The Cosmic Christ: The Christology Of Joseph Sittler, Steven C. Bouma-Prediger Dec 2012

The Cosmic Christ: The Christology Of Joseph Sittler, Steven C. Bouma-Prediger

Faculty Publications

Christians seeking to "save the planet" have to relate "creation" with "salvation" in a way that does justice to both themes. This collection explores the ways in which this task is approached in a wide range of recent theological movements. It includes sections by 54 authors from all over the world. The book provides a barometer of contemporary theological movements.


Doesn’T Creation Care Confuse Nature With God?, Steven C. Bouma-Prediger Nov 2012

Doesn’T Creation Care Confuse Nature With God?, Steven C. Bouma-Prediger

Faculty Publications

What is the purpose of animals? Didn't God give humans dominion over other creatures? Didn't Jesus eat lamb? These are the kinds of questions that Christians who advocate compassion toward other animals regularly face. Yet Christians who have a faith-based commitment to care for other animals through what they eat, what they wear, and how they live with other creatures are often unsure how to address these biblically and theologically based challenges. In A Faith Embracing All Creatures, authors from various denominational, national, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds wrestle with the text, theology, and tradition to explain the roots of their …

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

The article presents criticism on the film "Ruan Lingyu" ("Center Stage"), focusing on director Stanley Kwan's depiction of the female voice in terms of a feminist analysis of the body and voice of Ruan Lingyu, the silent film actress whose life is the focus of the film. Kwan's use of sound editing is highlighted, and special attention is paid to actress Maggie Cheung's portrayal of Ruan. Other topics include Ruan's suicide and China's transition to sound motion pictures.

Naturalness And Biodiversity: Why Natural Conditions Should Be Maintained Within Protected Areas, Gorden Steinhoff Sep 2012

Naturalness And Biodiversity: Why Natural Conditions Should Be Maintained Within Protected Areas, Gorden Steinhoff

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

In this Article, I will argue that naturalness (natural conditions) should be maintained as a mandatory goal in the management of protected areas. It will be important to describe in detail what naturalness as a management goal consists of. Within Beyond Naturalness, Cole, Yung, and other authors misrepresent the naturalness mandated within protected area law and policy. I wish to defend the claim that naturalness, properly understood, is necessary for the preservation of native biodiversity. I will describe an interesting case study in which managers have intervened in wilderness to conserve "what we value" without respect for natural conditions, and …

The Flipper Debate: Teaching Intercultural Communication Through Simulated Conflict, Jennifer A. Peeples, Bradford J. Hall, John S. Seiter Jan 2012

The Flipper Debate: Teaching Intercultural Communication Through Simulated Conflict, Jennifer A. Peeples, Bradford J. Hall, John S. Seiter

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

Although Western cultures tend to view dolphins as friendly and benevolent, in Japanese fishing communities, "iruka" (dolphins) are often viewed as food or pests. These perspectives have led to intense conflicts between Japanese fishermen and activists from the west. This article presents an exercise that simulates intercultural conflict by asking students to role-play the parts of Japanese fishers or Western filmmakers and, along the way, sheds light on concepts such as ethnocentrism, value differences, and world views.

"Tuning" The Disciplines, Norman L. Jones Jan 2012

"Tuning" The Disciplines, Norman L. Jones

History Faculty Publications

Since March of 2009, the Utah System of Higher Education has been a partner with the Lumina Foundation for Education in the Tuning USA project, Lumina’s first experiment in introducing the European concept of degree “tuning” to American academia. Developed in the European Union as a way to create common degree standards across multiple nations, “tuning” is a methodology whereby subject-area teams develop criterion-referenced learning outcomes and competencies for particular degrees. It is a faculty-led approach that involves seeking input from students, recent graduates, and employers in order to create a common understanding of what students should know, understand, and …


Literature And Popular Culture In Early Modern England, Phebe Jensen Jan 2012

Literature And Popular Culture In Early Modern England, Phebe Jensen

English Faculty Publications

"All students of popular culture," Tim Harris wrote in 1995, "would acknowledge the intellectual debt they owe to Peter Burke's seminal study Popular Culture in Early Modern Europe." (1) Now in a third edition with substantial revisions and a new preface, the book defines "popular culture" as the culture of "ordinary people," which included "folksongs and folktales; devotional images and decorated marriage chests; mystery plays and farces; broadsides and chapbooks; and, above all, festivals...." Burke's central claim was that in 1500, the elite were culturally "amphibious," participating in this popular "little tradition" but also in the "great tradition" of the …


Sway Of The Ottoman Empire On English Identity In The Long Eighteenth Century, Emily Kugler Jan 2012

Sway Of The Ottoman Empire On English Identity In The Long Eighteenth Century, Emily Kugler

Department of English Faculty Publications

Within popular culture of the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the intermingling of Islamic and English Protestant identity was a recurring topic of debate and anxiety in the English cultural imagination. Examining the shifting representations from Early Modern Era to nineteenth-century concepts of race, nation and empire, Sway presents the eighteenth century as a turning point in public perceptions, the moments when English subjects began to believe British imperial power was a reality rather than an aspiration.
