    HIP-HOP LIFE AND LIVELIHOOD IN NAIROBI, KENYA By JOHN ERIK TIMMONS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 © 2018 John Erik Timmons To my parents, John and Kathleen Timmons, my brothers, James and Chris Timmons, and my wife, Sheila Onzere ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The completion of a PhD requires the support of many people and institutions. The intellectual community at the University of Florida offered incredible support throughout my graduate education. In particular, I wish to thank my committee members, beginning with my Chair Richard Kernaghan, whose steadfast support and incisive comments on my work is most responsible for the completion of this PhD. Luise White and Brenda Chalfin have been continuous supporters of my work since my first semester at the University of Florida. Abdoulaye Kane and Larry Crook have given me valuable insights in their seminars and as readers of my dissertation. The Department of Anthropology gave me several semesters of financial support and helped fund pre-dissertation research. The Center for African Studies similarly helped fund this research through a pre-dissertation fellowship and awarding me two years’ support the Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship. Another generous Summer FLAS Fellowship was awarded through Yale’s MacMillan Center Council on African Studies. My language training in Kiswahili was carried out in the classrooms of several great instructors, Rose Lugano, Ann Biersteker, and Kiarie wa Njogu. The United States Department of Education generously supported this fieldwork through a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Award.

  • Writing the Goddess
    Writing the Goddess S. K. Kelen Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Discipline of English Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences University of Adelaide 2005 Abstract: Writing the Goddess by S. K. Kelen This thesis comprises a creative work, the manuscript of a book of poems, Goddess of Mercy, and an exegesis, A Further Existence, which explores the creative, aesthetic, philosophical and other ideas and inputs that went into writing the poems. Goddess is a collection of idylls of the electronic age, narratives, dramas, fictions and meditations. The poems are various in style and subject matter. The exegesis begins with the author’s earliest remembered experiences of poetry, considers a wide range of poetries and goes some way to proposing an open poetic that allows a writer versatility in approach to subject matter and writing style. Poems can transcend their time and place to create a ‘further existence’ where temporality is irrelevant. A diverse range of poems are examined — from ancient Babylonian to contemporary Australian — to determine the aspects of a poem that take it beyond daily speech. The usefulness and limitations of theory are considered. The art’s mystical dimensions are not easy to analyse but are still worth thinking about: the mysterious spark or talent for poetry, how and where a poem occurs, epiphanies, ‘being in the zone’ and when all the words come rushing at once. The persistence of poetry is noted: poetry still manifests itself in public life through newspapers, sport, pop music, radio commentary, television, and politics, as well as in everyday living.

Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Jessica Wolfe Marsha Collins Reid Barbour Diskin Clay Charles Fantazzi © 2010 Dustin Larry Mengelkoch ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DUSTIN LARRY MENGELKOCH: Papinian Mutability: Statius and Early Modernity (Under the direction of Jessica Wolfe) This dissertation examines the reception of the epic and lyric works of the Roman poet Statius in the early modern period. Although the study of Statius is now relegated to only the most dedicated of classics departments, early modern readers from Dante and Petrarch to Shakespeare and Milton enthusiastically read Statius alongside other classical Latin poets such as Virgil and Ovid. While Statius’s reputation during the period is well established, what is not as well known is how Renaissance readers interpreted Statius – how they made sense of his relationship to other ancient poets, how they understood his political sympathies, and above all how they labored to understand poems notorious for their opacity and difficulty. Whereas other classical poets were perceived clearly to state their poetic (and even political) ends, and thus to guide the reader, Statius offered no such guidance. The compressed nature of his poetry, in form and content alike, forced readers to fill in, rebuild, and expand wherever necessary.

  • The Catholic University of America
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA St George’s Day: A Cultural History A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History School of Arts and Science Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Hanael P. Bianchi Washington, D.C. 2011 St George’s Day: A Cultural History Hanael P. Bianchi, Ph.D. Director: Laura E. Nym Mayhall, Ph.D. The modern celebration of St. George’s Day, frequently associated with intense English nationalism, grew out of a religious feast that commemorated a Middle-Eastern individual who died protesting an intolerant empire. Historians and journalists have looked to the medieval period to explain how this foreigner inspired the national holiday of England, neglecting the five hundred years from the Reformation to the present. This project is the first examination of the modern holiday, and it argues that St. George’s Day was first celebrated as a nationalistic holiday in eighteenth-century North America and was only introduced into England at the end of the nineteenth century. Situated in the crossroads of cultural history and holiday studies, this study examines the changing meaning of rituals on St. George’s Day: religious liturgies, ridings of St. George, feasts of the Order of the Garter, and annual dinners of St. George’s societies. The investigation maintains that the holiday rose in prominence as a religious feast day during the medieval period with different segments of society celebrating St. George under a variety of identities: clergy honored a martyr, knights a warrior, and commoners a dragon- slayer.

  • (Resort) of England. Melancholy, Delusion and Disillusion in the Mid-Eighties Silvia Albertazzi Alma Mater Studiorum Università Di Bologna [email protected]
    de genere Rivista di studi letterari, postcoloniali e di genere Journal of Literary, Postcolonial and Gender Studies http://www.degenere-journal.it/ @ Edizioni Labrys -- all rights reserved ISSN 2465-2415 The Last (Resort) of England. Melancholy, Delusion and Disillusion in the Mid-Eighties Silvia Albertazzi Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna [email protected] In 1986, the photographer Martin Parr published The Last Resort, a controversial collection of shots taken at the popular beach of New Brighton. At the time, the book caused a great upheaval: Parr’s view of the working-class holidaymakers was considered too grotesque, sarcastic, and patronising. Only much later did critics realize that those photos were the expression of Parr’s anger about Thatcher’s social politics and her neglect of the proletarians’ needs. Starting from Parr’s images, I will analyse some British cultural products of the same period that reflect a similar sense of melancholy, desolation, and disillusion, often under an ostensible use of irony, parody and/or black humour. First, I will retrace this mid-Eighties Zeitgeist in works that appeared the year before Parr’s collection (the films My Beautiful Laundrette and Brazil, respectively by Stephen Frears and Terry Gilliam, and the album This Is the Sea, by the Waterboys). Then, I will refer to the Smiths’ album significantly called The Queen Is Dead, which appeared the same year as Parr’s photos. Silvia Albertazzi is Full Professor of English Postcolonial Literature and History of the English Culture at the University of Bologna. She is the author of the first Italian book on Postcolonial Theory, Lo sguardo dell’Altro (2000), updated and reissued in 2013 under the title La letteratura postcoloniale.

The lyrics of tracks such as “Sängerfahrt” (Ibsen), “Sehnsucht” (Eichendorff), or “Wie am ersten Tag” (Goethe) are infused with a deep, credible spirituality, further highlighted by the passion of the music and the record’s appropriate artwork. You may be surprised how pop-like, charming and catchy the music sounds. You may even think you’ve heard some of the songs before, you’ll draw comparisons to ORPLID or DERNIÈRE VOLONTÉ, but then you’ll realise that the music of LEGER DES HEILS is eminently German in nature. Yes, they’ve never been this touching, this stirring, this honest and this romantic before. They make you want to go out into the great outdoors, to forests and mountains, toward the sun and toward the gods. So let us summarize: LEGER DES HEILS are a wholly original Gesamtkunstwerk made up of heroic pop, classical poetry, and spiritual romanticism. They are totally unique in this approach for sure!
