In the Figured Worlds of Culture and Religion: Prospective Teachers’ Discourse Around Latino Literature for Children In the Figured Worlds of Culture and Religion: Prospective Teachers’ Discourse Around Latino Literature for Children DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Denise Lynne Davila Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Barbara Kiefer, Adviser Barbara Lehman Patricia Enciso Caroline Clark Copyrighted by Denise L. Davila 2012 Abstract This dissertation examines what happens when prospective teachers (PTs) engage with works of Latino children’s literature that contain visual religious content. Exposing PTs to accurate and affirming works of Latino children’s literature could foster their cultural awareness (Medina & Enciso, 2001) and support their future work in diverse school communities. Conversely, teachers’ avoidance of multicultural texts is well documented (Nieto, 2002; Taxel, 1994). Gándara (2008) argues that unprepared teachers are one of the primary reasons that there is a crisis in the education of Latino students. This dissertation focuses on an analysis of the social Discourses and figured worlds (Gee, 2011) that PTs construe in response to acclaimed Latino picturebooks such as In My Family (Garza, 1996), Friends from the Other Side (Anzaldúa, 1993), and Abuelito Eats with His Fingers (Levy, 1999), each of which is a work of critical fiction (Mariani, 1991). The teacher-researcher collected data from 83 predominantly white, young, female prospective teachers enrolled in a major Midwest university’s introductory survey course of children’s literature that is a prerequisite to the university’s post-baccalaureate licensure program. Data sources included participants’ written responses to the literature and related pedagogy, fieldnotes, and audio recordings of small group and whole class discussions. Using Gee’s (2011) concept of figured worlds as a tool of inquiry for content analysis, this study revealed that some of these PTs impose strict cultural boundaries ii around “American” identity. These boundaries exclude and displace children of Mexican heritage. The data set points to deficiencies in multicultural education as experienced by some PTs in the last decade. It shows contradictions between many PTs’ desires to foster cultural awareness and their ideologies and political outlooks related to myths about Latinos, immigration, and religion in public education. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my dissertation committee members Barbara Kiefer, Barbara Lehman, Patricia Enciso, and Caroline Clark for their tremendous guidance and support during my studies at the Ohio State University. I am honored that you are my mentors and eternally grateful for you kind and thoughtful responses to my work. iv Vita 1991 ...............................................................B.A. Liberal Studies: Early Childhood Option, California State University East Bay 1991 to 1994 ..................................................Classroom Teacher, Saint Elizabeth Elementary School, Oakland CA 1993 ...............................................................Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, Holy Names University 1994 ...............................................................Cross-cultural Language and Academic Development (CLAD) Certification, Alameda County Office of Education, CA 1994 to 1995 ..................................................Classroom Teacher, International School of Trieste, Italy 1995 to 1998 ..................................................Math & Science Instructor/Curriculum Developer, Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley 2001 ...............................................................M.S.

Little research exists on listener’s perception of EVPs to date. The field of speech science involves the study of the production, transmission, and perception of human speech. Many concrete elements from the study of speech science have the potential to be applied to the interpretation of EVP content. Several works of literature were reviewed to assess current EVP analysis practices Interviews were conducted with various paranormal investigation societies across the nation to gather information on the general practices involved in EVP collection, analysis, interpretation, and use.

In two studies, the research examined the effects of exposing consumers to print ads containing faces or pareidolian images for short time lapses (0.5, 1, and 3 seconds). The results show that both ad types capture viewers’ attention and are more frequently recognized than advertisements that do not feature faces or face-like objects. Moreover, both face ads and pareidolian ads increase brand recognition and ad preference. The theoretical and operational implications are discussed. Keywords: Faces, pareidolia, orienting response, attention, ad preference, ad recognition, brand recognition. Management Slant • Ads featuring human faces and “face-like” (i.e., pareidolian) images capture greater attention and preference than other ads in short time lapses.

  • The Authenticity of Ambiguity: Dada and Existentialism
    THE AUTHENTICITY OF AMBIGUITY: DADA AND EXISTENTIALISM by ELIZABETH FRANCES BENJAMIN A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ii - ABSTRACT - Dada is often dismissed as an anti-art movement that engaged with a limited and merely destructive theoretical impetus. French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist implications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophy in the former and with art in the latter. Neither was nonsensical or meaningless, but both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration of the individual and society. It is through their combined analysis that we can view and productively utilise their alignment. Offering new critical aesthetic and philosophical approaches to Dada as a quintessential part of the European Avant-Garde, this thesis performs a reassessment of the movement as a form of (proto-)Existentialist philosophy. The thesis represents the first major comparative study of Dada and Existentialism, contributing a new perspective on Dada as a movement, a historical legacy, and a philosophical field of study.

  • Tori Amos Live
    TORI AMOS LIVE Musik-Ikone am 2. März 2022 in der Laeiszhalle in Hamburg! Tori Amos, eine der erfolgreichsten und einflussreichsten Künstlerinnen ihrer Generation, hat mehr als 12 Millionen Alben verkauft, über 1.000 Konzerte gegeben und zahlreiche Auszeichnungen erhalten. Seit ihrem Debüt ›Little Earthquakes‹ 1992 sandte sie mit ihren musikalischen Offenbarungen oftmals Schockwellen aus. Im Verlauf ihrer erstaunlichen Karriere entwickelte sich die weltweit anerkannte Sängerin und Songschreiberin zu einer wahren Kultfigur der internationalen Musikszene. Dabei erfährt sie immer wieder Zuspruch für ihre beispiellosen Botschaften und ambivalenten Bekenntnisse, die verwirren, verwundern und verzaubern – und das u.a. auch als Autorin eines New York Times-Bestseller (›Resistance‹). In der Musikszene greift Amos auch gerne mal zu schärferen Tönen – und prägt damit eine ganze Industrie. Von ihrer bedrückenden Schilderung sexueller Gewalt in ›Me and a Gun‹ über ihr post 9/11-Album ›Scarlet’s Walk‹ bis hin zu ihrem feministischem Musical ›The Light Princess‹ (2013) hat sie sich nie davor gescheut, persönliche Erfahrungen mit politischen Ansichten zu verbinden. Ihr 15. und jüngstes Studioalbum ›Native Invader‹ aus dem Jahre 2017 entstand mit der Absicht zu beweisen, dass »wir das destruktive um uns herum mit kreativer Kraft überwinden können.« Und diese Botschaft war auch 2020 die Grundlage ihres zweiten New York Times-Bestsellers ›Resistance‹, eine Geschichte der Hoffnung, des Wechsels und des Muts als Gegenpol zum derzeitigen Trauma.
