Dusk And Dawn And Drops Of Dew, An Update Of A Prose/Poem 9/12/15, Charles Kay Smith
Charles Kay Smith
A Poem on two natural phenomena that can occur on the same joyous day. The poem does not copy Wordsworth's imagery, but attempts to resonate with his spirit. this is a new version of the 9/12/2015 poem "May Lovely Moments Grace your Day" with a new title uploaded on September 20, 2016. While I was working on this poem, a tune I had never heard before kept insisting that I shoud set the poem to music. If it is possible, I'll soon upload this poem as a song.
Remembrance Of Things Past: Collective Memory, Sensory Perception, And The Emergence Of New Interpretive Paradigms, Neil A. Silberman
Remembrance Of Things Past: Collective Memory, Sensory Perception, And The Emergence Of New Interpretive Paradigms, Neil A. Silberman
Neil A. Silberman
This chapter will examine the historical roots of heritage interpretation from antiquity to its classic modern expression in Freeman Tilden’s Interpreting Our Heritage (1957). It will question the relevance of expert-driven presentation—even with the most politically correct intentions, interactive digital applications, and other mass communications media—in the midst of simultaneous processes of globalization and tribalization that have come to typify the early decades of the 21st century. What new narrative forms are emerging? What new relationships between past and present—between heritage sites and their associated modern communities—will compel a new paradigm of interpretation to emerge? This lecture will examine the …

Innovative Representations Of Light, Behaving As Both Particles And Waves, Among The Paintings Of Monet And Renoir, Charles Smith
Innovative Representations Of Light, Behaving As Both Particles And Waves, Among The Paintings Of Monet And Renoir, Charles Smith
Charles Kay Smith
Monet and Renoir, friends collaborating in open air about 1865, discovered that sunlight filtering through a canopy of tree leaves does not produce the splotches and dapples that studio artists conventionally represented at the time but circles of light. Sometimes the circles of light punctuating the shade are clear, separate and crisp, as though light is being propagated as particles, but if the pin-hole gaps between leaves are very close together, they will project compound or superimposed circles that look like the waves that Thomas Young saw in his double slit experiment in 1803-4. Newton’s Opticks published in 1704 had …

American Inequality, A Prose/Poem 3/2/2014, Charles Smith
Charles Kay Smith
Science has made possible an increased productivity that creates an economic surplus--science continually teaches us how to do more with less resources. Why should the fruits of science be enjoyed only by the rich, since most of the innovations of science and technology have been funded or subsidized by citizen taxes. If the added productivity of science were shared among all citizens instead of only the 1%, poverty and homelessness could be ended.

Community Commons: An Analysis Of The Gullah Communities Of South Carolina, Elizabeth Brabec
Community Commons: An Analysis Of The Gullah Communities Of South Carolina, Elizabeth Brabec
Elizabeth Brabec
Descended from slaves brought to the southeast United States between the early 17th and mid 19th centuries, the Gullah-Geechee of South Carolina and Georgia in the United States, have developed distinctive, culturally-expressive creole communities. Juxtaposed against their ancestor’s plantation slave villages, present-day settlements reveal deliberate creations of community and strong connections to place. The Gullah concept of place and community also includes an understanding of the land as commons that is at odds with the dominant culture in the United States.Under slavery the Gullah lived in rigidly geometric settlements. Although this was the only settlement pattern the slaves had experienced, …
The Tyranny Of Narrative History, Heritage, And Hatred In The Modern Middle East, Neil A. Silberman
The Tyranny Of Narrative History, Heritage, And Hatred In The Modern Middle East, Neil A. Silberman
Neil A. Silberman
Narrative is the heart of heritage interpretation, and modern Middle Eastern narratives of national histories tell distinct and conflicting tales. This paper highlights some major genres of archaeological and historical storytelling and analyzes the symbolic messages they convey. A closer look at the juxtaposition of competing story forms reveals a complex intertwining, in which one nation or ethnic group’s “period of desolation” is simultaneous with their rivals’ “Golden Age.”

On Dialogue Studies, Donal Carbaugh
On Dialogue Studies, Donal Carbaugh
Donal Carbaugh
The study of dialogue is a way to open several intellectual arenas for investigation while at the same time offering insights into multiple scenes of practical yet culturally diverse human practices. This article reviews several such arenas including studies of dialogue as a culturally distinctive form of communication, dialogue as an approach to understanding social practices, dialogic ethics, as well as dialogue as an integrative view of not only cultural practice but also natural environments. Throughout, dialogue studies are cast as a broad field with distinct disciplines within it, as holding deep value for understanding diversity in peoples’ practices, as …

True And Useful: On The Structure Of A Two-Level Normative Theory, Fred Feldman
True And Useful: On The Structure Of A Two-Level Normative Theory, Fred Feldman
Fred Feldman
Act-utilitarianism and other theories in normative ethics confront the implementability problem: normal human agents, with normal human epistemic abilities, lack the information needed to use those theories directly for the selection of actions. Two Level Theories have been offered in reply. The theoretical level component states alleged necessary and sufficient conditions formoral rightness. That component is supposed to be true, but is not intended for practical use. It gives an account of objective obligation. The practical level component is offered as an implementable system for the choice of actions by agents lacking some relevant information. It gives an account of …

Notes On The Concept Of Integration, Ernest Allen
Notes On The Concept Of Integration, Ernest Allen
Ernest Allen
Integration was one of those enigmatic notions that crept into the vocabulary of the African American liberation struggle of the twentieth century, which then seemingly turned into a palimpsest, blotting out any trace of its historical origins. A term that "everyone" apparently understood but which most failed to interrogate, integration was commonly perceived as the "inverse" of segregation--which was only true insofar one was willing to reduce each term to a spatial metaphor, with segregation indicating societal "exclusion" and integration signifying "inclusion." This makeshift conceptual simplification was frequently patched over by the drafting of desegregation as an intermediate term standing …
Implications Of Harmonic Serialism For Lexical Tone Association, John J. Mccarthy, Kevin Mullin, Brian W. Smith
Implications Of Harmonic Serialism For Lexical Tone Association, John J. Mccarthy, Kevin Mullin, Brian W. Smith
John J. McCarthy
In some languages, notably Kikuyu, the association of tones and syllables is completely predictable. In this chapter, we show that a derivational version of Optimality Theory, Harmonic Serialism, cannot account for Kikuyu if underlying representations include preassociated tones. If richness of the base is to be maintained, then underlying representations can contain associated tones in no language, even a language with contrastive tone association. This leads to a discussion of alternative ways of lexically encoding these contrasts, such as sequences of identical tones and diacritic accents.
