The Internet: Emergent Technologies In Two West African Countries, Jim Rogers

English Faculty Publications

Being connected for most Africans means something completely different from most of us in more (technologically) "developed" countries. Compared to those who have virtually unlimited and relatively cheap access to e-mail and the World Wide Web (WWW), most Africans have limited access to e-mail only. Outside of South Africa, which hosts 70 full Internet Service Providers (ISPs); Egypt, which hosts 25; and Morocco, which hosts 15, most African countries have well under 10 ISPs, the average being loser to 1 or 2 (Jensen, 1998). This example demonstrates the diversity of the African continent; one cannot simply typify the African example. …

"Handicapped" Or "Handi-Capable"?: The Effects Of Language About Persons With Disabilities On Perceptions Of Source Credibility And Persuasiveness, John S. Seiter, Jarrod Larsen, Jacey Skinner

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

This study examined how four types of language about people with disabilities affected perceptions of communicators’ credibility and persuasiveness. Students read scenarios in which a communicator depicted people with disabilities as heroic, disabled, normal, or pathetic. Students then rated communicator's credibility and persuasiveness. Results indicated that communicators describing people with disabilities as pathetic were perceived to be less trustworthy and competent than the other three communicators, less sociable than the communicator who depicted people as heroic, and less persuasive than communicators who depicted people as heroic and disabled.

Split-Screen Versus Single-Screen Formats In Televised Debates: Does Access To An Opponent's Nonverbal Behaviors Affect Viewers' Perceptions Of A Speaker's Credibility?, John S. Seiter, Jeffery A. Abraham, Brent T. Nakagama

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

Compared to televised debates using a single-screen format, those using a split screen, ie., those showing both debaters simultaneously, provide viewers greater access to the nonverbal reactions of a debater's opponent. This study examined the effect of such nonverbal reactions on viewer's perceptions of a speaker's credibility. Students watched one of four versions of a televised debate. One version used a single-screen format, showing only the speaker, while the other three verions used a split-screen format in which the speaker's opponent displayed constant, occasional, or no nonverbal disagreement with the speaker. After watching the videos, students rated the speaker's credibility. …

Kant's Reply To Hume In The Second Analogy, Gorden Steinhoff

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

In the Second Analogy, Kant argues that we must presuppose, a priori, that each event is determined to occur by some preceding event in accordance with a causal law. Although there have been numerous interpretations of this argument, we have not been able to show that it is valid. In this paper, I develop my own interpretation of this argument. I borrow an insight offered by Robert Paul Wolff. In Kant's argument, our need to presuppose that the causal determination of each event rests not upon our need to impose a 'necessary' and 'irreversible' temporal order upon representations of the …

Honest Or Deceitful?: A Study Of Persons' Mental Models For Judging Veracity, John S. Seiter

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

This study focused on understanding the detailed and dynamic mental models that people develop for judging veracity. It was hypothesized that individual differences in such mental models, assessed by using Thagard's (1989) ECHO computer simulation program, would predict participants' attributions and confidence in making attributions. After watching videotapes of targets, 120 participants rated targets' veracity and their own confidence in making attributions. Half of these participants also provided “on-line” information that, in turn, was entered into ECHO. The two groups did not differ in their judgments of veracity, but the on-line group was significantly more confident. Results from ECHO and …

Probable Causes And The Distinction Between Subjective And Objective Chance, Stuart M. Glennan

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

In this paper I present both a critical appraisal of Humphreys' probabilistic theory of causality and a sketch of an alternative view of the relationship between the notions of probability and of cause. Though I do not doubt that determinism is false, I claim that the examples used to motivate Humphreys' theory typically refer to subjective rather than objective chance. Additionally, I argue on a number of grounds that Humphreys' suggestion that linear regression models be used as a canonical form for the description of causal relations is untenable. I conclude by exploring the variety of ways in which probabilistic …

Feminism And The Postmodern Impulse: Post-World War Ii Fiction., Magali Michael

Faculty Books

Michael analyzes the intersections between feminist politics and postmodern aesthetics as demonstrated in recent Anglo-American fiction. While much has been written on various aspects of postmodernism and postmodern fiction and of feminism and feminist fiction, very little attention has been given to the postmodern aesthetic strategies that surface in post-World War II feminist fiction. Feminism and the Postmodern Impulse examines ways in which many widely read and acclaimed novels with feminist impulses engage and transform subversive aesthetic strategies usually associated with postmodern fiction to strengthen their feminist political edge. The author discusses many examples of recent feminist-postmodern fiction, and explores …

Southern Writers And Their Worlds, Christopher Morris, Susan A. Eacker, Anne Goodwyn Jones, Bertram Wyatt-Brown, Charles Joyner

The Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lectures - Archive

Once a year, the department of history of the University of Texas at Arlington invites several distinguished scholars to participate in the Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lectures, an event that honors Texas' well-known historian of the West. Southern Writers and Their Worlds, the theme of the twenty-ninth annual lectures, may seem rather removed from the Great Plains of Texas that were so dear to Professor Webb. But, then, Texas belongs not just to the West; it also belongs to the South.... We dedicate this volume to Wendell Knox, historian and teacher, Texan and Southerner, who retired after thirty years of …
