Video Art: Cultural Transformations, Curtis L. Carter
Video Art: Cultural Transformations, Curtis L. Carter
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
In the 1960s, there were efforts to move broadcast television in the direction of the experimental video art by altering television's conventional format. Fred Barzyk, in his role as a producer and director at WGBH-TV in Boston, was uniquely positioned to act as a link between television and experimental video artists who normally would not have had access to the technology available at a major broadcast facility. As the leading innovator in the beginnings of video art, the Korean American Nam June Paik (1932-2006) deserves special mention. His work bridges the worlds of art, video technology, and television. The video …
Creation As An Ecumenical Problem: Renewed Belief Through Green Experience, Thomas Hughson
Creation As An Ecumenical Problem: Renewed Belief Through Green Experience, Thomas Hughson
Theology Faculty Research and Publications
Loss of a sense of creaturehood and of members has occurred across the lines of divided churches in a secular context. The author explores the question whether green experience of nature can be a path toward a renewed sense of creaturehood. Bernard Lonergan’s distinction between faith and belief allows for identifying a primordial faith that interprets the cosmos as numinous. Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises interprets primordial faith with the biblical word of God as Creator. Why not develop local ecumenical experiments in reevangelization that address green experience?

‘The Military Mirror Of Kai’: Swordsmanship And A Medieval Text In Early Modern Japan, Michael Wert
‘The Military Mirror Of Kai’: Swordsmanship And A Medieval Text In Early Modern Japan, Michael Wert
History Faculty Research and Publications
Swordsmanship emerged as a new field of knowledge in early modern Japan (1600–1868), a time of relative peace. During the most violent periods of Japanese history, the latter half of the medieval period (1185–1600), samurai conducted warfare mostly on horseback, using the bow and arrow, or by leading massive armies filled with soldiers who used pikes, halberds, and even firearms. In this paper, I will trace the origins of early modern swordsmanship to the late 16th century during the transition between the medieval and early modern periods, when teachers of swordsmanship and their sword ‘styles’ first appeared in texts. Of …

Reconfiguring Identity In Schelling’S Würzburg System, Michael Vater
Reconfiguring Identity In Schelling’S Würzburg System, Michael Vater
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
I consider the identity-theory of the Würzburg System as part of Schelling's five-year project to provide a metaphysical foundation for Naturphilosophie that is free of Kantian/Fichtean subjectivism and obeys the key constraint formulated by the German appropriation of Spinoza's: there can be no "egress from the absolute," i.e., no deduction of the limitations of finitude such as the Wissenschaftslehre provided. The demands of epistemic security (the identity of that which knows and what is known) and ontological simplicity (the impossibility of ontological commitment both to an absolute and to individuals) are met by reworking the theory of the absolute's 'cognition' …
Beauty And The Beastly Prime Minister, John J. Su
Beauty And The Beastly Prime Minister, John J. Su
English Faculty Research and Publications
This essay examines the so-called “turn to beauty” in British fiction since the 1990s as a response to the political and social consequences of Thatcherism. Focusing primarily on four texts—Jonathan Coe’s What a Carve Up! (1994), Julian Barnes’s England, England, (1998), Alan Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty (2004), and Zadie Smith’s On Beauty (2005)—this essay argues that conceptions of beauty and beastliness delineate possible boundaries to the neoliberalism with which Thatcherism is associated. Two distinct phases of the beauty/beastliness rhetoric are identified: an ironized utopianism in the 1990s; an ambivalent embrace of global humanism in the 2000s.
“I’D Rather Be In Afghanistan”: Antinomies Of Battle: Los Angeles, Gerry Canavan
“I’D Rather Be In Afghanistan”: Antinomies Of Battle: Los Angeles, Gerry Canavan
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article reads Battle: Los Angeles (2011) against the grain to argue that the film possesses an antiwar undertow running unexpectedly counter to its surface-level pro-military politics. The article uses the antinomy structuring Battle: Los Angeles as the opportunity to explore the pro- and anti-war politics of science fiction alien invasion film more generally, as well as consider the role of cooperation with the military in Hollywood blockbusters. The article closes with a Jamesonian reading of “the army”: as a kind of utopia as registered by mainstream cultural texts like Battle: Los Angeles.

The Anonymous Theology Of Modern Family, Conor M. Kelly
The Anonymous Theology Of Modern Family, Conor M. Kelly
Theology Faculty Research and Publications
The popular television show Modern Family follows sitcom conventions and attempts to send a moral message about how relatives can live well together. An examination of the specific content of this message shows that it prioritizes self-giving love for the sake of forgiveness and reconciliation. This creates a recognizable parallel with the Christian conception of agape, and a discussion of this notion in the work of Karl Rahner in conjunction with his idea of the “anonymous Christian” allows for the identification of Modern Family’s moral vision as an anonymous theology of family ripe with theological significance and pedagogical potential.

'Un País Casi Extranjero': Nación, Civilización Y Frontera En Las Crónicas De Viaje De Manuel Payno, Pilar Bellver
Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications
A pesar del creciente interés en la literatura de viajes sobre México, son muy pocos los estudios que exploran el modo en que los propios autores mexicanos se sirven de este género para crear y definir la nación tras la independencia. Este artículo analiza ‘El Río Bravo del Norte’, una serie de crónicas publicadas por Manuel Payno sobre sus viajes por las entonces llamadas ‘Provincias Orientales’ en los años inmediatamente anteriores a la guerra con los EE.UU. Haciéndose eco de la visión del norte como territorio desértico y salvaje que caracterizó el imaginario cultural colonial, Payno presenta la frontera como …

High Risk, High Yield: Embodied Facilitation For Racial Justice In Writing Workshops Across The Disciplines, Beth Godbee, Jasmine Kar Tang
High Risk, High Yield: Embodied Facilitation For Racial Justice In Writing Workshops Across The Disciplines, Beth Godbee, Jasmine Kar Tang
English Faculty Research and Publications
If one of the lifelines of WAC involves facilitating workshops with/for faculty, TAs, tutors, and others across campus, then how can we better attend to issues of racial diversity? This interactive session looks at the intersection of the writing center pedagogies and critical race studies. Featuring reflection on a series of movement-based workshops, the co-authors argue for a high-risk, high-yield model of facilitation, one that requires awareness of social locations, identities, and histories.
