Too Little Too Late? The Introduction Of The Spencer Rifle, Savannah A. Labbe

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History

The photo above does not seem like much, but the story behind it is incredible. On August 17, 1863, a man named Christopher Miner Spencer entered the White House, gun in hand. He was let in past the sentries and ushered in to meet with President Abraham Lincoln. Spencer was at the White House to show the president his invention, the repeating rifle. He had been trying to get it adopted by the United States Army with little success, so he decided to go to the man with the most power. Spencer showed Lincoln his gun, and the president was …

A Multi-Functional View Of Moral Disengagement: Exploring The Effects Of Learning The Consequences, C. Justice Tillman, Katerina Gonzalez, Marilyn V. Whitman, Wayne S. Crawford, Anthony C. Hood

Publications and Research

This paper takes us beyond the unethical act and explores the use of moral disengagement as a multi-stage, multi-functional regulatory, and coping mechanism that not only allows individuals to engage in unethical behavior, but also manage the negative emotions (i.e., guilt and shame) from learning the consequences of such behavior. A resource-based lens is applied to the moral disengagement process, suggesting that individuals not only morally disengage prior to committing an unethical act in order to conserve their own resources, but also morally disengage as a coping mechanism to reduce emotional duress upon learning of the consequences of their actions, …

Ut Pictura Poesis And The Relationship Between Poetry And Painting During The Renaissance, Shannon O'Donoghue

The Pegasus Review: UCF Undergraduate Research Journal

This essay explores ut pictura poesis as a renaissance art theory. The main objective of Renaissance artists and art critics who promoted the theory was to raise painting to the status of a liberal art by comparing it to the honored art of poetry. Ideas linking the relationship between the arts of painting and poetry during the Renaissance formed from ancient treatises by Horace and Aristotle. The humanistic theory, popular during the Renaissance, related poetry and painting in the artists? common goal to imitate and then ?perfect? or idealize nature. To show that leading artists were consciously aware of this …

Encounters: Travel And Tourism In Historical Perspective, Seton Hall University, Department Of History

Symposium in Comparative History

This symposium aims to investigate the social, political, economic, ethical, and historical power of travel and tourism. Some of the questions that this symposium wishes to address are: Are travel and tourism transformative experiences? How do travelers and tourists register and remember their encounters with difference—and how have these representations changed over time? How do souvenirs, memorabilia, and travelogues circulate and facilitate imagination of other people and places? How has tourism contributed to—and undermined—the process of empire-building?

A Differentiation And Rectification On "Modern Xiqu", Wei Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The concept "modern xiqu" is used usually in three senses: First, it refers to all xiqu works of the modern period; second, it refers to some xiqu works that depict modern life; third, as a theatrical and a cultural term, it covers works with the quality of modernity. These meanings apply to different fields, but both the first and the second overlook the connotation of modernity. When discussing the modernity of "modern xiqu", professor Lü Xiaoping emphasizes both modern spirit and the dramatic principle of "the unity of plot", and professor Fu Jin emphasizes virtuosity and the subsequent self-discipline and …

A Study Of "The Anti-Modern Modernity" And Its Change In Two-Way Travels, Yuyu Wu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Since Wang Hui discussed "the anti-modern modernity" in detail in his article "Contemporary Chinese Thought and the Question of Modernity", the issue of Chinese modernity has become a bone of contention in the ideological circle of China. In fact, the theory did not grow from China, but was initially proposed by Western Leftist theorists. It affected Chinese scholars in the West and then entered China. This article focuses on the discussion of "the anti-modern modernity" by Arif Dirlik, Liu Kang and Wang Hui, and compares their different understandings and interpretations in Chinese and Western contexts. The theory of Arif Dirlik …

The Likening Of Pen Into Weaponry In Ancient Literary Criticism And The Metaphor System Of Literati's Writing And Craftsmen's Crafting, Minxue Huang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The analogy of pen with weapons is a phenomenon rich in hierarchy and systematicness in ancient literary criticism. It comes from the ancients' pursuit of words' real power, the habits of mind of metaphor with objects, the influence of war craft on art theory and the literati's hope of being well-versed in both polite letters and martial arts. It has kinds of existence forms and concludes words, literary form, atmosphere and ornate wording and so on. Besides, the analysis of the analogy of pen with weapons' production will guide us to a deeper system of literary criticism, which is the …

Ranges Of Understanding: On The Vast Scope Of Art Interpretation. A Wittgensteinian Perspective, Majetschak Stefan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The article examines the question of what "understanding an art work" means and offers some considerations about the ranges of understanding that we experience in interpretations of art: the vast scope between the contrasting extremes "expert knowledge" on the one hand and "art blindness" on the other. With respect to the philosophy of later Ludwig Wittgenstein it will be shown what these ranges originate from and why they are unavoidable. This may come as a surprise to some philosophers since Wittgenstein usually is not regarded as someone from whom one might expect pronouncements of an aesthetic nature. But in fact …

Refiguring "Philosophical Words": The Genesis Context And Classification Of Wang Chuanshan's Theory "Integrating Philosophy Into Emotions", Ningning Yang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

"Philosophical words" in poetry has always been an important issue in classical Chinese poetics. In its complicated development process, the poetic discourse of Wang Chuanshan played the role of clarification and remodeling. From the point of view of the source, some theories of poetry, such as "the law of things" in the Song dynasty, Yan Yu's ideas of "language, thought and image", "opposing reason in favor of emotion" put forth since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Hao Jing's idea of "the reason of poetry", Chen Baisha's idea of "using emotions to govern reason", became the context for the genesis of …

The Autonomy Of Literature And Literary Standards: A Study Of Earl Miner's Methodology Of Comparative Poetics, Jianxun Ji, Jianfeng Zhang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The autonomy of literature and literary standard is of great significance for Earl Miner's comparative poetics research. The former is the presupposition of Earl Miner's system of comparative poetics, and the latter its basic standard. Departing from these, Miner draws a map for the literary and poetic tradition of the West and the East, thereby redefining the essence of literature and literary genres from a comparative perspective and expounding the cultural and historical factors that have led to the difference. Key to his system, Earl Miner's assumption of literature autonomy and abidance to the literary standard in literary studies are …

The Psychology Of Marathon Television Viewing: Antecedents And Viewer Involvement, Riva Tukachinsky, Keren Eyal

Communication Faculty Articles and Research

This study focuses on the expanding trend of marathon (“binge”) television viewing. It examines the personality antecedents of such media consumption (attachment style, depression, and self-regulation deficiency) as well as the psychological experiences of marathon viewers relative to the narrative (transportation, enjoyment) and its characters (parasocial relationship, identification). In a two-study design, theoretical models of media use and involvement, on one hand, and models of media addiction, on the other hand, are applied to predict the extent of marathon viewing and to compare it with “traditional” viewing. Results advance understanding of enjoyment and involvement theory and support cognitive theories of …

Fang Dongshu's Comments On The Jiangxi Poetics, Sheng Wu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Fang Dongshu was an important writer of the later Tongcheng Literary School. He discussed poetics from the perspective of article writing style and therefore reframed the historical connection between the Jiangxi Poetics and Du Fu's Han Yu's "prose style in poetry". Fang Dongshu argued that although Huang Tingjian had learnt the creation of artistic conception from Du Fu and the expression of style from Han Yu, he didn't achieve the natural realm and smooth aesthetic found in them.Fang had a comprehensive and detailed analysis about the Jiangxi Poetics, summarized its value, ways of composition, experience, etc. These are the historical …
