Hermann Hesse’S 'Siddhartha' As Divine Comedy, Bryan Bardine Mar 2016

Hermann Hesse’S 'Siddhartha' As Divine Comedy, Bryan Bardine

Bryan Bardine

Comedy has always been more difficult to define and pin down than tragedy. Part of the difficulty may be that comedy is, by its very nature, more protean than tragedy: comedy often takes delight in breaking the rules. Moreover, tragedy has been so memorably described in The Poetics that Aristotle may have unintentionally molded the shape of tragedy through the ages. There are different kinds of tragedy, to be sure, but they are usually variations of a similar theme and form. Perhaps because Aristotle's treatise on comedy has been lost, comedy was left free to develop in numerous ways. In …

A Fresh Riff On J. Denny Weaver’S A-Theology Or Prolegomenon To A Stewardship Rhetoric, Susan L. Trollinger, Jason R. Moyer Mar 2016

A Fresh Riff On J. Denny Weaver’S A-Theology Or Prolegomenon To A Stewardship Rhetoric, Susan L. Trollinger, Jason R. Moyer

However, while refusing to adopt common responses to this condition-polite tolerance, on the one hand, or self-righteous fundamentalism, on the other-Weaver nevertheless confesses that his truth has universal aspirations.

Writing Doesn't Begin With Writing: Initial Findings From A Case Study On How Doctoral Students Become Ethnographers And Scholarly Writers, C Ullman, Kate Mangelsdorf

Kate Mangelsdorf

How do novice ethnographers learn to become researchers? In this presentation we share data that is part of a larger ethnographic study looking at how doctoral students from two disciplines (education and rhetoric) who are enrolled in an ethnographic research course develop into ethnographic researchers and writers. We conducted an action research-ethnographic study about the processual experiences of eight doctoral students in a year-long doctoral seminar in which we are the instructor/researchers. Drawing on class assignments, interviews, field notes, and the students’ reflective journals, we describe the various pathways the students take as they become ethnographic researchers. This presentation will …
