Narrative And Everyday Experience: Performance Process In The Storytelling Of The Swiss Volhynian Mennonites. (Volumes I And Ii)., John Elmer Mccabe-Juhnke

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study examines oral narrative performance within the cultural context of the Swiss Volhynian Mennonites in Moundridge, Kansas, whose forebears were members of a congregational group that migrated from the Russian Province of Volhynia in 1874. These immigrants strove to maintain Gemeinde--a mutually supportive community of believers separated from the world. A Swiss Volhynian Mennonite himself, the author tape-recorded interviews with second and third generation descendants of the Russian immigrants. Using the interview transcriptions and personal observation in the Moundridge community as primary data, the author demonstrates how the formative elements of everyday narrative performance both sustain and are shaped …

A Geographical Perspective On United States Capital Punishment, 1801-1960., Eliza Husband

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Geographical anomalies in American capital punishment are a key to interpreting this social practice. A nationwide change occurred after the 1830s from public execution to sequestered penitentiary execution. A regional contrast began developing during the same period that has lasted until now, with some states holding 20 or more executions annually, while others abolished the death penalty 75-125 years ago. The United States furnishes historical geographical conditions for persistence of capital punishment whose aftereffects are unlikely to be overcome. Popular support for the death penalty is efficacious in a democratized, decentralized decision-making process. Popular support has been particularly strong when …

The Ethics Program at General Dynamics was examined not only as a case example of a planned, intended change, but as a vehicle for broad strategic goals pertaining to human resources management.

Nonverbal Communication From The Other Side: Speaking Body Language, John L. Barkai

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, Professor Barkai highlights the relationship between nonverbal communication and the legal profession.

As such, he sets out to define a broader and more universal role for conscious nonverbal communication in law. His analysis covers the mechanics of body language and the importance of nonverbal communication in the law office whether dealing with other attorneys, witnesses, or clients. Using research drawn from the social sciences, the author concludes that lawyers can consciously speak body …

The Importance Of Technology Assessment Procedures For Missionary Trainees, James Michael Hoeksema

Creativity In Aboriginal Students And The Implications For Language Teaching, Raeme Goves-Jacka

Theses : Honours

The current level of scholastic success of Aboriginal students in Western Australian schools is overviewed together with some concerns regarding Aboriginal cognition. The issues which appear to inhibit in Aboriginal children the sort of cognitive development which is beneficial for schooling are reviewed. These are seen as cultural discontinuity, Vygotsky's belief in the cultural transmission of language, political constraints and the concept that different cultures with different needs produce different modes of thinking. Aboriginal child rearing practices are also reviewed together with the definition, process and product of creativity. The review also deals with the creative person, the creative environment, …

The Orchestration Of Nature's Writing Surfaces, Laurie M. O'Reilly

Anthós Journal (1990-1996)

This articles stretches Derrida’s notion of writing by positing that writing itself might be thought of as "that which can be read or interpreted." This breaks the absolute bond between writing and human handicraft and suggests new ways of understanding the way we interpret natural phenomena. This paper traces this concept through numerous natural phenomena and suggests that perhaps the limits of meaning might have more to do with the interpreter’s range of understanding when it comes to natural gestures and "writings." In the end writing comes to be understood as durative, or has having duration. In this interpretation comes …

Sex Stereotyping And The Promotion Of Women To Positions Of Power, Mary F. Radford

UC Law Journal

In Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, the United States Supreme Court set out a framework for decisionmaking in cases in which impermissible factors, such as sex stereotyping, play a role in an employment decision. This Article examines the case in light both of current feminist legal theories and of psychological and sociological studies evidencing the prevalence of sex stereotyping in the workplace. The Article compares the Hopkins case with cases such as Craft v. Metromedia, Inc. and Hishon v. King & Spaulding, in which women also have sought-and been denied- success, in the highest positions of leadership and power in their …

Variation Procedures In Northern Ewe Song, V. Kofi Agawu

Publications and Research

The major organizational principle of Northern Ewe song is one shared by numerous African, Oriental, and European musical traditions: a small number of models (variously described as "basic shapes," "archetypes," "background structures," "basic designs," "core patterns," "deep structures") is transformed in a wide variety of ways during performance. Variation takes place on different hierarchic levels both within and between songs and includes practically all of a song's dimensions (rhythm, interval, register, contour, harmony, and so on). This principle, although widely demonstrated in the literature on African song (see, among others, Jones 1976; Kauffman 1984; Schmidt 1984; and Erlmann 1985), is …
