  • Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature
    PAYING ATTENTION TO PUBLIC READERS OF CANADIAN LITERATURE: POPULAR GENRE SYSTEMS, PUBLICS, AND CANONS by KATHRYN GRAFTON BA, The University of British Columbia, 1992 MPhil, University of Stirling, 1994 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Kathryn Grafton, 2010 ABSTRACT Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature examines contemporary moments when Canadian literature has been canonized in the context of popular reading programs. I investigate the canonical agency of public readers who participate in these programs: readers acting in a non-professional capacity who speak and write publicly about their reading experiences. I argue that contemporary popular canons are discursive spaces whose constitution depends upon public readers. My work resists the common critique that these reading programs and their canons produce a mass of readers who read the same work at the same time in the same way. To demonstrate that public readers are canon-makers, I offer a genre approach to contemporary canons that draws upon literary and new rhetorical genre theory. I contend in Chapter One that canons are discursive spaces comprised of public literary texts and public texts about literature, including those produced by readers. I study the intertextual dynamics of canons through Michael Warner’s theory of publics and Anne Freadman’s concept of “uptake.” Canons arise from genre systems that are constituted to respond to exigencies readily recognized by many readers, motivating some to participate. I argue that public readers’ agency lies in the contingent ways they select and interpret a literary work while taking up and instantiating a canonizing genre.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

DOUG K. HANDSHOE, Defendant. * * * * * * * * * * * * * SUPPLEMENTAL REPLY MEMORANDUM OF DEFENDANT, DOUGLAS K. HANDSHOE MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT: This Supplemental Memorandum is submitted by defendant, Douglas K. Handshoe (“Handshoe”), in reply to the Memorandum in Opposition to Motion for Summary Judgment, which was filed by the plaintiffs, Trout Point, Vaughn Perret, and Charles Leary (collectively, “Trout Point”). As previously discussed in defendant’s Reply Memorandum, the parties agreed that this dispute would focus on pure questions of law, rather than specific facts, and would be resolved solely on motions for summary judgment. Still, as pointed out in defendant’s Reply Memorandum, plaintiffs have focused a great deal of their arguments on facts. Because of plaintiffs’ harping on the facts, defendant feels compelled to provide the court with factual points as well. Thus, this supplemental memorandum will focus on revealing the factual bases for defendant’s allegedly defamatory statements. Case 1:12-cv-00090-LG-JMR Document 27 Filed 08/06/12 Page 2 of 10 Plaintiffs repeatedly point to the assertion that in the Canadian adjudication, they proved that the statements made about them were false. Specifically, they state in their Response to Memorandum in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment that plaintiffs have clearly demonstrated that the statements were false and defamatory.
