  • Definers and Defined a Study of the Portrayal of Black Masculinity in the Characters and Communities in Toni Morrison’S Beloved and Paradise
    Fakultet for humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og lærerutdanning Definers and Defined A study of the portrayal of black masculinity in the characters and communities in Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Paradise Marita Hansen ENG-3992 Master’s thesis in English Literature June 2020 Definers and Defined A study of the characters and communities in relation to the portrayal of black masculinity in Toni Morrison's Beloved and Paradise i Abstract This thesis utilises the novels Beloved and Paradise by Toni Morrison with the purpose of examining her portrayal of black masculinity within a historical and social context, particularly in view of how and when race is complicated by gender and vice versa. It utilises a close reading of both individual characters and the communities that surround them based on Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity and Critical Race Theory – with a focus on individual gender performativity in relation to shifting ideas of masculinity within and outside African American communities, and issues such as institutional or systemic racism when examining the different communities. Given the span of history in which the novels are set, I give brief summaries on the issues of slavery, slave narratives and the civil rights movement. Finally, a brief comparison of characters, communities and their issues, looking at similarities across the novels. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Laura Castor for all her help with this thesis, as well as my family for supporting me, and my friends – Siri Nilsen in particular – for keeping me somewhat sane over the last year. iii Contents Definers and Defined .............................................................................................................

  • The Project That Follows Explores the Impact That a Men's Ministry Has In
    ABSTRACT MEN’S MINISTRY: A STUDY OF LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN CHURCHES OF THE OKLAHOMA CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH by Travis Todd Muse This project explored the impact a men’s ministry has in cultivating effective male leadership within a church. The research developed a basic understanding of the importance of a ministry specifically targeting men, the difficulties churches face in reaching men, and the basic components of a men’s ministry that shape men into godly leaders. The research utilized two researcher-developed instruments to ascertain the current state of male leadership in connection to a men’s ministry within selected local churches of the Oklahoma Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. The data gathered helped to clarify the connection between the studied churches’ current leaders and the effectiveness of those churches’ men’s ministry to instill characteristics that developed the men as leaders for the church. DISSERTATION APPROVAL This is to certify that the dissertation entitled MEN’S MINISTRY: A STUDY OF LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN CHURCHES OF THE OKLAHOMA CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH presented by Travis Todd Muse has been accepted towards fulfillment of the requirements for the DOCTOR OF MINISTRY degree at Asbury Theological Seminary May 1, 2009 Mentor Date May 1, 2009 Internal Reader Date May 1, 2009 Representative, Doctor of Ministry Program Date May 1, 2009 Executive Director Date MEN’S MINISTRY: A STUDY OF LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN CHURCHES OF THE OKLAHOMA CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Asbury Theological Seminary In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Ministry by Travis Todd Muse May 2009 © 2009 Travis Todd Muse ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES...........................................................................................................

  • CHAPTER 1: an INTRODUCTION to GENDER Sex and Gender
    1 From Eckert, Penelope and McConnell- Ginet, Sally. (To appear). Language and Gender. Second Edition. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press. CHAPTER 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO GENDER We are surrounded by gender lore from the time we are very small. It is ever-present in conversation, humor, and conflict, and it is called upon to explain everything from driving styles to food preferences. Gender is embedded so thoroughly in our institutions, our actions, our beliefs, and our desires, that it appears to us to be completely natural. The world swarms with ideas about gender – and these ideas are so commonplace that we take it for granted that they are true, accepting common adage as scientific fact. As scholars and researchers, though, it is our job to look beyond what appears to be common sense to find not simply what truth might be behind it, but how it came to be common sense. It is precisely because gender seems natural, and beliefs about gender seem to be obvious truths, that we need to step back and examine gender from a new perspective. Doing this requires that we suspend what we are used to and what feels comfortable, and question some of our most fundamental beliefs. This is not easy, for gender is so central to our understanding of ourselves and of the world that it is difficult to pull back and examine it from new perspectives.1 But it is precisely the fact that gender seems self-evident that makes the study of gender interesting. It brings the challenge to uncover the process of construction that creates what we have so long thought of as natural and inexorable – to study gender not as given, but as an accomplishment; not simply as cause, but as effect; and not just as individual, but as social.

  • Behold! Human Beings Living in a Sort
    PUBLIC OPINION BY WALTER LIPPMANN TO FAYE LIPPMANN Wading River, Long Island. 1921. _"Behold! human beings living in a sort of underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all across the den; they have been here from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them; for the chains are arranged in such a manner as to prevent them from turning round their heads. At a distance above and behind them the light of a fire is blazing, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players have before them, over which they show the puppets. I see, he said. And do you see, I said, men passing along the wall carrying vessels, which appear over the wall; also figures of men and animals, made of wood and stone and various materials; and some of the prisoners, as you would expect, are talking, and some of them are silent? This is a strange image, he said, and they are strange prisoners. Like ourselves, I replied; and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave? True, he said: how could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads? And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would see only the shadows? Yes, he said.

  • Jonathan Edwards: “Born to Be a Man of Strife” the Evolution of a Persona
    Jonathan Edwards: “Born to be a Man of Strife” The Evolution of a Persona Carol Elaine BALL BTh (ACTh), GradDipMin (QBCM), BA, MPhil (Queensland) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2012 School of History, Philosophy, Religion, and Classics ABSTRACT It has been rightly noted that, while three centuries of scholarship on Jonathan Edwards has revealed much of his philosophy, theology and epistemology, yet we know very little of the person himself. Using insights from philosophical and literary disciplines as applied to the field of persona, this thesis examines a representative selection of the writings of Jonathan Edwards, in order to trace and assess the evolution of Jonathan Edwards’s persona in the context of eighteenth-century New England. In particular, it shows how the Edwards persona was developed not only as a result of a carefully crafted intentional strategy on his part but also in response to the unplanned but inevitable conflicts that plagued his ecclesiastical career. The tension between his innately contemplative nature and the active demands of public office as he executed his professional role was a constant source of internal and public strife for Edwards. He was, as he termed it, “born to be a man of strife.” This tension was a major factor in the self-fashioning which Edwards progressively underwent, and so the motif of persona development through conflicts and crises runs through the thesis. While such tension caused him to be ousted from his public office, it also led ultimately to a personal liberation in which his authentic self was expressed.
