As yet uncertain: a portrait in processionHelmers, Thomas Richard 01 May 2016 (has links)
As Yet Uncertain: A Portrait in Procession is an installation of prints featuring a combination of image and text. Drawing inspiration from various depictions of the grotesque in art and literature, the project examines the grotesque form, both in body and mind. As Yet Uncertain: A Portrait in Procession observes how the grotesque—a body that is always in the act of becoming—relates to uncertainties and ambivalence in identity and humanity.

You Asked About Insects: Development of a Resource Book for Primary and Junior Grades / You Asked About Insects: Development of a Resource BookPickles, Margaret 08 1900 (has links)
My experience as a presenter of science workshops to elementary school students and teachers led me to believe that there was a need for a resource book that answered the students questions about insects. My studies of curriculum development and in particular transformational education reinforced my philosophy that the students should have answers to the question that are important to them. My project was to produce and evaluate such a document that would be valuable to students and teachers. Elementary school children were surveyed to gather questions for the book. These questions were compiled, culled. categorized and answered to produce the resource book titled You Asked About Insects. After a pilot of the evaluation, copies of the book along with evaluation questionnaires for teachers for teachers and students were distributed to schools. Response to the student questionnaires was not adequate to draw conclusions. To gather more data, I travelled to a school and worked with the students to evaluate the book. My data shows that the book was well received by the students and the teachers. Teachers generally found it a good resource that had many answers and much information. It included information for which they previously would have had to refer to many different sources. Students were able to find the answers to the questions that they had about insects. They liked the format and were able to use the table of contents and the index to look up the answers to the questions they had. / Thesis / Master of Science (Teaching)

What must the 'judge of all the earth' do exactly? : a critique through praxis of the canonical approach of Brevard S. ChildsLyons, William John January 1999 (has links)
The aim of this work is to attempt to read the text of Genesis 18-19 in line with the canonical approach of Brevard S Childs in order to critique his programme through its actual praxis. In chapter 1 a historical introduction to the discipline of 'biblical theology' and its texts provides a background against which to contextualise Childs's own work and its historical development. A detailed description of the approach in terms of its historical justification and its actual praxis appears in chapter 2. There certain common criticisms are encountered and refuted. It is also suggested that Childs's approach is often the target of unwarranted criticism based upon an assumed foundationalist view of hermeneutics. In chapter 3, this is developed further and it is argued that the non-foundationalist hermeneutics of Stanley E. Fish provide a heuristically powerful way of understanding the canonical approach and its 'community of faith'. Two aspects of the praxis of the canonical approach form the core of chapter 4: the necessary role of narrative presuppositions and the potential role of diachronic studies of biblical texts. A description of presuppositions necessary for understanding Genesis 18-19 are drawn from Genesis 1-17 and outlined, and the diachronic studies of H. Gunkel is used as an exemplar to test the illumination which diachronic studies may provide to readers of the canonical text. In chapters 5 and 6, a detailed exegesis is provided of the canonical text of Genesis 18 and Genesis 19. A short section on the effects of this exegesis on subsequent Old Testament texts completes chapter 6. In conclusion, the experience of reading the texts in this way is used to point out certain aspects and implications of the canonical approach which are missed when the approach is considered in purely theoretical terms.

William Pickering (1796-1854), antiquarian bookseller, publisher and book designer : A study in the early nineteenth century book tradeMcDonnell, J. M. January 1983 (has links)
WILLIAM PICKERING, (1796-1854), ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLER., PUBLISHER, AND BOOK DESIGNER: A STUDY IN THE EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY BOOK-TRADE. By James M. McDonnell This study is the first systematic and detailed examination of the life and career of William Pickering. Pickering was chosen as a subject because he can be regarded as a transitional figure. In a period when the specialist publisher was coming to the fore, and bookselling and publishing were tending to become quite separate occupations, Pickering's combination of rare-book dealing and publishing was a continuation of eighteenth century practices into the 1850s. On the other hand Pickering's invention of cloth binding for books, his creation of a personal publishing style, his achievements as a book designer, and his involvement with the movement to lower book prices, are all innovatory traits. The study argues that Pickering's conservative and innovatory tendencies can best be understood as a response to particular social and economic conditions. It investigates Pickering's perception of and relation to his public, his authors, and his printer (Charles Whittingham the Younger) and financial backer (John Joseph Thornthwaite). It also examines Pickering's awareness of the financial and economic conditions which constrained his business. The argument is based upon an extensive and thorough study of Pickering Is extant correspondence, and upon those papers relating to his business which have been preserved. The most important primary source has been the printing ledgers of the Chiswick Press.
