Pollack, Alexander Gregory. "Half-virgin." Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2011. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/5010.

Abstract:

Half-Virgin is a cross-genre collection of essays, short stories, and poems about the humor, pain, and occasional glory of journeying into adulthood but not quite getting there. The works in this collection seek to create a definition of a term, "half-virgin," that I coined in the process of writing this thesis. Among the possibilities explored are: an individual who embarks upon sexual activity for the first time and does not achieve orgasm; an individual who has reached orgasm through consensual sexual activity, but has remained uncertain about what he or she is doing; and the curious sensat

Abstract:

'The virgin, the temptress and the godess' is a visual exploration of love, longing and beauty from the carnal though to the sublime. The narrative of the research has several subtexts: one that explores female archetypes, the muse as figurative source of inspiration and also beauty as a transcendental catalyst. I have sought to represent a comprehensive vision of the female muse that embraces both the spiritual and the sensual and explores the duality of corporeal and metaphysical yearning. This is done through photographic imagery; the journey that it evokes is an interior landscape that tak

Abstract:

This study concerns two women who were religiously active either side of the Great Schism (1378–1417), a period of intensification of the excesses of personal pride and political ambition that divided the western Church and caused distress to devoted, thoughtful laity and clerics alike. Devout laity sought new expressions of piety in these stressful times and through examining the written legacies of two non-enclosed religious women, Caterina Benincasa and Margery Kempe, I explore not only the contemplative/devotional practices that characterise them, but also the clerics upon whom they relied

Abstract:

This thesis is an interdisciplinary examination of the place of the Virgin Mary in the English reformations of the sixteenth century. Situated at the crossroads of cultural and social history, it engages with the post-revisionist debate within Reformation studies. It seeks to move post-revisionism forward by suggesting that the versatility and vitality of late medieval Mariology enabled reformers, Catholic and Protestant, to select and reject from a basket of possibilities. Consequently it contends that the fissures that had opened up by the time of the Elizabethan settlement had essentially d

Organic matter contents of the surface·horizons were quite high (4.5 - 16 %), and they contained moderate to strong crumb structure.

Abstract:

This thesis examines literary appropriations of the Virgin Mary in the early modem period to argue that she continued to occupy the early modern imagination. The Virgin Mary operates as a lieu de memoire, recalling the Catholic medieval past, but she was refashioned in new terms in the early modern period to ruminate on issues such as mnemonic prayer, material spirituality, motherhood and breastfeeding, female voice, appropriate grief and female authority. By reading a variety of genres, written by both men and women, Protestant and Catholic, from across the period, the thesis argues for the V

Abstract:

The ability of Great Britain to build what became the largest empire the world has yet known was largely influenced by the Industrial Revolution which began in the late eighteenth-century. A variety of constituents were responsible for creating the phenomena which changed the face of British history, not least the economic remittances made by the British West Indian colonies. By the end of the eighteenth-century, William Pitt estimated that four-fifths of all income received from the British overseas colonies came from the British West Indies, which once deposited into the treasury contributed

The identification of Rembrandt as a ��Protestant�� artist has, since the middle of the nineteenth century, defined and directed analytical perspective of his biblical works. In the initial stages of Rembrandt��s reinvention as representative of the Protestant culture of his age, religion was not important in terms of the art produced; it was an indication of political identity. A recognition of the importance of Rembrandt��s religious beliefs to his biblical works led later art historians to define these works in terms of a Protestant identity.

The effect of recycling on the mechanical response of composites was assessed by comparing virgin and recycled materials with identical woven architectures. The performance
