Item En Route to the Ahlul Bayt: Shia Narrative and Symbolism Through Pilgrimage, Imagery, and Politics(2021-12-08) Hasta, Ambarina Z.This thesis analyzes major components and stories from the Shia narrative while connecting tropes and themes from this heritage back to forms of modern day expression of identity. In particular, these forms explored are: visual imagery, pilgrimage and shrine visitation, and politics. Furthermore, this thesis connects the dots between the expression of identity and the interconnectedness between Shia spaces, images, and political ideology. This thesis focuses particularly on the regions of Lebanon and Iraq. The body of work includes a written component on background and relevant analyses. Furthermore, the thesis includes a photographic series taken by me from my own visits to Iraq and Lebanon, to fully exemplify the topic through a personal and visual lens. The photo series includes descriptive and analytical captions that aim to give context and connect back to the elements addressed in the written segment of this thesis.Item Operation Iraqi Freedom: The Unjust War of Generation Y(2022-03-10) Philippus, Joshua M.Operation Iraqi Freedom: The Unjust War of Generation Y is an in depth look at three different Just War Theories. First, the Christian Just War Theory, the Classical Greek idea of Just War, and the Just War ideas of the Yoruba Tribe of West Africa are examined. In the second chapter the Christian model of Just War Theory is then applied to Operation Iraqi Freedom as a while in an effort to determine the "justness" of said operation. Finally, the author uses letters written home from his time spent fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom to illuminate what combat is actually like and how that looks in juxtaposition with the idea of any war being "just".
