Homesteading On The Extraterrestrial Frontier, Carl Abbott Jul 2005

Homesteading On The Extraterrestrial Frontier, Carl Abbott

Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations

Many science fiction writers depend on the multiple narratives of the American West as templates for framing their understandings of the future. This essay examines the ways in which the western homesteading story has been adapted in fictions about future planetary settlement. It argues that the increasing complexity of these treatments reflects the deepening awareness of the ambiguities of the American homesteading experience and parallels many of the insights of the 'new western history.' Key texts discussed include Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, Robert Heinlein's Farmer in the Sky, Philip K. Dick's Martian Time-Slip, Kim Stanley Robinson's Blue Mars, Jonathan …

Whistler’S Fog And The Aesthetics Of Place, Bruce Janz Jul 2005

Whistler’S Fog And The Aesthetics Of Place, Bruce Janz

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

The concept of place has usually been understood as either a phenomenological, epistemological, or ethical category. An understanding of place as aesthetic or rhetorical, on the other hand, tends to focus on the widely varied uses of the concept. First, I sketch out the wide range of uses of place, that have been drawn from writings on the concept. These uses are not definitions of place, but rather functions that the term performs. Place stands in for other ideas, and allows access to different aspects of human experience. Second, I will draw from this range of uses some ideas about …

A New Agenda For The Cultural Study Of Law: Taking On The Technicalities, Annelise Riles Jul 2005

A New Agenda For The Cultural Study Of Law: Taking On The Technicalities, Annelise Riles

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This article urges humanistic legal studies to take the technical dimensions of law as a central focus of inquiry. Using archival and ethnographic investigations into developments in American Conflict of Laws doctrines as an example, and building on insights in the anthropology of knowledge and in science and technology studies that focus on technical practices in scientific and engineering domains, it aims to show that the technologies of law - an ideology that law is a tool and an accompanying technical aesthetic of legal knowledge - are far more central and far more interesting dimensions of legal practice than humanists …


Reconciling With The Past: John Willis And The Question Of Judicial Review In Inter-War And Post-War England, Peter Lindseth Jul 2005

Reconciling With The Past: John Willis And The Question Of Judicial Review In Inter-War And Post-War England, Peter Lindseth

Faculty Articles and Papers

This contribution was prepared for a conference at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in honor of John Willis, the late Anglo-Canadian administrative law theorist who died in 1997. It will appear in a symposium issue of the University of Toronto Law Journal, entitled Administrative Law Today: Culture, Ideas, Institutions, Processes, Values – Essays in Honour of John Willis. Throughout his career, John Willis puzzled over the way in which both popular and elite opinion in England (not to mention throughout the Commonwealth and in the United States) persistently, and in his view uncritically, equated the Rule of Law …

The Social Integration Of Latino Newcomer Students In Midwestern Elementary Schools: Teacher And Administrator Perceptions, Catherine Lasso, Nelson Soto Jul 2005

The Social Integration Of Latino Newcomer Students In Midwestern Elementary Schools: Teacher And Administrator Perceptions, Catherine Lasso, Nelson Soto

Essays in Education

Midwestern communities have experienced rapid influxes of Latino immigrants in recent years. Public schools in areas that were previously white and monolingual are now challenged to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population. There is a substantial body of research on the academic needs of Hispanic immigrants, especially in terms of English language instruction. However, little is known about how these newcomer children are adjusting socially at school. The purpose of this study is to explore teacher and administrator perceptions of Latino student social integration, which is conceptualized as how these children interact with their U.S. born peers …


A Politics Of Place: Reading The Signs At Walden Pond, Joy Ackerman Jul 2005

A Politics Of Place: Reading The Signs At Walden Pond, Joy Ackerman

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

Pilgrimage begins with a vision of place. Look down! The holy is here beneath your feet. The boundary of heaven and earth is not the distant horizon, ever out of reach. It shimmers on the surface of the water. As Thoreau ponders the sky reflected in Walden Pond, he sees the earth encompassed within the spiritual realm. The concept of ‘sacred geography’ also suggests such an embrace. Through the recognition of a pattern in the landscape or the orientation of a temple in the holy city, sacred geography claims that the landscape is a map of the divine order, the …
