Les Chants De Maldoror: Plaisir De La Négation, Négation Du Plaisir, Eloise Sureau-Hale Jan 2009

Les Chants De Maldoror: Plaisir De La Négation, Négation Du Plaisir, Eloise Sureau-Hale

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This essay studies Ducasse’s various stylistic strategies for triggering the reader’s pleasure, or lack thereof. By considering Riffaterre’s concept of style, I demonstrate that Ducasse’s sentence organization and word choice underscore negation. Analyzing a passage from canto three highlights the stylistic means used to hinder the reader’s pleasure.

Isidore Ducasse Précurseur D'Odilon Redon. L'Hypotypose En Noir Et Blanc., Eloise Sureau-Hale

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Les chants de Maldoror sont un texte visuel. Les images présenté es, souvent violentes, frappent le lecteur pris dans son conformisme. A l'heure oùles rayons X et la psychanalyse avancent sur la scène médicale, à l'heure oùles théories de l'évolution de Darwin transforment les idées reçues, l'on perçoit chez Redon comme chez Ducasse avant lui, une volonté d'exposer ce qui était au préalable enfoui, invisible. Larves et microbes se côtoient dans les tableaux de Redon, comme Ducasse se plaît à décrire en détails les divers organes que Maldoror, lénigmatique protagoniste des Chants, sort avec soin du vagin de la …


La Africana Y Galdós: De La Nación A Fortunata Y Jacinta, Linda M. Willem Jan 2009

La Africana Y Galdós: De La Nación A Fortunata Y Jacinta, Linda M. Willem

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

The article links Galdós's review of Meyerbeer's opera La Africana, published in La Nación in 1865, with his reference to that opera in the "Viaje de novios" [Honeymoon] chapter of Fortunata y Jacinta. The romantic triangle of Sélica, Vasco de Gama, and Inés is compared to that of Fortunata as ambiguous examples of the Orientalized "Other."


La (Des) Pluralización Del Verbo Haber Existencial En El Español Salvadoreño: ¿Un Cambio En Progreso?, Alexander Quintanilla Jan 2009

La (Des) Pluralización Del Verbo Haber Existencial En El Español Salvadoreño: ¿Un Cambio En Progreso?, Alexander Quintanilla

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This study analyzes the pluralization of the verb haber in Salvadoran Spanish. Spanish uses the verb haber ‘to have’ for existential sentences. According to traditional grammars, existential sentences with haber are impersonal, that is, they are conjugated only in the third-person singular. However, it is common in most Spanish varieties to conjugate haber in the plural when the nominal phrase is plural.

Recent studies have suggested that the pluralization of haber is an innovation in modern Spanish and that it is advancing from lower to higher classes. My study shows that on the contrary there is little evidence indicating that …

Celebrity And The Spectacle Of Nation, Jason N. Goldsmith Jan 2009

Celebrity And The Spectacle Of Nation, Jason N. Goldsmith

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

A decidedly promiscuous brand of renown, celebrity has a bad reputation. That reputation was characterised by Daniel Boorstin, who coined what has become a near-axiomatic definition of the celebrity as 'a person who is known for his well-knowness'.1The tautological bent of Boorstin's definition seems to suggest the meretricious nature of celebrities, famous not because they have done anything to merit acclaim, but because their images have been widely publicised and promoted. According to this logic, celebrities are superficial personalities, bold-faced names, air-brushed faces; they are slick images manufactured for the moment. Celebrities signify all that is shallow about …


Barack Obama, Resort To Force, And U.S. Military Hegemony, Harry Van Der Linden Jan 2009

Barack Obama, Resort To Force, And U.S. Military Hegemony, Harry Van Der Linden

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Just War Theorists have neglected that a lack of “just military preparedness” on the side of a country seriously undermines its capability to resort justly to military force. In this paper, I put forth five principles of “just military preparedness” and show that since the new Obama administration will seek to maintain the United States’ dominant military position in the world, it will violate each of the principles. I conclude on this basis that we should anticipate that the Obama administration will add another page to the United States’ history of unjust military interventions.

Ephemeral Mechanisms And Historical Explanation, Stuart Glennan Jan 2009

Ephemeral Mechanisms And Historical Explanation, Stuart Glennan

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

While much of the recent literature on mechanisms has emphasized the superiority of mechanisms and mechanistic explanation over laws and nomological explanation, paradigmatic mechanisms—e.g., clocks or synapses – actually exhibit a great deal of stability in their behavior. And while mechanisms of this kind are certainly of great importance, there are many events that do not occur as a consequence of the operation of stable mechanisms. Events of natural and human history are often the consequence of causal processes that are ephemeral and capricious. In this paper I shall argue that, notwithstanding their ephemeral nature, these processes deserve to be …


Questioning The Resort To U.S. Hegemonic Military Force, Harry Van Der Linden Jan 2009

Questioning The Resort To U.S. Hegemonic Military Force, Harry Van Der Linden

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This paper seeks to defend the thesis that this American project of military hegemony has a variety of global security costs of such combined magnitude that there is a strong prima facie case against the resort to armed force by the United States, so that its wars might be wrong even when there is a just cause. My thesis is based on the jus ad bellum principle of proportionality.


Out Of India: Immigrant Hindus And South Asian Hinduism In The United States, Chad M. Bauman, Jennifer Saunders Jan 2009

Out Of India: Immigrant Hindus And South Asian Hinduism In The United States, Chad M. Bauman, Jennifer Saunders

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

The article provides a survey of research on immigrant Hindus and South Asian Hinduism in the United States, focusing in particular on certain trends in the development of American Hinduism (e.g., Americanization, protestantization, ecumenization, congregationalization, homogenization, ritual adaptation) and prominent themes in more recent scholarship on the topic (e.g., race, transnational connections, and Hindu nationalism).


Lies, Lyres, And Laughter In The Homeric Hymn To Hermes, Christopher Bungard Jan 2009

Lies, Lyres, And Laughter In The Homeric Hymn To Hermes, Christopher Bungard

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

With its flatulent hero, the Homeric Hymn to Hermes has long been a source of trouble for scholars. While early 20th century scholars dismissed the hymn as having no serious purpose, Clay (1989), Harrell (1991), and Johnston (2002) have discussed the acquisition of timê or questions of cult practice as its purpose.


Junk-Yard Ride, Marshall W. Gregory Jan 2009

Junk-Yard Ride, Marshall W. Gregory

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This paper describes the difficulties of being born into an emotionally and intellectually dysfunctional family headed by two child-parents who had neither the skill nor interest nor desire to be thoughtful parents, and who were saddled with all the intellectual and emotional baggage of fundamentalist protestantism that they passed on to their children, forcing the author of the essay to untangle many personal knots of confusion and pain on his path toward autonomy and peace.


Jesus Christ As Poetic Symbol: Wilhelm Bousset’S Contribution To The Faith-History Debate, Brent A. R. Hege Jan 2009

Jesus Christ As Poetic Symbol: Wilhelm Bousset’S Contribution To The Faith-History Debate, Brent A. R. Hege

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Wilhelm Bousset, a leading member of the religionsgeschichtliche school and author of a seminal work on early Christology, Kyrios Christos, is typically regarded by reviewers of his work as a classic nineteenth-century liberal who sought a secure foundation for faith in the historical Jesus. However, this view of Bousset fails to appreciate the significant development of his theological perspective on the relationship between faith and history, a perspective that underwent a profound shift due to the influence of the English historian Thomas Carlyle and the Kantian philosopher Jakob Friedrich Fries. It is the influence of these two figures that enables …


Geschichte Und Historie: The Problem Of Faith And History, Brent A. R. Hege Jan 2009

Geschichte Und Historie: The Problem Of Faith And History, Brent A. R. Hege

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Faith at the Intersection of History and Experience is the first study in English of the theology of the German Lutheran theologian, Georg Wobbermin (1869–1943), who has been called a “captain of the liberal rearguard.” Widely read and discussed in his own lifetime, Wobbermin’s theology fell into obscurity as dialectical theology rose to prominence in the years following the First World War.

Hege presents the major themes of Wobbermin’s theology, particularly his analysis of the relationship between faith and history and his development of a religio-psychological theological method that places faith at the intersection of history and experience. Wobbermin’s critiques …
