  • Democratic Citizenship in the Heart of Empire Dissertation Presented In
    POLITICAL ECONOMY OF AMERICAN EDUCATION: Democratic Citizenship in the Heart of Empire Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University Thomas Michael Falk B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University Summer, 2012 Committee Members: Bryan Warnick (Chair), Phil Smith, Ann Allen Copyright by Thomas Michael Falk 2012 ABSTRACT Chief among the goals of American education is the cultivation of democratic citizens. Contrary to State catechism delivered through our schools, America was not born a democracy; rather it emerged as a republic with a distinct bias against democracy. Nonetheless we inherit a great demotic heritage. Abolition, the labor struggle, women’s suffrage, and Civil Rights, for example, struck mighty blows against the established political and economic power of the State. State political economies, whether capitalist, socialist, or communist, each express characteristics of a slave society. All feature oppression, exploitation, starvation, and destitution as constitutive elements. In order to survive in our capitalist society, the average person must sell the contents of her life in exchange for a wage. Fundamentally, I challenge the equation of State schooling with public and/or democratic education. Our schools have not historically belonged to a democratic public. Rather, they have been created, funded, and managed by an elite class wielding local, state, and federal government as its executive arms. Schools are economic institutions, serving a division of labor in the reproduction of the larger economy. Rather than the school, our workplaces are the chief educational institutions of our lives.

POLITICS AS USUAL: FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, THOMAS DEWEY AND THE WARTIME PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OF 1944 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael A.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the U.S. wartime presidential campaign of 1944. In 1944, the United States was at war with the Axis Powers of World War II, and Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, already serving an unprecedented third term as President of the United States, was seeking a fourth. Roosevelt was a very able politician and-combined with his successful performance as wartime commander-in-chief-- waged an effective, and ultimately successful, reelection campaign. Republicans, meanwhile, rallied behind New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Dewey emerged as leader of the GOP at a critical time. Since the coming of the Great Depression -for which Republicans were blamed-the party had suffered a series of political setbacks. Republicans were demoralized, and by the early 1940s, divided into two general national factions: Robert Taft conservatives and Wendell WiIlkie "liberals." Believing his party's chances of victory over the skilled and wily commander-in-chiefto be slim, Dewey nevertheless committed himself to wage a competent and centrist campaign, to hold the Republican Party together, and to transform it into a relevant alternative within the postwar New Deal political order.

  • The Art of Noise: Literature and Disturbance 1900-1940
    THE ART OF NOISE: LITERATURE AND DISTURBANCE 1900-1940 by Nora Elisabeth Lambrecht A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October, 2017 © 2017 Nora Elisabeth Lambrecht All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Art of Noise: Literature and Disturbance 1900-1940 is a study of noise’s role in prose literature in the U.S., Britain, and Ireland in the first half of the twentieth century. The Art of Noise focuses on what I call modernist noise, a way of leveraging noise— understood both as an auditory phenomenon (unwanted sound) and cybernetic interference (additional or garbled information that distorts information transmission)—to draw attention to, and in some cases to patch, a communicative or epistemological gap. I examine how authors leverage noise’s ability to confuse, to dismay, to pull a reader out of the flow of a text, and even to alienate her in order to create sticking points in their work that demand attention. In tracing noise’s disruptive qualities through modernist and modernist-era novels, I am particularly interested in how the defamiliarizing action of modernist noise coalesces around limit cases of social and political belongingness— narratives of extremity ranging from total war to economic and racial otherness. Scholarship on literary sound has tended to focus on musicality, or on the impact of sound technology on modernist culture. This focus has led to a general neglect of noise in se. The authors I consider—chief among them Mary Borden, James Joyce, Upton Sinclair, and Richard Wright—suggest that writing noise carries with it the possibility of intercourse between otherwise unbridgeable domains of experience.

  • The Reception of Upton Sinclair's Works in Hungary
    THE RECEPTION OF UPTON SINCLAIR'S WORKS IN HUNGARY LEHEL VADON 1. When Upton Sinclair achieved international literary fame at the age of 27 with his novel The Jungle, he had already become a well-known writer in his homeland. His early works were not of high quality; trashy, dime- -novels which he laboriously wrote for only an hourly wage in order to fend off his family's poverty. Of his early belletristic works the most important is Manassas: A Novel of the War (1904), a historical novel. It was the only early novel of Upton Sinclair published in Hungarian, translated by Pál Sándor and entitled Rabszolgák under the auspices of the Nova Publishing House in 1946. It created no literary stir. 2. It was The Jungle (1906) which made known the name of Upton Sin- clair in Hungary. Just one year after The Jungle was first published in Eng- lish, Károlyné Baross translated it into Hungarian, under the title A posvány published by the Pátria Corporation in 1907. This time, the attention of the reading public was directed toward this, the first Sinclair novel to be published in Hungarian, by three periodicals: Havi Könyvészet, Corvina and Az Idő.1 Károlyné Baross also wrote an introduction to The Jungle in which she described the way Sinclair collected material for the novel in Chicago. In her opinion the importance of the novel was not its literary value, or even its exposure of what the author recognised as social wrongs, so much as its "social tendency". In 1934 the Nova Literary Institute published The Jungle in a new trans- lation by Soma Braun.
