Disciplinary Permeations: Complicating The "Public" And The "Private" Dualism In Composition And Rhetoric,
2012
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Disciplinary Permeations: Complicating The "Public" And The "Private" Dualism In Composition And Rhetoric, Erica E. Rogers
Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
As Composition and Rhetoric rose in disciplinary status and academic legitimacy the discourse practice of negation, the positioning of texts in oppositional binaries that set the “new” over the “old,” the “novel” over the “familiar,” became embedded in academic tradition, seeming to be an inherited part of scholarship instead of an individual’s rhetorical choice and deliberate ethos strategy. Negation, when one idea or set of ideas constructed by another is critiqued, advocated, and/or redeveloped by another scholar, is a discourse practice firmly established in the Rhetorical Tradition as part of Socratic dialogues, reappears in “modern rhetoric”, and remains today as …

The Ethics Of Vaginal Birth After Cesarean,
2012
Cleveland State University
The Ethics Of Vaginal Birth After Cesarean, Sonya Charles
Philosophy and Religious Studies Department Faculty Publications
The decline in providers and facilities that will allow a trial of labor after cesarean forces many women to choose a repeat cesarean. The choice is frequently not much of a choice, however, since the full range of options are often not on the table. This limited 'choice' violates obstetricians' obligations both to respect patients' autonomy and to offer them good care. There has been a vigorous but so far not very fruitful debate in the last few years about the lack of access to a trial of labor after cesarean. Some recently released documents express concern about the limited …
Tradition-Based Rationality,

University of Dayton
Tradition-Based Rationality, Brad Kallenberg
Theology and Religious Studies Faculty Publications
The term “tradition-based rationality” derives from the works of Alasdair MacIntyre. Human reasoning, argued MacIntyre, is both tradition-constitutive and tradition-constituted. By the first phrase, he means that all reasoning, especially moral reasoning (i.e., thinking about what “good” means), involves people sharing a conceptual language (rather than a natural language like English or Chinese).
For example, think of how widely three persons may differ on their use of the word “good” when applied to their jobs. The driver of a beer truck will claim his job is “good” because he is paid well; he is resoundingly welcomed wherever he goes; and …

Spirituality And Hallucinogen Use: Results From A Pilot Study Among College Students,
2012
New Mexico State University
Spirituality And Hallucinogen Use: Results From A Pilot Study Among College Students, Adam Stasko, Satya P. Rao, Amy Pilley
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Anthropologists have studied the use of hallucinogens as a spiritual tool by indigenous
populations since the turn of the 20th century. However, literature is sparse in describing
use by non-indigenous populations. Using a study population of students from a university
in the Southwest United States, the current study investigated the spiritual development and
meaning that college students place on their use of hallucinogenic substances. The spiritual
framework developed by Love and Talbot (1999) and a transpersonal anthropological
approach were used to guide the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with
each participant. Results indicated that participants used hallucinogens for both spiritual …
Postmodern Trickster Strands In Shamanic Worlds,
2012
Santa Rosa Junior College
Postmodern Trickster Strands In Shamanic Worlds, Jürgen W. Kremer
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This essay explores socio-philosophical meanings of shamanic cultures and practices and
their affirmation and revival. What is their potential significance for humanity’s future? I
argue that shamanism engages humans in practices that put us potentially at the center of
our creativity and creative visioning. The trickster figure, a pervasive indigenous presence,
so often seems pivotal in this process and this pervasively male figure plays an important
part in this regenerative interpretation of postmodernism; in fact, postmodernism can be
understood as trickster. Just like the trickster, the nature of postmodernism is ambiguous.
I explore this ambiguity and suggest that shamanic practices …
Shamanism In Cross-Cultural Perspective,

Arizona State University–Retired
Shamanism In Cross-Cultural Perspective, Michael Winkelman
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This article reviews the origins of the concept of the shaman and the principal sources of
controversy regarding the existence and nature of shamanism. Confusion regarding the
nature of shamanism is clarified with a review of research providing empirical support for a
cross-cultural concept of shamans that distinguishes them from related shamanistic healers.
The common shamanistic universals involving altered states of consciousness are examined
from psychobiological perspectives to illustrate shamanism’s relationships to human nature.
Common biological aspects of altered states of consciousness help explain the origins of
shamanism while social influences on this aspect of human nature help to explain …
