Broken Households: Black And White Baptists And Methodists In Transition In Post-Emancipation Texas, Timothy "Ashton" Reynolds

History Theses and Dissertations

The end of slavery in Texas and the South undercut more than just the economic, labor, and social foundations in Texas. It undercut doctrinal certainty for white Baptists and Methodists and called into question two of their most valued beliefs: the biblical legitimacy of slavery and the divine appointment of white (and male) supremacy. This thesis asks and attempts to answer the question of how white Baptists and Methodists reacted when they were no longer able to practice slavery as a legally sanctioned religiously underpinned institution. By examining denominational documents, church minute books, writings by influential Baptist and Methodist figures, …

Le Accademie Bolognese E Romana: Reconsidering Center-Periphery Pedagogy, James Hutson

Faculty Scholarship

This article seeks a reevaluation of the relationship between the Carracci Accademia degli’Incamminati and the Accademia di San Luca in Rome with regards to structure, goals and pedagogy. For although the perceived pedagogical goals of the Carracci, especially the prosaic Annibale, and the most well-known Scholastic academician associated with the Roman Accademia, Federico Zuccaro, have traditionally been viewed as conflicting, the early history of the academy in Rome can be seen to parallel the Bolognese. Each was established to address the uncertain and evolving nature of the profession seen in each city, leading to a demand for a new type …

“詭辭”以見義 : 論《太史公自序》的書寫策略, Sudong Cheng

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

司馬遷通過一系列特别的書寫策略，將恢國、致孝、繼聖與發憤這四種表達意圖同時注入《太史公自序》之中，這當中既包括對《國語·楚語》、《孝經》等援據文獻的微妙改寫，也包括對“五百年”這一神秘數字的刻意渲染，在與壺遂的對話中呈現出的前後矛盾，以及對《春秋》、《吕氏春秋》、《孤憤》等文本生成背景的時空重塑。這一書寫方式源於《春秋》公羊學所強調的“詭辭”以見義的表現方式，對於這一書寫策略的梳理，有利於我們進一步理解《太史公自序》，乃至《史記》全書的立場與語言風格。

This paper argues that Sima Qian 司馬遷, author of Shiji 史記 (Records of the Grand Historian) implanted various expressive intentions into his autobiographic writing “Taishigong zixu” 太史公自序 (The Autobiography of the Senior Archivist) by applying a series of special writing techniques, including the delicate rewriting of Guoyu 國語 (Discourses of the States) and 沿孝經 (Book of Filial Piety), deliberate rendering of the mysterious number “five hundred years”, contradictions within his dialogue with Hu Sui, and reconstructions of the temporal and spatial backgrounds of Chunqiu 春秋 (Spring and Autumn Annals), Lushi chunqiu 呂氏春秋 (Master Lü’s Spring and Autumn Annals), Gufen …

韋孟、韋玄成詩背景考及以經爲詩論, Xu Hu, Meihui Liu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

韋孟和韋玄成是西漢《魯詩》學的著名代表，其傳世之作也每每體現了他們的經學家身份，研究者往往將二者互證。然考察韋孟《在鄒詩》之“我之退征，請於天子”後，容易發現這個説法與漢初諸侯國之官制多有齟齬，故該詩可能並非韋孟所作。《諷諫詩》究竟是否韋孟所作，自班固起已有懷疑，除了詩中塑造韋孟的忠謇形象與史實並不相符外，該詩與韋玄成《自劾詩》、《戒示子孫詩》某些方面的高相似度，也遠非模仿與借鑒所能解釋。尤可注意者，《自劾詩》與《諷諫詩》中多次化用《尚書》、《周易》等經典之句，可見諸經被確立崇高地位後，内部形成了一個封閉的體系。詩人的目的並非單純地言志抒情，而是要重新組合經典爲己所用。在此過程中，文本有了新的指向並獲得了新的生命力。

Wei Meng 韋孟 and Wei Xuancheng 韋玄 are well-regarded Lu shi 魯詩 scholars from the Western Han dynasty. Their poems also demonstrate their identity as classicists. In later scholarship, Wei Meng and Wei Xuancheng are often juxtaposed to highlight these achievements. An examination of “Zai zou shi” 在鄒詩 (Poem Written in Zou), a poem commonly attributed to Wei Meng, however, will reveal that Wei’s reputation of being a classicist and a poet has to do with the bureaucracy of Han dynasty principalities and consequently testifies against his authorship. Furthermore, the authorship of “Fengjian shi” 諷諫詩 (An Irony Poem), another …

情景交融與古典詩歌意象化表現範式的成立祉, Yin Jiang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

“情景交融”雖爲學界所通用，但却是一個相當模糊而理解多歧的概念，除了指示一種抽象狀態的結果外，並未提供什麽可供闡發、引申的理論線索，以致學界的定義長久以來一直停留在“情與景合，景與情合”的俗套表達上。本文認爲，情景交融作爲標誌着古典詩歌抒情藝術之成熟的美學特徵，是在特定審美意識和寫作策略的主導下逐漸被許多作者共同遵循、實踐並達致理論自覺的一種詩境構成模式，其結構特徵取決於作者們共同遵循的寫作範式。相關的概念還有寓情於景、借景言情、化景物爲情思、以景結情等等，它們分别負載着不同時代的詩論家對情景問題的關注。對這些命題的全面梳理，也就是對古典詩歌中情景關係的歷時性考察。本文从考察“情景交融”概念的由來入手，試圖通過對中古詩歌中情景關係的歷時性分析，説明“情景交融”的意象結構方式是在中唐詩歌意象化表現逐渐定型的背景下形成的。

Qing jing jiaorong 情景交融 (fusion of scene and emotion) has been widely used in the area of Chinese studies, but it is an extremely ambiguous concept that has been understood in various ways. Aside from indicating the effect of an abstract condition, it does not provide any clues for interpretation or theoretical extension, insofar as its definition has stagnated at trite expressions such as “feeing merging with the scene” or vice versa. This paper postulates the concept, “fusion of scene and emotion,” is not only an aesthetic development that marks the maturity of the lyrical art in classical Chinese …

唐詩詩題異名的類型、成因及性質闡論, Xiaoting Xian

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

唐詩在其流傳過程中，以及在各種不同的文獻載體中，經常被改題而出現多個題名。學界目前對於唐詩詩題異名進行綜合研究者甚少，本文從三個方面探討唐詩詩題的異名及其背後的成因，即别集總集編輯者改題、傳鈔中的他人改題以及唐詩入樂與改題。唐詩是中國古典詩歌藝術的高峰，它誕生於寫本時代，在唐代即被廣采入樂，又深受後世喜愛而廣爲流傳，流傳既廣則文本變異問題尤重。唐詩詩題異名問題是唐詩文本變異的一個重要組成部分。探討唐詩詩題異名的類型、過程、方式及其背後的成因，一方面有助於深化對唐詩以及唐詩詩題原貌的認識，另一方面，唐詩詩題異名的研究是唐詩接受史研究的重要内容，同時，以期通過對唐詩詩題異名進行深細的文本分析引發對寫本文本性質的反思。

During the process of dissemination through different kinds of media, Tang dynasty poems were frequently renamed and ended up having different titles. At the moment, there is limited systematic research on the variation of titles of Tang poems and the causes behind. This article will discuss the issue of varied multiple titles of Tang dynasty poetry and the corresponding causes from three perspectives, including the change of titles by editors of comprehensive (zongji 總集) and separate collections (bieji 别集), by others while making private copies, and through the adaptation of poems into music. Originated in the manuscript era, Tang …

北朝《漢書》學與北朝文學的漢代傳統, Danjun Cai

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

中古時期《漢書》學的發展，離不開十六國北朝時期北方地區的人們對《漢書》的闡釋、研究和利用。廣爲流行的《漢書》故事，重新構建了新時代所需要的漢代歷史，從而爲北朝《漢書》學奠定了社會基礎。在這個多民族融合的南北分裂時期，正統與華夷等觀念被不斷申明、強調，北方地區的政權紛紛向《漢書》尋求政治借鑒，《漢書》被作爲典章參考，進入實際的政治生活。北朝後期，北齊南來士人顔之推爲代表的《漢書》學研究，融合南北學術之長，是北朝《漢書》研究獲得新的學術成就。受時代影響，北朝《漢書》學對文學發展的影響同樣深遠，一方面，《漢書》學影響了北朝史傳文學的發展，崔鴻、魏收等史家皆以《漢書》爲標杆來撰史；另一方面，《漢書》學也引導了人們對漢代文學有所推崇和繼承。

The development of Han shu 漢書 (Book of the Former Han) study in medieval China cannot be separated from the interpretations, research, and appropriations of Book of the Former Han in the northern areas of the Sixteen Kingdoms and Northern Dynasties. The popular stories from Book of the Former Han reconstructed the history of the Han dynasty needed in the new era then, thus laying a social foundation for the study of Book of the Former Han in the Northern Dynasties. In this period of multi-ethnic integration, the concepts of orthodoxy and Han-Yi ( non-Han people, “barbaric”) distinction were …

曾鞏古文的美感特質 : 兼論其與歐陽古文的關係, Chi-Peng Ho

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

曾鞏古文自宋至清爲論者所推崇，以爲乃歐陽修嫡傳，然民國以後讀者漸少，學者雖猶時時論之，亦認同前揭前人説法，但對於曾鞏究竟如何承繼歐陽修，實缺乏細密分析與論述。按，歐陽修古文有二大特質：就行文言，極盡“宛轉”之能事；就格調言，則多濃厚抒情。本文謹擇曾鞏《相國寺維摩院聽琴序》、《齊州雜詩序》、《贈黎安二生序》、《王無咎字序》、《墨池記》等五篇爲例，以見曾文之“宛轉”風貌；復取《送王希字潛之序》、《學舍記》、《劉伯聲墓誌銘》、《二女墓誌》、《懷友一首寄介卿》等五篇爲例，以見曾文之“抒情”格調，冀可藉此彰顯曾文之美感特質，並且適時與歐文對照，俾以掌握歐、曾相承之關係，間亦指出二者之差異，供學者參考。

Zeng Gong’s 曾鞏 guwen 古文 (ancient-style prose) is viewed as a direct successor to Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修 and is well regarded by the scholars from the Song to Qing dynasties. However, his readership declined since the Republican Era ( 1912 _ 1949) . In spite of the discussions on his work with continued appreciation, there lacks detailed analysis and treatise of the ways in which Zeng Gong succeeded Ouyang Xiu in terms of ancient-style writing. Ouyang Xiu’s ancient-style writing occupies two main aesthetic features, including, first of all, the tactful and wanzhuan 宛轉(euphemistic) writing style; second, the sentimental and …

開啟南北朝至唐代遊仙詩道教化的轉關 : 上清經派道人楊羲的道教遊仙詩, Hong Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

上清經派道人楊羲等在製作上清經的過程中，開創了以扶乩降筆之法創作道教遊仙詩的神秘創作方式。楊羲開創了女仙婚戀遊仙詩、煉丹奉道的遊仙詩等新的遊仙詩類型，以道教各種修煉方式和功法爲主要内容，變遊仙詩爲修道詩，使遊仙詩的整體風貌大變。在仙境的營構描寫上，楊羲詩歌濃墨重彩地鋪排渲染了道教神仙活動的繁華熱鬧世界，在詩歌中第一次形象生動地描寫了煉丹奉道活動的神奇景象，散發出濃郁的宗教神秘氣息，使得遊仙詩中的“龍虎之氣”從此生生不息，開啟了南北朝至唐代遊仙詩道教化的轉關。對後代詩人特别是李白等的煉丹類遊仙詩産生了深遠的影響。

During the process of constructing Shangqing jing 上清經 (Shangqing School Scripture), Daoist Yang Xi 楊羲 created a mystical method of writing Daoist mystical excursion poems through planchette writing. Yang initiated created mystical excursion poems about fairies coming down to earth for love and marriage and about Daoists alchemy. Focused on Daoist practices, these poems changed the style of mystical excursion poetry to Daoist cultivation. On the description of fairyland, he praised a lively and bustling world of Daoist immortals in gaudy colors, and for the first time, depicted vividly the magical scenes of how Daoist alchemists create pills of …

北京大學藏西漢竹書《妄稽》釋讀斠正, Yunhe Xu, Qingxin Zheng

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

北京大學藏西漢竹書《妄稽》是漢代形成的文學作品，釋讀難度較大，2015年整理發佈以來備受學界關注，成爲近年來簡帛研究的一個聚焦之點。本文踵事續貂，勉爲考釋，所得六十八例。一是糾正過去文字釋讀存在的一些錯誤或偏差，二是對未及釋讀或疑不能明的字句作進一步的考察和研究，三是對一些句子的句讀問題重新作出研判，使之趨於合理。所做的工作基本覆蓋了全篇，希望能够對一個可供閲讀的文本的形成有所推進。

The Scientific Romances Of Jules Verne And H.G. Wells: Imperialism Disguised As Progress In The Early Days Of Science Fiction, Timothy Ferris

Theses and Dissertations

Frequently in their respective oeuvres, Verne and Wells write in a rhetoric of conquest that almost always translates to discovering a more efficient means of taming wild, non-European environments. These goals extend not only to the lands that their protagonists explore, but also to human beings and other life that may populate them. Indeed, the underlying focus—the one that is masked behind the thrill and adventure of both Wells and Verne—is none other than the march of progress as understood by middle-class Europeans in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Progress can produce positivistic optimism, and it can also …

"Queen Of Kings": Masculinity And Femininity In The Visual Rhetoric Of Cleopatra Vii And Augustan Distortions Thereof, Allen Alexander Kendall

Theses and Dissertations

To address every aspect in which Cleopatra VII asserted her right to rule and maintain the favor of her own subjects and of Rome would be far too large a task for anything less than a book-length treatment. Rather than attempt to address multiple issues, this thesis addresses just one aspect of Cleopatra's political strategy to visualize her legitimacy as ruler: namely a combination of masculine and feminine elements in her iconography. This thesis will then follow the same themes in elements of Cleopatra's visual rhetoric was seized upon by the poets of Augustan Rome, who used it to the …

Female Experience Of Trauma And Mourning In Two Postconflict Novels Of El Salvador And Peru: Roza, Tumba, Quema By Claudia Hernández, And La Sangre De La Aurora By Claudia Salazar, Raquel Castro Salas

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation focuses on how literature approaches the Salvadoran and Peruvian armed conflicts and contributes with perspectives of the female experience while offering illustrations of mourning processes. It is based on a close analysis of two postconflict novels that emerged after the publication of the corresponding truth commissions final reports. These novels are Roza, tumba, quema (2017) by Claudia Hernández from El Salvador, and La sangre de la aurora (2013) by Claudia Salazar from Peru. The contributions studied in this analysis focus on two areas: (1) a problematization of the female experience of the armed conflicts, and (2) a focus …

Virtual Dissection Of White Matter Tracts In A Human Brain Using Applied Game Design And Virtual Reality Imaging, Basil Lim, Anurag Nasa, Nicola Carswell, Elena Roman, Malia Kissner, Darren W. Roddy, Veronika O'Keane, James Carswell

Other

Visualisation of neural tracts in the human brain has previously been accomplished using two dimensional (2D) representational formats. In most cases, pre-operative visualisation is through the medium of 2D MRI image slices, representing coordinates in the brain through a combination of axial, sagittal, and coronal orthographic viewpoints. Software such as ExploreDTI can visualise off-axis viewpoints, however this method is limited to 2.5D image representations. The use of such 2D representations can require significant training in order to contextualise real-world 3D positions and accurately locate and identify neural tract pathways in the brain. Utilising anonymised tract data and advanced neuroimaging technologies …

Moving Beyond ‘Therapy’ And ‘Enhancement’ In The Ethics Of Gene Editing, Bryan Cwik

Philosophy Faculty Publications and Presentations

Since the advent of recombinant DNA technology, expectations (and trepidations) about the potential for altering genes and controlling our biology at the fundamental level have been sky high. These expectations have gone largely unfulfilled. But though the dream (or nightmare) of being able to control our biology is still far off, gene editing research has made enormous strides toward potential clinical use. This paper argues that when it comes to determining permissible uses of gene editing in one important medical context—germline intervention in reproductive medicine—issues about enhancement and eugenics are, for the foreseeable future, a red herring. Current translational goals …

Horse Racing During The Civil War: The Perseverance Of The Sport During A Time Of National Crisis, Danael Christian Suttle

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Horse racing has a long and uninterrupted history in the United States. The historiography, however, maintains that horse racing went into hiatus during the Civil War. This simply is not true. While it is true that horse racing saw a decline in the beginning of the war, by the time the war ended, the sport had risen to similar heights as seen before the war. During the war, the sport was enjoyed by both soldiers and civilians. In the army, soldiers would often have impromptu camp races. As the war continued on, camp races became frowned upon by officers. The …

Zero Textbook Cost Syllabus For Eng 2150 (Writing Ii), Elizabeth Mannion

Open Educational Resources

In this class, the second of a two-course sequence in the Pathways Required Core, we’ll explore how language and other meaning-making symbols reflect the Gramercy neighborhood, home to Baruch College, particularly during the Gilded Age (1870s-1914). We’ll read literature of the period by authors with ties to this neighborhood, and study the 1913 Armory Show (which was held across the street at the 69th Regiment Armory), which blurred, challenged, and disrupted the social lines of Gilded Age New York.

A Kingdom Of Co-Inherence: Christian Theology And The Laws Of King Magnus The Lawmender Of Norway, 1261-1281, Dillon Richard Frank Knackstedt

Masters Theses

This thesis explains a new interpretation of the law books written during the reign of King Magnus the Lawmender of Norway (1239-1280, crowned 1261, r.1263-1280). In the process it also teases out common themes in Norway’s early histories, Iceland’s early laws, and biblical exegesis and re-writes much of what is assumed about “church” and “state” in this era, beginning at Magnus’ coronation and ending with the fraught year following his death, 1281.

According to the new interpretation explored in these four chapters, the laws of Magnus the Lawmender were not an attempt at royal legitimization of the king’s exclusive right …

Multiperspectivity Through Alternative History In The Classroom, Anggita Parameswari Latif

Graduate Masters Theses

This paper aims to evaluate existing teaching approaches in middle school history classrooms that incorporate alternative history materials. Alternative history focuses on the question of what might have happened differently, or ‘what if?’ The study focuses on addressing the following question: How does the understanding of one event’s significance on the chain of historical occasions contribute to students’ engagement in discussing past and current conflicts, based on teachers’ points of view? Interviews with 10 education practitioners focused on exploring the ways students can learn to see history creatively while developing tolerance. Existing approaches are explored through the viewpoints of conflict …
