A Hermeneutics Of Blessing As A Meta-Requisite For Reconciliation: John E. Toews’ Romans Paradigm As A Case Study, Vern Neufeld Redekop May 2010

A Hermeneutics Of Blessing As A Meta-Requisite For Reconciliation: John E. Toews’ Romans Paradigm As A Case Study, Vern Neufeld Redekop

Peace and Conflict Studies

Within an overall framework of reconciliation as a transformation of mimetic structures of violence to mimetic structures of blessing, teachings of blessing are needed throughout the process. “Teachings” are considered as paradigmatic stories, principles, insights, and practical wisdom that are derived both from religious traditions and the human sciences. “Blessing” refers to that which contributes to sustained human well-being at the individual, collective and relational levels. A hermeneutics of blessing is a deliberate interpretive endeavour directed toward the generation of teachings of blessing. It can be used with any particular source and the insights can be both direct and inverse, …

Communism With Its Clothes Off: Eastern European Film Comedy And The Grotesque, Lilla Toke May 2010

Communism With Its Clothes Off: Eastern European Film Comedy And The Grotesque, Lilla Toke

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

The dissertation examines the legacies of grotesque comedy in the cinemas of Eastern Europe. The absolute non-seriousness that characterized grotesque realism became a successful and relatively safe way to talk about the absurdities and the failures of the communist system. This modality, however, was not exclusive to the communist era but stretched back to the Austro-Hungarian era and forward into the Postcommunist times. The analysis explores how film comedy provided a second, carnivalesque world that mirrored official culture in a grotesque way and ridiculed it, and as such these comedies indicated the failure of the Grand Narrative of Communism. The …

The Ethics And Politics Of Habitual Bodies: Original Sin, Authenticity, And The Problem Of Moral Responsibility, Brady Thomas Heiner May 2010

The Ethics And Politics Of Habitual Bodies: Original Sin, Authenticity, And The Problem Of Moral Responsibility, Brady Thomas Heiner

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

Who is the subject of habitual activity, and who, if anyone, is morally responsible for such actions? Following Saint Paul, Saint Augustine taught that it is ‘not I’ who am responsible for my habitual acts, but ‘sin, which inhabits me,’ sin derived from Adam's ‘original’ sin. Centuries later, Martin Heidegger argues that the ‘who’ of our everyday habitual existence is not the ‘authentic self,’ but the ‘they-self,’ the inauthentic self entangled in and guided by the anonymous forces of social normativity. This dissertation analyzes the early Christian account of ‘original sin’ and its hitherto unappreciated iteration in Heidegger's existential account …

Authority And Force: Investigating Authority In The Works Of Thomas Hobbes And In J.M. Coetzee's Diary Of A Bad Year, Ciahnan Quinn Darrell May 2010

Authority And Force: Investigating Authority In The Works Of Thomas Hobbes And In J.M. Coetzee's Diary Of A Bad Year, Ciahnan Quinn Darrell

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

`Authority' is said to govern force; it is a word one is born into, a word that shapes what one knows, and even what he is able to see, but it is also a word that conceals its precise meaning and which refuses to divulge its origins. The relationship between force and authority is dynamic, intimate, and infinitely complex; authority and force are often conflated, or differentiated only by the thinnest and most porous of tissue. As force and authority commingle, articulating the difference between the two becomes increasingly problematic, and the most profound consequence of this inability to distinguish …

Collaborative Memory And Part-Set Cuing Impairments: The Role Of Executive Control, Sarah Jane Barber May 2010

Collaborative Memory And Part-Set Cuing Impairments: The Role Of Executive Control, Sarah Jane Barber

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

Providing memory cues can sometimes hurt memory performance rather than enhance it. More specifically, when people are exposed to a subset of previously studied list items they will recall fewer of the remaining items compared to a condition where none of the studied items are provided during recall. This occurs both when the subset of list items is provided by the experimenter (as in the part-set cuing deficit) and when the subset of list items is provided during the course of a collaborative discussion by other individuals (as in the collaborative inhibition effect). Previous research has identified retrieval disruption as …

Relationship Between Student Involvement And Gpa, Jennifer Ellen Burdick, Paige Martin May 2010

Relationship Between Student Involvement And Gpa, Jennifer Ellen Burdick, Paige Martin

Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal

Data were collected regarding student involvement and grade point average in a way that could be beneficial to the students of Lindenwood University. Many students, whether actively involved in a sport, work, and/or other extracurricular activities, spend their college career engaging in time management. These people may have to sacrifice some schoolwork in order to accomplish everything they desire. In understanding this, the researchers wanted to see if the activities had a relationship with grade point average. The hypothesis stated that students who are actively involved outside of the classroom have less free time. These students may spend less times …

Foraging Habits And Social Learning Of White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus Capucinus), May 2010, Jennifer E. Koska May 2010

Foraging Habits And Social Learning Of White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus Capucinus), May 2010, Jennifer E. Koska

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Foraging for food is an essential aspect to the life of Cebus capucinus. The transmission of this knowledge takes many months of careful observations and trial and error. I studied the foraging habits of C. capucinus in the Cloud Rainforest. It was predicted that there would be a difference between adults and juveniles. My data suggests that there is no difference in the foraging habits between adults and juveniles. These results suggest social learning during the juvenile phase of life impacts the foraging behavior of the C. capucinus.

Cultures In Our Community A Social Studies Unit, Anna Louise Buglino May 2010

Cultures In Our Community A Social Studies Unit, Anna Louise Buglino

All Graduate Projects

The purpose of this project was to create a yearlong unit for social studies that any teacher could pick up and implement into their classroom. It was designed using second grade standards, but can be modified for use in other grade levels. The units are integrated into all subject areas with the goal of teaching students about the community in which they live. It also was designed to create in the classroom an understanding of cultures different from their own. This will create a deeper understanding and awareness of diverse populations and their differences. The instruction of social studies education …

Balancing Act: A Study Of International School Heads' Efforts To Manage The Professional And Personal Aspects Of Their Lives, Christiane Pj Sorenson Edd May 2010

Balancing Act: A Study Of International School Heads' Efforts To Manage The Professional And Personal Aspects Of Their Lives, Christiane Pj Sorenson Edd

Dissertations

Interest in the topic of professional and personal life balance has increased exponentially over the past several decades. The topic even is listed by the current First Lady of the United States as a priority item to be addressed during her husband's first four years in office. While studies have been conducted about the professional/personal balance of corporate executives and other professionals, including government employees, there has been almost no direct study of balance in educational professionals' lives. This study investigated school heads' perceptions about the factors that impact their ability to achieve balance between their professional and personal lives. …

Creating Sustainable Identities: The Significance Of The Financially Affluent Self, V Hurth May 2010

Creating Sustainable Identities: The Significance Of The Financially Affluent Self, V Hurth

Plymouth Business School

This paper uses identity theory and postmodern identity perspectives to analyse why high-income groups often have values, attitudes and intentions to consume sustainably, yet tend to have the highest energy consumption of any group. Two key arguments are presented. The first is that the affluent identity is opposed to the environmentalist identity and is more salient, desirable and likely to result in more social support and self-esteem rewards. Therefore, where both identities are held the affluent identity is likely to be more dominant and invoked in more circumstances. Second, the invocation of the affluent identity is liable to result in …

Acculturation, Alienation, And Hiv Risk Among The Russian-Speaking Drug Users In Estonia, Anna Skosireva May 2010

Acculturation, Alienation, And Hiv Risk Among The Russian-Speaking Drug Users In Estonia, Anna Skosireva

All Dissertations

In 1991, dramatic socio-political changes transformed the Russian-speaking population in Estonia from the governing class to an immigrant minority virtually overnight absent of a relocation or emigration process. New citizenship and language policies, and associated socioeconomic hardships, drove many of the Russian-speaking population to the edges of the society. These processes were amplified by traditional acculturation challenges that led to increased psychological distress, rising indicators of social exclusion and social alienation, and poor health, including HIV/AIDS and substance abuse, in this linguistic group during the past two decades. Given the growing relevance of cultural issues in this group as well …

The Population Genetics Of The Endangered Scalloped Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna Lewini, Across Its Eastern Pacific Range, Holly Nance May 2010

The Population Genetics Of The Endangered Scalloped Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna Lewini, Across Its Eastern Pacific Range, Holly Nance

All Dissertations

I have characterized the population genetic structure, inferred the evolutionary processes shaping it, and estimated effective population size (Ne) using different contemporary and coalescent methods in the endangered scalloped hammerhead shark, Sphyrna lewini, throughout its Eastern Pacific (EP) range. I found significant genetic differentiation among seven coastal sites between Mexico and Ecuador using 15 microsatellite loci, and significant isolation by distance among samples of mtDNA control region haplotypes. While Bayesian statistical analyses and coalescent-based methods revealed low levels of ecological connectivity between most sampled sites (point estimates of Nm = 0.6 - 7.3), mismatch analyses showed that all populations experienced …

Trade Liberalization, Corn Prices And A Rural Community In Guatemala, José N. Cabrera-Schneider May 2010

Trade Liberalization, Corn Prices And A Rural Community In Guatemala, José N. Cabrera-Schneider

Department of Anthropology: Theses and Student Research

Trade liberalization policies in Guatemala have impacted agricultural production. This thesis focuses on how trade liberalization has happened, what have been the impacts at a national level and describes how a community has adapted to the implementation of these policies. The implementation of trade was influenced by several, international and national institutions. Among the international institutions are the World Bank, the World Trade Organization and the United States Agency for International Development. At the national level the institutions that have partaken in shaping the trade policies are the military and the owners of capital and labor. The implementation of trade …

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

The purpose of this study is to examine American and Japanese clergy's perception of their role in the prevention of suicide.

Corporealities: From The Logic Of Expression Toward An Ethics Of Bodies In Merleau-Ponty, Donald Arthur Landes May 2010

Corporealities: From The Logic Of Expression Toward An Ethics Of Bodies In Merleau-Ponty, Donald Arthur Landes

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

Having developed a phenomenology of lived and embodied experience in his first major work, Ph nom nologie de la perception (1945), French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961) began to worry that his phenomenological approach remained nonetheless attached to the"philosophy of consciousness" that he had aimed to dissolve. Such a philosophy, namely, the idea that there is a transcendental mind separate from, though somehow attached to the body was, for Merleau-Ponty, the underlying problem with modern philosophy, modern humanism, and the implicit ontology of modern science. Turning his phenomenological gaze towards politics and aesthetics, he began to explore what he called the"paradox …

United In Righteousness: Slogans And Actions In The Boxer Movement, Aimin Guo May 2010

United In Righteousness: Slogans And Actions In The Boxer Movement, Aimin Guo

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

The Boxer movement in 1900 came into world history as an armed conflict between China and Western Powers. However, there was no unanimity in attitudes and actions of Chinese social groups in the conflict. Although all these major groups took saving China from foreign aggression as their"righteous mission" and used the traditional Chinese concept of patriotism--"righteousness" (yi). to legitimize their action in the movement, they interpreted"righteousness" differently to fit their own interests. These different interpretations prominently embodied in the slogans of these social groups. An analysis of the underlying meanings of their political slogans contributes to the exploration of their …
