Abstract:

This thesis examines how insights gathered from the subjective experience of the early childhood teacher can challenge assumptions that underlie the occupation's lack of professional recognition. I apply a humanities approach of inquiry, based in curriculum theory and literature/film studies, to talk with daycare, kindergarten and early elementary school teachers about their work with young children.<br>Literary and film texts - which "break us loose from our anchorage" (Greene, 1995, p. 111) - were used to provoke the teachers' discussions. The research was structured through three phases of

Abstract:

Through their editorial arrangements of African-American, Euro-American and European poetry, fiction and news, Frederick Douglass’s anti-slavery periodicals (The North Star and Frederick Douglass’ Paper) imagine a cosmopolitan discourse that predates the segregated realities of the antebellum United States. In spite of Southern blockades against the infiltration of Northern texts, Douglass’s material space uniquely capitalized on the limited restrictions of his reprinting culture to relocate the voice of the ‘outraged slave’ onto a global stage. From the poems of Phillis Wheatley and William C

Abstract:

Encyclopedic narratives, as conceptualized by Edward Mendelson, "attempt to render the full range of knowledge and beliefs of a national culture, while identifying the ideological perspectives from which that culture shapes and interprets its knowledge." The development of system paradigms in the sciences and humanities have shown that the complexity of the modern world-system preclude any such move towards totality. From this ideological shift in contemporary American culture, it follows that recent encyclopedic narratives incorporate these new dynamic perspectives. By applying systems par

Abstract:

Si les romans de Proust et de Sarraute divergent par leurs ambitions autant que par leur style, la mise au jour des interstices de la conversation permet d’affirmer l’existence d’une filiation esthétique reliant les deux auteurs. Il s’agit de segments au discours direct qui, dans l’intervalle entre les répliques, mettent en mots ce qui aurait pu être dit ou ce qui a été dit ailleurs ou en d’autres temps, pour commenter, illustrer ou compléter l’échange en cours. Proust et Sarraute étoffent ainsi les coulisses et les entours de la conversation jusqu’à déplacer l’attention des paroles prononcées

Abstract:

Power displays itself through talk-in-interaction in social situations; it can also present itself through appearances. Appearance is a personal feature that is immediately obvious and available to others to see. A person’s appearance makes a strong statement about ones values, attitude, abilities etc. People display power through different modalities of talk-in-interactions. This study investigates the linguistic tools that people with power tend to use and how a normal everyday person can change their social status by changing and giving out different linguistic signals.

Abstract:

Mirja Unge is a Swedish author who often writes about young people and the tough situations they face. She writes both plays and short-stories and is acclaimed for her dialogue. The aim of this essay is to examine Unge’s dialogue style and how potential face-threatening situations are portrayed. To reach my aim I pose questions regarding the conversational support in two of Unge’s literary works, the short story Det var igår bara and the play Mariella and compare the result. The dialogues analysed both tackle the sensitive subject of sexual assault, a topic that is potentially face-threatening

As Digital Personal Assistants get increasingly present in our lives, repositioning Conversational Interfaces within Interaction Design could be beneficial. More contributions seem possible beyond the commercial vision of Conversational Agents as digital assistants. In this thesis, Design fiction is adopted as an approach to explore a future for these technologies, focusing on the possible social and ritual practices that might arise when Conversational Agents and Artificial Intelligence are employed in contexts such as mortality and grief. As a secondary but related concern, it is argued that

Abstract:

Science fiction is often called the literature/genre of ideas, while SF writers and readers are also seen to function as a highly engaged and conversant community. Within this community, ideas can generate an ongoing conversation between science fiction texts and authors, as well as among readers, convention attendees, academics and, of late, web communities. Often the conversation concerns gender or, more specifically, how science fiction texts represent gender, including masculinities. Yet critical discussion of fictional constructions of masculinities in science fiction has been limited. Th

Abstract:

Reading practices in high school English language arts should lead students to write richer, more developed responses to literature. Teacher-led, reflective, and performance-based instructional modes were combined with either talk or writing to produce six activities for enhancing response. A repeated measures design varied the order of the six learning activities for three classes (n=44) in a Midwest suburban high school. Later written responses were scored for interpretation, response, and appreciation. Pearson correlations revealed the task and criteria were reliable. Analyses of variance (

Abstract:

This dissertation presents an outline, and one interpretation of, the life of its author, The Reverend Doctor Melvyn John Macarthur. It seeks to do this through both its methodology, which is textual and experiential, and through dialogue with the provocateur, Qoheleth, author of the book of Ecclesiastes. The dialogue component (the ‘Conversations’) reflects the author’s passion to engage with people in conversation and also his love of theatre. The ‘Conversations’ in the dissertation take place on the Camino Santiago de Compostella (French Way), a long distance, ancient pilgrim route from S

Abstract The purpose of the 6-week qualitative study was to explore how Grade 1 children responded to five picturebooks by Anthony Browne during interactive read-alouds. The 13 participants and the other non-participants were organized into four mixed gender and mixed reading-ability groups. Data included transcripts from 20 small group read-aloud sessions and field notes that documented additional student affective responses to the texts. Other data included the children’s drawings that were completed after each picturebook small group read-aloud session, as well as transcripts of the stu

Abstract:

This Old Man is comprised of a childhood section from a larger novel that interweaves the experiences of a group of childhood friends who, as adults, are compelled to return to their home town to face an evil they were haunted by as children. Due to word count constraints, the chapters submitted for the Thesis are from the ‘childhood section’ of the novel only. The novel in its entirety explores how adult selves are shaped by their past experiences. This first thematic drive is explored alongside another, which focusses on ideas of agency and humanity in the face of these deterministic forces.
