Liahnna Stanley DEDICATION To those who share the pains of addiction. Let our tears, hurt, and struggles bring us together in our pursuit of recovery and survival for our friends, family, loved ones, others, and selves. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I view this project as a co-creation. It has taken form in the kindness, generosity, love, and guidance of my friends, mentors, and family. Thanks to you, what once was only a seed of an idea—a mere strand of thoughts—has become a garland of the most vibrant blooms. For this project, I am indebted to my thesis committee members: Drs. Ambar Basu, Lori Roscoe, and Jane Jorgenson. To you three, I give my sincerest gratitude. Thank you all for letting me explore and play. For your time and energy invested in this project. For your thoughtful advice and comforting words. I am eternally grateful to have been guided by such a brilliant and influential group of scholars. I will carry your wisdom and encouragement wherever I am and wherever I go. It truly is an honor to have you all as contributors of this project. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation. I have said it before and I will say it again: Everyone needs an Ambar Basu in their life. Ambar, a heartfelt thank you for being a friend, a mentor, a teacher, a soundboard, a critic, a source of inspiration. Your commitment and dedication to my success as a scholar is monumental and will never be forgotten. You give me the strength and courageousness to always keep digging, always keep pushing. Through you I have realized there are no boundaries of our thinking and doing. Though you are both within and beyond this project, still I hope you hear the echoes of your research and work throughout the reading of this text. Thank you. Lori (hey kiddo!), let it be known that my heart sings when I think of you. You take caring and mentoring to a rare and beautiful level, one that I will cherish forever. Your thoughtfulness is a gift I will always treasure. I am so grateful for the confident spirit you have helped instill in me and have helped me realize—when I am in doubt, I hear you say, “Liahnna, stop selling yourself short.” With you I have gained not only some of the most insightful advice and guidance, but also a dear friend. Thank you. Jane, thank you for your wisdom, serenity, and calming influence during difficult times. I must, too, mention that through your class emerged my first paper about my primary topic of interest. In my eyes, you helped me fall in love with what I do every day. I am so attracted to the ways in which you play with ideas and invite me to do the same. Truthfully, I would be proud to be half the mentor and scholar that you are in the years to come. I am humbled that you agreed to be a part of this endeavor and by the several conversations we shared about the creation of this project. Thank you. I would be remiss not to mention my incredible friends and family members for encouraging my educational aspirations. You are all a part of this winding journey. In fact, you created it, let it be possible, and fostered my curiosity to keep learning about our worlds on which this project is founded. To Mom, Dad, Larissa, Riane, Raelyn, and Grandma, your words of endless wisdom and support drives me to keep doing what I am doing. I hope to make you proud. Thank you for believing in me when I needed it most, for without your support I would not have had the chance to write this note of gratitude. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I love you all so much. Brooke, thank you for being so patient and sacrificial throughout this intense and demanding process. I cherish your love and affection more than anything else in this world. Words will never capture how grateful I am to have a partner who supports me the way you do. Thank you for your boundless love, encouragement, and patience. Thank you for the several sleepless nights filled with binge writing and reading sessions. You have been with me every single step of the way. Thank you for helping me pursue my dreams. I love you. To my USF Communication family, you are a pillar of my (our) success. Faculty and graduate students alike, thank you for being some of the brightest rays of sunshine in my every waking day. Your laughter, encouragement, and invigorating energies nourish my soul, our conversations a tonic for my life. To my graduate colleagues, I do not believe I could have accomplished what I have without your support. Thank you for letting me vent, play, love, share, and become—thank you for being in the thick of it alongside me, thank you for being a part of me. Thank you to Safe Exchange Tampa for letting me work with and learn from you. For without you, this project may not be. No word of gratitude can convey how thankful I am for the opportunities you have provided me. You all continue to inspire me and stimulate my drive and ambition in health scholarship. Finally, this project would not have been possible without you, Tilly, June, Leo, and Ozzy, and the several other participants that helped shape this project. From you all, I learned so much. Thank you for letting me feel and see into the window of your lives. I will make sure to do the best I can and continue honoring your stories and narratives throughout my work and life.

    Classified by Genre: Rhetorical Genrefication in Cinema By © 2019 Carl Joseph Swanson M.A., Saint Louis University, 2013 B.L.S., University of Missouri-St. Louis, 2010 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Catherine Preston Co-Chair: Joshua Miner Michael Baskett Ron Wilson Amy Devitt Date Defended: 26 April 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Carl Joseph Swanson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Classified by Genre: Rhetorical Genrefication in Cinema Chair: Catherine Preston Co-Chair: Joshua Miner Date Approved: 26 April 2019 iii Abstract This dissertation argues for a rethinking and expansion of film genre theory. As the variety of media exhibition platforms expands and as discourse about films permeates a greater number of communication media, the use of generic terms has never been more multiform or observable. Fundamental problems in the very conception of film genre have yet to be addressed adequately, and film genre study has carried on despite its untenable theoretical footing. Synthesizing pragmatic genre theory, constructivist film theory, Bourdieusian fan studies, and rhetorical genre studies, the dissertation aims to work through the radical implications of pragmatic genre theory and account for genres role in interpretation, evaluation, and rhetorical framing as part of broader, recurring social activities. This model rejects textualist and realist foundations for film genre; only pragmatic genre use can serve as a foundation for understanding film genres. From this perspective, the concept of genre is reconstructed according to its interpretive and rhetorical functions rather than a priori assumptions about the text or transtextual structures.

  • Family Systems Theory in Chekhov's
    FAMILY SYSTEMS THEORY IN CHEKHOV’S “BIG FOUR” PLAYS A THESIS IN Theatre Arts Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by CALAN HUGHES WELDER B.A., Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, 2016 Kansas City, Missouri 2018 FAMILY SYSTEMS THEORY IN CHEKHOV’S “BIG FOUR” PLAYS Calan Hughes Welder, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the Bowen family systems theory and its application to character analysis and family relationships in drama. Chekhov’s plays are renowned for their psychological realism. Each character has his or her own unique history, which was a boon to the creation and development of the Stanislavski acting system. This thesis is an exercise in character creation through psychological analysis. The primary character relationships are explored in each of Chekhov’s four major plays. Each play is analyzed using the Bowen principle that appears most overtly in that play. It is concluded that character creation for actors and directors, as well as literary analysis, will benefit from the application of this method. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, have examined a thesis titled “Family Systems Theory in Chekhov’s ‘Big Four’ Plays,” presented by Calan Hughes Welder, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

  • ANIMALS and ANIMAL-HUMAN DYNAMICS in VALERIUS FLACCUS' ARGONAUTICA
    1 ANIMALS and ANIMAL-HUMAN DYNAMICS in VALERIUS FLACCUS’ ARGONAUTICA. Anne Tuttle Mackay University College London Ph.D., Greek & Latin 2 3 Declaration. I, Anne Tuttle Mackay, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 4 5 Abstract: Animals and Animal-Human Dynamics in Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica. Animals have come into their own as subjects for research across the Humanities, and recent work focuses on animals in classical culture, animal imagery in different literary genres, and even animal empathy in Greek literature. My thesis, however, is among the first sustained studies on animals—their representation, poetic function, and interactions with humans—in a single work. The study is backgrounded by research on the Argonautica itself; animal similes; the cultural significance of animals in Rome; and representations and development of animal subjectivity in Latin literature. I analyze a significant proportion of VF’s animals in diverse contexts, and divide the thesis based on those contexts. I first look at similes, for example, like those which highlight the individual experience and development of birds, and those which explore the relationship between epic tradition and portrayals of animals like lions. Animals interacting with humans in the narrative feature in the second half, as victims of human violence—e.g. a sacrificial bull—or as companions and partners, like war-dogs and -horses. My methodology blends several approaches, examining animals and their relationships with humans, via intertextual and narratological analysis and aspects of empathy, reception, and (occasionally) a wary, self-conscious anthropocentrism.
