Comunicación E Identidad: Una Aproximación Al Estudio Del Consumo [Communication And Identity: An Approach To The Study Of Consumption], Claudia M. Wright

Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology Student Research

Hablar sobre la cultura del consumo es preguntarse por el rol que juega el intercambio capitalista, los objetos y sus dinámicas en el mundo actual. Entender el consumo como un acto cargado de signifcado y como un problema de reFexión antropológica, arroja valiosos datos sobre las ±ormas de circulación de objetos, lo que estos signifcan y su origen. El propósito de este artículo es mostrar el consumo como un proceso de comunicación social que establece realidades e identidades y que se forma en, a la vez que forma, nuevos patrones de comportamiento y pensamiento en nuestra sociedad.

Taking Mormons Seriously: Ethics Of Representing Latter-Day Saints In American Fiction, Terrol Roark Williams

Theses and Dissertations

My paper examines the ethics of representing Mormons in serious American fiction, viewed through two primary texts, Bayard Taylor's nineteenth-century dramatic poem The Prophet and Maureen Whipple's epic novel The Giant Joshua. I also briefly examine Walter Kirn's short stories “Planetarium” and “Whole Other Bodies.” Using Werner Sollors' and Matthew Frye Jacobson's writings on ethnicity as foundational, I argue in that Mormonism constitutes an ethnicity, which designation accentuates the ethical demands of those who represent the group. I also use W.J.T. Mitchell's theories of representation as the basis of my arguments of the ethics of representing ethnicity. As ethical theorists, …

Sex, Trust, And Corporate Boards, Joan Macleod Heminway

Scholarly Works

This article collects and interprets social science research on sex and trust and uses this work to shed new light on the emerging case for gender diversity on corporate boards. Specifically, the article describes social science research findings indicating (1) that men and women trust and are trustworthy on different bases and (2) that there is a bias against women in chief executive officer (and potentially other corporate leadership) positions. Based on this research, the nature of corporate management and control, and current legal scholarship on corporate governance, the article asserts that gender diversity on corporate boards may be desirable …

The Buzz About Sustainability, John S. Farnsworth

Environmental Studies and Sciences

I wear sweater vests, I never split infinitives, I trim my beard close, and I read a poem at the beginning of every class. More to the point, as a member of the English faculty at a distinguished university, I distrust any word that had not been coined by the time my father—himself formerly a professor at a Jesuit university—completed his undergraduate studies.

So what am I doing as the faculty director of a Residential Learning Community (RLC) organized around the theme of “sustainability”?

In the past 18 months, the university that employs me hired its first sustainability coordinator, held …
