Vowel-Length Contrast Of (E) (Ɛ) (O) And(Ɔ)In The Thai Language Of Sukhothai Period(ความต่างที่มีนัยสำคัญด้านความสั้นยาวของหน่วยเสียงสระ (E) (Ɛ) (O) และ (Ɔ) ในภาษาไทยสมัยสุโขทัย), Sireemas Maspong

Journal of Letters

This article examines the vowel-length contrastbetween(e)and(ɛ)andbetween(o)and(ɔ)in the Thai language of the Sukhothai Period. Length distinctions are analyzed by assessing the connections between graphemes in Sukhothai inscriptionsand phonemes in Proto-Southwestern Tai and Angkorian Khmer. The study reveals that there are 5 graphemes representing (e),(ɛ),(o),and (ɔ), which are , , <-->, , and . The distribution of vocalic graphemes compared with vowel phonemes in PSWT demonstrates that vowel phonemes can be divided into two groups. Vowels in the first group include those with length contrast, such as /e/, /eː/and/o/, /oː/.On the other hand, vowels in the second group do not have length …

Place, Imaginary, Identity: Place Ethnography In Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico, Tita Berger

American Studies ETDs

"Place for me is the locus of desire," writes Lucy Lippard in the opening to Lure of the Local (1997). This research project is about place. Two distinct sets of scholarship on place emerged in the 1970s and the 1990s. A third wave of place scholarship is evident today. Coming initially from geography and anthropology, the study of place is now ubiquitous across fields in history, cultural studies, architecture, planning, health sciences, art and other disciplines. Despite the sustained interest in the study of place, one of the hallmarks of place is the ranging and contested contours of what place …

Femmage And The Diy Movement: Feminism, Crafty Women, And The Politics Of Gender Performance, Rosemary L. Sallee

American Studies ETDs

Through a variety of lenses, contemporary crafting is examined as a complex and contradictory gender and class performance that serves as a form of communication among women that both enables and contains oppositional and gender role explorations. Crafting is created through myriad texts which transform into an individual form of expression, a societal spectacle, a fashion trend, a subculture, an addiction, a coping mechanism, an oppositional act, and a means of healing both physically and emotionally. This study investigates how the objects women make and collect reflect and define crafters' negotiations between personal desires and public personas, help them voice …

Unbalancing Acts: Plagiarism As Catalyst For Instructor Emotion In The Composition Classroom, Ann E. Biswas

English Faculty Publications

In this essay, the author reflects on her experiences while researching composition instructors’ emotional responses to plagiarism. The research found that instructors faced a variety of complex and competing feelings when students plagiarized, and those responses threatened to upset relationships, power structures, and professional identities in the classroom. The author considers how and why her own emotional labor was altered in light of these findings and what this might suggest about the need for increased professional conversation in our discipline regarding the impact of emotions in the writing classroom.

Junot Díaz’S The Brief, Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao And Its Punishment Of Failed Gender Performances, Bruno Yupanqui Tovar

Masters Theses

Junot Díaz’s renowned novel, The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (Oscar Wao), presents the brief and wondrous life of its main character, Oscar Wao, but also describes the exceptional lives of Lola and Belicia, his sister and mother, respectively. While the story’s title asserts an enthusiastic tone to the lives of Oscar—and the females in his family—the story actually reveals the victimization and demise of these characters. Though Díaz offers the spell of Fukú americanus, a Dominican superstition, Feminist Theorist Judith Butler provides a more advantageous, concrete explanation for the subjugation of these characters. Butler argues that culture dictates …

Intense Piano Training On Self-Efficacy And Physiological Stress In Aging, Jennifer A. Bugos, Simran Kochar, Nathan Maxfield

Music Education Faculty Publications

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an intense piano training program on general self-efficacy, musical self-efficacy, and physiological stress in older adults. Self-efficacy refers to perceived beliefs regarding the performance of domain-specific tasks or activities, which contribute to psychological and physical health.

Seventeen healthy community-dwelling older adults (60–85 years) with little to no previous musical training participated in a within subjects experimental design. Measures of self-efficacy and cortisol levels were administered over three time points: an initial pre-testing session, a second …

高密詩學的理論品格及其批評實踐, Yin Jiang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

作爲清代自乾隆中葉一直綿延到晚清的地域性詩歌流派，高密詩派，始終是在對前人詩學的批判中深化，同時也是在與當代詩學的對話中展開的，其中不只包含着對王漁洋神韻詩學、沈德潛正统詩學、袁枚性靈詩學的揚棄，也包含了對明代以來山東格調詩學的繼承和改造。它通過《重訂中晚唐詩主客圖》對中唐詩歌的獨到發掘和把握，爲詩壇引入一種新的美學理想和藝術典範，并以縝密的批評为其師法路徑加以定位與拓展，以其平易近人的品格再度摇撼“詩必盛唐”的傳统壁壘，給乾隆後期到嘉、道之際的詩歌以有力的影響。

道光詞壇的典範建構 : 兼論晚清詞學從流派意識向典範意識的轉移, Shuiyun Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

從乾隆末年開始，清代詞壇漸現批評浙派的聲音，嘉慶、道光時期常州、吳中兩派同時崛起，以《宋四家詞選》、《宋七家詞選》、《心日齋十六家詞録》先後出現爲標誌，重塑典範，更新觀念，崇尚比興寄託，講求聲律諧美，在清初曾經盛行的南北宋之爭趨於消解，浙西與常州兩派由對抗走向交融，這表明晚清詞學從流派意識向典範意識轉移的重大變化。

儀式與象徵 : 清順治十七年冒襄得全堂夜宴演劇述論, Yingde Guo

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

清順治十七年(明永曆十四年，1660)五月，太倉 (今屬江蘇蘇州)著名學者陳瑚(1613—1675)率門人瞿有仲(1626—?)，拜訪如皋(今屬江蘇南通)名士冒襄(1611—1693)。冒襄在冒氏祖宅的得全堂開樽夜宴，出家樂，先後演出《燕子箋》、《邯鄲夢》兩部劇作。

賓主觀演《燕子箋》，激發起他们“故國不堪回首月明中”的追憶，冒襄以此説服陳瑚，不妨享受人生的有限逸樂，從而使這一觀劇活動成爲晚明風流生活的象徵儀式。而賓主觀演《邯鄲夢》，則唤醒了他们“别有一番滋味在心頭”的憤慨，陳瑚以此感召冒襄，應該堅守儒者的永恒氣節，從而使這一觀劇活動成爲清初隱逸生活的象徵儀式。

著意選取藴含興亡感慨與人生況味的劇目，藉以傳達心中難以抑止的新愁舊恨，這是冒襄别具慧心的文化選擇，並成爲得全堂演劇活動含藴丰富的儀式性象徵。作爲一種文化儀式，得全堂賞心悦目的演劇活動彌漫著明清易代之际士人的悲憤情绪與悼念氣息，並象徵著他们的往迹追懷和恢復憧憬。

冒襄纂辑、刊刻的《同人集》，作爲一种文本影像和文化記憶，强化了得全堂演劇的象徵儀式和儀式象徵。得全堂演劇活動是冒襄與同人精神對話的最佳方式，也是冒襄進行自我救贖的有效媒介，還是冒襄生存意義的鮮明象徵。

從"法相唯識"論《牡丹亭》和《南柯記》, Sau Ieng Sitou

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

本文因應湯顯祖以“情”“心”探察生命底藴的客觀性而採用論“識體”最是透澈的唯識學理念分析《牡丹亭》和《南柯記》。爲辨明湯顯祖戲文與佛教思想微妙密切之關係而選用法相唯識觀念，如“識所緣境”、“偏計所執”、“萬法唯識”和“轉識作智”分析兩個作品呈現的生命現象。在玄奘大師《八識規矩頌》闡釋八識的架構下，《牡丹亭》的杜麗娘、柳夢梅和《南柯記》的淳于棼展示的情感現象不但與作家本身，還與文化集體習氣相關。本文亦藉“相”“性”和情“至”“盡”之互相觀照，探討湯顯祖理想的人生境地和戲曲美學境界：即莊嚴生命情感現象中的“至真”和傳统文學中之“大美”。

水神、溺籍與歷險 : 論《聊齋誌異‧織成》, Yin Ping, Grace Lau

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《聊齋誌異》三會本卷----《織成》一文，述柳生在洞庭歷險。篇中出現洞庭水神、水將：柳毅、南將軍和毛將軍，鮮見於其他文獻，因而顯得珍貴。有關“溺籍”(溺水而死者)之載亦相當特别，有助了解遇溺及水鬼之謎。至於柳生因洞庭奇遇，娶神婢織成，並獲赠財富，便爲其下第，失意於科舉的欠缺，作出補償。

清代越南使節於中國廣東的文學活動 : 兼為《越南漢文燕行文獻集成》進行補充, Yiyuan Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

17—19世紀，廣東與越南一直有很密切的文學交流，其中19世紀内奉派到北京難得途經廣東的燕行使，以及直接到廣東公幹的越南派員，都扮演著十分重要的腳色。本文廣搜清代越南使節潘輝益、武輝瑨、段波、阮提、吳仁静、鄭懷德、李文馥、汝伯仕、范富庶、潘輝泳、范芝香、鄧輝躇、范慎逋、阮述等人在廣東（以廣州爲主，兼及佛山等地）與港澳地區活動的漢字文獻記録，以掌握這些越南使節們在廣東購書、刻書的經過，及其與諸多廣東文人的交往互動情況，藉以從“他者”的角度重現中越文學交流的若干真相，豐富嶺南文學發展史的内涵，並兼爲中越合作出版的《越南漢文燕行文獻集成（越南所藏編）》進行補充。

明初文化格局中的地方儒家與臺閣文風, Wenxin Chen, Xian Fang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

明初文學中一個引人注目的現象是永樂至宣德間臺閣文風的盛行。以朝廷爲主導的臺閣文風，如何成功地覆蓋了在野的、地方的、下層的廣泛社會文化場域？追溯其來龍去脈，地方儒學官是值得關注的群體。相較於明中後期學校的荒廢，明初是地方儒學發展的興盛期。地方儒學官在政治、文化生活中作用顯著，永宣時代的臺閣要員就多有任教地方的仕宦經歷；經由考竅選拔、親族鄉誼等聯結因素，地方儒學官與臺閣要員往來密切，交流頻繁，大量酬赠詩序體現出受臺閣影響的旨趣和文風。臺閣體的長期風行，是廣泛的士人群體參與的結果，體現了不同社會階層之間的文化整合。臺閣文風可視爲明初打破朝與野、地方與中央二元對立從而實現以皇權爲中心的政治大一统格局的文化操誌。

《燕轅直指》的清朝觀, Hong Cao

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

朝鮮士人金景善出使清朝的時間是道光十二年(1832),他將此次入燕經歷撰成《燕轅直指》一書，是燕行録文獻中的一部佳善之作。他充分發揮這種紀行體裁在清朝認識上的功能，所顯現的對清觀察有其較爲深刻的歷史感與時代感。他咨訪和記録的清朝，雖參考融合了前輩燕行使者的見聞，但更直觀地反映了19世紀頭數十年政情民生相沿而來的社會諸相，值得與清朝中期史研究視野相參證。

《朴通事諺解》及其所引《西遊記》新探, Jianguo Pan

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

在《西遊記》成書史研究中，研究者經常使用到朝鮮漢語會話書《朴通事諺解》所引資料，但是，對於該文獻的年代層次缺少必要的考證,並往往將其正文和注文所引《西遊記》混爲一書不加區分。本文利用中韓漢語史研究成果，論定《朴通事諺解》正文雖經詞彙和語法層面的修訂，然其所引《西遊記》仍可視作元代文本予以採信；其注文則源自朝鮮中宗十二年(明正德十 二年，1517)左右成書的《老朴集覽》，注文所引《西遊記》並非元代文本，而是一部明代早期的 “舊本”。論文進而分别對元本和舊本《西遊記》的文貌，進行了初步的探考，揭示它們與百回本之間的學術關係，指出百回本《西遊記》雖建立在一個相當成熟的舊本基礎上，但即便是對於相同的故事情節，它也作出了更爲細緻豐富和更具文學性的删改增飾，因此，並不能據此而質疑甚至否定百回本《西遊記》編訂者的藝術貢獻。

Chreia Elaboration And The Un-Healing Of Peter's Daughter: Rhetorical Analysis As A Clue To Understanding The Development Of A Petrine Tradition, Meghan Henning

Theology and Religious Studies Faculty Publications

In a Coptic fragment associated with the Acts of Peter, Peter “heals” and then “disables” his own daughter as a demonstration of God’s power at work in him. The following article will compare Peter’s speech with the ancient rhetorical form of the chreia. When placed alongside other traditions that describe the life of Peter, a consistent pattern of anti-healings emerges, in which a display of apostolic power harms another character in order to provide a lesson for those watching. Taken together, the rhetoric and themes of the pericope suggest that it was composed as a way of explaining a …

The Sons Of Indiana: Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity And The Fight For Civil Rights, Gregory S. Parks, Wendy Marie Laybourn

Indiana Law Journal

The common narrative about African Americans’ quest for social justice and civil rights during the twentieth century consists, largely, of men and women working through organizations to bring about change. The typical list of organizations includes, inter alia, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Urban League, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. What are almost never included in this list are African American collegiate-based fraternities. However, at the turn of the twentieth century, a small group of organizations emerged founded on personal excellence, the development and sustainment of fictive-kinship ties, …

Minority Report: Re-Reading Gilgamesh After Levinas, Francis Dominic Degnin

Faculty Work

The Epic of Gilgamesh attempts to answer the question of how, given the finality of death, one might find meaning and happiness in life. Many commentators argue that the text provides two separate, although ultimately unsatisfactory, alternatives. What these commentators appear to miss, however, is the possibility that these two solutions may not be separate. Using Levinas’s distinction between “need” and “desire,” I argue that, by the end of the Epic, they may in fact be synthesized into a single solution, one that suggests the priority of an affective moral grounding as prior to and more fundamental than intellectual …

Although guidelines exist for vaccinating immunocompromised transplant recipients, many patients go unvaccinated or do not complete the series of vaccinations. An ongoing initiative at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is using a multipronged approach to improve rates of vaccination after HSCT.
