University of Virginia May, 2014 !i ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! © Copyright by Noah Dylan Goldblatt All Rights Reserved May 2014 ! !ii Abstract ! This dissertation analyzes literary jurisprudence in Gottfried’s Tristan and explicates the poem as an exemplar of Grimm’s theory of medieval law-poetry. This study examines how Gottfried dramatizes the institutions and practices of law, such as feudal tenure, judicial combat, and evidentiary debate. Chapter One traces the history of Gottfried’s Tristan as an object of study for law-in-literature research. The chapter also analyzes the poet’s relationship to and distinction from the Arthurian tradition. Chapter Two investigates legal discourse relating to the intersection of geography and authority in the poem. The chapter explicates scenes related to property transmission and contractual obligations. Chapter Three examines the juridical language and logical structures of judicial duels in the cases of Morgan and Morold. Chapter Four discusses the scrutiny of direct and indirect evidence in three scenes: The Seneschal and the Dragon Tongue, Isolde and the Sword Splinter, and the Flour on the Floor. The fourth chapter also elucidates the manner in which Tristan and Isolde rhetorically manipulate the presentation of evidence in order to deceive King Mark and his surrogates, Marjodoc and Melot.

Origins of the Witch Hunts Abstract The first true witch hunts began in western Europe in the early fifteenth century. The ae rliest series of trials took place in Italy and in French- and German-speaking regions around the western Alps. Of course, concern about harmful sorcery had deep roots in medieval Europe, and both officially sanctioned prosecution and popular persecution had been brought to bear on its supposed practitioners long before. But only in the fifteenth century did the full stereotype of diabolical witchcraft develop, which would endure throughout the period of the major witch hunts in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

  • Baptisms of Fire: How Training, Equipment, and Ideas About the Nation Shaped the British, French, and German Soldiers' Experiences of War in 1914
    BAPTISMS OF FIRE: HOW TRAINING, EQUIPMENT, AND IDEAS ABOUT THE NATION SHAPED THE BRITISH, FRENCH, AND GERMAN SOLDIERS' EXPERIENCES OF WAR IN 1914 Chad R. Gaudet 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 2009 Committee: Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Dr. Nathan Richardson Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Stephen G. Fritz Dr. Beth A. Griech-Polelle ii ABSTRACT Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Training, equipment, and ideas about the nation shaped the British, French, and German soldiers’ experiences of war in 1914. Though current scholarship contained works that examined each of those topics separately or in combination, little research investigated the connection in a comparative model from the perspective of the soldiers. This work analyzed the British, French, and German soldiers of World War I during the initial phase (August--November 1914). This critical period of the war proved an excellent way to test these ideas. The project relied heavily on combatants’ personal accounts, which included archival sources. The troopers experience with initial combat served as a test. How those soldiers reacted suggested the connections with training, equipment, and ideas about the nation. The results supported the theory that the professionalism of the British soldier and the French soldier’s devotion to nation and comrade outweighed the German Army’s reliance on both equipment and the doctrine of winning at all costs. Nationalism, equipment, and training influenced soldiery. German equipment provided an edge, but it was not enough. Not only did nationalist sentiment among soldiers exist at the beginning of World War I, three different conceptions of nationalism were present.

  • Hitchcock: Past and Future Presents a Selection of the Academic Papers Presented at the Conference
    HITCHCOCK This new collection of writings on Alfred Hitchcock celebrates the remarkable depth and scope of his artistic achievement in film. It explores his works in relationship both to their social context and to the traditions of critical theory they continue to inspire. The collection draws on the best of current Hitchcock scholarship. It features the work of both new and established scholars such as Laura Mulvey, Slavoj ¿iÀek, Peter Wollen and James Naremore, and displays the full diversity of critical methods that have characterized the study of this director’s films in recent years. The articles are grouped into four thematic sections: “Authorship and aesthetics” examines Hitchcock as auteur and explores particular aspects of his artistry such as his use of the close-up, the motif of the double, and the neglected topic of humor. “French Hitchcock” considers the influential reception of the filmmaker’s work by the critics at Cahiers du cinéma in the 1950s, as well as the more recent engagement with Hitchcock by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. “Poetics and poli- tics of identity” investigates how personal and social identity is both articulated and subverted through style and form in Hitchcock’s works. The concluding section, “Death and transfigura- tion,” addresses the manner in which the spectacle and figuration of death haunts the narrative universe of Hitchcock’s films, in particular his subversive masterpiece, Psycho. Richard Allen is author of Projecting Illusion (1995). He has edited numerous books on the philosophy and aesthetics of film including Hitchcock: Centenary Essays (1999) with Sam Ishii- Gonzáles. He is also author of a forthcoming book on Hitchcock entitled Hitchcock and Cinema: Storytelling, Sexuality and Style.
