This study is an examination of the contributions made by Captain Dan Jones, called the father of the Welsh Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and a pioneer to the Great Basin. Jones was one of the all-time missionary greats, instrumental in converting over 5,000 Welsh people and their introduction into the Utah pioneer society. He operated a steamboat on the Mississippi for the Mormon Church and later a commercial boat on the Great Salt Lake for Brigham Young. Jones headed a steambot expedition in opposition to an attempted kidnapping of Joseph Smith in Illinois. The last recorded prophecy of Joseph Smith at Carthage, Illinois, was related to the missionary work of Dan Jones in Wales. Jones participated in the exploration which led to the settlement of southern Utah. He helped settle three communities, being the first mayor of Manti.

acase@tulane.edu / This paper weaves together theory and research in the areas of musicology, dance studies, gender studies, art, history, science, and philosophy. The author makes the claim that a post-modern treatment of the body in the arts has political implications. The paper explains how sound-movement reciprocity reveals the body’s innate capacity to shape itself and the environment. The dissolution of constructed identities, including the ostensible categories of ‘man’ and ‘woman,’ make way for the ‘intentional body’ — a philosophy of being, in which the mind and body are indistinct from one another. Exemplifying the performative nature of identity and destabilizing normative understandings of gender, race, and nationality, Grace Jones is included as the practical application, or living representation, of this phenomenon. The culmination of the author’s research is a pedagogical book of piano études based on the theories of Rudolf Laban and Sonata 9, a multi-media, interdisciplinary dance performance, which is discussed at the end of the paper. / 1 / Sean Knapp

Take a random woman in her mid-twenties, with a crazy mother, a lousy job and no sex life, add some insecurity and a lot of alcohol and wrap her up in pink, and congratulations, you have just created your own chick lit heroine.The question is whether a chick lit heroine is this simplistic, or if she carries an important message to the readers. The most important traits in a chick lit novel are the complicated mother-daughter relationship, the career and the love life.Thus, this essay will outline to what extent the postfeminist features are depicted in theidentity of Bridget Jones, as an epitome of later chick lit heroines.
