Review Of Timothy K. Beal, The Book Of Hiding: Gender, Ethnicity, Annihilation And Esther, And Timothy S. Laniak, Shame And Honor In The Book Of Esther, Sidnie White Crawford Jul 2000

Review Of Timothy K. Beal, The Book Of Hiding: Gender, Ethnicity, Annihilation And Esther, And Timothy S. Laniak, Shame And Honor In The Book Of Esther, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

These two recent books on the Book of Esther by young scholars illustrate the vitality of new methods of interpretation of the biblical text; at the same time, they raise questions about the limits of these new methods. Laniak, approaching the Book of Esther from an anthropological perspective, uses its categories of honor and shame. Beal uses postmodern critical theory to illuminate the shifting meanings of “self” and “other” in Esther. The two books have several things in common—rather surprisingly, given their very different orientations. Neither author gives much attention to the historical value of the Book of Esther; both …

Cross Racial Preferences In Viewing Sexually Explicit Material: A Comparison Between African-American And Caucasian Males, Boyd Randal Horton May 2000

Cross Racial Preferences In Viewing Sexually Explicit Material: A Comparison Between African-American And Caucasian Males, Boyd Randal Horton

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The present study investigated that extent to which the race of actors in an erotic video affected sexual arousal in African-American and Caucasian heterosexual males. It was hypothesized that the two racial groups would be significantly more sexually aroused while watching their respective homoethnic erotic video. The hypothesis was grounded in the modeling effects of Bandura's Social Leaning Theory (1977), the Matching Hypothesis (1982) and worldview differences between African-Americans and Caucasians (Baldwin and Bell, 1985). Thirty-four African-American and Caucasian males were shown homoethnic and non-homoethnic erotic videos while penile circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and self-report ratings of sexual …


Hebraica Veritas? An Exhibition From The Collection Of The Center For Judaic Studies Library, Stephen G. Burnett, Seth Jerchower May 2000

Hebraica Veritas? An Exhibition From The Collection Of The Center For Judaic Studies Library, Stephen G. Burnett, Seth Jerchower

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Christian Hebraism was an offshoot of Renaissance humanism whose devotees—biblical scholars, theologians, lawyers, physicians, scientists, philosophers, and teachers in Latin schools—borrowed and adapted texts, literary forms, and ideas from Jewish scholarship and tradition to meet Christian cultural and religious needs. Intellectual and cultural exchange did occur between Jew and Christian during the Middle Ages, but paled by comparison with what occurred between 1450 and 1750. Encounters between cultures can be fruitful, but also very painful. Certainly Christian Hebraism had such effects both upon European Jewry, and upon western tradition. One of the most tangible witnesses to the sudden and sustained …


Character Portrayal In Historiography And Biography: A Comparison Of Pericles And Alcibiades In The Writings Of Thucydides And Plutarch, Sarah Janine Neilson May 2000

Character Portrayal In Historiography And Biography: A Comparison Of Pericles And Alcibiades In The Writings Of Thucydides And Plutarch, Sarah Janine Neilson

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Through the reading of histories characters are introduced that beg further study. Biographies on these individuals can provide the information often lacking in histories. Among the earliest biographies which can be studied alongside historical materials were those composed by the ancient Greeks. Despite many similarities between history and biography, early authors always considered them as distinct from one another. The differing manner in which these authors approached their subjects allows for those who read both to gain varying insights. Thus, through the reading of these ancient works readers can gain opposing interpretations of events and individuals. Among those works which …


Earth And Stars In The Cosmology Of Xenophanes, Alexander P.D. Mourelatos Apr 2000

Earth And Stars In The Cosmology Of Xenophanes, Alexander P.D. Mourelatos

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The doxography for Xenophanes of Colophon unambiguously attributes to him a theory that all the meteora, i.e. all 'objects suspended above us' or 'objects seen in the sky' are different types of clouds. My concern in this paper is with two sets of assumptions that are likely to have framed Xenophanes' theory: a) assumptions concerning the size and shape of the eareth, and b) assumptions concerning the motions of the fixed stars.

Literary And Poetic Performance In Plato's Laws, Gerard Naddaf Apr 2000

Literary And Poetic Performance In Plato's Laws, Gerard Naddaf

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Plato’s evaluations of the written and spoken word are complex, even ambiguous. On the one hand, he clearly privileges the give-and-take oral conversation as the paradigm for philosophical discussion, and on the basis of this paradigm he offers strong critiques of the written word, notably in the Phaedrus and Letter 7. On the other hand, he is a most famous enemy of the oral performance of poetry − notwithstanding the fact that in the Republic he gives ‘music’ a prominent place in education. When we turn to the Laws, we encounter another aspect or dimension of Plato’s thinking about the …


Thinking, Thought And Nous In Aristotle's De Anima, Michael Bowler Apr 2000

Thinking, Thought And Nous In Aristotle's De Anima, Michael Bowler

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Michael Wedin in his “Tracking Aristotle’s Nous’’ wishes to argue that the most plausible interpretation of De Anima, Book III, chapter 5 is . .that these chapters provide the essentials of a thoroughly finitistic account of individual noetic activity.” I want to argue that Wedin’s account is not the most plausible interpretation of Aristotle’s theory of individual noetic activity. I think Wedin’s interpretation misses a crucial distinction between the actualization of mind and the being of mind, insofar as he argues that mind is identical simpliciter with its object in the act of knowing when in fact, for Aristotle, mind …
