The Fragmentation Of Self Within The Indian Novel, Michele Gibney
The Fragmentation Of Self Within The Indian Novel, Michele Gibney
Michele Gibney
With the novel Midnight’s Children, Rushdie forged a new path for novel-writing. In his epic story the main character became split into two in order to show the many facets of Indian culture. Instead of gaining an understanding of just one way of life, the reader became privy to all the stories being lived in such places as the Methwold estates, the surreal Sundarbans, and the Magician’s Ghetto. The story of one, single individual was lost in the cacophony of voices that each had their own tale to tell in Rushdie’s novel. This new form of writing, which favored the …

The World Seduces Man. His Home Grounds Him., Michele Gibney
Michele Gibney
Between Untouchable and The Bachelor of Arts there is a world of difference in the basic situations of the main characters. One is an uneducated street sweeper and the other is a University graduate, and both have a different conception of the British. However, there is also a common thread that unites the two novels in the main characters concluding acceptance of the “home”/India over the “world”/England. Thus, although different values are assigned to the importance of British colonialism within the texts, in the end each novel comes to a stand wherein Indian culture is favored over the British.

The Setting Sun: Japanese Post-War Sensibility, Michele Gibney
The Setting Sun: Japanese Post-War Sensibility, Michele Gibney
Michele Gibney
Osamu Dazai wrote The Setting Sun in the years directly following the end of World War II. The effects of Japan’s defeat in the War were clearly still felt, as evidenced by the characters and situations being expressed in this novel. In looking at the novel through a historical lens, I plan on placing it within the greater context of the times. I view Dazai’s work as a masterpiece at evoking the feelings that were seething beneath Japan’s conquered surface. In consequence of this, I believe that by examining the words, actions, and feelings of the characters, one can extend …
Spiritual Quest In Hojoki And Hosshinshu And The Duality Of Art And Religion, Michele Gibney
Spiritual Quest In Hojoki And Hosshinshu And The Duality Of Art And Religion, Michele Gibney
Michele Gibney
The individual’s quest for enlightenment in Japan is a serious one. One such individual from the medieval Japanese period will be the subject of this paper. Kamo no Chomei, a recluse, poet, and priest who lived from 1155-1216 strove to attain a religious awakening of the mind during the latter half of his life. The question of whether he succeeded or not is a difficult one to answer, however, by examining two of his major works—Hojoki and Hosshinshu—the nature of Chomei’s quest should become clearer. Although I do not believe Chomei found the enlightenment he sought; the quest itself and …

Synopsis of keynote address. Includes information and plan regarding the Smithsonian Institution's mandate to play a fundamental role in defining the parameters of Latina/o cultural identity: "How the Smithsonian views U.S. Latinos is important to all Americans, because the Smithsonian helps determine how all Americans see themselves--and how the rest of the world views the United States."

The Mystery Of Mathew Carey, Paul J. Rich
The Mystery Of Mathew Carey, Paul J. Rich
Paul J. Rich
The discovery of letters in the archives of the Historical Society in Philadelphia led to new insights into early American publishing and its links with the struggle for Mexican independence. At the center of the story was Mathew Carey, who as a young irishman escaped British authority by going to France, where he met Lafayette and subsequently with a loan from the marquis traveled to America where he established a publishing house that spuriously produced books that were smuggled to Mexico.

Rupert Sheldrake, Paul J. Rich
Paul J. Rich
Rupert Sheldrake is the controversial scientist who has suggested that many acts are somehow "saved" by nature, stored in a sort of field from which subsequent acts can derive shape and form. This of course lends itself to ritual and fraternal studies. Professor Sheldrake was kind enough to acknowledge that i was the first social scientist to import his ideas from the natural sciences where his work centered.

Relationships And Universal Energy Laws, Carroy U. Ferguson
Relationships And Universal Energy Laws, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
Relationships are our most intense forms of "mirrors" in the world. They show us in direct and indirect ways how we are using our personal energy systems in what I call our three life spaces. They show us how we consciously and unconsciously employ what some authors have called Universal Energy Laws (see attached descriptions of these laws) to co-create the quality of our relationships. Whether or not we "attract" and/or deal with relationships in conscious or subconscious ways, what I call the "mirror effect" is reflected in our three life spaces—personal life space, societal life space, and global life …

The Cardenista Masonic Rite, Paul J. Rich
The Cardenista Masonic Rite, Paul J. Rich
Paul J. Rich
First as a conference presentation and in the pages of Heredom, and then in another version in the Columbia University Press volume "Freemasonry on Both Sides of the Atlantic", this study of what was frequently asserted was a separate Mexican rite of Freemasonry proved to be an opportunity for debunking a longtime assertion and placing in perspective a Mexican president's Masonic career. As we eventually became confident enough to claim, it was a rite that wasn't. Curiously, as with the poem and apron that weren't those of Robert Burns, we seemed to get attention for putting old saws to rest.
Piac És Igazságosság? (Market And Justice?), Attila Tanyi
Piac És Igazságosság? (Market And Justice?), Attila Tanyi
Attila Tanyi
The aim of the book is to uncover the relation between market and justice through the critical examination of the work of Friedrich Hayek. The book argues for the following thesis: the institution of free market is not the only candidate social system; substantial, not merely formal distributive justice must become the central virtue of our social institutions. Notwithstanding its achievements and virtues, the Hayekian theory makes a simple mistake by equivocating possible social systems, dividing them into two groups. One is the world of liberty and free market where people follow the general and abstract rules of conduct, accepting …

Tolkien's Cauldron: Northern Literature And The Lord Of The Rings, Gloriana St. Clair
Tolkien's Cauldron: Northern Literature And The Lord Of The Rings, Gloriana St. Clair
Gloriana St. Clair
Tolkien's Cauldron studies the sources of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was a scholar of Old Norse literature and much of his work in the Lord of the Rings is informed by his knowledge of old Norse mythology, Eddic poetry, and saga. Tolkien's use of these sources enriched this complex story of Middle-earth.
