Introduction: Looking And Listening, Seeing And Hearing, Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

This issue of the Temple Journal of International and Comparative Law hosts a symposium about Randle DeFalco's cutting-edge book, Invisible Atrocities: The Aesthetic Biases of International Criminal Justice. In it, DeFalco glances at glimpses of the metastasis of mass atrocity. He sees these metastatic processes-these movements-as simultaneously fast and slow. By fast, he refers to obvious and instantly horrific acts of physical violence. These are massacres, attacks, pogroms, and wanton destruction. But DeFalco also discerns that mass violence implicates slower movements and less directly causal harms: these are famine, starvation, corruption, impoverishment, mental anguish, and aid interference.' The movements …

The Establishment Clause, Civil Rights, And The Accomodationist Path Forward, Lisa Shaw Roy

Loyola University Chicago Law Journal

The U.S. Supreme Court’s First Amendment Religion Clause doctrine is undergoing a transition between the Court’s older, strict separationist decisions and its current accommodationist approach. This shift can be seen in the Court’s most recent Establishment and Free Exercise Clause decisions, and in particular, in its unanimous Free Speech Clause decision in Shurtleff v. City of Boston, a case which found that the challenger, Harold Shurtleff, had a First Amendment right to raise a flag with a cross on a city flagpole. In many ways, Shurtleff exemplifies the Court’s incremental movement toward an accommodationist Establishment Clause doctrine, and this …

A Law & Macroeconomics Critique Of San Antonio Independent School District V. Rodriguez, Steven A. Ramirez

Loyola University Chicago Law Journal

Fifty years ago, the Supreme Court decided, in San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, to permit states to provide dramatically disparate funding for childhood education from district to district, thereby concretizing and propagating racial and economic inequality indefinitely. This Article shows that this decision entails staggering macroeconomic costs, undermines human development in the United States, and has hindered the government from promoting general welfare, domestic tranquility, and common defense. The opinion pursued the political objectives of the Southern Strategy and does not rest upon a legitimate exercise of judicial power. Rodriguez furthers the replication of our nation’s racial …

Las Lechuzas En La Iconografía Mochica Medio De San José De Moro: El Sacerdote Lechuza, Karim Ruiz Rosell

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Cuando en 2005 se encontró la Tumba del Sacerdote Lechuza en San José de Moro (SJM), no era la primera vez que se hallaban representaciones de lechuzas entre los objetos arqueológicos recuperados en el sitio y, ni muchos menos, la primera vez que las encontrábamos en el arte mochica o el arte de la región andina en general. No obstante, significaba la primera vez que un personaje en dicho sitio aparecía con gran parte de su ajuar ligado a la figura de una de estas aves, confirmando la existencia, no solo de esas aves en el ecosistema mochica, sino también …

Mujeres Medicina, Las Mujeres Sabias En El Mundo Precolombino, Marisa Sánchez David

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

Durante los últimos años las investigaciones arqueológicas realizadas en el territorio costeño peruano han sacado a la luz distintos objetos artísticos y se han podido interpretar numerosos aspectos relativos al rol que desempeñaron las mujeres, y en particular el papel que ejercieron como mediadoras e interlocutoras en sociedades de ámbito comunitario. Algunas de estas mujeres traspasaron, mediante imágenes (pictóricas y/o escultóricas) la línea divisoria del tiempo para mostrarnos, en el presente, el importante papel que ejercieron y las principales funciones que desarrollaron. En este escrito vamos a acercarnos a conocer cuáles eran sus principales funciones sociales como sacerdotisas, figuras oraculares, …

Rapid Growth In Late Cretaceous Sea Turtles Reveals Life History Strategies Similar To Extant Leatherbacks, Laura E. Wilson

Geosciences Faculty Publications

Modern sea turtle long bone osteohistology has been surprisingly well-studied, as it is used to understand sea turtle growth and the timing of life history events, thus informing conservation decisions. Previous histologic studies reveal two distinct bone growth patterns in extant sea turtle taxa, with Dermochelys (leatherbacks) growing faster than the cheloniids (all other living sea turtles). Dermochelys also has a unique life history compared to other sea turtles (large size, elevated metabolism, broad biogeographic distribution, etc.) that is likely linked to bone growth strategies. Despite the abundance of data on modern sea turtle bone growth, extinct sea turtle osteohistology …

On The Ethics Of Selling Psychic Services, Jeffrey Moriarty

Philosophy Faculty Publications

In many places, it is possible to buy psychic services, including tarot card, palm, and mediumship readings. Yet we have powerful evidence that psychic abilities do not exist. This paper asks whether psychic services should be for sale. I begin by considering whether psychics deceive or mislead buyers. Next, I consider a harm-based argument against the sale of psychic services. Finally, I consider an argument in favor of their sale that appeals to expressive considerations. I conclude with a tentative policy recommendation: the sale of psychic services should be permitted. This is so even though much of the money spent …

Improving Society And The Planet: Sustainability And Fashion Post-Pandemic, Jessica Strübel, Saheli Goswami, Ji Hye Kang, Rosemary Leger

Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design Faculty Publications

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerability of our ecosystem and demonstrated a crucial need to address sustainability across the fashion supply chain, including the end-use consumer. As consumers become more conscious and demand sustainable fashion, the question of whether the pandemic has shaped such behaviors for long-term transitions remains unanswered. This qualitative study aimed to understand whether the COVID-19 pandemic has created a societal shift in individual attitudes toward sustainable fashion, whether it can help to motivate long-term sustainable consumption practices, and whether positive psychology plays a role in this context. With online survey data collected from 154 US …

An “Essential” Solution: Reworking The Essential Facilities Doctrine To Address Big Tech’S Harm To The Marketplace Of Ideas, Kaleb Byars

Articles

Google’s mission statement is undoubtedly altruistic. The Internet overflows with information, and users could not navigate the Internet if an entity did not logically organize that information. On the other hand, should democratic societies accept the convenience that Google and the other Big Tech firms provide if that convenience impairs the marketplace of ideas? Big Tech censorship is at the forefront of current news and congressional consideration. At both ends of the political spectrum, parties agree

Big Tech censorship harms the marketplace of ideas. Republican congresspersons argue Big Tech supports liberal ideas and censors conservative voices, websites, and advertisements. Democratic …

Towards A Literary History Of Quaker Writing In The Atlantic World, Jay David Miller

Faculty Publications - Department of English

Among eighteenth-century Quaker writers, John Woolman was idiosyncratic, as illustrated by the fact that in his journal he recorded an ac-count of his own death. Needless to say, this was not usually done. Instead, it was conventional for posthumously published Quaker journals to include not only an autobiographical narrative of spiritual development but also additional material written by qualified Friends offering further testimony and giving details about how and when the author died. The first printing of Woolman’s journal in his posthumous Works (1774) is accompanied by such material about his 1772 death in York, England, but this was not …

Environmental Aesthetics And Environmental Justice In Jonathan Edwards’S Personal Narrative And John Woolman’S Journal, Jay David Miller

Faculty Publications - Department of English

This essay examines the relationship between Christian theology, environmental aesthetics, and environmental justice in colonial America. As opposed to the work of secular writers from the early republic like J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur and Thomas Jefferson, the Christian environmental aesthetics of Jonathan Edwards and John Woolman have potential to address questions of environmental justice in American literary history, such as tenant exploitation, African enslavement, and Indigenous displacement. Edwards, however, worked in a pastoral literary tradition, which limited his ability to imagine environmental justice due to his commitment to the doctrine of election. Woolman, on the other hand, worked …

The ‘Natural’ Disaster: How Americans’ Obsession With ‘Natural’ Foods Encourages Misinformation, Stifles Innovation, And Harms The Planet, Jillian Guernsey

UC Law Environmental Journal

Every day, consumers are bombarded with conflicting messages about what they should and should not eat. In an effort to make healthy food choices, consumers often flock to food products that boast “organic,” “all-natural,” or “non-GMO” labels. But are all of these foods really better? In this note, I discuss the confusion surrounding “natural” food and how it has hindered progress toward more productive and sustainable food systems. First, I examine the hazy definition of “natural” foods and explain why consumers continue to demand natural foods despite their environmental impacts. Second, I discuss how consumers’ single-minded focus on natural foods …

El Museo Desaparecido. Las Colecciones Del Museo Frissell De Arte Zapoteca De Mitla (Oaxaca, México), Pascal Mongne

Tejiendo imágenes. Homenaje a Victòria Solanilla Demestre

San Pablo Villa de Mitla –ubicado a unos 50 km al este de Oaxaca de Juárez, capital del estado mexicano del mismo nombre– es célebre por sus ruinas precolombinas visitadas desde la época colonial. Pero el pueblo de Mitla –como se lo conoce comúnmente– también es –o más bien era– famoso por su museo: El Museo Frissell de Arte Zapoteco, una institución privada que apareció a principios de los años 50 y reunió la colección de arte zapoteca más importante del mundo, después de las del Museo Nacional de México y del Museo Regional de Oaxaca. Entre estas piezas, había …
