Describing And Comparing Archaeological Spatial Structures, Luann Wandsnider Jan 1996

Describing And Comparing Archaeological Spatial Structures, Luann Wandsnider

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

Quantitative archaeological spatial analysis today is radically different from that introduced more than 20 years ago. Today spatial analysis is couched in more general formational terms that include earlier functional pursuits. Today spatial analysts (1) focus on individual formationally sensitive artifact or element attributes, rather than on types; (2) use distributional rather than partitive methods and techniques; (3) consider a suite of such attributes to construct the formational history of archaeological deposits; and, least commonly, (4) undertake comparative spatial analysis. An elaboration of the latter tactic is proposed here, that of characterizing spatial structure in terms of structural elements (or …


Cattle, Co-Wives, Children, And Calabashes: Material Context For Symbol Use Among The Il Chamus Of West-Central Kenya, Alan J. Osborn Jan 1996

Cattle, Co-Wives, Children, And Calabashes: Material Context For Symbol Use Among The Il Chamus Of West-Central Kenya, Alan J. Osborn

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

This paper examines systemic contexts for symbol use among the Maa-speaking Il Chamus in the Lake Baringo region of west-central Kenya. The systemic context for symbols and material culture consists of the environmental constraints and behavioral responses that characterize pastoralist life in East Africa. The author's interest in this problem developed in response to Ian Hodder’s work among the Il Chamus, Pokot, and Tugen in the Baringo District. Unlike Hodder, however, the author argues that symbols and their use in East Africa can be more productively explained from a materialist perspective. Specifically, it is proposed that symbols affixed to certain …

Defining Cutting Edge Scholarship: Feminism And Criteria Of Rationality, Nancy Levit Jan 1996

Defining Cutting Edge Scholarship: Feminism And Criteria Of Rationality, Nancy Levit

Faculty Works

All too often, attempts to define or evaluate good scholarship develop criteria of meritocracy that reinforce existing hierarchies. Some of the efforts are quantitative. They involve cataloguing articles as measured by overall citation rates, ranking law reviews by citation counts, or classifying articles on a "greatest hits" list. Or they may count citations to construct a list of articles most-often-cited in fancy publications. Other efforts to describe quality scholarship involve the construction of criteria of merit, often for purposes of pronouncing what sorts of scholarship qualify for tenure, and for disqualifying nontraditional ideas and forms of writing as unworthy. The …

Crossroads, Milestones, Amd Landmarks In Insect Development And Evolution: Implications For Systematics, Rob Desalle, Donat Agosti, Michael Whiting, Beatriz Perez-Sweeney, James Remsen, Rick Baker, James Bonacum, Ranhy Bang Jan 1996

Crossroads, Milestones, Amd Landmarks In Insect Development And Evolution: Implications For Systematics, Rob Desalle, Donat Agosti, Michael Whiting, Beatriz Perez-Sweeney, James Remsen, Rick Baker, James Bonacum, Ranhy Bang

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

Our understanding of insect development and evolution has increased greatly due to recent advances in the comparative developmental approach. Modem developmental biology techniques such as in situ hybridization and molecular analysis of developmentally important genes and gene families have greatly facilitated these advances. The role of the comparative developmental approach in insect systematics is explored in this paper and we suggest two important applications of the approach to insect systematics--character dissection and morphologicallandmarking. Exi~ng morphological characters can be dissected into their genetic and molecular components in some cases and this will lead to more and richer character information in systematic …

Metaphor And Monophony In The Twentieth-Century Psychology Of Emotions, Kenneth J. Gergen Jan 1996

Metaphor And Monophony In The Twentieth-Century Psychology Of Emotions, Kenneth J. Gergen

Psychology Faculty Works

Attempts to define the emotions and elucidate their character have ornamented the intellectual landscape for over two thousand years. Two characteristics of this continuing colloquy are particularly noteworthy: first, the presumption of palpability and, second, the interminability of debate. In the former case, until the present century there has been little doubting the obdurate existence of the emotions. In the second book of the Rhetoric, Aristotle distinguished among 15 emotional states; Aquinas's Summa Theologiae enumerated 6 “affective” and 5 “spirited” emotions; Descartes distinguished among 6 primary passions of the soul; the eighteenth-century moralist, David Hartley, located 10 “general passions of …


Reproductive Tract Infection—Lessons Learned From The Field: Where Do We Go From Here?, Jennifer Grant, Diana Measham Jan 1996

Reproductive Tract Infection—Lessons Learned From The Field: Where Do We Go From Here?, Jennifer Grant, Diana Measham

Reproductive Health

The Population Council convened a meeting about reproductive tract infections (RTIs) to examine how best to use available tools and information, learn about potential service delivery approaches, and examine the direction of research. The meeting began with an examination of what is known about the prevalence, distribution, determinants, characteristics, and consequences of RTIs, as well as the common elements of an intervention framework. General obstacles related to work in the area of RTIs include lack of awareness of the problem and the limited power of women in society. Priorities for future research and programming include: further research on the scope …


(1996) Pixie Meets The Pre-Socratics, Philip C. Guin Jan 1996

(1996) Pixie Meets The Pre-Socratics, Philip C. Guin

Collected Papers of Philip C. Guin

There is a relation between the development of early science and philosophy and the cognitive needs of children. Both operate with a paucity of experience, both are hypothetical and conjectural and both have the capacity for critical self-correction—the former in sensitivity to its tradition and the latter, insofar as children have access to a community of inquiry. Pixie, then, is an ideal forum for the introduction of science and philosophy in a manner similar to that in which it occurred in the Greek tradition, providing, along the way, the newness and freshness of discovery and invention.
