Making Motions: The Embodiment Of Law In Gestures, Bernard J. Hibbitts

Articles

In contemporary America, the locus of legal meaning is habitually deemed to be the written word. This article pushes our conception of law’s “text” beyond its traditional inscripted bounds by focusing on physical gesture as a legal instrumentality. The few studies of legal gesture undertaken to date have explained its prominence in various legal systems and cultural environments, the significance of specific legal gestures in specific historic contexts, and the depiction of legal gestures in particular manuscripts or other specific physical settings, but no one has considered the general functions of legal gesture as a modality.

Casual Discourse Lost: The Separation Of Adam And Eve, Jay Curlin

Articles

The critical separation scene between Adam and Eve in Book IX of Paradise Lost has long been something of a crux for Milton's readers. Recent critical opinion of the passage has seen in it chiefly an indictment of Adam: for one group of readers, he ls the overbearing husband trying to suppress the burgeoning independence of his wife; for another, he fails as a spiritual leader in not suppressing that independence enough. I would like to offer an alternative reading of the passage by redirecting our attention to the simple dynamics of what we must remember is ultimately a pre …

The Pavlov-Yerkes Connection: What Was Its Origin?, Randall D. Wight

Articles

Historians of psychology traditionally acknowledge Robert Mearns Yerkes as responsible for introducing the work of Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov to American psychologists. The introduction occurred in a 1909 Psychological Bulletin paper coauthored with Harvard graduate student, Sergius Morgulls. Yet how Yerkes, who did not read Russian and who never personally used Pavlov's conditioning paradigm, came to know and appreciate Pavlov's endeavors is unclear. This paper examines how Yerkes became acquainted with salivary conditioning studies and suggests a reason why the 1909 paper was actually written.

"All They Want Is To Gain Attention": Press Coverage And The Selma-To-Montgomery March, S. Ray Granade, Deranda R. Granade

Articles

March in Alabama can be a beautiful month with warm days, cool nights, flowers bursting from the ground with vibrant yellows, reds, and violets, and greens everywhere. Jonquils push through the ground like horns resounding with the song of spring and forsythia adorns itself ingold.¹ March can also fulfill the proverb “comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb.” Alabama’s March of 1965 offered cold, wet, windy weather up until the end. But a different wind blew through Selma that month—the wind of discontent and change.

For the first three months of 1965, Dr. Martin Luther King, …

The Christian Novelist In An Age Of Transition: A Case Study, Eamon Maher

Articles

At the present time in France, organized religion has largely lost its popular appeal. A centuries-old tradition of secularism has replaced God in the hearts of many. It is not therefore surprising that the 'Catholic novel' in its best-known form that of the thirties, when Bernanos and Mauriac wrote their greatest novels is no longer being written by contemporary novelists. That sort of novel simply does not reflect the current spiritual crisis in French society. But there are some writers, and Jean Sulivan (1913-1980 is a600g them, who do portray the human need of and quest for a divine presence …

Portraits Of A Discipline: An Examination Of Introductory Psychology Textbooks In America, Randall D. Wight, Wayne Weiten

Articles

"The time has gone by when any one person could hope to write an adequate textbook of psychology. The science has now so many branches, so many methods, so many fields of application, and such an immense mass of data of observation is now on record, that no one person can hope to have the necessary familiarity with the whole." - An author of an introductory psychology text

"If we compare general psychology textbooks of today with those of from ten to twenty years ago we note an undeniable trend toward amelioration of terminology, simplification of style, and popularization of …

History And Psychology: Shall The Twain Ever Meet?, S. Ray Granade, Randall D. Wight

Articles

As all detectives (fictional or real) know, every story contains at least an element of truth, and the most likely is usually the most truthful. Those trying to cover their tracks know or discover to their dismay that interrogators use that principle to their own advantage. Early in Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the disguised Huck realizes this simple reality when he first returns to town after his faked death and “pumps” Mrs. Judith Loftus for information: “Somehow it didn’t seem to me that I said it [his name] was Mary before,” Huck relates; “seemed to me I …

Unrestricted Access To Knowledge: A Bibliographic Instruction Program For Small Sectarian Liberal Arts Colleges, S. Ray Granade

Articles

This study examines the theoretical and philosophical constructs for implementing a program of bibliographic instruction at small sectarian liberal arts colleges, using Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas as a case study. It examines the historical and philosophical reasons for the lack of such instruction, then proposes a program based on four principles: the efficacy of course-related, written-product instruction; the significance of locale in program design; the potential of variety as a key element; and the value of repetition. The program is competency-based with three major components (pre-test, test, and post-test), each of which have a variety of sub-components. It …

Ode To Billy Mac: An "Arkansas Hundred" Legacy Booklist, S. Ray Granade

Articles

They say you can't take it with you. Yet, at his untimely death, William McDowell Baker did just that. Bill took with him the list of Arkansas authors about which he had spoken with numbers of us over the previous several years. His passing deprived up forever of his judgement and of his answer to the question with which he had dealt--his choice of "one hundred notable books about, or from, Arkansas."

We had talked about Arkansas authors on several occasions, and Bill Mac (as Ouachitonians knew him) often said he had compiled a list of "an Arkansas hundred" from …

Response To Roger Cramton's Article, James Boyd White

Articles

I want to direct attention to only one of the many important issues raised by Professor Cramton's article, namely the peculiar division between academic and religious thought in our culture. In the academic world we tend to speak as though all participants in our conversations were purely rational actors engaged in rational debate; perhaps some people out there in the world are sufficiently benighted that they turn to religious beliefs or other superstitions, but that is not true of us or, if it is true, we hide it, and it ought not be true of them. Ours is a secular …

Commercial Instruments, The Law Merchant And Negotiability, Ralph W. Aigler

“Until recently apparently no serious attempt had been to make a comprehensive examination into the origins and history of commercial instruments or to explain the special doctrines attached to negotiability….

“The bill of exchange, it is said, developed as a bit of machinery to give effect to the medieval contract of cambium which was concerned with the special case of the exchange of money for money. With the growth of foreign trade the difficulties and dangers of payments multiplied. Naturally those whose business it was to exchange monies were resorted to in this connection. They, in turn, out of necessities …

Roman Law In Modern Life And Education, Joseph H. Drake

Articles

"This discussion might be entitled, an experiment in classical education and how it failed... It is in a way an Apologia pro Mea Vita Paedagogica. The excess of ego dixi et meus filius respondit in it may, therefore, perhaps be pardoned by a confession at the outset that it is an account of failure on the part of the speaker to solve a troublesome pedagogical question and a very satisfactory solution of the same problem by one of his colleagues in the Latin Department."
