    River Voices Spring 2020 River Voices Cover Artist Statement The piece is titled “Society’s Puppet.” This piece is important to each one of us because each of us relates to a category of the LGBTQ+ and felt it was vital that we send a message to people who are both part of the community and those who are bystanders. We have all had our personal experiences and stories about coming to terms with who we are. The internal struggle we face can feel as if you are at war with yourself. We often ask the question: “Can I live this life, love myself and go into the world this way? Or, would it just be easier simply to let society treat me like a puppet, and hide behind the veil of normality?” It’s a battle that may feel never ending, even when you finally can look at yourself and say, “This is me!” The world around us is not always as accepting. But each day that you get up, you are facing the world and showing them that you cannot be turned into a “puppet” any longer. We hope that when you see this photo, you know that no matter how much you battle your inner demons, or the demons of the world around us, you can rise from the ashes and speak your truth. To help you through your story, and to express it to the world, we have created what we hope to be an artistic outlet for LGBTQ+ people every- where. We call it Studyingjupiter; it is an Instagram page where we hope to recreate stories about who you are, your journey of self-discovery, and anything else that you would like to send, through photography and special effects makeup.

  • An Introduction to BETRAYAL
    An Introduction to BETRAYAL There are times in the life of any individual or organization when they are challenged by events entirely beyond their control. One such event happened in the life of our Goodwill that challenged us to our very core. That event was the fraud committed by Carol Braun. We take pride in our corporate values and our integrity. We were exposed and vulnerable. The real mark of an organization's strength is its capacity to weather the most difficult storms. I believe that "Betrayal" is a testament to the strength and integrity of our Goodwill. It is a living testament to our capacity to learn from our hardships and mistakes. The book has found its way to every corner of America and has served to comfort and inform others who have faced similar circumstances. This book is dedicated to the men and women of Goodwill, our "People". We are stronger, more resilient and more compassionate as a result of this experience. We hope that Betrayal will, in some small way, ease any personal or professional challenges the reader may face and we stand ready to help.

  • HISTORICAL ANALYSIS – Comparing / Contrasting …Imperialists & Anti-Imperialists
    Unit 6, Period 7 Part 1 HISTORICAL ANALYSIS – Comparing / Contrasting …Imperialists & Anti-Imperialists From the 2015 Revised Framework: COMPARE & CONTRAST… 1. Compare diverse perspectives represented in primary and secondary sources in order to draw conclusions about one or more historical events. 2. Compare different historical individuals, events, developments, and/ or processes, analyzing both similarities and differences in order to draw historically valid conclusions. Comparisons can be made across different time periods, across different geographical locations, and between different historical events or developments within the same time period and/ or geographical location. From the 2015 Revised Content Outline Key Concept 7.3: Participation in a series of global conflicts propelled the United States into a position of international power while renewing domestic debates over the nation’s proper role in the world. I. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, new U.S. territorial ambitions and acquisitions in the Western Hemisphere and the Pacific accompanied heightened public debates over America’s role in the world. A) Imperialists cited economic opportunities, racial theories, competition with European empires, and the perception in the 1890s that the Western frontier was “closed” to argue that Americans were destined to expand their culture and institutions to peoples around the globe. B) Anti-imperialists cited principles of self-determination and invoked both racial theories and the U.S. foreign policy tradition of isolationism to argue that the U.S. should not extend its territory overseas. C) The American victory in the Spanish–American War led to the U.S. acquisition of island territories in the Caribbean and the Pacific, an increase in involvement in Asia, and the suppression of a nationalist movement in the Philippines.

Baptista © 2009 Gregory S. Baptista Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2009 ii The dissertation of Gregory S. Baptista was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark S. Morrisson Associate Professor of English Graduate Director Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Robin Schulze Professor of English Department Head Sandra Spanier Professor of English and Women’s Studies James L.W. West III Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English Philip Jenkins Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of the Humanities *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the presentation of the Spanish Civil War in selected American periodicals. Understanding how war-related works functioned (aesthetically and rhetorically) requires a nuanced view of the circumstances of their production and an awareness of their immediate cultural context. I consider means of creation and publication to examine the complex ways in which the goals of truth-seeking and truth-shaping interacted—and were acted upon by the institutional dynamics of periodical production. By focusing on three specific periodicals that occupied different points along a line leading outward from the mainstream of American culture, I examine the ways in which certain pro- Loyalist writers and editors attempted to shape the truth of the Spanish war for American readers within the contexts and inherent restrictions of periodical publication. I argue that responses to the war in these publications are products of a range of cultural and institutional forces that go beyond the political affiliations or ideological stances of particular writers.

    ETHICAL DESIRE: BETRAYAL IN CONTEMPORARY BRITISH FICTION A Dissertation by SOO YEON KIM Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2010 Major Subject: English ETHICAL DESIRE: BETRAYAL IN CONTEMPORARY BRITISH FICTION A Dissertation by SOO YEON KIM Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved by: Chair of Committee David McWhirter Committee Members Mary Ann O’Farrell Theodore George Elizabeth Ho Head of Department M. Jimmie Killingsworth May 2010 Major Subject: English iii ABSTRACT Ethical Desire: Betrayal in Contemporary British Fiction. (May 2010) Soo Yeon Kim, B.A., Seoul National University; M.A., Seoul National University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. David McWhirter This dissertation investigates representations of betrayal in works by Hanif Kureishi, Salman Rushdie, Irvine Welsh, and Alan Hollinghurst. In rethinking “bad” acts of betrayal as embodying an ethical desire not for the good but for “the better,” this dissertation challenges the simplistic good/bad binary as mandated by neo-imperialist, late capitalist, and heteronormative society. In doing so, my project intervenes in the current paradigm of ethical literary criticism, whose focus on the canon and the universal Good gained from it runs a risk of underwriting moral majoritarianism and judgmentalism. I argue that some contemporary narratives of betrayal open up onto a new ethic, insofar as they reveal the unethical totalization assumed in ethical literary criticism’s pursuit of the normative Good.

  • Literature's Loyalty to Betrayal
    AIC nr. 21 1/2018 Literature’s Loyalty to Betrayal ©2018 AIC DRAGOŞ AVĂDANEI Universitatea „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” din Iaşi This idiosyncratically titled paper is motivated by an attempt to answer the unexpectedly difficult question about betrayal as a fun- Keywords damental theme or motif in literature—literature in general, from the first known such work, Gilgamesh, through Greek and Roman betrayal; identity; mythology, fairy tales and folk tales, medieval romances, Dante, communication; Cervantes and Shakespeare, to Goethe, Tolstoy and Joyce, to evil; conflict; Anne Sexton and Philip Levine. Our tentative answers: betrayal cognitive may represent the fundamental human conflict, as it undermines dissonance. two of man’s essential claims to existence—identity and commu- nication; evil is more powerful than good; betrayal is a prominent form of cognitive dissonance; and all of these are “illustrated” in five betrayal poems by William Stafford, Anthony Hecht, Frank O’Hara, Anne Sexton, and Philip Levine. Betrayal seeps through literature like a dark stain… (Karin Altenberg) Altenberg’s statement is chosen as an epigraph here both because of its relevance to the topic and because “seeps” and “dark stain” are not—as our text will most likely prove—quite appro- priate. That betrayal and/or treason is part of the human condition can be sustained with another quote: “Throughout recorded human history, treachery and betrayal have been considered among the very worst offences people could commit against their kith and kin” (Julie Fitness); while the “dark stain” part may be argued for through the authority of Malcolm X/Little (Alex Haley— “the thing that is worse than death is betrayal… I could conceive of death, but I could not con- ceive of betrayal”).

Despite her commitment to "no hugging, no learning", she gains some profound insights into mass culture, adult education, friendship and postmodernity as a result. Parental guidance suggested. Prologue: The Convergence This paper has grown out of a critical incident in my own learning biography, where a convergence of two cultural events brought together several discrete elements of my personal and professional identity and led me to reflect on aspects of relationships between the mass media and adult education.
