Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation
RENAISSANCE RECEPTIONS OF OVID’S TRISTIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gabriel Fuchs, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Frank T. Coulson, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Tom Hawkins Copyright by Gabriel Fuchs 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines two facets of the reception of Ovid’s Tristia in the 16th century: its commentary tradition and its adaptation by Latin poets. It lays the groundwork for a more comprehensive study of the Renaissance reception of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary in 16th-century Europe. After a brief introduction, the second chapter introduces the three major commentaries on the Tristia printed in the Renaissance: those of Bartolomaeus Merula (published 1499, Venice), Veit Amerbach (1549, Basel), and Hecules Ciofanus (1581, Antwerp) and analyzes their various contexts, styles, and approaches to the text. The third chapter shows the commentators at work, presenting a more focused look at how these commentators apply their differing methods to the same selection of the Tristia, namely Book 2. These two chapters combine to demonstrate how commentary on the Tristia developed over the course of the 16th century: it begins from an encyclopedic approach, becomes focused on rhetoric, and is later aimed at textual criticism, presenting a trajectory that ii becomes increasingly focused and philological.

For those of us who grew up in the Disney era, we have been trained to watch out for good and evil, with the belief that the heroes will come to save us. Despite anything that happens, we always know that the heroes will always win, and the villain will fail. However, a story does not seem to be complete without the villains. If the heroes do not have any villain to fight, then how do we define their acts as being heroic? Villains provide a conflict that intrigues the audience as well as readers because it gives the heroes conflict and something to look forward to. Without the conflict of the villains, there will be not much to the backstory of the heroes. Therefore, villains are a great addition to the success of a piece of work.

The Seldom Sung Heroes
Seldom Sung Heroes By Olympic Champion Ben Peterson #54 As a season progresses for most any sport, team leaders begin emerging. When the accolades are handed out the leaders are recognized and indeed they should be. After all, they illustrate and symbolize for us the best of our striving and achievements. However, there are some who may not set records and be consistent winners. Others may far out-do them in the record book. But in our minds, if we are honest, there are others that should be recognized and honored because they also exhibit the best of our strivings. Please enjoy 3 of my “Seldom Sung” memories. 1) I had been coaching for a half-dozen years or so at a small college here in Wisconsin called Maranatha Baptist Bible College. The college had between 500 and 700 students. We had some very good, hard working wrestlers and I felt we could prepare them to compete with the very best on a college level. But without scholarships I had little thought that we could gather a team to beat a D1 team. We set our schedule accordingly. Almost every dual would stretch us and I picked some tournaments where all could compete and a couple that would stretch our very best wrestlers. In the mid 1980’s we had strong team balance. Several wrestlers were talented but not necessarily driven in wrestling. They had many other goals as well, but they did like to wrestle. The next thing I know we are winning each dual. The toughest dual for us was Loras College.

More recently, the superhero narrative has moved from cinema to television, which allows for the narratives to address more pressing cultural concerns in a more immediate fashion. Furthermore, millions of viewers perpetuate the televised narratives because they resonate with the values and stories in the shows. Through Fantasy Theme Analysis, this project examines the audience values within the Arrow’s superhero fantasy and the influence of posthumanism on the show’s superhero fantasy.

Authenticity and Vulnerability by Pacing and Baby Steps
maybe he just needs you to be Kynda.” How disappointing! This answer pacified me, however, and I moved out of the superhero developmental phase and on to another one. A few years ago I was telling a friend about my Wonder Woman experience and she told another friend and the two of them purchased a Wonder Woman keychain for me. When they were presenting me with the keychain, my friend said, “We think you are Wonder Woman!” At that moment, I felt an electrical zing move from the top of my head down to my feet and I felt this impression on my heart and mind, “You got to be her. You got to be Wonder Woman.” My immediate reaction to this impression was, “No I haven’t! I haven’t saved anyone from a burning building or stopped a speeding train!” As I continued to process the impression I received, however, I began to realize what heroes really do… they help people. Authenticity and Consider whom you admire and why.

From Pulp Hero to Superhero: Culture, Race, and Identity in American Popular Culture, 1900-1940 Adventure characters in the pulp magazines and comic books of the early twentieth century reflected development in the ongoing American fascination with heroic figures. 1 As the United States declared the frontier closed, established icons such as the cowboy became disconnected from everyday American experience and were supplanted by new popular adventure fantasies with heroes whose adventures stylized the struggle of the American everyman with a modern industrialized, heterogeneous world. The challenges posed by an urbanizing society to traditional masculinity, threatened to a weaken men’s physical and mental form and to disrupt the United States’ vigorous transformation from uncivilized frontier to modern society.2 Many middle-class social commentators embraced modern industrialization while warning against “sexless” reformers who sought to constrain modern society’s excesses through regulations design to prevent social exploitation, environmental spoilage, and urban disorder.

The Hero and Villain Binary in the Western Film Genre

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The Hero and Villain Binary in the Western Film Genre A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Masters of Arts In Media Studies At Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Christine Maria Cook 2012 i Abstract The Western hero has been an established film icon since the early 1900s and the particular brand of masculinity he embodies has represented a set of values and beliefs around what it means to be a man in American society. These resonated into other countries such as New Zealand where this representation also became an accepted view of manhood. Based on a colonialist ideology, the cowboy hero’s original role in the frontier of the Hollywood Western was to protect the new settlers and to remove any barriers to their settlement. The first of these was the Native American who was presented as an uncivilised savage to justify conquest. Conflicts such as these created the use of binary oppositions that became an established part of the Western narrative as they provided a contrast between civilisation and wilderness, and good and evil. These oppositions could also take the form of a villain or ideological perspective that didn’t fit the ethos of the frontier life the hero was protecting. Throughout its history, there have been many adaptations and changes made to Western film genre to keep its relevance but the white male figure of the hero has remained a constant presence.

Superheroes & Stereotypes: a Critical Analysis of Race, Gender, And
SUPERHEROES & STEREOTYPES: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF RACE, GENDER, AND SOCIAL ISSUES WITHIN COMIC BOOK MATERIAL Gabriel Arnoldo Cruz 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 December 2018 Committee: Alberto González, Advisor Eric Worch Graduate Faculty Representative Joshua Atkinson Frederick Busselle Christina Knopf © 2018 Gabriel Arnoldo Cruz All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Alberto González, Advisor The popularity of modern comic books has fluctuated since their creation and mass production in the early 20th century, experiencing periods of growth as well as decline. While commercial success is not always consistent from one decade to the next it is clear that the medium has been and will continue to be a cultural staple in the society of the United States. I have selected this type of popular culture for analysis precisely because of the longevity of the medium and the recent commercial success of film and television adaptations of comic book material. In this project I apply a Critical lens to selected comic book materials and apply Critical theories related to race, class, and gender in order to understand how the materials function as vehicles for ideological messages. For the project I selected five Marvel comic book characters and examined materials featuring those characters in the form of comic books, film, and television adaptations. The selected characters are Steve Rogers/Captain America, Luke Cage, Miles Morales/Spider-Man, Jean Grey, and Raven Darkholme/Mystique. Methodologically I interrogated the selected texts through the application of visual and narrative rhetorical criticism.
