Shaping A New Way: White Women And The Movement To Promote Pueblo Indian Arts And Crafts, 1900-1935, Margaret D. Jacobs

Department of History: Faculty Publications

In the first decades of the twentieth century, many white Americans became involved in an effort to promote Indian arts and crafts, particularly in the Southwest and among the Pueblo Indians. Some scholars have placed this effort within the context of the larger arts and crafts movement in Britain and the United States at the turn of the twentieth century. Historians have explained this movement as a reaction against industrial production and as a related search for authenticity. Believing that industrialization had produced a mass culture of imitation, destroyed communal bonds, and divested work of its inherent worth, arts and …

Elaboración De Una Poética En Los Ensayos Tempranos De Octavio Paz, J. Agustín Pastén B.

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

En gran parte, la relación de Octavio Paz con la inteligentsia mexicana ha sido conflictiva, especialmente con los intelectuales de izquierda. Vale recordar, por ejemplo, el pleito Paz-Fuentes, pleito que se agudiza con la publicación de un articulo de Enrique Krauze—amigo de Paz y colaborador de Vuelta—en el que Krauze se refiere al "mal uso" que hace Fuentes de la historia. Recuérdese también el Coloquio de Invierno de 1992. Tras mover cielo y tierra, Paz logra ser invitado a ese encuentro literario para más tarde condenar al gobierno mexicano por organizar un evento claramente político (es decir, de izquierda), …

Wreath-Laying In Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey 1998, Roy Hattersley

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

I take a strange pleasure in being associated, no matter how vicariously, with the greatest novelist in the English language. I am by no means sure that she would approve of this event. Asked about God, Immortality and Duty - strange topics of conversation to be raised during an afternoon's stroll - 'she pronounced with terrible earnestness how inconceivable was the first, how unbelievable the second and how peremptory and absolute the third'. But there she is in black, polished marble on the floor of Westminster Abbey - the junkyard of the nation's vanities.

She keeps appropriate company, in a …

A Beginner's Mind, Thomas Lynch

Department of English: Faculty Publications

In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s there are few.
—Shunryu Suzuki

Recently I moved to Las Cruces in the southern part of New Mexico. My new home lies in the Mesilla Valley of the Rio Grande, as it courses muddy through the Chihuahuan desert, North America’s largest but least celebrated arid land. The Organ Mountains rise to the east, serrating the dawn’s liminal blue. In the fi rst few weeks of my residence, I made some tentative contacts with the landscape on a series of short hikes, toting my 16-month-old boy, Riley, in a backpack. …

On Editing Hemingway Badly Or Not At All: Cautionary Reflections, Susan F. Beegel

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The archivally correct cardboard boxes of the Hemingway Collection pulse with energy. Hemingway's estate included at his death nearly twenty thousand pages of holograph, typescript, carbon, and proof. Those pages make up more than eight hundred manuscripts of published and unpublished work, and vividly show the composition process of twentieth-century American literature's most influential prose stylist. They represent as well one of the last and finest opportunities to study the composition process itself, now that the delete key has arrived to send all false starts, alternative endings, errors, and omissions into the ether, and to cloak the writer's additions and …

Transcribing And Translating Early Nineteenth Century Moravian Missionary Diaries, Rowena Mcclinton

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

This paper illuminates the importance of the Moravian Archives as a major repository for the study of Cherokee culture, missionary contributions to the understanding of Native history, the editorial approaches taken to render the best textual treatment of the documents, and the overall significance of the documents as they relate to Cherokee culture.

Are Religious Records Different?, Robert J. Cain

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Are religious records different?" It depends. The answer must take into account such basic historical considerations as time, place, circumstances, and personalities. This much, as least, is common to "religious" and "secular" records.

Recent Editions--June 1998

Nativity, Domesticity, And Exile In Edward Abbey's "One True Home", Thomas Lynch

Department of English: Faculty Publications

On April first, 1956, only a few days prior to recording in his journal the birth of his son, Edward Abbey began the first of three seasons as a ranger in Arches National Monument. He immortalized this sojourn in the influential classic of nature writing Desert Solitaire, a work whose very title suggests that his experience of the desert was one essentially aloof from familial or other ties. As Abbey reveled in his desert solitude, his wife, Rita, and new son, Joshua, were summering in Hoboken. During subsequent years his wife and son visited periodically with him, but never for …

The Regulation Of Hebrew Printing In Germany, 1555-1630: Confessional Politics And The Limits Of Jewish Toleration, Stephen G. Burnett

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

In the contentious religious and political climate of the German empire between 1555 and 1630, rulers of Lutheran, Reformed, and Catholic cities and territories all agreed that "Jewish blasphemies" were intolerable in a Christian state, yet Jewish printing came to be both legally and politically feasible during these years. This essay examines the German imperial laws that governed the book trade, the religious and political factors that rulers were obliged to weigh when considering whether to allow Jewish printing in their domains, and the policies and safeguards that they could adopt to attenuate these potential risks. In the end, Jewish …

Review Of The Harlot By The Side Of The Road: Forbidden Tales Of The Bible, By Jonathan Kirsch, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Many modern readers think of the Bible as a "dry and preachy" book, not having much sympathy for the all-too-human passions of sex, violence and greed. In this book, Jonathan Kirsch, author, book columnist for the Los Angeles Times and practicing lawyer, attempts to change that impression, to reveal the Bible's fullness in recounting human complexity. In the process, Kirsch hopes "to take back the Bible from the strict and censorious people who wave it in our faces and to restore it to the worldly man or woman who will appreciate the flesh-and-blood passions that are described in the Holy …

Gothic Pillars And Blue Notes: Art As A Reflection Of The Conflict Of Religions, Part Iii, Quentin Faulkner

Glenn Korff School of Music: Faculty Publications

A number of years ago the BBC aired a series of television programs entitled Civilization, produced and narrated by the distinguished historian Kenneth Clark. Clark opened that series with a quote from John Ruskin:
Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts: the book of their deeds, the book of their words, and the book of their art. Not one of these books can be understood unless we read the two others; but of the three, the only trustworthy one is the last.

The reason our society may find it difficult to understand fully what Ruskin meant may well …

The Ernest Hemingway Collection At The John F. Kennedy Library, Stephen Plotkin

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

For the ADE meeting last October, I was asked to comment on the Hemingway Collection from the perspective of an archivist and a curator. The trouble is, the Hemingway Collection is, at this point, thoroughly uninteresting-archivally speaking. Basic concepts of archival theory such as provenance or original order, respect du fonds, apply either trivially (we know precisefly where these papers came from) or not at all (these papers never had an original order). In terms of archival practice, the Hemingway Collection at one time posed a genuine challenge, simply because it did lack any order. The first curator, Jo August …

In Memoriam, Arthur Stanley Link, 1920-1998

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

Arthur Stanley Link, Director and Editor of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson Emeritus and George Henry Davis '08 Professor of American History Emeritus at Princeton University, died on March 26 at the Bermuda Village Health Center in Advance, North Carolina. The cause of death was lung cancer; he was seventy-seven years old. Link was one of the founders and the first president of the Association for Documentary Editing, 1979-80, and remained an enthusiastic supporter and adviser to subsequent officers of the ADE as well as to editors of the many projects which have developed under its aegis over the years.

A Northerner Transformed : Review Of The Fire Of Liberty In Their Hearts: The Diary Of Jacob E. Yoder Of The Freedmen's Bureau School Lynchburg, Virginia, 1866-1870. Samuel L. Horst, Ed., James H. Cook

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

It is hard to believe that ten years have passed since the publication of Eric Foner's magnum opus, Reconstruction: America} Unfinished Revolution, 1863- 1877. It seems like only yesterday that the historical profession first encountered what is now considered the definitive history of the postbellum era in the United States~ The main reason for this temporal illusion, of course, is that scholars have offered little or no revision of the main story Foner offered in 1988. Indeed, the book seems destined to go the route of C. Vann Woodward's monumental work, Origins of the New South, which survived unscathed for …

Wreath-Laying In The George Eliot Memorial Garden Nuneaton, May 1998, Margaret Jennings

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

In paying tribute to George Eliot today we acknowledge a debt of gratitude owed to her for the legacy of wonderful novels which have enriched so many lives during both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

As we approach the twenty-first century I find myself considering how her work will be greeted by the coming generations, indeed not just in a new century but in a new millenium.

In the early part of this century, the Bloomsbury writer Virginia Woolf helped restore George Eliot's standing as a great novelist by claiming that Middlemarch was one of the few novels for grown-up …

Memorandum From University Of Illinois College Of Law Professor Ronald D. Rotunda Memorandum To The Honorable Kenneth W. Starr Regarding Whether A Sitting President Is Subject To Indictment [Portions Redacted], Ronald D. Rotunda

United States Department of Justice: Publications

Re: Indictability of the President, with particular respect to whether President Bill Clinton could be charged with indictable offenses while in federal office.

Excerpt from the New York Times article: “It is proper, constitutional, and legal for a federal grand jury to indict a sitting president for serious criminal acts that are not part of, and are contrary to, the president’s official duties,” the Starr office memo concludes. “In this country, no one, even President Clinton, is above the law.”

Literacy Research: Issues Of Authority, Ownership, And Representation, Amy M. Goodburn

Department of English: Faculty Publications

With the “social turn” of language in the past decade within English studies, ethnographic and teacher research methods increasingly have acquired legitimacy as a means of studying student literacy. And with this legitimacy, graduate students specializing in literacy and composition studies increasingly are being encouraged to use ethnographic and teacher research methods to study student literacy within classrooms. Yet few of the narratives produced from these studies discuss the problems that frequently arise when participant observers enter the classroom. Recently, some researchers have begun to interrogate the extent to which ethnographic and teacher research methods are able to construct and …

Consolation And The Work Of Mourning In Angéline De Montbrun, Thomas M. Carr Jr.

French Language and Literature Papers

The dynamics of this foundational text of Canadian literature come from its heroine's drive to resolve her overwhelming sense of loss. Angéline loses her father, her beauty, and the love of her fiance Maurice within the space of three pages against a backdrop formed by memory of the loss suffered at the Conquest. Indeed, reading the novel under the sign of resignation is a commonplace. Critics as diverse as the early Catholic reviewers, more recent biographically-oriented researchers, and Freudian and feminist commentators have underscored Angeline's attempts to resign herself to this succession of losses. To a lesser extent they have …

Gothic Pillars And Blue Notes: Art As A Reflection Of The Conflict Of Religions, Part Ii, Quentin Faulkner

Glenn Korff School of Music: Faculty Publications

The existence of an intense and vital artistic activity is the most unmistakable indicator of the new religion, but it is not the only one. Three of the most commonly identified manifestations of religion are cult (public worship), myth (salvation history, doctrine), and ethics (right behavior, morals). Secular culture exhibits each of these aspects of religion.

Cult is in some measure synonymous with public worship. (The modern English- language use of the term "cult" is a distortion that wholly obscures its original meaning.) The difference between the two is one of degree rather than kind. Cult in its fullest sense …

Theorizing Black Community, Richard A. Jones

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 3rd Annual National Conference (1998)

“Since the passage of the Civil Rights Act (1965), black leaders (public intellectuals and philosophers) have proposed a wide array of models for the African American community. This paper examines the possibilities for theorizing legitimate, non (so-called) “pathological” African American communities.

“At Purdue University, We Have Recently Developed A Summer Research Institute With The Goal Of Establishing A New Paradigm For Advancing Minority Students Toward Graduate School And On To Careers In Research And Teaching.”, Walter A. Brown

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 3rd Annual National Conference (1998)

“Since the civil rights movement in the 1960’s, there has been substantial increase in the number of senior level African American Administrators at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). However, I argue that this is a partly false perception. There are more African American administrators, but they tend to be in positions that lack power and authority.”
