[Review Of] Sidner J. Larson. Catch Colt. American Indian Lives, Dorie S. Goldman

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Catch Colt describes Gros Ventre writer Sidner J. Larson's experience as a mixed-blood Native American looking for his heritage, identity, and personal direction. Although minority fiction writers (such as Rudolfo A. Anaya and Leslie Marmon Silko) have addressed this theme, non-fiction discussions of mixed-blood Native American lives are lacking. Larson's autobiography, however, is only moderately successful because he fails to make readers identify with his struggle as a member of “two different worlds at the same time...with a degree of non-acceptance by both."

[Review Of] Laura Uba. Asian Americans: Personality Patterns, Identity, And Mental Health, Linda Gonzalves

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

When looking at issues of ethnicity and mental health we are constantly reminded that there is, at present, no unified paradigm to guide either the practitioner or the research scholar. What we do know is that the human organism is a socially constructed being. We also know that there are species-specific human needs that play out in the formation of mental well being; there does exist a common denominator, if you will, of optimum conditions and relational situations that underly all human development. Mental health is an arena where the universality of human needs meets the specificity or relativity of …

[Review Of] Melissa L. Meyer. The White Earth Tragedy: Ethnicity And Dispossession At A Minnesota Anishinaabe Reservation, 1889-1920, Raymond A. Bucko

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Employing a broad multi-disciplinary approach which includes history, anthropology, economics, demography, ecology, and political science, Meyer, a U.C.L.A. historian, has created a sensitive and sweeping analysis of the creation and metamorphosis of the Anishinaabeg ("Chippewa" or "Ojibwe”) who eventually located in contemporary Minnesota on the White Earth Reservation. Eschewing stereotypes of Indians as mere victims of Euro-American history, Meyer shows how the Anishinaabeg -- themselves internally heterogeneous -- transform, adapt, innovate and respond according to their own interests and to changes around them.

The Rhetoric Of Torts: How Advocates Help Jurors Think About Causation, Reasonableness, And Responsibility, Neal R. Feigenson

UC Law Journal

How do jurors in accident cases think about negligence, and to what extent do their conceptions conform to the law? This Article examines closing arguments in several accident cases, showing the extent to which advocates appeal to the knowledge structures and inferential heuristics that people use to judge causation and responsibility in everyday life. Through argument structure, point of view, verb tense, metaphor, and other linguistic devices, attorneys construct a rhetoric that combines legal rules with the tools of ordinary judgment. The conceptions of negligence implicit in these arguments occasionally conflict with the law; the Article indicates the cognitive and …

Legal Emotion: The Women's Story In Totem And Taboo, Arthur J. Jacobson

Cardozo Law Review

My aim is to uncover the unconscious emotions characteristically associated with some basic legal institutions. These emotions are ones we invariably have when we follow or enforce rules, fulfill duties, and claim or exercise rights. We know the conscious emotions that we experience-the cruelty of rules and our fear of them, the hopes in rights, security of duties, and so forth. Yet not all the emotions that we encounter in basic legal institutions are conscious. We experience unconscious emotions as well.

Effects Of Assets On Attitudes And Behaviors: Advance Test Of A Social Policy Proposal, Gautam N. Yadama, Michael Sherraden

Center for Social Development Research

Raising asset limits and creating individual development accounts have been proposed in welfare reform. In part the rationale for these proposals is that assets have positive effects on attitudes and behaviors, including long-term planning, greater work effort, and improved social connectedness. The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), between 1968 and 1972, included a wide range of attitude and behavioral measures. In this study, data from the PSID are analyzed to test for the following: a) the effect of assets on attitudes and behaviors; b) the effect of attitudes and behaviors on assets; c) the effect of income on attitudes …

Barcelona And Its Rulers, 1096-1291, Stephen P. Bensch

History Faculty Works

Based on extensive archival research, this volume examines the early growth of Barcelona and the formation of its ruling classes and challenges many traditional assumptions about the nature of Mediterranean towns. Because the city emerged as a commercial centre later than its rivals, the transformation of the urban economy from a regional agricultural market into an international trading emporium is well documented and places the take-off of the European economy in a new light. Barcelona's growth consisted of two distinct phases, interrupted by a long period of stagnation: the first phase was based on market-oriented agriculture and tribute from Islamic …

Queen Anne's Lace, Patricia Z. Cowden

Intertext

This paper, an assignment for Chris Madden's Writing 105 Class, asked us to write about a time or event which caused us to change our minds about something important to us. I thought that there couldn't be a better change for me to write about than the one that seemed to be culminating at that moment. We were asked to explain and contextualize our original belief, identify how our ideas had changed, and account for the process of re-thinking. Writing Queen Anne's Lace was quite a release, and the experience has left me fascinated with the power of writing to …

The Beads Of Tenth- To Twelfth-Century Hungary, Katalin Szilágyi

BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers

An examination of the beads recovered from three Hungarian cemeteries in use during the 10th-12th centuries resulted in the identification of 61 distinct bead types. Seven of these were found to be significant on the basis of frequency analysis, and represent the beads most used by the local population. The study is enhanced by comparative material from a number of other contemporary archaeological sites in and around the country. The classification system developed for this study is applicable to other geographical areas and time periods, and may be expanded or otherwise modified to suit the needs of other researchers.

Merovingian Beads On The Lower Rhine, Frank Siegmund

BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers

This paper presents a classification for beads of the Merovingian period (ca. A.D. 450-750) in the Lower Rhine region of Germany. Strings of beads recovered from graves are ordered by a seriation (correspondence analysis) which results in an ethnic (Roman vs. Frankish) and chronological structuring of the material. By comparing this with the chronological scheme established for the other archaeological finds, it becomes evident that the favored types of beads changed about every two generations. Besides changes in distinctive types, a development in general color preference is also observed.

For The Love Of Lacan, Jacques Derrida

Cardozo Law Review

What wouldn't Lacan have said!

What won't he have said!

This is not a question, it is an exclamation: to get my voice right, to find the appropriate tone, before beginning to try out this idiomatic conjunction of negation, denial [denegation], conditional and future in the past, my hypothesis being that these grammars, now in succession, now simultaneously, play the role of a screen and of a mirror in the modalities of the with, as they do in the modalities of the since [depuis] that will have determined Lacan's relationship to the philosophers-to certain philosophers. These few reflections on temporal …

The Other Dimension Of Law, Pierre Legendre

Cardozo Law Review

What kind of a questioning would make it possible for psychoanalysis to become theoretically useful for jurists? How could such a questioning have an effect on the practice of law? In the same measure, is it theoretically plausible for psychoanalysts, attached as they are to their own casuistry, to interrogate the law? What must be recognized from the start, if this questioning is to be more than superficial, is that the intellectual and social dogmas of today are obstacles to the liberty of thought [esprit].

Interwar German Theories Of International Law: The Psychoanalytical And Phenomenologicial Perspectives Of Hans Kelsen And Carl Schmitt, Anthony Carty

Cardozo Law Review

After 1918, the social foundations of legal positivism and formalism in Central Europe-especially where German was spoken-were shattered. The political neutrality of the legal profession had previously allowed it to equate legality and legitimacy in the form of the monarchical constitution. The breakdown of the traditional order led to a crisis of constitutional legitimacy. Power seemed destined to fall directly into the hands of the "masses" and neither traditional, liberal, nor conservative bourgeois (professional middle-class) opinion was comfortable about this prospect. There followed a profound debate about the nature of the state and political society.

A Descriptive Study Of Organizational Culture And Climate In Selected Elementary And Secondary Parochial Schools, Maureen C. Thiec

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to collect and interpret base-line data concerning the organizational culture and climate of selected elementary and secondary schools. The sample consisted of 20 parochial schools, 10 elementary and 10 secondary, in the mideast section of the United states. The study focused on three specific questions: 1) What are the cultural values of parochial schools, 2) What is the organizational climate of parochial schools, and 3) Do the cultural values and climate characteristics of parochial elementary schools differ from those of parochial secondary schools? Nelson's (1990) Cultural Value Analysis Tool (CVAT) was used to gather …

A Study Of Gender-Role Attitudes Among Contemporary White And African American Couples, Margaret Cecile Dust

Dissertations

Problem. Limited and conflictual studies have been completed on White and African American marriages and gender-roles. As a result, this study sought to compare perceptions of gender-roles in White and African American married couples. In addition, this study looked at relationships between gender-roles, length of marriage, and level of education in White and African American married couples.

Method. A total of 92 couples (26 African American, 33 White interacting married, 33 White non-interacting defacto) participated in this study. The defacto couples served as a control group.
