121	"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words:" José Guadalupe Posada and Popular Perspectives of the Porfiriato, 1876-1910 Scott, Andrea Leigh 13 May 2014 (has links) More than one hundred years after his death, José Guadalupe Posada's work continues to gain popularity and inspire artists today. Posada's prints of skulls and skeletons left their mark on Mexican popular culture. However, Posada's depictions of sensational stories, social criticism, and daily life facilitated the production of thousands of chapbook covers, corridos, board games, and broadsides. These images reveal the lives, relationships, and activities of the masses during the Porfiriato, and provide an account of a time in Mexico filled with change. An examination of Posada's works enhances our understanding of the popular classes' realities under an oppressive regime. Therefore, this thesis focuses on Posada's popular culture images to demonstrate that the popular classes participated in Porfirian efforts at modernization.
122	Ole, Ole? The Opposing Fortunes of the Liga MX and Campeonato Brasileiro, 1990-2013 Hunt, Ryan 13 May 2014 (has links) Ole, Ole?\nThe Opposing Fortunes of the Liga MX and Campeonato Brasiliero, 1990-2013\nBy Ryan Samuel Hunt, M.A., 2014\nDepartment of History and Geography\nTexas Christian University\nThesis Advisor: Susan Ramirez, Neville G. Penrose Chair of Latin American History\n \nIn the past, Brazilian Football used to be the pinnacle of the sport worldwide. People all over the globe knew of the flair and artistry of the country's abundantly talented players. The Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A was consistently rated amongst the top two or three leagues in the world up until the mid-1990's, but has encountered a period of decline that has seen it slip from its perch as its top players have moved to other leagues. In contrast, Mexico's Liga MX has been the exception to the trend of fading domestic football leagues in Latin America, ascending from an unremarkable league to consistently achieving a top-10 IFFFS ranking during the 2000's, experiencing tremendous growth in prestige, economic clout, and talent level. This study compares the two leagues across several factors: Competitive Balance, Player Migration, Stadium Maintenance, and Transfer Policy, revealing part of the reason for Liga MX's elevation.
123	"Home is Where the Maker Is": Rhetorical Genre in the Homemaking Blog Sowa, Angela Renae 13 May 2014 (has links) HOME IS WHERE THE MAKER IS: RHETORICAL GENRE IN THE HOMEMAKING BLOG\nBy Angela Sowa, Ph.D., 2014 Department of English Texas Christian University\nDissertation Advisor: Charlotte Hogg, Associate Professor of English and Writing Program Administrator\nConservative women bloggers constitute a growing force, both economically and ideologically, in the United States. However, despite their influence, they are seldom subjects of academic research, and their public writings remain largely unexamined, particularly in the field of rhetoric. Because of their cultural importance and their academic underrepresentation, conservative women bloggers are an ideal demographic for study. This project seeks to explore the intersections between these women's online writing and rhetorical genre theory, a lens that enables us to see the complex systemic and individual rhetorical choices these women make.\nBased in qualitative data drawn from 78 homemaking blogs, this study works to deepen understanding of how one particular virtual community works to uphold, reinforce, and police ideology through genre. Drawing on work from Amy Devitt, Anis Bawarshi, Anne Freadman, Michael Warner, and Dale Sullivan, among others, this project examines how, through homemaking blogs, conservative Christian women construct a virtual community, reinforce common ideologies, and police the boundaries of their community. The rhetorical choices these authors make, and the ways in which the blogs' readers reinforce or challenge such choices, create discursive spaces from which complex rhetorical and generic acts emerge. The study of such spaces enriches our understanding of women's literate lives, as well as adding to and complicating our understanding of how genres function in new media.
