The Humanities, Human Rights, And The Comparative Imagination, Sophia A. Mcclennen
The Humanities, Human Rights, And The Comparative Imagination, Sophia A. Mcclennen
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her paper "The Humanities, Human Rights, and the Comparative Imagination" Sophia A. McClennen argues that understanding the relationship between culture and human rights depends on humanist perspectives attentive to the relationship between storytelling and identity, mass culture and ideology, text and audience, critical thinking and engaged citizenship. After briefly considering how the divide between the humanities and human rights advocates developed and how it might best be overcome, she suggests that comparative cultural studies grounded in an ethical commitment to study the relationship between culture and society offers an indispensable perspective on the ties between culture and identity integral …

The Global Phenomenon Of "Humanizing" Terrorism In Literature And Cinema, Elaine Martin
The Global Phenomenon Of "Humanizing" Terrorism In Literature And Cinema, Elaine Martin
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her paper "The Global Phenomenon of 'Humanizing' Terrorism in Literature and Cinema" Elaine Martin presents -- following a discussion of two early examples, Schiller's The Robbers and Heinrich von Kleist's Michael Kohlhaas (1810) -- an analysis of several contemporary works that model different ways of representing terrorism: Heinrich Böll's The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum (1975) and its 1976 filmic adaptation by Volker Schlöndorff, Doris Lessing's The Good Terrorist (1985), Santosh Sivan's film The Terrorist (1999), and Tom Tykwer's film Heaven (2002). Edward Said provided a critique of the battle against terrorism, saying that it is selective ("we" are …
The Logic And Language Of Torture, Jonathan H. Marks
The Logic And Language Of Torture, Jonathan H. Marks
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper "The Logic and Language of Torture," Jonathan H. Marks explores the tragic temptation of torture in the wake of the 11 September 2001 attacks. Emotive responses to terrorism fueled by ticking bomb scenarios and other narrative constructs caused the U.S. to reconsider torture and the boundaries of permissible interrogation tactics in the aftermath of 9/11. While many in the media and the academy debated the necessity of "interrogational torture," the government decided that something more than moral reconstruction was required. For that reason, it embarked on a campaign of legal exceptionalism. While affirming its commitment to the …
Collateral Damage And The "Incident" At Haditha, Tom Engelhardt
Collateral Damage And The "Incident" At Haditha, Tom Engelhardt
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper, "Collateral Damage and the 'Incident' at Haditha," Tom Engelhardt provides a comparative analysis of the massacres of innocent civilians in the Viet Nam and Iraqi wars. Focusing on the events of My Lai, Haditha, Abu Ghraib, and Fallujah, Engelhardt traces the uncanny resemblance between the ways that the military attempted to contain the flow of information about these atrocities. Engelhardt analyzes the rhetorical tropes of media coverage via the favored terms of "collateral damage" and "incident" and the preferred statistics that always claim that 99.9% of the military conducts itself professionally. The fact that the media not …
A Monk's Tale, Sam Hamill
A Monk's Tale, Sam Hamill
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper, "A Monk's Tale," Sam Hamill recounts his ongoing commitment to using poetry as a form of protest and explains how poetry bridges the personal and the public, weaving together the life of one poet and that of an entire globe. In late January 2003, in response to an invitation to a symposium by Laura Bush to celebrate "Poetry and the American Voice," Hamill declined to participate; a longtime pacifist, he could not in good faith visit the White House following the recent news of George W. Bush's plan for a unilateral "Shock and Awe" attack on Iraq. …

Mass-Mediated Social Terror In Spain, Nicholas Manganas
Mass-Mediated Social Terror In Spain, Nicholas Manganas
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper, "Mass-Mediated Social Terror in Spain," Nicholas Manganas explores mass-mediated narratives associated with social terror. Manganas posits that one approach to understanding social terror is to conceptualize it as a process of narrativization. Manganas takes a global view while at the same time applying that approach to the contemporary Spanish political and cultural context following the 11 March 2004 terrorist attacks in Madrid. He views the current social and political panorama of Spain as an example of social terror in dialogue with both current and historical national discourses. Manganas details the events surrounding the March 11 attack in …
The Tortured Body, The Photograph, And The U.S. War On Terror, Julie Gerk Hernandez
The Tortured Body, The Photograph, And The U.S. War On Terror, Julie Gerk Hernandez
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
Julie Gerk Hernandez, in her article "The Tortured Body, the Photograph, and the U.S. War on Terror," engages in an analysis of the institutional mechanisms that lead to dehumanizing violence as a result of the ongoing allegations of torture of detainees at U.S. military bases at Abu Ghraib, in Afghanistan, and at Guantánamo. Hernandez conducts her investigation by examining the photographed torture at Abu Ghraib as an atavistic resurgence of the representational practices at work in post-Civil-War racial lynching. Hernandez also explores the historical and visual parallels between the photographs at Abu Ghraib and the photographs of post-Civil-War lynchings in …
Media In A Capitalist Culture, Barbara Trent
Media In A Capitalist Culture, Barbara Trent
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article, "Media in a Capitalist Culture," Barbara Trent looks at the negative effects that capitalism has on the media and how those effects may be overcome. Trent intertwines personal experience with socio-historical context to give the reader a genuine feel for political filmmaking in a Hollywood dominated world. She describes how her Academy Award winning film The Panama Deception was removed from a Cineplex, even after out-grossing all of the other films there, because Warner Brothers wanted the screen. After an examination of the impact a dominant Hollywood has on local culture around the world, Trent offers three …
Poetry And The Aesthetic Of Morality, Michael Mcirvin
Poetry And The Aesthetic Of Morality, Michael Mcirvin
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper "Poetry and the Aesthetic of Morality," Michael McIrvin charts the fall of language from its mythologized acquisition through its use in communal history and ritual to its present diminished function as advertiser's tool and means of control by those in power. The partial exegesis of a poem written in response to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the subsequent US response illustrates that the assignation of otherness on the present grand scale is emblematic of this diminishment. McIrvin argues that President Bush's misspeak leading up to the war and to the last presidential election is …
Reading South African Media Representations Of Islam After 11 September 2001, Gabeba Baderoon
Reading South African Media Representations Of Islam After 11 September 2001, Gabeba Baderoon
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her paper, "Reading South African Media Representations of Islam after 11 September 2001," Gabeba Baderoon probes the resonances of news representations of 11 September 2001. Baderoon examines the events of that day from the perspective of South Africa, arguing that the international media became located and embodied through the representations of the highly visible and grievable deaths of just under three thousand people in the United States. Her analysis reveals a complex view that derives from the legacy of legislated racial discrimination crafted under the policy of Apartheid as well as the presence of Muslims brought as slaves during …
The Terrorist Event, Bill Nichols
The Terrorist Event, Bill Nichols
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "The Terrorist Event," Bill Nichols examines how the US media attempted to make meaning of the events of 9/11. How were news anchors and producers to explain an event that escaped their comprehension? Without context or historical equivalence in the US, news outlets groped for a narrative in which to frame the event even if that meant creating the meaning themselves. In their attempt to create meaning, what sorts of fetishes and fantasies did they draw-on and in turn create? The result is that the US excuses itself from its own past and future barbarism as it …
Artists In Times Of War, Howard Zinn
Artists In Times Of War, Howard Zinn
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article, "Artists in Times of War," Howard Zinn examines the role of the artist during war time and finds that the transcendent nature of art not only shows us the beauty of everyday life, but can also go beyond everyday politics and media hype to critically address the problems of the day. In fact, Zinn suggests that it is the job of artists to "to think outside the boundaries of permissible thought and dare to say things that no one else will say." For Zinn, this is especially important given the intensity of the events of 9/11 where …
Adaptation Of Lean Methodologies For Healthcare Applications, Heather (Woodward) Hagg, Deanna Suskovich, Jamie Workman-Germann, Susan Scachitti, Brian Hudson, Joseph Swartz, Chris Vanni
Adaptation Of Lean Methodologies For Healthcare Applications, Heather (Woodward) Hagg, Deanna Suskovich, Jamie Workman-Germann, Susan Scachitti, Brian Hudson, Joseph Swartz, Chris Vanni
RCHE Publications
Lean and Six Sigma quality concepts and terminology have been applied in the manufacturing arena since the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. It has only been in recent years that healthcare administrators have identified these methods as being adaptable to their organizations so that they may realize organizational improvements for continuing success and delighting customers. Unfortunately, this is not an application that is widely taught in typical Industrial Engineering curriculum and therefore there are few educated professionals coming right out of college that are able to apply these principles to healthcare. There are however, many experienced professionals knowledgeable in the …
Feasibility Of Ddos Attacks With P2p Systems And Prevention Through Robust Membership Management, Xin Sun, Ruben Torres, Sanjay Rao
Feasibility Of Ddos Attacks With P2p Systems And Prevention Through Robust Membership Management, Xin Sun, Ruben Torres, Sanjay Rao
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports
We show that malicious nodes in a peer-to-peer system may impact the external Internet environment, by causing largescale distributed denial of service attacks on nodes not even part of the overlay system. This is in contrast to attacks that disrupt the normal functioning, and performance of the overlay system itself. We formulate several principles critical to the design of membership management protocols robust to such attacks. We show that (i) pull-based mechanisms are preferable to push-based mechanisms; (ii) it is critical to validate membership information received by a node, and even simple probe-based techniques can be quite effective; (iii) validating …
Hyperthermic Effects Of Gold Nanorods On Tumor Cells, Terry B. Huff, Ling Tong, Matthew N. Hansen, Ji-Xin Cheng, Alexander Wei
Hyperthermic Effects Of Gold Nanorods On Tumor Cells, Terry B. Huff, Ling Tong, Matthew N. Hansen, Ji-Xin Cheng, Alexander Wei
Other Nanotechnology Publications
Plasmon-resonant gold nanorods, which have large absorption cross sections at near-infrared frequencies, are excellent candidates as multifunctional agents for image-guided therapies based on localized hyperthermia. The controlled modification of the surface chemistry of the nanorods is of critical importance, as issues of cell-specific targeting and nonspecific uptake must be addressed prior to clinical evaluation. Nanorods coated with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (a cationic surfactant used in nanorod synthesis) are internalized within hours into KB cells by a nonspecific uptake pathway, whereas the careful removal of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide from nanorods functionalized with folate results in their accumulation on the cell surface over the …

A Wideband Pvdf-On-Silicon Ultrasonic Transducer Array With Microspheres Embedded Low Melting Temperature Alloy Backing, Hyun-Joong Kim, Hanwoo Lee, Babak Ziaie
Other Nanotechnology Publications
A PVDF-based 8-element ultrasound transducer array (1 mm x 1 mm element size with an inter-element spacing of 1 mm) on a silicon carrier substrate is fabricated and characterized. To improve the performance of the transducer, new CMOS-compatible fabrication technologies are introduced. These include: (1) adhesive micro-contact printing on non-radiating areas, and (2) glass microspheres (7-20 mu m in diameter) embedded low melting temperature alloy (LMA) for backside electrical connection. The first improvement removes the adverse effects of adhesive layer (e.g., lower sensitivity) between the PVDF and backside contact while the second one improves the pulse-echo signal quality by eliminating …

Transactional Economics: John Dewey's Ways Of Knowing And The Radical Subjectivism Of The Austrian School, Robert Mulligan
Transactional Economics: John Dewey's Ways Of Knowing And The Radical Subjectivism Of The Austrian School, Robert Mulligan
Education and Culture
The radical subjectivism of the Austrian school of economics is a special case of Dewey’s ways of knowing. Austrian economists adopted an Aristotelian deductive approach to economic issues such as social behavior and exchange. In Dewey’s contrasting view, the scientist commends new, alternative ways of knowing to the scientific community, offering more profound insight or more efficacious practical applications. Alternative ways of knowing which do not offer practical or intellectual benefits are to be rejected. Dewey’s transactional strategy, asserting knowledge as ways of knowing, suggests a broader and more fundamental critique of the socialist position in the calculation debate. The …
Democratic Education: A Deweyan Reminder, Randall S. Hewitt
Democratic Education: A Deweyan Reminder, Randall S. Hewitt
Education and Culture
Educational historians, philosophers, and sociologists have long warned that the increasing encroachment of business logic in public schools bodes ill for democracy as a way of life. Many have concluded that the business person’s interest in affecting public education is to bring about a greater bottom line, which, of course, is profit, albeit secured in the name of democratic freedom and social progress. These scholars have noted that the corporate parasite is eating away the insides of our public schools and is reproducing its hereditary material (consumer materialism) within the bodies and souls of its captive hosts: our children. Through …
