山谷行書和東坡草書《赤壁懷古》詞石刻的真僞及文獻價值, Zhaopeng Wang Mar 2015

山谷行書和東坡草書《赤壁懷古》詞石刻的真僞及文獻價值, Zhaopeng Wang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

宋哲宗元祐二年丁卯（１０８７）黄庭堅行書赤壁詞，自南宋以來，既有原書真迹傳世，也有石刻搨本流傳，傳承有序，源流清晰。今存山谷行書赤壁詞石刻及其搨本，雖然不一定是山谷手書的真迹，卻是可信的文本。東坡草書赤壁詞的傳藏經過，不如山谷行書赤壁詞那樣歷歷可考，只知明嘉靖以前已有石刻。與山谷行書赤壁詞互證，東坡草書赤壁詞的文本有可信度，即便字不一定是蘇軾所寫真迹，内容應是蘇軾所作。山谷和東坡所書兩種赤壁詞，是現存最早最接近東坡赤壁詞原作的文本，可據以校正諸本異文的正誤得失：其中“談笑間、强虜灰飛煙滅”應作“笑談間、檣櫓灰飛煙滅”，“强虜”是南宋人所改，藉以影射金人。

論劉向、劉歆和《漢書》之關係, Chunhong Wang Mar 2015

論劉向、劉歆和《漢書》之關係, Chunhong Wang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

本文认爲，讀《漢書》，當以《楚元王傳》爲綱，並且以《五行志》等爲輔佐，來觀其書之結構和用心，可以起到提綱挈領的作用。今本《漢書》有兩個關注點，除了朝政之外，還有楚元王一系之遭際。劉向活躍於宣、元、成帝三朝政壇，他與他的父親劉德經歷了前漢武帝身後的重大政治鬥爭。然而，劉德、劉向和劉歆亦並非純然從儒家道統出發，來爲民請命、仗義執言。他們主要代表劉氏宗親一系政治和經濟利益，所以劉氏不遺餘力地對外戚口誅筆伐。此從某種程度上看，實際上是劉氏諸侯和皇帝外戚利益較量，總劉向一生，堪稱劉氏宗親利益的代言人，當然更是自家利益捍衛者，其言行無不與此種身份立場相關聯。故而，《漢書》並非成於一人一時之手。今本署名班固著《漢書》，在很大程度上，可以視作一部圍繞楚元王家族（尤其是以劉德、劉向、劉歆一支）之前漢遭際爲中心，所生發、結撰的政治載記，班氏父子共同依照劉向、劉歆藍本來結撰《漢書》，其中緣由遠比“盜竊父史”來得複雜！

《大唐西域記》所載佛教口傳故事考述, Yinchi Chen, Te Chen Mar 2015

《大唐西域記》所載佛教口傳故事考述, Yinchi Chen, Te Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《大唐西域記》是中古西行求法僧人撰寫的一部重要著作，其歷史、地理和風俗上的價值極高，即從宗教文學方面觀察，其記述西域、印度等地流傳之佛教故事傳説甚夥，亦不容忽視。本文試從文本比勘入手，推證《大唐西域記》記述佛教傳説故事的書面典籍和口頭傳播兩種來源方式及兩者錯綜交織之表現，條理並分析其特點，進而顯示玄奘撰述態度的多面性以及其著作包涵的複雜性。

再論《劉子》是否爲劉勰所作 : 兼談學術爭論中的學風問題, Shaokang Zhang Mar 2015

再論《劉子》是否爲劉勰所作 : 兼談學術爭論中的學風問題, Shaokang Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

近來有人認爲《劉子》作者是劉勰，這種結論的得出，體現了作者曲解材料的不良學風，本文爲之做正本清源的駁斥。認爲《劉子》是劉勰所作者的文獻根據就是兩《唐志》的著録，本文考辨了兩《唐志》致誤的緣起，從目録學上，否定了某些人據以爲劉勰著《劉子》的可信性。從《劉子》基本思想傾向、人格思想素質以及語言風格諸方面與《文心雕龍》相對照，所呈現之差異，可徹底否定所謂《劉子》爲劉勰所作之謬論。一切基於違背實事求是原則而作的所謂學術研究，根本是站不住脚的。

Sumpong Spirit Beliefs, Murder, And Religious Change Among Eighteenth-Century Aeta And Ilongot In Eastern Central Luzon, Mark; Ateneo Dizon Feb 2015

Sumpong Spirit Beliefs, Murder, And Religious Change Among Eighteenth-Century Aeta And Ilongot In Eastern Central Luzon, Mark; Ateneo Dizon

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

In common usage and in psychology sumpong is considered a deviant and irrational behavior. Thisarticle makes sense of sumpong by putting it in the historical context of animism, specifically that of the eighteenth-century Aeta and Ilongot of eastern Central Luzon. As a form of perception, feeling, and action, sumpong was temporally flat since past, present, and future did not succeed one another in linear fashion. Based on historical dictionaries and usage, thisarticle explores the role of sumpong as an affective and culturally intelligible way of understanding and acting in the animist world as seen in cases of murder and religious …

Number 2 - The Role Of Western Democratic System Of Governance In Exacerbating Ethnic Conflicts In Africa: The Case Of Ghana's Democratic Dispensation, 1992-2012, David Kwasi Bansah Feb 2015

Number 2 - The Role Of Western Democratic System Of Governance In Exacerbating Ethnic Conflicts In Africa: The Case Of Ghana's Democratic Dispensation, 1992-2012, David Kwasi Bansah

Peace and Conflict Management Working Papers Series

This paper interrogates the influence of Western forms of democracy on ethnic conflicts in Africa through a case study of Ghana’s adoption of multiparty democracy between 1992 and 2012. It discusses the transition of African traditional systems of government before, during, and after colonization. The paper also shows how democracy, by definition and in terms of governance, cannot solely be a Western idea since many African societies had democratic elements in their systems of government before the arrival of the Europeans. Relying on qualitative secondary data, and the analysis of fierce and acrimonious competition that have characterized multiparty democratic elections …

Learning To Be Quaker: Spiritual Formation And Religious Education Among Early Friends, Martha Paxson Grundy Feb 2015

Learning To Be Quaker: Spiritual Formation And Religious Education Among Early Friends, Martha Paxson Grundy

Quaker Studies

The theology and lifestyle that grew from Friends' transforming experience of'primitive Christianity revived' differed from the dominant culture, exacting a high cost. Relying on early Friends' writing, this article examines how this new paradigm was transmitted. Friends summarized the basis of their faith with the phrase 'Christ is come to teach his people himself' (Benson 1968: 36; 1976: 3; Cooper 1990: 2; Freiday 1984: 4; Grundy 2002b: 11-13, 15, 17). In the 1650s and 1660s most people who became Friends were first worked on internally by the Holy Spirit. When they heard a Quaker preach, the words reached to the …

On The Fringe Of Italian Fascism: An Examination Of The Relationship Between Vinicio Paladini And The Soviet Avant-Garde, Christina Brungardt Feb 2015

On The Fringe Of Italian Fascism: An Examination Of The Relationship Between Vinicio Paladini And The Soviet Avant-Garde, Christina Brungardt

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Vinicio Paladini's career as an artist, architect, and cultural critic illuminates the paradoxes of the Italian avant-garde between the World Wars. He emerged as an early proponent of communist-Futurism in 1922 and attempted to integrate futurist techniques with the Marxist theories of Antonio Gramsci. In addition, Paladini provided a direct point of contact between the Russian and Italian avant-garde, traveling to Moscow and reporting to the Italian public on Soviet artists' developments in film, photomontage, and architecture. Yet he struggled to merge his leftist ideology with his artistic practice as Fascism spread throughout Italy. Although he has been largely neglected …

Changing Identities In A Changing Land: The Romanization Of The British Landscape, Thomas Ryan Feb 2015

Changing Identities In A Changing Land: The Romanization Of The British Landscape, Thomas Ryan

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This thesis will examine the changes in the landscape of Britain resulting from the Roman invasion in 43 CE and their effect on the identities of the native Britons. Romanization, as the process is commonly called, and evidence of these altered identities as seen in material culture have been well studied. However, the manifestations of this process in the landscape have been less well examined. Applying current theories in landscape archaeology, the Selsey peninsula oppidum of the Atrebates and two hillforts of the Durotriges, sites that have been well excavated and examined, will be the focus of this thesis. The …

Civilizing Settlers: Catholic Missionaries And The Colonial State In French Algeria, 1830-1914, Kyle Francis Feb 2015

Civilizing Settlers: Catholic Missionaries And The Colonial State In French Algeria, 1830-1914, Kyle Francis

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation argues that between 1830 and 1914, with increasing intensity over time, French Catholic missionaries sowed divisions among the European population of French Algeria. The French government initially welcomed missionaries to cater to religiously devout Spanish, Italian, and Maltese settlers in Algeria and to foster their loyalty to the colonial state. Missionaries, however, incited the professional jealousy and personal animosity of the territory's generally less devout French population, who saw Catholicism and missionaries as little different from Islam and the "fanatical" Muslim population. Throughout this period, missionaries thus occupied a liminal space in the racialized hierarchy of colonial rule. …

Between Egyptian Nationalism And Religion: Imagining The Nation From Below, Yara Moussa Sultan Feb 2015

Between Egyptian Nationalism And Religion: Imagining The Nation From Below, Yara Moussa Sultan

Theses and Dissertations

The January 25 revolution and the dramatic unfolding of events thereafter, have been a time of immense social, political and economic transformation in Egypt. Recent changes in political leadership, from the fall of Mubarak’s regime, to the Muslim Brotherhood’s (MB) ascent to power, and finally, to the landslide victory of the Armed Forces through Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s assuming of the presidency, have brought to light some of the dynamics of mass politics in Egypt. These transformations made visible a wide array of expressions of collective and national belonging as the Egyptian people came into contact with ideologically differentiated ruling regimes. …

Succession Planning Activities At A Rural Public Health Department, Sandra L. Cole, Clifford P. Harbour Jan 2015

Succession Planning Activities At A Rural Public Health Department, Sandra L. Cole, Clifford P. Harbour

The Qualitative Report

This qualitative case study utilized interviews and evaluation of publicallyavailable documents to investigate the process of succession planning in a moderately-sized public health office located in a metropolitan community in a frontier-rural state. Following analysis of the data, the results were compared to literature findings. Four public health directors, the County Health Officer and the Board of Health chairperson participated in the private, face-to-face interviews. These individuals were asked to participate because they have the ability to direct staff leadership development activities. A formal succession planning program did not exist at this agency; however, on an informal basis, leadership development …

Underestimating Women In The Early Modern Atlantic World, Lindsey Bauman Jan 2015

Underestimating Women In The Early Modern Atlantic World, Lindsey Bauman

International ResearchScape Journal

This essay examines the limiting gender roles of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as depicted through the detailed account of Catalina de Erauso, a Spanish woman who ran away from a convent. Disguising herself as a man, Catalina eventually journeyed to Chile, joined the militia, and took part in fighting against the native peoples of the region. Noted as being an exemplary warrior in the midst of battle, she was not detected as a woman until she exposed herself. By taking historical context into account, this essay argues that patriarchal society’s view of women is what enabled Catalina to impersonate …

Twelve Years A Terror: U.S. Impact In The 12-Year Civil War In El Salvador, Cara E. Mckinney Jan 2015

Twelve Years A Terror: U.S. Impact In The 12-Year Civil War In El Salvador, Cara E. Mckinney

International ResearchScape Journal

This essay explores the impacts of the United States government and military in the civil war in El Salvador in a comprehensive historical study. Through the presence of monetary aid, a disregard for the human rights of people in El Salvador, and the presence of U.S. trained soldiers at the then School of Americas and the current Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, the U.S. prolonged and augmented the negative effects of the Salvadoran Civil War.

Evapotranspiration From Natural Vegetation In The Central Valley Of California: Monthly Grass Reference-Based Vegetation Coefficients And The Dual Crop Coefficient Approach, Daniel J. Howes, Phyllis Fox, Paul H. Hutton Jan 2015

Evapotranspiration From Natural Vegetation In The Central Valley Of California: Monthly Grass Reference-Based Vegetation Coefficients And The Dual Crop Coefficient Approach, Daniel J. Howes, Phyllis Fox, Paul H. Hutton

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

Restoration activities in the Central Valley of California and elsewhere require accurate evapotranspiration information, which can then be used for a wide variety of surface and subsurface hydrologic evaluations. However, directly measuring evapotranspiration can be difficult or impossible depending on the evaluation’s time frame. Transferability of measured evapotranspiration in time and space is also necessary but typically requires a weather-based reference. For nonagricultural vegetation, there is at present time no standard reference, which makes the evaluation of a variety of vegetation types from different sources difficult and time-consuming. This paper examines several methods used to estimate evapotranspiration from native vegetation, …

Felony Disenfranchisement: A Literature Review, Carter A. Wilson Dr. Jan 2015

Felony Disenfranchisement: A Literature Review, Carter A. Wilson Dr.

Conference Presentations

This paper examines and critiques legal arguments supporting and opposing felon disenfranchisement laws. It reexamines Richardson v Ramerez, the Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of state laws that deny voting rights to voting aged cities with felony convictions. It summarizes the literature on case law, legal theory, democratic theory and comparative governments related to voting rights and felon disenfranchisement. It presents a typology of different levels of felon disenfranchisement practice. It concludes that the arguments supporting the more severe practices of felon disenfranchisement tend to focus on the 14th amendment while ignoring the 15th amendment; tend to trivialize the …
