Stopping Up The Works: Weir’S The Plumber And Social Class Conflict, William Blick

Publications and Research

The Plumber, an Australian film by director Peter Weir, is an exploration of different characters from diverse backgrounds thrown together in an awkward and challenging situation. It manages to play on audience’s biases about the working class. The director succeeds in is giving us is a Hitchcockian exploration of clashing socio-educational-economical forces, and straddles the line between value judgement and simple interpersonal experiment.

Preparing Social Workers For Practice With Lgbt Populations Affected By Substance Use: Perceptions From Students, Alumni And Service Providers, Michael P. Dentato Phd, Msw, Brian Kelly, Michael R. Lloyd, Nikki Busch

Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works

Trends in the field of service among those with alcohol and other drug addictions highlight the urgent need for schools of social work to effectively train students to serve clients with substance use disorders, and have cultural humility to effectively serve disproportionately affected LGBT consumers. Online surveys and interviews examined perceptions of graduate social work students and alumni in a certified alcohol and drug counselor program, along with several service providers within an urban setting in the US. Results indicated that students and alumni did not feel adequately prepared through coursework to practice with LGBT populations affected by substance use, …

近代報刊小說轉載編年史, Dakang Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

自梁啟超宣導“小説界革命”後，小説的地位驟然上升，報刊這一新傳播方式的出現，更有力地推動了小説的發展，人們的閲讀熱情也相應高漲。刊載小説可擴大報刊銷量，但當創作落後於傳播的發展時，許多報刊都面臨稿源不足的問題，轉載其他報刊上作品的現象由此而産生。本文以編年體展現了報刊小説轉載現象的萌生與逐步蔓延，其中涉及轉載的作品、報刊、各種廣告與告白，以及與之相關的各種事件。由於是按時序排列，轉載現象發展態勢顯示得較爲清晰，可供近代報刊小説研究者參考。

神理與妙悟, Jing Zhang

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

詩歌創作中“理”的價值如何？應該是什麽樣的形態？本文主張，詩中不惟可以言理，而且詩中之理應該有著獨特的本質特徵和審美規律。王夫之提出的“神理”，似乎可以作爲詩中之“理”的理想形態。“神理”的内涵，當然不同於一般的邏輯概念，不同於理論形式，甚至與錢鍾書在《談藝録》中所描述的“理趣”也並非完全相同。“神理”主要不是指其在詩歌篇什中的實體性質，而是指詩人與物象“心目相取”的意向性活動。從主體角度而言，“妙悟”是詩人獲致“神理”的基本思維方式。“妙悟”源於佛學，指參證佛教終極真理的直覺思維。而終極真理的特徵即是不可分性。後來詩論家嚴羽以“妙悟”爲詩學思維的根本，同時認爲詩歌創作是不能通過“理路”即邏輯思維方式進行的。至王夫之、葉燮則正面揭示了“理”在詩歌中存在的合理性，在詩中不僅可以有“理”，而且有最爲重要的價值。“神理”是“妙悟”的内涵與對象，“妙悟”是“神理”的思維方式。

Inside Out [Published Under The Title "Sam Shepard Is A Place"], Marianne Rogoff

Collected Faculty Scholarship

"Sam Shepard is a place, and in The One Inside (Knopf 2017) you’re there with him on the ground in the American desert. Shepard doesn’t like to fly so maybe this gives him a different point of view from the rest of us who are always taking off, in the air, and landing. His characters are found in motel rooms on empty highways, on porches, wandering open space, asleep under overpasses, walking next to the interstate as cars fly by so fast they never stop to notice anyone’s there."

The Good Crisis: How Population Stabilization Can Foster A Healthy U.S. Economy, Owen G. Mordaunt

International Dialogue

Even though there is a notion of a birth dearth, this text aims at debunking the common belief that a population that is not growing due to declining fertility spells disaster for our world. The population has declined over time, but in reality the world continues to add 83 million people each year. Some birth dearthers, citing low fertility in affluent nations, express concern about “moral decay” (vi). For example, “smaller and unconventional families” will harm the United States because there will be fewer children and there will not be enough people to care for the elderly (vii). The authors …

Essential Strategies For Leaders To Develop A Healthy Church, Angelo Desalles Logan

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Many churches are dying as they fail to grow and produce disciples. As with the human body, a church’s overall health must be maintained to operate effectively for the Kingdom. In today’s world, experts predict that nearly 4,000 churches will close every year in America, and well over 3,500 people will leave churches every single day. Although these numbers are staggering, many churches still produce disciples, grow, and remain vibrant year after year. The overall health of a church plays a critical role in retaining and spiritually growing members. This thesis project will give biblical definitions of the spiritual health …

Community Relational Soul Care: A Transformational Paradigm For Restoring God's People To Spiritual Vitality, Julie Ann Larsen

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This ministry project is a transformational paradigm for relational soul care in a community that partners with mentors to restore God’s children to spiritual vitality for the fulfillment of His plan. The reason for this topic is that after counseling, people still need continued soul care; without continued soul care, they falter, get frustrated, and fall back into unhealthy behaviors. In this research approach, the care seeker is placed with a mentor and a community fellowship group until they flourish in their time. The research method will be a twenty-question Likert Scale Interview for two fellowship groups: men and women. …

Creating And Sustaining A Missional Movement In America, Bradley Milks

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This project seeks to create a paradigm and plan that would generate a sustainable missional movement in America. America, since her founding, has been home to many revivals. However, there have only ever been two missional movements, the Methodist and Baptist in the 18th and 19th century. For decades, the American Church has watched the general population increase while church attendance, participation, and involvement decrease. While the American Church loses its impact on society, the Global South and Global East are experiencing missional movements. A new missional paradigm and plan is needed to reach America, especially as culture increasingly becomes …

Reaching The Thai People Of Southeast Asia: A Model For Discipleship And Leadership Training, Duane D. Carmody

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This thesis addresses training the Thai national leadership in discipleship and leadership qualities to develop a church planting movement with the main goal of evangelizing the unreached people groups throughout the countries of China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. The Thai have become dependent on foreign funds and though they are an independent people, they are beginning to realize that there are strings attached—with money comes control. The model will be built around a sustainable farm, which will help in developing vocational skills in order to become indigenous and autonomous. In this thesis it is my purpose to present a …

The Status Is Not Quo: Unraveling Music Videos, Gary T. Hanby

Theses and Dissertations

The Utah State Standards for media arts are general and therefore give teachers a great deal of freedom in how they present the content for media arts courses. How the teacher engages students and project assignments are left to the teacher as they walk the students through the process of making films. This thesis explores how an art teacher might use music videos to teach filmmaking techniques and engage students in the process of meaning making. My research hypothesis is that, by educating students to understand and interpret the messages they consume through media, I can help them recognize the …

Presentation And Final Research Paper For Eng 102 [English], Anita Baksh

Open Educational Resources

English 102 is a required course for almost all LaGuardia students. While most students enroll in the course in their second semester, there are some advanced students who take the course later. It is recommended that Composition I and II be taken in sequence since the latter builds upon skills acquired in the first composition course. Composition II is a process-based writing course. Students further develop the critical thinking, writing, and research skills they acquired in ENG 101. They learn close-reading techniques and study diverse texts in at least three genres (poetry, drama, and fiction). Students are required to write …

Identifying And Exploring A Literary Question [English], Cristina Bruns

Open Educational Resources

ENG 102, as a baseline course aligned with the Integration and Problem Solving competency and written ability, has two broad learning objectives: that students will read and analyze literary texts and that they will write academic essays.

The students in ENG 102 are usually non-majors in the first or second year of their college work and are taking the class to meet the second semester of composition that is required of most majors. Consequently, many of them enter the class with limited experience in reading and analyzing literary texts, and so the assignment is difficult for many students.

This assignment …

Sexual/Textual Politics In The Women Of Ophelia A. Dimalanta’S Poems, Ma. Socorro Q. Perez

English Faculty Publications

The study attempts to show that while Ophelia A. Dimalanta’s excellent New Critical training and education have rendered her a quintessential poet conscious of form, technique, and craftsmanship, which in turn, has been foregrounded by her equally New Critical-trained colleagues, this New Critical tradition has limited the study of her oeuvre to artistic structure and form, glossing over myriad concerns that the poems may have. The present study, in turn, has recuperated form, technique, and genre to encode the feminism that undergirds her poetic vision. Foregrounding Dimalanta’s vision enfleshed in art, the study recuperates the sexual/textual politics in Dimalanta’s Lady …

La Poesía De Nicolás Guillén Y Luis Palés Matos: En Defensa De La Herencia Negra, Rocio Vélez Pesante

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Este trabajo de investigación explora una selección de poemas de los autores Nicolás Guillén (Cuba 1992-1989) y Luis Palés Matos (Puerto Rico 1989-1959) para demostrar como ambos contribuyeron a la discusión sobre la herencia negra en la identidad de sus respectivos países, si bien, sus obras tuvieron una diferente recepción. También nos proponemos probar que, aunque ambos han sido estudiados más como autores de la corriente negrista dentro de la poesía caribeña hispana, algunos de sus poemas pueden ser leídos desde las perspectivas del pensamiento de la Negritude. Por último, mediante un análisis tropológico determinaremos qué figuras retóricas predominan …

前言, Zidong Xu

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

《嶺南學報》復刊，已經第八輯。這是第一次較集中地刊載現當代文學研究的論文。我們是在2015 年春開始策劃相關專輯的。最初我和系内教現代文學的同事商議，開一個“故事新編與穿越”的會。不久我在港大開會碰到王德威談起這個設想，我們覺得這個題目必然關涉現當代，也必然與古典有關。“穿越”課題既是熱點又是“禁區”，卻鮮有嚴肅的學術討論。我們想請些行内的專家來，平心静氣地討論。王教授很感興趣，答應一定會來。同年秋天，學報主編蔡宗齊教授建議把會議題目改爲“現代與古典文學的相互穿越：故事新編與理論重建”，話題從現當代創作擴展到理論，時間跨度則涵蓋古典和現當代。事實上，後來在會上宣讀的論文，的確可分兩類，一是研討現當代創作的“穿越”現象，二是理論研究中的“跨學科”實踐。

追摹、混搭與穿越 : 晚清畫報中的古今對話, Pingyuan Chen

嶺南學報 Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies

學界多看重晚清畫報的“中外互動”，若能同時兼及“古今對話”，論述將更具張力。因爲，思接千古乃人類思考及文化創造的基本模式，只不過不同時代，古今之間的對立／ 對峙／對話的强度與頻率有很大差異。本文將畫報作爲一個“大文本”看待，討論其中新聞與古事如何騰挪趨避，趣味與筆法怎樣互相交融，並借此造成某種新奇感與陌生化效果。

The Role Of Social Anarchism And Geography In Constructing A Radical Agenda: A Response To David Harvey, Martha A. Ackelsberg, Myrna Margulies Breitbart

Study of Women, Gender, & Sexuality: Faculty Publications

David Harvey’s response to Simon Springer (2014) raises important questions about the places from which to draw ideas for a radical geography agenda. Nevertheless, Harvey ignores critical contributions that social anarchists (including social geographers) have made to understanding both the theory and practice of social transformation. We draw on studies of the anarchist movement in Spain before and during the Spanish Civil War to explore some of what social anarchism has to contribute to geography and contemporary struggles for a more equitable society.

The Geopolitics Of Rare Earth Elements: Emerging Challenge For U.S. National Security And Economics, Bert Chapman

Libraries Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research

Rare earth elements (REE) contain unique chemical and physical properties such as lanthanum, are found in small concentrations, need extensive precise processes to separate, and are critical components of modern technologies such as laser guidance systems, personal electronics such as IPhones, satellites, and military weapons systems as varied as Virginia-class fast attack submarines, DDG- 51 Aegis destroyers, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and precision guided munitions. The U.S. has some rare earth resources, but is heavily dependent on access to them from countries as varied as Afghanistan, Bolivia, and China. Losing access to these resources would have significant adverse economic, …
