Dick Whittington And Creativity: From Trade To Folklore, From Folklore To Trade, Susanna Frederick Fischer

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

In this essay, I consider whether such increased intellectual property protection for stories and folktales is the wisest policy course. While accepting the validity of the two major concerns that underpin the effort to implement greater intellectual property protection, I argue here that greater intellectual property protections risk serious harm to innovation and creativity by narrowing the public domain and are not the best means to achieve these desired ends. To make my argument, I will draw on the Dick Whittington story as both an example of a folktale in danger of overprotection by expanded intellectual property regimes and also …

Narrative Jurisprudence And Trans-National Justice, Ian Ward

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

The purpose of this article is to explore this consonance in greater detail, and then to present two more particular examples of this narrative and poethic "strategy." The first example is given by two attempts to provide some kind of juristic redress for the various atrocities suffered across southeast Europe during the successive Balkan wars of the 1990s. The second approaches the broader, and no less contemporary, experience of trans-national terrorism. In the first instance, the form of narrative, on both occasions, is that of a chronicle-a piece of extended journalism. In the second instance, the narrative is a more …

Imperfect Order: Reflections Of The Law In Two Classic Children’S Novels, Thomas C. Klein

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

Man-made law, or "positive" law, and its related legal institutions are represented in children's novels as complicated, sometimes corrupt, and often arbitrary structures that prevent the protagonists from reaching their desired goals or resolving their difficulties. Rather than presenting positive law and its related institutions as a means to resolve conflicts and provide repose to the characters, children's novels present such law and institutions as aggravating or prolonging conflict, and creating uncertainty about how the protagonist will extricate himself or herself from the legal predicament. Children's novels do not offer the child reader any known points of reference in the …

The Narrative Compels The Result, I.D.F. Callinan

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

Theory has it that the best evidence-that is to say, the best narrative- determines the result. This theory is rarely questioned. But, what determines the narrative? The capacity of litigants for self-justification is almost limitless. That is why independent witnesses are so important. They are innocent, it is said, of self-justification. True, but only partly true: what about their attentiveness at the time; their powers of observation; their desire for relevance, or importance, or even notoriety; their delight in their day in court; their recall and ability to understand the questions and to give an unexaggerated and accurate account of …

Unveiling The Commodified Landscape: Fixing The Tourist Gaze, Rachel Monk

Architecture Thesis Prep

"My intention is to provide a counterbalance to the shared delusion of a created environment; to relate the landscape and building as constructed commodities which represent place. The project will objectify the existing methods of commodification within the site utilizing methods of natural processes on the site, erosion, and architectural precedents."

Internet Accessibility And Usage Among Urban Adolescents In Southern California: Implications For Web-Based Health Research, C. Anderson Johnson, Ping Sun, Jennifer B. Unger, Paula Palmer, Peggy E. Gallaher, Chih-Ping Chou, Steve Sussman, Lourdes Baezconde-Garbanati

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

The World Wide Web (WWW) poses a distinct capability to offer interventions tailored to the individual’s characteristics. To fine tune the tailoring process, studies are needed to explore how Internet accessibility and usage are related to demographic, psychosocial, behavioral, and other health related characteristics. This study was based on a cross-sectional survey conducted on 2373 7th grade students of various ethnic groups in Southern California. Measures of Internet use included Internet use at school or at home, Email use, chat-room use, and Internet favoring. Logistic regressions were conducted to assess the associations between Internet uses with selected demographic, psychosocial, behavioral …

History And Society: Fact, Fiction And Reform In The Serbian Education System, Valerie Ullrich

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

History instruction is a means of disseminating political and cultural “truth” in societies all over the world. History occupies only a small space in the educational schemes that socialize and politicize children to their societies, but it could be argued that it plays a disproportionate role in these processes. In societies with contentious historical records and/or histories of conflict, it is particularly important to examine the role that history instruction does in fact play, as it can have positive or disastrous consequences over the long term. Serbian society provides one example of the potential effects of incomplete, politically influenced historical …

Parent And Student Voices On The First Year Of The Dc Opportunity Scholarship Program, Thomas Stewart, Patrick J. Wolf, Stephen Q. Cornman

School Choice Demonstration Project

In the 50 years since economist Milton Friedman published “The Role of Government in Education” scholars and policy makers have been debating how parental choice through market mechanisms can and does operate in education. Market “optimists” argue that education is a service that can be produced under a variety of arrangements and that parents are natural education consumers. Market “pessimists” argue that education is a public good that should be produced in government-run schools, and that school choice programs suffer “market failure” because only advantaged families will have the resources and experience to choose effectively.

Documenting Queer Community Histories: Whose History Is It?, Jessica Stern, Nicholas Ray

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

What does it mean to be a member of a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ) community? When did LGBTQ community history begin? Where do queer communities differ? How do we broach these questions to document communities' experiences? And significantly, why is it important to document the histories of those who are defined as LGBTQ?

The Failure Of The International Laws Of War And The Role Of Art And Story-Telling As A Self-Help Remedy For Restorative Justice, Susan Tiefenbrun

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

This Article asks several questions that seem particularly relevant in view of the current state of war that our peace-loving society is engaged in today. What is the role of the laws and customs of war if the warriors don't play by the rules? What is the role of art and music during and after the commission of atrocities? Can art prevent further atrocities, assuage victims of catastrophic events, inspire the collective conscience of perpetrators, and protect victims from the reality of pain caused by war and the violations of the international laws of armed combat? Can a book or …

When Literature Becomes Law: An Example From Ancient Greece, Mark J. Sundahl

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

After a brief introduction to Solon and the Testamentary Law in the next section, Part III of this paper will examine the origin of the phrase "under the influence of a woman" by tracing the evolution of the concept of the "persuasive woman" in the poems of Homer and Hesiod. Part IV will then show that the mythological models of the female enchantress contained in these poems gave rise to a cultural fear of the "persuasive woman" in Greece, which was reflected both in the Testamentary Law as well as in the courtroom speeches of classical Athens. The final part …

Stories Of The Code, Allen Kamp

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

My article is a story about the stories of the Uniform Commercial Code, those told by its drafters and its detractors, especially how it was sold to those it would affect and those who had the power to enact it or not. I think it is an interesting story that not only tells us something about the development of a commercial statute, but also gives insights into the values of the legal and the commercial world in the Twentieth Century.

Christian Creativity In A Post-Christian Ethos, Quentin Faulkner

Glenn Korff School of Music: Faculty Publications

The ideas I want to explore in this essay begin with the experience of some works of art that have recently been created for St. Mark’s-on-the-Campus Episcopal Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, the church of which I’m a member. All of the art you will experience has been created by active and faithful members of this church. Let me hasten to say that although I’ve been involved in various ways in fostering this art, I’m in no way responsible for it. That responsibility lies primarily with an insightful priest, Father Donald Hanway, who has vigorously championed the cause of the arts …

"Finis Origine Pendet” – Enhancing Later Learning And Professional Socialization Through An Introductory Dpt Course, Kyle P. Meyer, Patricia A. Hageman, Robert H. Fuchs, Amy E. Tyler, Gregory M. Karst

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Background and Purpose: In developing a new Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curriculum, the faculty at a mid-west academic health sciences center decided to introduce course content historically placed near the end of the program’s Master of Physical Therapy curriculum at the beginning of the DPT curriculum. The new DPT curriculum was constructed to promote the value of three central themes; 1) evidence-based practice and 2) patient-centered care, both of which contribute to 3) sound clinical decision making. Faculty theorized that by explicitly expressing these themes in a first semester, introductory course, students would acquire a much needed framework for …
