Among her many contributions to this campus’s intellectual life, she was instrumental in co- founding USF’s Center for Teaching Excellence. Tracy, to those of us who knew her, was also a powerful mentor, whose candor and humor and insight positively impacted colleagues and students alike. She was univer- sally respected here, and the renaming of USF’s Center for Teaching Ex- cellence in her honor is but one way we recognize her contributions; the powerful and poignant celebration held in her honor among colleagues in Fall 2016 was another; and the dedication of this issue to her memory likewise seeks to keep her works and days foremost in our hearts. Notes on the Selection and Publication Process This issue, as with all thirteen of its predecessors, is the result of a com- petitive selection process. Each year the WRW publication committee issues a call for students to submit their top two papers in May. More than twenty faculty and librarian readers, in service to the university, then spend about three weeks anonymously scoring the work. Natu- rally, all reviewers agree to recuse themselves if they recognize their own students’ work. Everything here in print—and every honorable men- tion—received high marks from at least four faculty or librarian review- ers. From our many submissions this year we selected ten works. No- tifi cations were issued in June, after which the authors were invited to revise and polish their work before resubmitting manuscripts in August. Student copyeditors in my RHET 325/ENGL 325 course then took over in August and helped lay out and revise every page of this book throughout the fall. To my staff of ace copyeditors who pored over ev- ery sentence you’re about to read, I owe a great debt. They truly helped professionalize this book, and many of them will be compassionately wielding red pens in editorial capacities in the future. 8 WRITING FOR A REAL WORLD Notes on This Year’s Publications First and foremost, we congratulate Adrian Bihun, winner of the Fr. Urban Grassi, S.J., Award for Eloquentia Perfecta for his top-scoring entry, “Dejima and Japan’s Trepidatious Relationship with the West.” Written for Professor Glyn Redworth’s history course at Oxford, which Adrian took during his study abroad program in association with USF’s St. Ig- natius Institute, Adrian’s work offers an insightful analysis of Japan’s ill- fated attempts to thwart European infl uence. It’s an outstanding essay, carefully researched. (It was also, I must say, a pleasure to work closely with Adrian in preparing this piece for publication.) Following Adrian’s piece we present Mindie Bernard’s outstanding essay, “Gendering Violence in the Bosnian War.” Written for Professor Filip Kovacevic’s Politics and Change in East-Central Europe course, Mindie’s research offers a powerful reminder of how nationalism and hypermasculinity combined to catastrophic effect in the Balkans in the 1990s. Next we offer Luis Camacho’s “Can Motivated Cognition Exacer- bate a Bias?” Written for Professor Saera Khan’s Advanced Research Methods class, this research makes a strong contribution to sociolin- guistics, especially in terms of perceptions of stereotypes in accented English. Following Luis’s piece is Alex Casey’s “Transgender Migration and the Movement of the Body,” springing from an analysis of Thomas McBee’s novel Man Alive. Professor Christina Garcia Lopez has high praise for Alex’s work in her introduction, and I echo her sentiments here. Dai Guerra’s “Stigma, Abuse, and Mental Health in the Transgender Population,” written for Professor Kevin Chun’s Critical Diversity Stud- ies capstone project, offers not just important insights on transgender research, but also valuable advice to the USF community. Moving from Psychology to Art + Architecture, we are happy to print Akana Jayewardene’s senior thesis, “Twenty-fi rst Century Place- making: Finding a Sense of Home in a Super-modernized, Hyperglobal- ized World,” which explores San Francisco from numerous perspectives. 9 WRITING FOR A REAL WORLD Her work was conducted at the fascinating intersection of philosophy and architectural theory. Professor Tanu Sankalia and Professor Ron Sundstrom are also credited for having encouraged the interdisciplinary cooperation that led to Akana’s fi ne work. Our seventh essay, “Shared Experiences of Multiethnic Children in Stealing Buddha’s Dinner,” by Paula Mirando, was written for Professor Christina Garcia

Diverse peoples acquired economic and political hegemony, they imposed laws, customs and artistic models which merged with pre-existing backgrounds and styles which then expanded throughout Northern European and African countries. Ideas from the East, such as science, religion and artistic models, fil- tered throughout the Mediterranean. Nomadic populations reached Mediterranean shores and so cultures and customs were brought to- gether for several centuries in a relatively small circle. It was on the edges of the Mediterranean where the two fundamental ideas of gar- den design, the formal and the informal, were created and confronted each other. Here, the garden became the idealization of a perfect and immutable world, the mimesis of nature.

    THE NEW WORLD MYTHOLOGY IN ITALIAN EPIC POETRY: 1492-1650 by CARLA ALOÈ A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Italian Studies School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT My thesis explores the construction of the New World mythology as it appears in early modern Italian epic poems. It focuses on how Italian writers engage with and contribute to this process of myth-creation; how the newly created mythology relates to the political, social and cultural context of the time; and investigates extent to which it was affected by the personal agendas of the poets. By analysing three New World myths (Brazilian Amazons, Patagonian giants and Canadian pygmies), it provides insights into the perception that Italians had of the newly discovered lands in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, as well as providing a greater understanding of the role that early modern Italy had in the ‘invention’ of the Americas.

(Signature) of Hispanic and Italian Studies Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date October 17, 1994 DE.6 (2/88) ABSTRACT The vision of a beautiful garden has been a constant in man's imagination. Within the Judeo-Christian tradition, that vision was manifest as a longing for a return to the primeval paradise. Throughout the ages, this longing has found expression in art and literature and very often, the image of the garden has become associated, and even synonymous, with Heaven itself. In the Spanish literature of the late Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Baroque, the image of the garden as "hortus conclusus" enjoyed wide popularity.

  • An Inquiry Into Surrealism in The
    LANDSCAPES OF REVELATION: AN INQUIRY INTO SURREALISM IN THE LANDSCAPE by MICAH S. LIPSCOMB (Under the Direction of Judith Wasserman) ABSTRACT This thesis explores landscapes in which visitors can become emotionally and perceptually disoriented and imagine they are in a dream-like space. The surreal landscapes discussed range from an Italian Renaissance garden, to contemporary landscapes designed by professionals, to environments created by visionary artists. These diverse landscapes share elements of the art and literary movement of surrealism, especially their goal of eliciting revelations. The purpose of this thesis is three-fold: first, to analyze the techniques and forms that help create a surreal landscape; second, to elucidate the relationship between surrealism and landscape architecture; and third, to demonstrate the relevance of some of the ideas of surrealism to contemporary landscape architecture.

  • Performance and Visual Culture in Etruria: 7Th 2Nd Century BC
    Performance and Visual Culture in Etruria: 7th - 2nd Century BC Stephanie Anne Layton Marietta, Georgia Bachelor of Arts, The George Washington University, 2003 Master of Arts, Florida State University, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McIntire Department of Art University of Virginia December 2013 © Copyright by Stephanie Anne Layton All rights Reserved December 2013 Abstract The Etruscan iconographic record is the primary source of information regarding performance activities, which include dance, music, gaming, ritual, spectacle, and athletics. In this study, performance theory is used as a framework for analyzing Etruscan material culture related to emically constructed and provisionally identified performance activities and ascertaining their meaning. Although evidence for Etruscan cultural activity, beliefs, and social interaction is limited, especially given the paucity of textual information, the application of performance theory to the archaeological record provides a means to analyze public and private transmission of messages, relationships, experiences, and cultural behaviors primarily in funerary and civic contexts. Although numerous Etruscan performances have been investigated individually by prior scholarship, performance theory has not been previously applied to Etruscan art and architecture and, therefore, this work takes a new approach towards the analysis of the archaeological record. Evidence included in this study dates between the 8th -2nd centuries BC and consists of wall painting, painted and relief vase decoration, stone and terracotta relief sculpture, engraved gems, and bronze mirrors, decorative attachments, figurines, and vessels. It is only through the study of such varied materials from a wide chronological range that a more complete understanding of Etruscan performance emerges.

  • Lena Henke's Sculptures Propose New Manners of Dwelling and Co
    Casting Call LENA HENKE’s sculptures propose new manners of dwelling and co-existence by Laura McLean-Ferris frieze no.194 128 april 2018 Henke_frieze194-v2.indd 128 14/03/2018 16:42 When a garment – let’s say a shirt – seems to overpower a person, the insult goes: ‘That shirt is wearing you.’ This light put-down describes a struggle for presence between the wearer and the worn. But what other objects are wear- ing you, dominating you, casting you to work for them? The sculptures of New York-based German artist Lena Henke are typified by an apprehension of site and occupancy and the quiet tug-of-war between personality and control. Ranging from table-top models of cities and buildings through human-scale sculptures to larger architectural interventions in public space, Henke’s work proposes a built environment that might suit her better. The artist displays a particular fondness for outdoor sculpture, the history of urban planning and natural- artificial features such as the grotto. She wrangles with the materials, designs, palette and tools that construct our fabricated environment, employing them to suggest other possibilities. Why do we have to live in a world that looks and feels like this one? It’s a question Henke has explored most directly in relation to the city of New York, where she relocated after completing her studies at the Städelschule in Frankfurt. Coincidentally, she arrived in the city at the same time as I did, in 2013. I’ve never perceived anywhere as completely fabricated as New York: whenever I walk near the intersection of Broadway and Lafayette Avenue, the landscape reminds me of a film set, an entirely constructed surface with shallow roots, populated by character actors.
