Anna Ramirez Interview
No full textAnna Ramirez (Class of 2020) was interviewed by Jonathan Angulo via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on July 9, 2020. Ramirez was born in Venezuela but grew up in El Paso and in Houston. She was involved in numerous academic organizations and programs during her high school career. Ms. Ramirez eventually decided to attend SMU because of the scholarship opportunities granted to her. She had a fairly normal experience at the university but did notice tense race relations on campus. In particular, she remembers how her friends told her about such events; moreover, some professors did not attempt to address race issues adequately. As a human rights and psychology major, she was able to participate in numerous events associated with the majors. During her senior year, Ms. Ramirez presented at SMU's research days. She discussed how historical memory influenced violence in Mexican American households. At the time of the interview, Ms. Ramirez was preparing to attend graduate school in Colorado

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director

Towards Supporting the Analysis of Online Discussions in OSS Communities: A Speech-Act Based Approach
No full textOpen-Source Software (OSS) community members report bugs, request features or clarifications by writing messages (in unstructured natural language) to mailing lists. Analysts examine them dealing with an effort demanding and error prone task, which requires reading huge threads of emails. Automated support for retrieving relevant information and particularly for recognizing discussants’ intentions (e.g., suggesting, complaining) can support analysts, and allow them to increase the performance of this task. Online discussions are almost synchronous written conversations that can be analyzed applying computational linguistic techniques that build on the speech act theory. Our approach builds on this observation. We propose to analyze OSS mailing-list discussions in terms of the linguistic and non-linguistic acts expressed by the participants, and provide a tool-supported speech-act analysis method. In this paper we describe this method and discuss how to empirically evaluate it. We discuss the results of the first execution of an empirical study that involved 20 subjects
