Szabó'S Colonel Redl And The Habsburg Myth, Peter G. Christensen Mar 2006

Szabó'S Colonel Redl And The Habsburg Myth, Peter G. Christensen

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article, "Szabó's Colonel Redl and the Habsburg Myth," Peter G. Christensen examines issues that stem from the fact that Hungarian film director István Szabó has made a film whose protagonist departs in many respects from the real-life Alfred Victor Redl, who betrayed military secrets of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire to the Russians just before the First World War. The Redl in the film is clearly an outsider, but his ethnic, class, religious, and sexual identities are not clearly established. Although Szabó expressed in interviews hostility for the character of Redl created in the film, the Redl portrayed by Klaus …


Us-American Comparative Literature And The Study Of East-Central European Culture And Literature, Letitia Guran Mar 2006

Us-American Comparative Literature And The Study Of East-Central European Culture And Literature, Letitia Guran

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper, "US-American Comparative Literature and the Study of East-Central European Culture and Literature," Letitia Guran begins with a short overview of the state of the discipline of comparative literature based on the ACLA Report 2003 (ACLA: American Comparative Literature Assiociation) by Haun Saussy and its responses in order to focus on a recent comparative project of large dimensions, the ICLA: International Comparative Literature Association project History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe, organized and its volumes edited by Marcel Cornis Pope and John Neubauer.

Chaos Theory, Hypertext, And Reading Borges And Moulthrop, Perla Sassón-Henry Mar 2006

Chaos Theory, Hypertext, And Reading Borges And Moulthrop, Perla Sassón-Henry

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper "Chaos Theory, Hypertext, and Reading Borges and Moulthrop," Perla Sassón-Henry presents a multidisciplinary perspective to the study of Jorge Luis Borges's and Stuart Moulthrop's works. Sassón-Henry argues that there exists a tripartite relationship among Borges's texts, Moulthrop's Victory Garden, and chaos theory. The dialogue among these texts via chaos theory, bifurcation theory, and noise is what separates this analysis from former studies. Sassón-Henry concludes that by underscoring the reciprocal interconnectedness among Borges's stories, Victory Garden, scientific theory, and new media technology we also acknowledge the intricate connections among print literature, digital literature, and science, and thus move …

English Football And Its Hong Kong Television Audience, Victor Fan Mar 2006

English Football And Its Hong Kong Television Audience, Victor Fan

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper "English Football and Its Hong Kong Television Audience," Victor Fan applies Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's thought in their Kafka. Pour une littérature mineure to map the relationship between the English Premier League of football (soccer) and its Hong Kong television audience/spectatorship. Fan first introduces the background of the English Premier League in relation to its increasing subjugation under Thatcherite and post-Thatcherite consumerist economy. He then examines how the Premier League as televised image transforms the game to hyperreality. Fan argues that these are conditions under which the subaltern would appropriate the hyper-sign as an individuated mental …


Queer Theory And Discourses Of Desire, Louise O. Vasvári Mar 2006

Queer Theory And Discourses Of Desire, Louise O. Vasvári

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper "Queer Theory and Discourses of Desire," Louise O. Vasvári proposes that the multiplicity of ways that language constructs -- or silences -- the socially constructed expression of erotic desire is a necessary complement to the study of gendered and of sexual identity. Vasvári contributes to queer theory and its subfield, queer linguistics, with the term "queer" understood as more inclusive and less male-oriented than "gay" where queer theory seeks to read between and outside the lines of the dominant heteronormative discourses that studies how mainstream reproductive heterosexuality comes to be (re)produced through cultural narratives as self-evident, obligatory, …


Taiwan, China, And Yang Mu's Alternative To National Narratives, Lisa L.M Wong Mar 2006

Taiwan, China, And Yang Mu's Alternative To National Narratives, Lisa L.M Wong

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper, "Taiwan, China, and Yang Mu's Alternative to National Narratives," Lisa L.M. Wong examines the ways Yang Mu's poetry acts as an echo and a dissent to the mainstream national narratives in Taiwan between the late 1970s and early 1980s. During this decade, identity discourse has developed from othering Westernism to preserve Chinese cultural-national integrity to espousing a native Taiwanese identity against the Chinese one. Each of Yang's poems in Wong's analysis is a field of contention, peopled by different subjects such as the colonizers, the native Taiwanese, the female, and the diasporant, who articulate contested stories of …

Equal Access: What Does The Digital Revolution Mean For Library Web Sites?, Megan R. Sapp, Amy S. Van Epps Feb 2006

Equal Access: What Does The Digital Revolution Mean For Library Web Sites?, Megan R. Sapp, Amy S. Van Epps

Libraries Research Publications

Librarians have used the principle of equal access to protect the rights of patrons for years. In light of the digital revolution that has happened in the past ten years, equal access has taken on a new significance. The digital revolution has produced a new patron class who primarily access the library’s resources through the library website. These patrons, primarily undergraduate college students, are technologically savvy, have high expectations for customer service, and are format agnostic, prizing resource proximity over quality. Based on this understanding of our new patrons, librarians must seek to create equal access through the library website.


Regional Patient Safety Initiatives: The Missing Element Of Organizational Change , James G. Anderson Jan 2006

Regional Patient Safety Initiatives: The Missing Element Of Organizational Change , James G. Anderson

RCHE Publications

Data-sharing systems—where healthcare providers jointly implement a common reporting system to promote voluntary reporting, information sharing, and learning—are emerging as an important regional, statelevel,‎ and national strategy for improving patient safety[1]. Currently, over 24 states have mandated some form of incident reporting. Also, there has been a steady increase in the number of regional coalitions of providers, payers, and employers working to improve patient safety. More recently, the President signed into law the Healthcare Information Exchange Act, which envisages such data sharing at a national level. The objective of this presentation is to review the evidence regarding the effectiveness of …

Gtap-M: A Gtap Model And Data Base That Incorporates Domestic Margins, Everett Peterson Jan 2006

Gtap-M: A Gtap Model And Data Base That Incorporates Domestic Margins, Everett Peterson

GTAP Technical Papers Archive

Transportation, wholesaling, and retailing activities are a significant segment of economic activity in many economies. The magnitude of these activities can vary greatly between products, users, and regions. However, in most applied general equilibrium (AGE) analyses, these marketing activities are not tied to specific commodities. This paper develops a model framework and database that incorporates domestic marketing margins on domestic and imported goods going to final demand or used as intermediate inputs, and margins on exports, into the standard GTAP Model. The effects of incorporating domestic marketing activities into an AGE model are illustrated by comparing the results of the …

Purdue Writing Lab/Purdue OWL Research Reports

This report outlines the history of the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) and details the OWL Usability Project through the summer of 2006. The paper also discusses test methodologies, describes test methods, provides participant demographics, and presents findings and recommendations of the tests. The purpose of this report is to provide researchers, administrators, and pedagogues interested in usability and Writing Labs access to information on the Purdue OWL Usability Project. We hope our findings—and this open source approach to our research—will contribute positively to the corpus on usability and Writing Lab studies.
