Camora 1.Pdf The Function of the Rhetoric of Maternity in the Representation of Female Sexuality, Religion, Nationality, and Race in Early Modern English Literature and Culture by Cecilia Morales A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2020 Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Schoenfeldt, Chair Dr. Neeraja Aravamudan, Edward Ginsberg Center, University of Michigan Professor Peggy McCracken Professor Catherine Sanok Professor Valerie Traub Cecilia Morales [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0001-7428-3777 © Cecilia Morales 2020 Acknowledgements Throughout my doctoral studies, I have been fortunate to have the love and support of countless individuals, to whom I owe a great deal of gratitude. I’d like to begin by thanking my committee members. Cathy and Peggy taught me valuable lessons not only about my work but about being a thoughtful and compassionate scholar and teacher. Valerie’s reminders to always be as generous as possible when discussing the work of other scholars has kept me sane and stable in this competitive world of academia. Mike helped me, a displaced Texan, to feel at home in Michigan from our first meeting, during which we chatted about both Shakespearean scholarship and Tex Mex. Finally, the most recent addition to my committee is Neeraja Aravamudan, who I consider my most active mentor and supporter. One of the best decisions I made during graduate school was accepting an internship at the Edward Ginsberg Center, where Neeraja became my supervisor. Neeraja and the other Ginsberg staff remind me it’s possible to take my work very seriously without taking myself too seriously. During my dissertation process, I was part of two writing groups, and the members of both groups constantly amazed me with their generosity and brilliance. I was introduced to Joshua Morrison, Natasha McCauley, and Cheryl Yin through the Sweetland Writing Center, which provided funding and support for our group. Being part of this interdisciplinary community inspired and shaped my work in ways I could not have predicted. The other writing group, informally known as the Ladies Dissertation Writing Group, consisted of me and five truly inspiring women from my cohort. I can’t express my admiration enough for Margo Kolenda-Mason, Kayla Grant, Dory Fox, Megan Behrend, and Sunhay You. These women make ii academia more intelligent, loving, and just, and I’m so grateful to call them my colleagues and friends. Thankfully, not all my friends are literary scholars. I couldn’t possibly list all the amazing individuals I have met in the last several years through the University of Michigan and beyond. Among other activities, my precious free time in graduate school was spent climbing with Maryam; playing board games with Caitlyn, Nick, Sara, and Emma; watching reality TV with Teresa; cooking with Lila; having dinner with the many occupants and friends of the Traver House; and hiking, drinking, and generally commiserating with Lorena. Of course, surviving graduate school also necessitates financial and material support. I’ve learned that it takes the labor of many to run a graduate program, and I owe a big “thank you” to the administrators and donors of the English Department and the Rackham Graduate School of the University of Michigan. I also received generous travel and research grants from Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS) at U of M and the South Central Renaissance Conference. I’d also like to thank the countless student volunteers and the professional staff organizers of the Graduate Employee Organization. Solidarity forever. Thank you, Joe, for always knowing how to love me: making me waffles, encouraging me, distracting me from my stressors when necessary, and helping me take care of the true hero of this story – my yellow lab Dusty. Finally, thank you to my parents and other family. Though my visits home to Texas were never as frequent as I wanted them to be, your love and riotous humor kept me grounded along the way. To my sister Amy, thank you for inspiring me to be a stronger, more diligent person and for your endless love and support. iii Table of Contents Acknowledgements ii List of Figures vi Abstract vii CHAPTER I Introduction: Defining Maternity 9 The Language of Maternity 14 The Lives of Early Modern English Mothers 20 Maternity’s History: Cycles of Salience 30 Key Themes 33 Chapter Summaries 40 (Dis)locating the Essence of (Good) Motherhood 44 CHAPTER II Lanyer’s Blessed Mother: Redeeming Maternal Pain in Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum 47 The Cultural Politics of Maternal Pain and Suffering 50 Lanyer as Working Mother 52 Maternal Affects: Building the Case for Mary 54 The Marian Affective Economy 58 Longing for the Past: Lanyer’s Historical Investment 63 Childbirth Pain: from Divine Punishment to Spiritual Redemption 68 Marian Historiography 71 Reformation Anxieties: Donne’s Turn from the Virgin Mary 75 Conclusion: Cookham as Utopia 87 CHAPTER III Mother Egypt: Rethinking English Nationalism and the Ambivalence of Shakespeare’s Cleopatra 93 The (Dis)placement of Egypt 97 Virginal Mothers 101 The Multiple Meanings of Egyptian Maternity 104 Experiencing Ambivalence in Antony and Cleopatra 108 Reproducing Nilus 114 Connected Histories 121 Desiring Egyptian Knowledge in Shakespeare 127 Maternal Inheritance and the Politics of Grief 130 Conclusion: Desiring Mother Egypt 139 CHAPTER IV The Nature of Maternity: Understanding Gender and Racial Paradigms in Aphra Behn’s Oroonoko 144 Colonial Anxieties about Enslaving Maternity 147 Maternity, Racialism, and Ecophobia 152 Foreign Ecologies and the Colonial Imagination 157 iv Sexual Exceptionalism and the Nature of “Innocence” 164 “Eternal Spring”: Imoinda’s Body and the Surinamese Ecology 171 Colonialist Interpretations of Non-European Maternity 181 Conclusion: The Nature of Empirical Science 191 CHAPTER V The Surprising Pleasure of Maternity: The Function of the Mother Figure in English Whore Dialogues 197 Defining Early Modern Erotic Writing 206 Satirizing the Mother in The School of Venus 209 Maternity and Surprise in Venus in the Cloister 218 A Dialogue between a Married Woman and a Maid: Balancing Maternal Expectations 224 Conclusion: The Pleasure of Maternity 238 CHAPTER VI CODA: Defining Maternity Today 242 Bibliography 250 v List of Figures Figure 1a (left): Cleopatra. 1b (right): Madonna with the Green Cushion.

It shows how maternity impacts (and is impacted by) English attitudes and understandings of gender, sexuality, race, nationality, religion, and the natural world across the seventeenth century. The title of the introduction, Defining Maternity, plays with the notion that maternity is both a concept that is defined by a host of historically contingent factors as well as a politically potent, malleable rhetoric that gives definition to readers’ values as they encounter a text. For example, in Salve Deus ex Judaeorum, Aemilia Lanyer invokes maternity – particularly the rhetoric of maternal pain and suffering – to buttress not only her authority as a female writer but also her unique intervention into the moment’s Protestant poetics. In Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra, the ambivalence that surrounds maternity in the early modern period structures readers’ ambivalent response to Egyptianness. Examining maternal rhetoric in Shakespeare’s play reveals the multiple strategies the early modern English deployed to elevate English nationalism by selectively incorporating and rejecting Egyptian culture. Aphra Behn’s Oroonoko uses maternal rhetoric to describe not only the human body of Imoinda but also the nonhuman plant and animal bodies of Surinam. Portraying Imoinda in parallel with these nonhuman reproducing bodies opens a critique of English exploitation of enslaved subjects and the foreign ecologies that they colonize. Finally, Maternity plays a key role in shaping readers’ erotic experience of three canonical whore dialogues – The School of Venus, Venus in the Cloister, and A Dialogues between a Married vii Woman and a Maid – highlighting the sexual knowledge and experience that is frequently erased from representations of maternity. When maternal rhetoric appears in these texts, it invokes and manipulates readers’ expectations for women’s sexual behavior, adding nuance to the paradoxical assumption that “good” mothers are asexual. Throughout the seventeenth century, maternity returns to the foreground again and again as a site within which early moderns explored a host of contemporary concerns and debates that extend beyond women’s reproductive function. Rather than attempting to ask what maternity is or what the early modern

  • The History of the Relationship Between the Concept and Treatment of People with Down's Syndrome in Britain and America from 1866 to 1967
    THE HISTORY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONCEPT AND TREATMENT OF PEOPLE WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME IN BRITAIN AND AMERICA FROM 1866 TO 1967. BY Lilian Serife ZihniB.Sc. P.G.C.E. FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1 Abstract This thesis fills a gap in the history of mental handicap by focusing on a specific mentally handicapping condition, Down's syndrome, in Britain and America. This approach has facilitated an examination of how various scientific and social developments have actually affected a particular group of people with handicaps. The first chapter considers certain historiographical problems this research has raised. The second analyses the question of why Down's syndrome, which has certain easily identifiable characteristics associated with it, was not recognised as a distinct condition until 1866 in Britain. Subsequent chapters focus on the concept and treatment of Down's syndrome by the main nineteenth and twentieth century authorities on the disorder. The third chapter concentrates on John Langdon Down's treatment of 'Mongolian idiots' at the Royal Earlswood Asylum. The fourth chapter examines Sir Arthur Mitchell's study of 'Kalmuc idiots' in private care. The fifth considers how Down's and Mitchell's theories were developed by later investigators, with particular reference to George Shuttleworth's work. Archive materials from the Royal Albert, Royal Earlswood and Royal Scottish National Institutions are used. The sixth focuses on the late nineteenth century American concept and treatment of people with Down's syndrome through an analysis of the work of Albert Wilmarth.

  • Prenatal Care
    Prenatal ar @ftffi#a\ffiffi Provided by the Maternal and Child Health Library, Georgetown University SeeThat the Birth of Your Baby Is Registered The birth of your baby should be registered promptly and properly. This is of utmost importance and should be done within 36 hours after the baby's birth. The physician, midwife, nurse, or other attendant is required in. every State to report the birth to the local registrar, who will see that the date of birth and the child's name, together with other related facts, are made matters of perhanent record. Birth registration is necessary in order to prove the date of your child's birth and his citizenship. His right to enter school, to go to work, to inherit property, to marry, to enter the armed forces, and to hold office depend upon proof of age or citizenship or both, and this proof is most readily established by means of a birth certificate. Proof of age is also necessary in order to obtain certain benefits under the Social Security Act, such as aid to dependent children and old age and survivors insurance. If there is any doubt about whether the birth of a child has been registered,an inquiry may be sent to the State board of health where the records are filed. By making sure that the birth of every child born to them is registered, parents are protecting the fundamental rights of their children. It is suggested that the parents keep a memorandum of certain facts recorded in the birth certificate: Baby's name Father's name.

  • The Performing Mother: Maternal Ethics Beyond
    THE PERFORMING MOTHER: MATERNAL ETHICS BEYOND EMBODIMENT by CHARLES HICKS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2015 Copyright © by Charles Hicks 2015 All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements I am indebted to the plethora of individuals that have made this work possible. My committee – Penelope Ingram, Tim Richardson, and Neill Matheson – has worked tirelessly in order to encourage the progress of this project at all stages. Penelope Ingram especially has fostered an environment of intellectual growth throughout and offered invaluable advice at all junctures. As a mentor she has surpassed all imaginable expectations and, as a scholar, has provided an exceptional and admirable model of academic prowess. The exigence of this project and my academic thought lies primarily in the three classes of hers that I was fortunate enough to attend and her work, Signifying Body offered me the opportunity to find my voice in a complex and challenging discourse. Peers and mentors from within the English Department at the University of Texas at Arlington have helped tremendously with the completion of this project. It would be remiss not acknowledge the tremendous guidance provided by Bruce Krajewski, whose insight and experience were invaluable. Bethany Shaffer provided not only kindness during my most stressful times, but encouragment that was essential. In addition, Peggy Kulesz’s support to not only this project, but my academic career in its entirety, cannot be quantified. There are few people that have had a more profoundly positive influence on my life.

    ‘Skewed intimacies and subcultural identities: Anne Boleyn and the expression of fealty in a social media forum’ Mickey Mayhew A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Sociology at London South Bank University Supervisors: Doctor Shaminder Takhar (Director of Studies) and Doctor Jenny Owen Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences, Department of Social Sciences & Department of Media and Cultural Studies, London South Bank University 1 Abstract The aim of this research project was the investigation of a subculture surrounding the famous Tudor queen Anne Boleyn; what that possible subculture means for those involved, and if it constituted part of a new phenomenon of female orientated online subcultures; cybersubcultures. Through the analysis of film, TV, historical literature and fiction, the research illustrates how subcultures are perpetuated through generations cyclically. The research then documents the transition from the traditional or ‘classic’ subcultural model of the 60s to the 21st century cybersubculture and fandom, suggesting a new way of thinking about subcultures in a post-subcultural age. The research suggests that the positioning of Anne Boleyn as a feminist icon/role model, based mainly on a media-mediated image, has formed a subculture which thrives on disjointed imagery and discourse in order to form a subculture of peculiarly subtle resistance. This new cybersubculture reflects the ways in which women are now able to use social media to form communities and to communicate, sharing concerns over men and marriage, all whilst percolating around the media-mediated image of Anne Boleyn as their starting point. These interactions – and the similarities they shared with the ‘classic’ subcultural style - form the data for this research project.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Postfeminist Technologies: Digital Media and the Culture Industries of Choice A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television by Jonathan Alan Cohn 2013 © Copyright by Jonathan Alan Cohn 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Postfeminist Technologies: Digital Media and the Culture Industries of Choice by Jonathan Alan Cohn Doctor in Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Kathleen McHugh, Chair In this dissertation, I argue that digital recommendation systems – a relatively recent technological innovation – fundamentally reconfigure the very notion of “self” in and for the digital era. Many popular websites, including Google, Netflix and Amazon, employ these systems to assist the user in making decisions of all types, by offering recommendations based on particular algorithms. Throughout the dissertation, I engage the ways that these recommendation systems facilitate contemporary notions of agency and identity as they are constructed through acts of choice. I examine how these systems have enabled the emergence of what I call the culture industries of choice. These industries use digital recommendation systems to lead users toward certain decisions and objects and away from others. In doing so, these automated recommendations, derived from an analysis of user data, shape the contemporary self ii through a rhetoric that equates conformity with equality and consumerism with freedom. Now a part of today’s most popular and influential websites and digital technologies, these digital recommendation systems articulate self-representation and modulation as an integral part of electronic consumption; further, they articulate new networks and conceptions of community.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.

  • The Pregnant Imagination, Fetal Rights, and Women's Bodies: a Historical Inquiry
    The Pregnant Imagination, Fetal Rights, and Women's Bodies: A Historical Inquiry Julia Epstein* Competing historical and cultural understandings of the human body make clear that medicine and the law construe bodily truths from differing knowledge bases. Jurists rely virtually entirely on medical testimony to analyze biological data, and medical profes- sionals are not usually conversant with the legal ramifications of their diagnoses. In early modern Europe, both physicians and jurists recognized that their respective professions were governed by different epistemological standards, a view articulated by F6lix Vicq d'Azyr (1748-1794), anatomist and secretary to the Royal Society of Medicine in France from 1776. Vicq d'Azyr noted that while lawyers were required to make unyielding decisions based on conflicting laws, customs, and decrees, physicians were permitted more latitude for uncertainty.' In the late twentieth century, Western medicine and law have become inextricably entwined as technologies have produced new ethical dilemmas facing medicolegal jurisprudence. The authority of women to voice and explain their experiences of pregnancy and childbirth before and during the eighteenth century contrasts powerfully with the twentieth century's reliance on medicolegal decisions to define these experiences. In early modern Europe, women controlled information, experience, and beliefs concerning reproduction, and women held authority over it. A woman only became officially and publicly pregnant when she felt her * The author would like to thank Robert Kieft, Reference Librarian at Haverford College, and the librarians at the Historical Collections of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia for research assistance.
