Sex In The City Of God, Diana Macalintal Jan 2006

Sex In The City Of God, Diana Macalintal

School of Theology and Seminary Graduate Papers/Theses

The Church does not canonize saints; it canonizes causes, lifestyles, and attitudes. This is increasingly evident in the causes for lay people, especially married couples. Although it has made recent strides toward a more balanced theology of sexuality, the Catholic Church will not be comfortable canonizing happily married, sexually active couples until Mary is valued as a disciple and not exclusively as a virgin. Through an examination and evaluation of the explicit and implicit theology of sexuality as found in Scripture, Church teaching, and the canonization process, this paper will propose a new theology of sexuality based on a re-visioning …

Newfound Religion: Mothers, God, And Infanticide, Susan Ayres Jan 2006

Newfound Religion: Mothers, God, And Infanticide, Susan Ayres

Faculty Scholarship

This essay focuses on cultural constructions of infanticide and psychosis, especially cases in which the mother heard delusional commands to kill her children. Part I examines the background of the Yates, Laney, and Diaz cases. Part II explores whether these mothers can be seen paradoxically as feminist subjects of empowerment rather than as victims. This essay argues that psychotic mothers have been disempowered and silenced, so their acts cannot be seen as subversive feminist gestures. Part III, however, arguest that the legal trials of Laney and Diaz demonstrate a possible subversion through trial strategy. These two trials more fully told …

Spears For Hire: The Utilization And Motivations Of Greek Mercenaries In The Archaic And Classical Ages., Stephen Kyle Tadlock Jan 2006

Spears For Hire: The Utilization And Motivations Of Greek Mercenaries In The Archaic And Classical Ages., Stephen Kyle Tadlock

Honors Theses

Greek mercenaries were widespread in the Mediterranean in the Archaic and Classical periods. This thesis examines the mercenaries themselves and the kingdoms that employed them in order to discover both why mercenaries turned to the service and why rulers hired them. The focus is primarily on Greek hoplites serving in the kingdoms of Persia and Egypt, although other mercenaries and other employers are also considered. Most of the sources used in this study were Greek literary works in translation, although some use was made of archaeological, epigraphical and rhetorical evidence. The ancient sources used were chosen based upon previous readings …

Studies Of Pyrene Fluorescence In Pressed Zeolite Discs, Keith Perry Russell Jan 2006

Studies Of Pyrene Fluorescence In Pressed Zeolite Discs, Keith Perry Russell

Honors Theses

Zeolites are naturally found crystalline alumnosilicates which are used extensively in catalysis, ion-exchange, and molecular sieving applications. The structure of the zeolites of interest consists of tetraheda that are arranged to form sodalite and supercage structures. Pyrene is able to enter the supercages of the zeolite by adsorption from non-polar solvents, exhibits characteristic fluorescence emission when excited using uv light at 337 nm. In this study, the sodium ion exchanged forms of zeolites X and Y, synthetic analogues of naturally occurring faujacite mineral, were used. The purpose of this study was to determine what effects would be seen in discs …

Country Is…The Portrayal Of Southern Culture In Country Music, Allison Ann Worley Jan 2006

Country Is…The Portrayal Of Southern Culture In Country Music, Allison Ann Worley

Honors Theses

This thesis explores the Image of the South and Its culture that Is presented to the public through country music, primarily contemporary, popular country music. The lyrics of several songs were analyzed to determine how they represent the South and its people. Songs were chosen based on their message, with a great deal of consideration being given to the popularity of each song. The thesis argues that country music presents a more positive South than most other media interpretations of the culture. That portrayal is quite complex, with often contradictory Ideas being contained within the various songs. As a whole, …

Ils En Ont Parle, Mary Elizabeth Roe Jan 2006

Ils En Ont Parle, Mary Elizabeth Roe

Honors Theses

The Dreyfus Affair, which began in 1894. was not only a political clash. It also engulfed the social and cultural worlds of France during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From the highest politician to the average French citizen, people from ever}' background were aware of the Dreyfus Affair and its implications for France. This Affair divided the people of France in every way possible and impressed itself upon every walk of French life for over a decade. With the aid of modem mass media, the Affair spread to every corner of France. By causing divisions in its cultural, social, and …

Ecocritism And The Renaissance: A Study In Shakespeare And More, Melissa Levert Smith Jan 2006

Ecocritism And The Renaissance: A Study In Shakespeare And More, Melissa Levert Smith

Honors Theses

This study draws on ideas from the emerging field of literary criticism known as ecocriticism and extends its basic assumptions back to the Renaissance works of Thomas More and William Shakespeare. The research therefore includes primary Renaissance texts, current ecocritical works, and selections from the twentieth-century criticism from which ecocriticism developed. I investigate in detail More’s Utopia and Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and King Lear. The study takes into account the disparity between Renaissance attitudes towards the environment and current concerns about pollution and scarcity of resources, but I suggest that the questions asked by ecocritical scholars today, when …

Collaboration: Paradigm Of The Digital Cultural Content Environment, Anne Cuyler Salsich Jan 2006

Collaboration: Paradigm Of The Digital Cultural Content Environment, Anne Cuyler Salsich

Works by Oberlin College Libraries Staff

Government grant-funding agencies have spawned an explosion of images from historical collections on the Internet. They have encouraged collaborative projects in which institutions share resources for capital-intensive digitization projects. These Web ‘exhibits’ are neither publications nor exhibits in the traditional sense, most often without identified authors, curators, designers, or sources. Reviews in journal literature are one mechanism for accountability, but not all humanities journals offer exhibit reviews. In those that do, the space allocated in history and archival studies journals reveals the relative importance they place on peer review of these exhibits, compared with that for book reviews. The type …

Improving The Construction And Litigation Resolution Process: The 2005 Amendments To The Washington Condominium Act Are A Win-Win For Homeowners And Developers, Mark F. O'Donnell, David E. Chawes Jan 2006

Improving The Construction And Litigation Resolution Process: The 2005 Amendments To The Washington Condominium Act Are A Win-Win For Homeowners And Developers, Mark F. O'Donnell, David E. Chawes

Seattle University Law Review

On August 1, 2005, significant amendments to the Washington Condominium Act (WCA) became effective. These amendments were intended to substantially reduce water infiltration in multiunit residential buildings and to simplify the condominium construction dispute resolution process. The heart of the amendments is the implementation of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures, as well as fee-shiftingprovisions which require the non-prevailing party to pay the attorney fees and costs of the prevailing party. A decade of lawsuits brought under the WCA by condominium owners associations against builders and developers, and in turn by builders against subcontractors, alleging defects in the ability of the …
