African-American Mitochondrial Dnas Often Match Mtdnas Found In Multiple African Ethnic Groups, Bert Ely, Jamie Lee Wilson, Fatimah Jackson, Bruce A. Jackson

Faculty Publications

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes have become popular tools for tracing maternal ancestry, and several companies offer this service to the general public. Numerous studies have demonstrated that human mtDNA haplotypes can be used with confidence to identify the continent where the haplotype originated. Ideally, mtDNA haplotypes could also be used to identify a particular country or ethnic group from which the maternal ancestor emanated. However, the geographic distribution of mtDNA haplotypes is greatly influenced by the movement of both individuals and population groups. Consequently, common mtDNA haplotypes are shared among multiple ethnic groups. We have studied the distribution of mtDNA …

St. George Tucker’S Second Amendment: Deconstructing ‘The True Palladium Of Liberty’, Stephen P. Halbrook

ExpressO

St. George Tucker, known as “America’s Blackstone” and author of the first commentary on the Constitution in 1803, described the Second Amendment right of the people to keep and bear arms as “the true palladium of liberty.” In a recent symposium at the William and Mary College of Law, Prof. Saul Cornell presented Tucker as an adherent of the view that the Amendment guarantees a collective or civic right to bear arms in the militia, not an individual right to have arms for self defense or as a dissuasion to tyranny. In response, my article scrutinizes Tucker’s work in detail …

The Spiritual Potential Of Poetry, Carl Schlueter

School of Theology and Seminary Graduate Papers/Theses

This paper presents poetry as a possible means of spiritual formation and transformation. Through the example of two poets, Seamus Heaney and Matsuo Basho, as well as two poetic devices, symbol and metaphor, poetry proves capable of radically engaging and converting both spiritual attention and action. In addition, the colloquial and connotative nature of poetic language renders poetry capable of expressing spiritual matters in a manner more quotidian and concrete. As a result, spiritual edification through poetry can offer a more affective and accessible alternative to the sometimes unaccommodating technical and abstract aspects of theological and philosophical prose.

Judgments About Cooperators And Freeriders On A Shuar Work Team: An Evolutionary Psychological Perspective, Michael E. Price

Department of Political Science: Hendricks Symposium

Evolutionary biological theories of group cooperation predict that (1) group members will tend to judge cooperative co-members favorably, and freeriding co-members negatively and (2) members who themselves cooperate more frequently will be especially likely to make these social judgments. An experiment tested these predictions among Shuar hunter-horticulturalists. Subjects viewed depictions of pairs of workers who varied in the extent to which they had contributed to, and benefited from, a team project. Subjects were then asked to judge which worker deserved more respect, and which deserved more punishment. When judging between unequalcontributors, all subjects tended to favor more cooperative (i.e., higher-contributing) …

La Mirada Del Otro En Los Dispositivos De Formación De Lenguas Extranjeras: Isomorfismos De La Política Lingüística Y La Mediación, Teresa Yurén, Cony Saenger

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The case of the bachelor degrees for French teachers in Mexico is analyzed in order to show how the ways of looking at the other and be looked by the other can impact the mediation types and the treatment of the cultural distances, which in turn rebounds in the appropriation of the foreign language, the configuration of the professional ethos and the acquisition of competences for self-formation. Qualitative data were obtained by means of interviews, observations and collection of documents and the work was done by combining structural analysis, representation analysis, analysis of identity, genealogy and political discourse analysis.

Evolutionary Model Of Racial Attitude Formation Socially Shared And Idiosyncratic Racial Attitudes, Thomas Craemer

Department of Political Science: Hendricks Symposium

A growing body of research in political science has uncovered evidence of a “split personality” among Americans when it comes to racial attitudes, whereby people express different attitudes in public than they personally hold. A common assumption is that people adjust their personal attitudes to conform to dominant social norms. At present, however, there is no theoretical model that could account for the emergence of racial norms that are at odds with people’s personal attitudes. This paper proposes a simple neural model of racial attitude formation that makes an important distinction between socially shared and idiosyncratic racial attitudes. Socially shared …

互文性与翻译, Xuanmin Luo

Lingnan Theses

互文性理论源于二十世纪六十年代，由法国文论家克里斯蒂瓦提出。根据这一理论，任何文本的生成都不是孤立封闭的，都与其它文本发生联系并产生 文本互涉。这一理论从根本上动摇了过去那种认为文本是独立自足的观点，揭开了文本研究的新篇章。近年来，国内有学者将互文性理论运用于中国文学批评和翻译研究，但这些讨论缺乏理论的深度和系统性。

本论文试图运用互文性理论建立一条互文性翻译研究的途经，以此指导翻译理论和实践。全文共分八章。第一章为导论，讨论了中国翻译界的互文性研究状况。第二章对西方不同流派的互文性理论进行了梳理；第三章上承孔孟、 陆机、刘勰，乃至王国维、钱钟书等，从中国的话语实践勾勒中国互文思想的 演变，补充了国人在该方面研究的不足。第四章探讨互文性的基本概念，以及这基本概念运用于翻译研究的可行性。第五、六章讨论显性互文性和成构互文性。前者指语篇的表层特征，手法有引用、模仿、糅杂、戏拟等；后者指过去 和现在的体裁、规范、类型甚至主题在阅读的文本中发生的相互指涉关系。在上述研究的基础上，第七章提出了互文性翻译的三个准则：关联准则、经济准则、中和准则。如果源语和目标语不能产生互文的关联，译文意图就会扭曲、 信度会大打折扣；互文性所携带的文化内涵决定了译文必须以简代繁、以约代冗，这样读者方可从阅读中感受文本的魅力；在众多的互文指涉中，译者通过认知分析来获取互文翻译的中和效果十分必要。第八章讨论了翻译的主体间性问题，通过大量英汉翻译实例分析来证明，能否做到语境化重构、达到互文的视阈融合、创造等效的互文特征是翻译成败的关键。

本文是第一部以汉语讨论互文性与翻译的博士论文，在英汉语翻译语料分析的基础上提出了互文性的基本理论和翻译实践的原则，希望对文学批评、语言研究、文化研究、翻译研究发挥积极的推动作用。

The Tales Television Tells: Understanding The Nomos Through Television, Kimberlianne Podlas

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

This Article argues that to understand the nomos we must study law and litigation as represented in pop culture, specifically, on television. We must acknowledge the power of legal pop culture, and then read, translate, and discern the meanings of its stories. Moreover, because the various pop cultural representations of law exert neither the same function nor force, we must also consider pop legal culture with an eye toward understanding the impact of these lexi-cultural texts. After synopsizing Cover's theory of nomos, this Article defines narrative and its critical role in understanding and institutionalizing law. Recognizing law's rich narrative regime, …
