Is The Organizational Culture Of The U.S. Army Congruent With The Professional Development Of Its Senior Level Officer Corps?, James G. Pierce Dr.
Is The Organizational Culture Of The U.S. Army Congruent With The Professional Development Of Its Senior Level Officer Corps?, James G. Pierce Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
In the present study, Dr. Pierce postulates that the ability of a professional organization to develop future leaders in a manner that perpetuates readiness to cope with future environmental and internal uncertainty depends on organizational culture. Specifically, the purpose of his study is to explore the relationship between the Army’s organizational culture and professional development. He examines the degree of congruence between the Army’s organizational culture and the leadership and managerial skills of its officer corps senior leaders. He uses data from a representative sample of such leaders while they were students at the Army War College, Classes of 2003 …
Embodied Transcription: A Creative Method For Using Voice-Recognition Software, Christine Brooks
Embodied Transcription: A Creative Method For Using Voice-Recognition Software, Christine Brooks
The Qualitative Report
Voice-recognition software is designed to be used by one user (voice) at a time, requiring a researcher to speak all of the words of a recorded interview to achieve transcription. Thus, the researcher becomes a conduit through which interview material is inscribed as written word. Embodied Transcription acknowledges performative and interpretative aspects of interview and transcription processes and explores the efficacy of utilizing the researcher's body as an epistemological tool. Influenced by performance art, feminism and postmodernism, the iterative cycles of Embodied Transcription include processes of vocalization and resonation which may foster "knowing in the body," and serve to enrich …

Netnography: A Method Specifically Designed To Study Cultures And Communities Online, Gary M. Bowler Jr.
The Qualitative Report
With many people now using online communities such as newsgroups, blogs, forums, social networking sites, podcasting, videocasting, photosharing communities, and virtual worlds, the internet is now an important site for research.

Guidelines for the accurate and ethical conduct of ethnographic research online are set out, with detailed, step-by-step guidance to thoroughly introduce, explain, and illustrate the method to students and researchers. Kozinets surveys the latest research on online cultures and communities, focusing on the methods …
How Arrogant Are Sales And Marketing Professionals: Perceptions Of Business Students, Art Weinstein, Margaret Britt, Joseph Balloun, Perry Haan
How Arrogant Are Sales And Marketing Professionals: Perceptions Of Business Students, Art Weinstein, Margaret Britt, Joseph Balloun, Perry Haan
Journal of Applied Marketing Theory
Arrogance is a problem in business and other sectors of American society. This multi-university study assessed more than 500 business students’ perceptions of arrogance in sales and marketing environments. It also probed the arrogance issue in 12 other professions (five business-related and seven non-business occupations). Sales professionals were perceived as being more arrogant than marketers. Gender, ethnicity, and school type were found to be predictors of arrogance in marketing positions. Overall, sales were in the middle-of-thepack with respect to perceived arrogance (several professions were more arrogant and several professions were less arrogant), while marketers were considered relatively nonarrogant. Implications of …
Nationhood And Women In Postcolonial African Literature, Elda Hungwe, Chipo Hungwe
Nationhood And Women In Postcolonial African Literature, Elda Hungwe, Chipo Hungwe
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their article "Nationhood and Women in Postcolonial African Literature" Elda Hungwe and Chipo Hungwe, through an analysis of Pepetela's Mayombe, Achebe's Anthills of the Savannah, and Ngugi's Petals of Blood discuss nationhood and nation in postcolonial African literature within the framework of the postcolonial theory. Postcolonial theory negates master narratives of nation and nationhood, hence it deconstructs such narratives as problematic. Hungwe and Hungwe discuss problems associated with definitions of nation where groups or members are peripheralized. While Hungwe and Hungwe acknowledge that nationalism served a critical role during decolonization, their conclusion is that in postcolonial Africa notions of …
Do Medieval And Renaissance Androids Presage The Posthuman?, Kevin Lagrandeur
Do Medieval And Renaissance Androids Presage The Posthuman?, Kevin Lagrandeur
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Do Medieval and Renaissance Androids Presage the Posthuman?" Kevin LaGrandeur analyzes the relationships between literary images of artificial humans associated with medieval alchemists and alchemy, their modified reemergence in the Renaissance, and how such androids may forecast the idea of a posthuman subjectivity that is connected with their present-day descendents. For example, the talking brass heads in Robert Greene's two Renaissance plays, The Honorable History of Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay and Alphonsus, Prince of Aragon have their roots in Arabic sources, and the former derives specifically from legends concerning the thirteenth-century alchemist and philosopher Roger Bacon. …
Sapphic Consciousness In H.D. And De Noailles, Catherine O. Clark
Sapphic Consciousness In H.D. And De Noailles, Catherine O. Clark
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Sapphic Consciousness in H.D. and de Noailles" Catherine Clark discusses how female modernists, like their male counterparts, re-evaluated their artistic position in relation to the Greeks and Romans as they explored experimental modes of aesthetic and literary expression. However, many women writers at the turn of the century developed a unique palimpsest with their predecessors, specifically Sappho, that deconstructed and destructed conventional approaches to classical legacy and myth. Clark analyzes selected poems by modernists H.D. (Hilda Doolittle) and Anna de Noailles in which they evoke a Hellenistic past and that collapses the artificial constructions of a largely …
Erotic Mourning And Post-Traumatic Sexual Desire, Gila G. Ashtor
Erotic Mourning And Post-Traumatic Sexual Desire, Gila G. Ashtor
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article, "Erotic Mourning and Post-traumatic Sexual Desire" Gila Ashtor investigates the ways Dave Eggers's A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius 2000 memoir contains an alternative logic of affectivity that locates possibilities for mourning in the ambivalent directionalities of post-traumatic sexual desire. Ashtor links dominant conceptualizations of post-traumatic working-through and regimes of heteronormative sexual reproductivity in order to argue that Eggers's self-exhibitionistic spectacle of failed post-traumatic healing, precisely as a drama of undoing that replaces the cumulative acquisition of psychic cohesion with survival incoherent gestures, produces a version of what this paper will call "radical mourning." To particularize the …
Authorship, Collaboration, And Art Geography, Martin De La Iglesia
Authorship, Collaboration, And Art Geography, Martin De La Iglesia
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Authorship, Collaboration, and Art Geography" Martin de la Iglesia explores the connection between geographical spaces and works of art, a connection often made, but hardly theorized, by scholars in the field of art geography. He suggests that the link between space and object is established by the creator of the object. A feasible method is devised to determine the creator's geographical identity, which in turn determines which space is assigned to the object. Particularly, the implications of multiple authorship for such a methodology are considered. The procedure is exemplified by a geographical analysis of the comic book …
A Consilient Science And Humanities In Mcewan's Enduring Love, Curtis D. Carbonell
A Consilient Science And Humanities In Mcewan's Enduring Love, Curtis D. Carbonell
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "A Consilient Science and the Humanities in McEwan's Enduring Love" Curtis D. Carbonell provides a reading of a Third Culture novel that foregrounds the relationship of the sciences and the humanities. In Ian McEwan's novel we see a perfect example of how literary thinkers are listening to the world of science and speaking to it in return. This article responds to Stephen Greenberg's ideas about how Neo-Darwinian themes in the novel point to social themes by arguing that what underlies both of these is a deeper structure: the tension between C.P. Snow's Two Cultures, which is only …
Pain And Mourning In Vogel's Baltimore Waltz And Lavery's Last Easter, Catalina Florina Florescu
Pain And Mourning In Vogel's Baltimore Waltz And Lavery's Last Easter, Catalina Florina Florescu
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Pain and Mourning in Vogel's Baltimore Waltz and Lavery's Last Easter" Catalina Florina Florescu argues that there is something of a contrapuntal, contradictory nature when a person lives with or visits someone who spends most of his days in bed. Sitting next to a patient, his attendee faces the burdensome ticking of clocks, the ache of waiting, and the dagger-piercing questions of one's meaning. In other words, it is not only the pain of the other that intrigues and baffles us. It is also narrating and performing our reactions to that pain. In Florescu's reading, the focus …
Gender In Winterson's Sexing The Cherry, Paul Kintzele
Gender In Winterson's Sexing The Cherry, Paul Kintzele
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Gender in Winterson's Sexing the Cherry" Paul Kintzele examines the ways in which Jeanette Winterson's 1989 novel explores and critiques aspects of gender and sexuality. While acknowledging the importance of the performance theory of gender that derives from the work of Judith Butler, Kintzele contends that such an approach must be complemented with a psychoanalytic approach that insists on a particular distinction between sex and gender. Although some scholars map the sex/gender distinction onto the perennial nature/nurture binary and thus reduce sex to biology or anatomy, scholars of psychoanalysis such as Joan Copjec and Charles Shepherdson, read …

The Stereotyped Image Of Christ In Villiers's "Les Amants De Tolède", Graciela Susana Boruszko
The Stereotyped Image Of Christ In Villiers's "Les Amants De Tolède", Graciela Susana Boruszko
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "The Stereotyped Image of Christ in Villiers's 'Les Amants de Tolède'" Graciela Susana Boruszko discusses images in Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam's text. The embedding of icons of foreign cultures, histories, and religions into a literary narrative results in a work of art enriched by the images fashioned by the "foreign eye." The narrative strategy of Villiers creates a kaleidoscopic representation of themes and images that merge the fields of religion, literature and history. These themes and images — transposed into the domain of littérature fantastique — follow the initiation of the reader to a supernatural world that …
Self Enlightenment In Woolf, Joyce, And Nietzsche, Gabriel V. Rupp
Self Enlightenment In Woolf, Joyce, And Nietzsche, Gabriel V. Rupp
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Self Enlightenment in Woolf, Joyce, and Nietzsche" Gabriel V. Rupp analyzes texts drawn from late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a critical period of change characterized by an explosive set of dramatic, historically unique, and complicated transformations in society and technology. Rupp argues that in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, in James Joyce's Dubliners and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and in Friedrich Nietzsche's last three "strangely beautiful but mad" letters (Kaufmann), these writers' self enlightenment of a unified and discrete self is disrupted, calling into question simultaneously the constructed nature of that unity of …

Interdisciplinarity: A Catalyst For Faculty Engagement Win Internationalization, Lisa Kim Childress
Interdisciplinarity: A Catalyst For Faculty Engagement Win Internationalization, Lisa Kim Childress
Journal of Global Initiatives: Policy, Pedagogy, Perspective
Despite the benefits of international scholarship to higher education institutions, faculty engagement in internationalization remains a major challenge for many universities. This study sheds light on this problem by investigating the strategies used by two institutions to engage faculty in internationalization through interdisciplinarity. This study found that as interdisciplinarity emphasizes comparative approaches, it prompted faculty to advance the comprehensiveness of their scholarship through the integration of cross-cultural perspectives. Notably, this study presents a model to assist institutions in overcoming endogenous obstacles by providing three infrastructural components--time, place, and financial resources--for faculty to engage in interdisciplinary and international scholarship.

Science Education In Rural America: Adaptations For The Ivory Tower, Gregory S. Van Doren
Science Education In Rural America: Adaptations For The Ivory Tower, Gregory S. Van Doren
Indigenous Studies
This thesis illustrated what can happen when academic culture disconnects from the cultures surrounding it. It showed that formal school environments are not always the best places to learn. A discussion of the debate between coherence and fragmentation learning theories illustrated academic chasms and a mindset that science education must originate from within ivory towers to be valued. Rationales for place-based science education were developed. Two National Science Foundation initiatives were compared and contrasted for relevance to Native Science education (a) Informal Science Education and (b) Science Education for New Civic Engagement and Responsibilities. A National Science Foundation instrument, known …
The Relationship Between Adult Attachment And Trauma, Lauren Earls
The Relationship Between Adult Attachment And Trauma, Lauren Earls
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Prior research has suggested a complex relationship between childhood interpersonal traumas perpetrated by attachment figures and the experience of trauma in adulthood. Very little is known, however, about how various forms of childhood interpersonal abuse and neglect affect trauma sequelae and adult romantic attachment in women during the childbearing years. Using a sample of postpartum women (N = 104), this study examined the associations between a history of attachment-related traumas (operationalized as childhood interpersonal abuse and neglect) and complex trauma sequelae believed to be unique to victims of interpersonal traumas; the possible role that adult romantic attachment anxiety and avoidance …

Fostering Multicultural Competence and Global Justice: an SIT Symposium
This paper explores the implications for arts-based research (ABR) methods in fostering cross-cultural dialogue in international study. It reviews the academic arguments for and against the use of arts-based methodologies in qualitative research where more traditional, methodologies in the social sciences are combined with creative inquiry – narrative, poetic, dance, and visual forms of inquiry, for example – as well as the technical challenges and benefits associated with drawing on the humanities and arts as primary modes of inquiry; it explores the relevance and potential for ABR within the broader context of the study and use of the arts and …

Paradigm Educational Materialist For The Pedagogy Of The 21st Century, Roberto Enrique Villaseca Muñoz Phd Candidate, Academic Director
Fostering Multicultural Competence and Global Justice: an SIT Symposium
Since the second half of the twentieth century, postmodern theories of discourse and language ideology has seized the collective imagination of society and education, mainly through the curriculum, pedagogical models, constructivism and the massmedia. In Higher Education, these are accentuated after the eighties, which contributed to sacrifice the materialistic ideas and the postmodern position within a framework of irrefutable ideological bias. The market economy of neoliberal ideology spreads a unique style of absolute truth, education paradigms of language and discourse that dislocates and deconstructs reality, articulated with the massmedia, encourages alienation. Neoliberalism destroys the environment and deepends social inequalities. These …
