¿De Qué Cine Hablamos? Las Tareas De Los Estudios Del Cine Latinoamericano, Claudia Ferman Jan 2009

¿De Qué Cine Hablamos? Las Tareas De Los Estudios Del Cine Latinoamericano, Claudia Ferman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

La introducción a este grupo de trabajos en los que se abordan los desarrollos recientes en los estudios del cine comienza con la pregunta acerca del objeto de ese estudio, es decir, de qué cine hablamos (o debemos hablar) cuando se piensa el cine latinoamericano. Los trabajos que siguen basan su discusión en el reconocimiento de que la expresión cinematográfica latinoamericana se ha multiplicado exponencialmente (Remedi) y que, gracias a nuevas tecnologías tanto de producción (digital) como de reproducción (DVD), así como a políticas más decididas por parte de algunos gobiernos nacionales del continente, el cine latinoamericano ha llegado en …


Teaching Economics, Jonathan B. Wight Jan 2009

Teaching Economics, Jonathan B. Wight

Economics Faculty Publications

Ethical considerations intersect with economics education on a number of planes. Nonetheless, in terms of curricula, only a handful of economics departments offer courses specifically focused on ethics. This chapter addresses the ways in which instructors can incorporate ethical components into teaching principles and field courses in order to broaden economic understanding and to enhance critical thinking. It examines three pedagogical issues: the artificial dichotomy between positive and normative analysis; the limiting scope of efficiency in outcomes analyses; and the incorporation of alternative ethical frameworks into public policy debates.


On The Record : The Visibility Of Race, Class, Gender, And Age In Richmond, Virginia's Newspaper Coverage Of 1960'S Sitdown Movement, Jill Eisenberg Jan 2009

On The Record : The Visibility Of Race, Class, Gender, And Age In Richmond, Virginia's Newspaper Coverage Of 1960'S Sitdown Movement, Jill Eisenberg

Honors Theses

This research project is an analysis of the representation of race, class, gender, and age in local newspapers during the early 1960 civil rights' sitdown movement in Richmond, Virginia. Political figures and heads of media were predominantly older, elite, white- and male-oriented and -dominated. Through studying both white Richmond and African American Richmond newspapers, this thesis explores how these interlocking and interdependent systems of oppression and privilege affected the portrayal of groups and individuals in the media. Gender, race, class, and age cannot be studied in isolation from one another when analyzing the Civil Rights Movement and newspapers as primary …


Donatism Revisited: Moderates And Militants In Late Antique North Africa, Peter Iver Kaufman Jan 2009

Donatism Revisited: Moderates And Militants In Late Antique North Africa, Peter Iver Kaufman

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

The little we know about the relationships between moderate and militant Donatists in the late fourth and early fifth centuries tells us more about the opposition that both groups stirred among the Caecilianists. What follows is an effort to reenter the Caecilianists’ polemic to discover what we can learn about Donatism and its critics, chiefly Augustine, by reading the evidence with some useful conclusions drawn from the study of more recent religious violence.


A Birth And A Death, Or Everything Important Happens On Monday, Daryl Cumber Dance Jan 2009

A Birth And A Death, Or Everything Important Happens On Monday, Daryl Cumber Dance

English Faculty Publications

I was going to be a grandmother. It had taken all too long. I gave birth to my first child, Warren Dance Jr., when I was only twenty-one, but Warren Jr. was going to be almost thirty-six when his first child was born. As excited as I was, I decided to wait until a week after the July 4, 1995, appearance of my new grand to visit him in Houston, Texas. Other members of the family were going to be there for the birth, and I wanted time to enjoy this baby all by myself, so I planned to arrive …


What Is A “Real” Argument?, G. C. Goddu Jan 2009

What Is A “Real” Argument?, G. C. Goddu

Philosophy Faculty Publications

Numerous informal logicians and argumentation theorists restrict their theorizing to what they call “real” arguments. But is there a clear distinction to be made between “real” and “non-real” arguments? Here I explore four possible accounts of the alleged distinction and argue that none can serve the theoretical uses to which the distinction is most often put.


Governmentality, Biopower, And The Debate Over Genetic Enhancement, Ladelle Mcwhorter Jan 2009

Governmentality, Biopower, And The Debate Over Genetic Enhancement, Ladelle Mcwhorter

Philosophy Faculty Publications

Although Foucault adamantly refused to make moral pronouncements or dictate moral principles or political programs to his readers, his work offers a number of tools and concepts that can help us develop our own ethical views and practices. One of these tools is genealogical analysis, and one of these concepts is “biopower.” Specifically, this essay seeks to demonstrate that Foucault’s concept of biopower and his genealogical method are valuable as we consider moral questions raised by genetic enhancement technologies. First, it examines contemporary debate over the development, marketing, and application of such technologies, suggesting that what passes for ethical deliberation …


Erde, Gary Shapiro Jan 2009

Erde, Gary Shapiro

Philosophy Faculty Publications

E bezeichnet alles, was diesseitig ist, sich auf den Körper und das Natürliche bezieht, in Abgrenzung zu den Vorstellungen von einer anderen, höheren Welt, die die Religion und Philosophie des Westens beherrscht haben. Daher ermahnt Zarathustra seine Zuhörer, nicht den Kopf in den Sand der himmlischen Dinge zu stecken, sondern einen ,,einen Erden-Kopf, der der E Sinn schafft" (Za I, Von den Hinterweltlern) zu haben. Zuweilen bezeichnet E die konkrete Umgebung der Menscheit auf diesem Planeten und das zukünftige Heim → des Übermenschen genauer.


[Introduction To] In The Eye Of The Storm: Contemporary Theater In Barcelona, Sharon G. Feldman Jan 2009

[Introduction To] In The Eye Of The Storm: Contemporary Theater In Barcelona, Sharon G. Feldman

Bookshelf

Barcelona, the cultural epicenter of Catalunya, is presently experiencing the most dynamic and polemical period in its modern theater history. It is the commanding hub of an energetic theater scene that in recent years has witnessed an exuberant outpouring of new dramatists, a steady crescendo in theater attendance, and a continual increase in the international presence of Catalan directors, playwrights, and companies. The path along which the contemporary Catalan stage has struggled to recover and reconstitute the professional legitimacy and visibility that it lost during the Franco dictatorship has been a complex process. In the Eye of the Storm: Contemporary …


El Teatro De La Época Democrática, Sharon G. Feldman Jan 2009

El Teatro De La Época Democrática, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

La trayectoria del teatro contemporáneo en España es una historia de supervivencia. Entre las múltiples capas y campos que componen el paisaje teatral de la época democrática, la palabra «crisis» quizá sea la que se repite con más frecuencia, como si fuera una especie de mantra que persiste en la punta de la lengua, lista para ser pronunciada con tanta facilidad e incluso con tanto entusiasmo por tantos profesionales de las artes escénicas que habría que preguntarse si podría ser un milagro que la revolución tecnológica contemporánea -junto con los dilemas perpetuos que han surgido en torno a las subvenciones …


Puentes Teatrales, Montajes "De Ida Y Vuelta": Argentinos A La Conquista De La Escena Barcelonesa, Sharon G. Feldman Jan 2009

Puentes Teatrales, Montajes "De Ida Y Vuelta": Argentinos A La Conquista De La Escena Barcelonesa, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Throughout the present decade, a succession of playwrights, directors and theatre artists from Argentina have gone about leaving their imprint upon the Barcelona theatrical landscape (and by extension, that of Catalunya), an artistically fertile ground that, since the 1980s (and since the period of the democratic transition), has exhibited an undeniable yearning to breathe fresh air, to imbue itself with new aesthetic paradigms and become an essential point of reference within the world of European drama. Today Barcelona finds itself immersed in the most dynamic and extraordinary period in its modern theatre history, with an abundant outpouring of new drama …


Josep M. Benet I Jornet (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman Jan 2009

Josep M. Benet I Jornet (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

L'aportació de Josep M. Benet i Jornet (Barcelona 1940) al renaixement del teatre de text és indiscutible. Es podria afirmar que Benet i Jornet és el dramaturg en vida més reconegut i estrenat de Catalunya; tanmateix, els estudis crítics a l’entorn de la seva obra han demostrat que la seva trajectòria creativa consisteix també en una història àrdua de lluita constant per defensar i reivindicar la literatura dramàtica en català i la figura de l'autor teatral en general. Com passa sovint amb els autors teatrals catalans contemporanis, gran part dels estudis dedicats al teatre de Benet es concentren en diversos …

Teatre (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana)), Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

L'activitat teatral entre 1959 i 1991 està marcada pels intents de creació d'un teatre nacional a partir dels grups independents i, després del 1975, amb el suport institucional. Moltes de les iniciatives del teatre independent, allunyades del teatre espanyol comercial, professional i/o «oficial» del moment, tingueren l'origen en l'Agrupació Dramàtica de Barcelona (establerta el 1955 per Ferran Soldevila, amb un divers grup d'artistes), el Teatre Viu (creat el 1956 per Ricard Salvat, Miquel Porter i Elena Estellés) i l'Escola d'Art Dramàtic Adrià Gual, que havien fundat Salvat i Maria Aurèlia Capmany el 1960. En aquests nuclis es formaren Josep Anton …


Introduction (Special Cluster On The Catalan Stage, Modern And Contemporary), Sharon G. Feldman Jan 2009

Introduction (Special Cluster On The Catalan Stage, Modern And Contemporary), Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

At an international symposium devoted to the contemporary Catalan stage, which was held at the Institut del Teatre de la Diputació de Barcelona in 2005, director Toni Casares observed how the Catalan theater scene in its post-Franco evolution had, already endured a decade aimed at clarifying its cultural politics. "És l'epoca del teatre institucionalitzat o en vies d'institucionalització," he declared, referring to the decade comprising the years 1985 to 1995. It seemed an almost ironic observation at the time, as any attempt at institutionalization was certainly not a new endeavor for the Catalan theater scene; yet, Casares was also quick …


Rodolf Sirera (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman Jan 2009

Rodolf Sirera (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

En aquest clima de revulsió cosmopolita, Rodolf Sirera (València 1948) és el màxim representant de la dramatúrgia textual del País Valencia. De fet hi ha una relació molt notable entre, per una banda, el desenvolupament contemporani del teatre valencià i, per l'altra, els esforços i temptatives de Rodolf Sirera i el seu germà Josep Lluís de promoure, valorar i sostenir les arts escèniques en aquest país (Bou 1988d). Com assenyala John London al seu resum detallat de l'activitat teatral dels germans Sirera, si l'autor teatral català a Barcelona es trobava obligat a enfrontar-se amb nombroses dificultats, la situació a València …

[Introduction To] Joseph Smith Jr.: Reappraisals After Two Centuries, Terryl Givens, Reid L. Nielson Dec 2008

[Introduction To] Joseph Smith Jr.: Reappraisals After Two Centuries, Terryl Givens, Reid L. Nielson

Bookshelf

Mormon founder Joseph Smith is one of the most controversial figures of nineteenth-century American history, and a virtually inexhaustible subject for analysis. In this volume, fifteen scholars offer essays on how to interpret and understand Smith and his legacy. Including essays by both Mormons and non-Mormons, this wide-ranging collection is the only available survey of contemporary scholarly opinion on the extraordinary man who started one of the fastest growing religious traditions in the modern world.


Grace Through Love : An Examination Of Milton's Monism, Mortalism, And The Puritan Ideals Of Desire As Reflected In Sonnet 23, Leslie Naomi Wyatt Dec 2008

Grace Through Love : An Examination Of Milton's Monism, Mortalism, And The Puritan Ideals Of Desire As Reflected In Sonnet 23, Leslie Naomi Wyatt

Master's Theses

This thesis examines Sonnet 23, especially in concern to: 1) Milton’s adherence to monism, a philosophical and theological position that he derived from his reading of Rabbinical approaches to the Old Testament; 2) His adherence to the related doctrine of mortalism, which held that death entailed the death, until resurrection of both body and soul; and 3) Milton’s interest in the way certain Puritan thinkers idealized desire for aspects of the world’s beauty, especially desire for one’s spouse, and how, particularly in the process of mourning, such desires could foster a stronger bond with God. The thesis also looks at …


The Endangered Representation Of Sexual Violence In Sarah Kane's Blasted, Dina Zhurba Dec 2008

The Endangered Representation Of Sexual Violence In Sarah Kane's Blasted, Dina Zhurba

Master's Theses

In Blasted, Kane represents how incidents of rape highlight, exacerbate and solidify the unevenness of power distribution between men and women in the modern world and provides a new perspective at what we might call “rape in general” – a transhistorical phenomenon of rape as a practice of violence towards the female victim. Through a detailed analysis of the unique representational circumstances of the multiple scenes of rape, such as Cate’s meaningful absence in Ian’s scene of rape, the author of the essay comes to a conclusion that rape is and remains an engendered practice. However, along with reaffirming …


The Reluctant Colonization Of The Falkland Islands, 1833-1851 : A Study Of British Imperialism In The Southwest Atlantic, Shannon Warnick Dec 2008

The Reluctant Colonization Of The Falkland Islands, 1833-1851 : A Study Of British Imperialism In The Southwest Atlantic, Shannon Warnick

Master's Theses

After the Napoleonic Wars, British leaders increasingly objected to large burdensome formal annexations. Hence, when South American markets opened in the 1820s British leaders considered using nearby island bases to ward off regional rivals. Britain therefore occupied the Falkland Islands in 1833. Despite governing the world’s strongest industrial and naval power however, British leaders neglected the Falklands’ progress as a colony from 1833 to 1851. Dogmatic faith in “efficiency” and free trade in the 1840s led to modest commercial progress by largely unfettered private interests in the islands, but led to little improvement in defense or society. This study uses …

On The Concept Of A Morally Relevant Harm, David Lefkowitz Dec 2008

On The Concept Of A Morally Relevant Harm, David Lefkowitz

Philosophy Faculty Publications

In this paper I explicate and defend the concept of a morally relevant harm. This concept figures prominently in common-sense and contractualist moral reasoning concerning cases where an agent can prevent harm to members of a large group or a small one, but not both. When the two harms to which members of these groups are exposed are morally relevant to one another, an agent is permitted (or perhaps required) to take into account the number of people he can save. When the harms are irrelevant, an agent should not even consider preventing the lesser harm, regardless of how many …
