Introduction To The New Testament: Books That Changed The World, Vincent L. Wimbush
Introduction To The New Testament: Books That Changed The World, Vincent L. Wimbush
CGU Faculty Publications and Research
The "New Testament" is the late ancient and modern religious and cultural designation given to the second part of the Christian Bible (in distinction from the "Old Testament," which constitutes the Hebrew Bible). The designation itself (he kaine daitheke, "new covenant," or "new testament") is a religious/theological one, not an historical or literary one descriptive of the character of historical events or literary documents. It is found in a number of passages from the twenty-seven book collection, and in subsequent customary usage first among Christians. The initial reference was not the collection of documents, but to the "new" …
Nabokov's Third-Person Selves, James Morrison
Nabokov's Third-Person Selves, James Morrison
CMC Faculty Publications and Research
Many previous efforts to come to terms with the problem of autonomous consciousness and of self-construction in Nabokov's work have done so in the sphere of psychoanalysis, and have therefore found it necessary to make a foray into Nabokov's tireless polemic against the school of thought. Perhaps, however, an examination of what may be called "the third-person self" provides a way of apprehending Nabokov's conception and representations of consciousness in such a way that a detour through that well-travelled territory may be avoided.
Deleuze And Film Semiotics, James Morrison
Deleuze And Film Semiotics, James Morrison
CMC Faculty Publications and Research
On first reflection, none of the usual categories seem to apply to Gilles Deleuze's work in film theory. In fact, Deleuze's texts appear willfully to frustrate the expected set of questions: What is the relation of Deleuze's texts to film theory? What is their relation to semiotics, to the taxonomy and methodology of semiotics as it has been rehearsed by post-structuralist film theoreticians?
Book Chapter: The Return Of The Repressed: Saussure And Swift On Language And History, Tony Crowley
Book Chapter: The Return Of The Repressed: Saussure And Swift On Language And History, Tony Crowley
Scripps Faculty Publications and Research
Departures in linguistics are nothing new of course. Ideas come and go, "facts" appear and disappear along with the theories which first brought them to light, trends shift and alter. The language used to describe the history of the field, a field which once constituted a new departure in its own right, is replete with the language of innovation: "breakthrough," "advance," "progress," and even "revolution" are familiar enough epithets. In the face of all this novelty then the question must be, how to do something new? The answer which is proposed here might appear somewhat odd for the intention is …
Rocking The Cradle: Gifford Pinchot And The Birth Of American Forestry, Char Miller
Rocking The Cradle: Gifford Pinchot And The Birth Of American Forestry, Char Miller
Pomona Faculty Publications and Research
The celebration of scientific forestry's centennial in 1992 may be late. It was neither first introduced on George Vanderbilt's Biltmore estate in 1892, nor was its implementation there by Gifford Pinchot an unqualified success.
Ascetic Behavior And Color-Ful Language: Stories About Ethiopian Moses, Vincent L. Wimbush
Ascetic Behavior And Color-Ful Language: Stories About Ethiopian Moses, Vincent L. Wimbush
CGU Faculty Publications and Research
The characterization of the fouth-century Black (Ethiopian) monk named Moses in late ancient Christian hagiographie narratives opens wide a window not only onto particular understandings of, and propaganda about, ascetic piety and religious orientations to the world, but also ancient (non-black) Christian sensitivies to racial/color differences. Four ancient sources— Palladius' Lausiac History, Sozomen's Ecclesiastical History, the anonymous Apophthegmata Patrum, and Acta Sanctorum—are analyzed on the basis of a recent translation.
Nippur Bibliography, Linda B. Bregstein, Tammi J. Schneider
Nippur Bibliography, Linda B. Bregstein, Tammi J. Schneider
CGU Faculty Publications and Research
The Nippur Bibliography which follows is divided into two parts. The first part, "Text Publications and Interpretations," includes all primary publications of Nippur tablets and all studies that make significant use of tablets from Nippur. The secondary studies are included in order to highlight the contribution of the Nippur tablets to the reconstruction and interpretation of ancient Near Eastern literature, history, mythology, economy, law, and lexicography. The second part of the bibliography, "Excavation Reports and Secondary Archaeological Publications," includes all publications relating to the Nippur excavations, as well as studies of major archaeological finds. At the end of the section …
