Anticipated Effects Of The U.S. Mexico City Policy On The Attainability Of The Millennium Development Goals And Future Development Efforts In Sub-Saharan Africa, Katherine Clare Alexander
Anticipated Effects Of The U.S. Mexico City Policy On The Attainability Of The Millennium Development Goals And Future Development Efforts In Sub-Saharan Africa, Katherine Clare Alexander
Anthós
In the low-income countries of sub-Saharan Africa, the performance of pyramidal reproductive health and family planning services with public outreach initiatives has not met the expectations or the needs of the communities they serve. Insufficient case management, limited management capacity and referral and communication failures are challenges faced on the delivery level, while on the policy level these health clinics face insufficient coordination among organizations and weak links between programs (Schneider, 2006). The Mexico City Policy, first introduced by President Reagan in 1984, only exacerbated these challenges for organizations that offer comprehensive contraception and family planning programs by denying any …
Weblogs As Autobiographical Discourse, Matthew Bellinger
Weblogs As Autobiographical Discourse, Matthew Bellinger
Anthós
In this essay, I wish to pursue an – admittedly all too brief – inspection of the weblog as a form of autobiographical discourse. In essence, I want to ask the question, "How does the blog as a medium shape a particular kind of self-representation?" To accomplish this, I will first provide a working definition of the autobiographical blog. Next, I will examine two elements that I believe are key to the blog as a form of discourse; that is, the blog’s temporal logic and its unique author-reader relationship. To conclude, I will argue that the aforementioned elements mark the …
The Venus Victorieuse And Renoir’S Treatment Of The Female Nude, Tess Yinger
The Venus Victorieuse And Renoir’S Treatment Of The Female Nude, Tess Yinger
Anthós
Pierre-‐Auguste Renoir’s sculpture Venus Victorieuse is a mythic image of the ‘ideal’ woman that was influenced by The Judgment of Paris, the Aphrodite of Knidos, and the imagery of Eve in the Garden of Eden. This work is fundamental to realizing Renoir’s overall treatment of the female nude, which is fully epitomized by this formal sculpture.
Pierre-‐Auguste Renoir was an Impressionist artist who dedicated the last three decades of his life primarily to the depiction of the female nude. His representation of the nude, both in painting and sculpture, was monumental and idealized, and he often created images …
FrançOis Jacob (1920-2013). Statue IntéRieure. English -- Criticism And Interpretation, Lindsay Tucker
FrançOis Jacob (1920-2013). Statue IntéRieure. English -- Criticism And Interpretation, Lindsay Tucker
Anthós
The Statue Within: An Autobiography is a seemingly candid reflection of the life and work of the French Nobel laureate, François Jacob. In 1965, he and his research partners (Jacques Monod & André Lwoff) were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for their discoveries concerning genetic control of enzyme and virus synthesis. Nobel Prize recipients are required to provide an autobiographical statement, which can be found on their website (http://www.nobelprize.org). When comparing these two autobiographical works, one finds radical differences in structure and content. I examine here how Jacob approaches the following elements in each work: passage of …
The Imprint Of Foucault’S The Order Of Things On The Works Of François Jacob, Harry Newcomb
The Imprint Of Foucault’S The Order Of Things On The Works Of François Jacob, Harry Newcomb
Anthós
My intent is to examine the interplay between Michel Foucault’s The Order of Things, originally published in France as Les Mots et les choses (Words and Things) in 1966, François Jacob’s history of heredity, The Logic of Life, published in France in 1970, and his autobiography, The Statue Within, 1987.
