Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka förändringar som har skett mellan VirginiaWatsons bok, Indianprinsessan Pocahontas (1925) och Disneys utgåva av Pocahontas(1995). Det jag kommer att undersöka djupare är vad som tagits bort, respektive lagts till iromanen och bilderboken. Jag kommer även att jämföra böckernas karaktärer, miljöer ochgenrestruktur för att se vad som skiljer dessa åt. Studien kommer även att ta upp böckernasteman, där jag undersökt likheter och skillnader. Slutligen kommer studien även beröra endidaktisk del där jag diskuterar böckernas olika användningsområden i en

Le mythe de Pocahontas participe à bâtir une justification collective en évolution constante de l'entreprise de conquête nord-américaine. L'étude des textes originaux (1608-1624), œuvres du capitaine John Smith, ainsi que des nombreuses versions qui leurs succédèrent, nous introduit dans les rouages les plus intimes de la problématique coloniale, puis de la construction de la nation nord-américaine, avide de trouver ses fondements propres et ceux d'une éthique universelle<br>The Pocahontas myth is involved in the building of a perpetually evolving collective justification of the North American

Abstract:

This thesis details the labors of research and judgment that informed the writing of Matoaka, a Play in Three Acts. Specifically, the thesis explores the historical puzzles surrounding the life of Pocahontas and justifies the decisions made in dramatizing her life in the aforementioned play. Non-fictional works of the last four hundred years are considered, as well as popular dramatic performances of the nineteenth century. These works are examined closely in order to reveal the Pocahontas story as a point of contact between many concurrent social discourses. Reflections are also offered on th

Abstract:

My dissertation, "The Princess Production: Locating Pocahontas in Time and Place," critically evaluates the succession of representations of Pocahontas since her death in 1617. Pocahontas has become the prototypical "Indian Princess," through which the indigenous "other" is mapped onto Eurocentric constructions of gender and race, and subsequently transformed into the object of desire to be colonized. Chapter One begins with an introduction to the Pocahontas myth, and continues with an overview of the representation of Native Americans in cinema. Given that Native Americans have been the su

Abstract:

Vilka religiösa symboler, idéer och element kommer till uttryck i filmen Pocahontas? Så lyder problemformuleringen i denna uppsats. Med hjälp av fenomenografi som forskningsmetod, som resulterat i ett strukturerat kategorisystem har jag svarat på denna problemformulering. Filmen innehåller många olika religiösa symboler, idéer och element. Många som man inte ens tänker på om man inte studerar filmen från en religionsvetenskaplig utgångspunkt. Dessa har jag valt att lyfta fram genom denna filmanalys. Nyckelord: Filmanalys, film, religionsvetenskap, mytologi, symboler och tecken.

Abstract:

Early Pennsylvanian, coal-bearing, siliciclastic strata of the Breathitt Group within the Pocahontas Basin, southwestern Virginia, define a southeasterly thickening clastic wedge deposited in continental to marginal marine environments influenced by recurring, high-magnitude relative sea-level fluctuations and low-frequency changes in tectonic loading. A robust dataset of >1200 well logs, cores and numerous outcrops allowed a unique review of the Central Appalachian lithologic record during both the Late Paleozoic Ice Age and onset of the Alleghanian Orogeny.

Abstract:

Pocahontas High School, the smallest of four Tazewell County high schools, is presently located in the historic town of Pocahontas, Virginia. From the school's establishment in 1908 until 1955, the high school was located at the top of Water Street within the town limits. In 1955, students were moved to a new building at its present site just inside the town's corporate limits. The school today serves the communities of Abbs Valley, Boissevain, and the Town of Pocahontas, Virginia. This study included an examination of the role of the school in the mining community, and the relationship betwe

Abstract:

Maize uses a photosynthetic pathway called C4 which produces a carbon signature in animal tissue that is different from most of the plants available to the inhabitants of the Southeastern United States. Faunal remains (deer, rodent, and turtle) from Pocahontas Mounds (22HI500) and Lyons Bluff (22OK520) were tested to determine whether the samples possessed a C4 signature. Maize has been found at both sites, but the extent of maize agriculture was not known. Rodent and turtle from both sites indicate partial to heavy consumption of C4 plants, while one deer sample from Pocahontas indicates mode

Abstract:

Both the natural and civilized worlds establish a context within which I may understand my own existence. My search for “self” and the emotive qualities of life within these contexts provides the impetus for my work. I create juxtapositions: from found art assemblages to, more recently, intimate experiences in public park environments. Within these curated experiences I challenge myself to open up to unknown experiences derived from my relationship to the landscape and the life forms found within. My videos are a kind of self-surveillance fostering absurdly promiscuous behavior when

Abstract:

Carbon dioxide sequestration in coal-bed methane fields has potential to add significant recoverable reserves and extend the production life of coal-bed methane fields while at the same time providing a geologic sink for atmospheric greenhouse gases. The ability to relate the thickness, extent, and quality of coal seams to their relative position within a sequence is fundamental in determining the sequestration potential of a geologic formation. This thesis documents the carbon dioxide storage capacity and enhanced coalbed methane recovery of lower Pennsylvanian coal-bearing siliciclastic stra

Abstract:

Historical narratives and anecdotes concerning Captain John Smith have been told and retold throughout the entire history the United States of America, and they have proved to be sacred, influential, and contested elements in the construction of the individual, sectional, regional, and national identity of many. In this thesis, I first outline some of the history of how narratives and discourses surrounding Captain John Smith were directly connected with the identity of many Americans during the 18th and 19th century, especially Virginians and Southerners. Then I outline how these narratives a

Abstract:

Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in cust
