Lapaglia Final Final Dissertation in Template 2019 22 Mar 2019
A CULTURAL GENEALOGY OF STRATEGIC RATIONALITY A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Liberal Studies By Gino R LaPaglia, M.S. Washington, DC April 10, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Gino R LaPaglia All Rights Reserved !ii A CULTURAL GENEALOGY OF STRATEGIC RATIONALITY Gino R. LaPaglia, M.S. Thesis Advisor: Francis Ambrosio, Ph.D ABSTRACT I construct in this thesis a cultural genealogy to trace in Western civilization a consistent set of values that underlie a worldview that I call Strategic Intelligence (SI). I argue that the plethora of cultural data indicates the presence both of an underlying strategic rationality and a metaphorological paradigm that functions at a level that is more expansive than the terminological and conceptual. I conclude that the values of SI have been transmitted in cultural sources for thousands of years, in multiple cultures. Invested with the highest forms of authority, the continuous transmission of the values of SI in two distinct civilizations (European, Chinese) over the trajectory of their unique cultural evolution provides evidence for the authority, legitimacy and potency of this ancient framework of meaning as fundamental to culture. (Keywords: Strategic Intelligence, Strategic Rationality, Philosophy of Strategy, Philosophical Anthropology, Hermeneutic Philosophy, Axiology, Metaphorical Analysis, Cultural Studies, Mētic) !iii The research and writing of this thesis is dedicated to everyone who helped along the way. Foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to the two professors who most influenced the course of my doctoral studies, my advisor Dr. -

The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, Part One: 1890 to 1919
Journalist in Silent Film 35 The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929: Part One 1890 to 1919 Joe Saltzman Professor of Journalism Director of the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) A Project of the Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] with Liz Mitchell Senior Research Associate Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Introduction This is the first installment in the landmark study of “The Image of the Journalist in Silent Film, 1890 to 1929.” It covers 1,948 films from 1890 to 1919. Part Two will cover the years from 1920 to the beginning of recorded sound in 1929. This is the first comprehensive study of the beginning of cinema’s earliest depictions of the journalist, mostly newspaper reporters, editors, and publishers. Newspaper fiction flourished at a time when journalism “was a revolutionary force, tearing up traditions, redefining public morality, and lending voice and encouragement to the disenfranchised. It reflected currents sweeping through every phase of American life. The skyrocketing circulations, the manic search for exclusive news, the sensational headlines, and the concentration of newspaper ownership were signs of an America changing from a rural society to an urban and industrial one. Since journalism so clearly mirrored and so loudly supported the new order, it became the preeminent symbol for the mechanization, standardization, democratization, and vulgarization of culture.”1 Historian Howard Good points out that the 1890s “represented a watershed not only in American journalism but also in American history. -

Mutations of the Vampire Motif in the Nineteenth Century Megan Bryan
Mutations of the Vampire Motif in the Nineteenth Century Megan Bryan PhD University of York English and Related Literature December 2016 Abstract This thesis seeks to explore the figure of the vampire in its specific historical contexts throughout the nineteenth century. It is an in-depth look at the social and cultural events which inspired literary appearances of the vampire from its oral beginnings in the eighteenth century and through each decade of the nineteenth century. It discusses how specific historical events and personal experiences of the authors of vampire fiction might have impacted the presentation of the vampire in those decades. It also details the shifting attributes of what constitutes a vampire, and how the motif is transmitted in terms of literary format. Broadly, it seeks to demonstrate that there is no set vampire canon, and no singular vampire figure. The ultimate aim of this thesis is to challenge received notions about the vampire, to chart its transformations, and thereby to attend to the complexity of a motif being constantly reworked in new historical and cultural contexts. 2 Table of Contents Abstract…………………………………………………………………………….2 Table of Contents………………………………………………………………...3 Acknowledgments………………………………………………………………..4 Author’s Declaration……………………………………………………………..6 Introduction – “He is Known Everywhere That Men Have Been”: Introducing the Vampire Motif………………………………………………….7 Chapter One - “More Remarkable for His Singularities Than His Rank”: The Byronic Vampire…………………………………………………………...56 Chapter Two - “Penny -
