Knowledge And Love Of God In Ramanuja And Aquinas, Martin Ganeri

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

A major characteristic of Catholic Christian intellectual encounter with Hinduism in the 20th century is the meeting of Thomism and the Vedanta. Thomism is the tradition of Christian thought which is based on the work of the scholastic and Dominican friar, Thomas Aquinas and which was the norm for Catholic theological formation for most of the 20th century. A central concern in this encounter was to explore ways in which Vedanta could be used to express the Thomist Christian account in Hindu terms.

Forgiveness: Hindu And Western Perspectives, Alan Hunter

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

This paper compares Hindu and Christian beliefs on forgiveness: it argues that forgiveness is an important element within the Hindu religious world-view, even if less explicitly so than within the Christian tradition. Before the late 1980s, discussion of forgiveness in the West was for the most part confined to Christian communities, seldom reaching mainstream publications in other areas. The situation has now changed dramatically. Since the 1990s, scholars from different disciplines have written dozens of books and journal articles on forgiveness, which also featured in numerous popular essays, exhibitions, websites, and other media. There are four major areas for forgiveness …

Integral "Samnyasa"? Adi Shankaracharya And Liberation Hermeneutics, Reid B. Locklin

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Writing in the Women's Bible Commentary, Carolyn Osiek offers five conflicting interpretations of this controversial passage and its significance for women's liberation. At one end of the spectrum stand those who insist that the text "endorses an end to sexism of every kind," a difficult view to square with other statements of the apostle Paul. At another extreme stand those who ascribe it exclusively to a future transformation at the end of time, with no contemporary relevance.

Service Pays: Creating Opportunities By Linking College With Public Service, Ganesh Sitaraman, Elizabeth Warren, Sandy Baum

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

If college is to be the gateway to security and success, then a new financing mechanism is essential, one that lets students take responsibility for the cost of their own educations without burdening their families unduly, forcing them into career choices that push them out of public service, or mortgaging their futures. Our Service Pays proposal is designed to give every student who wants to work hard a means of paying for college - and to give young people an economically viable option to engage in public service for a few years after college. After describing the high costs of …

Welcome To Hazelton - Illegal Immigrants Beware, Karla M. Mckanders

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

On July 13, 2006, the city of Hazleton made national news as the first municipality in the country to pass ordinances against illegal immigrants. The majority of municipal legislation that passed regulated the employment of undocumented workers. The ordinances resulted from municipal perceptions that the federal government has failed to enact and enforce comprehensive immigration legislation. Thereafter, several states and municipalities across the country passed ordinances against illegal immigration. Since then, the federal courts have been inundated with lawsuits challenging the validity of municipal ordinances.

This article delves into the profound impact that municipal ordinances that sanction businesses for employing …

A Study Of Travel Behavior, Travel Preferences, And Subjective Well-Being Of Older Persons In Hong Kong, Ka Yan, Little Cheng

Lingnan Theses

Demographic ageing of the population is now well established in Hong Kong and, as elsewhere, is raising increasing concerns about the basic needs and the well-being of older persons. Older individuals vary considerably and may try to enhance their well-being in different ways by a range of leisure activities. The gradually improving financial and physical status suggests travel as a potential leisure activity which might enhance individual well-being and quality of life of older persons.

Previous research about travel has mainly involved marketing and sociological perspectives. The market research to date for investigating customer values of tourism and typologies of …

Race And Wealth Disparity: The Role Of Law And The Legal System, Beverly I. Moran, Stephanie M. Wildman

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Many believe that the legal system has achieved racial neutrality because statutes and regulations do not mention race. They do not view law and the legal system as one way that American society polices race and wealth disparities. Because American law seems removed from race and wealth concerns, legal workers see no place for such considerations in their education or practice.

Although the legal system has aspired to neutrality and equality, racialized wealth inequality has resulted and continues. This article considers the aspiration and shows how equality and neutrality can veil existing wealth inequality. Using examples from judicial decisionmaking and …

Federalism And Accountability, Timothy Meyer

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This article examines how one particular state institution, state attorneys general (SAGs), has operated within a unique set of institutional and political constraints to create state-based regulation with nationwide impact in policy areas including consumer protection, antitrust, environmental regulation, and securities regulation. This state-based regulation casts doubt on one of the principle rationales advanced in the Supreme Court's anticommandeering line of cases for limiting federal power; namely, that judicially-enforced limits on federal power enhance electoral accountability, a concept central to our democracy. If in the absence of federal regulation narrowly accountable state-based actors from a small number of states can …

Powerless Or Perilous? : Ageing Women As An Emerging Social Force In Hong Kong, Kit Ling Luk

Lingnan Theses

Ageing women have so often been represented in government policy rhetoric, gerontology literatures and journalistic discourse as the genderless, powerless and passive objects of welfare and services;, by and large, as a social problem that needs to be monitored and managed. Taking a cultural research approach, this thesis explores ageing women’s actual practices in Hong Kong social movements and aims to rerepresent ageing women as active social agents capable of generating multiple “tactical identities” enabling them to participate in and interact with an environment that poses concrete challenges to their participation.

In filling the gap between research on social movements …

改編與傳統道德 : 唐滌生戲曲研究 (1954-1959), So Yee, Suyi Chen

Lingnan Theses

唐滌生於一九五四至一九五九年間，多次改編古典文學作品，推敲增刪，把經典轉化為另一部經典。戲曲早已是中國文學中不能或缺的一部份，而粵劇作為戲曲文學的一員，當中亦不乏傳世佳作。適逢五、六十年代是香港粵劇的鼎盛之年，既造就唐滌生編劇之能，唐滌生也以劇作的文學價值成就粵劇。

本文以道德教化作討論軸心，探勘唐滌生如何改編古典名著。第一章導言， 先論改編作品的價值及釐清本文方向，繼而按劇分章論述其改編之法；第二章以主題的轉換探討唐滌生如何改編《牡丹亭》成《牡丹亭驚夢》；第三章是〈《琵 琶記》：天人不甚感應〉，研讀唐滌生對傳統理念的存疑及更動；第四章以敘事結構的改換閱讀《六月雪》；第五章：〈《帝女花》：隱含的忠孝精神〉，細察唐滌生如何透過寫作手法改寫文本，不動聲色地傳述忠孝精神；人物是劇作家的代言人，模塑兼具個性與感情的人物卻殊不容易，第六章即以此為題開展討論《香 囊記》；第七章以劇作討論的基礎重申改編的價值，並以肯定唐滌生作品的地位作結。

Remade In Hong Kong : How Hong Kong People Use Hong Kong Disneyland, Wing Yee, Kimburley Choi

Lingnan Theses

Recent studies of globalization provide contrasting views of the cultural and sociopolitical effects of such major corporations as Disney as they invest transnationally and circulate their offerings around the world. While some scholars emphasize the ubiquity of Disney’s products and its promotion of consumerism on a global scale, accompanied by cultural homogenization, faltering democracy, and diminishing state sovereignty, others highlight signs of contestation and resistance, questioning the various state-capitalist alliances presumed to hold in the encounter between a global company, a local state, and the people.

The settlement process and the cultural import of Hong Kong Disneyland in Hong Kong …

Alternative School Administrators And Teachers Perception Of Effective School Correlates In The Organizational Culture And Operation Of Alternative Schools, C.W. Gardenhire

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the study was to examine whether alternative schools incorporate effective school correlates in their organizational culture and operation as these same elements are typically identified in the traditional effective school research. A quantitative descriptive study method was selected to conduct the study. The sample consisted of administrators and teachers actively involved in alternative schools. Further the sample was geographically located in the Mid-South, specifically Arkansas, East Texas, Northern Louisiana, North West Mississippi, and Western Tennessee. The study concluded that effective school correlates — clear school mission, frequent monitoring of students, and instructional leadership — were perceived to …
