The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

Preparation for Life? Vocationalism and the Equal Opportunities Challenge
No full textFor much of this century, vocational education has been based on the assumption that boys and girls have very different vocational concerns. The Technical and Vocational Education Initiative (TVEI), which championed the cause of "New Vocationalism" in schools during the 1980s and early 1990s appeared to present a direct challenge to the gendered underpinnings of earlier schemes, by including a high profile commitment to equal opportunities for boys and girls. Using TVEI as a case study example, the book presents the tensions which exist between vocationalism and the promotion of greater gender equality in education and the labor market. The author argues that at a time when greater emphasis is being placed on equal opportunities initiatives which are aimed at boys, continuing inequalities affecting women in the labor market need to be kept at the forefront of debates on gender and education
The poetry of William Heath
No full textThe literature of the Victorian fin de siècle continues to engage scholars; one focus of contemporary research is the genre of working-class writers. This thesis presents a documentary edition of poetry constructed from a 116-year-old autographic manuscript by unknown author William Heath, including the manuscript’s provenance, authorial biography, textual criticism, and a broad literary criticism. This thesis illustrates that much remains to be discovered within the voice of the unpublished ‘everyman’. Heath’s introspective language on faith and morality provide a singular glimpse into his interpretation of Victorian Leeds. By repositioning the manuscript from decaying textual artefact, through its preservation, transmission, and construction into this documentary edition, Heath’s poetry is entered into the genre of nineteenth-century working-class poetry.Victorian eradocumentaryVictorian leedsartefac
