Modeling The Writing Assignment On Literature, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe Jan 2012

Modeling The Writing Assignment On Literature, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Hal Blythe

Charlie has been teaching his junior-level American Lit Survey II for 36 years, but last summer after reflecting on the course with Hal, he decided to try a new way of teaching students to write. He set up critical writing communities in his class and then he created one for himself in order to model a particular writing skill.


Origin Of Human Consciousness, Milan Meszaros Dec 2007

Origin Of Human Consciousness, Milan Meszaros

Milan Meszaros physicist

There are certain conditions regarding the expansion of man’s existence on Earth, but these are not identical to those conditions regarding man’s existence itself. Thus in the violating the symmetry of the fundamental processes of consciousness, man’s intellectual development can become multi-dimensional.

Our conscious functioning with its non-Earth lifebase gives rise to the following questions: how and why did our consciousness come to be on Earth? Where did we originate from?

The search of solution is recommendable to all those who are interested in a scientific, high level, responsible approach to the experiments and solutions concerning the problems: Where do …

The Best-Laid Plans: Building On The Hill, Lynn E. Niedermeier Dec 2007

The Best-Laid Plans: Building On The Hill, Lynn E. Niedermeier

Lynn E. Niedermeier

Since WKU purchased its present campus in 1909, building on the Hill has reflected the visions--some realized, many unrealized--of its presidents and architects. The construction of Van Meter Hall, a water tower, a proposed memorial tower and a comprehensive 1930s campus plan attest to the trials and tribulations of making the Hill a beautiful and functional place.

Offensive Realism And Central & Eastern Europe After The Cold War, Dylan Kissane Dec 2007

Offensive Realism And Central & Eastern Europe After The Cold War, Dylan Kissane

Dylan Kissane

At the end of the Cold War, John Mearsheimer published the article, “Back to the Future: Instability in Europe after the Cold War”. The widely-cited piece included four predictions for the post-Cold War European geopolitical landscape founded on the theory of offensive realism, the realpolitik approach that Mearsheimer had established and developed over more than a decade of scholarship. However, the emergence of a post-Cold War and pan-continental peace suggests that something was wrong with Mearsheimer’s predictions and, by implication, the theory that informed them. This article argues that Mearsheimer’s mistake was to rely on a theory that assumed the …

The book has 10 chapters, all on different approaches and methods of solving problems. Each chapter tries to solve problems using different techniques of TRIZ.

Princípios-Tópicos De Hermenêutica Constitucional, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha Nov 2007

Princípios-Tópicos De Hermenêutica Constitucional, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Houve tempo em que a Constituição servia para poisar ou charuto ou tirar um argumento político, como ironicamente afirmaria o grande escritor oitocentista Eça de Queiroz. Hoje a Constituição é a norma das normas. Daí há consequências hermenêuticas. Ao contrário das teorias que importam interpretação tradicional e, por vezes, em grande medida ultrapassada, para o Direito Constitucional, a tendência actual é a inversa: dada a supremacia da Constituição, deve ser a metodologia constitucional a exportar hermenêutica para o todo do Direito. Para isso, começamos neste artigo com grandes princípios de hermenêutica intra-constitucional. Depois se passará à exportação.

The Ur-Quiver In The Pro-Stiff Upper Lip: Secrecy And Reserve From Keble To Clough, Patrick Scott Nov 2007

The Ur-Quiver In The Pro-Stiff Upper Lip: Secrecy And Reserve From Keble To Clough, Patrick Scott

Patrick Scott

A paper for the Victorian Institute, 2007, where the theme was Victorian Secrets. Discusses the Tractarian doctrine of reserve in Isaac Williams and John Keble, and the non-reserve of R.H. Froude and F.W. Faber, and then considers the influence of the idea in Tennyson, Arnold, and Clough, concluding that far from the Tractarian doctrine of reserve being specifically Tractarian, ... reserve, concealment, the principled rejection of promiscuous self-expression, is a widespread phenomenon in Victorian culture because of cognitive or epistemological self-consciousness...  The Tractarians, pompous, prickly, self-important, self-deluding, snobbish, ... nonetheless were onto something significant for their age, for many who …

The Ideal Ifr Is No Ifr: Criticism To The Triz Concept Of Ideality, Umakant Mishra Nov 2007

The Ideal Ifr Is No Ifr: Criticism To The Triz Concept Of Ideality, Umakant Mishra

Umakant Mishra

The limitations of TRIZ concept of Ideality hail from its root philosophy of Idealism. As the “ideas” are there in human minds/brains they are subjective in nature. The concept of “Ideal” and IFR may vary from person to person as they are biased by individual judgments. Similarly the IFR may vary from system to system and at different phases of the development of a system.

However, the same limitations may be considered as the strengths of Idealism. As the IFRs can be different for different people and groups, the solution developer should not always take his own IFR for granted. …

"Un Écrivain En Évolution": Entretien Avec Fatima Gallaire, Jane E. Evans Nov 2007

"Un Écrivain En Évolution": Entretien Avec Fatima Gallaire, Jane E. Evans

Jane E. Evans

Fatima Gallaire, renommée pour ses drames contrastant le traditionalisme et le modernisme algériens, évolue comme écrivain. Non seulement elle se dédie de nouveau à la nouvelle, le genre qu'elle écrivait lors de ses études universitaires, mais elle s'occupe aussi des futurs écrivains en offrant des ateliers d'écriture internationaux. Cet entretien expose les activités récentes de Mme Gallaire et souligne encore l'importance de cet auteur. Denise Brahimi, professeur retraité de littérature comparée, aide à placer les écrits de Mme Gallaire dans leurs cadres littéraires et historiques.


Fanning The Flames: Religious Media Consumption And American Politics, Brian Newman, Mark Smith Oct 2007

Fanning The Flames: Religious Media Consumption And American Politics, Brian Newman, Mark Smith

Brian Newman

Both religion and mass media are politically important in the United States. However, little is known about the political role of religious media. Religious media might be politically influential because they help translate religion into political thinking and because their consumers are likely to internalize the political cues these media provide. We find that almost a quarter of the public claims to have relied on religious media when making voting decisions in 2000. Religious media users felt significantly closer to George W. Bush and Pat Buchanan and farther away from Al Gore and were more likely to vote for Bush …


Imagining Cannibals: European Encounters With Native Brazilian Women, Carole A. Myscofski Oct 2007

Imagining Cannibals: European Encounters With Native Brazilian Women, Carole A. Myscofski

Carole Myscofski

In his “Introduction” to Imagining Religion, Jonathan Z. Smith contends that second-order reflection on religion—imagining religion per se—is a relatively recent human endeavor.1 It is one, of course, that has engaged our
group of essayists—indeed, as our life’s work and preoccupation. It is also the issue at stake in this essay: how human behaviors and groups are distinguished and labeled.


Voice In Writing Again: Embracing Contraries, Peter Elbow Oct 2007

Voice In Writing Again: Embracing Contraries, Peter Elbow

Peter Elbow

"Voice in writing" has fallen into a kind of limbo as a topic: it's vexed; it's discredited by most composition scholars; it's not much written about recently; and yet it remains widely used by readers, teachers, and writers. I examine good reasons for paying lots of attention to voice when we read and teach writing; and also good reasons for ignoring it. And finally insist that we can usefully do both.
