The Sound-Symbolic Expression Of Animacy In Amazonian Ecuador, Janis B. Nuckolls

Faculty Publications

Several anthropologists of Amazonian societies in Ecuador have claimed that for Achuar [1] and Quichua speaking Runa [2,3,4] there is no fundamental distinction between humans on the one hand, and plants and animals on the other. A related observation is that Runa and Achuar people share an animistic cosmology whereby animals, plants, and even seemingly inert entities such as rocks and stones are believed to have a life force or essence with a subjectivity that can be expressed. This paper will focus on Quichua speaking Runa to seek linguistic evidence for animacy by examining the sound-symbolic properties of a class …

Influence Of Technology On Adolescent Development And Spiritual Formation, Kevin Daniel Monahan

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Adolescence is the time when a person develops perceptions about religious thoughts and with proper guidance, can be a stronger follower of Christ. The purpose of this project is to analyze the effects of technology on young people and to show a direct correlation between the influence of technology and spiritual growth of adolescents. I will argue that both the positive and negative influences of technology have made our students more informative yet less personally intimate. This shift of personal interaction presents a challenge to the cognitive development and spiritual formation of all students.

Before It’S Too Late: A Digital Game Preservation White Paper, Henry Lowood, Devin Monnens, Zach Vowell, Judd Ethan Ruggill, Ken S. Mcallister, Andrew Armstrong

Library Scholarship

Over the last four decades, electronic games have profoundly changed the way people play, learn, and connect with each other. Despite the tremendous impact of electronic games, however, until recently, relatively few programs existed to preserve them for future generations of players and researchers. Recognizing the need to save the original content and intellectual property of electronic games from media rot, obsolescence, and loss, the Game Preservation Special Interest Group of the International Game Developers Association has issued a white paper summarizing why electronic games should be preserved, problems that must be solved to do so, some potential solutions, and …

First Cotton, S. Ray Granade

Creative Works

As a boy, I rode a bicycle all over Evergreen, Alabama. I could go anywhere, though a few places (particularly the “black sections”) created a bit of anxiety on occasion. The only restriction my parents imposed was that I not ride after dark, for the bike had no fenders (and thus no lights or reflectors of any kind). It was not unusual for me to ride across town to visit a friend and cover several miles at a time. The sturdy bike’s large, knobby, heavy-duty tires made every terrain accessible in an era before anyone used the designation “trail bike.”
