Ananke In Herodotus, Rosaria Vignolo Munson
Ananke In Herodotus, Rosaria Vignolo Munson
Classics Faculty Works
This paper examines Herodotus' use of words of the ananke family in order to determine which external of internal constraints the historian represents as affecting the causality of events. M. Ostwald's "Ananke in Thucydides" (1988) provides a foundation for examining the more restricted application of these terms in Herodotus (85 occurrences vs. 161 in Thucydides). In Herodotus, divine necessity (absent in Thucydides) refers to the predictable results of human wrongdoings more often than to a force constraining human choices. This represents an especially ambiguous Herodotean category, however, and is expressed by a wider range of terms than those with ananke-stems. …

Principles And Poetry, Places And Stories: The Resources Of Buddhist Ecology, Donald K. Swearer
Religion Faculty Works
Swearer includes in his discussion of Buddhist ecology not only particular texts, philosophical ideas, and practices that Buddhists marshal in defense of an environmental ethic, but also hermeneutical and tactical strategies that Buddhists employ as well. He wants to ensure that the religious dimensions of global environmental issues really do have an impact on decision-making.

A Águia E Os Estorninhos: Galileu E A Autonomia Da Ciência, P. R. Mariconda, Hugh Lacey
A Águia E Os Estorninhos: Galileu E A Autonomia Da Ciência, P. R. Mariconda, Hugh Lacey
Philosophy Faculty Works
The idea that science is "value free" can be traced back to the emergence of the distinction between fact and value in the 17th century. It can be considered to have three components: impartiality, neutrality and autonomy. We show that important parts of these component ideas were developed and defended by Galileo, principally in his letters to Castelli and to Grand Duchess Cristina and in his books The Assayer and Two Chief World Systems. Galileo's argument for autonomy is particularly powerful and, although lacking the generality introduced in later arguments (since his principal concern was to win autonomy for science …

Telling Wonders: Ethnographic And Political Discourse In The Work Of Herodotus, Rosaria Vignolo Munson
Telling Wonders: Ethnographic And Political Discourse In The Work Of Herodotus, Rosaria Vignolo Munson
Classics Faculty Works
Herodotus, the worldwide ethnographer and historian of the Persian Wars, provides a striking demonstration of how the account of past events of national history and the description of foreign peoples participate in the rhetoric of shaping attitudes about the present. Telling Wonders: Ethnographic and Political Discourse in the Work of Herodotus studies the narrative of the Histories in order to uncover the political message communicated to a Greek audience of the fifth century B.C.

Women, Nationalism And The Romantic Stage: Theatre And Politics In Britain, 1780-1800, Betsy Bolton
Women, Nationalism And The Romantic Stage: Theatre And Politics In Britain, 1780-1800, Betsy Bolton
English Literature Faculty Works
In the 1780s and 1790s, theatre critics described the stage as a state in political tumult, while politicians invoked theatre as a model for politics both good and bad. In this study, Betsy Bolton examines the ways Romantic women performers and playwrights used theatrical conventions to intervene in politics. Reading the public performances of Emma Hamilton and Mary Robinson through the conventions of dramatic romance, Bolton suggests that the romance of national identity developed by writers such as Souther and Wordsworth took shape in complex opposition to these unruly women. Setting the conventions of farce against those of sentiment, playwrights …

Cuando Los Enfermos Hacen Huelga: Argentina 1900-1940, Diego Armus
Cuando Los Enfermos Hacen Huelga: Argentina 1900-1940, Diego Armus
History Faculty Works
This article discuss the supposed passivity of the sick as it was assumed by some of the renovated historic and socio-cultural narratives of disease, health, medicine and social control. It reconstructs individual and collective conflicts between 1910 and 1940—from written petitions to strikes—were tuberculosis patients were protagonists. It underlines that in dealing with the medical power and knowledge, and in a subordinated position, tuberculosis patients were able to negotiate, confront and display subtle battles. However, this re-incorporation of the sick into the historical narrative as active protagonists has to be done very cautiously. Nothing indicates that during the first half …
