Sonali Fernando\u27s Mary Seacole: The Real Angel of the Crimea as Successful Cinematic Adaptation of Post-Colonial Voices
This honors thesis will explore the thematic relationship between Jamaican-British pioneer Mary Seacole’s autobiography, The Wonderful Adventures of Mary Seacole in Many Lands (1857) and the BBC docudrama Mary Seacole: The Real Angel of Crimea (2005) directed by Sonali Fernando. In this paper, critical conversations around race, gender, class, and citizenship in both literature and cinema will contextually add to the dynamic between literature and film adaptations, while contextually contributing to the lack thereof for intersectional experiences in narrative media. Moreover, the paper will consult both literary and film theorists such as Homi Bhabha and bell hooks to understand postcolonial voices framed through the perspective of a black woman, in both text and screen. By looking at this adaptation through a literary and cinematic lens, this paper intends to uncover the film’s veracity in honoring the legacy and tenacity of the woman who has been called England’s best black Briton
In Pursuit of a Stable Luminescent Radical: Investigating an Olefin Synthesis via the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons Reaction
We investigate the synthesis of allyl radical compounds, such as C. F. Koelsch’s free radical bis(diphenylene)-9’-phenylallyl (BDPA). BDPA is a persistent organic radical with magnetization properties. BDPA doesnot fluoresce, but we believe the substitution of a fluorene group with the chromophore 1-azaxanthone will induce luminescent properties and create a BDPA•derivative bis(diphenylene)-9’-azaxanthylene phenylallyl (BAxPA•). A convergent synthetic path was conducted in the development of BAxPA. The synthesis of 1-azaxanthone via a Friedel crafts reaction and a subsequent condensation produced the chromophore. The BDPA framework was created via varying Pudovik reactions that gave precursor molecules that will be used for the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction which combines azaxanthone with the BDPA framework. Several synthetic issues are explored in this investigation and a proposal for a new HWE route ensues. NMR and EPR spectroscopy are used to identify and characterize the compounds
