Tipografika ir muzika: sujungus šias dvi sritis gimė tipografinis projektas „Aerofont”. „Aerofont” - tai erdvinės muzikinės raidės, kurias galima perskaityti, išgirsti ir jomis pagroti. Erdvinių muzikos raidžių funkcionalumas imituoja „aerofonų” (pučiamųjų) instrumentų šeimos sintezatoriaus veikimo principą, nes jomis galima perduoti intertekstinio pobūdžio žinutes. Šiomis raidėmis yra siekiama perteikti estetinę muzikos žinutę be paties autoriaus/atlikėjo, kitaip tariant, kiekvienas, naudodamasis „Aerofont” raidėmis, tampa atlikėju, nes tiek raidžių naudojimas, tiek ir garso skleidimas sukuria sąryšį tarp subjekto ir objekto arba leidžia perteikti ir sintezuoti estetinius bei kultūrinius potyrius. / Typography and music: by connecting these two fields, a typographic project „Aerofont” was born. „Aerofont” is a set of spatial musical letters, which one can read, hear and play. The function of these spatial letters imitates the principles of a synthesizer from an aerofone (wind) instrument family, because it is possible to send out inter-textual messages by using them. The purpose of the letters is to convey the aesthetical message of music without the author/performer. In other words, everyone becomes a musician using the „Aerofont” letters, because the usage of letters and broadcast of sound creates cohesion between the subject and the object and allows the aesthetical and cultural experience to be conveyed and synthesized.

Studies on letters to the editor examine many areas, including function of the letters column. Much agenda-setting research focuses on media influence, though the principles have been applied to many fieldsThis content analysis combined the two areas in an effort to measure how letters to the editor might reflect the agenda set by a newspaper.The study evaluated all letters and news stories that appeared in The Truth during June, July, and August 2004. Items were sorted into content categories, regions of coverage, and page position to see if a relationship existed between stories and subsequent letters.The findings suggest that readers respond strongly to an agenda of local news and are more likely to write about front-page stories. Furthermore, the strong response of letter writers to other letters led the author to conclude that letters themselves can play a role in the agenda-setting process. / Department of Journalism

The utopian picture of America presented in the first two-thirds of St. John de Crevecoeur's Letters from an American Farmer (1782) contrasts sharply with the description of southern slavery and the effects of the American Revolution given in the final third of the book. Critics of Letters often account for this change in tone by attributing the utopian vision to the narrator, James. In this view, the progression of the book results either from James's disillusionment at the failure of his utopian hopes, or from a process of education whereby he alters that vision or unrealistically reaffirms it. However, evidence in the text suggests that James used a utopian vision supplied by his minister as a contrast to his own more realistic vision in order to educate his European correspondent. James provides examples that illustrate the elements of his utopian vision and the threats to it. Letters thus reveals a narrator who is neither naive nor unrealistic. / Department of English

This dissertation demonstrates that the voices of children and the experiences of childhood provide important new perspectives about the settler societies in British Columbia and Alberta during the period 1860 – 1925. It employs a combination of direct quotations from individual children and analysis across the cohort of one hundred historical children as a means to explore both individual personalities and shared child perspectives of childhood. Child-created diaries and correspondence were selected as the principal documentation in this study as a deliberate strategy to privilege children and to enable clear child-centred voices unmixed with those of adults. The intent is to reveal child-centred understandings about the physical and emotional aspects of growing up in Western Canada that are set within the contexts of specific communities, of family life, of sibling relationships, of friendships and separations. Some significant findings include the phenomenon of boarding school within the childhood experience and the realization that many settler children spent childhoods away from family, the difficulty boys shared in achieving masculinity, and the importance placed by girls and boys on charting and comparing their physical growth and attainment of child-centred milestones of achievement. / Graduate
