The Bibliographic Concept of Work in Cataloguing and its Issues
No full textThis report explores the IFLA’s document Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). It discusses the notion of work in cataloguing as it was built since the 1950s, inasmuch this notion constitutes the conceptual framework for the proposal. Also, the entity-relationship database modeling (ERDM) system is described as far as such model provides to FRBR the operative elements that make it functional. ERDM gives to FRBR a user-centered approach as well. In its third chapter, the report tests the FRBR model through its application to a set of items belonging to the novel Rayuela, by Julio Cortázar, held at the Benson Latin American Collection of the University of Texas at Austin. Finally, some critical issues are raised along with general conclusions regarding the functionality of the mode
Norma Coverdale, B.A.: the treatment of women in selected works of Henry de Montherlant
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to determine how women are treated in selectedworks of Henry de Montherlant. This is explored by examining their relationshipswith other women as well as with men. Inevitably, this leads to an analysis ofthe multifaceted area of love. Part I researches Montherlant's prose work and included in this section is the investigation of the importance of 'l'ordre male' to the author and the influence this exerts over his early prose work in the areas of tauromachy, war and sport, and where the male adherence to this concept leaves women. The 'syncretisme et alternance' which is central to Montherlant's thinking is explored in this section.Part 2 is concerned with Montherlant's theatre in which the psychological development of the main characters is of great importance. It is in this section that a comparative study is made of the influence of Mme. Elisabeth Zehrfuss' written contribution to La Reine morte. Her unpublished notes are set out in full in the Appendix. The thesis also draws on the unpublished correspondence between Henry de Montherlant and Elisabeth Zehrfuss between the years 1934 and 1945. An investigation is made as to whether or not there are any differences between the way women are treated in Montherlant's prose and in his theatre and the conclusion is drawn that there are

Representative Bureaucracy and the Willingness to Coproduce: An Experimental Study
No full textRelying on the theory of representative bureaucracy—specifically, the notion of symbolic representation—this article examines whether varying the number of female public officials overseeing a local recycling program influences citizens’ (especially women's) willingness to cooperate with the government by recycling, thus coproducing important policy outcomes. Using a survey experiment in which the first names of public officials are manipulated, the authors find a clear pattern of increasing willingness on the part of women to coproduce when female names are more represented in the agency responsible for recycling, particularly with respect to the more difficult task of composting food waste. Overall, men in the experiment were less willing to coproduce across all measures and less responsive to the gender balance of names. These findings have important implications for the theory of representative bureaucracy and for efforts to promote the coproduction of public services.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Riccucci, Norma M., Van Ryzin, Gregg G. & Li, Huafang.

Interrupting the silences in twentieth century Southern women's literature: recovering and re-visioning the life and literary work of Caroline Pafford Miller
No full textThis item is available only to currently enrolled UTSA students, faculty or staff. To download, navigate to Log In in the top right-hand corner of this screen, then select Log in with my UTSA ID.In this study, I examine the reasons Caroline Miller, author of the novel Lamb in His Bosom (winner of both the 1934 Pulitzer Prize and the Prix Femina Vie Heurcusse ) and Lebanon (published in 1944 and now out of print) has all but fallen into obscurity and argue that though Miller's work has been labeled a regional accomplishment and relevant, minimally, to studies of the U.S. South might account, in part, for her erasure from American literature in general, it does not explain her absence from studies focused on local color or regional writing of the Southern United States or of Southern women writers. Although winning a Pulitzer does not necessarily ensure or warrant continued popularity of any writer, that Miller was the first Georgia woman writer to win the Pulitzer significantly highlights the absence of her name in current feminist critical studies of Southern women writers, as well as studies that specifically name Georgia-Pulitzer-prize-winning novelists, and suggests more than mere oversight. I argue that Miller's absence stems from two primary reasons: (1) Miller's writing and life challenged Southern literary and cultural notions of "place" by making public the private matters of her history, as well as Georgia History and (2) Lamb in His Bosom's feminine narrative, as defined by and in opposition to Agrarian notions of "masculine" literature assured the erasure of both Miller and her novel from studies of Southern literature, as well as many other authors and novels yet recovered.Englis
