Blanket Policies For Strip Searching Pretrial Detainees: An Interdisciplinary Argument For Reasonableness , Daphne Ha

Fordham Law Review

In 2010, the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Third and Ninth Circuits joined the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in upholding the constitutionality of blanket strip search policies in correctional institutions. As a result, more government officials across the country can strip search arrestees and pretrial detainees as a matter of routine procedure without any reasonable suspicion that the detainees have contraband. These detainees include individuals without criminal histories who are arrested for traffic or other minor offenses, and who have done nothing to suggest that they are attempting to smuggle contraband into correctional facilities. This …

Alien Language: Immigration Metaphors And The Jurisprudence Of Otherness , Keith Cunningham-Parmeter

Fordham Law Review

Metaphors tell the story of immigration law. Throughout its immigration jurisprudence, the U.S. Supreme Court has employed rich metaphoric language to describe immigrants attacking nations and aliens flooding communities. This Article applies research in cognitive linguistics to critically evaluate the metaphoric construction of immigrants in the law. Three conceptual metaphors dominate legal texts: immigrants are aliens, immigration is a flood, and immigration is an invasion. In order to gauge the prevalence of these metaphors, the Article engages in a textual analysis of modern Supreme Court opinions and presents original empirical data on the incidence of alienage terminology in federal court …

Religion As Aesthetic Creation: Ritual And Belief In William Butler Yeats And Aleister Crowley, Amy M. Clanton

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

William Butler Yeats and Aleister Crowley created literary works intending them to comprise religious systems, thus negotiating the often-conflicting roles of religion and modern art and literature. Both men credited Percy Bysshe Shelley as a major influence, and Shelley's ideas of art as religion may have shaped their pursuit to create working religions from their art. This study analyzes the beliefs, prophetic practices, myths, rituals, and invocations found in their literature, focusing particularly on Yeats's Supernatural Songs, Celtic Mysteries, and Island of Statues, and Crowley's "Philosopher's Progress," "Garden of Janus," Rites of Eleusis, and "Hymn to Pan." While anthropological definitions …

Research On The Historical And Philosophical Foundations Of Andragogy: Expanding Horizons And Deepening The Search In 2011, John Henschke

Adult Education Faculty Works

This paper on the History and Philosophy of Andragogy is mainly limited [with a few exceptions] to a chronological history and the accompanying philosophy of andragogy, in line with when the English language documents were published and personal descriptions of events were written down. Some of these documents, however, present aspects of the events and ideas which recount the years and contexts in which they appeared in published form. This will not be an exact history of the events and philosophy as they appear in chronological order. But, this will be presented in the general sequence of the years that …

"Not If, But When": Sex, Risk, And Trust In Timing Gardasil Vaccine Decisions, An Exploratory Study Among Healthcare Providers And Middle-Class Parents In The U.S., Kathleen Marie Brelsford

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation research explores how values regarding sexuality, morality, responsibility, protection, trust, and risk — expressed through parent, daughter, and healthcare provider relationships and interactions — inform parental decisions regarding the Gardasil® vaccine. In particular, the research examines the competing and conflicting meanings that parents and providers ascribe to vaccination and how actors position the vaccine within a wider set of negotiated, value–laden discourses. Because these narratives are situated within a larger structural field that shapes the landscape in which providers and parents interact, relevant historical and structural factors, including vaccine policy, cost, and compensation are discussed.

Feeling Like “Fullah”: The Challenges Of Being A Religious Convert And Anthropologist, M. Chloe Mulderig

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

The medina of Fes has been the core of Morocco's cultural and religious identity for over a thousand years. After nearly a decade of working in the city, I returned in 2011 to begin research on young women's piety and the transmission of Islamic knowledge. Actively engaging in the religious communities of the city brought unforeseen challenges, as my own womanhood and piety were put on display. This article examines the dual role that some anthropologists can face: that of the scholar, and of the convert. Though an exploration of the position of the convert in a religious society, I …

“Did You Find Culture There?”: Yuquí Artisanry Of Bolivia And The Uncertain Control Of Self-Representation Through Cultural Commodification, Tatiana Gumucio

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

Through discussion of my experience with Yuquí community members in Bolivia, I reflect upon a widespread phenomenon: when people with limited options resort to the sale of their culture for their economic survival. There is substantial literature that supports that indigenous peoples can influence the representations of themselves communicated through artisanry or touristic products in such a way that is self-asserting; however, the Yuquí case demonstrates that such representational control may not always be possible. The image that Yuquí crafts communicate is of an archaic, vestigial people, an image that the Yuquí do not esteem. Although it is an invalid …

A Case Study In Frontier Warfare: Racial Violence, Revenge, And The Ambush At Fort Laurens, Ohio, Kyle Somerville

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

In February of 1779, a combined British and Native American raiding party ambushed a small group of American soldiers at an isolated fort on the Ohio frontier. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least 13 soldiers, many of who died from massive head injuries that, to modern researchers, do not appear to have been tactically necessary. However, rather than being an isolated instance of savagery or wartime atrocity this paper considers the ideological and cultural bases of violence behind the trauma, and will argue that the Fort Laurens ambush was just one example of violence in a long …

Ambiguous Assessment: Critiquing The Anthropology Graduate Admissions Process, Elizabeth A. Marks

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

This article presents a survey of admissions processes employed by 43 American anthropologydepartments. Motivated by a desire to begin a dialogue about how candidates can be better prepared tosubmit an application, and to assess how individual departments make admissions decisions, I conducteda survey of faculty within these departments using both email and a web-based survey tool. Additionally,I spoke to prospective doctoral student users of a particular online forum– thegradcafe.com– to assesstheir understanding of the process and their confidence about admissions. Herein, I further attempt toexplain why a transparent admissions process is in the interest of anthropology graduate programs, andsuggest how …

Too 'High' Tech: Metonymical Fallacies And Fetishism In The Perception Of Technology, Aníbal García Arregui

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

This paper suggests that technology is excessively ‘high’ in two senses. The first sense refers to a high level of logical or grammatical abstraction: artifacts and machines are designated (in medias, everyday and scientific discourses) as ‘technology’, a word that etymologically refers to the knowledge surrounding those artifacts. Following the Logical Types Theory, the fact of designating concrete artifacts with the level of abstraction which corresponds to the totality containing those artifacts, leads us into metonymical or “vicious circle fallacies” (Whitehead & Russell, 1962). The second sense of ‘highness’ is symbolic. Recent works on Anthropology of Technology show that machines …

On The Antiquity Of Trisomy 21: Moving Towards A Quantitative Diagnosis Of Down Syndrome In Historic Material Culture, John M. Starbuck

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

Down syndrome was first medically described as a separate condition from other forms of cognitive impairment in 1866. Because it took so long for Down syndrome to be recognized as a clinical entity deserving its own status, several investigators have questioned whether or not Down syndrome was ever recognized before 1866. Few cases of ancient skeletal remains have been documented to have Down syndrome-like characteristics. However, several forms of material culture may depict this condition. Within this paper the history of our understanding of Down syndrome is discussed. Both skeletal remains and different forms of material culture that may depict …

Morphometric Analysis Of The Herto Cranium (Bou-Vp-16/1): Where Does It Fit?, Kyle D. Lubsen, Robert S. Corruccini

Journal of Contemporary Anthropology

The debate surrounding the initial appearance of anatomically modern Homo sapiens and subsequent evolution into modern Homo sapiens sapiens had centered on two competing hypotheses. The “Multiregional Continuity Model” and the “Out of Africa 2 Model”. Evidence for these models has primarily come from analyses of pertinent fossilized remains and genetic data. White et al. (2003) suggests that their multivariate analyses of one of three fossil crania, from the Herto formation of the Bouri member in the Middle Awash, Ethiopia, places the fossil intermediate between Archaic Homo sapiens (i.e. Kabwe) and more modern Homo sapiens (i.e. Qafzeh and Skhul V). …

The Intersection Of Tort And Environmental Law: Where The Twains Should Meet And Depart, Mark Latham, Victor E. Schwartz, Christopher E. Appel

Fordham Law Review

The explosion of environmental statutes over the past forty years, giving rise to the field of environmental law, has created a critical and evolving question in our legal system as to how this comparatively new field of law intersects with the common law of torts. Defining the proper role of tort law in remedying environmental injuries is an important matter of public policy; the answer will determine what the tort system can and cannot achieve, inform what it should and should not achieve, and clarify which common law enforcement areas are actually voids. This information assists the judiciary on its …
