Versions Of America: Reading American Literature For Identity And Difference, Raj G. Chetty Aug 2006

Versions Of America: Reading American Literature For Identity And Difference, Raj G. Chetty

Theses and Dissertations

My paper examines how American authors of the South Asian Diaspora (Indian-American or South Asian American) can be read 1) as simply American and 2) without regard to ethnicity. I develop this argument using American authors Jhumpa Lahiri, a first generation American of Bengali-Indian descent, and Bharati Mukherjee, an American of Bengali-Indian origin. I borrow from Deepika Bahri's materialist aesthetics in postcolonialism (in turn borrowed from members of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory) and include theoretical insights from Rey Chow, Graham Huggan, and R. Radhakrishnan regarding multiculturalism, identity politics, and diaspora studies. Huggan and Radhakrishnan's insights are especially useful …

Übergänge Zwischen Künsten Und Kulturen.’ Die Heine-Schumann Tagung In Düsseldorf, Solibakke Ivan Karl, Florian Trabert

Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics - All Scholarship

Heinrich Heine und Robert Schumann begegneten sich nur für wenige Stunden am 8. Mai 1828 in München. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte der bereits berühmte Dichter seine Heimatstadt Düsseldorf seit einem guten Jahrzehnt verlassen, während der 17jährige Komponist noch nicht ahnen konnte, dass seine musikalische Laufbahn einst in der gleichen Stadt enden sollte.

Epistemology And The Wikipedia, P.D. Magnus Aug 2006

Epistemology And The Wikipedia, P.D. Magnus

Philosophy Faculty Scholarship

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that is written and edited entirely by visitors to its website. I argue that we are misled when we think of it in the same epistemic category with traditional general encyclopedias. An empirical assessment of its reliability reveals that it varies widely from topic to topic. So any particular claim found in it cannot be relied on based on its source. I survey some methods that we use in assessing specific claims and argue that the structure of the Wikipedia frustrates them

South Kingstown Ri: New Zoning For An Historic Mill, Maggie Jones, Richard Barringer Aug 2006

South Kingstown Ri: New Zoning For An Historic Mill, Maggie Jones, Richard Barringer

Planning

The village of Peace Dale in the town of South Kingstown, Rhode Island, developed around several mills that commenced operations in the 1800s. One mill, known as the Palisades, is still partially active and in excellent condition, but much of its square footage is unutilized. A citizens’ group of artists and business people joined with the mill owners and the town of South Kingstown to develop new zoning regulations to make more flexible the permitted uses for the mill site. The proposed zoning will allow the mill complex to feature a mix of retail, residential, and manufacturing uses, while preserving …

It covered the State of Maine only. The list was begun and maintained for many years by Jean Vermette in Bangor, and later operated by Zack Paakkonen of Portland.

The Ethical And Aesthetic Defense Of Animal Analogs: A Reply To Turner, Eric B. Litwack Aug 2006

The Ethical And Aesthetic Defense Of Animal Analogs: A Reply To Turner, Eric B. Litwack

Between the Species

Susan M. Turner (2005) has argued that the use of animal analogs ought to be considered categorically unethical on deontological, or rights-grounds, and that some but not all animal analogs are unethical on utilitarian grounds. I claim, on the contrary, that the use of most, if not all animal analogs can be justified from both the utilitarian and animal rights perspectives. Indeed, I believe that a convincing case is to be made for the thesis that animal analogs ought to be promoted actively, on ethical grounds. I hold this to be true of both food and clothing replacement analogs, although …

On The Moral Status Of Humanized Chimeras And The Concept Of Human Dignity, An Ravelingien, Johan Braeckman, Mike Legge Aug 2006

On The Moral Status Of Humanized Chimeras And The Concept Of Human Dignity, An Ravelingien, Johan Braeckman, Mike Legge

Between the Species

Recent advances in the technology of creating chimeras have evoked controversy in policy debates. At centre of controversy is the fear that a substantial contribution of human cells or genes in crucial areas of the animal’s body may at some point render the animal more humanlike than any other animals we know today. Authors who have commented on or contributed to policy debates specify that chimeras which would be too humanlike would have an altered moral status and threaten our notion of ‘human dignity’. This setting offers a productive opportunity to test the notion of human dignity and to emphasize …

Adult And Child Production Of Quechua Relative Clauses, Ellen Courtney Aug 2006

Adult And Child Production Of Quechua Relative Clauses, Ellen Courtney

Selected Works Temporary Series

This study investigates the production of Quechua relative clauses by Peruvian adults and children, aged 2;8-4;7. Quechua relative clauses may be internally-headed, externally-headed, or headless. Previous studies (e.g., O’Grady, 2003), suggested two outcomes: children will have less difficulty producing subject-gap relative clauses than other types; and, compared to adults, children will produce more headed relatives, especially internally-headed relative clauses. A procedure was used to elicit production of two relative clauses for each of four types: subject-gap, direct object-gap, non-direct object-gap, possessor-gap. Participants produced all types with equal ease, although children produced more errors; children produced comparatively more headless relatives, and …

Learning To Advocate For Educational Equity In A Teacher Credential Program, Steven Z. Athanases, Kathleen J. Martin Aug 2006

Learning To Advocate For Educational Equity In A Teacher Credential Program, Steven Z. Athanases, Kathleen J. Martin

Ethnic Studies

Drawing on a 5-year program-wide investigation of ways preservice teachers learn to teach to diversity, this study uses focus groups of graduates to illuminate survey results of their feeling well prepared to advocate for equity in classrooms and schools. Offering suggestions for improvement, graduates nonetheless reported two broad categories of program strength. The first was the value of infusion of culture, language, and equity content in coursework. Themes in strong coursework included focus on culturally responsive, equity-focused pedagogy; preparation to teach English language learners; developing cultural knowledge and sensitivity; and learning advocacy beyond the classroom. Faculty taught and modeled these …


Nonverbal Communication Cues In The Electronic Medium, Theresa M. Flesher Aug 2006

Nonverbal Communication Cues In The Electronic Medium, Theresa M. Flesher

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

Nonverbal language cues provide the bulk of meaning in most communication exchanges. There are many possible challenges to receiving and understanding nonverbal language cues, perhaps the challenge with the largest impact is the use of electronic messages as a primary means of communication. First, this author examined nonverbal communication and the possible inhibitors to receiving and understanding cues. Through the use of a survey, it was found that e-mail has become a primary means of communication. Also, there was a relationship between time spent on messages and clarity of messages. Finally, the participants (n= 178) reported that irrelevant messages are …

The Green World Of Dystopian Fiction, Martin Hensley Aug 2006

The Green World Of Dystopian Fiction, Martin Hensley

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Northrop Frye was the first theorist to develop the green world archetype; Frye used the term to refer to a recurring motif in Shakespearean comedy. In several of Shakespeare's comedies, the protagonists leave the civilized world and venture into the green world, or nature, to escape from the irrational law of society, which is the case in such comedies as As You Like It and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Elements of the green world can also be found in Shakespearean tragedy, where the natural retreat serves as a temporary escape for the protagonists. Such a green world exists in three …
