Abstract
This paper examines the poem, "Prose pour des Esseintes," written by Stephane Mellarme. The paper suggests that this poem occupies a central place in discussion of Mallarme's works, as through it we can consider and examine his poetics. The paper shows how this poem deals directly with Mallarme's thoughts and questions on the nature of poetic composition and the role of the poet and how it produces various, often contradictory, interpretations.

From the Paper
"In summary, Prose summons up the hyperbolic power of language from the grave of mundane usage of language for its representative function. Language is so powerful in its sound and sense that the poet is stunned into silence, but the poetic voice is found at the end and expressed through the resurrection of the written word. The grimoire becomes a magic spell of resurrection, a 'grammar' of the beauty of the poetic form, and a guide as to how the poem was written as well as how it should be read. Homophony gives rise to significance, not merely sound for its own sake, and to word flowers, the signifiers of beauty found in the new poetic relationship between sound and sense. The flower poem rises musically, creating a visible and audible charme, which supports its Idees and creates a "rythme entre des rapports". All of this is caused by the hyperbolic form of the poem, as words and sounds evoke their own meanings, somewhat independently of the poet. The ideal is no longer out of the poet or reader's reach, and it is within poetry that it can be experienced, and we experience it in Prose pour des Esseintes. For what symbolises the ideal in Mallarme is the ability of poetry to create a meaning or idea out of itself, rather than expressing a given idea through language, and here beauty is evoked through the depersonalisation of poetry and through the mystere of language."

Abstract
In this paper, Rimbaud implies the circle of life and death, as the pain and pleasure principles that are brought forth in the atmosphere of this poem. The cycle had begun with the painful effects of lice, but the dual sexual nurturing of the sisters brought an ecstasy that would finally come down as his pain lessened-via "welling and dying, endlessly" in the dual nature of pleasure and pain in the poem's eroticism.

Abstract
This paper compares Claude Debussy's music "Prelude a lapres-midi dun faune" (1894) (Prelude to the afternoon of a faun) and the impressionist poem upon which it was based, Stephane Mallarme's "Lapres-midi dun faune." It discusses the role impressionism played in the visual arts in the development of impression in French music at the end of the nineteenth century. A discussion of the movement away from Wagnerian and Romantic ideals is also included.

From the Paper
"By the late nineteenth century, Romantic music in Europe had reached the pinnacle of its success, in terms of both mastery of the art form and popularity among the public. Epitomized by the musical accomplishments of the Germans (Wagner and Brahms) and those of the Russians (Tchaikovosky), music composed in the Romantic style was markedly sentimental and quite non-evasive in its presentation of ideas, particularly those of "true passion" (Wright, 320). It was in direct opposition to these norms of expression of true passion through sentimentality and overt symbolism that the Impressionist movement in music began. Beginning in France and drawing its ideals from the rebellions against Romantic and Classical styles in such other artistic mediums as painting and literature (particularly poetry), Impressionist music attempted to express true emotion in more subtle ways, in ways other than "sheer volume of sound and epic length" (Ibid). A principal example of this new fin-de-sicle style can be found in Claude Debussy's Prelude lapres-midi dun faune (1894) (Prelude to the afternoon of a faun). Based loosely on Stephane Mallarm's 1876 poetic work, Lapres-midi dun faune, the Prelude exemplifies the Impressionist tendency to suggest ideas rather than explicitly set them forth. Debussy, in working in close conjunction with Impressionists representing alternate artistic mediums, extracts many of the Prelude's compositional strategies from ideals prevalent in Impressionist art and Symbolist poetry. The resulting composition exhibits all the ideals of the Impressionist movement, and it served to bring the Impressionist movement to the general public, quickly preparing the way for the genesis of modern music."

Abstract
The first part of this paper expounds on Stephan Korner's discussion, in "The Philosophy of Mathematics, of the nature of mathematics, and the three main schools of thought relating mathematics to philosophy. The paper continues with a discussion on logicism and why it provides the clearest way to look at mathematical concepts and the best way to explain mathematical philosophy.

From the Paper
"Mathematics is an indispensable science that justifies and confirms many aspects of other scientific subject matter. Mathematics relies on conclusions not assumptions and evidence is required to confirm theoretical entities as true. Of course the debates exist as to which school of thought holds the most validity. Mathematical realism will always be different to each of these philosophical schools and arguments can be found to both support and reject each school of thought."

Abstract
This paper discusses Nancy Stephan's work, "The Hour of Eugenics: Race, Gender, and Nation in Latin America," in which she illustrates effectively how race and gender were important tools in the building of nations in Latin America. The paper examines Stephan's arguments and discusses how it relates to the history of eugenics in Mexico and Argentina, in particular.

From the Paper
"In Mexico, there was actually a short-lived experiment with sterilization based on eugenics. The Mexican Society of Eugenics was launched, in 1932, during what Stepan describes as a period of conservatism and political nationalism, a form of extreme patriotism. During this time fanatical declarations by political leaders had great impact. If the Mexican "race" was to be improved and not watered down, some members of the eugenics society declared, sex education was needed and even "eugenic sterilization."
"In 1921 sterilization in Mexico had already been implemented for criminals. And, by 1932, the fanatically anticlerical governor of Veracrux, Adalberto Tejada, authorized the first (and only) eugenic sterilization law in the nation. Tejeda's program of sterilization primarily targeted the Catholic Church than it was for any kind of pure race promotion, but it also was a program that was launched following the successful, science-backed, Mexican sterilization of improving the quality of livestock."

Abstract
The following paper will look at phyllotaxis and its relationship to physics. Specifically, the next several pages will look at what phyllotaxis is, what it involves, and some of the important advances that have been made in recent years which aid our understanding of a natural phenomenon that has puzzled physicists, students of the natural sciences, and botanists for generations. Of especial note, the next several pages will look at the work of scholars like Stephane Douady and Yves Couder - and Hans Meinhardt and Andre Koch - and note how the actions of "diffusion" and "reaction" (concepts which appear more than once in the realm of physics) play an inestimable role in explaining why phyllotaxis occurs in the manner it does. In particular, Douady and Couder provide novice students with an exceptionally lucid and instructive discussion of how "repulsion" actually makes phyllotaxis possible. In the end, while many things about phyllotaxis remain to be learned, one thing that is now beyond dispute is the relationship of physics to this arresting feature of the natural world.

Abstract
This paper briefly outlines the storyline of this novel and proceeds to examine the symbolism that is open for the reader to interpret. It shows how there are several different approaches and methods of interpretation found within the story: how each of the men approaches their situation, how each man perceives the others, the interaction between the men and the people on shore, and finally the conflict between the men and unyielding nature.

From the Paper
"According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, an interpreter is "a person who interprets" (Merriam). To interpret means "to explain or tell the meaning of: present in understandable terms or to conceive in the light of individual belief, judgment, or circumstance"(Merriam). Using this understanding of these words, since each of the men is trying to explain their beliefs about the circumstances that they find themselves in, it can be said that each of the men in "The Open Boat" by Stephen Crane are interpreters."

Abstract
The issue of violence is addressed in these two stories. They allow the reader to experience on a very superficial level, the horrors and violence that the African Americans went through during the period of slavery. The books documents physical, sexual and emotional abuse and violence.

From the Paper
"Slavery is an undisputed fact. No matter how disquieting this fact may seem that the slaves were treated brutally is vividly seen through the narratives of the slaves. From Fredrick Douglass to Harriet Jacobs the violence, sexual and racial is seen to be a common facet of their lives. The ironic aspect to this violence is that the very people who upheld equality and democracy were fostering the racial elements within the paradigm of society. Considering here the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave published in June 1845 and Maggie, A Girl of the Street by Stephan Crane we shall explore the different dimensions of violence in the texts. Violence can be emotional or physical---in both circumstances the effect is tragic and devastating."
