Legacies of Power: The Cultural Heritage of Theological White Supremacy, A Case Study of Ku Klux Konfederatism in Denton County Texas, 1850-1930 (open access)

Legacies of Power: The Cultural Heritage of Theological White Supremacy, A Case Study of Ku Klux Konfederatism in Denton County Texas, 1850-1930

Undergraduate thesis exploring modern American racism as the result of the nation's legacy of theological white supremacy and its deep-rooted racial issues that remain unresolved because of the theo-mythologies embedded at the core of the nation's foundational fabric that have been and continue to be largely unaccounted for in corrective racial discourse through a case study of Denton, Texas. By employing localized interdisciplinary methodological approaches aimed at unveiling the theo-myth which underscores the modern American racial ontology, this study examines how theological white supremacy was homogenized into popular culture in Denton County Texas following the Civil War via neo-Confederate Ku Klux Klan movement, which the author calls Ku Klux Konfederatism, that continues its influence today through localized theo-political institutions, sociocultural systems and cultural 'norms.'

Personification of Grief in Dostoevsky's The Idiot

Undergraduate thesis exploring Fyodor Dostoevsky's portrayal of grief in his work, "The Idiot". When examining a work of art, it is crucial to look at the context surrounding the composition. "The Idiot" presents a fascinating example, in that Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote this novel immediately following the death of his five-month-old daughter, Sofya. This thesis examines the historical background, grief in Russian society, religious grief and guilt, grief in the characterization, and cyclical grief.
