Clcweb Call For Papers: World Literature As World Crisis: Discussing World Literature To Change The World

CLCWeb Calls for Papers

It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism--this slogan has been associated with different contemporary thinkers, most notably Fredric Jameson, a comparatist whose passing in 2024 was itself felt by many as the end of an era. In Jameson’s thought, however, there is an even more binding slogan, urging us to always historicize. One way to historicize the imagery of the end under capitalism would be to trace its workings in the idea of world literature. Historically, world literature has been grasped as a force of mediation in a disintegrating world, and in …

Integrating Intercultural Competencies In An Introductory Business Information Literacy Course, Annette Bochenek, Heather A. Howard, Zoeanna A. Mayhook

Libraries Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research

Librarians at a large Midwestern university integrated intercultural competencies into an information literacy course taught annually to over 100 first-year business students. The interventions aim to improve intercultural skills and characteristics as defined by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AACU) Intercultural Knowledge and Competence VALUE Rubric. Student intercultural competencies were assessed via online surveys according to the VALUE Rubric, comparing pre-, retrospective, and post-self-assessments. Students' intercultural competencies changed as a result of engaging with the course material. This paper describes the classroom interventions implemented by librarians, results from survey data analysis, and implications for library instruction.

The Poetics Of Literary Haiku, John J. Han Feb 2025

The Poetics Of Literary Haiku, John J. Han

KAUPA Letters

Haiku, a nature-based Japanese lyric form, encapsulates vivid imagery to evoke emotional resonance in readers. This poetic form avoids direct exposition or philosophizing, focusing instead on momentary “aha” experiences through the juxtaposition of natural and human elements. Traditional haiku often adhere to a seasonal theme, employing kigo (seasonal words) to reflect the connection between nature and human emotions. Contemporary English haiku have evolved beyond the rigid 5-7-5 syllabic structure, favoring brevity and an emphasis on imagery over didacticism or sentimentality. Effective haiku employ simple language, present tense, and a juxtaposition of interconnected images, often ending with a surprising or thought-provoking …

Drivers And Barriers To Financial Transparency In Georgia’S Local Governments, Min S. Kim

The Guardianship Journal

This study investigates the determinants of financial transparency in local governments, specifically measured by the availability of financial documents on official websites. Hypotheses were developed to examine the relationships between financial transparency and three categories of influencing factors: community environmental characteristics, governance structures, and financial conditions. Using empirical analysis on a sample of 159 counties in Georgia, the findings reveal varying levels of support for the proposed hypotheses. Key determinants of financial transparency include population size, median household income, and the size of the board of commissioners. Conversely, financial condition factors were not found to significantly influence financial transparency. These …

Exploring Modern Data Accessibility Surrounding Police-Involved Killings Of Black Citizens, Chloe Robinson, Jenna L. Borseth

The Guardianship Journal

The need for greater data transparency regarding police-involved killings has been a recurring issue raised by scholars in the field. With limited means of using official policing data, research in the area of police-involved fatalities and other critical policing issues has relied on alternative data sources. While the government has historically failed to instill a mechanism for systematically collecting this information, the development of the Use-of-Force Data Collection in 2019 was an initial step in improving data transparency. The current study seeks to reassess the accessibility and utility of various data sources following the publication of the Use-of-Force Data Collection. …

Book Review Of Voices Of A New Generation, Vanna Nauk Jan 2025

Book Review Of Voices Of A New Generation, Vanna Nauk

Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement

The book offers an ample narrative archive that can serve as a source for scholarly inquiry, especially for scholars interested in Fine Arts, Contemporary Music, Fashion Design, Culinary Arts, and Film and Theatre Arts. The book can also serve as a resource for K12 social science teachers interested in personal narratives to supplement course lessons. However, as a college professor of Ethnic Studies, I would advise the book to be used in conjunction with scholarship on deviant and model minority myths. After all, affective stories without theory and context can change hearts, but they do not offer abstract tools for …
