All the place you’ve gotUnknown Date (has links)
All the Place You’ve Got is a collection of short stories inspired by and set in the author’s hometown of Warner Robins; Georgia. This is a work of fiction. Names, places, occurrences, and characters are either a product of the authors imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental. The title is a partial quote of dialogue stated by Hazel Motes, the protagonist of Flannery O’Connor’s first novel Wise Blood. The full quote reads, “In yourself right now is all the place you’ve got.” This collection of stories was built as a direct antithetical response to O’Connor’s representation of dialogic salvation and visions of the divine, a central concern, stemming from dedicated Catholic belief, of her body of work. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014.. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Unrecognized Pasts and Unforeseen Futures: Architecture and Postcolonialism in William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the FuryUnknown Date (has links)
This thesis examines the genesis, maintenance, and failure of rigid and
exclusionary societal models present in William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County. Yi-
Fu Tuan's analysis of the concepts space and place serves as the foundational theoretical
framework by which human spatiality may be interpreted. Combining Tuan's
observations and architectural analysis with Edouard Glissant's concepts of atavistic and
composite societal models allows for a much broader consideration of various political
ideologies present in the South. Following this, it becomes necessary to apply a postcolonial lens to areas of Faulkner's literature to examine how these societal models
are upheld and the effects they have on characters in both Reconstruction and post-
Reconstruction eras. Within Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury, Faulkner
showcases an aspect of southern history that allowed this societal model to flourish, how
this model affected those trapped within it, and its ultimate failure for future generations. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

From Slaves to Subjects: Forging Freedom in the Canadian Legal SystemUnknown Date (has links)
This thesis clarifies recent debates on the problems of territorialized freedom in
the Atlantic world by examining several extradition cases involving runaway slaves in
Canada, where southern slaveholders attempted to retrieve their lost property by
relabeling fugitive slaves as fugitive criminals. In order to combat these efforts and
receive the full protections of British subjecthood, self-emancipated people realized that
they needed to prove themselves worthy of this status. To achieve this, black refugees
formulated their own language of subjecthood predicated upon economic productivity,
social respectability, and political loyalty. By actively working to incorporate themselves
into the British Empire, Afro-Canadians redefined subjecthood from a status largely seen
as a passively received birthright to a deliberate choice. Therefore, this thesis
demonstrates that ways in which formerly enslaved people laid out their own terms for imperial inclusion and defined the contours of black social and legal belonging in a
partially free Atlantic world. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
