I myself saw nothing of the affair, for (in common with many of the passengers), wishing to escape the noise and discomfort of coaling, I had gone to spend the evening ashore. As it happens, however, I am in a position to know what really occurred, and to explain the cause. So many years have now elapsed since the incidents about to be related, that there is no reason why I should not break the silence I have hitherto maintained. I had been traveling in the Federated Malay States. Recalled home by cable on urgent private affairs, I joined the Wotan at Singapore, and had to put up with very poor accommodation. My cabin was a hold of a place squeezed into a corner close to the engine-room, small, hot, and dark. The fusty, stagnant air reeked of oil. I had to keep the electric fan running, with the result that a fetid draught crawled over my face reminding me of the fluttering of a crazy bat. From beneath came the persistent rattle and groans of the engines, which sounded like a coal-porter tramping and wheezing as he climbed an unending flight of iron stairs; from above came the no less persistent tread of feet upon the promenade deck.

  • Ancient Narrative Volume 1
    Religious Narratives and Religious Themes in the Novels of Achilles Tatius and Heliodorus MARGARET EDSALL New York 1. Introduction The prominence of religious themes in the Greek novels has elicited a vari- ety of views about the relationship between the novel and religion:1 1) the novels are cult texts of mystery religions;2 2) particular cults indirectly influ- ence the novels;3 3) the novels are religious in a more general sense;4 4) reli- gious themes are a resource for narrative technique with no reference beyond the boundaries of fiction.5 Recently, Merkelbach and Bowersock have pro- posed that religious themes reflect the novel’s origin in religious narratives.6 Merkelbach concludes that religious themes reflect not only the novel’s symbolic meaning but also its origin in pagan aretalogies.7 Bowersock sug- gests that religious themes are inspired by Christian miracle narratives but the novel remains a “secular scripture.”8 Interestingly, each critic isolates a different type of religious narrative as the source of the novel’s origin but admits that other genres are at play. According to Fusillo, multiple hypothe- ses concerning literary influences may be plausibly advanced, since the novel seems to derive from the disintegration of previous literary forms.9 Thus, these conclusions raise a far different issue than they in fact address: ————— 1 Morgan 1996. 2 Kerenyi 1927; Merkelbach 1962. 3 Altheim 1948; Weinreich 1962; Griffiths 1978; Edwards 1985. 4 Beck 1996; Reardon 1969; Heiserman 1977; Hägg 1983. 5 Winkler 1980; 1982; Morgan 1978; 1996. 6 Merkelbach 1994; Bowersock 1994a. 7 Symbolic meaning: Merkelbach 1962; Origin in pagan aretalogy: Merkelbach 1994, 290.

  • From Family Albums to Global Search Engines: Translating Family Photographs for the Digital Age
    FROM FAMILY ALBUMS TO GLOBAL SEARCH ENGINES: TRANSLATING FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE DIGITAL AGE By Sophie Johnson A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2012 i CONTENTS ABSTRACT iii LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS v INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER ONE THE DISCOURSE OF THE MATERIAL FAMILY ALBUM 13 CHAPTER TWO MAKING THE DISCOURSE VISIBLE: DIGITAL PHOTO-SHARING PLATFORMS, REMEDIATION AND MEDIATIZATION 40 CHAPTER THREE ACCESS TO THE FAMILY ALBUM: SOCIAL RESTRICTIONS AND PRIVACY IN PUBLIC SPACES 71 CHAPTER FOUR COMMODIFICATION OF THE PERSONAL: THE FAMILY ALBUM AND COMMERCE 99 CONCLUSION 122 WORKS CITED 125 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the ways digital photo-sharing platforms adopt, use and challenge the discourse of the material family album as a way of demonstrating the uses for new media within the private sphere. It analyses the digital photo-sharing platforms of Picasa and Shutterfly, platforms which often take contrasting approaches to negotiating the relationship between material and digital cultures. By examining these platforms in terms of the way they reference and use the discourse of the material family album, the ways they allow content to be used and accessed, and their relationship to commercial culture, this thesis explores how these platforms use the discourse to transform the way the family and the family album interact with one another, and with geography, time and commercial culture. It argues that the discourse of the material family album is translated by digital photo-sharing platforms in order to ensure the family participates in the digital sphere, drawing more of human communication into the online space where it can be mediatized, observed, and commodified.

  • Dissertation Career Reentry and the Kaleidoscope
    DISSERTATION CAREER REENTRY AND THE KALEIDOSCOPE CAREER MODEL: EXPERIENCES OF HIGH ACHIEVING PROFESSIONAL WOMEN REENTERING THE WORKFORCE AFTER OPTING OUT Submitted by Jennifer Knowles School of Education In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2017 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Gene Gloeckner George Kamberelis Lisa Mainiero Shelley Haddock Copyright by Jennifer Knowles 2017 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT CAREER REENTRY AND THE KALEIDOSCOPE CAREER MODEL: EXPERIENCES OF HIGH ACHIEVING PROFESSIONAL WOMEN REENTERING THE WORKFORCE AFTER OPTING OUT The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of career reentry of high achieving professional women who had opted out of the workforce after having children. The theoretical framework was based on the Kaleidoscope Career Model of Mainiero and Sullivan, and its parameters of authenticity, balance, and challenge. The research indicated that most professional women did not willingly leave the workforce after having children. Instead, due to family pulls and workplace pushes, they felt like they had no other option. While the main focus of the study revolved around the experiences of high achieving professional women reentering the workforce, reasons why these women opted out as well as their experiences while opted out were also examined to fully understand the phenomenon. Although there is considerable research as to why women opt out, minimal research exists on their experiences while opted out and their career reentry experiences. The participants studied were eight high achieving professional women who had successfully reentered the workforce after opting out. They were married, had attended graduate school, and had been in professional careers prior to opting out.
