Euphony In Paul: Sound Matters In Romans 1:18–2:29, Keith L. Yoder Feb 2015

Euphony In Paul: Sound Matters In Romans 1:18–2:29, Keith L. Yoder

Keith L. Yoder

This is an annotated oral reading of Romans 1:18–2:29, using the phonemic Koine pronunciation promoted by Randall Buth. The oral reading is supplemented by a detailed aural mapping of the text, laid out and formatted somewhat following "Sound Mapping the New Testament" by Lee and Scott. The features discovered here demonstrate that this text is a unified piece, with definite beginning and ending, exhibiting a style distinct from the rest of Romans. The author uses a variety of sound structures, from character level, to syllables, words, and phrases, even sorting a long list by sound. As a result, the reader …

Dogs On The Frontier: Human-Canine Relationships In Central Kentucky, 1770-1792, Andrew P. Patrick Jan 2015

Dogs On The Frontier: Human-Canine Relationships In Central Kentucky, 1770-1792, Andrew P. Patrick

Andrew P Patrick

Dogs played utilitarian roles, as hunting partners, sentries and trackers that provided assistance in the difficult physical landscape, but they also filled setters’ less obvious, psychological needs by serving as companions or by helping humans assert their dominance over the threats posed by the natural world.


Wasting Paradise: The Destruction Of The Bison On The Kentucky Frontier, Andrew P. Patrick Jan 2015

Wasting Paradise: The Destruction Of The Bison On The Kentucky Frontier, Andrew P. Patrick

Andrew P Patrick

Ultimately, the buffalo were casualties of the imposition of a new ecological order on the landscape as it underwent a transformation from hunting ground to agricultural system in the Euro-American model.

Pégame Pero No Me Dejes: La Disputa Entre El Espacio Buga Y El Gay En Quizás No Entendí (1997) De Gerardo Guiza Lemus, Juan Carlos Rocha Osornio Feb 2014

Pégame Pero No Me Dejes: La Disputa Entre El Espacio Buga Y El Gay En Quizás No Entendí (1997) De Gerardo Guiza Lemus, Juan Carlos Rocha Osornio

Juan Carlos Rocha Osornio, Ph.D

Teniendo en cuenta el trasfondo del SIDA y “pasado el susto” como se expresara el escritor mexicano de temática homosexual, Luis González de Alba, la comunidad gay mexicana de finales del siglo XX continúa haciendo frente a nuevas vicisitudes. Sin embargo, ninguna de ellas se aparta del incasable (y aunque parezca trillado) deseo de conocer a ese alguien especial, a esa persona con la cual entablar una relación que vaya más allá del simple ligue sexual; es decir y en términos concretos a la búsqueda de una relación de pareja duradera. En este trabajo analizo la novela Quizás no entendí …


Repentance And Return As Unifying Themes In The Book Of The Twelve, Gary E. Yates Dec 2013

Repentance And Return As Unifying Themes In The Book Of The Twelve, Gary E. Yates

Gary E Yates

Recent study on the Book of the Twelve has focused on these books as an editorial unity. This study focuses on how repentance and return are unifying themes for the Book of the Twelve as a whole. Israel's inadequate responses to the prophetic calls for repentance in the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian periods requires that the Lord will act in more decisive ways in the eschatological era to bring about Israel's ultimately return.

Dynamics Of Civil Resistance In Oceania, Thomas Dick, Jason Mcleod, Luke Johnston Jun 2013

Dynamics Of Civil Resistance In Oceania, Thomas Dick, Jason Mcleod, Luke Johnston

Thomas Dick

The Dynamics of Civil Resistance (DOCR), is a not-for-profit popular education and cultural development programme in Oceania. We work in collaboration with churches, human rights organisations, traditional leaders, women leaders, youth and student groups and community organisations to establish a network of indigenous educators who can resource nonviolent social movements and democratic transitions.

DOCR has developed out of programs that originated in 2005, in response to requests from Papuan human rights activists (Rayfield and Morello 2012). The purpose of the Project is to build their capacity of activists and artists working nonviolently for a just and sustainable peace in the …

Intimacy In Isolation And The Amplitude Of Reality: Virginia Woolf’S Tense Intimacies, Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze May 2013

Intimacy In Isolation And The Amplitude Of Reality: Virginia Woolf’S Tense Intimacies, Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze

Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze

Virginia Woolf identifies four “dimensions” of human life: “I mean: I: & the not I: & the outer & the inner” (Diary 4: 353). The permeability of these dimensions is at the core of Woolf’s experiments in “re-form[ing]” the novel (Diary 1: 356). Woolf’s novels represent the simultaneously unavoidable isolation and permeability of self, other, internality, and externality; Lacan would later characterize this permeability with the figure of the Mobius strip and his concept of “extimacy,” the simultaneous position of the Other external to, yet at the core of the self. Through analyses of affectively intense representations of consciousness and …

Indigenismo From Below? Carlos Castaneda, New Age Anthropology And Identity Politics, Ageeth Sluis Jan 2013

Indigenismo From Below? Carlos Castaneda, New Age Anthropology And Identity Politics, Ageeth Sluis

Ageeth Sluis

This paper explores the intersections between Carlos Castaneda’s work on shamanism, indigenismo, and larger changes within the field of anthropology from the 1960s to 1980s. Castaneda introduced a large readership to Mexico at a time when the Americas saw pronounced socio-political and cultural changes. Despite criticism by fellow anthropologists, Castaneda's bestselling books became instrumental in constructing new indigenous identities, a magical Mexico, and new directions in anthropology. This paper seeks to understand Castaneda within a larger historical context of the historical trajectories of indigenismo and changes in gender and race identity politics both in Mexico and the U.S. due to …


Creating Policy That Supports Living Cultural Expression In Melanesia, Thomas Dick Jan 2013

Creating Policy That Supports Living Cultural Expression In Melanesia, Thomas Dick

Thomas Dick

In Vanuatu, communities have expressed a desire to continue leading lifestyles based on a traditional economic base. In the context of economic globalisation, however, this possibility is being ignored or denied by government policy decisions made on the basis of ‘economic rationalism’. There is growing concern that these government decisions are in fact destructive of ‘popular cultural expressions’, and do not respect the values of the community in relation to its development.

In 2006, an ‘Economic opportunities fact-finding mission’ to the Pacific Island nation of Vanuatu was sponsored by NZAID and AusAID. The report that followed recognized that ‘many of …


Giving Voice To Cultural Enterprises From The Global South, Ben Farr-Wharton, Thomas Dick, Jaime Ruiz-Gutiérrez, Siegrid Guillaumon, Tania Casado, Lucas Gomes, Luke Johnston Jan 2013

Giving Voice To Cultural Enterprises From The Global South, Ben Farr-Wharton, Thomas Dick, Jaime Ruiz-Gutiérrez, Siegrid Guillaumon, Tania Casado, Lucas Gomes, Luke Johnston

Thomas Dick

Over the last decade-and-a-half there has been a rise in the amount of academic research exploring the conceptual and historical interactions of ‘culture’ and ‘the market’ (see for example Caves (2000), Cunningham (2002), Pratt (2004), Throsby (2008), O'Connor (2009), O'Connor (2010)). Although contentious, the impetus for this has largely been the establishment of the ‘creative industry’ discourse and how it has been applied globally in policy and practice (Cunningham 2009). Despite this, with only a few notable exceptions, the theory and concepts that underpin this discourse have largely been derived through research contexts that are Anglo/Euro-centric and metropolitan. The purpose …


Romans 1:18-2:29: A Stylometric Reconsideration, Keith L. Yoder Dec 2012

Romans 1:18-2:29: A Stylometric Reconsideration, Keith L. Yoder

Keith L. Yoder

Here I use the tools of multivariate data analysis to reconsider the proposal that Romans 1:18-2:29 was not originally composed by Paul. I examine the distributions of the 35 most frequent words in the New Testament epistolary Greek text, using Correspondence Analysis, Cluster Analysis, and Linear Discriminant Analysis. These tests jointly reveal a distinct statistical demarcation between Romans 1:18-29 and the undisputed Pauline letters, as well as differentiation between the undisputed Paulines and all the other letters of the New Testament. Data analysis thus supports the proposal that Romans 1:18-2:29 is a non-Pauline text.

Note of 12 September 2018: This …


Post-Colonial Reflexivities Of Ni-Vanuatu Urban Youth In The Muisc Industry, Thomas Dick, Monika Stern Dec 2012

Post-Colonial Reflexivities Of Ni-Vanuatu Urban Youth In The Muisc Industry, Thomas Dick, Monika Stern

Thomas Dick

The urban music of “developing” countries is a privileged form of expression for young people. Across international borders, musicians identify with each other as opposed to “non-musicians”, but at the same time assert themselves as privileged messengers of the young people of their community, their town and, in some cases, their country in general. Music is often subject to the paradox between admiration and disapproval: the talented musician as star or idol, appearing in the media, wearing “in” clothes, etc, as opposed to the unstable musician who is drugged, alcoholic, unfaithful, incapable, etc.

Today, the nascent music industry in Port …

Before There Was Bluegrass: Central Kentucky Prior To European Settlement, Andrew P. Patrick Jan 2012

Before There Was Bluegrass: Central Kentucky Prior To European Settlement, Andrew P. Patrick

Andrew P Patrick

By drawing on scientific, archaeological and historical sources, this study aims to trace the dramatic changes in the landscape that occurred before American settlers arrived to create an “agroecosystem” geared toward sustaining and enriching a growing populace. What emerges is a new periodization of central Kentucky’s ecological history. The landscape was not a static background factor passively awaiting European arrival; instead it underwent multiple transformations due to the changing interactions of human and natural influences.
