Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 2nd Annual Conference (1997)

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 2nd Annual Conference (1997)

“Although the ‘Ivory Towers’ provide very effective officers to the services, we are living in an extreme falsehood if we believe that despite their lack of diversity they are graduating the best our nation has to offer.”

The Minority Faculty Member In Predominantly White Institutions, Rebecca A. Lopez

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 2nd Annual Conference (1997)

Nichts Vergessen Nur Verschwiegen. Das Massaker Von Gröden 1945 Und Die Oss-Mission "Tacoma", Gerald Steinacher

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Am 15. Mai 1985, genau 40 Jahre nach dem Auftakt zum sogenannten "Massaker von Gräden", erschien unter dem Titel ,,Auch das geschah vor vierzig Jahren" folgende Anzeige in der Bozner Tageszeitung Dolomiten:

"Nach Kriegsende, am 15. Mai 1945, der Morgen war gerade angebrochen, wurden jUnf unbescholtene, ehrenwerte Männer - Vater Adolf Senoner- Vastlt, Bürgermeister und Kaufmann, Lehrer Engelbert Ploner, Kau.fmann Gabriel Rijfeser, Lehrer Pepi Pitscheider und der Angestellte Kosmas Demetz - aus dem Schlaf gerissen und von den Partisanen der Provinz Belluno entfUhrt: sie wurden auf brutalste Weise im Wald von Pescul an der Forcella Staulanza gefoltert und ermordet. …

Pragmatism, Internalism, And The Authority Of Claims, Dan D. Crawford

Department of Philosophy: Faculty Publications

This paper develops and defends an internalist account of having authority for one’s claim. It begins with Robert Brandom’s pragmatist account of thinking which locates the root notion of reasoning in a primitive language game of asking for and giving reasons. The idea is that the authority of a claim can be spelled out pragmatically in terms of the social practice of undertaking commitments and attributing entitlements. It is argued that this account fails to acknowledge the role of the subject’s grasp of the higher-order concept of the evidence on which I base my claim.

Supererogation And Overdetermination In Kant's Ethics: Analysis And Interpretation At Their Best In Baron, Nelson T. Potter Jr.

Department of Philosophy: Faculty Publications

Marcia Baron's book tackles two very difficult issues, both centered on criticisms of the Kantian conception of duty. The solutions to her chosen questions lie rather deeply hidden, and the procedures by which Baron digs deep to find solutions are exemplary in their presentation of careful interpretation of texts by Kant, of writers on Kant, and of conceptual analysis and criticism. This book is not like a commentary, which would consider a broader range of questions and issues; it is rather a narrower, closer analysis of a few more specific issues. These few narrow issues have broad ramifications for our …

“Sisters Of The Skillet”: Radio Homemakers In Shenandoah, Iowa, 1920-1960, Lori Lynn Rohlk

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

Radio homemaking shows were the mainstay of two radio stations in small-town Shenandoah, Iowa. These stations were founded in the 1920s by competitive seed and nursery moguls Earl May and Henry Field to promote their businesses. Both saw the benefit of programming that catered to female listeners. The format, “radio homemaking,” consisted of informal talks by local homemakers - often broadcast out of their own kitchens – on everything from cooking to raising families. The radio homemakers were immensely popular, receiving as many as 700 letters a day. Listeners not only wrote, but visited Shenandoah in droves for formal events …

Fredrick Brown:The Jazz Paintings, Daniel A. Siedell

Sheldon Museum of Art: Catalogs and Publications

I n addition to featuring a selection of recently completed paintings of jazz performers, Frederick Brown: The Jazz Paintings offers a broad cross section of the work of one of the most eclectic and aesthetically diverse African-American painters working today.

Born in Greensboro, Georgia in 1945 and reared in a working class neighborhood in Chicago, Frederick Brown graduated with a degree in painting from the University of Southern Illinois at Carbondale in 1968 and two years later, moved to New York, where he became intimately involved with a community of jazz musicians that included Ornette Coleman and Anthony Braxton. In …

The Hergenrader Collection Of Contemporary Art, Daniel A. Siedell

Sheldon Museum of Art: Catalogs and Publications

The success of an art museum is often in proportion to the energy of its patrons who willingly commit themselves to its mission and who, by donating their time and resources, insure its continued success. The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden is no different. And the Sheldon Gallery not only has a local group of committed patrons and donors, but it also boasts an ever increasing number of patrons and donors across the nation who have, for many reasons, recognized the significance of the Sheldon Gallery's collection of American art and are willing to participate in its continued …

Trompe L'Oeil: The Art Of Deception, Nancy H. Dawson

Sheldon Museum of Art: Catalogs and Publications

The tenth annual Sheldon Statewide exhibition, Trompe l'oeil: The Art of Deception, marks a decade in the uniquely successful partnership between the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden, our principal funding support group, the Nebraska Art Association, a nonprofit volunteer membership organization dedicated to the advancement of the visual arts in Nebraska, and twenty-two Nebraska communities that have served as exhibition venues in the past ten years. Local sponsors who support the exhibition in their community, and volunteer docents who disseminate vitally important information to the school children and adults of Nebraska have been equally invaluable to the …

The Ideolody Of Imagination: Subject And Society In The Discourse Of Romanticism, Forest Pyle

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

A first reaction to the title of this book might be to wonder that it has apparently not been used before: ideology, imagination, subject, society, discourse, Romanticism - a compendium of weighty terms elegantly linked. Another might be to sigh at their familiarity and abstraction: are we in for a strenuously theoretical restatement of some well-worn themes? Readers of George Eliot might have a third reaction: is this a book about Romanticism with a chapter about Eliot tacked on at the end? To answer all these questions simply, let me say that this is a valuable book and recommend it …

Review Of Holt The Radical, A.G. Van Den Broek, Linda Mugglestone

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

With Romola, Felix Halt, the Radical has generally proved to be George Eliot's least appreciated novel. Romola used to be safely categorized as 'smelling of the lamp', while Felix Halt was awkwardly 'political'. Despite a continuing critical unease about both novels, we cannot easily employ such easy categories at the end of the twentieth century. Indeed, the whole idea of what constitutes a 'political novel' has itself radically changed. Where unreconstructed Marxist and Marxisant critics used to see politics exclusively in terms of class struggle, and George Eliot as a muddied conservative whose intellectual grasp on political affairs would have …

Having The Whip-Hand In Middlemarch, Daniel Karlin

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

In one of the first reviews of Proust's Du cote de chez Swann, appropriately published in the journal Le Temps, in 1913, the critic Paul Souday takes Proust to task for writing too much like an Englishman. 'His copious narratives have something of Ruskin and Dickens in them,' Souday remarks; and he might easily have added George Eliot, whom we know Proust to have read and admired. Souday goes on:

This superabundance of trivial events, this insistence on suggesting explanations of them, is frequently met with in English novels, where the sense of life is produced by a kind of …

The Twenty-Fifth George Eliot Memorial Lecture: The Larger Meaning Of Your Voice: Varieties Of Speech In George Eliot, Raymond Chapman

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

When Ladislaw has watched and listened to Dorothea in the Vatican Museum, he says to the painter Naumann that language is superior to painting and 'gives a fuller image, which is all the better for being vague.[ ... ] This woman whom you have just seen, for example: how would you paint her voice, pray? But her voice is much diviner than anything you have seen of her.' The novelist does in a way paint the voice, using the visual signs of written language to convey an auditory experience.

Written dialogue may be naturalistic and idiomatic in its choice of …

Review Of Middlemarch's Three New Editions, Margaret Harris, Judith Johnston, David Carroll, Felicia Bonaparte, Rosemary Ashton

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

Readers of Middlemarch, it is a pleasure to report, are now spoil for choice. Joining an already saturated market are three new paperback editions, attractively produced at a very reasonable price with full critical apparatus, including textual notes, explanatory notes, introductions, chronologies, recommendations for further reading and even, in the case of the Everyman Paperbacks edition, a synopsis of the plot chapter by chapter (although the editors are quick to point out that this is 'intended to serve as an index, not as analysis', nor presumably as a substitute for reading the novel itself). The Everyman edition claims on its …

'Heard But Not Seen': An Anthology Of Victorian Childhood Devised And Presented, Gabriel Woolf, Rosalind Shanks

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

This year's performance of readings was subtitled A Victorian Edition of Children's Hour, and was intended for adults. The programme was constructed round the framework of the childhood of Tom and Maggie from The Mill on the Floss and included insights into the lives of other children in both fact and fiction.

Actors are usually advised that it is unwise to act with children, but to play the part of a child is another matter, and certainly not child's play. We suspended disbelief, however, and enjoyed the guilelessness of Ruthless Rhymes by Harry Graham as well as Tom and Maggie's …

Review Of The Power Of Knowledge: George Eliot And Education, Linda K. Roberston

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

This book, volume 61 of the University of Kansas Humanistic Studies series, purports to do one thing but delivers another. According to the blurb on the back cover, Robertson demonstrates that George Eliot had much to say on a number of educational issues that plagued her contemporaries. In fiction, essays, and letters, we are told, she commented on various Victorian educational debates about illiteracy, the desirability of a classical education and higher education for women. In her introduction, Robertson briefly reminds us of some nineteenth- century writers on education: Newman, Mill, Huxley, Ruskin, Arnold, Spencer and Whewell, the Master of …

A Forgotten Critic: Abba Goold Woolson's George Eliot And Her Heroines: A Study, Graham Handley

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

I feel that one should draw attention to the fact that in 1886 an American woman established certain emphases which succeeding critics followed, developed and extended in the twentieth century. This small book (published by Harper Brothers, New York) is a serious investigation of George Eliot's art, even employing the kind of language (Data Necessary for an Estimate of her Mind and Works') which links the scientific and the literary as a kind of consonance with George Eliot's own practice. As early as the second page there is an unequivocal assertion of the nature of her greatness - 'the name …
