Watching and learning from the shadows : political knowledge among DREAMEer Latinos

Tafoya, Joe Robert 22 September 2014 (has links)
The fate of undocumented youth recently overwhelmed political dialogue on immigration and its effect on those individuals remains largely unstudied. This paper extends the scope of political information analyses from potential voters to undocumented childhood arrivals. Quantitative observations come from in-depth qualitative interviews in Los Angeles County, California and the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. It finds important regional differences in the ability of immigration status to motivate cognitive engagement of politics. It questions the threat hypothesis, as highly politically knowledgeable DREAMers appear to reside in supportive environments. Such places help equip them with the ability to attribute blame and channel anger or enthusiasm. Findings suggest profound dissimilarities in the potential for political participation if and when DREAMer Latinos gain access to citizenship. / text

Understanding the Healthcare Experiences of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Recipients

Kluesener, Jacob A 01 January 2019 (has links)
Background: There is limited research on the healthcare experience of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients both before and after enrollment in the program. DACA is a program designed to defer deportation to children and young adults in the United States for up to 2 years. The goal of this qualitative study is to explore the lived experiences of DACA students with regards to access to healthcare and perceptions of treatment. Method: This study is qualitative and uses a phenomenological approach. DACA Recipients (N = 5) were recruited from the UCF student population and 1:1 interviews were conducted. Interviews were transcribed and manually coded. Results: Thematic analysis revealed the following three themes (1) Meeting Needs (2) It Takes a Village and (3) Documentation­­ Over Insurance Conclusion: The fundamental structure of the findings shows the struggles of receiving healthcare as an undocumented immigrant, and the limitations of DACA as a solution. Health insurance is a more prominent and impactful factor than documentation status in the quality and quantity of healthcare access. The healthcare experience ranges from volunteer clinics to local pharmacies. Although, if DACA recipients have insurance, their healthcare experience is more consistent, regardless of documentation. Their day to day lives is composed of meeting basic needs, receiving only necessary doctor's visits as a child, and being prepared for all circumstances in terms of future citizenship.

Draumkvedet and the Medieval English Dream Vision: A Study of Genre

Carlsen, Christian 19 December 2008 (has links)
The Medieval English dream vision evidence influences from a variety of earlier vision literature, notably the apocalyptic vision and narrative dream. Philosophical visions by Plato, Cicero and Boethius, and Christian revelations of John and Paul contain traits that found their way into the dream poems by Langland, the Pearl poet and Chaucer. The Norwegian ballad Draumkvedet exhibits features that mirror these English visions. Notable characteristics pertaining to the character of the dreamer, the interplay between dreamer and dream, imagery of the vision, and structure, point to a common set of generic influences. Comparing Draumkvedet with its English counterparts demonstrates that they stem from the same tradition. Draumkvedet bares special resemblance to the Dream of the Rood, Piers Plowman and Pearl in its exploration of Christian doctrine and its appeal to the audience.

O "sonhador" de A senhoria, de Dostoievski: um "homem supérfluo" / The “dreamer” of The landlady: the "superfluous man" of Dostoevsky

Bianchi, Maria de Fátima 20 March 2006 (has links)
A primeira parte deste trabalho é uma tradução da novela "A senhoria", de Dostoiévski, direta do texto original em russo, seguida de um estudo sobre o tipo central da novela, um “sonhador" – um típico herói romântico –, e sua revelação como um “herói de seu tempo" – um “homem supérfluo". A senhoria é uma obra que difere muito de todos os outros trabalhos de Dostoiévski. Mal recebida pela crítica de sua época, ela constitui sua primeira tentativa de caracterização de um tipo e de um tema a que ele iria se dedicar praticamente durante toda a sua carreira. E, em se tratando da literatura russa do século XIX, não há dúvida de que o que mais se sobressai é o fenômeno do herói. Com essa novela Dostoiévski apresenta, na figura do “sonhador" romântico, não só um fenômeno ainda corrente na vida russa em fins dos anos 40, mas também um novo elo na evolução do “herói do tempo". / The first part of this work is a translation of Dostoevsky’s novel The Landlady, translated from the original Russian. This is followed by a study on the central figure of the novel, a “dreamer" -- a typical romantic hero -- and its revelation as a “hero of his time" -- a “superfluous man". The Landlady differs from all of Dostoevsky’s other works. Badly received by critics when it was published, it was his first attempt to create a literary figure to whose depiction he would devote practically his entire subsequent career. There is no doubt that the most salient feature of Russian literature of the nineteenth century is the phenomenon of the hero. With this novel, Dostoevsky presents in the romantic “dreamer", not only a phenomenon still current in Russian life at the end of 1840’s, but also a new link in the evolution of the "hero of the time."

John Neal, une écriture-frontière / John Neal's Frontier-Writing

Liagre, Sebastien 04 December 2015 (has links)
Cette thèse se propose d’étudier comment, à travers sa singulière écriture, John Neal, prenant son contemporain James Fenimore Cooper pour anti-modèle, ambitionne de réformer la littérature américaine, afin de satisfaire au besoin naissant d’indépendance et de renouveau national. Dans une certaine tradition américaine, la frontière est moins une limite territoriale qu’un seuil dynamique, un locus americanus, lieu de tous les possibles. Et c’est bien en ce sens que le romancier du Maine, homme des transgressions, homme de l’entre-deux, écrit «à la frontière» : entre littérature et engagement, entre la scène et la chaire, le masculin et le féminin, l’Indien et le Blanc, sa prose hésite, souvent. Il conviendra en somme d’analyser au plus près cette fabrique alternative de littérarité qu’est l’écriture nealienne, dans l’incertitude des commencements, lorsque l’expression du «génie national» prétend s’instaurer en critère de jugement et faire table rase des modèles d’importation. / This thesis explores how, through his singular writing style, John Neal, using fellow-writer James Fenimore Cooper as an anti-model, sets out to pioneer a thorough reformation of the so-called American literature, in an attempt to satisfy the ever-increasing need for independence and national renewal. In a certain American tradition, the frontier is less a territorial boundary than a « dynamic threshold », a locus americanus where wishful thinking comes true. Thus it is that this transgressive Maine author, a man of the neutral ground, or, rather, of the middle ground, writes «at the frontier»: between literature and committed literature, between the stage and the pulpit, the masculine and the feminine, or the Indian and the white man, his prose often wavers. Hence, our focus will be on the alternative literary vision for « the great Republic of Letters », encapsulated within Neal’s own writing, shaped as it was by the uncertainties of a nation in the making. Those were the days when «national genius» had an edge on European models. Those were John Neal’s days.
