An Integrated Curriculum For Music And Social Studies, Carol Jane Alldredge

All Graduate Projects

Music exists as a discipline that often enhances other subjects. An integrated curriculum can provide students with connections to the real world, greater depth of study, and can generate enthusiasm. Through integration, many boundaries can be crossed. The purpose of this project is to create an integrated curriculum for music and social studies for the fifth grade. The curriculum is for the period of the Renaissance and the American Revolution. Topics explored relate to the subject of integration. Guidelines from Washington State Commission on Student Learning as well as national standards for music and social studies are used as the …

Studying Your Enemy: Ethical Guidelines For Online Research, Todd J. Schroer

Iowa Journal of Communication

In the expanding field of studying computer-mediated interactions, the ethical implications of conducting research ming human subjects are an inherent issue. These ethical concerns are increased when the population under study is a relatively powerless, marginalized, and highly persecuted group. The ethical problems are further compounded when the researcher does not share in the world-view, or goals of the research subjects. Since 1992, I have med computers to monitor, contact, and interview White Racialists {sic} in order to combat their efforts. However, this does not relieve me of my ethical obligations as a sociologist: to protect my subjects, to fully …

Staging The Tyrant On The Seventeenth-Century French Stage, Nina Ekstein

Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research

The tyrant is a frequent figure of seventeenth-century theater. While not as ubiquitous as young lovers, fathers, or kings, the tyrant is a persistent subset of this last group throughout the period. Like so many elements of seventeenth-century theater, the tyrant has it origins in antiquity, both in terms of political theory and drama. Tyrants first appeared on the stage of fifth-century Athens, and the legends and histories of the tyrants of antiquity are often repeated on the French stage of the seventeenth century, from Hérode sending Marianne to her death, to Brute assassinating César, to Néron eliminating his rival …

Histoire Et Fiction Dans Léon L'Africain D'Amin Maalouf, Najib Redouane

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

La littérature, comme dit Louis Dubrau, c'est «ce qui permet de se venger de la réalité en l'asservissant à la fiction». C'est justement le cas d'Amin Maalouf qui, dans Léon l'Africain, est parti d'une histoire vraie pour réaliser une autobiographie imaginaire. L'article qui suit cherche à examiner comment l'écrivain a pu réaliser, à partir d'une relation historique entièrement authentifiée par des instances extralittéraires, une œuvre qui n'a d'existence que littéraire. En d'autres termes, comment il a réussi à rester maître du jeu narratif pour faire de l'écriture de l'Histoire une fiction romanesque.

Vodoun Et Littérature Au Bénin, Guy Ossito Midiohouan

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Comme chez tous les peuples africains, la vie des peuples du Bénin en général est très fortement marquée par le sens du sacré. Cette réalité se traduit, dans le sud du pays, plus précisément dans l'aire aja qui comprend le Gun, les Fon, les Toli, les Ayizo, les Xwada, les Xwla ou Popos, les Aja eux-mêmes, les Waci et les Gen, par l'omniprésence des manifestations de la culture de ces peuples. Il va donc de soi que leur littérature en donne des représentations dont la présente étude se propose de saisir les contours et les variations.

Réinvention De Perpétue Dans Tanga : De Mongo Beti À Calixthe Beyala Ou Les Tracées D'Une Tradition Littéraire Camerounaise, Cilas Kemedjio

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

La stature intellectuelle et littéraire de Mongo Beti fait de lui le contrepoint à partir duquel la notion même d'une tradtion littéraire camerounaise devient possible. L'émergence de Calixthe Beyala, écrivaine de la post-indépendance, permet de définir le réseau intertextuel qui donne cohérence aux tracées littéraires camerounaises. La ville cruelle et la tragique condition féminine sont les références qui traversent toute la littérature camerounaise, signalant l'identité irréductible de chaque écrivain, mais posant aussi les jalons d'un espace littéraire camerounais.

Alas, Poor Ghost!, Gillian Bennett

All USU Press Publications

In the rational modern world, belief in the supernatural seemingly has been consigned to the worlds of entertainment and fantasy. Yet belief in other worldly phenomena, from poltergeists to telepathy, remains strong, as Gillian Bennett's research shows. Especially common is belief in continuing contact with, or the continuing presence of, dead family members. Bennett interviewed women in Manchester, England, asking them questions about ghosts and other aspects of the supernatural. (Her discussion of how her research methods and interview techniques evolved is in itself valuable.) She first published the results of the study in the well-received Traditions of Belief: Women …

Sexuality And Textuality (Fall 1999) (Whitman College), Robert D. Tobin

Syllabi

This course was taught by Robert Tobin at Whitman College. Professor Tobin worked at Whitman for 18 years as associate dean of the faculty and chair of the humanities, and was named Cushing Eells Professor of the Humanities. Several of the courses he developed at Whitman would make the transition to Clark, where they continued to evolve.

"Sexuality and Textuality seeks to examine the ways in which sexuality has an effect upon literary texts. It questions whether an author's sexuality affects their writing, whether a reader's sexuality affects their reading, and to what extent one can analyze the sexuality of …

Customizable And Ontology-Enhanced Medical Information Retrieval Interfaces, Gondy Leroy, K.M. Tolle, Hsinchun Chen

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

This paper describes the development and testing of the Medical Concept Mapper as an aid to providing synonyms and semantically related concepts to improve searching. All terms are related to the userquery and fit into the query context. The system is unique because its five components combine humancreated and computer-generated elements. The Arizona Noun Phraser extracts phrases from natural language user queries. WordNet and the UMLS Metathesaurus provide synonyms. The Arizona Concept Space generates conceptually related terms. Semantic relationships between queries and concepts are established using the UMLS Semantic Net. Two user studies conducted to evaluate the system are described.

Chiasmus Bibliography, John W. Welch, Daniel B. Mckinlay

Maxwell Institute Publications

Introduction

John W. Welch

In 1978, my colleagues and I completed our work on Chiasmus in Antiquity, which was published in 1981 by Gerstenberg Verlag in Hildesheim, Germany. That volume contained a bibliography generated mainly by Robert F. Smith. Over the past two decades, I have continued to collect bibliographical information on numerous books and articles that either speak about or make use of chiasmus. Those additional sources have been included here, expanding the earlier bibliography, in an effort to be as comprehensive as possible. These items are presented alphabetically by author, and again in four main categories. Brief annotations …

Romans 1: Notes And Reflections, James E. Faulconer

Maxwell Institute Publications

The book of Romans can be difficult to understand, and it is used more than any other biblical book to challenge LDS doctrine. “When we understand Romans, it is obvious that not only need we not fear having others discuss Paul’s teachings, but we can use those very teachings to teach the truthfulness of the gospel understood through latter-day revelation.”

In commenting on Romans 1 verse by verse, author James E. Faulconer touches on such topics as faith, holiness, obedience, service to Christ, personal conversion and repentance, and becoming true saints. Romans 1: Notes and Reflections can be a valuable …

King Benjamin's Speech Made Simple, John W. Welch, Stephen D. Ricks

Maxwell Institute Publications

The speech of King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon is a masterpiece of Christian literature. These inspired words influenced later Book of Mormon prophets for generations, and they continue to reach across time to stir countless people today. King Benjamin’s Speech Made Simple is a popular abridgment of the expansive volume King Benjamin’s Speech: “That Ye May Learn Wisdom.” Prepared with the general reader in mind, this streamlined version presents the essential contents of the original book. Eleven studies examine the classic speech from many angles, viewing it as a manual for Christian discipleship, a coronation and covenant-renewal text, …
