Performing Presidential Age: "It's About How Old Your Ideas Are", Valerie Barnes Lipscomb
Performing Presidential Age: "It's About How Old Your Ideas Are", Valerie Barnes Lipscomb
English Sarasota Manatee Campus Faculty Publications
During a February surprise appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, President Joe Biden whipped out his trademark aviator sunglasses and traded quips with Meyers about a supposed conspiracy with Taylor Swift, much to the delight of the younger live audience. The next day, reviews were mixed about whether the president was trying too hard or did in fact manage to look hipper. To look younger. While US presidential nominees have been consciously performing their campaigns for decades, during this cycle, considering age as a performance has been especially prominent. Commentators and critics have specifically addressed the careful staging …
Transmisogyny In Popular Culture, Feminisms, And Shakespeare Studies, Lisa S. Starks
Transmisogyny In Popular Culture, Feminisms, And Shakespeare Studies, Lisa S. Starks
USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications
In this article, I deal with the disparagement of femininity and trans persons in multiple levels of our culture, including in some feminist theory and Shakespearean criticism. I point out that contemporary culture, patriarchal institutions, and some feminist positions share misogynistic stances towards expressions and embodiments of femininity; and these perspectives carry over into some criticism, as well as our academic institutions and classrooms. I examine the double-standard that is often applied to feminine-gendered behavior and bodies in contemporary culture and the profession. In so doing, I address the points of tension and common ground between feminist, queer, and transgender …
Response: In And Out Of The Game, As Usual, Steven E. Jones
Response: In And Out Of The Game, As Usual, Steven E. Jones
English Faculty Publications
In this response article, I revisit the idea of paratext in video games. I start, however, with the example of a book by Tolstoy, and the textual studies work of McKenzie and McGann, in order to make the point that paratextuality has never been limited to Genette’s rigid definition, even in the case of print texts. Video games foreground what has always been the case: the dynamic, volatile, multidirectional nature of paratexts, which can take you into but also out of the enclosure of the main text (or “game itself”) in unexpected ways. Illustrations include Animal Crossing: New Horizons and …
Kelsen In American Political Theory, Stephen Park Turner
Kelsen In American Political Theory, Stephen Park Turner
Philosophy Faculty Publications
Hans Kelsen’s lack of impact on political theory in the United States has been a puzzle. Kelsen arrived at a time in which several influential political ideas competed, none of which were congenial to Kelsen’s approach, and some actively opposed to it. The narrative that relativism led to Nazism; the pragmatist rejection of the fact-value distinction; the return of natural law thinking at the University of Chicago; and a very specific conflict of perspectives at Harvard, are identified as key obstacles to the acceptance of Kelsen’s view of democracy. The most important of these was associated with Carl J. Friedrich, …
The Essences Of Objects: Explicating A Theory Of Essence In Object-Oriented Ontology, Stanford Howdyshell
The Essences Of Objects: Explicating A Theory Of Essence In Object-Oriented Ontology, Stanford Howdyshell
Philosophy Faculty Publications
In this paper, I will discuss the need for a theory of essences within Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) and then formulate one. I will do so by drawing on Graham Harman’s work on OOO and Martin Heidegger’s thought on the essence of being, presented in his Introduction to Metaphysics. Harman touches on essences, describing them as the tension between a withdrawn object and its withdrawn qualities, but fails to distinguish between essential and inessential qualities within this framework. To fill in the gaps, I will turn to Heidegger’s explication of phusis in order to show that an essential aspect of …
Sicily Before The Greeks. The Interaction With Aegean And The Levant In The Pre-Colonial Era, Davide Tanasi
Sicily Before The Greeks. The Interaction With Aegean And The Levant In The Pre-Colonial Era, Davide Tanasi
History Faculty Publications
The relationship between Sicily and the eastern Mediterranean – namely Aegean, Cyprus and the Levant – represents one of the most intriguing facets of the prehistory of the island. The frequent and periodical contact with foreign cultures were a trigger for a gradual process of socio-political evolution of the indigenous community. Such relationship, already in inception during the Neolithic and the Copper Age, grew into a cultural phenomenon ruled by complex dynamics and multiple variables that ranged from the Mid-3rd to the end of the 2nd millennium BCE. In over 1,500 years, a very large quantity of Aegean and Levantine …

Hyletic Phenomenology And Hyperobjects, Seth Daves
Hyletic Phenomenology And Hyperobjects, Seth Daves
Philosophy Faculty Publications
In this paper, I attempt to argue alongside Clayton Crockett that Timothy Morton’s hyperobjects can be extended to encompass every object, not merely those that are large in comparison to human beings. However, unlike Crockett who uses the works of Derrida and Lacan to achieve this goal, I turn to Husserl’s underdeveloped theory of hyletic phenomenology and hyle. Despite Husserl’s articulation of hyletic phenomenology ending as quickly as it is announced, I argue that three lessons can be learned from what Husserl does have to say about hyle. Specifically, hyle is non-intentional, it is co-constitutive of intentionality, and hyle contains …

The Emergence Of Copper-Based Metallurgy In The Maltese Archipelago: An Archaeometric Perspective, D. Tanasi, R. H. Tykot, S. Hassam, A. Vianello
The Emergence Of Copper-Based Metallurgy In The Maltese Archipelago: An Archaeometric Perspective, D. Tanasi, R. H. Tykot, S. Hassam, A. Vianello
History Faculty Publications
The amount of prehistoric metal items discovered in the Maltese archipelago during the BronzeAge very limited in number. The majority of the artifacts are traditionally considered Aegean imports from nearby Sicily. Nineteen objects, currently on display in the National Archaeological Museum of Valletta, and dated between the 17th and 12th century BCE, represent the main evidence of metalwork in Malta during the Bronze Age. Daggers, axes, vessels, rings, pins and an ingot were found in Early and Middle/Late Bronze Age sites and were traditionally interpreted as made from bronze solely on the account of a direct visual exam. The aim …

On Deeper Human Dimensions In Earth System Analysis And Modelling, Dieter Gerten, Martin Schönfeld, Bernhard Schauberger
On Deeper Human Dimensions In Earth System Analysis And Modelling, Dieter Gerten, Martin Schönfeld, Bernhard Schauberger
Philosophy Faculty Publications
While humanity is altering planet Earth at unprecedented magnitude and speed, representation of the cultural driving factors and their dynamics in models of the Earth system is limited. In this review and perspectives paper, we argue that more or less distinct environmental value sets can be assigned to religion – a deeply embedded feature of human cultures, here defined as collectively shared belief in something sacred. This assertion renders religious theories, practices and actors suitable for studying cultural facets of anthropogenic Earth system change, especially regarding deeper, non-materialistic motivations that ask about humans' self-understanding in the Anthropocene epoch. We sketch …

Virtual Karam Collection: 3d Digital Imaging And 3d Printing For Public Outreach In Archaeology, David Tanasi, Stephan Hassam, Kaitlyn Kingsland
History Faculty Publications
Archaeological museums are often perceived as repositories of relics, entrusted to preserve ancient material culture in perpetuity but at the same time committed to making it accessible. The fear of deterioration often denies access or imposes limits on the interactions between visitors and artefacts. This contribution will present the results of the Virtual Karam Collection, a digitization project of archaeological heritage consisting of a collection of artifacts that has limited access and is not properly shared and communicated with the public: The Farid Karam Lebanese Antiquities Collection of the University of South Florida’s Libraries. 149 objects were 3D scanned and …
Reverse Engineering The First Humanities Computing Center, Steven E. Jones
Reverse Engineering The First Humanities Computing Center, Steven E. Jones
English Faculty Publications
The Jesuit scholar, Roberto Busa, is often called the founder of humanities computing. In fact, starting as early as 1949, he collaborated with IBM to perform experiments using suites of punched-card machines. These punched-card data systems—with their plug-board setups, clacking machinery, and flurries of perforated rectangular cards—were developed for business accounting and tabulating, and adapted for government censuses, defense calculations, archival management, and information processing of all kinds. The first decade of humanities computing can more accurately be described as an era of humanities data processing—in the historically specific and contextually rich sense of the term. This essay describes an …
Values And Evidence: How Models Make A Difference, Wendy S. Parker, Wendy S. Parker
Values And Evidence: How Models Make A Difference, Wendy S. Parker, Wendy S. Parker
Philosophy Faculty Publications
We call attention to an underappreciated way in which non-epistemic values influence evidence evaluation in science. Our argument draws upon some well-known features of scientific modeling. We show that, when scientific models stand in for background knowledge in Bayesian and other probabilistic methods for evidence evaluation, conclusions can be influenced by the non-epistemic values that shaped the setting of priorities in model development. Moreover, it is often infeasible to correct for this influence. We further suggest that, while this value influence is not particularly prone to the problem of wishful thinking, it could have problematic non-epistemic consequences in some cases.
3d Digital Technologies For Architectural Analysis. The Case Of The ‘Pagan Shrine’ In The Catacombs Of Santa Lucia (Siracusa, Sicily), Ilenia Gradante, Davide Tanasi
3d Digital Technologies For Architectural Analysis. The Case Of The ‘Pagan Shrine’ In The Catacombs Of Santa Lucia (Siracusa, Sicily), Ilenia Gradante, Davide Tanasi
History Faculty Publications
The Catacombs of Santa Lucia are one of the oldest and most important monuments in the Christian communities of Siracusa and Sicily in the late Roman period. The name of the complex derives from a tradition, according to which Saint Lucy was buried here, after her martyrdom in the early 4th century AD, under the reign of Diocletian. A large underground cemetery extends beneath the homonymous square. The cemetery gradually expanded from the 3rd to the 5th century AD, as it incorporated pre-existing constructions once used for funerary, religious and industrial purposes, by transforming them into monumental burial chambers. One …

Intense Piano Training On Self-Efficacy And Physiological Stress In Aging, Jennifer A. Bugos, Simran Kochar, Nathan Maxfield
Intense Piano Training On Self-Efficacy And Physiological Stress In Aging, Jennifer A. Bugos, Simran Kochar, Nathan Maxfield
Music Education Faculty Publications
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an intense piano training program on general self-efficacy, musical self-efficacy, and physiological stress in older adults. Self-efficacy refers to perceived beliefs regarding the performance of domain-specific tasks or activities, which contribute to psychological and physical health. A key challenge is to identify activities that promote self-efficacy in the aging population. Seventeen healthy community-dwelling older adults (60–85 years) with little to no previous musical training participated in a within subjects experimental design. Measures of self-efficacy and cortisol levels were administered over three time points: an initial pre-testing session, a second …

3d Digital Technologies To Record Excavation Data: The Case Of The Catacombs Of St. Lucy (Siracusa, Sicily), Davide Tanasi, Ilenia Gradante, Mariarita Sgarlata
History Faculty Publications
Between 2013 and 2015, Arcadia University in partnership with the Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archaeology and the University of Catania undertook new excavation campaigns in the Catacombs of St. Lucy at Siracusa. The research focuses on some very problematic parts of Region C of the complex, including Oratory C, the so-called Pagan Shrine and Crypt VI. These areas document most effectively the long life of this Christian hypogeum, which incorporated previous structures and artefacts related to the Greek period and continued to be used until the Middle Ages. During the excavation an array of 3D digital techniques (3D scanning, 3d …
Dancing With Knives: American Cold War Ideology In The Dances Of West Side Story, Daniel Belgrad, Ying Zhu
Dancing With Knives: American Cold War Ideology In The Dances Of West Side Story, Daniel Belgrad, Ying Zhu
Humanities and Cultural Studies Faculty Publications
In cultural studies today, there is emerging an interpretive revolution “from below” – that is, a radical reassessment of the politics of cultural forms, based on a recovery of the embodied and affective subject as the center of meaning-making. Making sense of dance performances is therefore methodologically important because of their particular ability to offer insight into these two aspects of subjectivity. As an artifact of Cold War American culture, Jerome Robbins’ choreography in the film West Side Story (1961) enforces an ideological distinction between legitimate and illegitimate forms of violence, through its portrayals of “cool” affect as a necessary …
Rediscovering The Maltese Temple Of Borġ In-Nadur: An Archaeoastronomical Perspective, David Tanasi, Andrea Orlando
Rediscovering The Maltese Temple Of Borġ In-Nadur: An Archaeoastronomical Perspective, David Tanasi, Andrea Orlando
History Faculty Publications
The Maltese island have megalithic temples of extraordinary interest for archaeoastronomy. In literature we find different works that involve most of its archaeological sites. The temple of Borġ in-Nadur, set on the top of a hill by the Marsaxlokk Bay in southern Malta, is less well known than the rest of the others, even though it started off as a major attraction for grand tourists and travellers in the Early Modern and Colonial periods. It was explored in the second half of the 1920s by a team of British archaeologists, led by Margaret Murray, who gradually uncovered the ruins of …
