Queering Kinship In ‘The Maiden Who Seeks Her Brothers', Jeana Jorgensen Aug 2015

Queering Kinship In ‘The Maiden Who Seeks Her Brothers', Jeana Jorgensen

Jeana Jorgensen

The fairy tales in the Kinder- und Hausmiirchen, or Children's and Household Tales, compiled by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are among the world's most popular, yet they have also provoked discussion and debate regarding their authenticity, violent imagery, and restrictive gender roles. In this chapter I interpret the three versions published by the Grimm brothers of ATU 451, "The Maiden Who Seeks Her Brothers," focusing on constructions of family, femininity, and identity. I utilize the folkloristic methodology of allomotific analysis, integrating feminist and queer theories of kinship and gender roles. I follow Pauline Greenhill by taking a queer view of …

Molding Messages: Analyzing The Reworking Of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ In Grimm’S Fairy Tale Classics And Dollhouse, Jeana Jorgensen, Brittany Warman Aug 2015

Molding Messages: Analyzing The Reworking Of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ In Grimm’S Fairy Tale Classics And Dollhouse, Jeana Jorgensen, Brittany Warman

Jeana Jorgensen

The story of “Sleeping Beauty” (ATU 410) is one of the most consistently captivating fairy tales. It tells of a cursed princess dreaming in a tower, waiting patiently for her prince to rescue her. Those who recreate the tale for contemporary audiences spin the story anew, reconstructing again and again what it means both to sleep and to awaken. This chapter analyzes two modern television versions of the tale, one for children and one for adults, comparing their incorporation of feminist messages and parallel ideas about shaping narratives and shaping lives. The children’s cartoon Grimm’s Fairy Tale Classics (also called …

Strategic Silences: Voiceless Heroes In Fairy Tales, Jeana Jorgensen Aug 2015

Strategic Silences: Voiceless Heroes In Fairy Tales, Jeana Jorgensen

Jeana Jorgensen

In a number of international fairy tale types, such as ATU 451 ("The Maiden Who Seeks Her Brothers"), the female protagonist voluntarily stops speaking in order to attain the object of her quest. In ATU 451, found in the collected tales of the Grimms and Hans Christian Andersen as well as in oral tradition, the protagonist remains silent while weaving the shirts needed to disenchant her brothers from their birdlike forms. While this silence is undoubtedly disempowering in some ways as she cannot defend herself from persecution and accusations of wickedness, here I argue that the choice to remain silent …

The Leadership Leap: A New Approach For Homeland Security, R. Jeffery Maxfield, Rodger Broome, John R. Fisher Dec 2014

The Leadership Leap: A New Approach For Homeland Security, R. Jeffery Maxfield, Rodger Broome, John R. Fisher

R. Jeffery Maxfield

The world is in chaos, and unfortunately, this most likely will continue. Recent news reports are replete with stories of crises. These events demonstrate the implicit and explicit need for leadership. We believe these crises and their accompanying uncertainty are the reasons people have sought strong leaders – to bring order and sanity to an otherwise uncontrollable world. This is particularly true in homeland security and the emergency services.

Intertextuality In Discourse, Adam Hodges Dec 2014

Intertextuality In Discourse, Adam Hodges

Adam Hodges

This chapter examines the concept of intertextuality as it is used in the analysis of discourse. The exploration begins with a review of the philosophical foundations and terminology associated with the concept, and then discusses several dimensions of intertextuality that have been taken up in the work of discourse analysts, including (re)contextualization, genre, the intertextual gap, parody, reported speech/constructed dialogue, and intertextuality, discourse and power.

The Influence Of A Neo Liberal World View On Health, John Orwat, Michael Dentato, Michael Lloyd Nov 2014

The Influence Of A Neo Liberal World View On Health, John Orwat, Michael Dentato, Michael Lloyd

Michael P. Dentato, PhD, MSW

Neoliberalism is a world view that supports economic liberalization, or freedom from government intervention, as the best way to maximize the effect of trade, or economic efficiency. Liberalism was the most influential economic theory until the Great Depression in the 1930s, when Keynesian economics was introduced and quickly became influential. Keynesian economics also supports the notion that private markets maximize economic efficiency; however, it acknowledges the role of public sector interventions when private sector decisions result in inefficient macroeconomic outcomes. Keynesian economics was very influential from the 1930s until the 1970s; the manifestations may be seen in increased government intervention …

Con: Presidential 'Czars' Undermine Congress And The Constitution, Justin S. Vaughn, José D. Villalobos Feb 2014

Con: Presidential 'Czars' Undermine Congress And The Constitution, Justin S. Vaughn, José D. Villalobos

José D. Villalobos

Since emerging as a right-wing talking point during President Barack Obama’s first year in office, presidential czars have received widespread attention from scholars, pundits, members of Congress, and—after much resistance—the White House itself. Much of what has been written about czars suffers from partisan bias and misinformation. In this essay, we argue that the concern about czars is largely misplaced. First, we examine the lack of conceptual clarity that characterizes most work on czars. Second, we provide data that show that much of the debate about czars is mere rhetoric, the culmination of a decades-long, careless embrace of the term …

Substance Use Disorders & Ethical Considerations For Social Workers, John Orwat, Lynn Boyle, Michael Dentato, Tamara Faulkner-Beard Dec 2013

Substance Use Disorders & Ethical Considerations For Social Workers, John Orwat, Lynn Boyle, Michael Dentato, Tamara Faulkner-Beard

Michael P. Dentato, PhD, MSW

A code of ethics are central to professional social work practice, setting standards by which social workers seek guidance and direction with their work.  Such codes guide ethical decision making and educate professionals about their ethical behavior and challenges and, to some extent, standards of practice.  Practice with substance use disorders, however, encompasses several unique factors that warrant elucidation and discussion. With a focus on the substance use disorder treatment system, this chapter will focus on the various macro, mezzo, and micro level issues that present situations in which ethical principles conflict.  The goal is not to identify “correct” ethical …

Well-Being And Health Considerations For The Aging Lesbian Community: Understanding Age Cohorts, Partnerships And Caregiving Among Other Unique Needs, Michael Dentato, Shelley Craig, Lauren Mcinroy Dec 2013

Well-Being And Health Considerations For The Aging Lesbian Community: Understanding Age Cohorts, Partnerships And Caregiving Among Other Unique Needs, Michael Dentato, Shelley Craig, Lauren Mcinroy

Michael P. Dentato, PhD, MSW

Effectively exploring the well-being, health and mental health needs of the aging lesbian community can often be difficult and multi-leveled, while insuring a competent and comprehensive assessment of needs.  A limited amount of research has specifically attended to the lives and unique experiences of aging lesbians, along with those of the larger LGBT community, therefore such matters remain poorly understood.  Regardless, insuring any dialogue surrounding the needs of older lesbians must underscore their resilience - which for many has included becoming actively engaged as advocates for visibility and change - especially during the late 1960s and Stonewall Inn revolution, as …

Indigenous Knowledge, Sam Grey Dec 2013

Indigenous Knowledge, Sam Grey

Sam Grey

Indigenous knowledge (IK) includes the expressions, practices, beliefs, understandings, insights, and experiences of Indigenous groups, generated over centuries of profound interaction with a particular territory. Its iterations and mechanisms are unique to each community, even where it shares certain features across groups by virtue of being embedded in a wider, common culture. In all locations IK is the foundation of Indigenous governance, ecological stewardship, social, ethical, linguistic, spiritual, medical, food, and economic systems, so that the continual production and reproduction of local, land-based knowledge is the basis of Indigenous identity and sense of place in the world, as well as …

‘Yes, We Can’: The Social Life Of A Political Slogan, Adam Hodges Dec 2013

‘Yes, We Can’: The Social Life Of A Political Slogan, Adam Hodges

Adam Hodges

Political campaigns are often associated with short, catchy slogans, such as the “yes, we can” catchphrase of the Obama campaign in 2008. Slogans such as these do important political work by reminding the public about the candidate as well as the ideas the candidate represents. Even in situations where detailed rehearsals of the candidate’s positions on issues are not possible, slogans index and reinforce those ideas in the minds of voters. Drawing on the Bakhtinian inspired idea of intertextuality, this chapter illustrates the way slogans enter into social circulation as intertextual series and gain traction in American public discourse. The …

The Effect Of Marginalization On The Healthy Aging Of Lgbtq Older Adults, Jeanne E. Sokolec, Michael P. Dentato Dec 2013

The Effect Of Marginalization On The Healthy Aging Of Lgbtq Older Adults, Jeanne E. Sokolec, Michael P. Dentato

Michael P. Dentato

The intersection of sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, healthy aging, and community resources can be framed as a human rights issue that affects the psychological well-being of people within the aging lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) population. Depending on the country and/or culture in which one resides, being an older adult can be celebrated or stereotyped as chronically ill, useless, or uninterested, as well as by other demeaning characteristics. Members of the LGBTQ community may have arrived at stages of older adulthood after experiencing life-long marginalization within a heteronormative environment, geographical location and/or social groups throughout their development. Thus, …
