Unproductive Bodies: A Materialist Critique Of The "Corporeal Turn", Paula Cerni

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

Contemporary theory tends to neglect the human body's role in the production of material objects. This neglect is most glaring in constructionist approaches, whose post-structuralist view of the social as discursive practice necessarily downgrades the practical relations between humans and their physical environment. Arthur Frank, for example, formulates a typology - partly derived from Bryan Turner's theory of 'bodily order' - according to which the body acts in four ways: as a disciplined, dominating, mirroring and communicative body (Frank, 1991; Turner, 1984). None of these four modes of action involve the body acting practically on the wider material …

Graphic Travelogues And The Revival Of A 'Rotting Form': Peter Carey's Wrong About Japan And Guy Delisle’S Pyongyang: A Journey In North Korea, Gene Mcquillan

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

One need not be a malicious critic to be curious about an insulting review. One day while browsing on-line for new travel books, I came across the following statement by Ian Sansom:

In his remarkable book The Art of Travel (1855) Charles Darwin's cousin Francis Galton noted that "In Napoleon's retreat, after his campaign in Russia, many a soldier saved or prolonged his life by creeping within the warm and reeking carcase of a horse that had died by the way." These days, Peter Carey does much the same with travel writing, snuggling up inside a rotting form …

Theme Park Reconstructed [English] (Photo Essay), Tanya Ury

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[Subheading]

Including the photo series Theme Park (51 photos) 2005-06

[First paragraph]

Prora near Sassnitz, is part of a small holiday resort, Ostseebad Binz on the Prora Wiek, one of the bays on the Island of Ruegen, north Germany. Only a few kilometres of sandy beach separate them. The one, practically uninhabited, is a ghost town that is nevertheless visited by 250,000 sightseers each year because of its historical importance; the other is a tourist paradise, swarming with people, mainly in summer.

From Postmodernism To Post-Tradition: The End Of Theory In The Age Of Global Conservatism, Said Graiouid

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

This paper explores possible routes of reflecting on non-Western forms of social organization. Taking Morocco as its central site of study, the paper argues that fixed conceptual interpretations cannot provide a constructive understanding of a societal organization in a state of flux. The geographical position of Morocco at the tip of the Mediterranean rim and the country's geopolitical role as a mediator between the West and the Orient create a push and pull social dynamics which has generated conflicts, contradictions but also openings and possibilities. The paper proposes the concept "post-tradition" as a possible theoretical and methodological framework within and …

Seven Perceptions Influencing Novice Teachers’ Efficacy And Cultural Competence, Nancy P. Gallavan

Journal of Praxis in Multicultural Education

Novice teachers believe and behave according to perceptions about teaching, learning, and schooling they formed during childhood and adult experiences with families, classrooms, communities, media, and teacher education programs. Perceptions build funds of knowledge shaping teacher efficacy that influence their development of cultural competence–the processes of acquiring, accepting, and applying requisite knowledge, skills, and dispositions for ensuring educational equity and excellence for all learners. Through their words, actions, and interactions, novice teachers socially reproduce their interpretations of perceptions influencing their cultural competence visible through their generational perpetuation of practice. Survey research with novice teachers reveals the importance of their critical …

Is Inclusion Beneficial In The General Educational Classroom?, Stephanie Schubmehl

Education Masters

There are many different types of classrooms in schools today. With more and more children entering schools, the need for different types of classrooms has changed. There are people who feel as though separating students based on educational need is not beneficial. They believe that every child should have an equal chance of success. This can either be accomplished by separating students with special needs or keeping them included in the general education classroom. In an inclusive setting, students are educated in the general education classroom. There are usually less students with more teacher assistance. People are either for or …

State-Corporate Crime And The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Alan S. Bruce, Paul J. Becker

Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work Faculty Publications

While criminologists have for some time examined state and corporate crime as separate entities, the concept of state-corporate crime highlighting joint government and private corporate action causing criminal harm is a recent area of study with relatively few published case studies (Matthews and Kauzlarich, 2000). This paper focuses on state-corporate crime at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) in Paducah, Kentucky, and contributes to the study of state-corporate crime in three ways: (1) it adds a new case study to a field in which there are few published accounts, (2) it assesses the utility of Kauzlarich and Kramer’s (1998) integrated …

Corporate Social Accountability Standards In The Global Supply Chain: Resistance, Reconsideration, And Resolution In China, Li-Wen Lin

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

This Article provides a view on corporate social accountability standards from a Chinese perspective, a slightly different angle from that of legal scholars in the United States. The legal literature in the United States typically only focuses on the importance and effectiveness of corporate social accountability standards to regulate the conduct of multinational companies in the era of globalization. However, the views of the outsourced companies in the developing countries, on which the multinational companies impose the standards, have seldom received attention. This Article tries to fill this void by examining the situation in China. As shown in this Article, …

Can The Australian Model Be Applied To U.S. Moral Rights Legislation?, Joan Pattarozzi

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that the U.S. should adopt a more comprehensive framework for moral rights in copyright law, drawing inspiration from Australia's balanced approach, to better protect authors' personal and reputational interests while addressing concerns about market disruption and litigation. It highlights the U.S.'s current emphasis on economic rights, its limited implementation of moral rights under the Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA), and the potential for Australia's model to serve as a template for U.S. legislation.

Search For Effective Natural Enemies Of Tetranychus Evansi (Acari: Tetranychidae) In Northwest Argentina, Imeuda P. Furtado, Silvana Toledo, Gilberto J. De Moraes, Serge Kreiter, Markus Knapp

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

The mite Tetranychus evansi Baker & Pritchard (Tetranychidae) probably originated in South America. Because of its importance as a tomato pest in Africa, an extensive project has been conducted to detect potentially effective natural enemies in South America for the classical biological control of the pest in Africa. A search for the natural enemies of T. evansi was conducted in the Province of Tucumán, northwestern Argentina, in December 2004, and this report describes the results. One hundred predatory mites of the family Phytoseiidae referring to 11 species were collected on 11 examined species of solanaceous plants. The most abundant phytoseiid …

Work In Progress -- Tailoring Optics Resources For K-5 Pre-College Outreach, Theresa M. Swift, Steve Eugene Watkins

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Pre-college instruction in science, technology, Engineering; and mathematics (STEM) is critical to preparing a workforce and citizens for a technology-based society. The K-5 years are especially important to creating interest and instilling basic concepts. Engineering-based pre-college outreach can provide useful resources in the K- 5 education classroom. However, interaction among K-5 teachers and STEM professionals is more effective if outreach is tailored to the K-5 environment. In particular, resources and outreach should accommodate K-5 assessment standards, level-appropriate concept definition, and grade continuity. This work uses a set of optics resources as an example of tailored outreach. Example lessons and activities …
