Genotypes, Phenotypes, And Complex Human Behavior Including Scholarly Editing, Herman J. Saatkamp Jr. Mar 1999

Genotypes, Phenotypes, And Complex Human Behavior Including Scholarly Editing, Herman J. Saatkamp Jr.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

For quite some time I have been puzzled by the role of genetics in explaining both human characteristics and behavior. This curiosity led to several odd occupations for a philosopher/ editor. With a biochemist, I team-teach an honors course in genetics, and recently I became a faculty member and administrator in a college of medicine as well as a professor of pediatrics in a hospital-clinic research institution. These are not positions usually open to editors or philosophers, and one might wonder how they came about.

Intellectually, George Santayana's naturalism is the springboard for my interest. Although he maintains that all …

A Consonance Of Civility And Good-Will: Review Of Cleanth Brooks And Robert Penn Warren: A Literary Correspondence, Ed. James A. Grimshaw, Jr., Keen Butterworth

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The strength of Brooks's friendship pervades his letters published in Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren: A Literary Correspondence. Just as obvious is the strength of Warren's attachment to Brooks. Throughout these letters, extending from 1933 to 1988, mostly concerned with literary and professional matters, a tone of respectful deference obtains, but breaking through that tone quite often are glimpses of their heartfelt affection for one another. These glimpses usually come at the ends of letters, when the business matters have been concluded and one expresses his desire to see the other and his family, or is particularly warm in …

In The Shadows: The Search For Identity In The Writings Of Gloria Anzaldúa, Cherrie Moraga, Sandra Cisneros, And Julia Alvarez, Marcy Wood Benincasa

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

For years, the voice of the Chicana has been silenced by oppression. Anglos, Mexicans, and Chicanos have intentionally created such an oppression upon Chicanas that they were never allowed to tell stories of their own ideas, fears, and dreams. They were merely meant to be a voiceless servant to the male gender.

This master’s thesis will examine the racial and gender oppression that Chicanas Cisneros, and Julia Alvarez — focusing primarily on their attempts to establish a gender have faced over the centuries, beginning with the days of Malintzin and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, and continuing until the …
