In her own time, Herbert was recognized as an important literary figure, but her work has been undervalued by scholars who represent it as an extension of her brother's. Herbert wrote more than two-thirds of the poetry in the Sidney Psalmes, a text that served as a model of versification for poets like John Donne, but until the feminist movement of the late twentieth century, Herbert's role in publishing Sir Philip Sidney's poetry, literary theory, and prose fiction overshadowed her own work as a writer and patron for most critics.; Herbert's editorial control and revisions of her brother's texts aroused deep-seated cultural anxieties in some scholars, whose representations of Herbert minimize her achievements and her abilities. This dissertation analyzes constructions of Herbert and Sidney, including their own, to identify rhetorical strategies and critical approaches that either authorize or deny authority to a subject's public speech. The centrality of the single-author paradigm to literary scholarship contributes to under-representation of women's roles in early modern textual production. While gender policing of authorship during this period was strict, women could and did affect textual constructions of meaning in their roles as patrons as well as through their own writing.; One of the first women in early modern England to publish her work under her own name, Herbert modeled ways of circumventing restrictions on women's public discourse. She also helped shape the British literary tradition through her representations of Sidney. As Michel Foucault argues, the figure of "author" as a cultural construct circumscribes textual meaning. Through her use of cultural myth, which Roland Barthes identifies with ideology, Herbert redefined Sidney as a cultural icon, associating his name with the British aristocratic ideal in ways that validated the privilege of the hierarchical class structure. Approaches that analyze the ways in which texts circulate as signs in what Barthes describes as a "second-order signifying system" helpfully complement critical focus on textual production and authorship.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 253-276).; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 276 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20589 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Perkins, Joan http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20588 Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; The story is loosely based on the life of Juan Luna, the celebrated nineteenth-century Filipino painter who murdered his wife and mother-in-law at the height of his career in Paris. Juan Luna came of prominence at a point in Philippine history where Filipinos first began to think of themselves as a nation, not just Spanish subjects, and he confounded the institutionalized racism of the Spanish in the Philippines to achieve artistic recognition both at home and in Europe as one of the most talented painters of his generation. Although he was tried for the killings, he was acquitted and set free.; This is a novel in the form of narrative poetry. The narrative tells the story of Miguel Rubio, mestizo (mixed race) son of a sugar plantation owner in the Philippines in the 1800s who yearns to go to Europe to study painting. However, once Miguel reaches Europe, he feels a sense of conflict within himself about his identity and a persistent feeling of "unbelonging." After finding success in Madrid he moves to Paris, where he falls in love with and marries a sheltered, asthmatic French girl, Ines, even though her mother objects to his mixed-race heritage. They have a son, Angel, but when he dies Miguel blames his wife for not taking care of the child. He becomes angry and depressed and attends a seance, and Ines feels isolated and ignored. Alter attending a lecture by Dr. Charcot, which features a woman patient as an exhibit, she decides to have her portrait painted so that her husband will once again acknowledge her. But when her nude portrait is exhibited at the Salon, it becomes a scandal and Miguel is humiliated. She goes away to a sanatorium where, feeling more lost, she has an affair with a doctor. Miguel is enraged and, suspecting that his wife has had an affair with the portrait painter, considers killing him, but instead decides to take Ines away from the corruption of Paris and return to the Philippines. When she defies him he kills her and is tried for her murder.; Includes bibliographical references.; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 83 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20588 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Ottiger, Lisa http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20587 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; 82 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20587 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Conner, Thomas http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20586 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references.; xii, 79 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20586 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Burzynski, John K http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20585 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; iii, 102 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20585 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Ontai, Krystalynn H http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20584 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references.; xvi, 64 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20584 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Yamasawa, Jill Y http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20583 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; iv, 81 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20583 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Williams, Tracey Lee http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20582 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references.; iv, 66 leaves, bound 29 cm Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20582 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z Picard, Tiare L http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20581 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.; vi, 48 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20581 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Oishi, Ryan http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20580 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2007.; ii, 156 leaves, bound 29 cm Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20580 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Sheldon, Kyle http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20579 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2007.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 67-68).; "Narrative poem based on the history of Elmina Castle, Ghana.

It examines where articulations of ethnicity have led as the country has joined the ranks of newly industrialized economies. It points to issues of class and gender in the stories of how Malaysians see themselves. This small corpus of life writing, expressed in several different genres, suggests that the contest for hegemony once waged by waves of colonizers and centered on the key ports of Melaka, Penang, and Singapore is today a contest waged largely within national borders for the right to frame identity as citizens. The maritime traffic that brought Chinese and Indians in large numbers to serve the needs of a colonial economy created a diaspora space in which new immigrants encountered those already there and raised questions about who belonged and who did not. That need led to a conversation started by the departing British colonial government and the middle class elites to whom it relinquished power in 1957. It is a conversation that continues to this day, but its tone has changed, becoming more ethnocentric and more subject to intrusive attempts by the state to control public discourse. Racial polarization and a more authoritarian state have not helped provide answers to questions of identity and belonging that are satisfactory to descendants of immigrants for whom Malaysia has been, for several generations, the only place they consider home.; This is a study of nation, race, and identity in Malaysia through a number of life writing texts. The texts examined are written works as well as independent films and visual culture expressed through the mass media and the internet. These works explore the framing of identity in the Malay States from colonial times to the present and offer fresh perspectives on what it means to be Malaysian in ways that challenge state prescriptions and suggest that the nation is still very much a work in progress. They also call into question Euro-centric ideas about what constitutes a national identity and how nations emerge.; Includes bibliographical references (leaves xxx-xxx).; Also available by subscription via World Wide Web; 281 leaves, bound 29 cm Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20578 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Morais, Claire Dawn http://hdl.handle.net/10125/20370 Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.
