Locke And The Problem Of Toleration, Lois M. Eveleth Jan 2007

Locke And The Problem Of Toleration, Lois M. Eveleth

Faculty and Staff - Articles & Papers

More than ever before, being able to draw a distinction between the tolerable and the intolerable is necessary. Unfortunately the traditional understanding, as identified with the Enlightenment view first articulated by John Locke, presents merely formalistic criteria. Lacking substantive criteria, our contemporary understanding of toleration is inadequate to our needs.


Bleeding Albina: A History Of Community Disinvestment, 1940‐2000, Karen J. Gibson Jan 2007

Bleeding Albina: A History Of Community Disinvestment, 1940‐2000, Karen J. Gibson

Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations

Portland, Oregon, is celebrated in the planning literature as one of the nation’s most livable cities, yet there is very little scholarship on its small Black community. Using census data, oral histories, archival documents, and newspaper accounts, this study analyzes residential segregation and neighborhood disinvestment over a 60-year period. Without access to capital, housing conditions worsened to the point that abandonment became a major problem. By 1980, many of the conditions typically associated with large cities were present: high unemployment, poor schooling, and an underground economy that evolved into crack cocaine, gangs, and crime. Yet some neighborhood activists argued that …


From The Cloister To The World: Mainstreaming Early Modern French Convent Writing: An État Présent, Thomas M. Carr Jan 2007

From The Cloister To The World: Mainstreaming Early Modern French Convent Writing: An État Présent, Thomas M. Carr

French Language and Literature Papers

The article is an overview on recent scholarship dealing Ancien Régime convent writing. Although nuns constitute a large percentage of the seventeenth-century women authors whose writings were published, except for a few figures like Marie de l’Incarnation Guyart or the Port-Royal nuns, their texts have been largely ignored, even by scholars engaged in the retrieval of women’s writing during the period. This is in contrast to Italian and Hispanic studies, where the contribution of convent writing is acknowledged as central. The état present discusses reasons for this neglect, the methodological challenges and perspectives for further research, along with a 120 …

Now & Then (Volume 23, Issue 02, 2007), Center Of Excellence For Appalachian Studies And Services, East Tennessee State University

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine, Volume 23, Issue 02, published in 2007. The theme of this issue is Wildness. This issue considers the idea of wildness in Appalachian life, nature, and imagination. Through stories of animals, landscapes, and unconventional personalities, contributors reflect on the unpredictable forces that shape both the natural world and human experience, from encounters with wolves, crows, bears, and elusive mountain creatures to memories of rebellious musicians, herbal traditions, and youthful mischief. Essays, fiction, and poetry together explore wildness as both a literal presence in the region's environment and a symbolic expression of independence, mystery, …


The Politics Of Discourse In Sexual Abuse Narratives, Chutima Pragatwutisarn Jan 2007

The Politics Of Discourse In Sexual Abuse Narratives, Chutima Pragatwutisarn

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

Although sex is considered something private and personal, telling sexual stories is by no means a personal matter. The difficulty faced by sexual abuse victims who want to tell their stories is due to the ways in which the meanings of sexual abuse, the abuser and the victim are discursively constructed by the dominant culture. As a result, a tension between the individual desire to tell stories and the social injunction to silence is invariably found in women's narratives of sexual abuse. This paper explores how discourses of the dominant culture discourage women from breaking their silence about sexual abuse …


Phra Ram Chadok As The Attalaksana Literature Of Laotian People, Niyada Laosunthon Jan 2007

Phra Ram Chadok As The Attalaksana Literature Of Laotian People, Niyada Laosunthon

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

The importance of Phra Ram''s Account or Ramayana is not limited to mainland India, but has extended into other lands which have been influenced by Indian culture, such as Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Kampuchea, and Indonesia. Each of the lands mentioned above possesses her own version of Phra Ram''s Account, each describing similar heroic deeds, especially the victory in the war against the unrighteous, the cause of which stems from the abduction of Nang Sida, the beautiful wife of Phra Ram. The differences in these accounts lie in the behavioral details of characters, or additional themes and episodes which vary according …


Nathalie Sarraute: Tropisms And The Drama Of Logos, Nipaporn Tirasait Jan 2007

Nathalie Sarraute: Tropisms And The Drama Of Logos, Nipaporn Tirasait

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

Nathalie Sarraute created a new style of writing, renouncing the accepted literary forms by discarding conventional ideas about plot, chronology, and characterization. Research in this area has consistently shown that, in Sarraute, language is at the heart of her drama. However, this essay emphasizes that she played with the power of words and silences to make us hear far beyond the social surface of discourse and grasp what is really going on in the minds of the interlocutors. Against the structural linguistics of her time, Sarraute concentrated on every phoneme, every syllable of a word or an expression, testing and …


Another Look At Aspect In Thai, Pranee Kullavanijaya, Walter Bisang Jan 2007

Another Look At Aspect In Thai, Pranee Kullavanijaya, Walter Bisang

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

The aim of the paper is twofold. The first aim is to analyse aspect in Thai in the framework of the selection-theory approach developed by Breu and Sasse (1991). The second aim is to study all possible co-occurrences of each of the three aspect markers: lέєw, kamlaŋ, yùu with the four classes of verbs and with the verbs occurring with other strategies within the five classes of states of affairs. It was found that the selectional approach chosen helped explaining the inceptive-stative state of affairs in Thai clearly. It also pointed out that the Thai aspectuality focused on the initial …


Muslim Communities During The Ayutthaya Period, Julispong Chularatana Jan 2007

Muslim Communities During The Ayutthaya Period, Julispong Chularatana

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

The Muslims in Ayutthaya were divided into distinct groups. The first, the Indo-Malay Muslims, and the second, the Sunni Muslims from the countries to the west of Siam, were the groups outside the city wall, while the third resided inside the city wall. This third group consisted mainly of Indo-Iranian Muslims of the Shiite sect, different from the first and the second groups, who were primarily of Sunni sect of the Shaf'is group. The differences in their religion, race, society, and culture caused these Muslims to separate into different communities in the city of Ayutthaya.


The Symbolization Of Sounds In Thai Onomatopoeic Words, Sorabud Rungrojsuwan Jan 2007

The Symbolization Of Sounds In Thai Onomatopoeic Words, Sorabud Rungrojsuwan

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

In addition to the arbitrary invention of words in human language, there are also a number of lexical items in languages generated from the symbolization of particular groups of sounds. The present study investigates the structural and semantic characteristics of "sound-symbolic words" (or onomatopoeic words) in Thai. Data were drawn from formal and informal written documents. The Royal Institute''''s and Matichon''''s dictionaries were used as representatives of formal documents, while 40 Japanese-to-Thai translated comics were used for the informal documents. Structurally, it was found that most sound-symbolic words are either monomorphemic or reduplicated. In relation to semantics, sound symbolization in …


Areal Typology Of Mainland Southeast Asia: What We Learn From The Wals Maps, Bernard Comrie Jan 2007

Areal Typology Of Mainland Southeast Asia: What We Learn From The Wals Maps, Bernard Comrie

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

Mainland Southeast Asia has long been recognized as a classic example of a linguistic area, but earlier characterizations of this language area have typically been intuitive, for instance providing seemingly impressive lists of features known to be shared by Mainland Southeast Asian languages but without considering a list of features on which these languages differ, without explicitly considering the extent to which the features in question are common or rare across the world as a whole. By using the maps in the World Atlas of Language Structures, it is possible to build up a more structured assessment of the extent …


"Because Mother Isn't At Home": Evidentiality And Metapragmatic Knowladge, Krisadawan Hongladarom Jan 2007

"Because Mother Isn't At Home": Evidentiality And Metapragmatic Knowladge, Krisadawan Hongladarom

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

This article reports a result of an experiment in investigating Tibetan children's comprehension and metapragmatic knowledge of evidentials. The experiment was conducted in a Tibetan school in Nepal with three groups of children: 9-year-olds, 11-year-olds, and 14-year-olds. Four questions were asked based on a story. These questions solicit answers that reflect children's understanding and awareness of evidential contrasts, namely direct versus indirect experience. Most children seem to understand that when one has eyewitness knowledge of an event, s/he needs to use the direct evidential. In contrast, if one does not see what happens, s/he needs to resort to the indirect …


Sexuality In Thai Folk Songs, Buaphan Suphanyot Jan 2007

Sexuality In Thai Folk Songs, Buaphan Suphanyot

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

Combining fieldwork research with textual analysis, this paper investigates the role of traditional Thai folk songs in teaching sexuality and sex education in contemporary Thai society. Although this mode of teaching is not formally included in school curricula, folk songs have easily lent themselves to the role of education and the transmission of cultural values. They are filled with humour, easy to remember, and do not challenge prevailing Thai moral standards. This paper shows how folk songs have long been an important way for Thai people to learn about sexual desire, the functioning of sexual organs, intercourse, sexual behaviour, courtship …
