Portier The Poetics of Loss: A Theological Reading of Selected Works of Matthew Arnold is one Catholic theologian’s attempt to make sense of the mysterious, and possibly troubling, claim that Arnold is “a serious theological thinker.”1 If the author finds this claim mysterious, it is not least because Arnold’s poetry engages and relies on a ‘poetics of loss,’ which the author defines as Arnold’s felt sense of isolation, disintegration, and hopelessness as he observes the Sea of Faith retreating.2 Despite what must be to the Catholic theologian Arnold’s troubling and troubled existential, religious, and socio- historical commitments, however, the author argues that Arnold’s poetry is precisely where Arnold is most theologically significant, relevant, and compelling.

  • Dispelling the Arguments Surrounding Canadian Television Programming: an Analysis of Food Network Canada
    Name: Marie Romeo Student Number: 0657130 Supervisor: Dr. Christine Quail Dispelling the Arguments Surrounding Canadian Television Programming: An Analysis oF Food Network Canada Since 1963, when Julia Child was first introduced to television viewers, the concept of food television, programming that surrounds the topic of food and cooking, has increased in popularity. By 1993 an entire channel devoted to food was created, the Food Network. Today, nearly two decades later, the popularity of food programming has only grown, with the Food Network being distributed to more than 96 million U.S. households and averaging more than seven million Web site users monthly (Food Network 2011). “As part of wider trends towards lifestyle programming, ‘reality’ TV and factual entertainment, food programming now takes up more time on our television screens than ever before… occupying prime-time slots in broadcast scheduling, and becoming winners in the ratings game” (de Solier 465). What is most interesting to note about the rise of food television is how they showcase information specific to a particular national identity, being able to speak to a nation’s ideologies around gender, class, worth, ethnicity, race and religion, as food is intrinsic with identity and pride (de Solier 468, Bonnessen, Jacobs 2009). Studies of the role of food in fostering nationalism are quiet established, with cases dating back as early as 1822, when Baron Karl Friedrich von Rumohr of Germany wrote a book “encouraging the German housewife to observe the virtues of simple, traditional German food in order to promote a German identity” (Jacobs 2009). The 1 idea of food representing a national identity through television has recently been noted in Australia.

  • On the Origins, Nature and Influence of the Buried Life of Matthew Arnold: the Buried Life in Literature, 1750-1950
    On the Origins, Nature and Influence of the Buried Life of Matthew Arnold: The Buried Life in Literature, 1750-1950 Anthony Hunt BA, Dip.Ed., MA This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia, School of Social and Cultural Studies, 2010. There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same. He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate. What Plato has thought he may think; what a saint has felt he may feel; what at any time has befallen any man, he can understand. Who hath access to this universal mind is a party to all that is or can be done, for this is the only and sovereign agent. [Emerson, 1889, p.1] ___________________________________________________________ Abstract In this thesis an attempt is made to link together, or find common ground between, a few seemingly disparate things. Firstly, an attempt is made to link some of the critical interests or obsessions of the twentieth-century English poet and critic, Ted Hughes, to those of the twentieth- century American memoirist and critic, Paul Fussell. In particular, an attempt is made to find a link between Hughes’ work on writers such as William Shakespeare, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, T.S. Eliot, Wilfred Owen and Keith Douglas, and Fussell’s work on writers such as T.S. Eliot, Wilfred Owen, Keith Douglas and Robert Byron. Secondly, an attempt is made to link together, or find common ground between, the works of the nineteenth-century English poet and critic, Matthew Arnold, and those of the twentieth-century American poet and critic, T.S.
