The Specter Of ‘Spirituality’—On The (In)Utility Of An Analytical Category, Chad M. Bauman
The Specter Of ‘Spirituality’—On The (In)Utility Of An Analytical Category, Chad M. Bauman

I would like to make it clear that nothing in this article should be taken as a comment, one way or another, on the question of whether "spirituality" deserves a place in higher education. I consider that issue a distinct one, though no doubt in some ways related to the one I am addressing here, particularly since many of those authors who write about spirituality do so in order to argue for greater institutional and classroom attention to the spiritual lives of college students.

In her response, Nadine Pence helpfully turns the conversation towards actual practices in teaching and the array of practical decisions that have to be made in the classroom and on campuses when it comes to addressing "Big Questions" and students' aspirations and interior lives. Several dimensions of her argument are worth amplification.
Little (White) Women: Locating Whiteness In (De)Constructions Of The American Female From Alcott To Split Britches, Courtney Mohler
Little (White) Women: Locating Whiteness In (De)Constructions Of The American Female From Alcott To Split Britches, Courtney Mohler
Scholarship and Professional Work – Arts
In 1988, the feminist/lesbian performance group Split Britches performed a deconstruction of Louisa May Alcott’s canonical Little Women. Their play, Little Women, the Tragedy (LWTT) highlighted the division within the feminist movement at the time over pornography, and called into question the norms of morality and feminine virtue reflected in and by Alcott’s classic ‘American girls’ novel.’ The play, however, illustrates a problematic construction of feminist/lesbian identity as outside of racial discourse. This paper argues that feminist performances which aim to deconstruct gender and sexuality should also be examined in terms of racialization; the common omission of …

Les chants de Maldoror sont un texte visuel. Les images présenté es, souvent violentes, frappent le lecteur pris dans son conformisme. A l'heure oùles rayons X et la psychanalyse avancent sur la scène médicale, à l'heure oùles théories de l'évolution de Darwin transforment les idées reçues, l'on perçoit chez Redon comme chez Ducasse avant lui, une volonté d'exposer ce qui était au préalable enfoui, invisible. Larves et microbes se côtoient dans les tableaux de Redon, comme Ducasse se plaît à décrire en détails les divers organes que Maldoror, lénigmatique protagoniste des Chants, sort avec soin du vagin de la …

Durante las últimas décadas, la literatura del Caribe Hispano se ha encargado de integrar representaciones alternativas de la nación en respuesta a un canon estrictamente universal, hegemónico y homogéneo constituido a través de la inclusión de cuerpos viables y la exclusión de cuerpos desviados, ya sean en términos de género, raza y orientación sexual. Como apunta Emilio Bejel, el imaginario cubano de la modernidad exhibe a un José Martí modelo referencial de la nación puesto que su origen criollo, activismo en política, participación en la Guerra de Independencia de 1895 y su muerte en plena batalla proveen una imagen heroica …
Ephemeral Mechanisms And Historical Explanation, Stuart Glennan
Ephemeral Mechanisms And Historical Explanation, Stuart Glennan
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
While much of the recent literature on mechanisms has emphasized the superiority of mechanisms and mechanistic explanation over laws and nomological explanation, paradigmatic mechanisms—e.g., clocks or synapses – actually exhibit a great deal of stability in their behavior. And while mechanisms of this kind are certainly of great importance, there are many events that do not occur as a consequence of the operation of stable mechanisms. Events of natural and human history are often the consequence of causal processes that are ephemeral and capricious. In this paper I shall argue that, notwithstanding their ephemeral nature, these processes deserve to be …

This paper describes the difficulties of being born into an emotionally and intellectually dysfunctional family headed by two child-parents who had neither the skill nor interest nor desire to be thoughtful parents, and who were saddled with all the intellectual and emotional baggage of fundamentalist protestantism that they passed on to their children, forcing the author of the essay to untangle many personal knots of confusion and pain on his path toward autonomy and peace.

Celebrity And The Spectacle Of Nation, Jason N. Goldsmith
Celebrity And The Spectacle Of Nation, Jason N. Goldsmith
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
A decidedly promiscuous brand of renown, celebrity has a bad reputation. That reputation was characterised by Daniel Boorstin, who coined what has become a near-axiomatic definition of the celebrity as 'a person who is known for his well-knowness'.1The tautological bent of Boorstin's definition seems to suggest the meretricious nature of celebrities, famous not because they have done anything to merit acclaim, but because their images have been widely publicised and promoted. According to this logic, celebrities are superficial personalities, bold-faced names, air-brushed faces; they are slick images manufactured for the moment. Celebrities signify all that is shallow about …

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Reconsiderations of home have been crucially examined in Caribbean cultural productions. As Jamil Khader argues in her article on “Subaltern Cosmopolitanism: Community and Transnational Mobility in Caribbean Postcolonial Feminist Writings,” Caribbean feminists are faced with the task of challenging a conventional idea of home that has historically located women and other marginal subjects under conditions of oppression and exploitation. In focusing on the narratives by Aurora Levins Morales, Rosario Morales and Esmeralda Santiago, she points out the infinite sense of homelessness that invades, in particular, these Puerto Rican individuals who need to find more productive manners to articulate “home” while …
Entering A Systemic Revolution, David S. Mason
Entering A Systemic Revolution, David S. Mason
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
The collapse of the United States as the global hegemon constitutes a “systemic revolution” that will transform both the U.S. and the rest of the globe. Such a revolution is different from “normal” political revolutions, which entail an overthrow of the government. A systemic revolution ushers in even broader and more enduring changes in economy, society and culture, and it also transcends national boundaries, affecting other countries and the global system itself. It is a global paradigm shift, and we are right smack in the middle of it.

The article links Galdós's review of Meyerbeer's opera La Africana, published in La Nación in 1865, with his reference to that opera in the "Viaje de novios" [Honeymoon] chapter of Fortunata y Jacinta. The romantic triangle of Sélica, Vasco de Gama, and Inés is compared to that of Fortunata as ambiguous examples of the Orientalized "Other."
Questioning The Resort To U.S. Hegemonic Military Force, Harry Van Der Linden
Questioning The Resort To U.S. Hegemonic Military Force, Harry Van Der Linden
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
This paper seeks to defend the thesis that this American project of military hegemony has a variety of global security costs of such combined magnitude that there is a strong prima facie case against the resort to armed force by the United States, so that its wars might be wrong even when there is a just cause. My thesis is based on the jus ad bellum principle of proportionality.

With its flatulent hero, the Homeric Hymn to Hermes has long been a source of trouble for scholars. While early 20th century scholars dismissed the hymn as having no serious purpose, Clay (1989), Harrell (1991), and Johnston (2002) have discussed the acquisition of timê or questions of cult practice as its purpose.

Jesus Christ As Poetic Symbol: Wilhelm Bousset’S Contribution To The Faith-History Debate, Brent A. R. Hege
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Wilhelm Bousset, a leading member of the religionsgeschichtliche school and author of a seminal work on early Christology, Kyrios Christos, is typically regarded by reviewers of his work as a classic nineteenth-century liberal who sought a secure foundation for faith in the historical Jesus. However, this view of Bousset fails to appreciate the significant development of his theological perspective on the relationship between faith and history, a perspective that underwent a profound shift due to the influence of the English historian Thomas Carlyle and the Kantian philosopher Jakob Friedrich Fries. It is the influence of these two figures that enables …

Geschichte Und Historie: The Problem Of Faith And History, Brent A. R. Hege
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Faith at the Intersection of History and Experience is the first study in English of the theology of the German Lutheran theologian, Georg Wobbermin (1869–1943), who has been called a “captain of the liberal rearguard.” Widely read and discussed in his own lifetime, Wobbermin’s theology fell into obscurity as dialectical theology rose to prominence in the years following the First World War.
Hege presents the major themes of Wobbermin’s theology, particularly his analysis of the relationship between faith and history and his development of a religio-psychological theological method that places faith at the intersection of history and experience. Wobbermin’s critiques …

This essay studies Ducasse’s various stylistic strategies for triggering the reader’s pleasure, or lack thereof. By considering Riffaterre’s concept of style, I demonstrate that Ducasse’s sentence organization and word choice underscore negation. Analyzing a passage from canto three highlights the stylistic means used to hinder the reader’s pleasure.
