/3729.
Full textAbstract:
Scholars and literary enthusiasts have struggled for decades to account for editor Maxwell Perkins’s unparalleled success in facilitating the careers of many of the early twentieth century’s most enduring and profitable writers, among them F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Thomas Wolfe. This study seeks to penetrate that mystery by dissecting Perkins’s editorial practice and examining how he navigated the competing tensions between commercial success and aesthetic integrity in various circumstances. At play in the construction of his literary legacy are prevailing perceptions of authorship, complex interpersonal relationships, and the inherent battle between art and commerce. Focusing on his day-to-day activities, it is apparent that Perkins was guided by a unique editorial double vision—the propensity to appreciate the aesthetic experience while retaining the critical detachment necessary to appraise a literary work from a commercial standpoint—when solving the paradoxical dilemmas inherent in modern publishing.

Lelekis, Debbie. "Lily’s Dilemma: Opposing Principles in The House of Mirth." Scholar Commons, 2004. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/1128.
Full textAbstract:
The focus of this study is Lily Bart and how she maneuvers in the cold, competitive world of upper class New York. To create a framework for my investigation, I draw upon naturalistic readings of the story which portray Lily as an outsider or "other" in her society. Lily's ethical principles lead to her destruction. Her marriage problem is just an example of her rejection of the life that her society expects her to lead. As she becomes more aware of a different philosophy of life--characterized by Selden's "republic of the spirit"--she finds it impossible to abide by the rules and customs of her society. Ultimately she is unable to live in either world successfully. My research suggests that Lily's moral integrity prevents her from marrying only for money, but she is unable to see other choices available to her that will satisfy her need for luxury and wealth. In my study of Lily I examine the reasons why she could not reconcile the two opposing principles that lead to her downfall. My work analyzes Lily's inner struggles between her values and her ambition.

teorias de ensino/aprendizagem da língua inglesa como segunda língua e como língua
estrangeira, sendo essa a razão do vocabulário ter exercido um papel secundário nesses
materiais. Abordagens mais recentes, como The Lexical Approach, têm enfatizado o
vocabulário como fator preponderante para a aquisição de uma língua, e com isso, mudanças
têm ocorrido gradualmente. Diante desse novo cenário é que este trabalho está pautado com o
objetivo de analisar se alguns livros didáticos de ensino de inglês já seguem essa tendência e
de que forma contemplam o léxico. Foram escolhidos cinco livros dos níveis iniciantes de três
séries usadas no mercado e publicadas por editoras consagradas na área. A dissertação contém
quatro capítulos de referencial teórico e um de análise do corpus.<br>Vocabulary presentation in textbooks has always been influenced by English as second or
foreign language teaching and learning theories, and this is the reason why vocabulary has
had a secondary role in these materials. Current approaches, such as The Lexical Approach,
have emphasized vocabulary as a predominant factor for language acquisition, and because of
this, changes have occurred gradually. This work is based on this new scenario, whose
objective is to analyze whether some English textbooks have followed this tendency and how
they deal with lexicon. Five textbooks for beginners, which are used on the English teaching
market, of three important publishers in the area were chosen. This dissertation has four
chapters of theoretical reference and one that analyses the corpus.

Full textAbstract:
Tese de Mestrado em Design de Moda<br>O presente trabalho desenvolve-se no âmbito do Design de Moda, Produção de Moda e Imprensa de Moda (revistas) e tem como tema a influência da imprensa escrita no campo disciplinar. Pretende-se analisar, interpretar, reflectir e obter indicações sobre o modo como a Vogue americana, mais concretamente a sua directora/editora-chefe, Anna Wintour, através da publicação das revista e dos seus conteúdos, assim como pela sua orientação editorial, tem influenciado, difundido, promovido e transformado a indústria de produtos de moda, condicionando os criadores e, simultaneamente, o comportamento dos consumidores. O desenvolvimento tecnológico dos meios de captação e de difusão de imagens – nomeadamente a fotografia digital -, tornou estes recursos técnicos em instrumentos eficazes de sedução dos públicos-alvo. Com um controle quase impossível de exercer sobre as imagens produzidas, o mundo em que vivemos transformou-se num mundo dominado pelas imagens, imagens que substituíram o texto como forma dominante de cultura, mas que se constituem, também como narrativas. No intuito de ultrapassar a concorrência, a Vogue americana desenvolve estratégias centradas na sua imagem como “vitrine/montra” de moda, promovendo ou despromovendo criadores e produtos de moda, levantando questões que giram à volta do trabalho das revistas de moda e da possível interferência das suas directoras na independência dos criadores. Anna Wintour, a directora/editora-chefe da Vogue, é a papisa que decide o que deve constar na bíblia da moda? Quem dita a moda? As editoras de moda, os criadores, os fotógrafos? A colaboração dos fotógrafos Mário Testino e Patrick Demarchelier na execução da capa e da produção fotográfica colour blocking para o famoso September Issue de 2007 (840 páginas), sob a direcção de Anna Wintour, cujo processo de composição/elaboração está na origem de um documentário com o mesmo título, são analisadas como estudo exemplificativo da relação entre a moda e as estratégias de imagem - que envolve celebridades, algumas vindas da indústria cinematográfica, introduzidas de modo inovador e apelativo nas capas e nas produções fotográficas da Vogue - assim como o papel/poder de Anna Wintour nele espelhado.<br>This study develops around the subject of fashion design, styling and fashion press (magazines). Its central theme is on the influence of fashion magazines in the area. It aims to analyse, interpret, reflect and obtain clues about how the fashion press, more precisely the American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, has influenced, shared out, promoted and transformed the industry of fashion products and simultaneously constrained fashion designers as well as consumers’ behaviour. The technological advance in the means of capturing and spreading images – such as the digital photography – transformed these technical resources in efficient instruments of manipulation/seduction of the target audience. With an almost unfeasible control over the images produced, the world we live in has been transformed into a world dominated by images. The former have replaced text as the dominant form of culture but they have also become narratives. So as to overcome competition, the American Vogue has developed its image centred strategies acting as a ‘shop-window’ of fashion, endorsing or not endorsing fashion designers and fashions products. This has led fashion consumers to wonder about the role of fashion magazines and the interference of editors-in-chief in the autonomy of fashion designers. Is Anna Wintour, the editorin- chief of Vogue, the “pope” who decides what is to be published in the fashion bible? Who decides what is “in”? The fashion editors, the designers, the photographers? The collaboration of both photographers Mário Testino and Patrick Demarchelier in the making of the cover and in the colour blocking photo shoot for the famous 2007 September Issue (840 pages), under the supervision of its editorin- chief Anna Wintour, whose creation process is the basis of a documentary under the same title, is analysed considering the relationship between fashion and image strategies – that includes celebrities, some of which coming from the film industry, brought in as an innovative and attractive change to the covers and photo shoots of Vogue, as well as the role/power of Anna Wintour reflected in it.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that Edith Wharton’s assessment of American ways and their meaning in her post-war fiction has been widely misread. Its title derives from French Ways and Their Meaning (1919), which she wrote to educate her countrymen about French culture and society. Making sense of America was as great a challenge to Wharton. Much of her later fiction was for a long time dismissed by critics on the grounds that she had failed to ‘make sense’ of America. Wharton was troubled by American materialism and optimism, yet she believed in a culturally significant future for her nation. She advocated – and wrote – an American fiction that looked critically at society and acknowledged the nation’s ties to Europe. Sometimes her assessment of American ways is reductive, and presented in a tone that her critics, then and since, found off- putting and snobbish. But her skepticism about American modernity was penetrating and prophetic, and has not been given its due. In criticism over the last two decades, a case for the place of Wharton’s post-war fiction in canons of feminism and modernism has been persuasively made. The thesis responds to these positions, but makes its own argument that the post-war writing reflects broader shift in American identity and ideology. The thesis is broadly historicist in its strategy, opening with a discussionofthereputationofthesetextsandthatoftheauthormoregenerally. Afterthat entry-point, it is organized thematically, with four chapters covering topics that are seen as key components of American ideology in Wharton’s post-war writing. These include modernity, gender equality, the American Dream of social mobility, and American exceptionalism. The thesis concludes with an assessment of Wharton’s prognostications in the context of twenty-first century America.

Full textAbstract:
Boris Kozhevnikov was a preeminent composer for the wind orchestras of the Soviet military. His Third Symphony is well known in the United States, but the rest of his compositions, and most of the Soviet wind band repertoire, remain unstudied and unperformed outside Russia. This document will explain how Soviet composers carried out their musical obligations as dictated by Communist Party mandates. Further, the functionality and prevalence of Soviet military bands will be explored. Finally, Boris Kozhevnikov will be investigated as a composer who wrote for military ensembles while adhering to Party ideals. American editions of two pieces--the Fourth Symphony and March for Ceremonial Passing--have been created as representative examples of Kozhevnikov's contribution to the genre.Socialist Realism is the term used to describe the Soviet government's mandate for "appropriate" music. Composers were expected to write music that was accessible to the masses, contained programmatic inferences, and aroused sentiments of patriotism and nationalistic pride. Rejected were any pieces displaying formalistic tendencies, including non-programmatic, overly chromatic, or atonal works.Three thousand military wind orchestras were performing in the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War. These ensembles played original Russian and Soviet music, the vast majority of which is unknown outside Russia. Composers such as Dmitri Shostakovich, Nikolai Miaskovsky, and Sergei Prokofiev wrote for the military ensembles, providing marches and programmatic works.Boris Kozhevnikov taught at the Moscow Conservatory and Institute of Military Conductors for over forty years. He was a highly respected professor, composer, and conductor, and received praise from both Miaskovsky and Shostakovich. One of the first composers to write multiple symphonies for band, Kozhevnikov composed over forty pieces for winds, all exhibiting fundamentals of Socialist Realism. Among his techniques were the incorporation of folk, worker, and revolutionary songs; compositions specifically written and titled for commemorative events; and the composition of works for functional purposes, such as marches and ceremonial music. For his efforts, Kozhevnikov was awarded as a Distinguished Artist of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, the Red Star, the Red Banner, the Alexandrov Award, and the Order of the Badge of Honor.

Full textAbstract:
The epochal musical Hair is based predominantly on the actions and reactions to the cultural and societal occurrences of the Sixties. So, what can be done to help in the understanding of this historic musical? The answer: to produce an annotated text of the musical that will offer support to director and cast. The study consists of four chapters; the first, an introduction to the study; the second, a historical review (1960-1970); the third, the annotations which seeks to identify and explain all unfamiliar or unusual words, cultural obscurities, or personalities that might confuse, or otherwise mislead a full and comprehensive understanding of the author's original concept; and fourth, the worldwide performances of Hair and revivals after the original Broadway production.

Horel, Kira Lynn. "The overture to George Frederick Bristow's Rip Van Winkle: a critical edition." Diss., University of Iowa, 2012. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2895.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation centers on creating a new critical edition of the Rip Van Winkle overture. One of America's earliest opera composers, George Frederick Bristow (1825-1898), completed the opera Rip Van Winkle in 1855. When he revised it twenty-five years later in 1880, the composer omitted the original overture which was then thought to be lost. A concert version of this overture exists today only in manuscript form, located at the New York Public Library. Rip Van Winkle is significant to the history of American Music because it is one of the earliest operas composed by an American, and the first to be written on American subject matter (in this case, Washington Irving's story of the same name). Adding to the work's considerable historical significance is that the overture was one of the first American pieces performed by the New York Philharmonic Society, in which Bristow was a violinist. There is currently no scholarly edition of the overture, and thus this edition will fill a significant gap in the understanding of nineteenth-century American music. This critical edition of the overture to George Frederick Bristow's Rip Van Winkle was created in order to be published and available for performance and study, shedding light on the often under-represented American opera in the United States.

Deans, Paige. "The Prodigal Daughter: An Edition of an Anonymous Text." VCU Scholars Compass, 2019. https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/6095.
Full textAbstract:
The Prodigal Daughter (1736) is a poem that, on the surface, appears to be an approachable text that was likely geared towards a children’s audience during New England’s first Great Awakening, within the approachable format of a chapbook. However, when explored further, The Prodigal Daughter reveals a complicated textual history during a time of theological and social revival in New England. This thesis considers the historical context of The Prodigal Daughter’s narrative, as well as the poem’s publication history. The text’s transmission is carefully examined and encapsulated in this edition—giving the reader a transcription that is the result of collating twenty-eight surviving witnesses of The Prodigal Daughter. This thesis serves as a critical edition of The Prodigal Daughter, with an introduction which includes a careful consideration of gendered theology, homiletics, the literary marketplace, and the role of the devil in the female conversion narrative during New England’s first Great Awakening.

Full textAbstract:
The untold account of the countless Americans who believe in, or personally experience, paranormal phenomena such as ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs and psychics
Given the popularity of television shows such as Finding Bigfoot, Ghost Hunters, Supernatural, and American Horror Story, there seems to be an insatiable public hunger for mystical happenings. But who believes in the paranormal? Based on extensive research and their own unique personal experiences, Christopher Bader, Joseph Baker and Carson Mencken reveal that a significant number of Americans hold these beliefs, and that for better or worse, we undoubtedly live in a paranormal America.
Readers will join the authors as they participate in psychic and palm readings, and have their auras photographed, join a Bigfoot hunt, follow a group of celebrity ghost hunters as they investigate claims of a haunted classroom, and visit a support group for alien abductees.
The second edition includes new and updated research based on findings from the Baylor Religion survey regarding America’s relationship with the paranormal. Drawing on these diverse and compelling sources of data, the book offers an engaging account of the social, personal, and statistical stories of American paranormal beliefs and experiences. It examines topics such as the popularity of paranormal beliefs in the United States, the ways in which these beliefs relate to each other, whether paranormal beliefs will give rise to a new religion, and how believers in the paranormal differ from “average” Americans.
Brimming with fascinating anecdotes and provocative new findings, Paranormal America offers an entertaining yet authoritative examination of a growing segment of American religious culture.<br>https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1125/thumbnail.jpg

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study of how the American author Edith Wharton (1862-1937) in a number of novels and short stories written between 1876 and 1937 depicts cultural encounters between Americans and Europeans, mostly Frenchmen. Chiefly concerned with Fast and Loose, “The Last Asset”, Madame de Treymes, “Les Metteurs en Scène”, The Custom of the Country and The Age of Innocence, each of which articulates ideas relevant to the theme investigated, the thesis also contains a supplementary discussion of The Reef, The Glimpses of the Moon, The Mother’s Recompense and The Buccaneers. Borrowing terms and theoretical perspectives from Pierre Bourdieu and postcolonial literary criticism, particularly Homi Bhabha’s theories about inbetweenness, mimicry and otherness, the study contends through detailed analyses of single works that Wharton’s descriptions of Franco-American encounters are dynamic processes through which the parties involved are made aware of their own and “the other’s” distinguishing qualities and, in some significant cases, reach a heightened state of consciousness resembling Bhabha’s inbetweenness. Wharton’s cultural encounters often involve people with different levels of education and different economic and social positions, which justifies the use of Bourdieu’s method of analyzing the relationship between educational and social status in terms of different kinds of capital. While in her early works Wharton merely intimates the contours of the cultural encounter, in mature works such as Madame de Treymes and The Age of Innocence she views it as a highly complex process the many stages of which are intimated through the use of subtle narratological techniques. Throughout her work Wharton makes intricate use of imagery and keywords, some of them testifying to her interest in anthropology, to suggest the manifold dimensions of the cultural encounter, which is seen as both tempting and repelling. Her accounts of the Franco-American encounter are complexly related to the different phases of the American political and social situation described in her novels. The American experience of the meeting of the ‘old society’ and the ‘new’ is rendered even more complex by being seen as the background against which Europeans and Americans negotiate transactions of symbolic and economic capital. In most of her works these lead to tragic or tragic-comic misunderstandings; only in her last, unfinished novel does she describe a full-fledged Euro-American identity, a successful fusion of American and European experiences.<br>Den här avhandlingen är en studie i hur den amerikanska författarinnan Edith Wharton (1862-1937) i ett antal romaner och noveller skrivna mellan 1876 and 1937 skildrar kulturella möten mellan amerikaner och européer, främst fransmän. Avhandlingen behandlar huvudsakligen verken Fast and Loose, “The Last Asset”, Madame de Treymes, ”Les Metteurs en Scène”, The Custom of the Country and The Age of Innocence, som alla uttrycker idéer om kulturmöten; den innehåller även en kompletterande diskussion av verken The Reef, The Glimpses of the Moon, The Mother’s Recompense and The Buccaneers. Med termer och perspektiv hämtade från Pierre Bourdieu och postkolonial litteraturforskning, främst Homi Bhabhas teorier om in-betweenness (”mellanskap”), mimicry och otherness hävdar studien genom detaljerade analyser av enskilda verk hur Whartons beskrivningar av fransmäns och amerikaners möten är dynamiska processer där i bästa fall båda parter blir medvetna om sin egen och ”den andres” särart, och i vissa fall även når ett intensifierat medvetande som påminner om Bhabhas in-betweenness. Whartons kulturmöten sker oftast mellan personer med olika bildning samt ekonomisk och social position, vilket gör att Bourdieus perspektiv för analys av relationen mellan utbildning och social status som styrd av olika sorters kapital kommer till användning. I sina tidiga berättelser antyder Wharton konturerna av det kulturella mötet, i mogna verk som Madame de Treymes and The Age of Innocence gestaltar hon det som en mycket komplex process vars många skeden antyds via hennes användning av subtil berättarteknik. Alltigenom sina verk tillämpar Wharton ett komplext bildspråk och nyckelord, varav vissa vittnar om hennes intresse för antropologi, som antyder kulturmötets många dimensioner, framställt som samtidigt lockande och frånstötande/avskräckande. Hennes redogörelser av det fransk-amerikanska mötet är komplext relaterat till de olika faser av den amerikanska politiska och sociala situation som beskrivs i hennes berättelser. Den amerikanska erfarenheten av mötet mellan den ”gamla sociala grupperingen” och den ”nya” skildras som mer komplext genom att ses som den bakgrund mot vilken européerna och amerikanerna förhandlar transaktioner av symboliskt och ekonomiskt kapital. I merparten av hennes verk leder dessa transaktioner till tragiska eller tragikomiska missförstånd; bara i hennes sista, ofullbordade roman beskriver hon en fullt utvecklad euroamerikansk identitet, en lyckad sammansmältning av amerikanska och europeiska erfarenheter.

Full textAbstract:
American composer Roy Harris began writing a symphony for the Tommy Dorsey band in 1938, but the piece was never completed. This dissertation project chronicles the events surrounding the interesting collaboration between the composer and the bandleader, including problems incurred during the rehearsal process, the eventual abandonment of the project, and the discovery of the little-known band work. The paper includes information on the composer's life and works, an in-depth discussion of the compositional technique that Harris called “autogenesis,” and a detailed analysis of the two surviving movements of the band piece. The piece is also discussed comparatively with other significant works in Harris' symphonic genre, most notably his Folksong Symphony, also known as his Fourth Symphony. A significant portion of the research and preparation for the project was spent reconstructing a modern wind ensemble edition of the two surviving movements. A complete score of the reconstructed edition is included as part of this project.
