What A Character: Zora Neale Hurston’S Autobiographies, Amy M. Elliott

Amy M. Elliott

Zora Neale Hurston’s Dust Tracks on a Road is a complicated text that reflects a complicated woman, and one that falls somewhere between the categories of autobiography and biography. While the work cannot be completely discounted as autobiographical, it contains themes surprisingly reminiscent of James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. Like Johnson’s autobiography of a fictional man, Hurston’s account contains hard to believe situations that lead readers to question its authenticity and verisimilitude. Additionally, Hurston’s stance on the race issue, a preaching of one view while practicing another, leads to questioning. Further, Dust Tracks on a Road …

Logical Form And The Vernacular, Reinaldo Elugardo, Robert J. Stainton

Robert J. Stainton

Vernacularism is the view that logical forms are fundamentally assigned to natural language expressions, and are only derivatively assigned to anything else, e.g., propositions, mental representations, expressions of symbolic logic, etc. In this paper, we argue that Vernacularism is not as plausible as it first appears because of non-sentential speech. More specifically, there are argument-premises, meant by speakers of non-sentences, for which no natural language paraphrase is readily available in the language used by the speaker and the hearer. The speaker can intend this proposition and the hearer can recover it (and its logical form). Since they cannot, by hypothesis, …

The Return Of Assimilation? Changing Perspectives On Immigration And Its Sequels In France, Germany, And The United States, Rogers Brubaker

Rogers Brubaker

This article argues that the massive differentialist turn of the last third of the twentieth century may have reached its peak, and that one can discern signs of a modest “return of assimilation”. The article presents evidence of this from the domain of public discourse in France, public policy in Germany, and scholarly research in the US. Yet what has “returned” is not the old, analytically discredited and politically disreputable “assimilationist” understanding of assimilation, but a more analytically complex and normatively defensible understanding. The article concludes by specifying the ways in which the concept of assimilation has been transformed.

Narcissistic Self-Love, Male Body Objectification, And Homoeroticism In John Woos’ The Killer And Face/Off, Michele Gibney

Michele Gibney

A theme of homoeroticism/sexually charged appreciation of the male body exerts itself as a clear visual in The Killer and Face/Off. In this paper, some of these homoerotic images and the theoretically gender-based reasoning behind them will be explored. In some ways, Woos’ films The Killer and Face/Off, can be “read” as both example and counterexample to masculine-feminine discussions of gendered cinema. Laura Mulvey, for instance, posits the thesis that cinema is a vision dominated by patriarchal society. Both films I will be analyzing exemplify the superior role of male societal functions; such as males in positions of authority, or …

Partial Annotation Of The Sound And The Fury, Amy M. Elliott

Amy M. Elliott

A partial annotation of William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, this project focuses on the Quentin section, specifically, pages 125-145 of the First Vintage International Edition, October 1990. Annotations define and explain selected words and phrases from the text that are likely to be unknown, unfamiliar, or misunderstood by the average reader. This project examines linguistics, archaic words, and colloquialisms in some depth, while still including aspects of rural life (i.e. facts, folklore, customs, songs, and sayings); references to local history, laws, and customs; analogues; and various allusions and references. Further, it reflects extensive research drawn from literary criticism, …

The Future Of Talking Heads, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

In founding the Congress of the Americas, World Vernacular Congress, and the Dupont Summit, I have had a chance to reflect on the watering holes that spring up every year to nourish discourse and ego polishing. Finding ways to make the experience more useful, and insisting on the participation of students, have been consistent themes for me.

The Ku Klux Klan As An Influence Outside The Deep South, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

The Ku Klux Klan is a ritualistic fraternal organization, which puts it into the same category as the Moose, Eagles, Elks, and other animal crackers -- but only is one way. As I have said in several places, the Mafia is also an ngo. There are aberrant groups like the Klan that have seized some of the magic of fraternalism and ritual to entice members, as this somewhat controversial paper shows.

The Internationalization Of American Religions: Mormonism And Mexico, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

America has exported a baker's dozen of religions, and Mexico has been close enough to receive a full freight car load of cults and sects. None has been more effective in it s colonization than the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter DAy Saints, the Mormons. They have at least a million members South of the Border.
