1 Themes of Nature: Body, Spirit, Place and a Collection of Poems
1 Themes of Nature: Body, Spirit, Place and a collection of poems Finding The Room William Henry Searle Royal Holloway University of London English Department PhD Creative Writing 2 Declaration of Authorship I …William Searle…………………. (please insert name) hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: __William Searle____________________ Date: ___29/08/12_____________________ 3 Abstract The thesis explores three themes, - Body, Spirit, Place, – that are fundamental to my own poetry collection, Finding The Room. Taken together, my poetry and the thesis form a comprehensive understanding of the human subject’s relation to the natural world, and aim towards a redifintion of human subjectivity. In chapter one, through a phenomenological inquiry into the poetry of Ted Hughes, the primordial unity between the body and the natural world is explored. Born out of the intercorporeal rapport between body and world is the Natural Self which perceives itself to be interwoven into its sensuous surroundings, sharing its flesh with the flesh of the world. Out of the primordial coherence between the human body and the body of the earth, occurs the genesis of sacredness, leading on to chapter two which explores the nature-mysticism of R.S. Thomas whose spirituality is presented as being enrooted in an incorporeal bond between body and world. In chapter two it is argued that spirituality is grounded in the actuality of the intercorporeal fusion between body and world, and that the numinous reveals itself through the earth to those that, like R.S. -
In 193X, Constance Rourke's Book American Humor Was Reviewed In
OUR LIVELY ARTS: AMERICAN CULTURE AS THEATRICAL CULTURE, 1922-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Schlueter, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Professor Lesley Ferris Adviser Associate Professor Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Schlueter c. 2007 ABSTRACT In the first decades of the twentieth century, critics like H.L. Mencken and Van Wyck Brooks vociferously expounded a deep and profound disenchantment with American art and culture. At a time when American popular entertainments were expanding exponentially, and at a time when European high modernism was in full flower, American culture appeared to these critics to be at best a quagmire of philistinism and at worst an oxymoron. Today there is still general agreement that American arts “came of age” or “arrived” in the 1920s, thanks in part to this flogging criticism, but also because of the powerful influence of European modernism. Yet, this assessment was not, at the time, unanimous, and its conclusions should not, I argue, be taken as foregone. In this dissertation, I present crucial case studies of Constance Rourke (1885-1941) and Gilbert Seldes (1893-1970), two astute but understudied cultural critics who saw the same popular culture denigrated by Brooks or Mencken as vibrant evidence of exactly the modern American culture they were seeking. In their writings of the 1920s and 1930s, Rourke and Seldes argued that our “lively arts” (Seldes’ formulation) of performance—vaudeville, minstrelsy, burlesque, jazz, radio, and film—contained both the roots of our own unique culture as well as the seeds of a burgeoning modernism. -

Machann Marco A. Portales David Vaught Head of Department, Paul A. Parrish August 2006 Major Subject: English iii ABSTRACT Recovering Carl Sandburg: Politics, Prose, and Poetry After 1920. (August 2006) Evert Villarreal, B.A., The University of Texas-Pan American; M.A., The University of Texas-Pan American Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. William Bedford Clark Chapter I of this study is an attempt to articulate and understand the factors that have contributed to Carl Sandburg’s declining trajectory, which has led to a reputation that has diminished significantly in the twentieth century. I note that from the outset of his long career of publication – running from 1904 to 1963 – Sandburg was a literary outsider despite (and sometimes because of) his great public popularity though he enjoyed a national reputation from the early 1920s onward. Chapter II clarifies how Carl Sandburg, in various ways, was attempting to re- invent or re-construct American literature. -

Violent Emotions: Modern Japanese and Korean Women's
VIOLENT EMOTIONS: MODERN JAPANESE AND KOREAN WOMEN'S WRITING, 1920-1980. by MISELI JEON B.A., Yonsei University, Korea, 1976 M.A., Hanguk Oegugo Univeristy, Korea, 1986 M.L.S., The University of British Columbia, 1991 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 1996 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES PROGRAMME IN COMPARATIVE LITERATURE We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard. THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA June 2004 © Miseli Jeon, 2004 Abstract This thesis aims to draw scholarly and general attention to two long-neglected areas in the fields of modern Korean and Japanese literature. The first is the way that individualism (an imported concept) was adopted and adapted by modern Korean and Japanese women writers from the 1920s to 1970s. The second is the role that the traditional sensibilities of urami (in Japan) and han (in Korea) play in modern women's writing. An additional purpose of the thesis is to introduce these traditional sensibilities to Western readers. The work of six writers will be highlighted, namely Hirabayashi Taiko, Kono Taeko, and Oba Minako in Japanese literature, and Kang Kyong-ae, 0 Chong-hui, and Pak Wan-so in Korean writing. The discussion is divided into the periods before and after the Second World War. Within each period, Korean and Japanese women writers are paired according to thematic similarities in their works. My discussion is based on the hypothesis that the Western ideal of individualism provided an outlet for Korean and Japanese women previously silenced and marginalized by the rigid precepts of the traditional neo-Confucian patriarchy in both Korea and Japan. -
"Superman" by Wesley Strick
r "SUPERMAN" Screenplay by Wesley Strick Jon Peters Entertainment Director: Tim Burton Warner Bros. Pictures July 7, 1997 y?5^v First Draft The SCREEN is BLACK. FADE IN ON: INT. UNIVERSITY CORRIDOR - LATE NIGHT A YOUNG PROFESSOR hurries down the empty hall — hotly murmuring to himself, intensely concerned ... A handsome man, about 30, but dressed strangely — are we in some other country? Sometime in the past? Or in the future? YOUNG PROFESSOR It's switched off ... It can't be ... But the readings, what else — The Young Professor reaches a massive steel door, like the hatch of a walk-in safe. Slides an ID card, that's emblazoned with a familiar-looking "S" shield: the door hinges open. The Young Professor pauses — he hadn't noted, till now, the depths of his fear. Then, enters: INT. UNIVERSITY LAB - LATE NIGHT Dark. The Professor tries the lights. Power is off. Cursing, he's got just enough time, as the safe door r swings closed again, to find an emergency flashlight. He flicks it on: plays the beam over all the bizarre equipment, the ultra-advanced science paraphernalia. Now he hears a CREAK. He spins. His voice quavers. YOUNG PROFESSOR I.A.C. ..? His flashlight finds a thing: a translucent ball perched atop a corroding pyramid shape. It appears inanimate. YOUNG PROFESSOR (cont'd) Answer me. And finally, from within the ball, a faint alow. Slyly: BALL How can I? You unplugged me, Jor- El ... Remember? Recall? The Young Professor -- JOR-EL -- looks visibly shaken. y*fi^*\ (CONTINUED) CONTINUED: JOR-EL I did what I had to, I.A.C. -

INK 2015 Cover Art: Karla, Grade 7 Back Cover: Manuela, Grade 8 Artwork featured in this edition of INK was inspired by The East Harlem School’s 2014 Benefit entitled “Creation.” INK A Student Literary Arts Magazine “Poetry is about manner as much as it is about matter.” From Armitage’s preface to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight The poetic enterprise on 103rd Street imbues all of our work. Every day we ask our students to engage the world, words, and themselves with the hard gaze of disciplined inquiry – and we demand that hard gaze be softened by a love and awe for what they examine. This process occurs in the mathematics classroom, the science lab, and on the soccer pitch. With poetry specifically, our students closely observe their own interior and our shared exterior worlds – the matter. Then students, while learning the templates and structures of great poetry, carefully craft language and develop dynamic oratory – themanner of expression. With matter and manner in balance, students seek to move themselves and others to active empathy, deep understanding, laughter, tears, and hope. Ivan M. Hageman Head of School 1 The East Harlem School at Exodus House Small school. BIG impact. Our mission: The East Harlem School challenges students to develop a balanced physical, moral, and intellectual strength that they will use to adapt to change - and for the final purpose of creating and sharing lives of deep meaning, dynamic actions, and transcendent joy. We are a middle school (grades 4-8) that recruits children from families with low income and the highest values, and we give preference to those who keep to the traditional belief that creative flight can only be sustained by grounded discipline. -

How Roger’s three daughters grew into the maturity of their several lives, each one so different, Mr. Poole tells with strong and compelling beauty, touching with deep, whole-hearted conviction some of the most vital problems of our modern way of living!the home, motherhood, children, the school; all of them seen through the realization, which Roger’s dying wife made clear to him, that whatever life may bring, ‘we will live on in our children’s lives.’ The old Gale house down-town is a little fragment of a past generation existing somehow beneath the towering apartments and office-buildings of the altered city. Roger will be remembered when other figures in modern literature have been forgotten, gazing out of his window at the lights of some near-by dwelling lifting high above his home, thinking -
Diversity of K-Pop: a Focus on Race, Language, and Musical Genre
DIVERSITY OF K-POP: A FOCUS ON RACE, LANGUAGE, AND MUSICAL GENRE Wonseok Lee A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2018 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2018 Wonseok Lee All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Since the end of the 1990s, Korean popular culture, known as Hallyu, has spread to the world. As the most significant part of Hallyu, Korean popular music, K-pop, captivates global audiences. From a typical K-pop artist, Psy, to a recent sensation of global popular music, BTS, K-pop enthusiasts all around the world prove that K-pop is an ongoing global cultural flow. Despite the fact that the term K-pop explicitly indicates a certain ethnicity and language, as K- pop expanded and became influential to the world, it developed distinct features that did not exist in it before. This thesis examines these distinct features of K-pop focusing on race, language, and musical genre: it reveals how K-pop groups today consist of non-Korean musicians, what makes K-pop groups consisting of all Korean musicians sing in non-Korean languages, what kind of diverse musical genres exists in the K-pop field with two case studies, and what these features mean in terms of the discourse of K-pop today. By looking at the diversity of K-pop, I emphasize that K-pop is not merely a dance- oriented musical genre sung by Koreans in the Korean language.
