Desert Living For Modern Day Ministers: Embracing The Life And Practice Of Desert Living In Ministry Today, Kaye L. Mckinley

Doctor of Ministry

Ministers spend most of their time assisting others through trouble and hardship, yet they are often unable to cope with their own personal struggles. In doing so, they neglect their own spiritual lives for the sake of others. This dissertation will explore the desert experiences of the past to determine if the desert metaphor holds value for ministers today as a place of healing and spiritual transformation. In biblical times, the desert was a literal place where people sought God and explored their life and faith. The Desert Fathers and Mother followed this example. Desert living is available for us …

The Simms Initiatives - University Of South Carolina, Todd Hagstette

Digital Projects

In the mid-nineteenth century, William Gilmore Simms did more than any other writer and editor to frame white southern self-identity, nationalism, and historical consciousness. He also did more to foster the South’s literary life and place in America’s imagination.

The Simms Initiatives, generously funded by the Watson-Brown Foundation and the University of South Carolina Libraries, offers full access to this prolific author’s work. That comes through both digital and Print-on-Demand editions. Our digital holdings represent three categories of works: Printed Materials, Scrapbooks, and Scholarship.

We strive to enhance the value of these materials and grow the study of Simms and …

Slow Your Roll(Le), You Ain’T Going Nowhere, Girl: The Confl Icted Space Of Liberation In African-American Women’S Literary Tradition, Rebecca Dixon

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

The recent use of the expression “Slow your Role” in the Direct TV advertisement is true to my experience with the phrase. It is a phrase used in reference to women and girls but not in reference to boys or men. The expression would not be appropriate for men, as the traditional understanding of manhood indicates that men are not to be limited and restricted but are free to be aggressive and free to move. Moreover, the expression suggests that the person’s course of action has been called into question, and the traditional understanding of masculinity indicates that men are …

Death Watch, Nancy Mairs

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

From the dozen or so death-row inmates with whom I have corresponded regularly, I have learned that many of them experienced childhood trauma, both abuse and neglect.

Culture Wars – A Battle For Freedom Of Expression In Contemporary Art, Judy Bullington

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

Art in the 1990s aggressively dealt with sensitive issues about identity and the social order, particularly in regards to race, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, poverty, and AIDS. The ensuing confrontation in the United States between artists who championed their right to freedom of speech and officials involved in the management of public funds is referred to as the Culture Wars. This proved to be a defining moment in the history of the visual arts. Events associated with the Culture Wars not only ‘liberated’ art from many of its longstanding traditions, they also insisted that artists’ should be absolutely free …

The Dark Side Of Liberation: When Historical Movements For Change Go Wrong, Daniel E. Schafer

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

The written and spoken word can do a great many things in the cause of liberation. Words can help people figure out their own situation and develop ways to cope and to improve their lives. One can learn to “speak truth to power,” as they say, it being a very powerful thing to point out injustices and hypocrisy. Words can motivate others to participate in a movement to help one another and make the world a better place. When the liberating voices come together into a chorus and form a movement – let’s call it a liberation movement – we …

Liberating Voices At The Harris-Hillman School, Noel Boyle

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

Harris-Hillman is a public school for severely disabled and medically fragile children in Nashville, Tennessee. Robbie Hampton is the school’s principal; Jennifer May is the school’s Consultant Teacher; Beth Patterson was the 2011 Teacher of the Year. As part of the 2011 Belmont University Humanities Symposium, these three distinguished members of the Harris-Hillman faculty were invited to take part in a panel discussion titled, “Liberating Voices at Harris-Hillman”. After summarizing some of what they said about the Harris-Hillman School, I’ll reflect both personally and philosophically on their work.

Service Learning Transformations: Personal Writing, Community Partnership, And Student Advocacy, Jason Lovvorn, Linda Holt, Charmion Gustke

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

Liberation and transformation frequently co-exist among pedagogical ideals since educators often seek to free and to change student thinking and student voices. Service learning, in particular, brings into focus these principles and locates them in experiential designs where practice and theory run side-by-side. Service-learning participants often expand intellectual horizons by way of grounded, embodied activity, and for many college students, this approach to learning can be fresh and attractive when compared to the lecture-and-test oriented cultures they experienced in high school or in other college settings.

Translating The Feminine In Anglo-Saxon Literature, Jeremy Scott Ecke

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

Given the epic, heroic, and masculine ethos of the most well-known Anglo-Saxon poems, it is not surprising that women often figure as background characters, moving among the male- dominated hall, serving mead to the warriors, soothing injured egos, and passing from clan to clan as peace-weavers mending old wounds.

A Rainbow In The Clouds: Dr. Maya Angelou Speaks To Liberation And Life, Amy Hodges Hamilton

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

When I first read Maya Angelou’s world-acclaimed memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, I was 15-years-old and unaware that Angelou was one of the world’s most proliic writers. I was aware, however, that Angelou had a power to connect to me, the reader, as she confessed to what it felt like to be displaced.

Finding Ourselves In The Voices Of Others, Andrea Stover

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

Welcome to this year’s 10th Annual Humanities Symposium. We are gathering today and this week to celebrate the humanities and more specifically to explore this year’s theme of “liberating voices.” When I think of voices that liberate, Martin Luther King, Jr. comes to mind, and Abraham Lincoln, and Sojourner Truth—people who wrote and spoke eloquently for a cause, for a group of people who needed to be lifted up and called to action in a time of crisis.

Liberating Voices From East Germany And China—A Personal Perspective, Holly Liu

Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal

For many of us, the year 1989 is the year in which world history was rewritten and our lives were changed forever. On June 4, 1989, the month-long student protests on Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China, were brutally cracked down, and this marked the end of the premature democratic efforts led by tens of thousands of young students. Several months later, Mikhail Gorbachev’s appeal for Glasnost (transparency) and Perestroika (reconstruction) in his liberating reforms in the Soviet Union had swept through other socialist states, especially the Eastern Bloc countries, and caused an unexpected domino effect in the political landscape. Initiated …

Leo Tolstoy From 1901–2010 In Two Leading English-Language Newspapers In India, Radha Balasubramanian

Russian Language and Literature Papers

On May 30, 1901 The Hindu published its first lengthy editorial on Count Leo Tolstoy. It was followed by a personal letter to Tolstoy on June 13, 1901 from A. Ramaseshan, publicist and editor of the journal The Arya out of Madras. This seminal letter set the stage for a steady correspondence between Tolstoy and many Indians from different walks of life, the most prominent among them being M. K. Gandhi (1869-1948), who, as a political and ideological leader of India during the Indian Independence Movement, wrote to the Russian writer between 1909-1910.

Some of the essence of this continuous …

Jiménez, Juan Ramón (1881-1958), Iker González-Allende

Machado Y Ruiz, Antonio (1875-1939), Iker González-Allende

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Born in Seville, he is considered one of the most outstanding poets in 20th-century Spain and the linchpin poet of Spain's Generation of 1898. After spending time in Paris, he worked as a French teacher in Soria, and later lived in Segovia and Madrid. To escape Francoist troops at the end of the Spanish Civil War, Machado went into exile in Collioure, France, dying there soon after. In his pocket was found his last poem: "Estos días azules y este sol de la infancia" ("These azure days and this sun of childhood"). For Machado, poetry served to capture the essence …

Reconsidering Pitch Centricity, Stanley V. Kleppinger

Glenn Korff School of Music: Faculty Publications

Analysts commonly describe the musical focus upon a particular pitch class above centricity. But this seemingly simple concept is complicated by a range of factors. can be understood variously as a compositional feature, a perceptual effect arising from or listening strategies, or some complex combination thereof. Second, the relation the theoretical construct of tonality (in any of its myriad conceptions) is often not consistently theorized. Finally, various musical contexts manifest or evoke pitch centricity in seemingly and to differing degrees. This essay examines a range of compositions by Ligeti, Carter, and others to arrive at a more nuanced perspective of …
