Purity, Panic, And Pasiphaë In Brother To Dragons, John Burt Jan 2005

Purity, Panic, And Pasiphaë In Brother To Dragons, John Burt

Robert Penn Warren Studies

Brother to Dragons is a poem that turns chiefly upon guilt over racism and slavery, but many of its most intense passages concern sexual guilt. The poem returns obsessively to the subject of sex because sex provides it with a way of thinking about how the highest and lowest aspect of human nature are inextricably bound together in it. The inextricable duality of love is a model for a similar inextricable duality the poem discusses in political idealism. The way the desire for purity shades into sadism is a model for the ways efforts to purify the political world also …

“The Question Of Natural Rights In Aristotle And The “Necessary” Connection Between Rights And Responsibilities: A Response To Jeppe Von Platz.”, Audrey Anton Jan 2005

“The Question Of Natural Rights In Aristotle And The “Necessary” Connection Between Rights And Responsibilities: A Response To Jeppe Von Platz.”, Audrey Anton

Philosophy & Religion Faculty Publications

While the idea of attributing a natural rights component to Aristotle's philosophy is indeed anachronistic, it is not entirely futile. Fred D. Miller has proposed ample evidence and analysis supporting the idea that Aristotle had something like natural rights in mind. Yet, several scholars object to Miller's position for various good reasons beyond the theory's anachronicity. While there may be just cause for rejecting Miller's position, it does not appear that von Platz has been successful in this endeavor. Several of von Platz's proposals are incoherent, and those that are indeed sound are rooted in a modern conception of what …

Hillbilly: A Cultural History Of An American Icon, Anthony Harkins Jan 2005

Hillbilly: A Cultural History Of An American Icon, Anthony Harkins

History Faculty Book Gallery

In this pioneering work of cultural history, historian Anthony Harkins argues that the hillbilly-in his various guises of "briar hopper," "brush ape," "ridge runner," and "white trash"-has been viewed by mainstream Americans simultaneously as a violent degenerate who threatens the modern order and as a keeper of traditional values of family, home, and physical production, and thus symbolic of a nostalgic past free of the problems of contemporary life. "Hillbilly" signifies both rugged individualism and stubborn backwardness, strong family and kin networks but also inbreeding and bloody feuds. Spanning film, literature, and the entire expanse of American popular culture, from …

Understanding Whittier; Or, Warren In The Aftermath Of Modernism, Mark Royden Winchell Jan 2005

Understanding Whittier; Or, Warren In The Aftermath Of Modernism, Mark Royden Winchell

Robert Penn Warren Studies

Although the textbooks he edited with Cleanth Brooks virtually defined the New Criticism,Warren’s critical essays moved beyond close reading and frequently challenged the standards of high modernism when it came to assessing literary excellence. This was particularly true during the last three decades of his life, when his poetry also reflected a turn from strict modernism. His discovery ofWhittier’s poetry in the 1970s revealed new depth and unsuspected complexity in the work of that “fireside sentimentalist” and demonstrates how farWarrenwas prepared to go in fashioning a “newer” criticism.
