Selfhood And The Search For An Identity: Explaining The Emergence Of The Nineteenth-Century Holiness Movement And Early Church Of The Nazarene, Paul R. George Jr. Dec 2004

Selfhood And The Search For An Identity: Explaining The Emergence Of The Nineteenth-Century Holiness Movement And Early Church Of The Nazarene, Paul R. George Jr.

Dissertations

This dissertation seeks to explain the emergence of the nineteenth-century Holiness Movement and subsequent organization of a national holiness church asthe result of a reconstruction of the cultural-linguistic system of John Wesley. In the process of contact and exchange with American religious pluralism, Wesley's doctrine of Christian perfection and his system of societies were reconstructed by charismatic leaders who selected discursive and nondiscursive elements which they found efficacious. Theological and social changes in the Methodist Episcopal Church compelled holiness advocates to emphasize theinstantaneous aspect of Wesley's doctrine of Christian perfection (entire sanctification) and construct a ritual form which had the …

The Development Of Mexican Nonproliferation Export Controls Cits Special Report, Jonathan Benjamin-Alvarado Dec 2004

The Development Of Mexican Nonproliferation Export Controls Cits Special Report, Jonathan Benjamin-Alvarado

Latino/Latin American Studies Reports

This report by OLLAS assistant director Jonathan Benjamin-Alvarado is part of a developing research and outreach project with the Center for International Trade and Security at the University of Georgia. It involved working with Mexican government officials to design and implement national responses to international agreements and obligations to ensure command and control of critical nuclear, biological, and chemical materials in Mexico. Dr. Benjamin-Alvarado conducted a comprehensive survey, which he administered in Argentina and Cuba previously, later in 2005 to assess Mexican export controls.


La Vivienda Colectiva De Los Yanomami, Graziano Gasparini, Luise Margolies Dec 2004

La Vivienda Colectiva De Los Yanomami, Graziano Gasparini, Luise Margolies

Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America

This article on the shapono, the traditional dwelling of the Yanomami, is taken from our book, Arquitectura Indígena de Venezuela. The Yanomami are one of the three indigenous groups of the tropical forest region of lowland Venezuela who build large collective dwellings that house the entire community. In contrast to the neighboring Ye’kwana and Wôthuha, who inhabit closed structures located near large waterways, the Yanomami are forest people whose traditional shapono is a structure opening onto a large central patio. Here, we examine the cultural division of space into private, semiprivate, and public areas in the context of Yanomami …


Living A "Convenient Fiction", Anne Chambers, Keith S. Chambers Dec 2004

Living A "Convenient Fiction", Anne Chambers, Keith S. Chambers

Pacific Studies

Long-term fieldwork offers a unique perspective on the complex, interactive process of interpretation on which ethnography depends. Through shared experiences, the ethnographer(s) and host community collaborate in constructing reciprocal identities tailored to their respective needs and the local situation. The mutual expectations and assumptions grounding this relationship become more visible as they are defined by subsequent events and encounters over the years. Our article analyzes some significant and turns in our thirty-year relationship with the Tuvaluan atoll community of Nanumea. In initially defining us as "of the island," the community established us in a local category' resonant with key emic …


Contextualizing Histories: Our Rotuman Experience, Alan Howard, Jan Rensel Dec 2004

Contextualizing Histories: Our Rotuman Experience, Alan Howard, Jan Rensel

Pacific Studies

Alan conducted fieldwork on Rotuma in 1959—1960 and did not return until 1987, this time with Jan. Together, we have returned nine times since, for visits ranging from one week to six months. During this period the "field" has changed. About four-fifths of Rotumans now live abroad. We have visited Rotuman communities in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the U.S. mainland, and Europe, and we keep in touch with Rotumans via the Internet. Prolonged involvement has resulted in a shift away from a scientific generalizing viewpoint to one emphasizing context and personal histories. It has also forced us to reexamine our …


Returning To The Field: I'M Older And They're Wiser, Juliana Flinn Dec 2004

Returning To The Field: I'M Older And They're Wiser, Juliana Flinn

Pacific Studies

Several processes of change and of human development affect the process of fieldwork over time. The concerns, issues, interests, relationships, coping strategies, motivations, and even personality of a mature adult are not the same as those of a younger adult. Consequently, fieldwork conducted on Pollap Atoll in Micronesia in 1998—1999 differed from dissertation research conducted in the same place eighteen years earlier. Changes since 1980 in the Pollapese way of life, their relationships with outsiders, and their understandings of anthropology contributed to a different experience, as did my heightened sense of confidence, decreased anxiety, and increased faith in participant observation.


Life In Dis-Place: Re-Searching Processes Of Imagining With Enewetak-Ujelang People, Laurence Marshall Carucci Dec 2004

Life In Dis-Place: Re-Searching Processes Of Imagining With Enewetak-Ujelang People, Laurence Marshall Carucci

Pacific Studies

The current article attempts to outline the way in which ongoing research with the Enewetak-Ujelang community and with other Marshall Islanders over a period of nearly three decades has required the author to reformulate taken for granted ideas about "culture," "the field," and "field research" as well as presuppositions about self/other and about ethnographic writing. Not only has the shape of "the field" shifted substantially during this time period, becoming much more multifaceted and multilocational, so too, the identity of the author has been recontoured many times over by members of Enewetak-Ujelang communities. Therefore, neither "field" nor "fieldworker" are ever …

Films And Other Trials: Reflections On Long-Term Fieldwork Among The Maisin, Papua New Guinea, John Barker Dec 2004

Films And Other Trials: Reflections On Long-Term Fieldwork Among The Maisin, Papua New Guinea, John Barker

Pacific Studies

This essay is a personal reflection on my developing relationship with the Maisin of Papua New Guinea from December 1981 to the present. I discuss my initial research focus and how my early fieldwork helped me to better understand the ways the Maisin have responded to changes in their community over the past twenty years, particularly in dealing with outsiders. I contrast my understandings of Maisin society with portrayals in two documentary films made in the community, Anthropology on Trial (1983) and Changing Ground (2001). I argue that the relationship between anthropologists and host communities fuses intellectual engagement with a …

Divine Minds: The Cognitive Foundations Of God And Religion, Todd Tremlin Dec 2004

Divine Minds: The Cognitive Foundations Of God And Religion, Todd Tremlin

Dissertations

Understanding how human brains work bears directly on the study of religion. Introducing the new "cognitive science of religion," this dissertation explains how natural mental processes that shape everyday human thought are also responsible for the arising and persistence of religious ideas and for the content and development of religions. The central claim of this work is that understanding the origin and features of god concepts and the religious systems that form around them requires an understanding of the adapted mind. This argument unfolds in two parts. The first explores the cognitive foundations ofsupernatural beings. It discusses in both evolutionary …


Divine Aseity, Divine Freedom : A Conceptual Problem For Edwardsian-Calvinism, James K. Beilby Dec 2004

Divine Aseity, Divine Freedom : A Conceptual Problem For Edwardsian-Calvinism, James K. Beilby

Biblical and Theological Studies Faculty Works

The purpose of this paper is to consider whether the Calvinist's typical understanding of why God created the world is consistent with the assertion of God's independence and self-sufficiency—an attribute theologians have labeled "aseity." The essence of the problem is this: the Calvinist's typical assertion that God's fundamental purpose in creation is to demonstrate his glory seems to entail that God have an "other" to whom his glory must be demonstrated. But if this is the case, then God is dependent in some sense on this "other" for the demonstration of his glory and, ironically, less sovereign than in a …

Who Wants A Buffalo? South Dakota's Fenced Herds And Experiments In Management, 1901–1952, David Nesheim Dec 2004

Who Wants A Buffalo? South Dakota's Fenced Herds And Experiments In Management, 1901–1952, David Nesheim

Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

By 1890, the number of North American bison (Bison bison) in the United Sates was reduced to about 500 animals. At that time, a few private ranchers started small herds from remnant survivors of the hide trade. Fredrick Dupree saved nine calves on his ranch near the Moreau River in South Dakota.

Between 1901 and 1913, three fenced preserves were created in the state. James Philip, a Pierre rancher, purchased the Dupree herd in 1901. The state of South Dakota created Custer State Game Preserve in 1913. The Federal government, in concert with the American Bison Society, created the Wind …

The Concept And Its Double: Power And Powerlessness In Hegel's Subjective Logic, Lain Macdonald Dec 2004

The Concept And Its Double: Power And Powerlessness In Hegel's Subjective Logic, Lain Macdonald

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article explores the duality of power and powerlessness in Hegel's Subjective Logic, highlighting the tension between the Concept's absolute power and its susceptibility to powerlessness. Hegel portrays the Concept as an infinitely powerful force that unifies diversity through self-related negativity, yet acknowledges that reason can be powerless when fixated on determinate concepts, leading to one-sidedness. This duality suggests that while reason has the capacity for self-correction, it perpetually confronts the challenge of abstraction and determinateness.

The Types Of Universals And The Forms Of Judgment, Richard Dien Winfield Dec 2004

The Types Of Universals And The Forms Of Judgment, Richard Dien Winfield

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article argues that the forms of judgment are central to objective thought and knowledge, critiquing Kant for failing to account for their diversity and proposing a systematic approach to understanding judgment starting from the concept itself. It explores Hegel's differentiation of judgment forms through self-development, emphasizing the necessity of understanding universals and their interrelations.


The End Of Hegel's Logic: Absolute Idea As Absolute Method, Angelica Nuzzo Dec 2004

The End Of Hegel's Logic: Absolute Idea As Absolute Method, Angelica Nuzzo

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the conclusion of Hegel's Wissenschaft der Logik, focusing on the transition from the absolute idea to the absolute method. It argues that the absolute method is not merely the culmination of the logical process but is essential for establishing the speculative science of logic, which underpins Hegel's philosophical system. The absolute method rescues the logical development from non-dialectical thinking, providing a synoptic reconstruction that justifies the necessity of the system and leads to Realphilosophie.
