The Ideology Of Terror: Why We Will Never Win The 'War', Katie Rose Guest Pryal Dec 2005

The Ideology Of Terror: Why We Will Never Win The 'War', Katie Rose Guest Pryal

Katie Rose Guest Pryal

A few days after the criminal attacks on the World Trade Center, President George W. Bush declared a metaphorical war on terror. The word “war” was once again applied to a nebulous concept in hopes of rallying support to Bush’s plans. Had Bush declared war on “terrorism,” a noun that denotes physical acts of violence, the war would have remained attached to the material world. By declaring war on “terror,” America’s enemy became ephemeral and eternal. Using Althusser's theory of ideology, this article demonstrates how the public rhetoric of terror created an “ideology of terror” that created support for Bush's …

Vogelgriep En Tamiflu. In Geval Van Pandemie Zal België Geen Generische Equivalenten Gebruiken, Zelfs Al Is Er Gebrek Aan Merkproducten, Daniel De Beer, Serge Gutwirth, Isabelle Stengers, Jean Paul Van Bendegem Nov 2005

Vogelgriep En Tamiflu. In Geval Van Pandemie Zal België Geen Generische Equivalenten Gebruiken, Zelfs Al Is Er Gebrek Aan Merkproducten, Daniel De Beer, Serge Gutwirth, Isabelle Stengers, Jean Paul Van Bendegem

Serge Gutwirth

Er wordt ons gezegd dat de regering zijn wapens scherpt tegenover de dreiging van de vogelgriep. Zelfs al zijn er wel degelijk maatregelen genomen, dan toch zegt de regering niet alles en speelt zij Russische roulette. Indien een pandemie zich tijdens de komende twee jaar kan ontwikkelen, dan is de kans groot dat ze erg moorddadig zal zijn. Dit is des te absurder daar zulke dramatische ontknoping gemakkelijk kan worden vermeden


The Problem Of Moral Dirigisme: A New Argument Against Moralistic Legislation, Mario Rizzo Nov 2005

The Problem Of Moral Dirigisme: A New Argument Against Moralistic Legislation, Mario Rizzo

Mario Rizzo

This Article applies a theory of rational choice to moral decisionmaking. In this theory, agents act primarily on local and personal knowledge to instantiate moral principles, virtues and moral goods. The State may seek to prevent them from acting as they independently determine by prescribing or proscribing certain conduct by formal legal means. If its purpose is to ensure that people act morally or become better persons, we call this “moral dirigisme.” Our thesis is that the need to use decentralized knowledge to determine the moral status of an act makes the task of the moral dirigiste well-neigh impossible. The …

Setting A Publick Table: Food And Food Service At A Colonial And Early American New Jersey Tavern, Megan E. Springate

Megan E. Springate

The Blue Ball, a tavern located in Shrewsbury, New Jersey served primarily a local clientele from 1754 through 1814. Excavations on the site of the still-standing structure have revealed a wealth of information regarding the preparation and service of food from the late Colonial through the Early American period. Using documentary and archaeological evidence, this paper will explore the menu and the table settings found at The Blue Ball. The Blue Ball, open to the public as The Allen House, a colonial tavern interpretation, is owned by the Monmouth County Historical Association.

Brothers In Strife: Compadre, Amber Benham Jun 2005

Brothers In Strife: Compadre, Amber Benham

Amber Benham

What does it mean to call someone a brother? This question resonates with Swedish director Mikael Wiström after having befriended Daniel Barrientos, a strong-willed man who struggles against polio and the severe poverty that threatens his family in Lima, Peru. Over the course of his more than 30-year friendship with Daniel, whom he calls hermano, Wiström is met with the challenge of understanding how much responsibility he must take for the inequality in the two men’s lives. Compadre is the second of Wiström’s films to document the extraordinary poverty faced by the Barrientos family.


Interlinking Of Rivers In India , Pankaj Singh, Dharamveer Singh Chauhan Jun 2005

Interlinking Of Rivers In India , Pankaj Singh, Dharamveer Singh Chauhan

Pankaj Singh

Interlinking of major rivers in India, aimed at modifying the acute spatial inequity in the availability of water resources in India, has its origin in the ideas of K.L.Rao and Captain Dastur, in the form of Ganga-Cauvery Link Canal and the Garland Canal respectively. Both these ideas were considered to be mere dreams and not feasible projects by the Ministry of Water Resources. In recent years, the National Water Development Agency (NWDA) has come up with a proposal for a set of inter-basin transfer canals. The Supreme Court has asked that these projects of inter-basin transfers be completed in the …


Race And Blues Tourism: A Comparison Of Two Lodging Alternatives In Clarksdale, Mississippi, Stephen A. King Apr 2005

Race And Blues Tourism: A Comparison Of Two Lodging Alternatives In Clarksdale, Mississippi, Stephen A. King

Stephen A. King

This article compares several lodging alternatives in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Blues tourism in the Delta has been characterized by decentralized efforts as well as fragmentation with each Delta community competing for tourists, money, and prestige. Yet there is evidence that the development and promotion of blues tourism are fast becoming a more organized and centralized phenomenon. Located on the outskirts of Clarksdale, Mississippi, the Shack Up Inn offer tourists the opportunity to sleep in one of six renovated sharecroppers' shacks.

Formalismo, Sistemismo Y Explicación, Jorge Gibert-Galassi Mar 2005

Formalismo, Sistemismo Y Explicación, Jorge Gibert-Galassi

jorge gibert-galassi

This essay discusses three axioms of sociopoietic theory from the point of view of philosophy of social science. The first axiom, its de-ontologised character, it is associated to theory formalism and it allows to question the validity of a factual theory that do not presuppose the reality. The second one, allow to discuss the pertinence of the social system concept adopted by the sociopoietic view. Finally, argue that a theory about something it is not possible without having an explanation about this "something", and it is asked how an epistemology of the event can acquired content excluding the radical determinism …

The Laws Of War In The Pre-Dawn Light: Institutions And Obligations In Thucydides’ Peloponnesian War, Steve Sheppard Jan 2005

The Laws Of War In The Pre-Dawn Light: Institutions And Obligations In Thucydides’ Peloponnesian War, Steve Sheppard

Steve Sheppard

This Essay, in honor of Oscar Schachter, discusses Thucydides’ account of the Peloponnesian War, not only glimpsing into the events surrounding the conflict but also considering how the sparring greek city-states understood and manifested laws of war. This article describes numerous customs, practices, and procedures including respect for truces, ambassadors, heralds, trophies, and various forms of neutrality the ancients adhered to during times of conflict. The greek city-states and their warriors recognized and enforced obligations concerning a city-state’s right to war (jus ad bellum) and conduct in war (jus in bello). While the ancients’ laws of war were always recorded …
