La Seducción De La Mirada: Manuel Vázquez Montalbán Y Ana Rossetti, Carmela Ferradans Sep 1997

La Seducción De La Mirada: Manuel Vázquez Montalbán Y Ana Rossetti, Carmela Ferradans

Carmela Ferradans

El presente artIculo es un estudio comparado de la poesIa de Manuel Vazquez Montalbdn (Barcelona, 1939) y Ana Rossetti (San Fernando, Cádiz, 1950) emprendido a través del concepto de la mirada, the gaze, que ambos poetas utilizan en textos que tienen como base distintas imagenes publicitarias. Los dos poetas rescatan el contenido erótico de los anuncios, vaciando los mensajes publicitarios de su dimension consumista, pero los resultados son diametralmente opuestos. La mirada que estructura los poemas de Vazquez Montalbdn analizados aquI confirma las posiciones tradicionales del sujeto-masculino, que mira y controla la imagen sin ser visto, y del objeto-femenino, que …

"I'M Gonna Git Medieval On Your Ass": Pulp Fiction For The 90s--The 1190s, Daniel Terkla, Thomas L. Reed, Jr. Sep 1997

"I'M Gonna Git Medieval On Your Ass": Pulp Fiction For The 90s--The 1190s, Daniel Terkla, Thomas L. Reed, Jr.

Daniel Terkla

Rarely does contemporary film offer any zippy ephemera to grace the office doors of medievalists, since film-makers like Quentin Tarantino do not often look to our discipline's corpus for inspiration. Imagine, then, the mix of incredulity and delight we two professors felt while taking in the pawn-shop scene in Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. After being painfully violated--anally raped, to be precise--and then rescued in a most chivalric manner by one of his minions, Marsellus Wallace swears an oath to Zed, his "hillbilly boy" rapist: "I'm gonna git Medieval on your ass" (Pulp Fiction 131). What? we thought: "Medieval"? Why, we asked, …

Aaron Gerow

For a 1997 issue of the Japanese intellectual journal Yuriika (Eureka) which was devoted to the theme "Japanese Cinema: From Kitano On," I was asked to write an article selecting the 30 best Japanese films made since Kitano debuted as a director in 1989. While complicating the notion of the "best" list, I took the opportunity to select films that complicated the notions of both "Japan" and "film." Without ranking them, I grouped the films under the categories: "The Appearance of Others," "The Encounter with Death," "Wandering Identities," "Alternative Identity," and "New Japanese Entertainment Film."

The Beginning And End Of The Church, Vaughan S. Roberts Jun 1997

The Beginning And End Of The Church, Vaughan S. Roberts

Vaughan S Roberts

This paper brings together some organizational insights from within the Church (Carl Dudley’s ideas on rigorous and relational faith) and from outside the Church (Nils Brunsson’s thinking on action and political groupings) to explore how these might inform an understanding of the Church’s telos or purpose. It concludes by arguing that Alasdair MacIntyre’s notion of universities as places of constrained disagreement might also be a good model for this telos.


The Sea Of Faith: After Dover Beach?, Vaughan S. Roberts Jun 1997

The Sea Of Faith: After Dover Beach?, Vaughan S. Roberts

Vaughan S Roberts

The metaphor of ‘the sea of faith’ comes from Matthew Arnold’s poem Dover Beach (1867) and has been explored subsequently by a number of theologians, notably Don Cupitt in his BBC TV series of the same name and the Sea of Faith Network founded to explore his ideas. This paper explores how the image of the sea functions in Arnold’s poem and his The Forsaken Merman before arguing that R. S. Thomas’s use of the sea in his poem Tidal provides a better theological metaphor than Arnold’s.

Autobiographies By Americans Of Color 1980-1994: An Annotated Bibliography, Rebecca Stuhr Dec 1996

Autobiographies By Americans Of Color 1980-1994: An Annotated Bibliography, Rebecca Stuhr

Rebecca A Stuhr

This book compiles and provides a brief summary of autobiographies published or reissued during the last decades of the 20th century. This is an excellent source for finding personal accounts of growing up just after the end of slavery through the civil rights movement, experiences for Japanese Americans during World War II, the American Indian Movement, and the growing movement for rights for immigrant labor in the United States. Many of these autobiographies were written to provide an account of family history, hardship endured, and accomplishments achieved for the next generation.


Law Review Story, Lisa Pruitt Dec 1996

Law Review Story, Lisa Pruitt

Lisa R Pruitt

This essay is the story of the author’s election as editor-in-chief of the Arkansas Law Review and of her tenure in that role. The story implicates a range of legal issues including hate speech, sexual harassment, sex discrimination, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It is also the tale of the author’s feminist epiphany and of the law school’s failure to respond to the harassment. It was published in the 50th anniversary issue of the Arkansas Law Review.


Legal Rhetoric And Revolutionary Change, Richard Kay Dec 1996

Legal Rhetoric And Revolutionary Change, Richard Kay

Richard Kay

If we define revolutionary change as the alteration of fundamental political arrangements in ways inconsistent with accepted understandings of law, we would not expect to find the invocation of law in justification of that change. In fact, however, such justification is not uncommon. This paper examines three cases exposing differing attitudes to legal justification of revolution-- the English Revolution of 1688-89, the secession of the Southern states at the beginning of the American Civil War and the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. In each case the paper describes the revolutionaries' use of legal language. It then shows how the use or …

Excavating The Expendable Working Classes In "The Imperialist", Teresa Hubel Dec 1996

Excavating The Expendable Working Classes In "The Imperialist", Teresa Hubel

Teresa Hubel

You can’t get much more middle class than Sara Jeanette Duncan’s turn-of-the-century novel The Imperialist. Its middle-classness calls out from virtually every page and through almost every narrative technique the novelist employs from her choice of theme—the debate over imperial federation, conducted some hundred years ago primarily in elite political circles—to her setting—the social world of the commercial classes who live in a prosperous southern Ontario town (which she names Elgin but which most critics suspect is Duncans own hometown of Brantford in very thin disguise)—and finally to her protagonists, the Murchisons, whose middle-class values are proudly paraded at every …

Some Dilemmas Confronting The Educational Theatre, Jared Brown Dec 1996

Some Dilemmas Confronting The Educational Theatre, Jared Brown

Jared Brown

"Educational theatre": the term itself implies a dichotomy, or perhaps an amalgam of two quite different phenomena. A tension between the demands of education and the demands of the theatre does indeed exist, and it is the job of the teacher-artist to maintain a harmonious balance between them.

The Trouble With Truthmakers, Damian Cox Dec 1996

The Trouble With Truthmakers, Damian Cox

Damian Cox

This paper argues that theories of truth which seek to specify the ontological ground of true statements by appealing to an ontology of truth-makers face a severe and possibly insurmountable obstacle in the form of logically complex statements. I argue that there is no apparent way to develop an account of logically complex truth within the confines of a modest and plausible ontology of truth-makers and to this end criticize independent attempts by Armstrong and Pendlebury to develop such an account.

A Gruesome Problem For The Curve-Fitting Solution, Scott Devito Dec 1996

A Gruesome Problem For The Curve-Fitting Solution, Scott Devito

Scott DeVito

This paper is a response to Forster and Sober's [1994] solution to the curve-fitting problem. If their solution is correct, it will provide us with a solution to the New Riddle of Induction as well as provide a basis for choosing realism over conventionalism. Examining this solutions is also important as Forster and Sober incorporate it in much of their other philosophical work (see Forster [1995a, b, 1994] and Sober [1996, 1995, 1993]). I argue that Forster and Sober’s solution is subject precisely to the problem they seek to solve. They provide a method of choosing among hypotheses but only …
