Class and Leisure in Newport, 1870-1914
No full textAt the turn of the nineteenth century, Newport was known as “the society center of America” – a resort where America’s wealthiest families built grand estates and engaged in elaborate displays of wealth. Newport also attracted a substantial number of upwardly mobile middle-class visitors and working-class hopefuls eager to participate, however briefly, in the American leisure experience.

Illuminated art in the court of Charles the Bald: A study of the great Carolingian Bibles of the 9th century
No full textThis dissertation explores the relationship between technology and 9th century Christian art as well as the integrative forces that compelled religion and technology to produce art. It seeks to examine this art using the Greek definition of technology (techne-art/craft, and logia-study/discourse). It is a study of the Augustinian city of God: a city of men working assiduously to preserve sacred words and deeds using the flavors, seeds, and stones of the earth and blending them into works that would both please God and illuminate him for man. The early part of the dissertation focuses on the theological framework behind the production of these Bibles, with an emphasis on the writings of the fathers of the church including St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, and St Benedict. Their thoughts concerning the effects of Scripture are of primary importance. Other chapters blend the study of methods of producing these bibles with specific forms of technology used. Various folios from these Bibles are analyzed in terms of their artistic methods and their Christian messages. The end result of this dissertation is an understanding of the political and philosophical aspects of religious art as well as the technological imperatives in their production
Muhammad Iqbal and the perfect man: The restoration of Muslim dignity through the integration of philosophy, poetry, politics and conservative Islam.
No full textMuhammad Iqbal lived at multiple human crossroads: of history as British Colonial power waned in India, of the human relationship with technology during the crisis of Modernism, and of the awakening of political Islam to its mortal conflict with the West. Iqbal perceived an attack on human dignity due to the “Mega-Technique†of Colonialism. In this dissertation, I present an inter-disciplinary humanities study of Iqbal\u27s prescription for the restoration of Muslim dignity: the Perfect Man. I will demonstrate how his philosophy, poetic art, political idealism, and conservative Muslim faith are integrated in this concept and how it contributed to the establishment of the state of Pakistan and the contemporary Muslim identity
