Garth St. Omer's Existential Parlance
Get PDFPurpose of the Study: Garth St. Omer, a contemporary Caribbean author of novellas, develops many themes in his fiction that maybe found in fictional and philosophical writings by Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and other French existentialists. This study ;s an attempt to trace and delineate some of the themes, motifs, and aesthetic techniques common to both St. Omer and the French existentialists. Procedure: In this investigation, a close reading of the works of Garth St. Omer, Albert Camus, and other French Existentialists, has been conducted. In addition, criticism of St. Omer's works and volumes devoted to genre and style have been consulted. A final assimilation, comparison, and integration of these texts has been carried out in an attempt to construct an itinerary of St. Omer's thought. Findings: The particular novella genre developed by Garth St. Omer, as well as his concentrated prose, sets his writings apart from those of the French existentialists. The aesthetic techniques combined with the philosophical themes implicit in his stories give rise to types of alienation and existential experience unique to St. Omer's characters. Conclusions: The parallels that exist between the writings of St. Omer and the French existentialists cannot be relegated to mimesis. For a deep reading of St. Omer's fiction shows that his themes are not variations of Camus's and Sartre's themes (as some critics argue), but rather extensions of a vision that St. Omer and these other artists shared; the central hypothesis being that Garth St. Omer is as independent of Camus and Sartre as he is indebted to them.Gifford, William Tell. 1988.

Politics and the Payne Fund
Get PDFGarth Jowett discusses the Payne Fund Studies, which were a series of studies conducted to examine the effects of motion pictures on American Youth. The author examines how the “Payne Fund attempted to neutralize the potential conflicts which might have arisen once the studies were finally made public, and to minimize the impact of any potential backlash from the motion picture industry”.

Francesca Da Rimini on the Stage or a Study of the Paolo and Francesca Theme as Treated by George Henry Baker, Stephen Phillips, and Gabriele d'Annunzio.
No full textIt is the purpose of this thesis to look into the history and tradition of the Francesca tragedy, and to note the effect of each on Baker, Phillips, and d‘Annunzio; to discuss the approach of the authors to their theme and their manner of handling it; and to discover by what means and by what tools their stage success was due. It is also my intention to compare the poetic efforts of the dramatists with a view to placing them in a scale of values; to study the likenesses and dissimilarities between th^ outstanding four corresponding characters of each author; and, finally, to attempt some fair estimate of the value of their plays to the world.|Obviously, there is no desire to exhaust the theme, even relative to the American, British, and Italian playwrights. If the high points, listed in the paragraph above, are reached, I snail feel that I have partially succeeded.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio

Memory and history in the archive: Photographs of political dissidents in forced labor camps in late nineteenth-century Siberia
Get PDF“Memory and History in the Archive: Photographs of Political Dissidents in Forced Labor Camps in Late Nineteenth-Century Siberia,” examines an album of photographs compiled by the American explorer and scholar George Kennan (1845-1924). Although scholars such as Frederick Travis and Frith Maier have examined Kennan’s biography and writing, no art historical examination of the album and Kennan’s relationship to it has been completed. As a result of his travels through Russia, Kennan began a collection of photographs of political prisoners sentenced to exile and forced labor in Siberia in the late nineteenth century. This thesis examines the different registers of meaning occupied by the album in relation to memory, history, and the archive. While constructing the album from photographs and text in his archive, Kennan moved through different spheres of meaning, redefining his relationship to the photographs. The result is a multimedia examination of the exile experience as viewed from Kennan’s perspective. Through a close analysis of Kennan’s methods and motivations, this thesis argues that the form of the album is situated in liminal paradigms of aesthetic and archival meaning.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Maria Garth, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-19 at 13:08.The student, Maria Garth, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-04-19 at 13:16.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-04-20 at 13:50.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12369 on 2018-08-31 at 17:20:58Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:36:48Z (GMT).
