  • Imagining Tr: Commemorations and Representations Of
    IMAGINING TR: COMMEMORATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY AMERICA A Dissertation by JENNIFER DAWN HETH Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Terry H. Anderson Committee Members, David Vaught Adam R. Seipp Stephen Caffey Head of Department, David Vaught December 2014 Major Subject: History Copyright 2014 Jennifer Dawn Heth ABSTRACT By examining monuments and memorials dedicated to Theodore Roosevelt in the twentieth century, this dissertation exposes the commemorators’ conscious and unconscious perceptions of masculinity and American identity visible in commemorative statuary. The monuments’ patrons and artists adapted the nation’s collective memory of Roosevelt to suit spatial and temporal variables, including their proposed messages, the monuments’ geographic and situational locations, along with their intended audiences. This dissertation illustrates how commemorators employed specific incarnations of Roosevelt’s multifaceted personality, from Rough Rider to hunter-explorer to statesman, to produce permanent, prominent, and didactic symbols through which to broadcast their values and ideals to both their contemporaries and future generations of Americans. These monuments are not mere reflections of the eras that produced them, however; they serve as portals into contemporary Americans’ sense of self and their understanding of national themes and politics. These visual elements produce evidence not found in textual representations. Over five chapters, this dissertation explores examples of commemorators’ efforts to select a representation of Roosevelt and reveals their use of his image as an example of rugged, vigorous masculinity as well as the embodiment of Americanism.
