Henry This study used the assimilation model to elaborate the continuing bonds model of mourning. According to the continuing bonds model of mourning, immigrants dealing with the loss of their native culture incorporate elements of this culture (i.e. their families, friends, identity, language, values, and traditions) into their life structure. This model suggests that immigrants need not abandon their emotional attachments to elements of their native cultures; instead, they can benefit from continuing bonds with these elements. These bonds may help them adjust to their new countries, solve problems, and provide solace. The assimilation model, which has previously been used to assess psychotherapeutic progress, was extended to describe a process through which immigrants continue their bonds with their native culture by having an internalized constellation of voices of this culture. These voices are traces of experiences and memories of this culture and are activated or triggered by the immigrant’s cultural artifacts and practices. For immigrants who have not fully assimilated the loss of their native culture, their continuing bonds can provide solace (clinging to the lost culture), or may exacerbate conflict with the host culture, or both. For immigrants who have fully assimilated the loss of native culture, the voices of this culture are linked via meaning bridges with the voices of the host culture and the continuing bonds became resources that are called upon by the immigrant when needed. Seven case studies of immigrants from Spain, Mexico, China, India, Uruguay, Iraq and Somalia illustrated the influences of an immigrant's context (i.e. external events influencing his or her life) and her/his worldview (i.e. perceptual aspects of her/his experience in response to losing the culture) on the assimilation of the lost culture and manifestations of the continuing bonds with it. Some of the interviewed immigrants showed differential assimilation of different elements of the lost culture or regression in the stages of assimilating this loss following stress. Case observations also showed influences of collectivism and individualism on the assimilation and mourning of lost culture and a possible link between mourning of lost culture and models of racial identity development and bicultural competence.

I wish to express my gratitude to my advisor, Dr. William B. Stiles, for his incredible mentorship and guidance throughout my tenure as a graduate student at Miami University and for his wonderful dedication to this research project. I would like to thank Dr. Mia Biran, my dissertation committee co-chair, for her valuable insights and contributions to the current study. I would also like to express my appreciation to my dissertation committee members Drs. Roger Knudson, Susan Mosley Howard, and Denise Fox-Barber for the tremendous expertise and knowledge they offered during the course of this research project. I wish to offer thanks to my research team members: Meredith Glick, James Mosher, and Prashant Banerjee who offered their time and talents in the analysis process of this study. I would also like to express my deep appreciation and gratitude to my research participants who shared their life experiences as immigrants and helped me reach a deeper understanding of the process of loss and mourning in immigration I would like to bow to my parents, Mr. Momtaz Henry and Mrs. Afaf Sadek, for their unwavering support and their unending love; without their strong presence in my life, I could not have succeeded in completing this project. I would also like to express my appreciation to my fiancée, Sally Ramsis, whom I met during the later stages of my study and who offered me immense compassion and support. Finally, I would like to thank my friends Jill Thomas, D’Arcy Reynolds, and Nahree Doh for encouraging and supporting me during my years as a graduate student. v Your grief for what you have lost holds a mirror up to where you have been bravely working. Expecting the worst, you look and instead, here is the joyful face you have been wanting to see. Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expand the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings. Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273) vi Loss and Mourning in Immigration: Using the Assimilation Model to Asses Continuing Bonds with Native Culture Chapter 1: Introduction The Problem Statement There were approximately 32.5 million foreign-born residents in the USA as of March 2002 (US Census Bureau, 2003). In a population of 282.1 million, the foreign-born amounted to 11.5 percent. 86% of these foreign-born immigrants arrived to the USA from Non Western countries located in Asia, Central America, Africa, The Caribbean, and South America. Immigration may create social and physical security for individuals, may enhance their personal growth, abilities, knowledge, and skills, and may lead to their financial well being (Tartakovsky & Shwartz, 2001). However, immigrants may be dealing with the painful loss of their cultures. Litjmaer (2001) argued that immigration to another land is a complex psychosocial event that involves profound loss with longstanding effects on the individual’s life. This loss may dramatically impoverish the immigrant’s social relationships and the strategies he/she may use to reach middle age goals (Yee, 1989 ). The literature covering individuals’ response to loss in general suggests

Fahs, along with Kathleen Diffley, claims that the American Civil War was very much written, even overwritten, if you look in the many long-overlooked popular periodicals of the war years. I will take Fahs's and Diffley's claims and push them farther, claiming that the Civil War was imaginatively inscribed as a written war in many of its popular poems and songs. This imagined war, or the war as imagined through its popular verse, is a war that is inscribed and circumscribed within images of bounded text and fiction making, and therefore also within issues of authorship, authority, sure knowledge, and the bonds of sentiment.

DOI: 16 The Funerals of the Prussian Kings in the Eighteenth Century ECKHART HELLMUTH The court and court ceremonial are highly popular topics for historical research at present. Peter Burke's 1992 study, The Fabrication of Louis XIV, in particular, has been a major factor in ensuring that historians look more carefully at the forms in which kingly power is represented. 1 As a result, they have become much more aware that courts presented themselves in very different ways. Thus, for example, there are considerable differences between the relatively coherent policy of image-creation such as that pursued by Louis XIV(1643-1715) or the Spanish court under Philip IV (1621-65), 2 and the loose programme of representation followed by the Viennese court at the time of Leopold I (1658- 1705), as analysed by Maria Goloubeva.

  • Queer Performativity and Grieving Through Music in the Work of Rufus Wainwright
    TRUE LOVES, DARK NIGHTS: QUEER PERFORMATIVITY AND GRIEVING THROUGH MUSIC IN THE WORK OF RUFUS WAINWRIGHT Stephanie Salerno 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 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Christian Coons Graduate Faculty Representative Kimberly Coates Katherine Meizel © 2016 Stephanie Salerno All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This dissertation studies the cultural significance of Canadian-American singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright’s (b. 1973) album All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu (Decca, 2010). Lulu was written, recorded, and toured in the years surrounding the illness and eventual death of his mother, beloved Québécoise singer/songwriter Kate McGarrigle. The album, performed as a classical song cycle, stands out amongst Wainwright’s musical catalogue as a hybrid composition that mixes classical and popular musical forms and styles. More than merely a collection of songs about death, loss, and personal suffering, Lulu is a vehicle that enabled him to grieve through music. I argue that Wainwright’s performativity, as well as the music itself, can be understood as queer, or as that which transgresses traditional or expected boundaries. In this sense, Wainwright’s artistic identity and musical trajectory resemble a rhizome, extending in multiple directions and continually expanding to create new paths and outcomes. Instances of queerness reveal themselves in the genre hybridity of the Lulu song cycle, the emotional vulnerability of Wainwright’s vocal performance, the deconstruction of gender norms in live performance, and the circulation of affect within the performance space.

  • Mourning, Memory and Imagination in the Poetry of José Kozer
    IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE MOTHER: MOURNING, MEMORY AND IMAGINATION IN THE POETRY OF José Kozer, Tamara Kamenszain, and Eduardo Espina A Dissertation by DIANE MCGAVOCK ROLNICK Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Eduardo Espina Committee Members, Hilaire Kallendorf Richard Curry Alessandra Luiselli Paul Christensen Head of Department, Irene Moyna August 2015 Major Subject: Hispanic Studies Copyright 2015 Diane McGavock Rolnick ABSTRACT While often taken as sentimental in nature, poetry about death provides poets and readers an artistic space for processing grief. The Latin American Neobaroque, a way of writing poetry know predominantly for its intellectual approach to language, has to date provided no understanding of an emotional component as a feature of its creative conception. The manner in which the formally recognized Neobaroque poets, José Kozer, Tamara Kamenszain, and Eduardo Espina avoid sentimentality in new poems written on the deaths of their parents is a question on which preliminary research shows little to no exchange of ideas. For this reason, it is suggested that these three poets create a caesura within the understanding of the discourse on the Neobaroque. In so doing, this investigation becomes essential as the first serious line of inquiry with significant intellectual value on this subject, and is advanced through the creation of a framework for anti-sentimentality in the Neobaroque. As a result of this investigation, it is ascertained that the concept of poetic areté provides a much-needed response to this and other questions regarding “how” these poets, and possible others as well, filter their emotions through the intellect, and is the foundation for this study.

  • Encountering the Significant Dead: a Narrative Inquiry Into Grief and Dreams
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey R. Schweitzer Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy __________________________________ Director Larry M. Leitner, Ph.D. ___________________________________ Reader Roger M. Knudson, Ph.D. ___________________________________ Reader Vaishali Raval, Ph.D. ___________________________________ Graduate School Representative Ann Fuehrer, Ph.D. ABSTRACT ENCOUNTERING THE SIGNIFICANT DEAD: A NARRATIVE INQUIRY INTO GRIEF AND DREAMS by Jeffrey R. Schweitzer Prominent grief theorists of the 20th century, from Freud (1917) to Worden (1982), have defined the ultimate task of grief and mourning as the relinquishment of bonds with the dead. Over the past few decades, however, numerous studies have shown that the bereaved not only experience the presence of the dead, but that they also tend to find such experiences highly meaningful and even healing. That said, very few researchers have studied the continuing presence of the dead in the context of bereavement dreams. For this narrative inquiry, then, I sought to examine dreams in which the bereaved encounter their loved ones and the significance of these dreams for the grieving process. Approaching the study from a narrative (Chase, 2005) and archetypal (Hillman, 1979) perspective, my three aims were (1) to learn about the phenomenology of imaginal encounters with the dead for the bereaved, namely through dreams, and the significance of such experiences for the grieving process; (2) to examine stories of grief and loss in terms of personal and archetypal mythology; and (3) to explore, and elaborate, theoretical and methodological intersections of narrative and archetypal psychology. More generally, I wished to evocatively represent and better understand this marginalized, yet quite common, kind of grief experience by way of a narrative methodology.
