The Danish Sisterhood In America, L. M. Hofenblad
The Danish Sisterhood In America, L. M. Hofenblad
The Bridge
The Danish Sisterhood in America is ca. 2 years younger than its big brother, The Danish Brotherhood, as the first lodge, namely “The Christine Lodge” No. 1 in Negaunee, Mich. was organized on the 15th of December, 1883 by Mrs. Christine Hemmingsen, whose husband was a member of the Brotherhood. Consequently, the Sisterhood has now existed for 24 years.

Comparing Heritage And Non-Heritage Learning Outcomes And Target-Language Utilization In The Overseas Immersion Context: A Preliminary Study Of The Russian Flagship, Dan E. Davidson, Maria D. Lekic
Russian Language Journal
The heritage learner within U.S. foreign language education has received increasing attention over the past two decades, as university programs with substantial numbers of heritage students have developed improved diagnostic and curricular offerings for addressing the particular needs of those whose learning of their native language was incomplete or interrupted due to immigration to the U.S. (Valdés, 2000; Kagan & Dillon, 2004). While the heritage learner within the domestic language learning context is relatively well represented in the literature, relatively little research has been devoted to the acquisition experiences of heritage learners engaged in overseas immersion study (re-learning) of their …

Как понять эту фразу человеку, давно и эффективно изучающему русский язык? Да, он знает, что такое болото - это то, о чем можно сказать swamp, marsh, bog, muskeg. Но почему это название может показаться русскому человеку обидным? Из какого именно болота хочет вырваться автор и та группа людей, с которыми он себя объединяет?

Статья написана по итогам работы в рамках программы «Flagship» в 2011 / 2012 учебном году. Использование драматургических текстов в процессе обучения студентов на высших уровнях владения русским языком (C1 и C2) продуктивно по нескольким причинам. Во-первых, материал пьес позволяет продемонстрировать интонационное богатство русского языка. Большое внимание на практических занятиях уделяется ремаркам, сопровождающим текст персонажей. Они дают студентам комплексное представление о различных тактиках и типах речевого поведения, соответствующих им языковых средствах и наиболее частотных ситуациях общения. Во-вторых, пьесы, если это не драмы для чтения, как правило, предполагают постановку на сцене и рассчитаны на прямой контакт зрительного зала с исполнителями ролей. Заложенный …

Особенности Обучения Речи На Русском Языке На Программе «Флагман», Ольга Рябова
Russian Language Journal
Как в обыденном, так и в профессиональном сознании сегодня быту-ет представление о том, что результатом изучения любого иностран-ного языка является достижение определённого уровня практи-ческого владения этим языком, то есть умение говорить на изучаемом иностранном языке. При изучении русского языка от второго уровня ТРКИ (тестирование по русскому языку как ино-странному1) вопрос о владении языком превращается в намного более сложное явление, чем определение того, может ли учащийся изъясняться на иностранном языке. Обучение по программе третьего и четвёртого уровней владения языком требует от учащего-ся не только знания и понимания стилистических различий, существующих в языке, и применения этих знаний в практике речи, но и …

Использование Актуальных Жанров Интернет-Общения (Форума И Блога) На Занятиях По Развитию Навыков Устной И Письменной Речи, Дарья Колесова, Ирина Вознесенская
Russian Language Journal
Прагматика общения, как известно, в значительной мере опреде-ляется спецификой жанра: существуют жанровые каноны, допуска-ющие ту или иную степень вариативности, но выход за рамки таких канонов приводит к коммуникативным неудачам. Попадая в стан-дартные условия общения, люди вырабатывают оптимальные для этих условий способы общения. Новые же коммуниканты, осваивая жанровый канон, стараются ему следовать, и в этом смысле оказы-ваются полностью зависимыми от жанра. Каким же образом можно обучить иностранца русским речевым жанрам? Какие именно речевые жанры стоит рассматривать как объект и предмет обучения на уроках РКИ?

Использование Киноцитаты На Уроке Рки, Джамиля Садуллаева
Russian Language Journal
Достаточно долгий опыт преподавания с одной стороны РКИ и истории и поэтики кино, с другой, привел меня к выводу, что изучение цитат из отечественных кинофильмов не только возможно, но и просто необходимо на продвинутом этапе обучения. Повседневная речь носителей языка переполнена цитатами разного уровня сложности и из разных источников. В речи молодежи, а именно молодежь – основной контингент изучающих русский язык в университете, постоянны мимолетные цитаты из видеотекстов, предназначенных для ежедневного, но не долгосрочного использования. Телевизионные сериалы, реклама на улице, в газетах и на телевидении, ошибки и оговорки в прямом эфире, забавные ролики в youtub’e, маргинальные тексты небольших сообществ вроде …
Making A Way: Music In An African American Congregation, Emily Miller-Todd
Making A Way: Music In An African American Congregation, Emily Miller-Todd
Honors Program Theses
When I began brainstorming ideas for my research, I was initially drawn towards a general study of music's role in church settings. As a music major and religion minor, this topic appeared to be the most obvious way I could combine my interests and apply them to a research project. Broadly speaking, I was interested in describing the role of music in a worship setting and the meaning members of the congregation found in music. In addition, I wanted to develop a research project that allowed me a more thoroughly experiential understanding of music in a congregation through personal participation …

Most published work in our field privileges theory over analysis, with analysis acting as a subordinate testing ground and exemplification for a theory. Reversing that customary polarity, this article analyzes three works by Stravinsky (Petrushka, The Rake’s Progress, Requiem Canticles) with a relative minimum of theoretical preconceptions and with the simple aim, in David Lewin’s words, of “hearing the piece[s] better.”

Visual Translation: A New Way To Design A Chinese Typeface Based On An Existing Latin Typeface, Yifang Cao
Visual Translation: A New Way To Design A Chinese Typeface Based On An Existing Latin Typeface, Yifang Cao
LSU Master's Theses
The visual consistency of branding makes a significant difference when successfully introduced to another culture. My study focuses on how to facilitate a smooth visual transition in western branding from Latin letters to Chinese characters. To move beyond traditional Chinese type design, Visual Translation introduces a new method for designing Chinese typefaces using existing Latin typefaces. This web-based educational tool seeks to help Chinese graphic design students and type enthusiasts, with emphasis on designers who are working in a cross-cultural environment to maintain visual consistency for branding.

Accordion Crimes, a novel by E. Annie Proulx, traces the life of and routes travelled by a green diatonic button accordion: its birth in Sicily in the workshop of “The Accordion Maker,” its numerous changes of ownership in the Americas during encounters between various immigrant communities, and its death when it finally falls into disrepair in the town of Old Glory, Minnesota. There are other accordions in the book, and many temporary human owners, but it is one particular green accordion that is the book’s protagonist. We meet and experience other characters largely through their interactions with the green accordion, …
Country Of Illusion: Imagined Geographies And Transnational Connections In F. Scott Fitzgerald's America, Charles Mitchell Frye Iii
Country Of Illusion: Imagined Geographies And Transnational Connections In F. Scott Fitzgerald's America, Charles Mitchell Frye Iii
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
The two decades between World Wars I and II were a remarkably isolationist, xenophobic period in the history of American politics and culture. In the era’s literature, however, some US authors repurposed regional writing as a medium for rethinking conservative nationalism and for imagining their country’s place in the emerging global community. F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose career successes and failures mirrored the parabolic national pattern of Boom and Bust, was one such author. Though his works have seldom been interpreted through a regionalist lens, Fitzgerald lived in and wrote about every major American section, often planting tropes of transregional and …

In 1975-1976, a group of science students of the Novosibirsk University (Russia, Siberia) created a small theatre that managed to avoid the official censorship for the entire season. In this memoir, several former actors, now scattered across the world, reconstruct the detailed history of their “Phenomenon” theatre 35 years later. The central event was the (first) staging (December 1975) of Andrey Voznesensky’s long poem “Avos'!”, long before the famous rock opera appeared.

A Multi-Dimensional Pedagogy For Racial Justice In Writing Centers, Rasha Diab, Beth Godbee, Thomas Ferrel, Neil Simpkins
English Faculty Research and Publications
In light of disciplinary conversations and increased attention to anti-racism in writing centers, we see a disciplinary mandate for writing centers to better articulate a pedagogy for racial justice that informs our everyday work, including but not limited to tutoring practice. This mandate, we believe, involves asking: How do we make actionable our commitment to racial justice when working with writers one-with-one? What interactional stances and pedagogical moves enact a pedagogy of anti-racism in writing centers? How do we prepare ourselves to enact this pedagogy? Our answers to these questions center around (1) articulating and frequently re-articulating our commitments to …
Religion, Evolution, And Sensibility: Vico And Hume On The History Of Religion, Horace L. Fairlamb
Religion, Evolution, And Sensibility: Vico And Hume On The History Of Religion, Horace L. Fairlamb
Religion in the Age of Enlightenment
Whereas Eastern religions are typically defined by their practices, Western religions are identified by their theological histories, beginning with the covenant between God and Abraham. These theological histories chart a cultural progress marked by divine intrusions or revelations. In contrast, modern secular histories suggest that nature, humanity, and knowledge are progressing without the need for supernatural intervention. Moreover, while traditional religions typically claimed that ultimate truth had already been revealed, Enlightenment progressivism holds that truth is not yet absolutely known, that knowledge is still evolving, and that further progress in truth depends only on natural reason. With the coming of …

P. J. Marshall: The British Discovery Of Hinduism In The Eighteenth Century: Book Review, Michael Austin
Religion in the Age of Enlightenment
The format of this reissued book deserves some commentary. Originally published in 1970, these reprints of primary texts from the second half of the eighteenth century are now available in a digitally printed version. This publication format takes advantage of new digital printing technologies that can produce attractive, bound volumes of older books-often indistinguishable from the original edition-in print runs as small as a single copy. This publication medium is an exciting innovation for scholars, ultimately eliminating out-of-print books by making any book available, on demand, to anyone who wants to purchase it.

Facing The Future With The Shield Of Aeneas: Virgil And The Testing Of Dryden's Catholic Faith In The 1690s, John J. Burke Jr.
Religion in the Age of Enlightenment
The shield of Aeneas has always had a sense of mystery about it. His shield, like that of Achilles in the Iliad, is not merely a physical object designed to protect him from crippling wounds or death while in battle; oddly, it is also a work of art. Moreover, it is a work of art that is supernatural in origin, fashioned in this instance by the Roman god Vulcan and presented to the Trojan exile Aeneas by his goddess mother, Venus, in book 8 of Virgil's Aeneid. There have been countless discussions of what we are to make …

If one were to ask a returned missionary from Finland, or even a member of the Church in Finland, when missionary work began in that country, a likely response would be that it began in 1946, when Elder Ezra Taft Benson dedicated the land for missionary work. The date is well known, and a small monument commemorating the event has been erected in Larsmo, a small town on Finland's northwestern shore. Although many consider missionaries who served in the years immediately following the dedication to be the first missionaries in Finland, there is a general understanding that some members in …
