Politics Among Danish Americans In The Midwest, Ca. 1890-1914, Jorn Brondal Jan 2008

Politics Among Danish Americans In The Midwest, Ca. 1890-1914, Jorn Brondal

The Bridge

During the last decades of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, ethnicity and religion played a vital role in shaping the political culture of the Midwest. Indeed, historians like Samuel P. Hays, Lee Benson, Richard Jensen (of part Danish origins), and Paul Kleppner argued that ethnoreligious factors to a higher degree than socioeconomic circumstances informed the party affiliation of ordinary voters.1 It is definitely true that some ethnoreligious groups like, say, the Irish Catholics and the German Lutherans boasted fullfledged political subcultures complete with their own press, their own political leadership and to some extent, at least, their own …


Re-Writing The Danish American Dream? An Inquiry Into Danish Enterprise Culture And Danish Attitudes Toward Entrepreneurship, Robert Smith, Helle Neergaard Jan 2008

Re-Writing The Danish American Dream? An Inquiry Into Danish Enterprise Culture And Danish Attitudes Toward Entrepreneurship, Robert Smith, Helle Neergaard

The Bridge

This research story which to us reads like a fairytale is the secondpart of an exploration into Danish Enterprise Culture. It tells an oft forgotten tale, a Danish Success Story which we hope will one day be held even dearer by self-deprecating Danes everywhere. In telling this wondrous tale we are also serving a serious purpose in examining some socio-cultural and historical factors influencing the perceived low entrepreneurial drive of the Danish people, and perhaps also in the process helping to explain why traditionally Denmark does not have a vibrant Enterprise Culture. This work adopts a Verstehen based methodology because …

Benedicte Wrensted' S Indian Photographs, Lea Rosson Delong Jan 2008

Benedicte Wrensted' S Indian Photographs, Lea Rosson Delong

The Bridge

Joanna Cohan Scherer resurrects the career of Benedicte Wrensted (1859-1949), a photographer who emigrated from Denmark in 1893 and set up her studio in Pocatello, Idaho, a town of about 4,500 population. Over the next seventeen years, Wrensted produced approximately one hundred seventy known photographs of Northern Shoshone, Bannock and Lemhi tribal members who lived on the nearby Fort Hall Indian Reservation, along with numerous pictures of the Euro-American citizens of Pocatello as well. Though several of Wrensted's photographs of the Sha-Ban (as the tribes refer to themselves) were well known and had been frequently published, it was not until …

The Travel Diaries And Letters

The Bridge

At the dockside in Copenhagen on 21 March 1894, a worried father stood and waved goodbye to his eldest son, who had made the big decision of his life at the age of seventeen and was setting out to realize his dreams in the vast, unknown land of America. "Write soon, Christian," was the father's last word to his son. The very next day, Christian wrote his first letter

An Authentic Human Being With A 17th C. Flair: Fenelon Spiritual Letters And Existentialism, Megan Levy Jan 2008

An Authentic Human Being With A 17th C. Flair: Fenelon Spiritual Letters And Existentialism, Megan Levy

Theology Conference Papers

This is an invitation for the mind and the heart to cross the threshold into another dimension in time and explore the parallels between Existential Psychotherapy concepts and Fenelon’s Christian Spiritual Letters written 300 years ago. Christianity and Existentialism are “individualistic” approaches focused on self-awareness, self-responsibility, and ownership to facilitate personal change; both ask for commitment, and none of them offer easy ways or painless quests. Christian spiritual letters as a personal growth tool are centred on Jesus, a self-actualizer, who fits every characteristic described by Maslow.


The Life Of Raymond "The Palmer", Kenneth Baxter Wolf Jan 2008

The Life Of Raymond "The Palmer", Kenneth Baxter Wolf

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

Raymond "The Palmer" (Palmario or Palmerio) of Piacenza (d. 1200) is a good example of a medieval pilgrim saint who, after the death of his wife and five children, committed himself to an endless series of pilgrimages to various shrines, including Jerusalem. Raymond ultimately suspended his itinerant life, dedicating himself to the relief of the poor and sick in his native Piacenza. This transformation made him typical of the lay "civic saints" who dominated Italian hagiography from the late twelfth to the late thirteenth centuries.

Family Affairs Newsletter 2008-01-01, Jean Vermette

Family Affairs newsletter (2004-2016)

FAMILY AFFAIRS was a free, twice-a-month, social activities newsletter for the GLBTQI (gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans/queer/intersex) community, sent out around the 1st and 15th of each month. 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. Over the years it evolved from a social activities newsletter into a business directory, classified ad service, and community bulletin board.


‘A Mob Of Women’ Confront Post-Colonial Republican Politics: How Class, Race, And Partisan Ideology Affected Gendered Political Space In Nineteenth-Century Southwestern Colombia, James Sanders Jan 2008

‘A Mob Of Women’ Confront Post-Colonial Republican Politics: How Class, Race, And Partisan Ideology Affected Gendered Political Space In Nineteenth-Century Southwestern Colombia, James Sanders

History Faculty Publications

This essay explores why some groups of women in nineteenth–century Colombia were able to engage in public, political action but others were not. Elite conservative women (mostly white) and popular liberal women (mostly black and mulatta) found ways to participate publicly in republican politics, but elite liberal women (mostly white) and some popular conservative women (mostly Indian) were largely absent from the public sphere. I argue that colonial gender roles, elite and popular visions of citizenship, the contest between the Liberal and Conservative Parties, the structure of indigenous communities, and popular liberal women's access to independent economic resources all helped …

The Gender Of Madrasa Teaching, Nita Kumar Jan 2008

The Gender Of Madrasa Teaching, Nita Kumar

CMC Faculty Publications and Research

There are thousands of Muslim children, both girls and boys, going to madrasas in all the cities of South Asia (Sikand 2005: pp 313-14). Zeenat and Shahzad, a weaver’s daughter and a weaver’s son in the city of Varanasi, North India, the centre of silk weaving, are two such children. All adult Muslims, such as all the adult male and female members of Zeenat and Shahzad’s families, explicitly articulate and perform gender identities. Can we make a useful co-relation between the gender identities of the adults and the experience of the madrasa?

The Laboratory On 53rd Street : Victor D' Amico And The Museum Of Modern Art 1937-1969, Briley Rasmussen

Graduate Student Independent Studies

This project addresses previously unexplored areas of Victor D'Amico's career as Director of the Education Department at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) from 1937-69, during which time he developed and implemented his philosophy on creative teaching that developed creativity, innovation and appreciation for modern art through a focus on individual aesthetic experience. Beginning with MoMA's early role and mission and the founding of the Education Project, the education programs as a laboratory for experimental art education are studied, specifically the Museum's television series Through the Enchanted Gate and the Children's Art Carnival as exemplars of D'Amico's experimental programming. This …

Seeking The Greatest Miracle: Psychological Mythology In Ibsen’S A Doll House, Joshua Lavender Jan 2008

Seeking The Greatest Miracle: Psychological Mythology In Ibsen’S A Doll House, Joshua Lavender

The Corinthian

Nora’s obstacle is her marriage, which out of its specific character prevents her from becoming fully human. Nora and Torvald have built their marriage and lives around a shared mythology, based loosely on Christian concepts of morality, sin, and redemption, in which Nora idolizes Torvald as a god in whose presence she must submit and behind whose back she lives a secret, “sinful” existence.

To ‘Noob Or Not To ‘Noob, That Is The Question, Joey Hall, Lee Tucciarone

The Corinthian

After watching a documentary entitled Black on White, by Robert MacNeil, we realized that many people still tend to make a distinction between white and black English. Since the documentary was rather dated, we decided to pursue this topic to further investigate whether or not the views expressed in the film are still the general consensus of the population. Some of the people we interviewed for this project did indeed express the belief that white and black English differ very much one from the other. In fact, as we began to investigate this topic, we realized that it is …

Memory And Forgetting In A Time Of Violence: Brian Friel’S Meta-History Plays, Tony Crowley Jan 2008

Memory And Forgetting In A Time Of Violence: Brian Friel’S Meta-History Plays, Tony Crowley

Scripps Faculty Publications and Research

In the 1980s, Brian Friel, one of Ireland’s most successful twentieth century dramatists, authored two plays – Translations and Making History – which were concerned with major events in colonial history. Given the context in which the plays were written – Northern Ireland was in a state of war at the time – ­the playwright’s choice of topics (the introduction of the National Schools and the Ordnance Survey in the nineteenth century and the failed Gaelic revolt against English rule and the Flight of the Earls in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries) was both pointed and politically contentious. Yet, the …
