Maine, Indian Land Speculation, And The Essex County Witchcraft Outbreak Of 1692, Emerson Baker Dec 2000

Maine, Indian Land Speculation, And The Essex County Witchcraft Outbreak Of 1692, Emerson Baker

Emerson Baker

On Thursday, September 1, 1692, the elite of Massachusetts society took a break from the ongoing horror of the Essex County witch trials to celebrate the marriage of Major John Richards and Anne Winthrop. It was the second marriage for Richards, a prominent merchant and member of the Governor's Council whose deceased first wife was the widow of Anne's uncle Adam Winthrop. It was the first marriage for the bride, the daughter of the late John Winthrop Jr., and no less a figure than Lieutenant Governor William Stoughton presided over the ceremony. Though no wedding list survives, one can come …

"Balthasar, Globalization, And The Problem Of The One And The Many", William T. Cavanaugh Dec 2000

"Balthasar, Globalization, And The Problem Of The One And The Many", William T. Cavanaugh

William T. Cavanaugh

In "Balthasar, Globalization, and the Problem of the One and the Many," William T. Cavanaugh sets forth a theological reading of globalization as an attempt to resolve the problem of the one and the many through an "aesthetics"--a "way of configuring space"--that "abstracts human relations . . . from their concrete embodiment in the local and the particular." Balthasar’s centering of the one-many relation on the concrete universality of Christ, Cavanaugh argues, points us towards an alternative aesthetics (and dramatics) in which the particular is given its particularity precisely by its incorporation into the universal," the eucharistic body of Christ. …

Baruch Secundum Decanum Salesberiensem: Text And Introduction To The Earliest Latincommentary On Baruch, Andrew T. Sulavik Th.D, Mlis Dec 2000

Baruch Secundum Decanum Salesberiensem: Text And Introduction To The Earliest Latincommentary On Baruch, Andrew T. Sulavik Th.D, Mlis

Andrew T. Sulavik

The Glossa super Baruch, composed in Paris during the late twelfth or early thirteenth century, remains the earliest known Latin commentary on the Book of Baruch, and served as the foundational text for Hugh of St. Cher’s Postilla super Baruch. It is attributed to a certain ‘Dean of Salisbury’, who was most likely a Master trained in the moral biblical school of Stephen Langton, and could be either Richard Poore or Thomas Chobham.

Review Of Jensen: Manufacturing Confucianism, Stephen C. Angle Dec 2000

Review Of Jensen: Manufacturing Confucianism, Stephen C. Angle

Stephen C. Angle

Confucianisms, according to Lionel Jensen, are the results of a four-century long process
of pious manufacture: pious, because aimed at truth rather than manipulation; manufacture,
because the work has been done out of materials close to hand. These materials are the texts,
words, and symbols out of which traditions are invented and re-invented. Jensen’s book is
simultaneously a meditation on the ecumenical goals of “traditionary invention” and a close
study of the specific ways in which sixteenth- and twentieth-century communities have
negotiated between inherited meanings and current circumstances. Its case studies splendidly
exemplify its broader theoretical themes; I will look …

Untidy Gender: Domestic Service In Turkey, Gul Ozyegin Dec 2000

Untidy Gender: Domestic Service In Turkey, Gul Ozyegin

Gul Ozyegin

Untidy Gender takes readers into the interconnected worlds of Turkish maids and the women who employ them, tracing the incorporation of rural migrant women into the interiors of the domestic spheres of the urban middle-classes. Firmly grounded in data collected through a representative survey of 160 domestic workers, in-depth interviews, and participant observation in the kinship-based communities of domestic workers, this book forges a new understanding of the complex interaction between gender and class subordination. 

Ozyegin traces the lives of two kinds of workers; those from the squatter settlements who work in a number of locations, and those who live …

Exploring Gender And Economic Development In Appalachia, Melissa Latimer, Ann M. Oberhauser Dec 2000

Exploring Gender And Economic Development In Appalachia, Melissa Latimer, Ann M. Oberhauser

Ann Oberhauser

 Gender relations have influenced the distribution, causes, and consequences of social and economic inequality in the Appalachian region.  Labor market studies that examine gender-based sources of inequality  greatly expanded our understanding of poverty in Appalachia for both  women and men (Billings and Tickamyer 1993). Researchers, who incorporate gender into their analyses, consistently have documented that  women are more vulnerable to poverty than men in this region (Latimer  2000; Tickamyer and Tickamyer 1991). The increased attention to gender  issues within Appalachian studies reflected the heightened awareness of  how gender - in addition to race, class, and ethnicity - shape economic  development …

Unraveling Appalachia's Rural Economy: The Case Of A Flexible Manufacturing Network, Ann M. Oberhauser, Amy Pratt, Ann-Marie Turnage Dec 2000

Unraveling Appalachia's Rural Economy: The Case Of A Flexible Manufacturing Network, Ann M. Oberhauser, Amy Pratt, Ann-Marie Turnage

Ann Oberhauser

 Many households and communities in rural Appalachia engage  in diverse economic strategies that often are ignored in analyses of  economic restructuring in the region (Gaventa, Smith, and Willingham 1990; Obermiller and Philliber 1994). This paper highlights  the complex nature of rural economies and particularly informal
 activities that intersect with kinship and community-based social  networks. Different scales of economic activity are examined as  shifts in global capital impact and are influenced by local strategies  that include formal as well as informal activities. This analysis uses  a case study of a network of home-based machine-knitters to illus-
 trate these social and spatial …

How Many Deaths? Problems In The Statistics Of Massacre In Indonesia (1965-1966) And East Timor (1975-1980), Robert Cribb Dec 2000

How Many Deaths? Problems In The Statistics Of Massacre In Indonesia (1965-1966) And East Timor (1975-1980), Robert Cribb

Robert Cribb

The chapter critically examines the scanty evidence for the number of people to die in the massacres carried out by the Indonesian army in Indonesia during the suppression of the Indonesian Communist Party in 1965-66 and in East Timor duting the first five years after the indonesian invasion and occupation (1975-80). The chapter concludes that the death toll in Indonesia lay between 200,000 and 800,000, with a figure of 500,000 the current most plausible estimate. It concludes that the common estmate of 200,000 deaths by violence in East Timor is likely to be a significant exaggeration and that the likely …
