Seeing Double: A Diplopic Aesthetic In Experience And Performance, Samuel S. Sloan

Research Papers

This investigation uses an autoethnographic approach to investigate the author's personal, phenomenological experience of diplopia, double vision, in order to apply the lived condition to an aesthetic form in performance. Using Kuppers's notion of a “crip aesthetic,” this piece re-functions a potential aspect of disability, the condition of diplopia, as a way of opening up discourses of multiplicity in art and performance. The author also calls for others to integrate non-normative body states into their art praxis.

Act 1: The Ocean Smell (1624-1938), James Smith Allen

A Privileged Past

The first act of "A Privileged Past" recounts the history of four families – the Allens of Manchester, Massachusetts; the Roomes of New York, New York; the Kruegers of Newark, New Jersey; and the Smiths also of Newark – since their arrival from Europe (the first two in the seventeenth century, the latter two in the nineteenth). These people brought with them distinct ethnic identities, which helped define the communities they joined, and in some cases led, as immigrants to the new world. Their experiences across and by the Atlantic Ocean are captured by this chapter’s prevailing figure of speech, …

Prelude, James Smith Allen

A Privileged Past

Yes, "A Privileged Past" is an autobiography – and something more. Structured like a comic opera to evoke the sensuous sources of personal recollection, this book explores the interrelations of public and private memory.

Its narrative is based on the author’s experiences, of course, but also on those of his forebears and their descendants, set in six historical contexts: immigration, social mobility, cultural capital, individual agency, national identity, and public education. These circumstances have driven all Americans’ faith in self, family, and better times, perhaps as early as the arrival of European settlers in the 1600s.

Drawing on documentation such …

Act 6: A Sixth Sense?, James Smith Allen

A Privileged Past

The last act of "A Privileged Past" is devoted to the author’s life and work in higher education at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and its ecological niche on the northern-most edge of the Shawnee National Forest. The faculty member’s teaching, research, and service are described and set within the context of an evolving academic community and its relationship to a larger environment. Given the limitations of empirical knowledge, the chapter’s chief metaphor is a sixth sense of what is right and of use to others, students especially, who are intent upon a better life for themselves.

A Pragmatic Assessment Of Government Support For Organic Agriculture In Ireland, Leslie Duram

Publications

Drawing on a pragmatic approach, this paper provides an analysis of governmental support for organic farming in Ireland. There are varying levels of encouragement and programmes provided to farmers in their conversion from conventional to organic production, and in their maintenance of organic production. Support policies vary across regions and are linked to European Union legislation, thus it is challenging to document the many types of support in place. This research investigates relevant technical, financial, and policy support available to organic farmers in Ireland. This exploratory study develops an assessment of Ireland within eight key categories of organic agricultural support: …

Naive Psychological Science: The Prevalence, Strength, And Sources Of Misconceptions, Annette Kujawski Taylor, Patricia Kowalski

The Psychological Record

Studies show that misconceptions about psychology are pervasive. This study examined how the strength of prior beliefs and the sources of misinformation relate to conceptual change following an introductory psychology course. Ninety introductory psychology students completed a 36-item "Psychological Information" questionnaire. Testing during the 1 st day of the semester showed 38.5% accuracy whereas testing during the last week showed 66.3% accuracy. These results suggest that misconceptions remain prevalent but can be reduced by taking an introductory psychology course. Our data also indicate that strength of belief is an important transitional variable that may reflect the process of change. Finally, …
