AESTHETIC EXCUSES AND MORAL CRIMES: THE CONVERGENCE OF MORALITY AND AESTHETICS IN NABOKOV”S LOLITA by JENNIFER ELIZABETH GREEN Under the Direction of Paul Schmidt ABSTRACT This thesis examines the debate between morality and aesthetics that is outlined by Nabokov in Lolita’s afterword. Incorporating a discussion of Lolita’s critical history in order to reveal how critics have chosen a single, limited side of the debate, either the moral or aesthetic, this thesis seeks to expose the complexities of the novel where morality and aesthetics intersect. First, the general moral and aesthetic features of Lolita are discussed. Finally, I address the two together, illustrating how Lolita cannot be categorized as immoral, amoral, or didactic. Instead, it is through the juxtaposition of form and content, parody and reality, that the intersection of aesthetics and morality appears, subverting and repudiating the voice of its own narrator and protagonist, evoking sympathy for an appropriated and abused child, and challenging readers to evaluate their own ethical boundaries.

  • Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock
    ABSTRACT A Dark Mirror: Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock Director: Dr. Lynne Hinojosa, Ph.D. Stephen King is well known for popular horror fiction but has recently been addressed more thoroughly by literary critics. While most studies focus on horror themes and the relationships between various characters, this thesis explores the importance of the author characters in three works by Stephen King: Misery, The Dark Half, and The Shining. The introduction gives a background of Stephen King as an author of popular horror fiction and discusses two themes that are connected to his author characters: doppelgängers and duality, and the idea of the death of the author. The death of the author is the idea that an author's biography should not affect the interpretation of a text. Implicit in this idea is the notion that the separation of an author from his work makes the text more literary and serious. The second chapter on Misery explores the relationship between the author and the readership or fans and discusses Stephen King’s divide caused by his split between his talent as an author of popular fiction and a desire to be a writer of literary fiction. The third chapter concerning The Dark Half explores Stephen King’s use of the pseudonym Richard Bachman and the splitting this created within himself and the main character of his novel. The last chapter includes discussion of The Shining and the author character’s split in personality caused by alcohol and supernatural sources. Studying the author characters and their doppelgängers reveals the unique stance King takes on the “death of the author” idea and shows how he represents the splitting of the self within his works.

Letters to however many Mr. Fetzer cites. as the photographic evidence is being used to clarify situations where the eyewitnesses contradict each other. He poses the situation as one in which the eyewitnesses ■ the report one thing, and the photographic evidence shows something else, which 1 consider to be a dishonest presentation of the matter. In point of fact, the Warren Commission took shaky eyewitnesses like Howard Brennan and Helen Markham seriously, Chronicles while ignoring most of the photographic evidence. Mr. Fetzer assumes that those who disagree with him are relying solely on a set of Zapruder frames at the National Archives. while in fact I and others have consulted at least three separate complete frame sets, only one of them being at the Archives.

Mr. Fetzer has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. on the Zapruder Film: From my prior writings, it should have been apparent that I was consulting multiple sources, but he apparently is more interested in criticizing my "shoddy research" than in reading it.

  • Gravel Roads Construction and Maintenance Guide Table of Contents Subject Page
    Errata ­ Replaces page 137 Reconstruction Using a Detour When the reconstruction and resulting berm are significant, the work space takes all or most of the road surface, leaving no room for traffic to negotiate past the work activities. An agency may need to reconstruct the unpaved roadway by correcting the drainage and/or adding surface materials. With this type of work, additional equipment may be used and a large amount of material may create a large berm (12 inches or more across). This will present significant hazards for the traveling public. To improve safety for mo­ torists and workers, a detour may be the best TTC. Not all road users will be familiar with the local road system and some may be confused by the road closure, so signing should be used to assist users negotiating the detour. Reconstruction work space. (Source: Greg Vavra, SDLTAP). Notes: 1. Not all local agencies use route makers for their system. MUTCD Section 6F.59 states “A Street Name sign should be placed above, or the street name should be incorporated into, a DETOUR (M4­9) sign to indicate the name of the street being detoured.” 2. With an increase in traffic at the intersections where the detour begins and ends, a review of the usage of the STOP and YIELD signs should be completed. 3. Flashing warning lights and/or flags may be used to call attention to advance warning signs. 4. Flashing warning lights may be used on the Type 3 Barricades, which should be installed at the point where the road is closed.

  • By Stephen King (Discussion Questions)
    11/22/1963 By Stephen King (Discussion Questions) About the Author: Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947 and grew up in Durham, Maine. He attended the University of Maine at Orono, where he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, The Maine Campus. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate, and supporting the anti-war movement. King graduated from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, with a B.A. in English. He married Tabitha Spruce in 1971. King sprang onto the literary scene with the publication of Carrie (Doubleday, 1974) which was later made into a movie. The success of Carrie allowed him to leave his high school teaching position and write full-time. Other bestselling novels followed including The Shining, The Stand and The Dead Zone. Stephen King is known as a prolific writer of horror, suspense, science fiction and fantasy. His books have sold more than 350 million copies worldwide and many of his literature has been adapted to the screen and television. As of 2011, he had written and published 49 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman, five non-fiction books, and nine collections of short stories. Book Summary: Winner, 2012 Thriller Award for Best Novel Dallas, 11/22/63: Three shots ring out. President John F. Kennedy is dead. Life can turn on a dime—or stumble into the extraordinary, as it does for Jake Epping, a high school English teacher in a Maine town. While grading essays by his GED students, Jake reads a gruesome, enthralling piece penned by janitor Harry Dunning: fifty years ago, Harry somehow survived his father’s sledgehammer slaughter of his entire family.

  • Behavioral Standard Operating Procedures
    Behavioral Standard Operating Procedures Non-Human Primate SOPs Standard Operating Procedures in non-human primate components of INIAstress Endocrine Profiling with Pharmacological Challenges: Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) Challenge. This test assesses adrenocortical secretion of cortisol to exogenous ACTH after endogenous HPA activity has been suppressed by overwhelming negative feedback achieved with a large dose of dexamethasone. Following an overnight fast the animals will be administered dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg im). Four to six hours later, during the maximum dexamethasone suppression of adrenal activity, a blood sample will be taken for baseline measures of cortisol and the animals will be administered the ACTH challenge (Cortrosyn, 10 ng/kg iv). Blood samples will then be taken at 15 and 30 min following ACTH infusion. Peak concentration and area under the curve measure of cortisol indicate adrenal responsiveness to ACTH stimulation (Kaplan et al., 1986) Dexamethasone Suppression. The purpose of this test is to assess the sensitivity of the hypothalamus and pituitary to negative feedback from circulating levels of cortisol (Davidson et al., 1989; Mossman and Somoz, 1989). Since dexamethasone binds with great affinity to the cortisol receptor it is used in relatively small amounts to test the sensitivity to negative feedback. A morning (8:00 am) blood sample is taken for a baseline measure of cortisol. That evening (10:00 pm) a low dose (130 ug/kg im) of dexametha sone is administered. The next morning (8:00 am) another blood sample is taken for cortisol assay. The difference between the first and second morning cortisol concentrations is used as an indicator of sensitivity to negative feedback (Kalin and Takasheki, 1988).

  • Identifying First Editions (Updated 2018) the Table Below Lists the First Trade
    Identifying first editions (updated 2018) Compiled by Bev Vincent with the assistance of materials made available by Rich DeMars, John Mastrocco, Steve Oelrich and Shaun Nauman. E-mail corrections or questions to [email protected] The table below lists the first trade edition identification criteria for each of Stephen King's books. The early Doubleday books all say "First Edition" explicitly on the copyright page (CP). There are other identifiers for these books as well. For books that contain strings of numbers to denote the printing, the important consideration is the presence of the numeral 1 in that string, regardless of the format of the numbers. Some possible variations of the printing numbers are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 All three of these denote a first edition. The numeral 1 will be removed for a second printing. Black House is the exception. First edition copies state "First Edition" on the copyright page and the number sequence will be "2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3". Trim size is given because Book Club editions are often smaller than trade editions. Also, Book Club edition dust jackets (DJ) are occasionally found on first editions to replace lost or damaged jackets. Book Club edition dust jackets are easily identified because they do not have a price marked inside the front cover. Later printing trade edition dust jackets will often have a different price from what is found in the table.
