Cinematic Jujitsu: Resisting White Hegemony Through The American Dream In Spike Lee’S Malcolm X, Kristen Hoerl

Scholarship and Professional Work - Communication

Spike Lee’s film Malcolm X (1992) presented Malcolm X’s life story using the narrative framework of the American Dream myth central to liberal ideology. Working from Gramsci’s notion of common sense in the process of hegemony, I explain how Lee appealed to this mythic structure underlying American popular culture to give a platform to Malcolm X’s controversial ideas. By adopting a common sense narrative to tell Malcolm X’s life story, this movie functioned as a form of cinematic jujitsu that invited critical consciousness about the contradictions between liberal ideology and the life experiences of racially excluded groups.

Landing Native Fisheries: Indian Reserves And Fishing Rights In British Columbia, 1849-1925, Douglas C. Harris

All Faculty Publications

Landing Native Fisheries reveals the contradictions and consequences of an Indian land policy premised on access to fish, on one hand, and a program of fisheries management intended to open the resource to newcomers, on the other. Beginning with the first treaties signed on Vancouver Island between 1850 and 1854, Douglas Harris maps the connections between the colonial land policy and the law governing the fisheries. In so doing, Harris rewrites the history of colonial dispossession in British Columbia, offering a new and nuanced examination of the role of law in the consolidation of power within the colonial state. This …

Humanities Education Then, Now And Why, Marshall W. Gregory

Energy And Symmetry In Language And Yoga, Sally Hess, Donna Jo Napoli

Linguistics Faculty Works

The structures of syllables and of yoga poses are compared. Syllables are tripartite, with sound segments rising in sonority (acoustic energy) to a peak, then falling. Likewise, asanas are tripartite, with symmetrical movements flanking the sustaining, vital energy peak. In both entities, then, symmetric structure flanks energy peaks. This organization is not a physical necessity, but a cognitive preference.

Lecturas Intertextuales En Los Folletines Gauchescos De Eduardo Gutiérrez: Desde Juan Moreira Hasta Los Hermanos Barrientos, Carlos Rodríguez Mcgill

Decimonónica

Desde nuestra época, ya en pleno siglo XXI, nos resulta difícil trasladarnos imaginariamente hacia el 1880 rioplatense, para vislumbrar la importancia que las obras de Eduardo Gutiérrez tuvieron para aquellos lectores de la Argentina del “salto modernizador,” de finales del siglo XIX (Ludmer 229). La popularidad de aquellos folletines de Gutiérrez se transformó en un fenómeno literario nunca visto hasta ese entonces en el país, como testimonia León Benarós: “Por primera y última vez el público se agolpaba a las puertas del diario La Patria Argentina para seguir el folletín que Gutiérrez había escrito quizá la noche anterior o algunos …

“Contextualizing” Bertha Wilson: Wilson As A Woman In Law In Mid-20th Century Canada, Mary Jane Mossman

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

Justice Bertha Wilson was well known for her attentiveness to context. Indeed, her biographer, Ellen Anderson, reported that “Wilson’s characteristic stance [was] one of principled contextuality.” This paper explores the context in which Wilson became a lawyer in the 1960s and 1970s before her appointments to the Ontario Court of Appeal and later to the Supreme Court of Canada. By situating Justice Wilson as one of a small minority of women lawyers prior to the mid-1970s, when the numbers of women in law began to increase dramatically, it is possible to explore the kinds of opportunities and choices available to …

A Tale Of Two Maps: The Limits Of Universalism In Comparative Judicial Review, Adam M. Dodek

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

The explosion of scholarship in comparative constitutional law in the last decade tends to overshadow the traditional suspicion that comparative law exhibited towards public law. For the greater part of the 20th century, the dominant paradigm in comparative public law was particularism and strong skepticism towards universalist features and possibilities in public law, especially constitutional law. With the rise of judicial review after World War II and especially in Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union, comparative judicial review has begun to flourish. This paper is a comment on a paper by Professor Miguel Schor entitled "Mapping Comparative …

Process Before Product: A New Federal-Provincial Logic For A New Century, Irvin Studin

Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy

In this article, Irvin Studin of Osgoode Hall Law School and formerly of the Privy Council Office, notes with concern the increasing rarity of formal Canadian first ministers' meetings and argues that the growing complexity of the Canadian federation requires a standing first ministers' forum and a robust supporting intergovernmental bureaucratic infrastructure in order to drive meaningful, sustained advances in the multiple policy areas that transcend constitutional jurisdiction.

Exploring Interdisciplinary Prayer Research In A Health Context, E. James Baesler

Communication & Theatre Arts Faculty Publications

Communication, Psychology, and Sociology are three leading academic disciplines engaged in the social scientific study of prayer, the spiritual communication between a believer(s) and God, but rarely do these disciplines collaborate in interdisciplinary prayer scholarship. Possibilities for interdisciplinary prayer research in a health context are explored through a review of the literature and academic interviews. Interdisciplinary linkages in the prayer-health context are organized in an integral "all-quadrant" theoretical model, and an assessment of the viability of interdisciplinary prayer-health research is considered.

Spotlight On Success: What's Working In Oregon High Schools? - Summary Of Research, Ginny Birky

This paper will share the results of a research study conducted during the 2007-2008 school year.

Interviews were conducted with students, teachers, and administrators to gain their perspectives of what was “working” at their high school. Additional data was collected from surveys, focus groups, artifacts, and researcher reflections. An analysis of the data revealed three overarching themes—what’s best for kids, community, …
