College Music Society National Conference, Kansas City. September 20, 2002, Oscar E. Macchioni

Oscar Macchioni

Peer- review selection. Lecture -Recital

Juan José Castro composed Tangos for piano in 1941. Perhaps, this is the first work for piano by a major Argentinean art-music composer that includes tango rhythm. Each tango describes a male character associated with the Argentine tango, exploring the musical, social, and cultural representation of these characters.

The first piece in the set “Evocación” (Evocation) serves as an introduction to the following four tangos. In an impressionistic and improvisatory manner, Castro evokes the famous tango La Cumparsita. The second piece “Llorón” (Whiner) portrays a common character of tango’s lyrics: a male whining, crying, and …

The Question Of Quality And Qualifications: Writing Inferior Poems As Qualitative Research, Jane Piirto

Jane Piirto

Alternative forms of data representation have been widely recommended, including the writing of poems as educational research. The arts have their own ways. What qualifications do arts-based researchers need to have? How does one judge the quality of the product? Using part of a novel and three of her own poems as illustrations, the author, a qualitative researcher and literary writer, conjectures about the notion of quality and qualification in the use of art forms as qualitative research.

Hope From Hopelessness: Finding Contemporary Southern Literature Through Anne Tyler’S Use Of The Sound And The Fury, Amy M. Elliott

Amy M. Elliott

Critical debate focuses on the trend of Southern writers and the classification of their work within the tradition of Southern literature. One side of the argument supports contemporary writers as part of the Southern literary tradition. That is, it proposes that contemporary Southern writers continue to write Southern literature not by writing with the same style and magnitude as Faulkner and Warren, but by basing their writing on this tradition and modernizing it. An excellent example lies in Anne Tyler’s use of William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury as a foundation for her Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. Through …

The Shriners, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

This interview i gave to the Vancouver Sun bring up some of the controversies surrounding the Shriner, a Masonic organization that is widely known for its hospitals for children and its sponsorship of circuses and parades. Although I "walked the hot sands", i.e. am a Shriner, I cannot say oi have been enthusiastic about some of its nuances. The article perhaps reflects that.

Freemasonry And Phi Beta Kappa, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

In Washington my offices actually permit a glimpse of the offices of Phi Beta Kappa across the street. i would have to climb on the roof to see one of the Masonic temples in the city, but they are also close. So too both the Greek honor societies and Greek social fraternities are linked historically with Freemasonry, a connection little understood and little explored, and which this article helps to explain.

Adverse Juvenile Sex Ratio In Kerala By Vibhuti Patel, Professor Vibhuti Patel

Professor Vibhuti Patel

Census 2001 has revealed a deterioration in the juvenile malefemale sex ratio in Kerala. Hospital birth records can help establish sex ratios at birth and thus the prevalence of female foeticide. However, civil society and the state will need to pitch in to check the misuse of technology for female foeticide in Kerala

State Repression: Behind The Mask Of Democracy ..., Ashok Agrwaal

Ashok Agrwaal

There has never been a satisfactory solution to the problem of handling / controlling political power, albeit the liberal claim that theirs is the best of the possible solutions known to human history. Notwithstanding the rhetoric justifying the creation and evolution of the modern nation-state, which focuses on its potential – through the ‘Rule of Law’ – to be more just and egalitarian than any other system of organised political power, there is overwhelming empirical evidence to show that things have not changed very much. States continue to repress their citizens in all manner of ways. The difference being that, …

Conjoined Twins And Catholic Moral Analysis: Extraordinary Means And Casuistical Consistency, M. Cathleen Kaveny

M. Cathleen Kaveny

This article draws upon the Roman Catholic distinction between “ordinary” and “extraordinary” means of medical treatment to analyze the case of “Jodie” and “Mary,” the Maltese conjoined twins whose surgical separation was ordered by the English courts over the objection of their Roman Catholic parents and Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, the Roman Catholic Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster. It attempts to shed light on the use of that distinction by surrogate decision makers with respect to incompetent patients. In addition, it critically analyzes various components of the distinction by comparing the reasoning used by Catholic moralists in this case with the reasoning used …

Gifts For The Soul: A Guided Journey Of Discovery, Transformation, And Infinite Possibilities (Book Author, Dawn E. Clark; Book Reviewer, Carroy Ferguson)), Carroy U. Ferguson

Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.

Dawn E. Clark's Gifts for the Soul is an intriguing self-help book, full of promise and hope for a new way to engage in self-healing and what the author calls soul healing through soul retrieval work. According to the author, the ancient healing tradition of soul retrieval to heal soul loss has been documented by many cultural anthropologists. The tradition apparently has been traced to a belief in the ancient concept of soul loss, embraced by many civilizations and diverse cultures in North America, Australia, Asia, South America and the shaman tradition as far back as 10,000 years ago. Soul …

Social Change And Freemasonry: The Scottish Rite's Primacy Rite, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

The rural or urban setting helped to determine the Masonic rite which grew and prospered in the area, and this is illustrated with the growth of American cities. Jane Jacobs can be related to the Scottish Rite, surprising as the notion seems.
