Abstract:

This thesis considers a selection of modern landscape poetry from an ecocritical perspective, arguing that this poetry demonstrates how the term landscape might be re-imagined in relation to contemporary environmental concerns. Each chapter discusses poetic responses to a different kind of landscape: gardens, forests, rivers and islands. Chapter One explores how, in the poetry of Ian Hamilton Finlay, Douglas Dunn, Louise Glück and David Harsent, gardens are culturally constructed landscapes in which ideas of self, society and environment are contemplated; I ask whether gardening provides a pos

Abstract:

Esta investigación traza un perfil de la obra del poeta y ensayista Guillermo Camero que explica su esencial poética de la incertidumbre como origen y fin de su escritura poética. Nos encontramos ante una poética que se sustenta sobre la voluntad de conocimiento, un ejercicio de objetivación que arranca de la más humana y profunda voluntad de nombrar el universo pero en el que la duda ya no constituye un simple estadio hacia la certidumbre según regía el paradigma positivista sino que deviene la materialización de un deseo abstracto de verdad. La actitud escéptica del poeta germina en el marco

Abstract:

This project comprises the best poetry written in my graduate study at Ball State University. The title, Liminal, is a term that has reappeared thematically in my work. Merriam Webster defines it as: "the threshold of a physiological or psychological response," but more than that, for me liminality is the doorframe between things; it is poetry. Poetry is a conglomeration of splicing between inner worlds and outer worlds; it tries to capture and recreate physiological or psychological responses, bringing the reader into the threshold that the writer has exited. Poetry is a door, a threshold; it

Abstract:

The poems in The Observing Ape are arranged into three chapters: "Neighbors," "Making," and "Strangers." At their core, these poems trace the ways in which speakers internalize the exterior world. Although no single narrative unifies the collection, each poem records the consciousness of a speaker as the interior and the exterior intersect. Through persona poems and intensely perceived images, the collection strives to understand how humans learn, observe, and imagine. However, forays into visual art, primatology, and voyeurism color the poems with cultural referents, and these referents infus

Abstract:

My research arises from a critique of the tendency within terrorism debates to equate the terrorist act with the production of spectacular images. Chapter 1 uses the work of Luce Irigaray to critique this trend in terrorism discourses, arguing that such a characterisation relies on a repression of the very materiality that terrorist action exploits. Moreover, placing the concept of terror in an Irigarayan framework reveals that the concept of terrorism is bound up with concepts of masculinity. In developing this critical approach, I build on the thinking of both Irigaray and Gayatri Spivak in

This dissertation explores the afterlife of the Western epic tradition in the poetry of the United States of America after World War Two and in the wake of high modernism.

Such challenges include considering and assimilating these ideas amidst conflicting norms and the practicalities of modern training.

Extrapolating from these analyses, the behaviour and potential uses of play are examined more broadly in relation to formal play, sonic play, punning, and oppositional texturing.

The aim of this project is to account for the widespread reception of the epics of Homer and Virgil by American poets of the twentieth century. Since 1914, an unprecedented number of new poems interpreting the Iliad, Odyssey and Aeneid have appeared in the United States. The vast majority of these modern versions are short, combining epic and lyric impulses in a dialectical form of genre that is shaped, I propose, by two cultural movements of the twentieth century: Modernism, and American humanism. Modernist poetics created a focus on the fragmentary and imagistic aspects of Homer and Virgil;

Abstract:

The focus of this thesis is contemporary Polish playwriting after Poland's accession to the European Union in 2004. From a broad reading of plays by many new writers, four playwrights were selected for study on the basis of prominence and artistic merit: Pawel Demirski, Dorota Maslowska, Malgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk and Przemys law Wojcieszek. Their plays were studied as texts and in performance, and twelve main plays became the focus of closer analysis.
