Patience And/Or Politics: Augustine And The Crisis At Calama, 408-409, Peter Iver Kaufman
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
Few scholars would quarrel with Ernst Dassman's observation that early Christian "reserve" toward the political cultures of antiquity--a mixture of difference and indifference, which only occasionally gave way to hostility--turned Christians' outcast status into something of a virtue.Still fewer are likely to dispute the assertion that influential fourth-century Christians unreservedly welcomed the changes that came with Constantine and anticipated the "Christianization" of imperial, if not also local, politics. But evaluations of Augustine's enthusiasm later that century and early the next never fail now to elicit disagreement

Saving "Cinderella": History And Story In Ashpet And Ever After, Elisabeth Rose Gruner
Saving "Cinderella": History And Story In Ashpet And Ever After, Elisabeth Rose Gruner
English Faculty Publications
An orphan is mistreated by a cruel surrogate family. The orphan is special, however, and with the intervention of kind and magical parental substitutes, rises to dizzying heights and achieves a happy ending. It’s a familiar tale, from “Cinderella” to Harry Potter —the difference is all in the details. In two fairy tale films of the 1980s and 1990s, those details remove the Cinderella story from the realm of fantasy. Ashpet and Ever After take pains to “realize” Cinderella—to remove almost all elements of magic and fantasy and to imagine, instead, what might make such a story real. Both incorporate …
The Mill On The Floss, Elisabeth Rose Gruner
The Mill On The Floss, Elisabeth Rose Gruner
English Faculty Publications
The Mill on the Floss was the second novel Marian Evans published under the pseudonym George Eliot. Born in 1819 to a prosperous estate manager, Marian Evans spent her youth much as her heroine did, in reading and outdoor activities. In 1850 Evans moved to London where she worked as a translator and editor, and fell in love with the writer and editor George Henry Lewes, a married man. Contemporary marriage law prevented Lewes from obtaining a divorce from his adulterous wife; the law held that, having condoned the adultery previously, he now had no grounds for divorce. Knowing this, …
Buying Time: Howards End And Commodified Nostalgia, Elizabeth Outka
Buying Time: Howards End And Commodified Nostalgia, Elizabeth Outka
English Faculty Publications
Midway through E. M. Forster’s Howards End, the newly married Margaret Schlegel Wilcox returns to the titular country house to find it the recipient of an unexpected makeover. Closed since the death of the first Mrs. Wilcox and for months used as a warehouse for the Schlegels’ possessions, the house has been unpacked and reconstituted by the housekeeper, Miss Avery, who creates a new interior built from moments of Margaret’s own history. As Margaret moves through the house in surprise, she takes a virtual tour of her past: her umbrella-stand greets her in the entrance way, the infamous sword …
Sozomen, Barbarians, And Early Byzantine Historiography, Walter Stevenson
Sozomen, Barbarians, And Early Byzantine Historiography, Walter Stevenson
Classical Studies Faculty Publications
Sozomen, writing in mid-fifth century Constantinople, stands out as an exception proving the rule in Byzantine historiography. He is the first and last Christian Byzantine historian to make a serious effort at ethnography.5 When we consider how quickly Christianity was spreading outside the boundaries of the eastern Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries it is striking how little mention barbarians and their evangelization earn in the early ecclesiastical histories.6 To illustrate this point I will begin by showing that Sozomen’s predecessors, Eusebius, Rufinus, and Socrates, de-emphasized the natural interest that the historical genre had expressed in ethnography, …
Tornar A Casa, Sharon G. Feldman
Tornar A Casa, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
A l'última escena de Suite, l'obra amb què Carles Batlle i Jordà (Barcelona, 1963) va guanyar el Premi SGAE 1999, hi ha un moment memorable i crucial en el qual l'espectador observa el collapse -«com un castell de cartes»- d'una casa de nines sobre el terra d'una típica sala d'estar. Es tracta d'una metàfora d'inestabilitat domèstica i també d'inestabilitat global, una imatge amb ressonàncies intertextuals que entrelliguen la dramatúrgia de Batlle amb la d'Ibsen -i fins i tot la de Benet i Jornet (penso en aquell teatret en flames a l'escena final d'E.R). Després d'aquest moment crucial, una de …
Subjecting Dasein, Ladelle Mcwhorter
Subjecting Dasein, Ladelle Mcwhorter
Philosophy Faculty Publications
"Das 'Subjekt' ist eine Fiktion," Nietzsche declares in aphorism 370 of Der Wille zur Macht. There is no such thing as an ego, a unitary center of personhood that can be appraised and approved for its virtue and wisdom or blamed for its premeditated transgressions and irresponsible beliefs. Subjectivity does not exist. Despite Nietzsche's pervasive influence, however, the question of subjectivity - the ontological nature, the ethical status, and the epistemological significance of the human subject - has been a preeminent theme in Continental philosophy for the entirety of the twentieth century. Virtually all Continental philosophers have found it …
Foucault's Political Spirituality, Ladelle Mcwhorter
Foucault's Political Spirituality, Ladelle Mcwhorter
Philosophy Faculty Publications
Recently, while rereading some material in The Essential Works of Foucault, I came upon a passage that pulled me up short and then sent me flying from my English translation to the French original. The passage, from an interview in May, 1978, contains one of Foucault’s infamous attempts to sum up his life’s work. It starts with the assertion that “since the beginning,” Foucault has been asking himself a certain question: “What is history, given that there is continually being produced within it a separation of true and false?” He elaborates, then, expanding that question into four sub-questions: (1) …
Miss America Contesters And Contestants: Discourse About Social “Also-Rans”, Mari Boor Tonn
Miss America Contesters And Contestants: Discourse About Social “Also-Rans”, Mari Boor Tonn
Rhetoric and Communication Studies Faculty Publications
Although feminism, of course, emerged out of the actual personal experiences of discrimination and other forms of subordination, ameliorating such obstacles required and requires a collective politics, most identifiable in liberal feminism’s focus on equality of opportunity in the public domain, such as Title IX or the push for the ERA I described. Whatever Debra Barnes’s individual achievements, those obviously neither did have nor could have had bearing on the eventual opportunity of young women to participate in intercollegiate athletics, as I did, or to make the legal reproductive decisions occasioned by Roe v.Wade. As Dow argues, the mobility or …
The Origin Of Armstrong's Hot Fives And Hot Sevens, Gene H. Anderson
The Origin Of Armstrong's Hot Fives And Hot Sevens, Gene H. Anderson
Music Faculty Publications
It has been almost fifty years since Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings of 1925-1928 were first recognized in print as a watershed of jazz history and the means by which the trumpeter emerged as the style's first transcendent figure. Since then these views have only intensified. The Hot Fives and Hot Sevens have come to be regarded as harbingers of all jazz since, with Armstrong's status as the “single most creative and innovative force in jazz history” and an “American genius” now well beyond dispute. This study does not question these claims but seeks, rather, to determine …
Delaney Amendment, Eric S. Yellin
Delaney Amendment, Eric S. Yellin
History Faculty Publications
In 1958, U.S. Representative James Delaney of New York added a proviso to the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act declaring that the Food and Drug Administration cannot approve any food additive found to induce cancer in a person or animal.
Columbine School Massacre, Eric S. Yellin
Columbine School Massacre, Eric S. Yellin
History Faculty Publications
On 20 April 1999, in one of the deadliest school shootings in national history, two students at Columbine High School in Littleton, Jefferson County, Colorado, killed twelve fellow students and a teacher and injured twenty-three others before committing suicide. Eric Harris, age eighteen, and Dylan Klebold, age seventeen, used homemade bombs, two sawed-off twelve-gauge shotguns, a nine-millimeter semiautomatic rifle, and a nine-millimeter semiautomatic pistol in a siege that began shortly after 11 A.M.
Operation Rescue, Eric S. Yellin
Operation Rescue, Eric S. Yellin
History Faculty Publications
Operation Rescue, founded in 1986, became known as one of the most militant groups opposing a woman’s right to abortion as established in the 1973 Supreme Court case Roe vs. Wade.
Sacco & Vanzetti Case, Eric S. Yellin, Louis Foughin
Sacco & Vanzetti Case, Eric S. Yellin, Louis Foughin
History Faculty Publications
Nicola Sacco, a skilled shoeworker born in 1891, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a fish peddler born in 1888, were arrested on 5 May 1920, for a payroll holdup and murder in South Braintree, Massachusetts. A jury, sitting under Judge Webster Thayer, found the men guilty on 14 July 1921. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed on 23 August 1927 after several appeals and the recommendation of a special advisory commission serving the Massachusetts governor. The execution sparked worldwide protests against repression of Italian Americans, immigrants, labor militancy, and radical political beliefs.
Sabotage, Eric S. Yellin
Sabotage, Eric S. Yellin
History Faculty Publications
A term borrowed from French syndicalists by American labor organizations at the turn of the century, sabotage means the hampering of productivity and efficiency of a factory, company, or organization by internal operatives. Often sabotage involves the destruction of property or machines by the workers who use them. In the United States, sabotage was seen first as a direct-action tactic for labor radicals against oppressive employers.

Tickets, Concerts And School Fees: Money And New Christian Communities In Colonial Zimbabwe, Carol Summers
Tickets, Concerts And School Fees: Money And New Christian Communities In Colonial Zimbabwe, Carol Summers
History Faculty Publications
It is worth exploring how this new identity emerged. In standard mission history narratives, European missionaries emphasized their own role and that of God, appealing for more funds from Europe and America within a heroic evangelical narrative which characterized missionaries as pioneers harvesting African people, like ripe grain, for Jesus. This theme has been echoed by African church historians who have tended to focus on church leadership and the ways officials overcame challenges and built institutions.2 More recently, anthropologists and historians have emphasized how communities under pressure from colonial contact, conquest, and institutionalization found in Christianity a way of …
Toscanini And The Myth Of Textual Fidelity, Linda B. Fairtile
Toscanini And The Myth Of Textual Fidelity, Linda B. Fairtile
University Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications
Changes in the public perception of performing artists make for fascinating study. There once was a time when the Three Tenors were considered mere mortals. And there was a time when a conductor, Arturo Toscanini, was considered the living embodiment of the composers whose music he performed. Largely through the efforts of the press and the National Broadcasting Company, Toscanini came to be known as the only musician with the integrity and modesty to perform a composition exactly as it was notated in the musical score. Thanks to the existence of recorded performances, as well as the reminiscences of some …
Fasting In England In The 1560s: "A Thinge Of Nought"?, Peter Iver Kaufman
Fasting In England In The 1560s: "A Thinge Of Nought"?, Peter Iver Kaufman
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
We continue to learn about the unsettled condition of the Elizabethan religious settlement in the early 1560s. “Perceived deficiencies” associated with a woman's sovereignty and supreme governance of the realm's reformed church dictated that counsel be “insistently proposed to and, at points, imposed upon” Elizabeth I “by her godly male subjects.” We now appreciate, however, that the queen was not drawn or driven to the left by puritans, as John Neale influentially suspected in the 1950s. And we may conclude from David Crankshaw's recent study of the Canterbury provincial convocation of 1563 that the bishops her government appointed were not …
Ariadne's Thread: Walter Benjamin's Hashish Passages, Gary Shapiro
Ariadne's Thread: Walter Benjamin's Hashish Passages, Gary Shapiro
Philosophy Faculty Publications
In a letter of 1932 to Gershom Scholem, Benjamin outlines his literary ambitions; he plans four major books, one of which would have been on hashish. The others were to include the Passagenwerk, his essays on literature, and his letters. It could be said that we now have those three books, if only in the form of sprawling and gigantic ruins. The Passagenwerk has been the object of many inspired and yet hopeless projects of reconstruction; the literary essays are available in German and other languages; and letters from throughout his life have been collected and published. All can be …
Against The "Ordinary Summing" Test For Convergence, G. C. Goddu
Against The "Ordinary Summing" Test For Convergence, G. C. Goddu
Philosophy Faculty Publications
One popular test for distinguishing linked and convergent argument structures is Robert Yanal's Ordinary Summing Test. Douglas Walton, in his comprehensive survey of possible candidates for the linked/convergent distinction, advocates a particular version of Yanal's test. In a recent article, Alexander Tyaglo proposes to generalize and verify Yanal's algorithm for convergent arguments, the basis for Yanal's Ordinary Summing Test. In this paper I will argue that Yanal's ordinary summing equation does not demarcate convergence and so his Ordinary Summing Test fails. Hence, despite Walton's recommendation or Tyaglo's generalization, the Ordinary Summing Test should not be used for distinguishing linked argument …
