Chambless, Cathleen F. "Nec(Romantic)." FIU Digital Commons, 2015. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/1933.
Full textAbstract:
NEC(ROMANTIC) is a poetry collection thematically linked through images of insects, celestial bodies, bones, and other elements of the supernatural. These images are indicative of spells, but the parenthesis around romantic in the collection’s title also implies idealism. The poems explore the author’s experiences with death, grief, love, oppression, and addiction. NEC(ROMANTIC) employs the use of traditional forms such as the villanelle, sestina, and haiku to organize these experiences. Prose poetry and a peca kucha ground the center of NEC(ROMANTIC) which alternates between lyrical and narrative gestures.
NEC(ROMANTIC) is influenced by Sylvia Plath. The author uses Plath’s methods of compression, sound, and rhythm to create a swift, child-like tone when examining emotionally laden topics. Ilya Kaminsky influences lyrical elements of the poems, including surrealism. Spencer Reese’s combination of the natural and personal world is also paramount to this book. Adrienne Rich and Audre Lorde influence NEC(ROMANTIC)’s political poetry.

Andolina, Tiffany Lucille. "Self-Monitoring and Romantic Relationships: Individual Differences in Romantic Jealousy." UNF Digital Commons, 2015. http://digitalcommons.unf.edu/etd/603.
Full textAbstract:
To extend the research on self-monitoring and romantic relationships, we explored the connection between self-monitoring and romantic jealousy using a between-subjects design. We hypothesized high self-monitors (like men) would find sexual infidelity more distressing than emotional infidelity, whereas low self-monitors (like women) would find emotional infidelity more distressing than sexual infidelity. Participants completed the 25-item Self-Monitoring Scale (Snyder, 1974) and 6 hypothetical infidelity scenarios (Buss et al., 1999). To statistically control for third variables, participants also completed the 11-item Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (Gangestad & Simpson, 1991). Although we found a main effect for self-monitoring in romantic jealousy, these results did not support our hypotheses. That is, these reliable differences in self-monitoring reflected more or less distress by emotional infidelity. Limitations (e.g., third variables, directionality) and future directions (e.g., potential moderators/mediators for self-monitoring differences in romantic jealousy) of this research are discussed.

Craciun, Emil. "Dissidence within the Soviet Bloc : the case of Romania." FIU Digital Commons, 1986. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/2662.
Full textAbstract:
This study examines why Romania's dissidence within the Soviet bloc has not provoked a military response from the Soviet Union during the 1965-1985 period. The hypothesis assumed is that Soviet tolerance is granted to Romania in exchange for its internal orthodoxy.
Based on English and Romanian sources of information and on the author's experience having lived in Romania, the following factors are analyzed: Party internal control, its organization, leadership and ideology.
The study concludes that Romania's internal orthodoxy, closely resembling Soviet society, has neutralized the country's dissident foreign policy saving it from a Soviet military intervention.

Worth, Ryan Mitchell. "Romantic Symbolism Re-examined: The Ontic Fallacy." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2021. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/9136.
Full textAbstract:
Romantic symbolism is a poorly understood concept. It was first formulated by the Romantics in a variety of contexts. Goethe develops his theory of the symbol most notably in his scientific works. Schelling's approach to the Romantic symbol is firmly rooted in his philosophical writings. Coleridge articulates a Romantic notion of symbolism across his extensive literary criticism. The foundational influence of these related theories of Romantic symbolism can be seen in the artistic, literary, and scientific productions of Romantic minded individuals all over Europe in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. However, the nature and scope of the Romantic symbol as originally formulated by Goethe, Schelling, and others has been obfuscated in unfortunate ways by the contemporary theoretical assumptions and narrow interpretations of recent academic scholarship. This thesis restores the original connotation of the Romantic symbol by identifying the common way in which it is misconstrued: the ontic fallacy.

Lin, Crystal Chi-Sheng. "Adult Romantic Attachment Style, Global Self-Esteem, and Specific Self-Views as Predictors of Feedback Preference in Potential Romantic Relationships." DigitalCommons@USU, 2006. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/6237.
Full textAbstract:
This study examined how adult romantic attachment (anxiety and avoidance dimensions), global self-esteem, and social and academic self-views relate to one another and how well they predict preference for a specific feedback type (enhancing, verifying, or no feedback) from a potential romantic partner in times of distress. It also investigated the relation between the type of feedback one receives and attraction to the partner who gives that type of feedback. Multiple regression analyses supported some predicted relations between romantic attachment and feedback preference. Neither global self-esteem nor social and academic self-views predicted preference for a particular feedback type, nor did social self-views moderate the relation between attachment and feedback preference. Although global self-esteem was found to moderate the relation between attachment style and feedback preference, the moderation effects were not in the predicted directions. However, academic self-views were found to moderate the relation between attachment and feedback preference. In addition, anxious and avoidant attachment related negatively to global self-esteem, social self-views, and academic self-view. Global self-esteem related positively to both social and academic self-views. Receiving one's preferred feedback predicted attraction to the potential romantic partner who gave that type of feedback. Limitations of the study and direction for future research are discussed.

Baker, Marianne Lind. "Humphry Davy: Science, Authorship, and the Changing Romantic." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2010. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2647.
Full textAbstract:
In the mid to late 1700s, men of letters became more and more interested in the natural world. From studies in astronomy to biology, chemistry, and medicine, these "philosophers" pioneered what would become our current scientific categories. While the significance of their contributions to these fields has been widely appreciated historically, the interconnection between these men and their literary counterparts has not. A study of the "Romantic man of science" reveals how much that figure has in common with the traditional "Romantic" literary figure embodied by poets like William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This thesis interrogates connections between Romantic literature and science by examining the figure of the "Romantic" author. In his 1969 essay "What is an Author?" Foucault called into question the way we think about authorship. Foucault states that before the late eighteenth-century, what we call "literary" texts "were accepted, put into circulation and valorized without any question about the identity of the author" (108). Simultaneously, scientific texts "were accepted in the Middle Ages, [. . .] only when marked with the name of their author" (109). Foucault argues that norms of authorship underwent a reversal in the eighteenth century. The result of this shift is that "literary discourses came to be accepted only when endowed with the author function" while in the sciences, the author function faded away (109). A case study of the scientist Humphry Davy disrupts Foucault's suggestion that a total reversal in the workings of the author function was achieved by the Romantic period. I argue that Davy is an exception to Foucault's history of authorship and that Davy's authorial identity in the sciences as "the public man of science" is equal to the author function of literary figures of the same period. Davy pioneered the "public man of science," a figure who corresponds nearly perfectly with the emerging figure of the "author" in the literary sphere. Ultimately we see Davy as a figure who embodies and reconstructs the "Romantic I" and requires us to reconsider the category of scientific authorship and the figure of the scientist as author.

Cruz, Niles Adrian. "Romantic Attachment Styles, Gender, and Reasons for Living." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2006. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2175.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine reasons for living in people with secure, avoidant, and anxious/ambivalent romantic attachment styles. Romantic attachment style was assessed by use of the Adult Attachment Questionnaire (AAQ). Reasons for living were assessed using the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL). The independent variables were gender and romantic attachment style. The dependent variable was the RFL score.
Participants included 235 male and female students from a southeastern university. A brief demographic questionnaire, the RFL (Linehan,M., Goodstein, J., Neilson, S., & Chiles J., 1983), and the AAQ (Hazan & Shaver, 1987), were administered in electronic format on-line.
A 3 (attachment style) X 2 (gender) Analysis of Variance with unequal cell sizes was used to test for main and interaction effects. The significance level was set at .05. Implications of findings and suggestions for future research were discussed.

Haliliuc, Alina. "Public languages of identification in post-Socialist Romania: Limits to pluralistic citizenship." Diss., University of Iowa, 2011. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2510.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that a strong ethos of homogenization is pervasive in post-socialist Romanian public discourse. By focusing on highly popular rhetorics that try to define Romanians, I illustrate that the discursive homogenization of the national body relies on rhetorics of national victimization that stigmatize the Balkans and the communist past. I develop my argument by exploring, in Chapter Two, how Romanian national identity has been constructed, historically, as a homogeneous one: particularly in ethnic terms before communism, and in class and gender terms during communism. In Chapter Three, I analyze a cluster of texts - journalistic essays, hip-hop hits, and a television campaign - as they rhetorically construct public identities vis-à-vis the popular music genre of the Manele. I illustrate that the discourse of Balkanism, which scholars of post-socialism have identified as present in other European countries, is also an influential rhetoric constitutive of identities in contemporary Romania. Because the recent past remains a puzzle, galvanizing identity-related anxieties in Romania, Chapters Four and Five turn to landmark texts in the public memory of communism: The Museum of the Victims of Communism and of the Resistance and Cristian Mungiu's film, 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days. I argue that the museum articulates political resistance and victimhood to a homogenized national body. I analyze next how Romanian journalists read 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days, an award-winning film about women's abortion-related victimization. I argue that the reviewers's gender-blind interpretation of the film indicate that the articulation of political victimhood with the homogenized national body is a strong one in contemporary Romania. I conclude by interrogating about the consequences that a homogenizing public rhetoric of collective victimization have on the democratic affirmation of social pluralism.
This study is the first concentrated effort to analyze the limits and possibilities of minority identity, political agency, and democratic politics in Romania, in the face of homogenizing discourses about the past and the present. It enriches rhetorical scholarship with the case study of a post-socialist society and Eastern European areas studies with research on discursive resources available to contemporary Romanians for self- and collective definition.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis research moves from the interest for the reconstruction of the historical image of Mediolanum through the analysis of the residential structures and the meaning of precise building and ornamental choices testified in them, beginning from the I century B.C. up to the IV century A.D. The thesis is divided in two parts. In the first section, constituted by the introduction and by three chapters, they are faced the history of the studies on the residential house building in Cisalpina, the topography of Mediolanum, the principal theme on the housing districts and a brief paragraph on the techniques. In the second part the catalog of the floors and of the domus are displayed. The topographical analysis of the city shows what premised essential to be able to fully understand the dynamics of the transformations of the insulae and of the domus in them existing; the examination of the archaeological rests is integrated with how much brought from the ancient sources and with the data emerged from the excavations and from the most recent studies on single monuments or on themes of more general character. A knowledge decidedly deepened of the archaeological reality in Milan and a critical use of the bibliographical sources and, above all, archive files of housing buildings are placed at the base of the search. The cards of the catalog of the domus, in fact, are based both on the bibliography and on the reports of excavations; the bibliography in few cases is related to the scientific publication of the archaeological excavations, while for the greatest part of the recoveries it is limited to few hints or news on them. This is due partly to the fact that, for many contexts, the consistence of the finds concerns the floor coverings and/or single building structures. The documentation of file examined is not homogeneous: for the most recent excavations it is filed at the excavation archive of the Italian Antiquity Authority (Soprintendenza) and it can furnish the reports of excavation, the graphic and photographic material, rarely the preliminary presentation of the material finds. For the investigations conducted before the years '80 of the last century, the documents are preserved instead at the topographical section of the Soprintendenza, together with papers of office and cadastral; in the most fortunate cases the diaries of excavation have been found correlated by sketches of the plants and the recoveries, together with photos of these last in black and white; more easily, however, it deals with short notes of the assistants of excavation and reliefs of the architects of the Municipality, normally without explanations and/or characterizations. It needs to underline as, especially for the contexts without any publication, has been faced the studying from zero of the entire dig documentation, departing from the reading of the reports, therefore of the cards of stratigraphic units, comparing then the information contained with photos and reliefs. The cards are been filled up with detail of elements, keeping in mind of everything how much has been possible to find and to verify, crossing the data emerged from the different domus so that to be able to furnish a comparison of the interpretative analysis from time to time suggested. In the chapter on the housing districts they are examined in their whole the housing contexts introduced in the catalog, distinguishing them among urban and suburban, according to a diachronic sequence, so that to put in relief similarities and differences in the organization of the spaces and in the type of decoration. Although it has not been archaeologically investigated till now a whole entire roman house, the final documentation represents ahead a meaningful footstep in the understanding of the house building in roman Milan. Among the environments more frequently observed, besides the courts endowed with elements of water supply, they are cubicula and triclinia. These last ones are examined apart, among the propria loca: cubicula and dining rooms result often combined, according to various solutions, not adhering to a common standard, inside the house arrangement; their decoration stands out for refinement and luxury, from the moment that since the I century B.C. there are floors layout in opus sectile, besides in cement and mosaic. It highlights the rarity of the figurative scenes:, only two examples in fact have been found dated to the I century B.C.-I century A.D. and three between III and IV century A.D. (one of which from the imperial palace), to forehead of twenty-six floors in opus sectile. Building and decorative fervor characterizes the houses of the inhabitants of Mediolanum since the beginnings of its Romanization, without Celtic traditions are abandoned entirely, for example in the employment of walls in perishable material, well attested for the whole I century A.D. and richly according to the fashion of the centre italic paintings. Constructive initiative and aesthetic seeking are comparable to that of other important Roman centers, as for instance. in Cisalpina, that of Aquileia.

Full textAbstract:
Eighteenth-century Paris was the cultural capital of Europe and home to a vibrant network of theatres, not all of which are equally present in modern scholarship. The Comédie-Italienne in particular has frequently been downplayed in historical accounts, and there is no existing work outlining its relationship with its authors. This thesis aims to address this gap through a case study of the Italian author Carlo Goldoni, who began work for the Comédie-Italienne in 1762. His thirty years in Paris hold an ambiguous place in his career: the preface to his autobiography draws attention to France as the site of his authorial glory, but his work for the Comédie-Italienne is dismissed as a failure; a view echoed by many modern critics. This study therefore also sets out to explore this apparent contradiction. Substantial original work on the Comédie-Italienne archives sheds new light on the administration of this theatre, building up the most comprehensive existing account of its finances, audiences and author relations in the 1760s, and situating it in the contemporary cultural field. Dramatic authors are revealed to be at the heart of tensions between symbolic and financial concerns across eighteenth-century theatrical Paris. This re-evaluation also provides a new context for understanding Goldoni’s equivocal account of his Parisian career. He desired a glorious image in posterity, yet the Comédie-Italienne’s collaborative production and lack of publication thwarted the reputation-shaping tactics he had developed in Italy. The only weapon that remained was his French Mémoires (1787), in which he consciously constructed his image and the claim of Parisian glory. Goldoni’s case also raises broader questions about the creation of literary gloire, and the fate of the cosmopolitan artist in a strange land. In modern France, Goldoni is remembered as a famous foreigner, not the Frenchman he believed he had become. The thesis concludes that this failure in posterity stems from his misunderstanding of how to achieve gloire in his French context: to rely on artificially created image alone is not enough, and yet Goldoni had no choice.

Jacquelin, Sally. "La trilogie de Mervyn Peake dans la tradition du "romance" anglais." Paris 10, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA100129.
Full textAbstract:
Peu connue du public français, la trilogie de Mervyn Peake (1911-1968), Titus Groan, Gormenghast, Titus Alone, connait un immense succès auprès des lecteurs anglo-saxons, attires depuis fort longtemps par ce type d'écrit qui dépeint un univers imaginaire non-soumis aux contraintes de la vraisemblance. Cette étude, en deux parties distinctes mais complémentaires, prend comme point de départ l'association de la trilogie à une tradition littéraire anglaise : celle du 'romance'. S’appuyant sur les travaux de Northrop Frye et faisant appel aussi à d'autres écrits critiques - aussi bien français qu'anglo-saxons - de tendances diverses, la première partie cerne le genre d'abord du point de vue de son histoire et ensuite de ses structures, faisant ressortir la continuité et la cohérence de ce mouvement général de l'esprit littéraire anglais parfois mal compris du lecteur étranger. La deuxième partie, représentant les deux-tiers de la thèse, étudie la trilogie en relation avec les constantes du 'romance'. L’introduction met en évidence la genèse de l'œuvre et avance l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'itinéraire personnel et le projet littéraire de Peake - le besoin de recréer un univers obsédant et le désir de mener à bien une quête personnelle de l'identité - le conduisent tout naturellement vers cette tradition. Dans les chapitres suivants sont considérés : les structures narratives et thématiques, les images privilégiées, la qualité visuelle de l'écriture, le temps, l'espace, et la perception. Au cours de ces chapitres, des références à la vie de Peake et à son autre activité créatrice, celle d'un dessinateur de grand talentThe immensely successful trilogy of Mervyn Peake (1911-1968), Titus Groan, Gormenghast, Titus alone, remains little known to the general French reader, whereas readers in English-speaking countries have long been familiar with this type of imaginative literature. This study takes as its starting point the idea that Peake's trilogy can be seen as a continuation of the centuries-old romance tradition, and in the first section we aim at familiarizing the French reader with this tradition, presenting it as a literary genre from the point of view both of its history and its structure. We attempt to bring out its continuity and coherence as well as to suggest the function of this type of literature which recreates experience in the image of desire. Our presentation uses the critical principles of Northrop Frye, and also refers to various other critical tendencies, French, English, and American. The second section, representing two-thirds of the study, examines Peake's trilogy in relation to romance conventions. The introduction shows how the work originated and suggests that Peake's personal, emotional needs and his literary aim - the urge to recreate an obsessive parallel universe and the desire to accomplish a quest for his own identity - lead him naturally towards this tradition. The following chapters deal with the trilogy's narrative and thematic structures, the major groups of images, the visual quality of the writing, time, space, and perception. In these chapters

Coy, Anthony. "THE CONTRIBUTION OF PARTNER INVESTMENTS TO ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP COMMITMENT." VCU Scholars Compass, 2013. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/479.
Full textAbstract:
Interdependence theory (Kelley & Thibaut, 1978), one of the most widely used theories in the literature on interpersonal relationships, posits that both partners in a romantic relationships play integral roles in maintaining their relationship. Based in interdependence theory, research on the investment model of commitment (Rusbult, 1980) has revealed that individuals’ greater satisfaction and investments and lower alternatives predict greater commitment to their relationships, and commitment in turn promotes a variety of relationship-maintenance behaviors. However, no past research had examined the role of partners. Across three studies, I examined the notion that partner investments would predict individuals’ commitment above and beyond their own satisfaction, investments, and alternatives. Study 1 found that higher levels of partner investments predicted higher levels of commitment within ongoing marriages. Study 2 provided experimental support by manipulating the degree to which individuals thought their romantic partners would sacrifice for their relationship. Specifically, participants told their partners would sacrifice a great deal reported higher levels of commitment than did those told their partner would sacrifice very little. Further, the perception of partner investments mediated the relationship between the partner investments prime and commitment. Study 3 was a couples study designed to examine both actual and perceived partner investments. Despite failing to provide additional support, the findings can inform designs for future dyadic research. Studies 1 and 2 provided the first evidence of partner effects in the investment model and advance the understanding of relationship functioning by demonstrating how both partners can work to strengthen each others’ commitment.

Hawkley, Jennifer Nicole. "Romantic Relational Aggression in Parents and Adolescent Child Outcomes." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2014. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3897.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine marital romantic relational aggression in parents and its impact on adolescent relational aggression, adolescent romantic relational aggression, internalizing, and school engagement with self-regulation as a potential mediator. Gender differences were also examined. Adolescents were from 328 two-parent families in a large north-western city in the United States and were between 12 and 17 years of age (M=14.24, SD=1.00, 51% female) at time 4. All independent variables except adolescent self-regulation were measured at wave 4, and all adolescent variables were measured at wave 5. Results indicate that higher levels of romantic relational aggression from mother to father was directly related to higher relational aggression in girls and lower romantic relational aggression in boys one year later. Father romantic relational aggression was directly and negatively related to romantic relational aggression in girls one year later. Mother romantic relational aggression was indirectly related to all outcomes in females only, in the predicted directions, through adolescent self-regulation. Father romantic relational aggression was indirectly related, in the predicted directions, to relational aggression, internalizing, and school engagement in boys only. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This study of 1,492 emerging adults focuses on the relationships among negative family of origin experiences, attitudes about marriage, positive communication and the influence of past romantic relationships. The data used in this study comes from a survey questionnaire, READY (see www.relate-institute.org) completed by emerging adult participants (18-25). Results from the Structural Equation Model showed both aversive family of origin experiences and negative beliefs about marriage have a significant and negative influence on perceptions of romantic relationship experiences. Also, positive communication has a significant and positive influence on perceptions of past romantic relationships. However, positive communication did not mediate the relationships between negative family of origin experiences, attitudes about marriage, and the influence of past romantic relationship experiences. Implications for clinicians as well as directions for and content of future research on family of origin experiences, attitudes about marriage, and the influence of past romantic relationship experiences are explored.

Full textAbstract:
Immersed in the fantasy worlds of fairy tales and popular romance novels, this project explores the experience of reading for pleasure. Using the fairy tale, "Beauty and the Beast" as well as its retelling in popular romance format in Linda Jones' Debuty and the Beast, my work explores the tension and enjoyment of being a reader of romance while simultaneously internalizing the literary hierarchy that can relegate pleasure to the bottom of the value system. Ultimately, this thesis seeks out the places and times between the concrete, the literary seams amidst the defined limitations of what we think we know, and reexamines the value of pleasure and play for readers of the romance genre.

Full textAbstract:
The roofing system for houses from Roman times is currently one of the least studied aspects of ancient architecture. One reason is certainly to be found in the very few or almost inexistent archaeological remains: In fact, during an excavation substantial information is usually found concerning the foundation of the structures and on the walls, not surprisingly objects of thorough investigations, whilst the attics and roofs, by far the parts that are most difficult to conserve, are rarely found in the collapse. Therefore the lack of archaeological data is reflected in the manuals on architecture and building related to the Roman period where there are few references to the construction techniques, generally referred to the public buildings.
The study of ancient sources (literary, epigraphic, iconographic), the analysis of the archaeological evidence (especially from the area around Vesuvius), the study of the way wooden roofs have been built in the modern era (before using laminated wood) and the study of wood itself was not neglected -as the main material used for roofs- all these studies have made it possible to understand what was known about the roofs of Roman houses; to understand what the constructive typologies were certainly used in the old; to identify the technical and dimensional parameters needed to propose correct reconstructions from a philological point of view, but also static; to understand the relation between the different types of roofing and the planimetry-sizeplanes.
Finally, the set-up of the Domus 3D calculation program finally allows to dimension the roof beams and locate the tilting angles of the roofs based on the number of supposed planes in the building and the thickness and type of the wall structures.Il sistema di copertura delle abitazioni di età romana è uno degli aspetti meno studiati dell’architettura antica; una delle ragioni è sicuramente da ricercare nelle poco numerose o quasi nulle attestazioni archeologiche: se infatti generalmente nel corso degli scavi sono recuperate consistenti informazioni sulle fondazioni delle strutture e su parte degli alzati, non a caso oggetto di studi approfonditi, i solai e i tetti sono in assoluto le parti architettoniche più difficilmente conservabili e rinvenute raramente in stato di crollo. La carenza di dati archeologici si riflette, di conseguenza, nei manuali dedicati all’architettura o all’edilizia di età romana nei quali sono scarsi i riferimenti alle tecniche costruttive relative alle coperture e si riferiscono soprattutto ad edifici pubblici. Lo studio delle fonti antiche (letterarie, epigrafiche, iconografiche), l’analisi delle attestazioni archeologiche (provenienti soprattutto dall’area vesuviana) lo studio delle soluzioni adottate nella costruzione dei tetti in legno in età moderna (prima dell’avvento del legno lamellare) e lo studio del legno, principale materiale adoperato per le coperture, ha permesso di comprendere quanto fosse noto sulle coperture delle abitazioni di epoca romana, capire quali fossero le tipologie costruttive certamente adoperate in antico, identificare i parametri tecnici e dimensionali necessari per proporre ricostruzioni corrette da un punto di vista filologico, ma anche statico, comprendere la relazione tra le diverse tipologie di coperture e le grandezze-planimetrie degli ambienti. La creazione del programma di calcolo Domus 3D permette infine di dimensionare le travi delle coperture e individuare gli angoli di inclinazione possibili sulla base del numero di piani supposti nell’edificio e dello spessore e tipologia delle strutture murarie.

Full textAbstract:
Research casts interracial romantic partners (IRPs) as deficient in their relational functioning compared to same-race partners due to the potential for increased relational conflict and stress. More relational stressors are likely to result in a higher need for social support from network members. Yet, interracial partners can maintain satisfying, thriving relationships and experience few racially motivated stressors, rendering support unnecessary at times. The dissertation explores the social resources IRPs use to maintain their interracial romantic relationships (IRRs) by examining processes of social support and strain among Black-White IRPs and their family members. In these processes, the researcher focuses specifically on support expectations, which are anticipations of the support individuals are likely to receive from particular others. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with 32 IRPs and 30 parents of IRPs to understand support as a cohesive, long-term process involving participants’ support expectations and their violations, which could result in experiences of support and/or strain.
A grounded theory analysis of the interview data resulted in an inductive model of expectations for social support and strain. Three constructs influenced expectations for IRR involvement and support, including exposure to racial diversity, assessments of racial identifications, and cultural comparisons. Based on these expectations, participants came across three support paths after initiating support-seeking disclosure strategies. Their expectations for familial support were met, they received more support than they anticipated, and/or they received less support than expected. Encounters with these support paths resulted in support and strain for IRPs and their parents, however interracial partnerships largely experienced resilience whereas hardships befell familial ties. Taken together, the results contribute to theorizing about processes of support and their functionality in underrepresented romantic relationship forms.

Resumo: O presente estudo cumpre o objetivo de mostrar como o romance brasileiro O Grande Mentecapto: relato das aventuras e desventuras de Viramundo e de suas inenarráveis peregrinações, de Fernando Sabino, publicado em 1979, é uma obra contemporânea que dialoga, ao mesmo tempo, com a tradição literária carnavalizada. Com base nas considerações de Michael Bakhtin sobre a carnavalização, é possível notar que o narrador de O Grande Mentecapto envolve o leitor em um jogo de máscaras, tornando o seu modo de narrar moderno e o seu texto ambivalente. Além disso, a polifonia e a intertextualidade, bem como os elementos da cultura popular brasileira, estão presentes nos discursos que integram o romance e ajudam a compor sua multiplicidade. O protagonista do romance, Geraldo Viramundo, revela-se também complexo e ambivalente, assumindo várias identidades e máscaras e trazendo o olhar liberto e renovador típico das obras carnavalizadas. Simultaneamente, por ser um personagem que oscila entre herói e anti-herói, louco e lúcido, sublime e grotesco, livre e preso, familiar e desconhecido, marginalizado e amigável, brasileiro e universal, ele representa, em um andamento tragicômico, grandes conflitos sociais e profundas crises humanas. Por fim, a trajetória de Viramundo é fragmentada e contém imprecisões temporal e espacial típicas das obras contemporâneas ao mesmo tempo em que a narrativa converge o tempo todo para o simbolismo da praça pública, caracterizador das obras carnavalizadas. O Grande Mentecapto também pode ser lido como uma alegoria de uma determinada estrutura social brasileira, por meio de relações instauradas entre a ficção e acontecimentos sócio-históricos ocorridos tanto no tempo da narrativa como na época de publicação do romance. Portanto, nota-se que o lugar de O Grande Mentecapto na produção literária brasileira é o de um romance que resgata elementos da tradição carnavalizada combinando-os com ...
Abstract: This study fulfills the aim of showing how the Brazilian novel O Grande Mentecapto: relato das aventuras e desventuras de Viramundo e de suas inenarráveis peregrinações, by Fernando Sabino, published in 1979, is a contemporary work which converses at the same time,with the carnivalized literary tradition. Based on Michael Bakhtin's considerations about carnivalization, is possible to note that the narrator of O Grande Mentecapto involves the read in a game of masks, changing his way to narrate modern and his text in ambivalent. Furthermore, polyphony and intertextuality, as well as Brazilian popular culture's elements, are present in the speeches that integrate the novel and help composing its multiplicity. The novel's protagonist, Geraldo Viramundo, proves to be complex and ambivalent, taking on various identities and masks and bringing a typical liberating and renovating view of carnivalized works. Simultaneously, being a character that oscillates between hero and antihero, crazy and lucid, sublime and grotesque, free and trapped, familiar and unknown, marginalized and well liked, Brazilian and universal, he represents the big social conflicts and the human crisis in a deep manner. Finally, the Viramundo's trajectory is fragmented and contains the typical temporal and spatial imprecision of contemporary works while the narrative converges all the time the symbolism of the public square, which characterize the carnivalized works. So, O Grande Mentecapto can also be read as an allegory of a determined Brazilian social structure, thorough relations done between fiction and social historical facts that occurred not only in the narrative time, but in the publication's epoch of the novel. Therefore, we note that O Grande Mentecapto's place in Brazilian literary production is a novel that rescues carnivalized tradition's elements combining them with contemporary literature's aspects

Full textAbstract:
The Medievalizing Process: Religious Medievalism in Romantic and Victorian Literature posits religious medievalism as one among many critical paradigms through which we might better understand literary efforts to bring notions of sanctity back into the modern world. As a cultural and artistic practice, medievalism processes the loss of medieval forms of understanding in the modern imagination and resuscitates these lost forms in new and imaginative ways to serve the purposes of the present. My dissertation proposes religious medievalism as a critical method that decodes modern texts’ lamentations over a perceived loss of the sacred. My project locates textual moments in select works of John Keats, Lord Byron, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde that reveal concern over the consequences of modern dualism. It examines the ways in which these texts participate in a process of rejoining to enchant a rationalistic epistemology that stymies transcendental unity. I identify the body of Christ, the central organizing principle of medieval devotion, as the cynosure of nineteenth-century religious medievalism. This body offers a non-dualistic alternative that retroactively undermines and heals Cartesian divisions of mind and body and Kantian distinctions between noumenal and knowable realities. Inscribing the dynamic contours of the medieval religious body into a text’s linguistic structure, a method I call the “medievalizing process,” underscores the spiritual dimensions of its reform efforts and throws into relief a distinctly religious, collective agenda that undergirds many nineteenth-century texts.

Full textAbstract:
The present study investigates the role of personality as an antecedent factor to jealousy experience and expression utilizing Guerrero and Andersen's (1998) Componential Model of Jealousy Experience and Expression. Whereas personality constructs have been commonly examined as correlates or concomitants of jealousy there has been relatively little empirical work examining the role of personality in the context of this model, which highlights the distinction between jealousy experience and expression. The present study addresses this issue by examining the relation between the components of the model and well-established measures of adult attachment, the Five-Factor Model of personality, and specific maladaptive personality traits in two samples. The first sample is composed of 400 undergraduate students and the second sample is composed of 184 married community residents who have reported experiencing jealousy in their romantic relationships. Additional analyses evaluate the relation between jealousy experience and expression as well as the relation between relationship satisfaction and jealousy. While adult attachment dimensions tend to be the strongest predictors of the elements of jealousy experience and expression, other personality variables exhibited important and meaningful relations as well. The majority of these other personality variables tended to contain elements of negative emotionality at their core. The present study also provided replication of several relations between elements of the componential model of jealousy.

Full textAbstract:
Romantic relationships are extremely important in people's physical and mental well being. One of the important determinants of the quality of romantic relationships is the expression and regulation of emotions. This study hypothesized that 1) expression of positive emotions is good for any relationship, 2) expression of negative emotions is good for only communal relationships, 3) expression of positive emotions is necessary alongside of negative ones to maintain a communal relationship, 4) in case negative emotions are expressed, providing explanations would help maintain the relationship, 5) suppression of emotions does not benefit communal relationship, and 6) expression of emotions correlates with a) secure attachment, b) partner's receptiveness to expression, and c) communal approach to relationship. The interactions predicted in this study were not found to be significant. The key study findings follow: 1) expression of positive and negative emotions, 2) communal orientation, 3) explanation of negative affect, 4) and general emotional expressivity correlate with higher relationship satisfaction. 5) Emotional suppression, 6) anxious attachment, and 7) higher year in school were related to lower satisfaction. Other findings suggested that 1) communal approach, 2) partner's receptiveness, and 3) female gender were related to more emotional expressivity. 4) Communal orientation was related to more and 5) avoidant attachment was related to less positive expression. 6) Secure attachment was related to less emotional suppression. Lastly, it was found that 1) secure attachment correlated with more partner's receptiveness. 2) Anxious attachment accompanied less explanations for negative affect., and, 3) older participants had more avoidant attachments. The major limitation of this study was that only one member the couple was assessed and the impact of the respondent's style and behavior on the partner as well as the dyadic factors contributing to the relationship were largely unknown.

Full textAbstract:
The end of the eighteen and the beginning of the nineteen centuries represented a period of national renaissance for the Romanian population within the Great Principality of Transylvania. The nation, within a span of under fifty years, documented its Latin origins, rewrote its history, language, and grammar, and attempted to educate and gain political rights for its members within the Habsburg Empire?s family of nations. Four Romanian intellectuals led this enormous endeavor and left their philosophical imprint on the politics and social structure of the newly forged nation: Samuil Micu, Gheorghe ªincai, Petru Maior, and Ion-Budai Deleanu. Together they formed a school of thought called the Transylvanian School. Micu, Maior, and ªincai (at least early in his career), under the inspiration of the ideas of enlightened absolutism reflected in the reign of Joseph II, advocated and worked tirelessly to introduce reforms from above as a means for national education and emancipation. Deleanu, fully influenced by a combination of ideas emanating from French Enlightenment and French revolutionary sources, argued that the Romanian population of Transylvania could achieve social and political rights only if they were willing to fight for them.

Full textAbstract:
Stable isotopes in ice cores drilled in the polar and high-mountain region have been used intensively to reconstruct past climatic changes and atmospheric dynamics. However, no similar studies have been conducted on perennial ice accumulations in caves due to a limited understanding of the links between the external and cave environments, and the way in which the climatic signal can be recorded by the cave ice.
In this thesis, we successfully designed and build a research methodology for the reconstruction of past climatic changes based on perennial ice accumulation in caves, using as example the Scarisoara Ice Cave, Romania. The ice block in this cave preserves a large variety of candidate proxies for both past climate and environmental changes, the most significant ones being the stable isotopic composition of the ice (a proxy for air temperature) and pollen remains. The ice block has formed by the successive accumulation of layers formed by the freezing of water accumulated from late summer through mid-autumn precipitation. An original method has been developed for the reconstruction of the stable isotopic composition of water before freezing, and further, of the late summer air temperature. Pollen in the ice has been found to reflect changes in surface vegetation at both local and regional scale.
A 22 m long ice core has been extracted from the ice block, and stable isotope analyses were performed at high resolution on its entire length. Twenty-sex radiocarbon ages have been used to derive a precise depth-age model for this core. The stable isotope data covers almost the entire Holocene, between 0.09 and 9.75 ka BP. The first order fluctuation broadly follows the orbitally induced Northern Hemisphere September insolation, with a minimum in the early Holocene, a slow climb towards a maximum at ~5.0 ka, followed by a very slow cooling towards the present, accentuated after ~0.5 ka. Superimposed on the long-term variations a series of rapid cooling events (RCE) are recorde, the most notable ones being at 9.5 ka, 8.2 ka, 7.9 ka, 6 ka, 4.2 ka, 3.2 ka and 0.9 ka. The timing of these RCEs agrees remarkably well with the Holocene rapid climatic changes and the ice rafted debris (IRD) events in the North Atlantic (NA). Our data suggests that the general trends of temperature changes in mainland Europe during the Holocene were governed by changes in solar output. RCEs were synchronous with NA IRD events, the NA climatic signal originating from sea surface temperature changes and being amplified by atmospheric dynamics.
The stable isotope data spanning the past 2000 years clearly shows four climatic events over this interval, attributed to the Roman Warm period (RWP), the Dark Ages Cold Period (DACP), Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and the Little Ice Age (LIA). Our data suggests that air temperature was highly variable during the LIA and more stable during the warm MWP and RWP.
As ice caves were described in many parts of the world otherwise poorly represented in ice-based paleoclimatology, the results of this study could open a new direction in paleoclimatic research, so that an array of significant paleoclimate data can be developed based on their study.

Full textAbstract:
Au rebours de la méthode qui a longtemps inspiré les études terentiennes. Il vaut la peine de considérer l'œuvre de Terence autrement que comme le reflet exact de la nouvelle comédie. D'abord parce que, eu égard à l'état actuel de nos sources, il est moins vain et que, pour l'histoire des idées romaines, il est plus fécond de chercher en cet auteur, plutôt qu'un imitateur des formes comiques grecques, un héritier et un adaptateur des leçons de la philosophie hellénistique parvenues, par la littérature dramatique ou par d'autres voies, jusqu'aux élites intellectuelles romaines du deuxième siècle. Ensuite parce que les choix que Terence a faits dans le répertoire de Ménandre et d’Apollodore suggèrent une interprétation de son œuvre qui, sans ignorer l'apport grec, mette en évidence son originalité, révèle combien ses racines en milieu romain sont profondes. Les six comédies de Terence nous donnent à lire les réflexions d'un familier du "cercle des Scipions" sur des notions morales ou des réalités sociales qu'il importait alors de définir en termes rénovés: mariage, famille, éducation, amitié, justice. . . Car cette œuvre est le produit d'un moment où Rome ne peut plus différer la réponse, à mi-chemin entre l'hellènophobie et l'hellènomanie, à l'antagonisme qui oppose désormais la morale traditionnelle et des conceptions nouvelles. Et les considérations de Terence vont très au-delà des enseignements de la Grèce, puisqu'elles posent les assises du concept d'humanitas. Mais entre Scipion Émilien et Terence, entre Scipion Émilien, Térence et Cicéron, les affinités forment un lignage spirituel.

The study wants to fill the gap between the lack of information about the urban necropoles, placed around the Roman city, and the great number of new data derived from recent finds. In order to semplify the research, the suburb was conventionally divided into four areas: northern, eastern, southern and western area. The study starts with a topographical analysis of each area, including the examination of previous and following evidences in order to explain the evolution during the time. This chapter is followed by a catalogue of all the burial evidences of Roman Padua, collected through the analysis of previous issues and through the study of new excavations, and by a catalogue of graves with the reconstruction of burial way and customs and the list of the objects involved. This work involves a data interpretation, with materials analysis – divided by functional cathegory and class, and a synthesis on local productions and trade exchanges – and study on burial forms and funeral rituals in the time. Combining all those aspects with epigraphical information, derived by tombstones and funeral monuments, this work tries to reconstruct the diachronical development of each area, in relation with the expansion of the urban area and the socio-economical level of the inhabitants.Il lavoro è nato per colmare il vuoto conoscitivo venutosi a creare nel tempo sulle necropoli urbane della città di epoca romana rispetto alla crescente mole di documentazione portata alla luce dai più recenti scavi. Le necropoli si disponevano attorno all’abitato, racchiuso dall’ansa e dalla controansa fluviale, in aree di suburbio che per praticità sono state convenzionalmente ripartite in quattro settori, settentrionale, orientale, meridionale e occidentale. Il lavoro di analisi parte dall’inquadramento topografico dei singoli settori, con la ricostruzione del processo evolutivo, dalle prime testimonianze di frequentazione in età protostorica alle ultime trasformazioni subite in anni recenti. Segue la carta archeologica dei siti di rinvenimento, realizzata attraverso la rilettura critica delle vecchie pubblicazioni, il recupero di dati dai lavori più recenti e l’analisi di contesti inediti. Per alcuni ritrovamenti all’inquadramento del sito si affianca l’analisi delle sepolture con ricostruzione della struttura tombale e del rituale di deposizione e catalogo dei materiali. Al lavoro di schedatura fa seguito l’interpretazione dei dati comprendente da un lato l’analisi dei materiali, suddivisi per categoria funzionale e classe di appartenenza, con quadro di sintesi sulle produzioni locali e le importazioni, dall’altro lo studio delle modalità di sepoltura e dei rituali funerari nel loro evolversi. Dalla visione complessiva di questi aspetti, unita al dato epigrafico fornito dalle stele e dai monumenti funerari, è derivata una ricostruzione dello sviluppo diacronico di ciascun settore sepolcrale, in relazione alle vicende dell’abitato e al livello socio-economico degli individui ivi sepolti.

Understanding the contingencies that explain whether divorce has positive or negative long-term effects for adult children is at the heart of this study. Although previous studies suggest an association between parental divorce and the divorce of adult offspring, less known is about whether the timing of divorce influences the relationship outcomes of adult children. Using a large nationally representative sample in terms of race (N=6,066), eight groups of individuals (males and females from intact homes, males and females who experienced divorce during adolescence, males and females who experienced divorce during middle childhood, and males and females who experienced divorce during preschool years) were analyzed to examine the impact of divorce and its timing on family impact, emotional regulation, and relationship quality. Findings indicate that divorce, in general, negatively influences family impact, emotional regulation, and relationship quality. However, the developmental timing of divorce does not appear to significantly alter the impact of these variables on relationship quality.

Full textAbstract:
The Euganean trachyte, a volcanic rock extracted from the Euganean Hills, is a stone material quarried since ancient times in Veneto region. Thanks to its distinctive mechanical properties, trachyte had a wide geographical spread, since protohistoric ages and even more in Roman times, throughout Regio X (Venetia et Histria), as well as in Regio VIII (Aemilia), westwards to Milano/Mediolanum in Regio XI (Transpadana), and to the south at least as far as Urbisaglia/Urbs Salvia, in Regio V (Picenum).
This stone was employed roughly shaped for foundation or well cut for architectural elements, but its main use was for paving roads. Trachytic flagstones from Euganean Hills has been identified eastwards to Aquileia, but they are employed also in all major towns along via Aemilia and, to the south, in a pavement of Ancona. As well as in architecture, Euganean trachyte was employed to carve artefacts, typically for the production of millstones, querns and mortars, but we usually find gravestones and inscriptions too.
According to these findings, important implications can be inferred for distribution of trachyte in Roman times: a combined approach, involving petrographic and geochemical data, allows definitely identifying the quarry of Euganean trachyte in which architectural elements or artefacts were extracted. This analytical method makes it possible to argue about the cycle of activation, exploitation and exhaustion of the Euganean quarries. Therewithal, an integrated study of the chronology of the trachytic sample, their quarries of provenance in Euganean Hills and the cities of final destination allows reflecting about commercial dynamics and giving an overall view of the use of Euganean trachyte in Roman Northern Italy.La trachite euganea, una roccia vulcanica estratta dai Colli Euganei, è una delle risorse lapidee cavate sin dall’età antica nell’attuale comprensorio veneto. Le peculiari proprietà meccaniche contribuirono a una larga diffusione della trachite, in particolar modo in età romana, ma già nel corso della protostoria. Il materiale lapideo euganeo venne impiegato in tutta la Regio X (Venetia et Histria), ma anche nell’Aemilia; verso ovest la trachite giunse a Milano/Mediolanum, in Transpadana, mentre a sud è documentata sino a Urbisaglia/Urbs Salvia. Questa pietra trovò impiego tanto nelle fondazioni quanto negli alzati degli edifici, rispettivamente come blocchi sbozzati oppure rifiniti, ma venne messa in opera principalmente nelle pavimentazioni stradali. Basoli trachitici provenienti dai Colli Euganei sono stati identificati verso est sino ad Aquileia, ma risultano utilizzati anche nelle maggiori città sorte lungo la via Aemilia e in un selciato di Ancona, centro più a meridione rispetto al bacino di approvvigionamento in cui è stato documentato l’uso della trachite in un tratto viario. Oltre che in ambito architettonico, la trachite euganea fu sfruttata per produrre manufatti, principalmente strumenti per la macinazione, ma si realizzarono sovente anche cippi, stele e monumenti iscritti. Sulla base di questi ritrovamenti, possono essere ricostruite le dinamiche di diffusione del materiale trachitico in età romana: un’analisi combinata di carattere petrografico e geochimico consente di determinare le cave euganee dalle quali venne estratto il materiale per la realizzazione degli elementi architettonici o dei manufatti; sulla base di queste stesse indagini è inoltre possibile ricavare informazioni sul ciclo di attivazione, sfruttamento e abbandono dei siti estrattivi sui Colli Euganei. Allo stesso modo, infatti, uno studio integrato della cronologia dei campioni, delle loro cave di provenienza e dei centri in cui sono stati esportati consente di elaborare riflessioni attorno alle dinamiche commerciali e all’impiego della trachite euganea in Italia settentrionale nel corso dell’età romana.
