summary:
  When the members of the family leave the self-contained unit and enter the production-based society, the individuals suffer commodification and, as a result, the relations amongst family member are abnormally altered. Little by little, the plea to reinstate a masculine provider (a role that Engels ascribes to the false sovereignty of private interest) is replaced with the desire for natural affection amongst family members and, as women assert their materiality in the market, the family achieves their “salvation in a false direction” (Engels 156).

Yet, Schillebeeckx asserts that resurrection hope is nothing more than “human longing” and Jesus’ death is “sheer failure” if there are not signs of the resurrection within Jesus’ life of preaching the kingdom.36 Jesus’ praxis of the kingdom anticipates his resurrection.37 Hope of the resurrection then is closely associated with and grounded in the hope of the kingdom.

Unwanted child filicide occurs when mothers, for reasons such as illegitimacy or uncertain paternity, kill their children through acts of aggression or through neglect; spouse revenge filicide occurs when the parent seeks to “get back” at his or her spouse for some particular reason – usually revenge for infidelity; in acutely psychotic filicide, the parent kills the child under the influence of a severe mental illness or psychotic episode.

Their rhetorical patterns are used not to form the harmonious whole one would imagine from a poem informed by Dante and Boethius, but rather one which leaves its traveler — who, as a man of the “studye” (RC 356, l. 633) prefers books to experience — more bewildered (ostensible, though it is no more likely that the man or authority would provide a staid explanation for all that has preceded him) at the end of his journey than at the beginning.

Each of these texts includes a protagonist, Lemuel Gulliver in one and Imlac in the other, who often functions as a vehicle through which the author is able to express his beliefs, whether explicit or subtle, on all matters of life, including issues concerning language and its relation to society.

summary:
  What finally convinced me of the wrongness of the Church’s teachings was not that they were intellectually so confused, but that in the circumstances of my own life – and of the lives I discovered around me – they seemed so destructive of the possibilities of human love and self- realization.9 Thus, it was not because the Church’s teaching was illogical that Sullivan found it to be incoherent, but because, in his effort to apply that teaching to his own life, he experienced it as an obstacle to love and genuine self- discovery. If we accept the continuity of human love that these assertions about sanctifying relationships assume, then it seems accurate to hold that it is out of a self-serving love which seeks to gain something from the other that an integrated self-love which enables the other to be develops.

  More specifically, warming presents a potential issue for migratory bird populations, and those that do not change their migration timing to match their resources available are at a significant disadvantage (Burger et al., 2012). Due to these shifts in so many ecosystem dynamics, such as flower timing, herbivore interactions, and seasonal breeding, climate change is causing a large shift in the possibilities of population trajectories for migratory bird populations (Johansson & Jonzén, 2012).

A second point against the effectiveness of SJS is that quantitative studies of jury trials have estimated that jury selection accounts for between 5% and 15% of verdict variability; the extra-jury aspects of the tr ial therefore account for the vast majority of verdict variance (85%-95%) (Fulero & Penrod, 1990).

  Under the proposed form of district method herein proposed, however, gerrymandering for this purpose would be impractical or impossible because legislators from state legislative districts included in one or more Congressional Districts would participate in choosing those Districts’ Electors. This Paper will analyze why the Framers allowed state legislatures the latitude to directly choose Presidential Electors, why this approach was ultimately abandoned in favor of popular election of Electors in every state, the potential benefits of returning to direct legislative choice of Electors, and the corresponding effect this method might have on the process of nominating candidates, electing Presidents, and the Presidency itself.

However, the two-day grace for civilians to evacuate became a four-day standstill, momentum lost to concerns in Baghdad and Washington over civilian casualties and other unknown political considerations.

The role of women is often overlooked or only highlighted in reference to reproductive capabilities—after all, women were a sort of male-owned property.27 Exum notes that sexual desire in the Bible, the Song notwithstanding, is depicted as risky, in need of control, under strict codes, and a predominantly male characteristic.28 Walsh explains several standard descriptions of biblical sex that contrast with the Song of Songs, making it an even more extraordinary addition to the Hebrew Scriptures.

  Alien Animals and American Angels: The Commodification and Commercialization of the Progressive-Era White Slave

summary:
  One reporter on the San Francisco Bulletin stated that “the public love of the exaggerated and the sensational and its care-free avoidance of facts and cruel truths…is responsible in part for this slavery,” wisely disconnecting the white slave archetype as portrayed in popular culture from the harsh realities (such as alcoholism, drug addiction, venereal disease, poverty, and physical abuse, just to name a few) experienced by prostitutes in the 1910’s.65 Indeed, in creating the archetype the social purists had done their job too well; one correspondent in the New York World claimed that after his wife attended a lecture on white slavery, “she is… of the opinion that there is an organization as formidable as the Steel Trust working day and night in the interest of vice,” and that it was a formidable task for him to convince her that more than half the male population of the United States was not engaged in the white slave trade.66 The public was disappointed as well; one letter to the editor of the New York Times disappointedly asked, “Are they the only kind of white slaves we have?”67 However, he further notes that “tales of forced sexual exploitation obscured the larger reality of a prostitute’s life,” and cites both personal statements and statistical studies which indicate that most prostitutes entered the profession on their own accord for various reasons, primarily inter- familial conflict or economic concerns.3 The slippery nature of the evidence precludes the claim that there existed no forced prostitution in America throughout the nineteenth century, but it may be safe to state that there was no organized traffic in white, Anglo-Saxon women, either domestically or foreign born, into the United States, as was claimed by Progressive reformers; therefore, it is likely that the production of social purists existed to primarily emphasize the evils of openly tolerated red-light districts and, perhaps, to explain why there seemed to be so many prostitutes when speeches on public morality resonated with a largely female audience.4 There is additional, tertiary evidence indicating that there existed little traffic in white women for the purposes of prostitution in the latter half of the nineteenth century; in her biting indictment of the sex trade industry in 3 Gilfoyle, Timothy J., City of Eros: New York City, Prostitution, and the Commercialization of Sex, 1790- 1920.

  These fundamental tenets of Christian democratic welfare policy were not compromised by cooperation with social democrats and actually helped to restrain welfare policy by coupling the expansion in the generosity of welfare programs with the maintenance of passive systems of delivery via both male breadwinners and societal institutions. This centrist position both derives from and further enables Christian democratic policies of class compromise like social capitalism.

  5 Kenneth H. Tucker, French revolutionary syndicalism and the public sphere (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996), 4. 2 Rebels With a Cause Anarchists were some of the first to see this dichotomy in French history, recognizing that the rhetoric of freedom and equality seldom materialized into concrete economic change for the lower classes. Pelloutier’s description of anarchism as “the art of cultivating oneself and of sufficiently cultivating others so that [people] can govern and enjoy themselves,” is an idea that still resonates.32 For the historian, the flexibility of French revolutionary syndicalism between ideas of the individual and community, the state and anarchy, and morality and efficiency, complicate and enrich our view of the Belle Époque.

At the same time, Duncan’s plea implies that “better outcomes” are not the current “overarching mission” of teacher education programs – that student learning and achievement are not the impetus behind hundreds of schools of education across the country (Duncan).

Jirji’s successes at defending Christianity against the Muslims, and his clever arguments against Islam, seem to have been a very popular read among Coptic Christians, who had six manuscripts of the Disputation dating at least to the seventeenth century.1 The narrative, written as part of a genre of Christian literature dedicated to defending the truth of Christianity, succeeds in bolstering the religion, always an important goal for Christians, but particularly during an era of crusades.

In choosing to interpret Eulalie’s devastating critique of society as a sign of her independence from it, critics have neglected to reflect substantively on aspects of the poem that suggest that Eulalie may not be so self-sufficient after all.

  The thing and the feeling of that thing: The Poetics of William Carlos Williams, Neural Representations of Conceptual Primitives, and Grounded Cognition

summary:
  While most explanations of Williams’ work rely on biographical accounts or philosophical theory, recent developments in cognitive neuroscience, namely Martin’s (2016) grounded representations in action, perception, and emotion systems (GRAPES) model for the cognitive representation of object properties and concepts, lends support for Williams successfully recreating the experiences of things linguistically. Although empirical scientific research is seldom used as a lens for literary criticism, the GRAPES model for neural representations of object properties, proposed by Martin (2016), elucidates and ultimately supports Williams’ success in capturing the experience of an object through verse.

I suggested in the introduction to this essay that Rousseau gives us reason to be suspicious of any diametric between the mind and the body and asserts that the cultivation of body and soul or of body and mind are for one another: they “grow together,” and each is “extended by the other” (118).5 Nonetheless, his insistence on the importance of exercise “in order to make [Emile] wise and reasonable” (118; emphasis mine) implies that the healthy body is a necessary condition for intelligence and virtue, and that one is inaugurated by the other.

  Slaveholders encouraged education and could place slaves in high governmental positions; furthermore, slaves could own property, could participate in religious and cultural traditions like a freeborn, were not prohibited from public assembly, and could anticipate freedom after the age of 30.11 Slaves were not in their own social class, but often reflected that of their masters.12 The prospect of manumission was true and legitimate for most slaves who could survive until such an age, ensuring motivation for hard work and self-discipline. Furthermore, slavery was brutal since “Slaves were estranged from their family and ethnic backgrounds… undergoing a death experience on a social level,” due to the familial nature of ancient culture.15 Further scholars in the tradition of Patterson, including Bradley, assert that slavery was not palatable in any way, but the likely possibility of freedom and familial life ensured its survival.16 Glancy reasons that total subjection to the master included sexual exploitation, thus denying slaves even a modicum of their natural autonomy.17 One redeeming attribute discovered by Brown reminds scholars that, since slavery was an aspect of business, masters had reasons to protect slaves as an investment, just as slaves had reason to promote their master.18 Though the intention behind this reality is less than charitable, the fact remains that slaves were able to benefit from their master’s pragmatic 10 Ibid., 119.

  Throughout much of When I Grow Up, the “you” that Chen addresses is easy to identify and known, to a degree, by the speaker, whether the you is God, as in “Talking to God about Heaven from the Bed of a Heathen” or a significant other, as in “Irreducible Sociality.” Through its reformulation of lyric subjecthood around alternative identities, queer, relational intersubjectivity, and deployment of lyric address, Chen’s When I Grow Up creates a limited yet intersubjective lyric I, moving beyond a universalizing white lyric subject who is “overheard” toward a specific, autobiographical, marginalized lyric subject that expands the poetic space into one that is conversational and collective.

  A firestorm of destruction: A State of the Field on Operation Barbarossa, Hitler’s War on the Eastern Front

summary:
  Further, the struggle over the control of the panzer division between the Oberkommando des Heeres and Hitler needs to be reevaluated in the scholarship, as this event is typically treated as just another part of a failing strategic plan in Operation Barbarossa.50 By readdressing this hole in the historiography, scholars would gain another dimension to the dispute between Hitler and the OKH, while perhaps developing a deeper narrative to the failure of Operation Barbarossa. “A firestorm of destruction:” A State of the Field on Operation Barbarossa, Hitler’s War on the Eastern Front Emily Alesia Poteat History On June 22, 1941 Operation Barbarossa shattered the façade of a German-Russian alliance when a 3.3 million-strong German invasion force flooded across the Soviet Union’s border.1 Immediately, the German Luftwaffe moved on key targets, raining explosives down on border defenses, bridges, command posts, power stations, and the like.2 With immediate successes, Operation Barbarossa appeared to be moving in the right direction for the Third Reich; however, the military operation was fraught with Hitler’s indecisive and erratic military planning.3 Hitler expected Operation Barbarossa to aid in his attempt to establish Germany as a great world power, and this was to be achieved through his policy of Lebensraum (living space).4 What resulted from this policy of “living space” was some of the bloodiest battles of the Second World War, and some of the greatest crimes of the war occurring in Hitler’s forces’ movement across the eastern front.5 Furthermore, Operation Barbarossa decisively assured Hitler and the Third Reich’s defeat early in the summer of 1941, and was a decisive turning point in World War II.

Appropriating the aesthetic privilege of white texts for ethnic texts should not be used to erase the hyper-specific textual signifiers that make the text ethnic.

Revealing the secret, for Caleb, is therefore a way to derive a sense of equality between himself and Falkland, whose superior social status leaves Caleb longing to “intensify” their bond.

  “Song’s for a New World”: The Revision of Gender and Restructuring of Narrative in M. Butterfly (1988, 1993, and 2017)

summary:
  To ignore this correlation is to do a disservice to the text and while I am specifically focusing on the gendered aspects in this essay, I cannot dismiss that M. Butterfly, with its intersections of sexuality and colonialism, and its rewriting of Western mythos about the East perhaps most easily understood through Edward Said’s provocative term Orientalism, has received not only a Tony award, but numerous scholarly studies attempting to situate Asian and Asian American culture and masculinity, to critique the extended misogyny of the play, and to show (in one way or another) not only the play’s brilliant investigation of the slippage of gender identity, but also its potential role as a critique of various cultural forms.v To elaborate on this, I will discuss the adaptation of several scenes at first from the play to the film, then from the 1988 original text to the 2017 revival. What you see onstage is who I really am.xxvii In summation, the revival presents a much more complicated layering of gender identities than the original.

  In presenting a social history, an “excavated” space, history museums can help visitors find not “the truth” but many truths, the multifaceted strands of history that encountered each other in a single place.25 Theresa Singleton points out that focusing on one strand of the history of a site or object does not preclude the development of other narratives about the same site; the various people who lived in the place all made a mark and should be included in interpretation.26 In the last few decades, many American historical sites have begun to tell the stories not just of the “great men,” but also, as best they can considering the extant evidence, the stories of enslaved people who lived in the same spaces.27 These tourist sites are finding new stories and new ways to tell them,28 as a way of rectifying the “symbolic annihilation” of enslaved people’s material culture.29 Despite the “absence of material structures,” museums should, says Jorge L. Giovanetti, “take into account the enslaved…it is a moral imperative to speak out, and represent, the relations of power and socio-racial inequality that ruled in plantation society in order to understand the unequal racial relations in the Americas today. Enslaved people in New York built infrastructure, such as roads; worked on farms; and were bought, sold, and rented as investments.17 In New Jersey, enslaved people worked on farms of various sizes, but also worked as builders, craftsmen, in animal husbandry, and in industry.18 Slavery also thrived in urban areas, as Clifford Ellis and Rebecca Ginsburg write, noting dynamics in mid-Atlantic states such as Virginia.19 Because this more varied engagement with slavery prevents the development of a single narrative, it is difficult to create a single image, such as the south’s iconic (and fictional) Tara.

From the coining of the term “cyberspace,” (Concannon 441) to his contributions to the formation of the “cyberpunk” genre (Adams 164), Gibson’s depiction of cyberspace networks (which appeared in a number of his novels and short stories) have become “So widespread… a topic for movies, books, and games that [his] infamous description of it as a ‘consensual hallucination’ seems to have become reality” (Adams and Warf 141).

summary:
  Just as those before and after them, Eulogius and Paul Alvarus used early Christian martyrs as a backdrop for the Martyrs of Córdoba and are often found drawing lines back to the first, second, and third centuries in their writings. Sahner suggests that it is possible that Isaac had a sense of disgust with the system he had previously worked for, and that there may have been “personal disputes between the martyr and the Umayyad authorities” that existed prior to Perfectus’ execution.29 When Isaac went to the court in June of 851 and told the judge, in Arabic, that “I have found both your prophet and you to be lacking [the zeal of justice],” Isaac was doing so with his own individual motivation and expression of religious identity as a former worker of the Cordovan government and a current monk of Tabanos.30 The largest group of martyrs, with whom I began this paper, and that which Eulogius calls the “six-fold mystery,” was made up of Peter the priest, Walabonsus the deacon, and the four monks Sabinianus, Wistremundus, Habentius, and Hieremia.31 Their martyrdom took place only a few days after the execution of Isaac, and it is likely that the group was motivated by their relations to the monk of Tabanos.

  Microsoft Word - Riekstins ENG.docx The Aesthetics of Phrenology in Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”: Re-Examining the Lost Paragraph Adam Riekstins English When Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” was initially published in 1841, Poe was an avid believer and pseudo-practitioner of phrenology. In 1840, George Combe undertook a two-year tour across the United States, mirroring Spurzheim's impact by delivering widely attended lectures and engaging with influential figures, thus further contributing to the rise of phrenology's popularity.i The first historical evidence of Poe’s interaction with phrenology occurred in 1836 when he reviewed Mrs. L. Miles’ Phrenology and the Moral Influence of Phrenology: Arranged for General Study, and the Purpose of Education, From the First Published Works of Gall and Spurzheim, to the Latest Discoveries of the Present Period in the March edition of Southern Literary Messenger.

Most authors concur that the battles for the party leadership have dragged it further to the right politically and shifted the party’s focus 19 from economic threats to cultural threats in the form of the refugee crisis, upon which the party’s present-day success hinges.

  Microsoft Word - Parker ENG.docx Tom’s European Fantasies: Commodifying Authenticity in The Talented Mr. Ripley Jaxon Parker English In an early scene of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955), the story of murder and stolen identity on the Mediterranean coast of Western Europe, Tom Ripley is given a tour of Dickie Greenleaf’s villa in Mongibello, Italy, which, for Tom, “is a pleasant mixture of Italian antique and American bohemian” (49). As Kelley Wagers observes in “Tom Ripley, Inc.,” Tom’s reverse immigration from New York Harbor to Europe and his desire for a “clean slate” enacts a particularly American fantasy of effacing one’s roots to invent a new future: “Tom founds his American identity not only on a conventionally imagined erasure of his past, but also on the fiction that his is not (yet) an American and must make himself into one” (250).

  The place from which the novel‟s narrator, Offred, speaks is one where her sense of self is defined by her culture as residing solely in her female body and its capacity for reproduction, and where her body is located within a system of technological surveillance. My aim is to enter this dialogue by analyzing how the identities of the handmaids in Atwood‟s novel are constructed by both technological and natural discourses, and also exploring how Offred responds to these discourses, comparing them to her own thoughts, feelings, and memories—that is, how she is “constructed” and how she then creates “reconstructions” of her experiences.

summary:
  The Danaids, portrayed as refugees from Egypt in the original text, inherently challenged the Greek/barbarian binary, a construct that Athenian audiences would have associated with cultural and racial superiority, and justified their exclusion from the Athenian democratic framework.22 Casting women of color reinforces the historical dynamic in the text while confronting contemporary audiences with a legacy of colonialism and racial discrimination. Gender performance in ancient Greek theatre already blurred the lines of gender representation through its practice of male actors portraying female characters.24 In a contemporary production, an emphasis on the original text’s references to gendered violence could have the same effect on contemporary audiences.

  Given that garden cults seemed to be plentiful, perhaps it is a mistake to try to whittle their characterization down to one specific deity; likely, many gods were worshipped in this manner, and it might be impossible to determine the particular from the generic in Isaiah 65:3 and Isaiah 66:17. Blenkinsopp grants that Isaiah 66:17 might be contextually isolated from its surrounding verses, but has enough in common with Isaiah 65:3-7 to admit the same source.7 Of these five verses, Isaiah 65:3-4 are the most important for my study: 3a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens and offering incense on bricks; 4who sit inside tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat swine’s flesh, with broth of abominable things in their vessels… Immediately, we notice the thematic similarities of illicit cultic practices taking place in a garden and of the consumption of proscribed foods.

  “You Can Never Work Facts as You Would Fixed Quantities”: Political Economy’s Failures in Thomas Malthus and Mary Barton

summary:
  Given that her father wrote a series called “The Political Economy” in Blackwood’s magazine and Gaskell herself regularly read periodicals that published articles on political economy, it is reasonable to conclude that Gaskell was at least superficially familiar with contemporary political economy, and more likely than not, with Malthus in particular (Niles). As Ryan Walter, a historian of political economy, points out, “Malthus devoted an entire chapter to the defence of theory in every edition of the Essay except the first … The cumulative message was this: theory was inevitable, but its role was not to usher in a new millennium but to point out the modest prospects for improvement that actually existed” (63).

Although the sample size of spadices that released seeds was low and, statistically, tension does not appear to be a reliable method of measuring the wind speed at which a spadix will begin to release seeds to the wind or the number of seeds that will be released, I was able to classify three differing degrees of spadix readiness to undergo at least partial seed abscission (the color groups in figures 5 and 6 and in table 3) based number of seeds released and seed release threshold wind speeds.
