Ethics And Contemporary American Literature: Revisiting The Controversy Over John Gardner's On Moral Fiction, Marilyn Edelstein Jan 1996

Ethics And Contemporary American Literature: Revisiting The Controversy Over John Gardner's On Moral Fiction, Marilyn Edelstein

English

In 1978, the novelist John Gardner published a rather slender treatise called On Moral Fiction in which he claimed that true art must be moral, that little art being produced then was moral and, therefore, that most of his contemporaries were either bad artists or not artists at all.1 It is difficult to recall a book about literature and/or ethics-at least one written by a novelist or poet rather than, say, by William Bennett-that has been received with so much hostility, especially among other writers and artists. Was the hostile response deserved, or is there, beneath the polemics and diatribes, …


Introduction To Through A Glass Darkly: Essays In The Religious Imagination, John C. Hawley Jan 1996

Introduction To Through A Glass Darkly: Essays In The Religious Imagination, John C. Hawley

English

The question that so disturbed Christ's contemporaries resonates even now: "Who do you say that I am?" (Matt. 16 : 15). Paradoxically, the answers his disciples boldly or clumsily offer seem to define them far more clearly than describe their teacher. The New Testament stands as a record of their subsequent obsession with the question, with what they remember their answers to have been, and with how this radically creative interrogation ordered their remaining years. Throughout the centuries their own disciples, variously aided and obstructed by these confessions, used the question as a litmus test not only in their prayer …


The Re Racination Of Driss Chraïbi: A Hajj In Search Of Mecca, John C. Hawley Jan 1996

The Re Racination Of Driss Chraïbi: A Hajj In Search Of Mecca, John C. Hawley

English

In his Introduction to Faces ef Islam, Kenneth Harrow refers to Clifford Geertz's elaboration of three forms of lslam that he observed in Morocco.The first was based upon a cultic veneration of dead saints and those in a patrilinear descent (the "siyyid complex"); the second was centered around individual holy men, marabou ts, and their set of practices (the" zawiya complex"); and the third was focused on the "royal assumption of sacred power assured through descent in the Prophet's line" (Harrow 1991, 6).This last form Geertz called the "maxzen complex" (Geertz 1968, 49-53).While it can be reasonably argued that Driss …

Estimating Interregional Price Indexes: Opportunities And Pitfalls, Laura A. Blanciforti Jan 1996

Estimating Interregional Price Indexes: Opportunities And Pitfalls, Laura A. Blanciforti

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

Many economists recognize the importance of accounting for retail price variation when comparing standards of living between geographic areas. Such indexes are used to allocate education funds, for calculating income transfers, and in relocation decisions. Currently, public policy shows a trend toward giving states more control over the distribution of federal monies through block grant programs. However, many states do not have a system for measuring price variations and use the US CPI or an index for a major city within their state to estimate cost of living variation within a state. They do not account for the tastes and …


Local Economic Developers’ Preferences For Industrial Recruitment: A Contingent Valuation Approach, Beth Loy, Scott Loveridge Jan 1996

Local Economic Developers’ Preferences For Industrial Recruitment: A Contingent Valuation Approach, Beth Loy, Scott Loveridge

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

Several arguments in the local economic development policy literature criticize practitioners for their continuing reliance on industrial recruitment, sometimes referred to as smokestack chasing. Why might practitioners rationally prefer this method over other available techniques? One theory is that practitioners face pressure to accomplish something within a short time frame, resulting in a high discount rate for economic development projects. A survey of local economic development practitioners using the contingent valuation technique supports the theory, finding that developers' discount rate is roughly 20%. The survey tests other theories as well.


Estimating Bank Lending Risk And Its Effect On Asset Allocation, David J. Sorenson Jan 1996

Estimating Bank Lending Risk And Its Effect On Asset Allocation, David J. Sorenson

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

The amount of risk that banks assume in lending is a key consideration in the amount of lending that banks ultimately will do. The relationship between default risk and lending levels is addressed here by deriving risk measures based on local economic industry mixes and locational characteristics of bank groups and then testing the degree to which differences in risk in local lending markets affect the asset allocation decisions of banks. FDIC call report data for West Virginia banks are combined with quarterly sectoral failure rate data and earnings data by sectors for the analysis.


Industry Structure And Earnings Growth During National Business Cycles In Appalachia, F. Carson Mencken Jan 1996

Industry Structure And Earnings Growth During National Business Cycles In Appalachia, F. Carson Mencken

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

Appalachia is a region that has undergone notable socio-economic change over the last twenty years. This change has produced communities of socio-economic “winners” and “losers.” In this paper, I attempt to understand why some communities 'won'and others 'lost'during this period using an analysis informed by two key sociological theories at the opposite end of the structure-agency continuum (new urban sociology, human ecology). The analysis combines shift-share analysis and the Land-Deane two-stage least squares technique for spatial effects to predict earnings change related to local industry mix and county effects for the following business cycles: 1980-82 recession, 1983-88 recovery, 1989-92 recession. …


External Ownership And Bank Lending Behavior: Empirical Evidence Using Control Group Methods, Andrew Isserman, Kimberly Dinjar Mencken Jan 1996

External Ownership And Bank Lending Behavior: Empirical Evidence Using Control Group Methods, Andrew Isserman, Kimberly Dinjar Mencken

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

As banking systems have become more integrated on both the international and national scales, banks in peripheral regions have been purchased by larger banks headquartered outside those regions. These externally controlled banks allegedly siphon funds from the regions by taking deposits but curtailing their lending activity. Such a practice would retard regional economic development efforts by making it more difficult for local businesses and residents to obtain commercial and industrial loans.


Interactive Techniques And Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis, Luc Anselin Jan 1996

Interactive Techniques And Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis, Luc Anselin

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

This chapter reviews the ideas behind interactive and exploratory spatial data analysis and their relation to GIS. Three important aspects are considered. First, an overview is presented of the principles behind interactive spatial data analysis, based on insights from the use of dynamic graphics in statistics and their extension to spatial data. This is followed by a review of spatialised exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques, that is, ways in which a spatial representation can be given to standard EDA tools by associating them with particular locations or spatial subsets of the data. The third aspect covers the main ideas behind …


Is More Planning Better? An Exploration Of Planning Expenditure In Florida, Emily Talen Jan 1996

Is More Planning Better? An Exploration Of Planning Expenditure In Florida, Emily Talen

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

Recently, planning theorists have stressed the need to understand more fully the realities of planning, fueled by the fact that the planning community has little empirical knowledge about its effects. There currently exist very few studies which attempt to quantitatively assess the broader socioeconomic corollaries of planning activity. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate one approach to understanding these corollaries by attempting to link planning activity (the "input") with various community or countrywide characteristics (the "output"). The paper uses exploratory data analysis to investigate the relationship between planning expenditure, as a measure of planning activity, and a variety …


Attention In Direct And Indirect Memory Tasks With Short- And Long-Term Probes, Ronald Thomas Kellogg, Christopher Newcombe, Darren Kammer, Katherine Schmitt Jan 1996

Attention In Direct And Indirect Memory Tasks With Short- And Long-Term Probes, Ronald Thomas Kellogg, Christopher Newcombe, Darren Kammer, Katherine Schmitt

Psychological Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

In two experiments, college students verified the answers to addition problems as their primary task while simultaneously viewing a word or nonword. The degree of attention allocated to the verbal stimulus varied depending on the difficulty of the problem and the instructions given. After each problem, a test probe assessed either a direct test of recognition memory or an indirect test of repetition priming in lexical decision at lags of 0, 1, or 8 intervening trials. The degree of attention at encoding and lag strongly affected recognition sensitivity (d′), but only lag affected recognition latencies. The repetition-priming effect neither declined …


Enlightening The Religion Clauses, Suzanna Sherry Jan 1996

Enlightening The Religion Clauses, Suzanna Sherry

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

I have argued that the government may not single out any irrational beliefs for preferential treatment, nor is it required to treat alternative epistemologies as favorably as Enlightenment rationality. Both history and practical considerations support the notion that the Constitution rejects epistemological pluralism in favor of the primacy of reason. There is no evidence that the religion clauses are an exception to this basic principle; indeed, for the founding generation, pre-Enlightenment religion was the primary--and perhaps the only---example of a nonrational epistemology. If we allow government decisions to be made on the basis of, or influenced by, premises and conclusions …
