Intricate Detail, Bold Color: Porcelain Figure (Creative)
No full textThis striking porcelain figurine of a young man, standing almost half a foot tall, captures attention with its bold colors, dynamic movement, and intricate detail. The figure\u27s coat is a vivid mix of blue and pink, a sharp contrast against the pure white of his pants and skin. He stands on a faux-marble circular base with a partially broken column behind him. Swirling gold designs are repeated on the base which shares pigment with the coat buttons, hat, belt, and other accessories, lavishly decorating the piece. He appears to be checking the time on a watch held up to his face.
The figure\u27s compelling presence, particularly the dynamic pose with an out-turned foot and arms crossed over the chest, provides a blueprint for my creative work. While the original societal values of blue and gold for the maker are unknown, their combination today powerfully communicates opulence and nobility. The sheer amount of shimmering gold and the richness of the vibrant blue create a combination I see as both traditional in its elegance and strikingly luxurious, a compelling pairing. The masterful details such as the delicate holes in the lace coat cuffs and the subtle, life-giving red blush on the lips and pale cheeks all serve to enhance this perception. By increasing the saturation of the blue and enhancing the luster of the gold in my interpretation, I aim to focus the viewer on this powerful visual duality of the colors, which articulates the figure\u27s inherent tenseness and elevated status. The lightening of the blue helps to further expose its beauty. Who is this distinguished gentleman?https://crossworks.holycross.edu/photographing_antiquity/1080/thumbnail.jp

Pathos and Power: Gendered Rhetoric in Ciceronian Rome and the 21st-Century U.S.
Full text linkThis thesis explores the power of persuasion in two major eras: in the 1st century BCE in Rome and the 21st-century United States. Marcus Tullius Cicero was a prolific orator, lawyer, and statesman in the late Roman Republic. His orations have been studied for his expertise in rhetorical prowess. This thesis considers his approach to persuading his audience, an all-male jury, and how he effectively uses pathos, or the appeal to the emotions, to target gendered expectations of his male listeners. I explore Cicero’s characterization of two women in two speeches: Sassia in the Pro Cluentio (66 BCE) and Clodia in the Pro Caelio (56 BCE). His argument in both speeches is similar: to gain support for his cases, Cicero perverts the collective expectations of his audience to describe two women who are harmful to his male clients. For Sassia, he draws on expectations of motherhood, ultimately defining her as an “unnatural mother.” For Clodia, he distorts the beliefs of a proper Roman woman to present her as a threat to the Roman patriarchy as Rome’s very own Palatine Medea. I argue that Cicero’s frequent play of female stereotypes and castigation of their characters stems from a fear of women overtaking the established patriarchy in ancient Rome. In my third chapter, I test my analysis of Ciceronian rhetoric to President Trump’s approach to his female political opponents through his treatment of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris in the 2016 and 2024 electoral campaigns, respectively. I turn to political psychological theories on fragile masculinity and gender stereotypes to draw valuable connections between these prominent male political figures
