  • “Becoming a Mother Is Nothing Like You See on TV!”: a Reflexive Autoethnography Exploring Dominant Cultural Ideologies of Motherhood
    MORAN, EMILY JEAN, Ph.D. “Becoming a Mother is Nothing Like You See on TV!”: A Reflexive Autoethnography Exploring Dominant Cultural Ideologies of Motherhood. (2014) Directed by Dr. Leila E. Villaverde. 348 pp. Mothers in contemporary American society are bombarded with images and stereotypes about motherhood. Dominant cultural discourses of motherhood draw from essentialist and socially constructed ideologies that are oppressive to women. This study uses autoethnographic research methods to explore the author’s experiences becoming a mother. Feminist theory is utilized to analyze the themes, the silences, and the absences in the autoethnographic stories. Using a feminist theoretical lens allows the author to deconstruct the hegemonic ideologies that shape the experience becoming a mother. I examine the role of dominant ideologies of motherhood in my own life. I explore the practices of maternal gatekeeping paying particular attention to the role of attachment theory in shaping the ideology of intensive mothering. I argue that autoethnography as a research method allows writers and readers to cross borders so long as they practice deep reflexivity and allow themselves to be vulnerable. This research is similar to Van Maanen’s (1988) confessional tale, where the researcher writes about the process that takes place behind the scenes of the research project. In this project, I write an autoethnography and then I describe the process of analysis, vulnerability, and reflexivity while examining the themes and silences within the data. “BECOMING A MOTHER IS NOTHING LIKE YOU SEE ON TV!”: A REFLEXIVE AUTOETHNOGRAPHY EXPLORING DOMINANT CULTURAL IDEOLOGIES OF MOTHERHOOD by Emily Jean Moran A Dissertation Submitted to the the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Greensboro 2014 Approved by Leila E.

  • The Personal Poetics of Robert Lowell and Allen Ginsberg
    MCNEES, MATTHEW J., Ph.D. Suffering and Liberation: The Personal Poetics of Robert Lowell and Allen Ginsberg. (2011) Directed by Drs. Keith Cushman and Anthony Cuda. 174 pp. This dissertation examines Robert Lowell and Allen Ginsberg’s personal poetry. While both poets attend to the random details of daily life, thereby establishing common ground as autobiographical writers, they differ markedly in their perspectives about the value of those details. Lowell possesses a stark, often nihilistic view, attesting to the irredeemable suffering of humanity; Ginsberg ascribes to a self-confident, sometimes larger-than-life persona, believing that complete freedom from fear is possible for everyone. My approach is roughly chronological, beginning when both poets committed themselves to personal, autobiographical poetry during the 1950s. The temporal frame of the study, with a few exceptions, spans from the early 1950s through the l970s. I give due attention to each poet’s “breakthrough” work in the 1950s--like Ginsberg’s Howl and Lowell’s Life Studies--but I also place both poets on a larger continuum that began before they wrote their breakthrough works and lasted beyond their initial success. I explain Lowell and Ginsberg’s place in the broader literary history of the modern poets that immediately preceded them. Each found the tenets of modern poetry limiting to his personal approach and found it necessary to resuscitate the value of individual, personal subjectivity, something that countered the prevailing notions of objective poetry as put forth most notably by T. S. Eliot. Lowell’s commitment to personal poetry came after he had already established his reputation in the 1940s, so his break into personal poetry was highly self-conscious; Ginsberg committed to it early and he never wavered in his approach.

  • Best New Films from Canada
    BEST NEW FILMS FROM CANADA JULY 7 – SEPTEMBER 13 AFI SILVER THEATRE AND CULTURAL CENTER CANADA NOW BEST NEW FILMS FROM CANADA 2017 JULY 7 – SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 AFI SILVER THEATRE AND CULTURAL CENTER On the occasion of Canada's 150th anniversary, AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center and Telefilm Canada present this selection of both classic and contemporary Canadian cinema. As the Hollywood studio system began to falter in the 1960s, Canada seized the initiative with innovative financing and artist-friendly state support to bolster a parallel cinema that eventually launched the careers of internationally acclaimed filmmakers like Denys Arcand, David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan, Guy Maddin, and Deepa Mehta. Today, a new wave of Québécois filmmakers have become sought-after directors for A-list Hollywood pictures, such as Jean-Marc Vallée — director of DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, WILD and the HBO smash BIG LITTLE LIES — and Denis Villeneuve, Oscar®-nominated for Best Director for 2016's ARRIVAL and whose upcoming BLADE RUNNER 2049 is one of the year's most anticipated releases. Meanwhile, enfant terrible Xavier Dolan has won major awards at the Cannes Film Festival. This series combines a diverse selection of contemporary films, from both veteran and emerging filmmakers, along with a selection of classic Canadian films from some of the country's most accomplished talents. Special thanks to Telefilm Canada and the Embassy of Canada in Washington, DC, for their generous support of this program. All screenings take place at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, 8633 Colesville Road — downtown Silver Spring, MD. TICKETS $13 General Admission $10 Seniors (65 and over) $10 Students with valid ID, and military personnel (discounted tickets available at box office only) $950 AFI Members (2-Star level & up) $8 Children (12 and under) $10 Matinee tickets, weekdays before 5:00 p.m., Sat.
