AMERICAN FEMINISM: THE CAMERA WORK OF ALICE AUSTEN, ALFRED STIEGLITZ, AND BERENICE ABBOTTBellettiere, Giovanna Marie January 2019 (has links)
This thesis explores the work of photographers: Alice Austen, Alfred Stieglitz, and Berenice Abbott in relation to the American landscape of New York from approximately 1880 through 1940. Although the artwork of Georgia O’Keeffe is not addressed specifically, her role as an artist communicating her modern self image through Stieglitz’s photography is one area of focus in the second chapter. Previous scholarship has drawn parallels between women artists and photographers solely in terms related to their gender identity. In contrast, my project identifies a common theoretical thread that links the work of these artists: namely, that photography allowed professional women of this time to react and rise above the constrictions of gender expectations, and moreover, how their own attitudes based in feminist sensibility enabled them to fashion and broadcast bold, liberated self-images. Inspired by the radical transformations of women’s social roles in the United States, each artist produced photographs that represented the evolving role of women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Using visual analysis and historical context associated with the “New Woman” movement, I argue that each artist discussed in this thesis not only challenges the domestic sphere conventionally assigned to women photographers, but also makes new strides by engaging in work that allows for them to autonomously travel within their own territories or new expansive locations. This thesis gives fresh insight as to how photography provided novel opportunities for elevating women’s place in society, as well as in the artistic realm. Overall, photography was an important tool for each artist as these three women act as agents of change by demonstrating a control of womanhood while the role of a female was beginning to become less constrained by the domestic and social norms of society. / Art History

"When you go mad ... somebody else comes in": The Archival Hysteric in Twentieth-Century Literature Set in Nineteenth-Century OntarioRaymond, Katrine 01 1900 (has links)
This project reconsiders nineteenth-century hysteria and recovery in selected works of
1990s historiographical Canadian fiction. Using a material feminist perspective, I develop
an understanding of the "archival hysteric": a figure whose permeable mindbody reacts in
eccentric ways to her environment. The material mindbody becomes a physiological
archive of intersubjective interactions, social expectations, and past traumas. Expanding
the concept of the archive to include the human subject, the family home, and the
landscape, the fictions provide models for personal and social change. Chapter One explores the eccentric nature of the female body as viewed in nineteenth-century
documents and in Alice Munro's "Meneseteung." This chapter focuses its
analysis on the hysteric's eccentric mindbody as the site of partial recovery. I propose that
moving from hysteria to sanity involves a transformation to health of the mindbody that
can occur through the ethical relationship and an acknowledgement of the permeable
nature of intersubjective boundaries. The nineteenth-century concept of female flow is
replaced by a model of viscous porosity. Chapter Two explores how the archive functions as a metaphor for hysterical subjectivity. Following Kelly Oliver's theory of witnessing, I show how the act of shared witnessing reveals the permeable boundaries between researcher and research subject. Margaret
Atwood's Alias Grace provides a case study of an archival hysteric that illustrates the
ways in which shared witnessing can lead to both illness (reactivity) and health (response-ability). Chapter Three explores Away, in which Jane Urquhart mobilizes the figure of the love-mad hysteric in postcolonial and environmental contexts. The archival hysteric here
represents permeability not only between human subjects, but also between human and
non-human subjects. The archival hysteric illustrates human subjects' unfixed positions in
the world: relying upon the binary of mental health and illness, diagnostic labels therefore
misrepresent the complexity of states of being. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Sir Walter Ralegh's verse conversationsGreer, Janice 11 May 2009 (has links)
Sir Walter Raleigh's poems, as tghey circulated in manuscripts, are influenced by Raleigh's position at court, his social situation, the patronage system, and the political scene. Even though many scholars believe that often verses were copied groups according to theme, careful consideration shows that verses that have been tradionally seen as related by theme have a stronger connection. The context of the peom can reveal a great deal about the intention of the author and the situation about which the author wrote. / Master of Arts

Elementary Principals' Perceptions of 21st Century Skills in Southeastern VirginiaMcintyre-Odoms, Brenda Elizabeth 17 April 2015 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of elementary school principals in Southeastern Virginia regarding implementation of 21st century skills. The Partnership for 21st Century Learning Skills framework was used as a foundation to identify the skills needed for the 21st century. In addition, the framework was used to examine elementary principal's perceptions of the most important and relevant 21st century skills to implement in elementary schools.
A mixed method study of elementary school principals in Southeastern Virginia Public Schools was conducted. Principals from school divisions in Southeastern Virginia were identified and asked to complete a survey. An online research survey was distributed to Virginia principals to determine their perceptions of implementing 21st century skills in elementary schools in Virginia. This study revealed that elementary principals perceived 21st century skills as being "very important" and "very relevant" in elementary schools; however, the rate of embeddedness into the elementary curriculum was low. This study yielded valuable information regarding the perception of school leaders that might influence research, theory, practice and professional development of elementary school principals as we move further into the 21st century and its associated challenges and demands. / Ed.
