Implications of Friendship on Female Self-identity in Young Adult Literature(2008-12) Compton, Lacy Ann; Jones, Caroline; Olson, Marilynn; Ledbetter, KathrynUnderstanding one’s self-identity is a key part of adolescence, especially for girls. But what external factors determine one’s self-perception? By examining the works of five mass-market young adult authors, Ann Brashares, Meg Cabot, E. Lockhart, Cynthia Voigt, and Cecily von Ziegesar, evidence suggests that friends and peers influence a girl’s self-understanding and subjectivity through ritual, shared environment, language, objectification and acceptance or denial of change in the relationship. This paper also looks at key theories of literature, including panopticism, subjectivity and the problem novel in their relation to mass-market literature for girls.Item A Grandiose Reality: Addiction and Technical Communication in the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game(2013-05) Bishop, Sarah E.; Allison, Libby; Balzhiser, Deborah; Zhu, PinfanNo abstract prepared.Item A Lineage of Embodied Intergenerational Trauma: Cultural Productions for Mexican-American Children since the Golden Age of Children's Literature(2021-12) Flores, Juan Antonio; Ramírez, Sara; Rosenberg, Teya; Gano, Geneva M.; Sivashankar, NithyaNo abstract prepared.Item A Multicultural Perspective of Home in Novels by Toni Morrison, Louise Erdrich, and Marilynne Robinson(2008-05) Behrens, Sherrah; Leder, Priscilla; Cohen, Robin; Evans, PatriciaNo abstract prepared.Item A Narrative Exploration: The Role of Reflection in a Graduate Student's Acculturation Into an M.A. in Rhetoric and Composition Program(2015-06) Downs, Jeffery; Jackson, Rebecca; Wilson, Nancy; Leake, EricNo abstract prepared.Item A Place of One's Own: Space, Trauma, and Sexuality in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway(2017-05) Rutledge, Thais; Tally, Robert T.; Grayson, Nancy J.; Smith, Victoria L.No abstract prepared.Item A Reflection on Values: Examining the Creation of First Year English Writing Prompts(2008-08) McCulley, Mary E.; Jackson, Rebecca; Morton, Deb; Rosenberg, TeyaNo abstract prepared.Item A Study of Byron's Expressions of Melancholy(1950-08) Brown, Evelyn Key; Derrick, Leland; Hahn, Cecil; Wright, L.N.No abstract prepared.Item A Study of Chaucer's Characters(1941-05) Snyder, Doris P.; Wright, L.W.; Snellings, D.A.No abstract prepared.Item A Study of the Good in Selected Novels of Iris Murdoch(1969-01) Sigle, Bobbie Jenson; Houston, Ralph; Stone, Jerome; Grayson, NancyNo abstract prepared.Item A Swan in a Duck Yard, or, How Hans Christian Andersen Revealed the True Story of His Life in His Fairy Tales(1938-08) McCollum, Kenneth DillardNo abstract prepared.Item A Synthesis of the Various Structural Analyses of A tale of a Tub(1970-08) Batchelor, Sally AnnNo abstract prepared.Item A Translation of Four American Short Stories Into French(1951-05) Bernheim, Nicole; Wright, Leonard N.; Read, J.
