Also, I want to thank Perfecto Herrera for providing support, countless suggestions, reading all my writings, giving ideas, and devoting much time to me during this long journey. This thesis would not exist if it weren’t for the the help and assistance of many people. At the risk of unfair omission, I want to express my gratitude to them.

    for the SONGS o.£ NICHOLA.S MEDT'NE,R by Henry s,, Drinker NICHOLAS ·MEDT'NER By Alfred J. Swan· (Written by Professor Swan for the recital of Medtner's songs by Mme. Maria Kurenko and Paule Bailly at the Juilliard School on April 24, 1946) Nicholas Medtner was born in Moscow in January 1880. He tame from one of those Baltic families long settled in Central. Russia for purposes of· trade or business. Nothing seemed to predestine him to become a composer. Yet at the age of 12 music was already so living a force in his life that his parents transferred him from a regular Gymnasium to the famous Conservatory then directed by Safonoff. There was nothing spectacular about his musical endow­ ment, but step by step he proceeded to master the musical language, for he had definitely chosen it as a medium for the expression of his as yet undeveloped thoughts and emotions. After long years of hard work he graduated from Safonoff's class in piano. In presenting the customary medals and distinctions Safonoff turned to him say­ ing: "And to you I would give the ,diamond medal, but unfortunately this insti,. tution's highest award is only a gold medal." Safonoff inaugurated a concert tour for him abroad and insisted that he play everywhere the Hammerclavier Sonata of Beethoven. But he went only reluctantly, for he now wanted to de­ vote himself entirely to composition. Whether it· was now· that he became a pupil of Taneieff in counterpoint, or had studied. with him while learning the piano with Safonoff, is not quite clear.

    Ideologies of Femininity, Ballet, and Dancing Schools

    UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CHICHESTER an accredited college of the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON BALLERINAS IN THE CHURCH HALL: IDEOLOGIES OF FEMININITY, BALLET, AND DANCING SCHOOLS Virginia Christine Taylor MA (Cantab) MA (Staffordshire) Doctor of Philosophy DANCE IN THE SCHOOL OF VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS September 2003 This thesis has been completed as a requirement for a higher degree of the University of Southampton WS 2235610 X TN€ ?~3. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 3~ 0) '''Y UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CHICHESTER an accredited college of the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT The 'Church Hall' is a metonym for the Private Dancing School, ubiquitous in the UK, whose principal clients are young girls. The thesis interrogates the notion that taking part in ballet is a capitulation to the 'stereotypically feminine', by analysing the testimony of girls aged between 8 and II who attend local dancing schools. It presents their comparative assessment of the pedagogies in their primary schools and dancing classes. The thesis interrogates the stability of the idea of 'feminine' and its relationship with the political position of women, employing the theoretical, conceptual foundation for the obverse of a phallogocentric value system developed by psychiatrist Ian D.Suttie (1935), and the possibilities of loosening binary oppositions offered by the semiotic (Greimas') square. The thesis also proposes that the 'symbolic spread' (Frye, 1976: 59) of ballet, and hostility to it, are cognate with the concerns, dynamics, and reception of literary romance, and that both are perceived by the 'guardians oftaste and learning' (Northrop Frye's phrase, 1976:23) in terms which demonstrate Suttie's 'taboo on tenderness'. The thesis brings into representation the history and relationship to the state of British dance culture's 'Private Sector', in dialectical relationship to the largely negative terms in which it is cast by the academic dance community and the maintained education sector.
  • CORMAC MCCARTHY and the ETHICS of READING By

    CORMAC MCCARTHY and the ETHICS of READING By

    CORMAC MCCARTHY AND THE ETHICS OF READING by MATTHEW RUSH HORTON (Under the Direction of Carl Rapp) ABSTRACT To demonstrate his interest in the ethical dimension of fiction and reading, this study examines the narrative strategies of Cormac McCarthy in three of his novels: Outer Dark, Child of God, and Blood Meridian. Each novel dramatizes a dilemma related to the act of reading; accordingly, “the ethics of reading” is treated as an element of his fiction, not as a theoretical category. Instead of prescribing an approach to reading, this study focuses on how these novels raise ethical questions about the act of reading. As ethical criticism, it addresses the central concern of all ethical inquiry (“what is the good?”) by exploring how his narrative form and storytelling methods complement the theme of accountability. Although the reader of these novels might grow as a reader, he is under no moral obligation to reflect on how he should read them. Scholars have shown an interest in the ethical and formalist dimensions of McCarthy’s work for some time, but few have considered how he addresses ethical questions through his formal technique. Comprising a stylistic and thematic trilogy, Outer Dark, Child of God, and Blood Meridian demonstrate how story and narration intersect and interact in his fiction. Implications for scholarship and teaching are discussed in the final chapter. INDEX WORDS: Ethics of reading, Ethical criticism, Narrative structure, Ethics of fiction, Cormac McCarthy CORMAC MCCARTHY AND THE ETHICS OF READING by MATTHEW RUSH
