Library Videos

Pope’s ‘Suidas’ is not a man but a work, The Suda (or Stronghold): a massive 10^th century Byzantine Greek historical encyclopedia of the ancient Mediterranean world, covering the whole of Greek and Roman antiquity and also including Biblical and Christian material.

Preserved in several medieval manuscripts, it has been edited and published several times since the end of the 14th century in traditional hard-copy scholarly editions, most recently that of Ada Adler (Teubner, 5 volumes: 1928-1938, reprinted 1971). The Suda On Line (SOL) project, begun in 1998 as part of the Stoa Consortium, opens up this stronghold of …

Competing Discourses On Hilltribes: Media Representation Of Ethnic Minorities In Thailand, Krisadawan Hongladarom

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

Ethnic minontles in Northern Thailand have been characterized as hill dwellers who grow opium and make a living from slash-and-bum farming3 The terms chao khao 'hilltribe people' or 'mountain people,' chaothai phukhao 'hilltribal Thai,' and rasadorn thai phukhao 'hilltribal Thai citizens' call upon such names as Lahti, Akha, Lisu, Hmong, Yao, or Karen, though the latter group do not usually live in the highlands4 Like ethnic minorities

The Media, Cultural Politics And The Nation-State, Ubonrat Siriyuvasak

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

In this paper I want to look at the constitutionalisation of media reform as part of the political and cultural transformation process in contemporary Thai society. The formation of media space as public space is at the heart of the development of a civil society in which a fully democratised public sphere is the inevitable infrastructure. It is arguable that the media expansion during the economic boom period did not actually signify a greater degree of freedom of communication for all. Rather, it demonstrated the economic expression of the middle classes and of global capitalists who are in a better …

Homrong Sakura: A Composition For The New Millennium, Bussakorn Samrongthong

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

"Homrong Sakura" is a new composition by Bussakorn sumrongthong completed in Nay 1999. This composition is an example of a Thai traditional overture intending to express a warm rapport and collaboration between the people of Thailand and Japan during the current financial crisis in Asia.

Brecht And Songs, Jeffrey Gilliam

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

It may come as a surprise that Brecht has highly developed and original ideas about how music should serve the text in his songs. Even more surprising is the willingness of these professional composers with whom he collaborated, notably Kurt Weill, Paul Dessau, and Hanns Eisler, to accept Brecht as a musical mentor. The present document seeks to show specific ways in which these composers applied Brecht's ideas on song organization, rhythm, and melodic shape. The study also shows how Dessau and Eisler adopted Brecht's musical aesthetics as the cornerstone of their careers as composers. Weill, however, turned to America …

Concepts And Images Of The Future In Recent German Poetry, Reinhold Grimm

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

German poetry has been obsessed with concepts and images of the future for decades. The present article concentrates on the pertinent contributions by the two leading German poets, Gunter Kunert and Hans Magnus since the late 1980s. What they portray is, on the whole, a rather gloomy picture, albeit not without a bit of redeemding irony.

The Possibility Of Using Kodaly Method To Teach Music Literacy In Thailand, Twatchai Narkwong

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

The Kodaly method of teaching music literary was used by the writer to teach Western music notation to elementary students, at the laboratory school of Kasetsart University in Thailand for six years. The students achieved good competencies in reading music, singing and playing the recorder. The method was afterwards disseminated to music teachers of municipal schools in Bangkok and was accepted. It seems that the method will spread further to other groups of music teachers.

Popular Techniques Of Buddhist Meditation As Apparatus For Mental Health Development In Thailand, Orawan Pilunowad

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

During the Chatchai Government in the 1980's, Thailand had witnessed unprecedented growth in the country's economy. In 1997, however, the economic prosperity that the Thai had enjoyed blasted like bubbles. This economic downturn had resulted in an unemployment of over 2 million people. While most people talked about side of this economic crisis, the author saw some glimmering bright side of the downturn. This was the time, the author argued, to heal the national illness by using culturally-based therapy: Buddhist meditation. This illness was of two kinds: (1) depression and anxiety from being "losers" in the turmoil; (2) materialism and …

Woman/Warriors: Dual Images In Modern Thai Literature, Suvanna Kriengkraipetch

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

This paper aims at studying the image of women in modern Thai literature, with emphasis on analysis of the image of woman and the image of warrior. The main concept is that the two images, which seem contradictory, have usually appeared together in Thai literature in the past as well as today. One image is oftentimes obvious while the other is underlying. Women in Thai literature is, thus, present dual images, while the images of the ideal women emphasizes womanhood which is inferior in status to manhood in all respects. This study makes use of the didactic religious literature of …

Why Were Chemical Weapons Not Used In World War Ii?, Jeffrey W. Legro

Political Science Faculty Publications

Chemical warfare had played an important enough role in World War I that there was widespread expectation of its use in World War II. Certainly, Germany's army and its chemists had no qualms about adding poison gas to the Third Reich's arsenal. When war began, however, many of the latest chemical warfare agents were not available in deliverable form. The early successes of conventional-war making, combined with an increasing shortage of raw material, led Germany to deemphasize gas warfare even apart from the fear of Allied retaliation that significantly influenced at least the armed forces.

Consumed By Faith: The Development Of Christian Fundamentalism And Its Applications In Contemporary Society, Laura M. Gagne

Honors Theses

My research aims to understand how and why fundamentalists justify violence against people who do not fit their profile of "righteous" or "saved" persons, such as abortion doctors and clinic workers, gays and lesbians, and Jews. The first section of this paper travels through the history of fundamentalism since its origins in the British and American apocalipticism, or belief in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. However, my history of Protestant Fundamentalism in the United States will focus on the ways in which Fundamentalism developed in response to many changes in American social structure. I interpret Fundamentalism as an anti-modern …

A Boyhood At Ashland, Hjalmar Kjems

The Bridge

At last the train stopped at Grant in Michigan and Father said, "This is where we get off." The sun was shining in a cloudless sky, and friendly people gathered around us and bade us welcome in Danish, but a Danish that had a strange sound. Outside of the station, there was a wagon to which was harnessed a wonderful little horse. It was yellow with a black muzzle, mane, and tail. Never in our lives had we seen such a beautiful horse. Father said it was ours and we were to ride on it, or with it hitched to …
