    On the Aesthetics of Music Video Christopher J ames Emmett Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD. I he University of Leeds, School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies. October 2002 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy lias been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. Contents Acknowledgements Abstract Introduction 1: Fragments 2: Chora 3: The Technological Body Conclusion Appendix: Song Lyrics Transcription Bibliography Acknowledgements The bulk of the many thanks owed by me goes first to the University of Leeds, for the provision of a University Research Scholarship, without which I would have been unable to undertake the studies presented here, and the many library and computing facilities that have been essential to my research. A debt of gratitude is also owed to my supervisor Dr. Barbara Engh, whose encouragement and erudition, in a field of interdisciplinary research that demands a broad range of expertise, and I have frequently demanded it, has been invaluable. Mention here should also be made of Professor Adrian Rifkin, whose input at the earliest stage of my research has done much to steer the course of this work in directions that only a man of his breadth of knowledge could have imagined. Thanks also to the administrative staff of the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies, in particular Gemma Milburn, whose ever available assistance has helped to negotiate the many bureaucratic hurdles of the last four years, and kept me in constant touch with a department that has undergone considerable upheaval during recent years.

    ONE TRACK MIND by Joel David Kassay A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida August 2003 ONE TRACK MIND by Joel David Kassay This thesis was prepared under the direction of the candidate's thesis advisor, Dr. Jason Schwartz, Department of English, and has been approved by the members of his supervisory committee. It was submitted to the faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and was accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Date 11 ABSTRACT Author: Joel David Kassay Title: One Track Mind Institution: Florida Atlantic University Advisor: Dr. Jason Schwartz Degree: Master of Fine Arts Year: 2003 One Track Mind is a world wherein characters, driven by their unique, individual sexualities, are both prey and companionship for each other. The resulting, incessant shifting between cooperation and competition comprises the dramatic action of the stories. However, more dramatic than much of the action are the stylistic shifts of narration-both within and among the stories. This diversity of narrative style, much more so than invocation of place-names, describes and defines the myriad landscapes of the world of One Track Mind: serene and absurd, lush and sparse, sincere and sardonic. 111 Table of Contents Quondam Quarry ..................................................................................................... 1 Because Sometimes Awakenings Come Right on Time Like Trains .................... 24 Cure for Insomnia .................................................................................................. 3 7 Another Encounter ................................................................................................. 41 The Girl Who Took to Practicing Dying ..............................................................

  • Constitutional Theory: Schmitt After Derrida
    Constitutional Theory: Schmitt after Derrida This book advances a new reading of the central works of Carl Schmitt and, in so doing, rethinks the primary concepts of constitutional theory. In this book, Jacques de Ville engages in a close analysis of a number of Schmitt’s texts, including Dictatorship (1921), The Concept of the Political (1927), Constitutional Theory (1928), Land and Sea (1942), Ex Captivitate Salus (1950), The Nomos of the Earth (1950) and The Theory of the Partisan (1963). This engagement takes place from the perspective of constitutional theory and focuses specifically on concepts or themes such as sovereignty, the state, the political, constituent power, democracy, representation, the constitution and human rights. The book seeks to rethink the structure of these concepts in line with Derrida’s analysis of Schmitt’s texts on the concept of the political in Politics of Friendship (1993). This happens by way of an analysis of Derrida’s engagement with Freud and other psychoanalysts. Although the main focus in the book is on Schmitt’s texts, it further examines two texts of Derrida (Khōra (1993) and Fors: The Anglish Words of Nicholas Abraham and Maria Torok (1976)), by reading these alongside Schmitt’s own reflections on the positive concept of the constitution. Jacques de Ville is Professor of Law at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa.

THE LIFE AND SONGWRITING OF VIC CHESNUTT A Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Southern Studies The University of Mississippi by John Hermann May 2014 Copyright © 2014 by John Hermann All rights reserved ABSTRACT This thesis is an exploration of the life and music of Vic Chesnutt, and it accompanies a documentary film. Both components feature interview excerpts from over 30 hours of film footage with Chesnutt, as interspersed with archival documents of his life, along with dozens of interviews with his family, friends, peers, music writers, and bandmates. Chesnutt’s story can only be properly told through the lens of southern culture. He was not just a charter member of an international group, but a southern songwriter whose rural Georgia upbringing was paramount to his work. He has often been compared in music journals to the southern gothic schoolmates of William Faulkner, Flannery O’Connor, and Carson McCullers, placing his songs in the context of southern writers.
