Working masculinities in early modern English drama (William Shakespeare)
Arab, Ronda Ann Columbia University 2002 해외박사(DDOD)
This dissertation examines representations of working men in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century English stage plays. I focus particularly on dramatic representations of the working male body and the discourses of masculinity that are deployed by these representations. An introductory chapter reviews discourses of work and working men available in early modern England and explains the appropriateness of the early modern English theatre as a focus for a study of the masculine identities of working men. Each of the four chapters that follow examines working men as they appear in a specific dramatic genre. Studies of lower class working men have tended to focus on representations of the male working body as grotesque and socially “low” within a high/low binary of cultural value. I argue that the theatre, as a site of breakdown of traditional forms of social hierarchy, provided a fertile venue for both subtle and explicit reworkings of this equation. In the four chapters of my dissertation, I show that working men of low social estate represented on the stage could and often did exemplify attractive English vitality—working men could and did stand as exemplars of English masculinity.

A method for evaluating the integrity of geosynthetic elements of a waste containment system subject to seismic loading is developed using a large strain finite difference numerical computer program. The method accounts for the effect of interaction between the geosynthetic elements and the overlying waste on seismic response and allows for explicit calculation of forces and strains in the geosynthetic elements. Based upon comparison of numerical results to experimental data, an elastic-perfectly plastic interface model is demonstrated to adequately reproduce the cyclic behavior of typical geomembrane-geotextile and geomembrane-geomembrane interfaces provided the appropriate interface properties are used. New constitutive models are developed for the in-plane cyclic shear behavior of textured geomembrane/geosynthetic clay liner (GMX/GCL) interfaces and GCLs. The GMX/GCL model is an empirical model and the GCL model is a kinematic hardening, isotropic softening multi yield surface plasticity model. Both new models allows for degradation in the cyclic shear resistance from a peak to a large displacement shear strength. The ability of the finite difference model to predict forces and strains in a geosynthetic element modeled as a beam element with zero moment of inertia sandwiched between two interface elements is demonstrated using hypothetical models of a heap leach pad and two typical landfill configurations. The numerical model is then used to conduct back analyses of the performance of two lined municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills subjected to strong ground motions in the Northridge earthquake. The modulus reduction "backbone curve" employed with the Masing criterion and 2% Rayleigh damping to model the cyclic behavior of MSW was established by back-analysis of the response of the Operating Industries Inc. landfill to five different earthquakes, three small magnitude nearby events and two larger magnitude distant events. The numerical back analysis was able to predict the tears observed in the Chiquita Canyon Landfill liner system after the earthquake if strain concentrations due to seams and scratches in the geomembrane are taken into account. The apparent good performance of the Lopez Canyon landfill geomembrane and the observed tension in the overlying geotextile after the Northridge event was also successfully predicted using the numerical model.

This study investigates the relationship between work climate and process innovation within 11 Saudi Arabian and 2 American petrochemical plants. The study investigates this relationship in two ways. First, a cross-country means comparison is performed to determine the differences between American and Saudi respondents with regards to their personal values and their perceptions of organizational climate. These differences, in turn, are used to explain the study's finding of higher levels of process innovation among U.S. respondents. Second, regression analyses are used to test 17 hypotheses proposed in this study. These hypothesis tests address the impact the independent variables (both the cultural values and organizational climate factors) have on innovation. This study, unlike most studies conducted in Saudi organizations, looks at the problem from the employee perspective. Specifically, the study focused exclusively on engineers with non-managerial positions within the participating companies. Data for this study was gathered by distributing questionnaires, mostly based on items drawn from previous research, to the engineers in each of the participating organizations. In addition, interviews were conducted with several respondents. This study's findings; suggest that although U.S. respondents have a slight edge over their Saudi counterparts in terms of the personal values believed to foster innovation (e.g., stronger Intuitive Problem Solving and weaker Rational Problem Solving), the real American advantage lies in their perceptions of organizational climate. Overall, American respondents perceive greater levels of Peer Support, Managerial Support, Autonomy, Inter-departmental Coordination, and Involvement, and lower levels of Bureaucracy. These differences, partially explain the higher American scores in the different innovation measures (on average American scores were twice the Saudi scores). In addition, respondent comments and interviews shows Saudis to be concerned with the important role nepotism and favoritism play in determining promotions and pay increases. In addition, Saudis complained of a lack of clarity and guidelines in relation to their responsibilities and obligations. These feelings could further explain the comparatively lower Saudi innovation levels.
