Migrating Ministry: New Media Literacy And Christian Communication
Creators: name: Cole, Frederick
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: This thesis explores ways evangelical Christian communicators remediate traditional ministry functions and community formation onto new media platforms. This exploration is framed by a discussion of literacy and digital composing reflecting Stuart Selber?s multiliteracy approach to teaching digital composition. The author positions evangelical churches? approaches to texts, community, education, and communication as components of a distinct literacy that is often at odds with values, controls, and cultures found on the Internet and in new media. Discovering how church communicators use new media, how their education prepares them for effective digital communication, and how external sources, such as expert authors, aid the transition from print to new media helps us understand the gap between Selber?s ideal multiliteracy and the reality of new media literacy for this group. This also expands our understanding of digital composition, and the role it plays in both the classroom and in all students? greater lives.
"Nature gave a second groan": The Decay of Nature in Paradise Lost and Seventeenth-Century Discussion
Creators: name: Elliott, Mary Grace
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: The thesis investigates the role of nature in John Milton?s Paradise Lost. By looking at seventeenth-century texts concerning the decay of nature by Godfrey Goodman and George Hakewill, this thesis strives to determine how Milton?s poetry engaged in a contemporary debate. The thesis begins with an examination of Goodman and Hakewill?s texts alongside Milton?s On the Morning of Christ?s Nativity, Naturam Non Pati Senium, and Lycidas. The second and third parts of the thesis examine the role of nature in pre- and postlapsarian Eden in Milton?s epic, while keeping in mind the seventeenth-century debate explored in the first section.

The Rhetoric of Queer: Subverting Heteronormative Social Institutions and Creating New Meaning
Creators: name: Nolan, Marissa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: The word ?queer? generates mixed feelings. For some, it is a way to denigrate gays and lesbians, though, in recent years, those in LGBT communities have re-appropriated the term and have given it a more positive spin. This project aims to investigate exactly that kind of social action, specifically, looking at the way some take socially constructed norms and queer them in order to develop new meanings. First, this thesis explores how social norms impacted identity creation in ancient Rome and Greece. It then surveys the theories behind norms, along with their formation and maintenance in current society. Next, this project looks at queer theory and how norms have shaped the ways we build our identities, and vice versa. Finally, this research takes a rhetorical perspective by applying components of the canon to different elements of identity cultivation and presentation, with invention representing the former and delivery the latter.

Is Pinterest Really Killing Feminism?
Creators: name: Alford, Lauren
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: A response to the notion, popularized by Amy Odell?s article ?How Pinterest is Killing Feminism,? that the social media site Pinterest, which is dominated by female users, is detrimental both to the feminist movement and women in general. A definition of feminism, contrary to the one employed by Odell, is established and applied to Pinterest users and Pinterest content. Two forms of content prevalent on Pinterest, domestic content and ?thinspo? images, are evaluated in terms of their prevalence and how they are used on Pinterest and their overall effect on women and feminism. Betty Friedan?s The Feminine Mystique and Naomi Wolf?s The Beauty Myth are also employed to address Odell?s claims that Pinterest content is reminiscent of the ?retrograde, materialistic? content in women?s magazines.
'This World of Sorrow and Trouble': The Criminal Type of Oliver Twist
Creators: name: Samples, Megan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: This thesis looks at the criminals of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist as a criminal type: impoverished, unattractive people who lack family roots. It establishes connections between the criminal characters themselves as well as the real-world conditions which inspired their stereotypes.  The conditions of poverty and a lack of family being tied to criminality is founded in reality, while the tendency for criminals to be unattractive is based on social bias and prejudice.  It also identifies conflicting ideologies in the prevailing Victorian mindset that begins to emerge as a result of research into the criminal type.

Is Tomorrow Another Day? The Uncertain Implications of Scarlett's Life Decisions in Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind
Creators: name: Young, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Anyone who is familiar with Margaret Mitchell?s life and her novel, Gone with the Wind, should notice that Mitchell?s work in some fashion parallels events from her life.  Exactly how and why these parallels function, however, has been the subject for much scholarly debate.  In my thesis, I examine Mitchell?s biography to get closer to the truth of the events in her life up to the publication of her novel.  I then synthesize this information with a side-by-side analysis of some important figures in Mitchell?s life and characters from her novel; from there, I provide a feminist critique of selected characters, relationships between those characters, and scenes from the novel.  In particular, I focus upon Mitchell?s relationship with her mother, Maybelle, and how this relationship compares with Scarlett O?Hara?s relationship with her mother, Ellen.
Staff Management in the Writing Center: Theoretical and Practical Preparation for Administrators
Creators: name: Elmore, Kelly
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Though every writing center administrator (WCA) manages a staff, staff management is not widely studied in writing center scholarship. This thesis reports the results of a nationwide survey of WCAs? preparation for and experiences with staff management in writing centers. The data suggests that many new WCAs feel unprepared for staff management at the beginning of their administrative jobs. The data about WCA staff management beliefs is categorized into four themes: collaboration, empowerment, nurture, and authority. A disparity also seems to exist between the frequency of these themes in the participants? description of their beliefs and the frequency of the themes in their descriptions of their daily practices. This thesis indicates questions for further research into these findings and discusses why staff management should be of larger interest to the field of Writing Center Studies.
Awesome Inconsequence:  Critique of Modern Society through Apocalyptic Frivolity in the Early Novels of Waugh and Fitzgerald
Creators: name: Graves, Jessica
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: The early novels of both Evelyn Waugh and F. Scott Fitzgerald are beautiful works of moral decay ? sparkling facades disguising toxic skeletons of modern society ? yet their related semblances remain largely unexplored. Decline and Fall, Vile Bodies, A Handful of Dust, The Great Gatsby, This Side of Paradise, and The Beautiful and Damned are airy tomes of early twentieth century literature paradoxically heavy with the gravity of soulless society. They operate uniquely to each author through a signature moral relativism, attenuating the complex vagaries of American and English social stratification (and the brutal consequences of class rigidity), and ultimately signifying decentered societies pursuing their own destruction. In his early writing, Waugh?s satiric portrayal of British society ridicules progressive ideas, casting the behavior of the ?bright young things? celebrated in his society as lives filled with useless endeavors and distractions from meaningful life. Fitzgerald?s early works examine the relationships between American greed and status-seeking, money and decadence, moral bankruptcy and the social status of the young and socially privileged. Waugh favors complex modes of irony and artfully weaves in elements of the grotesque, while Fitzgerald favors symbologies and depth of character development to produce meditative missives, but the admonitions of the two authors embody the apprehension each feels for the future of his respective society: the crumbling of traditional values and moral substance and the abandonment of human depth. Both critique the moral decay of modern society which ignores investment in moral responsibility.
This study critically examines three early novels of each author from the perspective of how they use characterization for social critique, methods of conveyance, and signature literary techniques to advance their overarching themes, which parallel each other trans-continentally. Waugh consistently portrays moral carelessness in society with images of decay in situational irony and societal disintegration. Fitzgerald?s early work carries the same moral message Both authors acknowledge the reality of moral responsibility and juxtapose the gaiety of reckless youth with inevitable catastrophe in literary endings ? which ultimately serve as cautionary morality lessons applying to the broader attitude of modern society.

description: Background Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in industrialized countries. There is currently no direct relation between CHD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), one of the major modifiable risk factors for CHD. This study was carried out for genes expression profiling of T2D associated genes to identify related biological processes/es and modulated signaling pathway/s of male subjects with CHD. Method the subjects were divided into four groups based on their disease, including control, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), CHD, and CHD + T2D groups. The RNA was extracted from their blood, and RT2 Profiler™ PCR Array was utilized to determine gene profiling between groups. Finally, the PCR Array results were validated by using Q-RT-PCR in a more extensive and independent population. Result PCR Array results revealed that the T2D and T2D + CHD groups shared 11 genes significantly up-regulated in both groups. Further analysis showed that the mRNA levels of AKT2, IL12B, IL6, IRS1, IRS2, MAPK14, and NFKB1 increased. Consequently, the mRNA levels of AQP2, FOXP3, G6PD, and PIK3R1 declined in the T2D + CHD group compared to the T2D group. Furthermore, in silico analysis indicated 36 Gene Ontology terms and 59 signaling pathways were significantly enriched in both groups, which may be a culprit in susceptibility of diabetic patients to CHD development. Conclusion Finally, the results revealed six genes as a hub gene in altering various biological processes and signaling pathways. The expression trend of these identified genes might be used as potential markers and diagnostic tools for the early identification of the vulnerability of T2D patients to develop premature CHD.

subject: Music performance

description: This performance explored different forms of musical power and the effect on the audence when contradictory styles are brought together. Previously, my Noise compositions and my classical operatic works had always been written for mutually exclusive demographics. Both manipulate levels of audience attention, arousal and emotion - but through distinctly different menthods. Whilst opera draws of the metaphoric language of music, Noise avoids such traditions and is more alligned to a dramatic environment. By starting the piece in the latter territory it created a frame of reference where the audience felt amidst (and assaulted) by a brutal situation. In the absence of any musical "figure", the Noise created a dangerous "ground" whithin which the listener was located. As soon as Karen Knowles' operatic vocals entered, two things happened:
1. The power of cinematic history was brought to bear on the experience - we were suddenly being told by the classical music how to feel about a situation
2. the position of "figure" was taken back into the music - listeners becoming observers of someone else's violent plight, rather than the victims of it themselves. Whilst there was clear innovation in the fusing of these two genres, it was the identification of the shift from subjective to objective and the listeners' requisite move from fear to empathy which was revelatory for me.

Research questions:
- How (and how significantly) can a position of subjectivity be changed to objectivity when listening to a live piece of music?
- How fundamentally does the experience of environmental noise change when operatic vocals are incorporated into the mix? How does the integration of this antithetical element become perceptually integrated?
- How is this experienced when spread across 150 speakers in a live diffusion?

Core Endocrine Models I: A Graphic Causality System for Teaching Pancreatic and Adrenal Regulation
Creators: name: Mihăilă, Robert Ioan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Abstract  

This work extends the Graphic System for Teaching Physiological Causality to endocrinology, providing a standardized set of visual models for teaching hormonal regulation. Designed as a classroom-ready resource, it distills complex endocrine pathways—from glucose homeostasis to hypothalamic-pituitary axes—into intuitive radial diagrams that map causal relationships without theoretical jargon. Each figure follows three core rules: (1) parameters as bidirectional axes, (2) directional vectors for causal relationships, and (3) text boxes linked to the core construct via arrows for key pathological states. Ranging from basic (two-axis) to comprehensive (multi-axis and loop integrations), these diagrams offer a progressive learning scaffold to help students recognize regulatory patterns across endocrine systems. Building on the framework’s prior construction in physiology, this adaptation underscores its versatility as a domain-agnostic teaching tool.

A Plain Apology: Teaching Plain Style in First-Year Composition

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: A controversial institution from its inception, American higher education in the past decade has come under fire from scholars, college administrators, business leaders, and the U.S. Department of Education. These parties charge that our colleges and universities are underpreparing students for their professional lives, particularly in the areas of critical thinking and writing. I present the case that teaching the plain style of writing, in the vein of Orwell?s ?Politics and the English Language,? would improve both writing and thinking. I provide a sample plain-style pedagogy for first-year composition. I also examine a modern composition studies trend against plain style, and argue the motivations of this trend can be understood by looking at the history of rhetoric and prose.

description: Vineyard exposure to wildfire smoke can taint grapes and wine. To understand the impact of this taint, it is imperative that the analytical methods used are accurate and precise. This study compared the variance across nine commercial and research laboratories following quantitative analysis of the same set of smoke-tainted wines. In parallel, correlations between the interlaboratory consensus values for smoke-taint markers and sensory analyses of the same smoke-tainted wines were evaluated. For free guaiacol, the mean accuracy was 94 ± 11% in model wine, while the free cresols and 4-methylguaiacol showed a negative bias and/or decreased precision relative to guaiacol. Similar trends were observed in smoke-tainted wines, with the cresols and glycosidically bound markers demonstrating high variance. Collectively, the interlaboratory results show that data from a single laboratory can be used quantitatively to understand smoke-taint. Results from different laboratories, however, should not be directly compared due to the high variance between study participants. Correlations between consensus compositional data and sensory evaluations suggest the risk of perceivable smoke-taint can be predicted from free cresol concentrations, overcoming limitations associated with the occurrence of some volatile phenols, guaiacol in particular, as natural constituents of some grape cultivars and of the oak used for barrel maturation.

description: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are used for a variety of purposes. Especially the industrial or professional use of UAS will lead to an increasing number of possible applications. The steadily increasing number of drones raises the question of noise impact from these unmanned aircraft. Therefore, the German Environment Agency has started with acoustic investigations of drones. Various small UAS models (i.e. multicopter) were used in a measurements campaign. For example, overflights at different altitudes and speeds were measured. In addition, binaural measurements were performed to provide psychoacoustic findings. In this paper the measurements and results are presented. Overflight levels are compared with psychoa-coustic quantities such as loudness or sharpness. Likewise, conclusions are drawn for the evaluation of drone noise, which can be used for future regulations or standardization. © International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV), 2023
Re-Discovering Ethan Allen and Thomas Young's Reason the Only Oracle of Man: The Rise of Deism in Pre-Revolutionary America
Creators: name: Kolenda, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: In 1784, Ethan Allen (1738-1789), the leader of the Green Mountain Boys and legendary Revolutionary War hero, and his friend Thomas Young (1731-1777) published Reason the only Oracle of Man. In their opus, America?s premier text formally introducing Deism, Allen and Young systematically dismantle the ecclesiastical foundations of New England by specifically targeting the undemocratic principles of the Congregational Church. Allen and Young wrote Reason as a revolt against the encroaching ecclesiastical domination. The duo focused upon many topics central to the European Enlightenment: substance and matter, formation versus creation, immortality, the soul, the nature and motives of prophecy, and time and eternity. Thomas Young, a student of deism, mentored a teenage Allen and instilled in him a distinctly British ideology (one based on the writings of Charles Blount and John Locke) that, paired with Allen?s upbringing in an anti-Calvinist home, materialized into America?s premier deist text.

A Phrenological Assesment of Rebecca Harding Davis's Sketch, 'Blind Tom'
Creators: name: Davis, LeAnne
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: In this essay, I examine how the nineteenth-century cultural phenomenon of phrenology is made apparent in the abolitionist arguments of Rebecca Harding Davis?s ?Blind Tom? (1862), a nonfiction character sketch of the popular blind slave and idiot savant-musician. The first portion of my argument constructs a probable reality that allows for the influence of Davis?s exposure to phrenology first as a student, then later as a writer. I then perform a critical assessment of ?Blind Tom,? revealing how Davis relies upon phrenological terminology, such as that employed by famous phrenologist Orson Squire Fowler, in her descriptions of the musician?s physical appearance in order to call for his freedom, from not only slavery on the Georgian planation he called home, but also, from being paraded as an sideshow and a spectacle before audiences across America.
Breathing Machines, Patchwork Monsters and Mechanical Limbs: Steampunk and the Grotesque

description: Steampunk literature commonly focuses on improving, constructing, and reconstructing living bodies, through living machinery, vivisections, and other techno-fantastical experimentation.  These bodies are grotesque forms.  Focusing on various steampunk grotesque creations and creators, and exploring the audience relationship to the grotesque through an examination of the grotesque interval, this study aims to explore how steampunk authors use these grotesques to examine their own relationship with technology and scientific progress. ?Breathing Machines, Patchwork Monsters, and Mechanical Limbs: Steampunk and the Grotesque,? concludes by applying its analysis of the steampunk grotesque to the steampunk subculture, especially as this applies to costuming, art, music, and technology.

Kerouac's Dharma Bums (1958) & DeLillo's Americana (1971): An Investigation of the Influences of Media, Spatiality, & Buddhism on Selfhood in Mid-twentieth-century American Culture & Consciousness
Creators: name: Gregor, Alex
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: In Dharma Bums (1958), by Jack Kerouac, and Americana (1971), by Don DeLillo, the authors explore the complexity of selfhood as pertaining to individual identity and subjectivity in mid-twentieth century American culture and consciousness, paying specific attention to the relation that these concepts have with media, spatiality, and Buddhism. Although numerous critics provide extensive analyses of these texts, authors, and themes, no critic has paired these texts and authors, and investigated these particular themes in relation to selfhood. I argue that in Dharma Bums and Americana, Kerouac and DeLillo each investigate the influence of media, spatiality, and Buddhism on selfhood, as well as provide competing models of selfhood that offer either self-transformation or self-limitation.

Management of Chronic Musculoskeletal Disorders in the Workplace from the Perspective of Older Employees: A Mixed Methods Research Study
Creators: name: Skamagki, Glykeria
name: Carpenter, Christine
name: King, Andrew
name: Wåhlin, Charlotte
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2023

description: (1) Background: This mixed methods research (MMR) study explored older employees’ experiences of chronic musculoskeletal disorders (CMSDs) in relation to their employment, their perspectives on managing these conditions in the workplace and the strategies used to facilitate and maintain their roles and responsibilities. The services offered to them were also identified. (2) Methods: A mixed methods exploratory sequential design was implemented. In the first qualitative phase, 16 semi-structured interviews gathered in-depth information from older employees. The findings informed the development of an online questionnaire in the survey phase, which was administered to older employees (N = 107). Both sets of findings were then integrated using a narrative joint display. (3) Results: The phenomena of presenteeism and leaveism were important components of employees’ strategies for managing their condition. The integrated findings highlighted the roles of employers, managers and social support in encouraging disclosure and supporting the management of CMSDs. The results also emphasised how self-management and professional health services are crucial for sustaining employability. (4) Conclusions: Current challenges call for employers to identify effective ways to support the ageing workforce and invest in training opportunities for managers and collaborative opportunities with healthcare professionals and other stakeholders. A flexible, empathetic and resourceful work environment is optimal for supporting sustained employability for an ageing workforce.

Who's Afraid Of The Wicked Wit?: A Comparison Of The Satirical Treatment Of The University System In Terry Pratchett's Discworld And Evelyn Waugh's Decline And Fall
Creators: name: Wojciechowski, Mary Alice
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Terry Pratchett, author of the best-selling Discworld series, and winner of multiple literary awards, writes satirical fantasy for adults and children.  The academic community has been slow to accept Pratchett's work as worthy of notice.  Factors that contribute to this reticence include writing fantasy, writing for children, a high volume of work, and popularity in general society.  This thesis will provide a comparison between Pratchett's work and that of Evelyn Waugh by focusing on their academic satire, shedding new light on Pratchett's work from a literary perspective, thus lending greater value to his Discworld series as a collection of novels with measurable literary value to the academic community.
Representing the Past and Future Post-9/11 Manhattan: Jonathan Lethem's Chronic City and Colum McCann's Let the Great World Spin as Disavowing Fiction
Creators: name: Conley, Richard
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Jonathan Lethem?s 2009 novel Chronic City and Colum McCann?s 2009 novel Let the Great World Spin can each be read as unique forms of the post-9/11 novel. In this study, I take up the argument that much of the established scholarship analyzing post-9/11 fiction often examines the same set of texts and frequently employs similar theoretical lenses, more often than not a specific form of trauma analysis. I argue that McCann and Lethem?s novels can each be read as unique forms of the post-9/11 novel for the way each work incorporates the Freudian processes of fetishism and disavowal into their respective narratives. In two close readings, I analyze each text to demonstrate how these processes function and what they offer both the authors and readers of the novels.
Pleasure as Pathology: Trauma and Perversion in the Fiction of David Foster Wallace
Creators: name: Cofer, Erik
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Scholarship on David Foster Wallace understandably tends to focus on addiction in his novel Infinite Jest, as well as on his stated desire for a literary movement that transcends the recursive, ironic loop of the postmodern. This essay, however, explores issues of trauma and perversion in Wallace's fiction ? primarily beginning with Infinite Jest, chronologically speaking ? demonstrating Wallace's concern with the freedom of choice. A palpable friction exists between conservatism and sexual taboos, and this friction characterizes much, if not most, of Wallace's fictional oeuvre. A principally psychoanalytic reading of the sexual elements at play in Infinite Jest, as well as in several stories from Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and Oblivion, cultivates a more thorough understanding of the addiction theme present in his work.
The Remediation of Dumas Fils' La Dame aux Cam?lias
Creators: name: Guined, Brandi
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Alexandre Dumas fils' La Dame aux Cam?lias has existed in various media for more than 150 years, originating from life events that were mediated through the novel and remediated via theater, opera, and film. I examine in my thesis how this particular narrative has survived the centuries and how each depiction relates the social expectations, desires, and fears of the time period in which the revised story is generated. The relationship between Dumas and the famous courtesan Marie Duplessis and its fictional recreations in Dumas' novel La Dame aux Cam?lias, his play Camille, Giuseppe Verdi's opera La Traviata, and Baz Luhrmann's film Moulin Rouge! reflects a human compulsion to create narratives in order to grasp daily events and to potentially escape those events or comment upon those which do not fit concisely into their socially expected codes of understanding.
The Haunted Don's House:  Architectural Liminality, Socio-poltical Conservation and Burgeoning Modernism in Montague Rhodes James's "Episode of Cathedral History"
Creators: name: Townsend, Daniel
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis explores the use of architecture in the ghost story "Episode of Cathedral History" by Montague Rhodes James. The focus entails an examination of the architectural theories of John Ruskin, which impacted James's personal views on education, female empowerment, and Modernism. These views are reflected in "Episode of Cathedral History" as story elements that bear symbolic values that James hides under the auspices of entertainment for the purpose of creating a commentary and warning about the chaos of the emerging Modern world.
Postcolonial Trauma Narratives: Traumatic Historiography and Identity in Amitav Ghosh's The Calcutta Chromosome
Creators: name: Olive, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: The applicability of trauma studies within an examination of postcolonial literature has been a contested topic for scholars in both fields. Additionally, scholarship regarding Amitav Ghosh?s postcolonial science fiction novel The Calcutta Chromosome encourages various readings of the novel but does not currently offer a cohesive examination of all its thematic disciplines and stylistic elements. Through an examination of this postcolonial novel, I will provide a more holistic reading of the novel through an application of trauma studies that explores its representation of the internal postcolonial conflict regarding Western and non-Western historiographies. My analysis will focus on the lexical, character, and narrative levels of the novel through its dominant medical, technological, postcolonial, and political themes for inclusions of Caruth?s aporia related to the manifestation of trauma in literature.

Frankie goes to Hollywood: a comedy script
Creators: name: Batty, Craig
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: BACKGROUND TEXT is an independent refereed journal which publishes a wide range of research, reviews and debates on creative and professional writing and the teaching of writing in academic and industry contexts. In this work Batty combines his background as a screenwriter, script editor and script consultant with his curent role as academic teacher andreseacher. This parody script is inspired by scholarly work relating to the field of reality television. More specifically, it is a creative expression of arguments relating to the 'characterisation' of subjects, presenters and experts that were made in a recent scholarly book chapter by the author, for a collection entitled Celebrity Cultures and Real Lives. Drawing on the work of Beattie (2004), Lewis (2008), Thirkell (2010) et al., this work is situated within a creative space infused by film, television, media and cultural studies. CONTRIBUTION The book chapter that inspired this work is innovative in that it discusses how reality television shows are 'strategically' put together: how they are structured, cast, emotionally engineered, etc. No other scholarly work does this, from a practice-based point of view. The work here, then, is doubly innovative in that it interprets the scholarly ideas presented in a creative way. Academic arguments have been transformed into characters and action, and quotations used have been transformed into dialogue. SIGNIFICANCE This script is able to present research-informed ideas in a format that is both innovative (creative theory) and appealing to a wider audience (entertainment, not just critique). It creatively combines fiction with academic research, for both the overall concept (asking what does the script have to say) and the nuances of scene writing (looking at how quotations can be turned into dialogue). It argues for the creative expression of film, television, media and cultural studies in a form that is relevant to its arguments (i.e. parody).

Abjection and Empathy: The Shared Spaces and Blurred Boundaries of Infinite Jest
Creators: name: Washburn, Emily
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: In Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace positions abjection in opposition to empathy.  Both psychological phenomena derive from a relationship between two people, but abjection depends on a pushing away and empathy depends on a pulling toward.  The experience of either phenomenon results in a blurring of interpersonal boundaries, but there is no intimacy in abjection.  Instead, as made evident in the central family of Wallace?s novel, the result of abjection is that an individual retreats into the self, rejecting any attempt at intimacy that might be interpreted as an effort to breach autonomy.  This alienation is best countered by empathy, as modeled in Infinite Jest in the practice of ?Identification? in Alcoholics Anonymous.  To identify with a person is to empathize with him or her: to share perspective and emotion.  Empathy, unlike abjection, lasts only for a moment, allowing for the reinstatement of the boundaries of self.
The Nature of Religious Melancholy: Edward Taylor's Poetic Treatments of a 17th Century Epidemic
Creators: name: Johnson, Sheena
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Edward Taylor indicates an awareness of 17th century religious melancholy in his "Preparatory Meditations," but the minister is largely excluded from current discourse surrounding religious melancholy in Puritan communities. Taylor's presence in this conversation serves to further understanding of religious melancholy in America and also of the complex nature of the condition that is of interest at the present time. Through an analysis of dominant images of the conversion experience from Edward Taylor's poetry, this thesis argues that Taylor provides intimate knowledge of the nature of religious melancholy and also offers a treatment option for the ailing Puritan in the form of hope for salvation.
Emergent Disciplines and Cultural Divisions: Melvin Kranzberg's "Laws of Technology" and New Humanities
Creators: name: Sansbury, Matthew
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Dating back to the dialectic between Socrates and Plato, innovative technologies have disrupted the traditions of discourse and created cultural divisions relevant to composition studies. These conversations are echoed in the Twentieth Century through the work of Melvin Kranzberg. Looking to the future, he sought to record the history of technology to maintain the constant upsurge of innovation. Like Kranzberg?s history of technology, the field of rhetoric and composition and this thesis seek to define technology and understand its value in order to navigate and interrogate effectively the deluge of twenty-first-century new media. Kranzberg?like many scholars in computers and composition?utilized various rhetorics to advocate for technological literacy despite its unpopularity in the academy.
