Daredevil: Legal (And Moral?) Vigilante, Stephen E. Henderson Dec 2016

Daredevil: Legal (And Moral?) Vigilante, Stephen E. Henderson

Stephen E Henderson

In 1964, the comic world was introduced to its first physically disabled practicing attorney: Matt Murdock. Initially a proud graduate of "State College" and later more impressively pedigreed as a graduate of either Columbia or Harvard Law, Murdock supplemented his day job as attorney with a side of vigilante justice as Daredevil.

In 2003, Murdock became the only attorney superhero to appear as the title character in a movie. A truly awful movie, yes, but a movie all the same. And then in 2015, thanks to the talents of Drew Goddard, Murdock became the star of a terrific television series. …

Comments On Joseph Chan, Confucian Perfectionism, Stephen C. Angle Dec 2016

Comments On Joseph Chan, Confucian Perfectionism, Stephen C. Angle

Stephen C. Angle

I approach this encounter with Joseph Chan’s important work on Confucian perfectionism from a fundamentally sympathetic standpoint. Most basically, I agree with two of his key premises. Confucianism is more than a rich historical tradition: it is a live strand of political (and other types of) theory, able to criticize and contribute to our lives today. But for modern Confucianism to be plausible and attractive, it must find a way to embrace the idea of limited government or constitutionalism in a deeper fashion than it did historically. There are many other issues that Joseph covers in his book, and on …

God And Eternal Boredom, Attila Tanyi, Vuko Andric Dec 2016

God And Eternal Boredom, Attila Tanyi, Vuko Andric

Attila Tanyi

God is thought to be eternal. Does this mean that he is timeless? Or is he, rather, omnitemporal? In this paper we want to show that God cannot be omnitemporal. Our starting point, which we take from Bernard Williams’ article on the Makropulos Case, is the intuition that it is inappropriate for persons not to become bored after a sufficiently long sequence of time has passed. If God were omnitemporal, he would suffer from boredom. But God is the greatest possible being and therefore cannot be bored. God, hence, is not omnitemporal. After the presentation of our argument, we address …

Reimagining Lalehzar Street, Sara Khorshidifard Dec 2016

Reimagining Lalehzar Street, Sara Khorshidifard

Sara Khorshidifard

Abandoned buildings are premium assets for reclamation, innovation, and urban growth. Such opportunities
exist in Tehran’s oldest downtown corridor of Lalehzar. Lalehzar was Tehran’s first modern street in the early twentieth century. Toward the middle of the century, Lalehzar became the country’s hub for cinema and theatre goers. This important street today is a dilapidated shopping district that contains Iran’s main retail corridor for electrical appliances. Lalehzar’s decline is mostly a result of its close-down as an entertainment ward between the 1950s and 1970s. The street currently houses numerous rundown, boarded-up, and empty buildings. The jewels of Lalehzar’s buildings are …

Sexuality In The Time Of War, Or, How Rape Became A Crime Against Humanity, Sharon Sliwinski Dec 2016

Sexuality In The Time Of War, Or, How Rape Became A Crime Against Humanity, Sharon Sliwinski

Sharon Sliwinski

Working closely with women's testimonies from the genocides in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, this chapter aims to widen space in contemporary human rights discourse for discussion about sexuality--and in particular about the ways sexual violence functions as one of the forces of sovereign power. There is an intimate and largely non-visible strategy that sovereign power has at its disposal to cleave a subject from their capacity to live a human life, namely, by attacking the individual’s sense of sovereignty over her own body.

Creativity And Color (Double Blind Peer Review), Antonio Scontrino

Antonio Scontrino

Creativity and originality of style are key elements to affirm themselves in an increasingly crowded and competitive world of advertising photography. Some photographers challenge conventions to assert their innovative ideas. Dealing with extremely delicate social issues and using them effectively in the advertising world is a very rare and difficult task. Oliviero Toscani and David LaChapelle marked an era in advertising photography using similar content but with totally different technique and style. They have written and started a new phase of fashion photography, inventing a revolutionary approach to business, communication and public relations. There are many similarities in the two …

Digital Affordances On Wechat Learning Chinese As A Second Language.Pdf, Li Jin Dec 2016

Digital Affordances On Wechat Learning Chinese As A Second Language.Pdf, Li Jin

Li Jin

Different from the traditional term language input, affordance, an ecological term, has been deployed to analyze the perceived opportunities for second language (L2) learning an environment provides to L2 learners. L2 learning occurs only when the semiotic resources in the environment resonate with the learner's capacities such as their abilities, aptitudes, and attitudes. Adopting affordance as a theoretical and analytic construct, this study investigates using qualitative research methods what language development affordances WeChat, one of the most popular Social Networking Systems in Chinese-speaking communities, provided to two university-level Chinese language learners while they were studying abroad in an intensive language …

Writing To Have No Face: The Orientation Of Anonymity In Twitter, Les Hutchinson Dec 2016

Writing To Have No Face: The Orientation Of Anonymity In Twitter, Les Hutchinson

Les Hutchinson

I am no doubt not the only one who writes in order to have no face. Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same: leave it to our bureaucrats and our police to see that our papers are in order. At least spare us their morality when we write.
—Foucault

Foucault isn’t the only one. This chapter is a story about how I wrote to have no face; it is my anonymity story. Late in 2011, I became fascinated by the Guy Fawkes/pirate flag avatars that I saw all over social media. Who …

Down The Rabbit Hole: Challenges And Methodological Recommendations In Researching Writing-Related Student Dispositions, Dana Lynn Driscoll Dec 2016

Down The Rabbit Hole: Challenges And Methodological Recommendations In Researching Writing-Related Student Dispositions, Dana Lynn Driscoll

Dana Driscoll

Researching writing-related dispositions is of critical concern for understanding writing transfer and writing development. However, as a field we need better tools and methods for identifying, tracking, and analyzing dispositions. This article describes a failed attempt to code for five key dispositions (attribution, selfefficacy, persistence, value, and self-regulation) in a longitudinal, mixed methods, multi-institutional study that otherwise successfully coded for other writing transfer factors. We present a “study of a study” that examines our coders’ attempts to identify and code dispositions and describes broader understandings from those findings. Our findings suggest that each disposition presents a distinct challenge for coding …

¿Hablas Castellano? Do You Speak English? O Xerres Mallorquí?: Ideologías Y Actitudes Lingüísticas En Mallorca En Una Era De Crisis Económica, Andrew Lynch, Francisca Aguiló Mora

Andrew Lynch

Desde 2011 hasta 2015, el presidente del gobierno de las Illes Balears
llevó a cabo una serie de reformas lingü.sticas con el supuesto objetivo de abrir
las puertas del mercado laboral local y global a la población balear. En reacción
a estas políticas, una parte significativa de la población balear salió a la calle
acusando al gobierno de enmascarar un ataque a la lengua catalana. A partir de
un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de datos de 316 encuestas a residentes y 20
entrevistas personales, examinamos las actitudes e ideologías que la población
mallorquina alberga respecto al conflicto lingü.stico más reciente, …
