Marginalia And Meaning: Off-Site/Sight/Cite Points Of Reference For Extended Trajectories In Learning, James Haywood Rolling Jr.

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

This study argues that drawing upon off-site/ sight/ cite points of reference affords a space for extended trajectories of learning and the cultivation of rich and atypical personal meaning unavailable within the terrain and climes of typical schooling frameworks. This paper continues the author's effort to establish the efficacy of a poststructural and poetic aesthetic in qualitative research writing.

Precinct, Gayle Gorman

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

"Precinct" was a site-specific art project/ performance/ exhibit put on by SITE: Buffalo Artist Collective, an organization devoted to a nontraditional approach to art emphasizing the experiential and the value of spectered memories contained in found objects and images. With the aid of the Buffalo Arts Commission, the abandoned police precinct (now destroyed) on Niagara Street on Buffalo's West side was open to the public, occupied and interacted with for a one-day event. This venue was specifically selected in order to bypass the gallerycentric mode of display which tends to dominate the world of art. By doing so, SITE made …

Grasping The Site/Sight/Cite Of The Image: A Lacanian Explication, Jan Jagodzinski

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Reading images psychoanalytically from a Lacanian perspective has its challenges. The first task of this essay is to provide a way through what is often taken to be difficult and impenetrable theory, to explicate how the homology site/ sight/ cite can be understood in any act of critical perception. Its second task is to make distinctions between a psychoanalytic understanding of the subject as being 'split' or divided (as represented by the matheme '$,' Lacan's symbol for this form of subjectivity) when applied to art, as opposed to a naive realist subject of representation or a savvy poststructuralist (decentered) subject …

Lions And Tigers And Bears, Oh My Or Redskins And Braves And Indians, Oh Why: Ruminations On Mcbride V. Utah State Tax Commission, Political Correctness And The Reasonable Person, André Douglas Pond Cummings

Law Faculty Scholarship

American Indian mascots have been used by High Schools, Colleges and Professional sports teams for decades. Such use of monikers and mascots that depict Native American images and stereotypes have come under intense criticism in the past decade. Despite the outcry, a few professional sports teams and major Division I institutions continue to stubbornly persist in using derogatory and offensive nicknames and stereotypes for their athletic competitors.

This article urges those stubborn institutions and professional sports teams to reconsider the use of names and monikers that demean and disparage. By reconsidering the reasonable person standard, examining recent caselaw, and discussing …

E-Learning 2.0: New Frontier For Student Empowerment, William Renner

EDU-COM International Conference

Second generation web applications (Web 2.0) are transforming elearning and opening new frontiers for learner empowerment, control and engagement. New online technologies allow individuals to filter and control existing content (aggregation), easily create new content (personal publishing) and rapidly communicate, inform and distribute this information with peers through online social networking services. Learners are able to construct highly personalized learning environments, assembled from a very large range of tools available on the internet, including blogs, wikis, podcasts and social bookmarking sites. Together the technical and social advances which characterize this change may even constitute a paradigm shift, which some authors …

Social Productivity, Law, And The Regulation Of Conflicts Of Interest In The Investment Industry, Larry D. Barnett

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article introduces the concept of "social productivity," a sociological framework analyzing how organized groups influence society through their actions and policies. It distinguishes social productivity from economic productivity by focusing on social outputs like reputation, symbols, trust, and behavioral standards, which can enhance or diminish societal well-being. The article argues that law plays a critical role in mitigating harm and restoring trust by regulating behavior and reflecting societal values. It advocates for considering social productivity in policy and legal frameworks to foster a stable society, emphasizing the non-economic impacts of group actions on the social fabric.

Cognitive Engineering Research Methodology: A Proposed Study Of Visualization Analysis Techniques, Cristin M. Hall, Sonya A.H. Mcmullen, David L. Hall

Publications

The rapid development of new sensors and wide-band communications provides the capability to collect enormous amounts of data. An increasing challenge involves how to understand and interpret the data to yield knowledge about evolving situations or threats (e.g., of military situations, state of complex systems, etc.). New visualization tools and techniques are becoming available to support advanced visualization including three-dimensional, full immersion display environments and tools to support novel visualizations. Examples include network system display tools and evolving multi-sensory situation environments. Despite the emergence of such tools, there has been limited systematic test and evaluations to determine the efficacy of …

Lawless World - The Bush Administration And Iraq: Issues Of International Legality And Criminality, Philippe Sands

UC Law SF International Law Review

Sixty years ago, the United States and Great Britain spearheaded efforts to create a new world order based on international rules. Today these same two nations are leading the charge to abandon many of the global safeguards they once fought to establish. The Bush Administration has decided to turn its back on international agreements governing basic human rights, war, torture, and the environment. In this transcript from the Schlesinger Lecture held in November 2005, Professor Sands discusses how international rules are arbitrarily applied as human rights prove to be inconvenient in the face of globalizing economic forces.

Protecting Families In A Global Economy, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt, Carmen Brun

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

The globalization of the economy has placed tremendous pressure on the modern family. Throughout the developed world, marriage rates are declining, birth and fertility rates are falling, real wages are flat or declining, and hours of family external labor supplied are rising. Finding a spouse and raising children can be inconsistent with the demands of careers in the global economy of the new information age. Globalization of the economy tends to encourage individualism and mobility, in direct opposition to family relationships. Moreover; the extensive period of training that is necessary to compete in the global economy interferes with marriage and …

Institutional And Individual Justification In Legal Ethics: The Problem Of Client Selection, W. Bradley Wendel

Hofstra Law Review

Monroe Freedman is well known as a proponent of the "standard conception" of legal ethics - that is, that a lawyer cannot be criticized in moral terms for actions taken in a representative capacity. Surprisingly, however, Freedman has argued that client selection is a decision for which a lawyer may be required to provide a justification in ordinary moral terms. This apparent inconsistency reveals a conceptual distinction in normative ethical theory, which is often blurred, between justifying a practice (in this case, the legal system or some specialized practice such as criminal defense) and justifying an action falling within the …

Power As A Factor In Lawyers' Ethical Deliberation, Susan D. Carle

Hofstra Law Review

A fundamental disagreement among legal ethics scholars concerns the difference between client-centered and justice-centered approaches to lawyers' ethical obligations. Advocates of client-centered approaches put lawyers' duty to the client first. Justice-centered theorists critique the elevation of the client's interests over other important concerns lawyers affect through the work they do on behalf of clients. Scholars who adopt justice-centered approaches argue that lawyers' ethical obligations should be analyzed with a paramount focus on achieving justice.

Legal ethicists often view these two approaches as inconsistent with each other, but I argue in this Article that they are not necessarily so. Building on …

Is It Sexual Harassment Or Not - The Single Incident Exception, John C. Ayres

Missouri Law Review

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace. In a 2004 case of first impression, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals looked at an employer's affirmative defense against a hostile work environment claim involving a single incident of sexual harassment committed by a supervisor. The Eighth Circuit modified the test handed down by the Supreme Court in this situation. After outlining the historical background and rationale for imposing liability on employers for the actions of their supervisors, this Note will explore the logic behind the Eighth Circuit's interpretation of the Supreme Court test …

Toward Healing And Restoration For All: Reframing Medical Malpractice Reform, Jonathan Todres

Faculty Publications By Year

The medical malpractice liability system is blamed for everything from the high cost of health care to quality assurance issues. This Article suggests that that one of the problems with the current approach to medical malpractice is that legal remedies for medical error are not viewed as part of the continuum of care. Thus, a new model - driven by the principle of care and the goal of healing - is needed to address medical errors more effectively. Building from these core principles of care and healing, the author develops a new healing-centered framework which provides a better assessment of …

Through The Window: The Subject And The Voyeur's Gaze Within Cinema And Video, James A. Doohan

Theses : Honours

The underlying theme of this thesis is that cinema and related media create sites in which the viewer becomes a kind of voyeur, and in doing so normalises the voyeuristic gaze. Relationships between those who possess the gaze and those who become the object of that gaze are structured both ideologically and through the apparatus of the camera itself. These ideologies are arguably driven by a patriarchal paradigm, particularly within mainstream cinema where men appear to control the gaze and women are positioned as the object of that gaze. Even within cinema however that appears to be explicitly misogynistic like …

Introduction: Comparative Ethics And The Crucible Of War, G. Scott Davis

Religious Studies Faculty Publications

Michael Howard takes the title of his recent essay, The Invention of Peace, from the nineteenth-century jurist and historian of comparative law Henry Maine, who wrote that "war appears to be as old as mankind, but peace is a modem invention."' We moderns tend to assume that the great wars of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were aberrant eruptions marring the peaceful status quo, but the opposite better describes the long view. Outside the Garden of Eden, human communities have always been involved in political conflict and that conflict has regularly escalated to the use of lethal force, both …
