concept: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called concept.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Women; God; Ibid; State; War; People; World; History; York; Public; Life; Man; Time; Human; Novel; Society; City; Identity; Self; Church; Power; Gender; Students; Language; Poem; Military; Men; Model; Rights; Slavery; John; Play; Children; Class; States; Audience; Concept; School; Performance; Nature; Way; Cold; Theatre; Milton; Text; Work; Reform; Que; Disorder; Violence; Democracy; Male; Narrator; Letter; Act; Change; Peter; Memory; Security; Media; Exchange; Ethics; Food; Woman; Groups; Object; Literature; Employees; Amygdala; Disease; Person; Day; Site; Finian; Chickadee; Attorneys

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Kierkegaard and Feminism: A Paradoxical Friendship* by none (2003) - Updike tells us that for Kierkegaard woman is man’s destruction, which explains Kierkegaard’s breaking of his engagement to Regine: “‘Woman,’ he wrote in 1854, ‘is egoism personified…. By employing some of the essays in Léon and Walsh’s anthology Feminist Interpretations of Søren Kierkegaard, we can gain an idea as to how Kierkegaard has been read by recent feminists in order to see what a feminist employment of Kierkegaard would look like. Keywords: beauvoir; ethics; feminist; god; kierkegaard; man; philosophy; pseudonyms; way; women; works; world
• An Instrument of Gender: Re-evaluating the Role of the Male-Midwife and the Lying-in Chamber in Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century England by none (2017) - 24 Cody, 41. 25 Ibid., 41-42. 26 See Laurinda S. Dixon, Perilous Chastity: Women and Illness in Pre-Enlightenment Art and Medicine (Ithaca, New York 1995) for more information on physicians who engaged with women during illness. In 1673, just two years after the printing of Sharp’s The Midwives Book, Hugh I (1620-1720), the son of Dr. Peter Chamberlens (1601-1683), had re-petitioned the Crown of England, as previous generations of his family had done, to patent an instrument by which his family had gained much notoriety for as practicing male midwives. Keywords: academy; chamber; england; forceps; male; midwife; midwives; science; space; women
• “Marriage is the tomb of trust and love”: Marriage and Divorce in Olympe de Gouges’ Plays by none (2018) - It is not surprising De Gouges was a strong advocate for the right to divorce. In Le Mariage de Chérubin, De Gouges voices her opinion about forced marriage through the character Figaro, who compares it to religious vows: “the intended will say Yes, as if she were saying her vows. Keywords: de gouges; divorce; gouges; marriage; ninon; olympe; revolution; wife; women
• Resistance to Reconstruction: Virginia Women’s Resentment in 1862-1870 by none (2019) - Thus Elizabeth encapsulated the resentment many elite, white southern women in Virginia felt when faced with emancipation. She evaluates the role of ladies memorial associations in communicating Lost Cause narratives as well as helping rehabilitate the honor of white southern men who supported the Confederacy.25 Faust’s work serves as part of the foundation for research on elite, white southern women. Keywords: alsop wynne; civil; elizabeth; elizabeth maxwell; family; maxwell; maxwell alsop; reconstruction; southern; virginia; war; white; women; wynne
• Same Old Penelope: Feminist Analysis of Molly's Soliloquy in Ulysses by none (2004) - Patriarchy defines femininity by the ability to titillate, to evoke desire, and Molly subscribes to this definition. Lois Tyson in Critical Theory Today writes that feminist criticism generally examines texts to determine how they “reinforce or undermine the economic, political, social, and psychological oppression of women” (81).1 Despite her importance to Ulysses, particularly in the final episode, much of what Joyce reveals about Molly through her thoughts evidence her integration into the same egocentric culture central to The Odyssey. Keywords: feminist; joyce; male; molly; society; stephen; thoughts; ulysses; women
• Mothers, Children, and Servants: Gender, Social Power, and Domestic Service in Trecento and Quattrocento Tuscany by none (2020) - Wealthy mothers were 2 able to give their children comfortable lives through their domestic servants, while denying servant women the same proximity to their children. Beyond the guardadonna, who was a paid specialist, Renaissance depictions of birth scenes in art illustrate the presence of servant women in the birthing chamber. Keywords: birth; children; corsini; datini; elite; family; florence; florentine; francesco; giovanni; margherita; nurse; press; renaissance; servants; slave; wet; women
• Female Freedom Fighters by none (2004) - Emerson viewed many abolitionists in the same way, claiming that they were so consumed with changing society they failed to see the need to change their own hearts and minds first. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s involvement in the abolitionist movement has repeatedly been seen as an enigmatic component of the transcendentalist’s life. Keywords: abolitionist; antislavery; concord; emerson; hawthorne; mary; movement; nathaniel; ralph; slavery; thoreau; waldo; women
• Alien Animals and American Angels: The Commodification and Commercialization of the Progressive-Era White Slave by none (2004) - 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. Keywords: american; archetype; century; evidence; girls; ibid; nature; new; new york; press; prostitution; public; purity; reformers; slave archetype; slave trade; slave traffic; slavery; states; times; trade; united; white slave; women
• Classifications and Descriptions of Parents who Commit Filicide by none (2004) - Child murder is not necessarily common, but it is a leading cause of child death in developed countries, and when child murder occurs, the perpetrators are most likely the children’s parents (Marleau, Poulin, Webanck, Roy, & Laporte, 1999; Stanton & Simpson, 2002). 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. Keywords: children; filicide; mothers; simpson; stanton; women; wouldes
• Struggling with Flesh: Soul/Body Dualism in Porphyry and Augustine* by none (2005) - As John O’Meara explains in Porphyry’s Philosophy from Oracles in Augustine, Porphyry disagreed with both Plato and Plotinus that souls that had been joined to human bodies should return subsequently to join a bestial body, and he furthermore contended that perfectly purified souls never returned to body, human or Dera Sipe 8 bestial, at all. “But the other nature, which has being of itself, is all that really exists, which does not come into being or perish: or everything else will pass away, and could not come into being afterwards if this real existence had perished which preserves all other things and especially this All, which is preserved and given its universal order and beauty by soul” (Plotinus IV.7.9.1-5). 17 For Plotinus, “Soul, as the source of life in bodies, is not a body and does not depend on body for its existence. Keywords: augustine; body; dualism; flesh; god; life; marcella; mind; nature; philosophy; plato; plotinus; porphyry; press; soul; women; world
• “Women Don’t Buy Suitcases”: Unpacking Liminality and Gender in Mad Men by Derr, Jess (2022) - Because Mad Men recognizes the woman’s bathroom as a space for self-fashioning, the show uses the setting for two vital interactions Peggy experiences. This considered then, both Megan and Trudy can be read as conscious of an external world where they will be scrutinized and saddled with responsibilities whereas gloveless Peggy chooses to forgo such considerations. Keywords: don; episode; identity; men; office; peggy; place; roles; space; state; suitcase; turner; women
• More nearly right: Allowing Ambiguity of Female Solidarity in Elizabeth G. Jordan's Tales of the City Room by none (2006) - Editors therefore primarily hired women as ‘women journalists’ in order to attract female audiences; they assigned them topics outside of ‘serious’ reportage, such as society news. Beginning in the 1880s, women journalists began forming press clubs and associations parallel to male-only organizations in order to promote professional prestige and provide camaraderie.13 In 1885, women from around the country formed the National Woman’s Press Association, soon renamed the International Woman’s Press Association. Keywords: dyke; female; herrick; jordan; journalists; miss; mrs; story; van; women
• Salvation in a False Direction: How Domestic Materiality in two Literary Case Studies Reconfigures the Victorian Family by none (2007) - 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). Keywords: dickens; engels; exchange; family; man; margaret; market; marx; materiality; nancy; sikes; women
• Beyond Entertainment: Exploring the Intricacies of True Crime Fascination by Tompkins, Anastasiia (2024) - Another bias possibly affecting people’s obsession with true crime is presentation of stories as real-life events. However, this is not universally true; gender differences show that women prefer non-fiction morbid stories, while men prefer fictional, which can potentially explain why women are more drawn to true crime (Harrison & Frederick, 2022). Keywords: community; crime; fear; individuals; media; podcast; stories; women
• Mary Magdalene: Sexism and Feminism in Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ" by Lopez-Egea I Vives, Angela (2024) - However, the feminist elements Scorsese and Hershey incorporate in the movie present an unconventional Mary Magdalene that also follows the post-Vatican II tradition, which restores her image found in the Gospels as the “apostle of the Apostles.” 17 1 Pamela Thimmes, “Memory and Re-Vision: Mary Magdalene Research since 1975,” Currents in Research 5 (1998): 196–97. This temptation was not a sexual temptation; instead, it was a temptation to embrace ordinariness and the invitation to live a domestic life.29 It is a temptation to become human.30 Mary Magdalene is a crucial character in the whole movie and becomes even more central in the last temptation scene. Keywords: christ; film; jesus; magdalene; mary; mary magdalene; movie; rindge; scorsese; sexuality; temptation; women
• Individual Success is Not Liberation: A Critique of #GIRLBOSS and Neoliberal Feminisms by Wynn, Eva (2024) - The main difference between the two ideologies is that while #GIRLBOSS feminism ignores the reproductive and domestic sphere, neoliberal feminism treats reproduction, child rearing, and housekeeping as work a woman can do to appreciate her individual value and achieve success. Like #GIRLBOSS feminism, neoliberal feminism, according to Catherine Rottenberg, “encourages women to labour ceaselessly on themselves in order to produce, maintain and appreciate themselves as human capital” (1079). Keywords: amoruso; feminism; girlboss; individual; success; women; work
• Unveiling Patriarchy: Brazilian Gender Dynamics Through the Lens of the Bolsonaro-Maria do Rosario Incident by Macedo Piovezan, Iuri (2025) - In 2003, Liana Friedenbach and Felipe Caffee, both teenagers, were murdered by an underaged person.29 In Brazil, one cannot be tried as an adult if one is below the age of eighteen, and the debate surrounding Jair Bolsonaro and Maria do Rosario was whether this should change to sixteen.30 Bolsonaro believed that it should, and 40 Guilherme Mazui, and Paloma Rodrigues, “Em discurso, Bolsonaro defende ditadores militares e deputados dos atos antidemocraticos,” G1, March 31, 2022, https://g1.globo.com/politica/noticia/2022/03/31/em-discurso-no- planalto-bolsonaro-defende-ditadores-militares-e-deputado-reu-por-atos-antidemocraticos.ghtml. Keywords: bolsonaro; brazil; gender; ibid; machismo; march; maria; patriarchy; que; rosario; women
• Leading Against the Odds: Women’s Leadership Challenges and Strategies in the Nonprofit Sector by Kirillova, Nika (2025) - Strategies to Overcome Leadership Barriers Women in nonprofit leadership roles employ a range of strategies to navigate the systemic and organizational challenges they face. This gap underscores the need for empirical research that captures the personal and professional realities faced by women in nonprofit leadership roles. Keywords: barriers; challenges; gender; leadership; nonprofits; participants; professional; roles; strategies; women
• “Undone With Terror”: Aeschylus’ Suppliants as Agents of Binary Terror by Hughes, Sydney (2025) - 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. Keywords: aeschylus; audience; binary; danaids; greek; play; production; suppliants; women
• Philosophical Dimensions of Feminist Social Change by none (2002) - Concerning sexual difference, Beauvoir explicitly acknowledges the difference between women and men in both reproduction and sexuality: There will always be certain differences between man and woman; her eroticism, and therefore her sexual world, have a special form of their own and therefore cannot fail to engender a sensuality, a sensitivity, of a special nature.[16]     In contrast to Beauvoir’s understanding of a hierarchically defined dualism between woman and man, Irigaray maintains that women and men are both represented by only one sex: the male.  Keywords: beauvoir; change; difference; feminist; ibid; irigaray; language; liberation; masculine; new; oppression; philosophy; sex; women; york
• Controlling Images of African women: The Hottentot Venus, Alek Wek & the Thought of Stuart Hall by none (2009) - Introduction: The Emergence of Controlling Images Controlling Images of African women: The Hottentot Venus, Alek Wek & the Thought of Stuart Hall Elisa Foster Communication The Emergence of Controlling Images In her essay, “Mammies, Matriarchs, and Other Controlling Images,” Patricia Hill Collins (1999) presents several stereotypical personas of the African American woman. I intend to expand Collins’ idea of controlling images to include African women. Keywords: african; hall; hottentot; images; venus; wek; women
• Gender...Gone Wild: The Sexual Economy of Reality Exploitation by none (2009) - 18 While manifestations of a collective consciousness are essential to deconstructing the motives for women simultaneously hiking their tops in Girls Gone Wild or a group of men ―mooning‖ the camera in Guys Gone Wild, Pitcher‘s analysis fails to recognize a further consequence of their exploitative dialectic. Girls Gone Wild and its male equivalent are, of course, the products of previously established public discourses pivoting on public sexual performance and heteronormative gender expectations. Keywords: break; camera; culture; exploitation; female; gender; girls; guys; ibid; male; new; press; spring; women; york
• Women in Nazi Germany: Victims, Perpetrators, and the Abandonment of a Paradigm* by none (2009) - 29 For Koonz, Nazi women were not passive victims or ―small cogs in the majestic wheel‖ of Nazi totalitarianism; 30 they were motherly accomplices who retreated into their spheres of domesticity while knowing full well the implications of their silence for those deemed ―unfit to live‖ by the male Nazi authorities. 34 Despite these strong and important chapters on female resistance, however, Koonz‘s work in Mothers in the Fatherland was (and to a great extent still is) perceived by scholars as the counterpoint to Bock‘s thesis and a staunch condemnation of Nazi women and especially mothers who helped maintain the semblance of familial normality in the midst of war and genocide. Keywords: bock; experiences; germany; historians; history; ibid; koonz; nazi; nazi germany; new; press; reich; society; victims; war; women
• Turning a Curse into a Blessing: Propaganda and the Emigration of British Single Women by none (2009) - Many organizations used this rhetoric to encourage British women to seek opportunity in the colonies. Society scrambled to fix the growing number of single women. Keywords: british; class; colonies; emigration; empire; female; fmces; gender; history; journal; rye; society; women; women‘s
• Stakhanovites: Examining History through Gender and Propaganda* by none (2009) - What impact did this government-sanctioned opportunity to enter the economy have on the lives of Soviet women? Soviet women found themselves at a difficult crossroads in the 1930s. Keywords: dusya; gender; new; new york; pasha; press; soviet; stakhanovism; stakhanovites; stalin; university; women; workers; york
• The Ritual Sacrifice of Women: Misogyny and Art in Fin-de-Siècle Vienna* by none (2010) - Some artists were the worst offenders against women. Misogyny and the anti-feminine, both “hot topics” in the politics of the period, resulted in women being used as sacrificial victims in artistic works for the stage as well as in visual art. Keywords: century; fin; misogyny; opera; siècle; siècle vienna; time; vienna; women
• The Reconstitution of Sisterhood in Augusta Webster's "A Castaway" by none (2012) - [CONCEPT, Vol. XXXV (2012)] The Reconstitution of Sisterhood in Augusta Webster’s “A Castaway” Grace Oh English In contrast to so many of the prostitutes that emerge in Victorian literature, Eulalie, the “fallen woman” at the center of Augusta Webster’s 1870 poem “A Castaway,” has been hailed as a woman of remarkable “self-sufficiency” (Mermin 80) who defiantly “claims her right to self- assessment and self-representation” (Brown 92). 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. Keywords: brother; eulalie; fallen; family; identity; life; poem; self; sisterhood; victorian; women
• Proper for a lady's brush: The Visual Arts in the Work of Louisa May Alcott* by none (2012) - Even the “Art (Theme)” entry in The Louisa May Alcott Encyclopedia deals primarily with the creators of said art, and barely touches upon the individual objects themselves (Eiselein and Phillips 23-24). Spanning both her novels and short stories, her domestic fiction and her lesser known gothic and feminist fictions, art serves as a frequently-recurring motif that allows Alcott to explore ideas about femininity, domesticity, self-sacrifice, mortality, independence, and morality. Keywords: alcott; amy; art; artists; becky; diana; percy; polly; psyche; turner; women; work
• English Aristocratic Women's Take on Health: 1450-1630 by none (2012) - 1 In the years shortly before, during and after the reign of Henry VIII, aristocratic women in England were actively involved in the health of their families, friends, and communities. By looking at surviving letters and other documents written by aristocratic women who lived from the mid-1400s to the mid-1600s, one can examine their medical activities and the extent to which they cared for their families, friends, and communities. Keywords: care; english; health; hoby; lady; letters; lisle; margaret; medicine; mildmay; press; stonor; women

• Theodicy and the Nature of God in Nahum and Jonah by none (2003) - Thus the sacrifice in the end is a narrative trick, since God prevents the sacrifice (in the fullest sense of the word) from occurring.92 Jonah does not die: he enters into the belly of a fish. Theodicy and the Nature of God in Nahum and Jonah.doc 1 Theodicy and the Nature of God in Nahum and Jonah Sandy Haney Department of Theology and Religious Studies Villanova University Edited by Edward Pettit Within the twelve minor prophets of the Hebrew Bible are the books of Nahum and Jonah. Keywords: audience; biblical; book; city; fall; god; john; jonah; justice; nahum; nature; nineveh; people; press; prophet
• “In His Light See Light”: The Influence of Augustine on Ratzinger’s Perspective on Creation* by none (2013) - As a doctoral student at the University of Munich, Ratzinger focused his dissertation on Volk und haus Gottes in Augustins lehre von der kirche (The People and the House of God in Augustine’s Doctrine of the Church).4 For example, in dismissing any concept of God as artisan, Ratzinger echoes Augustine’s aversion to this simile. Keywords: augustine; beings; creation; faith; god; ratzinger; spirit; spiritual; time; world
• I Trust the Gospel and All Its Contents: The Disputation of Jirji the Monk and Medieval Islamic Knowledge of the Bible by none (2014) - The Monk explains that, in all that time, and with the incredible extent of Christianity—which the Moslem does not dispute, but in fact says that there were more Christians then “than there are now”—there would have been no way 49 Ibid. 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. Keywords: arabic; bible; christianity; christians; god; ibid; islam; islamic; jews; mohammad; qur’an
• Letting the Finite Vanish: Hegel, Tillich, and Caputo on the Ontological Philosophy of Religion* by none (2015) - The Two Types of Philosophy of Religion In “The Two Types of Philosophy of Religion,” Tillich lays out two modes of approaching God: (1) ontological philosophy of religion and (2) cosmological philosophy of religion. Reframing the Problem: Post-Kantian and Post-Hegelian Philosophy of Religion The distinctions discussed above are valuable in sorting out the contemporary debates in continental philosophy of religion. Keywords: god; hegel; philosophy; religion; tillich
• The δοῦλος of Pauline Literature: Slavery and Freedom in the New Testament Epistles* by none (2016) - 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. Keywords: god; group; human; jesus; members; paul; pauline; slavery; slaves; understanding
• In Her Shape How Lovely: The Habit of Virtue in Paradise Lost* by none (2017) - If virtue and the search for truth are connected, true virtue cannot be fully attained in this life. Souls that would possess true virtue must be united to “the heavenly grace of faith.” Keywords: adam; book; eve; god; milton; paradise; satan; virtue
• Imago Torem: Creation Theory and Ethics in Paradise Lost and Frankenstein by none (2019) - After creating Earth and all its natural glory, God still felt that something was missing, that none of the things he created for this world satisfied his vision: There wanted yet the Master Work, the end Of all yet don; a Creature who not prone And Brute as other Creatures, but endu’d With sanctitie of Reason, might erect His Stature, and upright with Front serene Govern the rest, self-knowing, and from thence Magnanimous to correspond with Heav’n, But grateful to acknowledge whence his good Descends, thither with hear and voice and eyes 15 Directed in Devocion, to adore And worship God Supream, who made him chief Of all his works . . . If we attempt to understand creation from a biblical approach, we must attempt to understand God. Keywords: adam; body; creation; creature; god; milton; paradise; shelley; soul; victor
• Patterns in the Framing: Patience and The Hours of Catherine of Cleves by none (2004) - “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” (Bible 872). No. 64, Apostles and Prophets Adoring God the Father, is similar to No. 61, except that the arc of heaven frame encompasses the head of a floating God and his banderole, containing the message “’I am alpha and omega, God and man’” (Plummer). Keywords: book; catherine; christ; figure; frame; framing; god; heaven; hours; illuminations; jonah; man; pearl; plummer; prayer; time
• Peel off the Napkin/O my Enemy?Do I Terrify? Sylvia Plath's Investigation of the Consequences of Objectification in Lady Lazarus by none (2004) - “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” (Bible 872). No. 64, Apostles and Prophets Adoring God the Father, is similar to No. 61, except that the arc of heaven frame encompasses the head of a floating God and his banderole, containing the message “’I am alpha and omega, God and man’” (Plummer). Keywords: book; catherine; christ; figure; frame; framing; god; heaven; hours; illuminations; jonah; man; pearl; plummer; prayer; time
• Hope of the Kingdom and Hope of the Resurrection: Hope for Whom? Broadening a Liberationist Prespective* by none (2004) - Edward Schillebeeckx interprets the relationship between Jesus and the Father on the cross differently than Moltmann, which leads him to a slightly different understanding of kingdom and resurrection hope. 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. Keywords: god; hope; ibid; jesus; kingdom; resurrection; sobrino
• Nestorius and Cyril: 5th Century Christological Division and Recent Progress in Reconciliation by none (2004) - Pope John Paul II and Catholicos-Patriarch Mar Dinkha IV, “Common Christological Declaration Between the Catholic Church and the Assyrian Church of the East,” November 11, 1994.

• Ecological Conversion as Stigmata of the Heart by none (2021) - St. Francis echoes the Old and New Testaments, particularly the Psalms and the Gospels, in his references to the power and beauty of light and fire.37 St. Francis wrote the Canticle aware of Christ as part of creation and with the Trinity as “Most High.”38 In Laudato Si, Pope Francis admirably uses the Canticle as a motivating stepping stone for the ecological cause, but he never explicitly mentions the stigmata of St. Francis. Keywords: christ; conversion; creation; francis; god; humans; love; pope; stigmata
• Another Skie: Eve's Eden and Feminine Cosmologies by none (2021) - In “Serpentine Eve,” Miller shows how Milton dramatized the querelles des femmes pro- and anti- “feminist” pamphlet debates by “embed[ding]” pro- and anti-woman arguments in Eve and Adam’s speeches throughout Paradise Lost; this includes reproducing phrases, terms and concepts verbatim as they were playing out in these pamphlets during seventeenth century England. Hayward, More Lessons from a Starfish: Prefixial Flesh and Transspeciated Selves In book 4 of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, Eve recounts her first moments of waking.1 Keywords: adam; cavendish; difference; eden; empress; eve; feminine; gender; god; ibid; milton; paradise; way; woman; world
• “God’s Own Image Bought and Sold!”: Analyzing the Intersection of Christianity and Slavery in Brown’s Clotel by Covais, Samantha (2022) - What ensues after Snyder finishes his lecture is another performance of Christianity, this time manifesting in a call and response similar to Black spirituals that forces the slaves to recite answers to questions avowing that God intended for Blacks to exist as slaves. Some interpretations, such as those of the Ephesians passage, even go as far as to equate slave owners with God himself, a narcissistic take on the tenets of Christianity of an immense magnitude that crosses the border into heresy. Keywords: bible; brown; christianity; clotel; god; novel; peck; slavery; slaves

• Sometimes the Center is the Wrong Place to Be: An Examination of Isaiah 66:17* by none (2006) - 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.

• Nobler Before God: Virginity and the Pelagian Controversy by none (2008) - Characterization of the Virgin Demetrias by Augustine and Pelagius: Nobler Before God: Virginity and the Pelagian Controversy Daniel J. Minch, Jr. Theology The consecration of Demetrias as a virgin in 413 CE stands out as a minor yet wholly significant skirmish in the Pelagian controversy. While Jerome and Pelagius offer letters of instruction in the interest of preserving her virginity and virtue, Augustine addresses his letter to Juliana and Proba rather than to Demetrias herself.

• Warrior, Hero, Mentor: The Influence of Prince Peter Bagration on the Fictional Protagonists of War and Peace* by none (2013) - The role of General Prince Peter Bagration as a literary character is less apparent. Similarly Leo Tolstoy in his epic, War and Peace, calls Prince Bagration “the hero of heroes,”2 while spending little time developing his character, especially when compared to other significant historical figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Prince General Mikhail Kutuzov.

• A Good Beyond Sanity: Immanuel Kant and Ivan Karamazov on the Justifiability of Human Suffering by none (2013) - It requires that human beings form an agreement with each other, a law or a constitution, that protects both the rule of society and the freedom of the individual.33 Social antagonism inspires the creation of “a perfectly just civic constitution,” or of the commonwealth. One of the difficulties with social antagonism is that it can lead to the domination of one particular human being, or group of human beings, and the repression of all other human beings. Keywords: antagonism; capacities; dostoevsky; human; ibid; kant; karamazov
• Wise Sex: Affirmation of Human Sexuality and Female Desire in the Song of Songs by none (2014) - Whereas this paper argues that the Song’s wisdom lies in its call for mutuality in relationships and affirmation of human sexuality, Sparks argues that the Song was meant for a rather limited audience—adolescent Jewish women— and that it focuses on “how young women can avoid being hurt and disappointed in the world of young love. 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.

• Inequality in the Caribbean: A Case Study of Hispaniola by none (2015) - In “What Makes Countries Rich or Poor?” Diamond critiques the work of Acemoglu et al. and argues that alongside institution building, the geography of a state should be considered as a factor impacting power, prosperity, and poverty in a country.28 Diamond suggests that Rodrik et al. make a valid argument that politics and political institutions determine what economic institution the country will have, but also notes that the challenges geography poses complicates this process. Additionally, I argue that the Dominican Republic’s willingness to adopt democratic values is key to why the eastern-most part of Hispaniola experiences stronger political institutions, better economic growth, and less overall political and economic inequality.

• Reimagining the American Revolution: Jonathan Boucher’s Loyalist Perspective by none (2018) - In 1738, Jonathan Boucher was born in Cumberland County, England, to parents of great talents, but meager resources.8 Although Boucher’s father received an ample inheritance, he constantly drew on it as he struggled to find success in the business world. Although Boucher often spoke about the importance of reason and rationality, his experience illustrates how central his relationships and emotions were to navigating and interpreting the budding American Revolution.

• “Burning with the Fire of Martyrdom”: Christian Identity and the Martyrs of Córdoba by none (2020) - 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.

• We Are Not Content: Enviornmental Exploitation against Taiwan's Minority Populations by none (2021) - 1 “We Are Not Content”: Environmental Exploitation against Taiwan’s Minority Populations James Alfano History On a stifling August morning outside Taipei’s Presidential Office Building, newly elected President Tsai ing-wen (蔡英文) stood before a group of representatives from each of Taiwan’s 18 recognized indigenous tribes. With just over 500,000 (2%) of Taiwan’s population identifying as a member of a government recognized indigenous tribe (excluding the Hakka minority subgroup4), the need for further examination of past transgressions is critical to understanding the obstacles Taiwanese minority populations face and how progressive environmental movements are tied to indigenous rights and government accountability for past injustices.

• The Primary Dynamics Governing the Rise and Maintenance of Authoritarian Regimes by none (2019) - Although Kuttner warns that only Democracy can serve as a bulwark against the rise of authoritarian regimes, in several cases it has failed to do so, but the deeper nature of these cases, like that of the Weimar Republic are generally overlooked as relates to the rise of authoritarian states. – Eric Hoffer, The True Believer The purpose of this paper is to outline and explore the primary dynamics, which have allowed for and still do allow for the rise of authoritarian regimes.

This essay will attempt to show the various ways in which the Child as articulated by Edelman in No Future and the Child of Color— an alternate figure specifically representing children of color imagined in response to Edelman’s Child— function differently in politics.

Humphrey Bowman, the director of education in Mandate Palestine, promoted this type of education for peasants and encouraged Palestinian peasants to stay on the land instead of moving to cities.54 Khalil Tota, the Palestinian director of the Arab College, concurred and explained how rural education should be agrarian based while education in the towns should be vocational rather than academic.55 Many in the professional class of Palestinian Arabs may have had misgivings about the overall project of the Mandate, but because education was viewed as a liberating process, it was 14 often accessed and controlled by Palestinian Arabs who worked in conjunction with the British to establish a standardized education system.

Kurdish tribal leaders took advantage of this by increasing their own power through confederations between tribes and raiding rivals and non-ethnic Kurds.31 We also see, because of a weak central government, that the shah was only able to maintain control in the cities, but not in the countryside where rebellions tend to start.

• New Views of the Election of the President: How Direct Choice of Electors by State Legislators Could Affect Presidential Elections and the Presidency by none (2006) - 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.

• The Unique Influence of Christian Democracy on Welfare Policy* by none (2009) - 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.

• Seeking a Hoosier Home: Black Migration to Indiana and the Politics of Belonging by none (2010) - Yet, in coming to Indiana, North Carolina blacks demonstrated an independence and agency that the pigeon holes of white Southerners or Hoosiers had attempted to deny them. The overall tone of both Perry and the Reverend‟s publicity offered blacks liberation and salvation in the Hoosier state and told black North Carolinians to “come overland to Indiana, like the children of Israel marched out of Egypt.” 35 Residence in Indiana was promoted as an opportunity to take the advantages of citizenship which were denied in North Carolina.

• The Economics of Peace: World War I and Scott Nearing's Radical American* by none (2003) - Just as the American declaration of war fragmented pacifists in 1917, the “Red Scare” threatened to crush radical sentiment in 1919, and with the conclusion of the war in November, radicals focused all of their energies on fighting persecution. His trenchant views on capitalism and war propelled him to the forefront of the peace movement and the Socialist Party, while simultaneously earning him the scorn of liberal elites.

• “The Shadow in the Windowpane”: Containment, Privacy, and Censorship in Pale Fire by none (2016) - This narrative, which I refer to as the Zemblan narrative, reveals that Charles Kinbote is really Charles Xavier, the exiled king of a northern European country named Zembla; Xavier was overthrown by a populist plot and had to flee to a remote college town in America, where he lives disguised as Kinbote a professor of literature. Accordingly, he functions as Shade’s diametrical opposite and as such is fully accessible to Kinbote: his actions are fully legible and he is completely knowable (even if, as Kinbote claims, there is not much to know).

• Boys Will Be Boys: Constructions of Toxic Masculinity in Dramatic, Metaphorized, and Real-Life War Spaces by none (2020) - Coriolanus’ and Hotspur’s experiences parallel those of real-life military soldiers, too, who are trained to kill, as well as, to a lesser extent, that of NFL players, who are tasked with physically and emotionally assaulting the opponent. In his history dramas Coriolanus and 1 Henry IV, Shakespeare explores the connections between martial prowess and the construction of masculinity.

• We don't do Body Counts: A study of the Pentagon and the Controversy of Civilian Casualties in Modern Warfare* by none (2005) - Margot Norris’ research on censorship in the Persian Gulf War argues: The double defeat in Vietnam, military and moral, prompted the new body count practice…Shedding the Vietnam syndrome has always meant achieving a double power: the ability to win an absolute and ‘clean’ military victory by full use of American technological superiority, and the ability to win an absolute and ‘clean’ moral victory by full use of the Pentagon’s virtually absolute control over martial necrology.17 One tension that developed within the Pentagon as a result of silence on civilian casualty figures was the conflict between proclamations of hi- tech proficiency against surfacing reports of rising civilian casualties. 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.

• A firestorm of destruction: A State of the Field on Operation Barbarossa, Hitler’s War on the Eastern Front by Poteat, Emily (2022) - 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.

• The Paxton Boys and the Pamphlet Frenzy: Politics, Religion, and Social Structure in Eighteenth-Century Pennsylvania* by none (2006) - Like the backcountry inhabitants of other colonial regions, Pennsylvania backcountry settlers felt neglected and alienated; they distrusted the motives of the urban elite; and felt powerless to improve their situation because they were unequally represented. Historically, the Pennsylvania Assembly and the Quaker “party” had squabbled perennially with the Proprietor over the administration of the colony.

• Jimmy Carter's Human Rights Policy and Iran: a Re-Examination, 1976-79 by none (2007) - Because Carter appeared to defer to the foreign policies of previous Cold War presidents, the issues of human rights and an American foreign policy infused with morals appeared to be little more than shrewd political rhetoric. Consequently, the issue of human rights would become the wildcard of Carter’s term in office.

• An Inappropriate Football “Formation”: Beyoncé’s 2016 Super Bowl Performance, Mystery, and the Narratives of Football and Race in America by none (2018) - This dedication to a story is what Pearce (1989) calls “enmeshment,” and it can have serious implications for social meaning creation. The constructionist perspective puts the power of meaning creation and construction into the hands of collective communication, and thus the entirety of human life is made up of constructed meanings.

• Embodying Space: Performance, Tourism and Difficult History by none (2020) - 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.

• Love, Memory, and Resistance: The Respectability Politics of the AIDS Memorial Quilt and the AIDS Social Movement by Jaramillo, Ceydy (2023) - Existing literature on the AIDS Memorial Quilt has yet to fully explore this aspect of the Quilt’s approaches and the impact it had on communities that were being disproportionally affected by AIDS, the larger mainstream society, and other gay rights activists and AIDS organizations who were also tackling similar goals. The framing of these organizations of AIDS victims leads mainstream society to further associate AIDS with white gay men, which could be viewed as harmful for the gay community but also as the most effective way to appeal to middle America.

• Too inhuman: The Destabilization of Empire in Woolf's The Voyage Out* by none (2014) - “Humans beings,” so often the subject of Rachel’s gaze (135) and thoughts are revealed to be controlled by non-human mediators, a revelation that upsets anthropocentric imperatives in the novel. His project seeks to read Woolf’s writings in light of a post-humanist conception of the world, which “accounts for the material entanglements of humans with non-human objects, animals, and environments” (12), a theory informed by Gilles Deleuze.

The light must be one of a metaphorical sense, since “the sun is the light of the world perceived by the senses” (αἰσθητὸς κόσµος).21 Origen thus supposes that “the Savior is the light of the spiritual world (νοητὸς κόσµος) because he shines on those who are rational and intellectual, that their mind may see its proper visions.”22 Keywords: kosmos; marcus; order; origen; sense; wisdom; world; κόσµος

Today, in the era of virtual reality and video games, users are accustomed to algorithmically-assisted immersion in fictional worlds: the pixelated barkeep in a video game is not actually serving customers when the player leaves the inn, but the immersed player will pretend he did when the coding spawns empty ale steins on the player’s next visit.

Eighteenth-century botanists frequently assumed that every plant could be mass cultivated under the right conditions, and ginseng was no exception.53 Gathering had already been fueling significant export of American ginseng to China, but beginning in the 1740s, the botanists of the Royal Society began to shift their attention towards attempts to cultivate ginseng in their English gardens.

• Aesthetics as State Security: International Law, Art Repatriation, and Ontological Security by Noland, Andrew (2023) - Brown (2021) posits that the development of international cultural property law is maintained by a “self-serving legal system” whose role is to protect the holders of plundered art rather than provide a vehicle for wronged parties to seek restitution.xxv Because international law requires state compliance in both enforcement and passage of legislation, there are substantial domestic interests which might prevent the return of cultural property to their homelands. Because the necessary requirement for participating in international law was possessing state power, positivists actively excluded and subordinated indigenous colonized peoples.

• Tom’s European Fantasies: Commodifying Authenticity in The Talented Mr. Ripley by Parker, Jaxon (2024) - 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 Truth Lies': The Affordances of Secrets in Caleb Williams by none (2019) - While critics Gary Handwerk and Evan Radcliffe have already demonstrated the ways Godwin’s political system is corrupted through narrative when he sets out to write the novel Caleb Williams a year later, and Ewha Chung has demonstrated truth’s centrality to the novel’s conception of virtue, this essay will shift focus onto the ways that the prejudice of public opinion that attaches to Caleb’s name after he flees Mr. Falkland’s estate complicates the absolute injunction against concealment in the 1793 edition of Political Justice. 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.

• So, I Declare It!: Pelican Island, Theodore Roosevelt, and Executive Decision Theory by Portas, Andrew (2024) - The latter belonged to an elite echelon of naturalists retained and relied upon by President Roosevelt. Around 1903, President Roosevelt was particularly inspired by Chapman’s accounts of Pelican Island detailing that “during no hour of the twenty-four did silence reign,” and that we ought “perhaps take some steps to defend [the bird’s] rights […] by passing and enforcing proper laws […]” (Chapman 1901).

• The Market Place of The Scarlet Letter: Hawthorne and Hester as Artist Objects by none (2008) - Less blatantly but just as tellingly as the literal trade of his name, Hawthorne recognizes his status as artist object in his self introduction within ―The Custom House.‖ He chooses with this introduction to insert himself into the text as a version of his true self affected by fiction. In ―The Custom House,‖ Hawthorne laments his precarious quandary as an American artist who is caught between public expectations for the concrete merchandise of his art and private beliefs for the meaning and aesthetics of his art.

• Diagnosis of Late-Life Depression: A Critical Review by none (2013) - The discovery that major depression and minor depression have different etiologies highlights the importance of differential diagnosis. Minor depression is also associated with deteriorating physical health, in contrast with major depression, which seems to be independent of physical health (Beekman et al., 1997). Keywords: adults; age; depression; life; research; symptoms
• Symphony or Cacophony: How Creation Hears Itself in James Joyce's Ulysses by none (2004) - Ulysses is June 16, 1904 come alive on the page, engaging the senses of sound and sight, piquing the reader’s own senses of taste and touch and smell through the varied voices of the novel’s narration.

• A Dancer's Virtue: Human Life in Light of Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence* by none (2004) - With all the references to dance in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, it should come as little surprise that at times Nietzsche presents Zarathustra himself as a dancer— perhaps most significantly in Part 3’s “The Other Dancing Song.” \\artscistore.vuad.villanova.edu\kvolpert\CONCEPT\CONCEPT2005\Papers_online\Dancer's Virtue.prn.pdf 1 A Dancer’s Virtue: Human Life in Light of Nietzsche’s Eternal Recurrence Michael A.

Microsoft Word - Dolan.doc 1 In the Shadow of Frankenstein’s Creature: Harriet Jacobs’ Gothic Garret Noël Falco Dolan Department of English Villanova University For Mary Shelley and Harriet Jacobs, the paradigm of male authority and its connection with authorship as a primarily masculine act alters their identity as writers, as both hide their real names when publishing, either through anonymity or pseudonym.

• A Wittgensteinian Vision of Knowledge by none (2005) - To again take the image of the city; it is as if Cartesian knowledge looked beyond the borders of its borough of clarity and became embittered by the persistence of those old crooked streets.17 In this work, he provides a vision of knowledge which entails that clarity, distinctness, and certainty are the necessary attributes which constitute knowing.

Dickinson scholar Johanna Winant comments that the show’s “version of Dickinson is pretty close to [her] Emily Dickinson: the one [she knows] not through her biography but through her poetry” (Winant).

• Eschatological Temporality, Or: 'Bergson and the Reign of Theos'* by none (2009) - Time is already presupposed in an experience in order to allow for one to grasp relations such as “at the same time” or “succeeding in time.” The common way one understands time is in terms of motion: the seconds on a clock, 20 Henri Bergson, Time and Free Will, 102. Keywords: bergson; bergson‟s; change; duration; future; life; past; present; temporality; time

• Rousseau on Health: A Study of Our Relations by none (2015) - In what follows, I begin by addressing what Rousseau says about the body in a general sense, highlighting the causal connections he draws between the strength of body and the development of mind and, secondly, the importance they each hold for the cultivation of virtue. 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. Keywords: body; emile; health; man; pity; rousseau; sickness; suffering
• Ship of Fools: Democracy and Religious Performance in Melville's The Confidence-Man* by none (2017) - 20 In particular, he emphasizes that Melville marks the separation between the private religious self and the public, social self, and he identifies this stance as prefiguring philosophical works such as Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age (a theoretical influence for this study as well). Microsoft Word - 2191 Butler 1 “Ship of Fools”: Democracy and Religious Performance in Melville’s The Confidence-Man James Butler English In Book VI of Plato’s Republic, Socrates, illustrating a thought experiment, describes a mutiny aboard a ship.

• Macbeth's Likely Suspects* by none (2005) - Macbeth capitalizes on the Murderer's conception of masculinity, acknowledging their misfortune by offering, as an empowering, manly alternative, the potential for liberation from an oppressor. Lending form to the categorical designation of murderer are the First, Second, and Third Murderers, figures of material and psychological utility to Macbeth, and whose presence fulfills the thrice again prophesy of the Weird Sisters, assuring that the charm's wound up, and clinching the tragic series of murders that fulfills Macbeth's fortune (1. 3. 36-37).

• Not for Sale: Liberation and Commodified Identity in Ellison's Invisible Man by none (2006) - Finding such cues as clothing and speech no longer reliable as indicators of racial differences, white identity experienced a major crisis. This “contradiction between market incentives and the desire to encode white racial supremacy” ensured that the battle for white supremacy would not end on train cars (133): “The problem for the white southern elite ... was how to reconstruct a powerful and collective definition of whiteness within this new semi- public commercial sphere, which depended ... for its profitability upon both white and black buyers” (137).

• “The Man That I Praise”: Generational Transformation of the Postcolonial Masculine Ideal in Cathleen ni Houlihan, At the Hawk’s Well, and On Baile’s Strand by Cochran, Brendan T. (2023) - Through the course of these plays, the subtext then emerges that the elder generations of Irish political action were likewise led astray. The popular British ideas around Irish masculinity at the turn of the twentieth century were typical of the relationship between colonizers and native peoples.

If we are interested in what traffic density is like at the next time interval, the formula for qt+1 can be used: 𝐪𝒕!𝟏 = 𝑣 𝑡 𝐪𝒕 ∙ 𝐏 + 1 − 𝑣 𝑡 𝐪𝒕 = (2045, 3067, 2617.5, 4090, 5112.5, 3272.5, 4295) Keywords: exit; highway; matrix; model; number; time; traffic; vehicles
• Trans Utopianism and the Utopia of Transness in Leslie Feinberg’s Stone Butch Blues by none (2019) - This function of queerness is particularly important to note when considering that the lived experience of so many queer people, including Jess in Stone Butch Blues, has been characterized as being “out of time” or “out of place.” In the first paragraph Jess says, “Tonight I walked down streets looking for you in every woman’s face, as I have each night of this lonely exile” (Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues 1). Keywords: blues; butch; feinberg; future; gender; jess; queer; stone; time; trans
• A Joke Without a Clear Punchline: Joker as a Supervillain to Linearity by none (2021) - Violence is a staple of the superhero film genre, but the scenes in Joker could be said to be more intense than those of past films due to the hyperrealism attached to the otherwise fantastical genre, for “Genres lead distinctly double lives, with one foot in the past and the other in the present; they contain the entire abridged 5 history of an aesthetic form while also staking a claim to the form’s contemporary relevance” (Martin 6). Films may allude to time but they are not entirely specific to time, or, “Film remains isolated amid the network of practices that frame and fashion it, independently perceived as the effect of so many configurations of causes” (Beck 9). Keywords: character; film; fleck; genre; joker; meaning; past; phillips; present; scene; time; violence
• REM and Remembering: The Nature of Memory Consolidation and Memory Retrieval* by none (2005) - The transfer of other memories between hemispheres after being trained unihemispherically on the IAP procedure seems dubious. The approach used by Mayes (1995) to devise a “memory circuitry,” or anatomical interactions that seem to account for memory consolidation and retrieval, was to look at the effects of lesions to several brain structures with regards to amnesia, or loss of memory. Keywords: brain; consolidation; cortex; hemisphere; memories; memory; rem; retrieval; sleep; term; time
• Lunch and Learn: Testing the Theory of Change by Kennedy, Nicholas (2025) - While this study was done with elementary school students, it can be extrapolated that an extended period for lunch would have similar effects for high school students. The committee visited four different high schools with Lunch and Learn, conducted focus groups, and administered a survey to Conestoga students, parents, and staff before finalizing the new schedule. Keywords: conestoga; high; learn; lunch; resources; school; students; teachers; time

• Networks of Foam: Becoming through Relation in Marianne Moore's Shoreline Poems by none (2020) - While debates still question the extent to which we should consider Marianne Moore a post humanist or environmental activist, what is clear is that Moore’s inquisitive speaker represents a desire for herself and her readers to feel through poetic engagement with the body at the intertidal zone, the inextricable links between the human subject and nonhuman life forms. “Networks of Foam:” Becoming through Relation in Marianne Moore's Shoreline Poems Caitlyn Dittmeier English Marianne Moore in her poetry collection Observations adopts a speaker who evades a clear subjectivity and positionality.

• Constructing a Coherent Christian Sexual Ethic: Towards Discovering the Gift of Homosexuality* by none (2005) - 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. Keywords: church; ethic; flourishing; human; love; persons; relationships; self; sex
• Forgiveness in the Polis: Seeking Reconciliation In Post-Apartheid South Africa* by none (2006) - As of 2 June 2006, according to an article in the South African Mail & Guardian newspaper, most survivors called to give evidence during TRC hearings had received a single reparations payment of about US$4,000. Forgiveness in the Polis: Seeking Reconciliation Forgiveness in the Polis: Seeking Reconciliation In Post-Apartheid South Africa William H.

• Duns Scotus at the Intersection of Christology and Consciousness by none (2012) - 34 For soteriological reasons, Christ spent most of his earthly existence with the switch turned to human consciousness, but was still fully divine because at any time 29 Morris, “Metaphysics of God Incarnate,” 123. These problems seem most troublesome for a theology that includes a being who is both human and divine — but there are plenty of other areas of human consciousness currently being mapped, and potential disorders being catalogued, that would need to be accounted for in a plausible description of Christ’s humanness. Keywords: christ; consciousness; divine; human; nature; person; scotus; states; unity; view

• Back from the Dead: Rediscovering Value in John Okada’s No-No Boy and John Williams’s Stoner by none (2018) - However, this does not mean ethnic texts, like No-No Boy, should be read as simply expressions of a universal experience, a term that is purposefully vague so as to act as a “placeholder” for larger cultural assumptions, because universalizing its experience denies it the ability to speak to power. 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. Keywords: american; boy; experience; novel; okada; stoner; text; universal; value; way; white; writing
• “All influence is immoral:” Actor-Network Theory in The Picture of Dorian Gray by none (2021) - Protagonist Dorian Gray, a young, handsome, wealthy man, becomes the muse of esteemed artist Basil Hallward, who paints a realistic portrait of Dorian. “There is no doubt that Dorian Gray is another Faustian character, who through the influence of the flamboyant Lord Henry Wotton, ‘sells his soul’ for youth, sensations, experience and pleasure … Dorian is not fully aware of the fact that 4 his desires will eventually come true, where the picture will represent his true soul, and he, the individual, will represent the picture” (Dita, 348). Keywords: basil; dorian; henry; influence; lord; novel; portrait; soul
• I'm Her and I'm Me: Race, Power, and Sexual Violence in Walter Mosley’s Devil in a Blue Dress by Hayes, Megan (2024) - Easy is aware of the way this threat of sexual violence is racialized when he thinks to himself afterwards: I wasn’t afraid; I was angry, angry at the way he humiliated that boy. Examining sexual abuse as a racialized form of power within the context of Devil allows for a more comprehensive understanding of Mosley’s characters and their motivations, particularly those of Daphne and Easy. Keywords: abuse; albright; daphne; devil; easy; mosley; novel; power; violence; whiteness
• “You Can Never Work Facts as You Would Fixed Quantities”: Political Economy’s Failures in Thomas Malthus and Mary Barton by Reagan, Julia (2025) - 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). Keywords: barton; class; economy; gaskell; job; malthus; mary; novel; poor; population; society
• Constructions and Reconstructions: Feminism, Postmodernism, and The Handmaid's Tale* by none (2009) - 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. Keywords: body; feminist; gilead; handmaid; novel; offred; offred‟s; reading; regime; self; sense; tale

• Rebels with a Cause: Revolutionary Syndicalism, Anarchism, and Socialism in fin-de-siècle France* by none (2007) - 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. Keywords: anarchists; france; general; labor; movement; new; society; strikes; syndicalists; unions; workers
• The Tragedy of the Penitentiary: The Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons and the Formation of the Eastern State Penitentiary by none (2008) - The subject of prison reform in American history spans well over a century and encompasses a variety of ideas and theories.

• Lyric Messene: Collaborative Ethnogenesis and Historical Narrative by none (2018) - For the god of Ithome took (or takes) pleasure in the Muse who is pure and wears free sandals.17 These verses emphasize Messenian cult tradition (Zeus of Ithome) and the heritage of a free Messenian territory (ἐλεύθερα σάμβαλ᾽ ἔχοισα). While criticism of Messenian tradition is certainly warranted, ethnogenesis was not simply cynical propaganda on the part of the Thebans.

• The Legitimacy and Etiology of Dissociative Identity Disorder* by none (2013) - The Legitimacy and Etiology of Dissociative Identity Disorder Alexandra M Henning Psychology Abstract There exists a significant amount of disputation surrounding both the legitimacy and etiology of dissociative identity disorder (DID); two separate conflicts that are not mutually exclusive. The Legitimacy and Etiology of Dissociative Identity Disorder A significant amount of controversy has surrounded the legitimacy of a diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder (DID – previously known as multiple personality disorder, MPD), particularly within the framework of disagreements on the disorders etiology.

• Vampirism and Blood Identity: An Analysis of Social Constructions And Anxieties by none (2006) - that lust and hyper-sexuality link with barbarism, marking foreign women as clearly divergent from the righteousness and chasteness associated with white British women. At the same time, their total divergence from British women and his virtuous, proper fiancé creates a profound uneasiness within Harker.

• The Process and Implications of Self-Stigma in Schizophrenia by none (2014) - Brohan, Slade, Clement, and Thornicroft (2010) reviewed measures of the three aspects of stigma: perceived stigma (how the individual thinks society views him or her as a member of the stigmatized group), experienced stigma (experience of actual discrimination on the grounds of the stigmatized individual’s perceived inferiority), and self-stigma (internalization of the shame, blame, hopelessness, guilt, and fear of discrimination associated with mental illness). Additionally, perceived stigma was assessed in 79% of the studies, experienced stigma in 46% of the studies, and self-stigma in only 33% of the studies. Keywords: corrigan; illness; schizophrenia; self; stigma; watson
• A Form of Work We'd Rather Not Do Alone: Chen Chen, Poetics of Relationality, and the Intersubjective Lyric I by none (2020) - 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. Keywords: chen; chen chen; glavey; lyric; poem; poetry; portrait; possibilities; rankine; self; subject; work
• Let's Get Real: The Value of Realistic Job Previews in Recruitment Strategy by Morgan, Kelly (2023) - Realistic job previews (RJPs) are relevant to organizational strategy as it relates to recruitment, specifically in job retention, job turnover, and job satisfaction.

• The Desire for the Undesirable: Mimesis and Martial's Eunuch in Epigrams VI.67 by Ziegler, Nina (2022) - Luckily there is more to sex than intercourse and although Roman sources often dismiss other forms of pleasure, we shall consider them under the assumption that our sources are limited to reflecting perspectives of stuffy moralizing Roman men and are not inclusive of Roman sexual practices as a whole.28 Taking into account any sexual limitations of a eunuch, Martial pokes fun at the Gallus Baeticus whose particular proclivity is performing cunnilinctus: “quid cum femineo tibi, Baetice galle, barathreo? Unclear language regarding Roman gender construction leaves behind few clues with which to understand the role of eunuchs in Roman sexual relationships.10 There was certainly an aesthetic to eunuchs, as examples throughout the Epigrammata make fun of women’s attraction to effeminate eunuch softness and beardlessness. Keywords: domitian; eunuchs; gender; juvenal; literature; martial; men; power; press; roman; sex; sexuality; stevenson; university; vol
• Not What We Ought to Say: Male Anxiety and the Power of Female Speech in Shakespeare's King Lear and Richard III by none (2007) - Specific concerns of gendered speech—female speeches of power and the efforts of male speech to undermine such power—are brought about by the texts of the plays themselves. In this, Goneril anticipates the efforts that male speech will apply in attempts to efface female speech. Keywords: goneril; lear; male; power; richard; scene; speech; words
• Gained Instead: A Study of Power in Robert Browning's "Porphyria's Lover"* by none (2008) - Pygmalion could have easily been the model for Browning‟s speaker, as he also clearly prefers “pure” over “wanton” behavior in women, desires “perfect[ion],” and like Pygmalion, specifically does not speak (Browning 37, Chesler 60). 1 The plot begins with the speaker, a man, being visited at night by his lover, Porphyria, and ends ultimately with him strangling her. Keywords: act; lover; poem; porphyria; power; speaker; speaker‟s; victorian
• Party Development and Institutional Influences in Russia: Electoral Systems and the Presidency by none (2002) - The office of President has undermined the creation of parties, and the weakness of Russian parties has meant that the expected effects of electoral engineering have not manifested.

• “Song’s for a New World”: The Revision of Gender and Restructuring of Narrative in M. Butterfly (1988, 1993, and 2017) by none (2020) - 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.

• Effective Discipline for Misbehavior: In-School versus Out-of-School Suspension* by none (2003) - School suspension: A study with secondary school students.

One study showed a direct correlation between teacher training and calculator use. Keywords: calculator; children; mathematics; reys; school; students; teachers; use
• Compositional Collaboration: The Benefits of Integrating Black American and African American Vernacular English into Rhetoric and Composition Education by none (2019) - Standard language ideology plagues educators, academics, and rhetors with a narrow and prescriptive lens that has historically silenced individuals coming from marginalized communities. This is, of course, in direct conflict with standard language ideology, which Vershawn Ashanti Young defines as the “belief that there is one set of dominant language rules that stem from a single dominant discourse (like standard English) that all writers and speakers of English must conform to in order to communicate effectively. Keywords: american; classrooms; educators; english; language; standard; students; vernacular
• Teaching Tolerance through the Lens of the Holocaust: The Goodwin Holocaust Museum and Education Center of South Jersey* by none (2005) - Specifically in Holocaust museums, because the event is so difficult to grasp, scholars have argued that “rather than communicating new information…the greatest strengths of [these] museums may be in confirming, reinforcing, and extending the existing beliefs of their visitors. One stemmed from the majority of the American public hailing the national museum as a success; therefore, other Holocaust museums could legitimately use it as a model.

• Three Augustinian Clerics Die: Navigating a Campus's Experience During a Global Pandemic by Cholowinski, Jenna (2025) - In addition, this period at Villanova College experienced a consistent growth in the number of students, as historian David Contosta wrote that these numbers “went from 38 in the fall of 1898, to 76 in 3 1905, to 132 in 1914… by 1914 the college enrollment was more than twice that of the [boys preparatory] academy (132 to 56).”10 By 1918, Villanova’s campus included a seminary, a preparatory academy for boys, and a college for lay people. On September 15, 1918, there was a recorded 185 enrolled students into the Villanova unit of the SATC.14 With new developments like the SATC, Villanova College was prepared to operate as a patriotic institution eager to have another great academic year.

• Reform in Mathematics Education: Rethinking the Curriculum by none (2002) - Similarly, Everyday Mathematics students in the first two or three years of school implementation scored 2.5 points better than their counterparts, whereas Everyday Mathematics students in their fourth year of school implementation scored 5.7 points better” (2001, p. 383).  This one-year qualitative study inquiring into the responses of low achieving students in reform-based mathematics classrooms indicated that in all five math classrooms there were only three occasions out of 34 observations when low achievers volunteered answers during class discussions, verbalizing only one-word answers or remaining silent while their partners spoke. Keywords: mathematics; reform; school; students
• Time for Conversations, Room for Reform: The importance of theory, history, and philosophy in teacher education programs by none (2009) -   Time for Conversations, Room for Reform: The importance of theory, history, and philosophy in teacher education programs Karen Zaino Education “I am urging every teacher education program today to make better outcomes for students the overarching mission that propels all their efforts.” --Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, 2009 At first blush, Secretary Duncan’s call to strengthen teacher education programs appears irrefutable; what can be wrong with better outcomes for students? 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).

• Under the Reign of Doubt: Chaucer's House of Fame and Narrative Authority* by none (2003) - That the text is made all the more baffling by an abrupt conclusion has led to much speculation from scholars regarding its finished or unfinished nature, especially pertaining to the identity of the man of great authority seen “atte laste” (The Riverside Chaucer 373, l. 2155), who, ironically, will remain indefinitely unseen. 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. Keywords: authority; chaucer; evans; fame; geffrey; house; language; narrative; nature; poem
• Lipstick Signification and Written Flirtation: Gendering Metaphor in Locke’s “The Abuse of Words”* by none (2013) - Instead of looking at the appearance and impact of sex metaphors in philosophical texts, I will discuss how the linguistic mechanism of metaphor itself, and figurative language at large, has been cast as an inferior and feminine mode of expression in philosophy. Here I do not mean that there is something inherently ‘feminine’ revealed in the use of figurative language. Keywords: black; doeuff; language; locke; metaphor; philosophy; sex
• “None but I bestir me”: Failed Elegy as the Absence of Communal Language in Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy by none (2014) - If we agree with Nagy that public delivery and communal consumption are constituent features of formal elegy, then Hieronimo’s dirge fails in its elegiac capacity precisely because it does not adequately “communalize” his grief. Under my argument, elegiac language has the same fate if it is not communally produced according to a process similar to the one described by Nagy. Keywords: community; elegy; grief; hieronimo; isabella; language; speech
• It will grow muddy for want of motion: Interpretations of Fixing the English Language in Gulliver's Travels and Rasselas* by none (2006) - Language works as a passport to gain acceptance into foreign cultures and both Gulliver and Rasselas come to radically different conclusions concerning language and its significance. 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.

• Kurtz and Modernity: The Epistemological Crisis at the Heart of Darkness by none (2010) - You can‟t judge Mr. Kurtz as you would an ordinary man […] there was nothing on earth to prevent him killing whom he jolly well pleased” (56). Earlier in the text, but chronologically after his conversation with the Russian trader, Marlow recalls that “[Kurtz‟s] nerves went wrong and caused him to preside at certain midnight dances ending with unspeakable rites, which — as far as I reluctantly gather from what I heard at various times — were offered up to him — do you understand — to Mr. Kurtz himself” (49-50).

• Is Stephen Dedalus a Vampire? Bodily Breath, Creation, and Art in “Proteus” and “Aeolus” by none (2018) - How, then, can this theory of stasis be reconciled with Stephen’s apparently very bodily experiences related to his production of art, particularly his moments of respiration/breathing, in the “Proteus” episode in Ulysses?1 Is what Stephen produces in “Proteus” (and, later, in “Aeolus”) really art, and, if so, what does this say about the nature of his vocation as an artist? How can what we glean from Stephen’s artistic efforts illuminate how we read the book and how we understand the nature of the other types of creation in Ulysses, especially Bloom’s advertising efforts?

• Absence, Desire, and Love in John Donne and Roland Barthes by none (2002) - Language, operating with the same logic as a bodily drive, can then be seen as a desirous exchange motivated by an absence which is never obtained—only sought through endlessly deferred signs—which Donne dramatizes and Barthes theorizes. As in the enlarged frozen moments Barthes offers up for further examination in A Lover’s Discourse, Donne poetically strikes a series of poses which constitute his fictional speaker’s identity in relation to a series of revisions of an elusive beloved.           Keywords: absence; barthes; beloved; desire; donne; kristeva; love; poem; speaker

• Is This Thing On?: Staging Gender, Sexuality, and Race via Metatheatricality by Juarez, Teya (2023) - These performances require the audience to fulfill a different role than what the presumably largely straight, cis, white audience is expecting. The normative audience now gets a taste, albeit a small taste, of how the queer and BIPOC audience feels when they enter other spaces in the world.

The binomial distribution B(n, p) is a probability mass function (probability distribution function for discrete random variables) that models the number of successes or failures of n independent identical trials where each trial only has an outcome of a success with probability p or failure with probability 1− p. Keywords: ability; appearances; distribution; model; obp; plate
• Predicting Bone-Age Using X-ray Images: Deep Learning by none (2021) - Finally, just as in the first-place model, data augmentation and ensembling on nine models were used to improve model performance [3]. Models, such as a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a transfer learning model, were fit using inputs including gender only, X-ray image only, and both X-ray image and gender. Keywords: age; images; mae; model
• Board-Staff Relationships in Small Nonprofits by none (2008) - Small nonprofit boards deal with this vulnerability by requiring board approval of even modest amounts — in the case of one organization the executive could not spend more than 200 dollars on his own volition. Boardsource, an influential organization that produces books and trainings for nonprofit boards, follows this model. Keywords: board; executive; members; model; nonprofits; organizations; practices; staff
• The Evolution of the Computerized Database by none (2002) - Object relational databases do not even follow this standard, as object-relational databases do not attempt to map objects to relations.  Today we find database systems running on DBMSs that adhere to either the network or hierarchical database models in legacy systems.  Keywords: data; database; model; network; object; oracle; record; relational; technology

It will also explore how this activism allowed Alaska Natives to avoid the worst effects of Termination, where Native land claims in the United States unilaterally terminated by the Federal Government.4 2 During the twentieth century, Alaska Native groups such as the Alaskan Native Brotherhood (ANB) and the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) advocated for Native land rights.

• The Color of Suffrage: Voter Disenfranchisement, Power Threat Hypotheses and Modern Democracy by none (2008) - 33 Additionally, the strength and validity of Power Threat hypotheses persist, as the positive relationship between states’ minority racial composition and the severity of felon disenfranchisement laws adopted is statistically significant. 34 Given the racial composition of our prison population, felon disenfranchisement laws necessarily homogenize the voting public, skew the partisan makeup of our political bodies and influence the construction and design of policy agendas.

• The Vexed Position of the Black Secret-Bearer: Concealments and Revelations in Hannah Crafts’ The Bondwoman’s Narrative by none (2021) - In one of the text’s most significant moments, when Mrs. Vincent hesitantly reveals to Hannah about how the former has been passing for white and that Mr. Trappe has been blackmailing her using this unearthed information, Hannah tells her, “I implore you to confide in me, to entrust me with this dreadful secret, that knowing I may more deeply sympathize with your woes and wrongs” (44). But before we explore the details of Hannah’s transformation, let us look a little more closely at Mr. Trappe himself.

• Examining the Mythic Past: 1950 Westerns and Interdisciplinary Interpretation* by none (2013) - Since the golden era of Western film, the idea of the lone cowboy has leached into American political and cultural space, patrolling the range, acting righteously even if doing so requires a descent into the savage behavior of the dehumanized Other, upholding an ambiguous and necessarily racist (according to the cowboy) moral code. Indeed, Western films embodied an American cultural language produced and accepted by filmmakers and audiences alike which now exposes for interdisciplinary scholars latent information not so much about the eras portrayed in film as the time during which and the people by and for whom they were made.

• Appropriating Tenement Dublin: Seán O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock on the 1990s Abbey Theatre Stage by none (2019) - As income data demonstrate, appalling poverty was still very much a part of Celtic Tiger Ireland.

• The Mute Aisling: Staging Sociopolitical Shifts through Disability in the Abbey Theatre’s Productions of Translations by none (2019) - Accepting Sarah as a personification of Ireland, therefore, is an opportunity both to examine how her struggles resonate with current events during an adaptation’s production and the shifting representation of disability in popular culture. Ainsworth notes that she envisioned Sarah blossoming as the play progressed, with Byrne “at first used no end consonants and then only gradually [bringing] them in.” Keywords: abbey; archive; bradfield; byrne; disability; friel; hutton; ireland; irish; manus; performance; play; production; sarah; stage; theatre; translations; voice
• Masques and Metamorphosis: The Theatricality of Revenge and How It Shapes Identity by none (2019) - Hieronimo feigns madness, awaiting an opportunity to avenge Horatio, which arises from a chance to play another role.

• All The Wonders: Phenomenology and Making Julius Caesar Relevant Again by Stryker, Sarah (2022) - I write this paper to encourage contemporary audiences to approach Shakespeare with confidence and to help contemporary theatre makers gain a better understanding of how original performance conventions can bring Julius Caesar to life.

• PTSD in Pre-School Children: A Review and Synthesis of Research on the Need for a Separate DSM Category* by none (2013) - The diagnostic criteria are therefore centralized around adults, yet young children are diagnosed under the same category (Kaminer, Seedat, & Stein, 2005). However, the focus is still on having enough symptoms at a certain frequency, rather than concentrating on the intensity of the symptoms and the level of impairment, which are found to be more discriminatory for younger children (Carrion, Weems, Ray, & Reiss, 2002; Cohen & Scheeringa, 2009).

• Memorandum Mori: How the Budapest Memorandum Failed to Protect Ukraine by Haughton, Brian (2025) - The signatories of the Budapest Memorandum agreed to specific borders for Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, and Russia had blatantly violated that part of the agreement. During the early hours of February 27, in a direct violation of Article 2 of the Budapest Memorandum, Russian troops without insignia (a violation of the Geneva Convention) appeared in Crimea amidst the chaos in mainland Ukraine, and took military control of the regional capital 13 building in Simferopol.xxix That day Russian protestors were brought to Sevastopol (a city that is a separate administration from the rest of Crimea) to prepare for a sham referendum.

• The Incredibly Loud and Uncomfortably Close Narrator of Uncle Tom’s Cabin by none (2018) - Defining Stowe’s narrator—especially since the narrator is so multi-voiced—seems a logical endeavor for one seeking to detect the narrator’s function and tone, but scholars do not agree on even this elemental step. Christopher Diller, on the other hand, strictly establishes boundaries between author and narrator, calling the narrator always “Stowe’s narrator”: “Stowe’s narrator does not obscure the plain fact that Ophelia imprisons Topsy” (35).

• Gen Z on the Horizon: The Importance of Strategic Change Within the Organization by Diacogiannis, Doria (2023) - According to Chillakuri (2020), Gen Z employees generally seek fair treatment, learning and development opportunities, and immediate feedback; and per Schroth (2019), Gen Z is characterized by a lack of work experience in their teenage years, which may lead to an idealistic perception of work experiences. However, given that Gen Z employees are the future of the workforce, such organizational change will inherently serve to benefit the organization, as Gen Z would ultimately become more attracted to serve an organization that values them as individuals.

Janie’s hope for an egalitarian marriage derives directly from her relationship to and knowledge of nature, while Killicks’ objectification of Janie mirrors his utilitarian view of nature.

Unlike in Stephen’s case, Clarissa Dalloway’s coming-of-age from girlhood to middle age and the way her associations with temperature change are not shown to the reader; her younger self is revealed only in flashbacks.

• The Unracing of Whiteness in "Heart of Darkness" by Shea, Ethan (2022) - Taking Conrad’s white cultural depictions and biographical information into account, how could his whiteness be seen as an overarching symbol? There are ongoing, heated debates among Conrad scholars about whether Conrad himself endorsed these descriptions or used them to critique imperialism, and much of these conversations surround the broader question of whether this text, with all its racism, should continue to be taught, and if so, how?

• Retaining Generation Z in the Workforce by Matzerath, Paige (2024) - In these findings, the researchers learned that Generation Z employees value intrinsic rewards more than leisure rewards, which might be surprising since both the Millennial generation and Generation Z have a negative stereotype of being lazy and self-centered (Farrell & Phungsoonthron, 2020). Taibah and Ho (2023) wanted to evaluate if flexible work options would provide more time to hone employee skillsets and increase overall knowledge, which would increase access to support and information for Generation Z employees.

Michael S. Gurney purports that Dickens was well-read in medical literature and even ahead of his time in recognizing peculiar symptoms – the character Phil in Bleak House presents with an affliction that many doctors today would diagnose as Ménière’s disease but that would not be named for several years after Dickens’s description (80-81).

• Biofeedback and Anxiety Disorders: A Critical Review of EMG, EEG, and HRV Feedback by none (2015) - In this paper, I will review the available research on biofeedback treatments for anxiety disorders, a project I restrict to those anxiety disorders within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) categorization; I focus on those disorders that have received enough attention in the field to draw at least preliminary conclusions (panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and similar historical diagnoses). It has also been used to treat the more cognitive components of anxiety disorders and may be more effective in those disorders in which the cognitive experience is central, such as generalized anxiety disorder (Schoenberg & David, 2014).

• The Barroom Blitz: Competing Neural Underliers of Impulsive Aggressive Phenotype Have Different Implications in Antisocial Personality Disorder by none (2017) - Clearly the inverse of the typical psychopath, this is a high emotional-responder with poor impulse control, as indicated by high limbic system response to emotional stimuli and potential threats, and impaired or abnormal prefrontal performance during attempts to inhibit emotional responses. In healthy individuals, the amygdala mediates rapid attention to emotional stimuli, particularly threat. Keywords: amygdala; aspd; bpd; disorder; ied; patients; personality; psychopathy; stimuli

• Artemisia's Revenge: Rape and Art in the Work of Jean-Luc Nancy by none (2014) - To image violence, then, would be to make a representation of violence that is at the same time distinct from violence. In his paper “Image and Violence”, Nancy (2005b) defines violence as “the application of a force that remains foreign to the dynamic or energetic system into which it intervenes” (16). Keywords: artemisia; image; nancy; sense; subject; violence

• The Authoritarian Roots of Contemporary Populist Movements: Explaining the Rise of the Alternative für Deutschland by none (2021) - In his discussion of the origins of Populism, Müller briefly touches on, though not necessarily subscribing to, the idea that “…Social Democratic parties have abandoned the task of offering a real alternative to neoliberalism; their convergence on a ‘Third Way’ reinforced the 12 sense among voters that they were being offered ‘elections without choice’…” such that electors had little choice in whether neoliberal principles were being applied by most political parties across the board in most modernized democracies (53). 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.

• Queering An Icon: The Legend of Zelda and Inclusive Diversity by none (2020) - Gerudo Link and Alternative Masculinity The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild contains a major quest chain that includes Link needing to gain entrance to a village of all female warriors, similar to the Amazons of Greek and Roman myth. Jack Halberstam argues that fictional avatars, regardless of the character’s direct agency in whatever medium they exist in is as such, are the centrally important component in any individual’s experience with a piece of art.iii Link is, and has always been, depicted as a silent protagonist whose agency is given to him by either a prophecy, the player directly, or a combination of the two.

• The Aesthetics of Phrenology: Re-examining the Lost Paragraph in Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” by Riekstins, Adam (2024) - 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.

• Dying for Wisdom: Seneca and Socrates in Dialogue by Markhoff, Elisa (2023) - In order to do this, Seneca brings together different arguments from a number of philosophic schools, a technique that was common in the genre of consolation, “in the hope that at least one [of these arguments] would prove effective”.25 Seneca openly acknowledges this when he tells Marcia that “different people should be treated in different ways: some are guided by reason, some require to be confronted with famous names” (2.1).

• The Impact Of Climate Change On The Mistiming Of Bird-Resource Phenologies by none (2013) - 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). Keywords: birds; breeding; change; et al; food; migration; population

• Outland as Motherland: Maternity and Homosexuality in Willa Cather's The Professor's House* by none (2007) - Lying on his death-bed couch within the maternally symbolic attic room, St. Peter falls “out of all domestic and social relations, out of his place in the human family,” releasing himself “from consciousness” and returning to mother “Earth,” the “root of the matter” and source of “the original, unmodified Godfrey St. Peter” (239). In any case, the coalescence of maternity and homosexuality in The Professor’s House certainly encourages a conception of St. Peter’s lost intimacy with Tom Outland as a failed attempt to reconfigure mother-son 7 See The Reproduction of Mothering, 79. 9 Peter Nagy unity. Keywords: cather; house; maternal; mother; outland; peter; professor; tom

• Saint Albert the Great's Revolution: Legitimizing Aristotelian Ethical Thought and Its Integration into a Theory of the Cardinal Virtues by none (2019) - Saint Albert reasons, though, that, if prudence marks “the perfection of reason,” reason itself must be distinguished between “that which acts according to its own object, and that which governs other actions”; thus, prudence, which must be able to perfect itself in acting according to its own object in order to direct other actions, must be “more perfect than other virtues” in that it “completes wisdom by choosing what is beneficial.”54 1 SAINT ALBERT THE GREAT’S REVOLUTION: LEGITIMIZING ARISTOTELIAN ETHICAL THOUGHT AND ITS INTEGRATION INTO A THEORY OF THE CARDINAL VIRTUES John F. Cacchione Theology Introduction Despite a slow but growing interest in the writings of Aristotle in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, Saint Albert the Great’s embrace of Aristotelian thinking significantly increased the depth and the breadth of scholarly interest.

• Something to Crow About: Birds with Tools by McCarthy, William (2022) - Tool use can be defined by “the use of an external object as a functional extension of a mouth or beak, hand or claw, which extends the physical influence of the animal in the attainment of an immediate goal (Goodall, 1970; Kamil & Jones, 1973). The evolution of tool use in Homo Sapiens reveals important aspects about the development of higher-order cognition. Keywords: birds; crows; food; manufacture; nccs; new; task; tool; use

• Maxine Hong Kingston’s complex, multi-faceted, and paradoxical postmodernism in The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of A Girlhood Among Ghosts. by none (2018) - Angeline Nies-Berger English When Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of A Girlhood Among Ghosts was published in 1976,1 the novel’s reception was the epitome of controversial: while some critics saw the novel as subversively feminist, swapping a hero for a heroine living her life against the currents of the Chinese patriarchy which thought having girls was a waste resources (“Better to raise geese than girls”), others, including prominent figures of Asian American literary critique, said about the work that it reinforced Chinese stereotypes and was written purely for the enjoyment of racist Western societies.2 In Conversations with Maxine Hong Kingston, it is reported that she said the following of memory and contradicting stories: “I like the difference in seeing [her brothers’ and sisters’ and her points of view] because it could have been either way; one remembered it one way and one the other.

• The thing and the feeling of that thing: The Poetics of William Carlos Williams, Neural Representations of Conceptual Primitives, and Grounded Cognition by none (2020) - 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. Keywords: grapes; object; poetry; thing; williams

• The Ties That Bind: Personal Feelings in Giovanni's Room by Wynn, Eva (2023) - There are multiple moments throughout the novel that show that this is also true of other personal feelings besides grief. In “Violence, Mourning, Politics,” the second chapter of their book Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence, Judith Butler claims that it is through personal feelings such as grief that we come to know how connected to each other we truly are.

• Amygdala Abnormality and Its Role in Autistic Socio-Emotional Impairment: A Proposed Study of Somatic Intervention Among Macaque Monkeys* by none (2003) - As discussed previously, MRI and postmortem examinations have found moderate to severe structural abnormalities in autistic amygdala (Aylward et al., 1999). Consequently, the prevailing theory for autistic amygdala deformity proposes a deficit in neuronal pruning during early development (Rapin and Katzman, 1998; Aylward et al., 1999). Keywords: amygdala; autism; autistic; et al; expressions; face; processing; research; sts

• The Impact of Nitrogen Eutrophication on Caribbean Coral Reefs: A Review* by none (2014) - Nutrient enrichment on coral reefs: is it a major cause of coral reef decline?

• “And down now, down…”: the Wildernesses of “Burning Chrome” and Inception by none (2018) - While this previous scholarship has solidly established a connection between Gibson’s works and Inception, and has created precedent for interpreting Inception as a natural evolution of the themes and concerns of Gibson’s works, no substantial scholarship has yet considered how Inception’s sharing of minds and “Burning Chrome’s” shared digital space both function as gothic wildernesses. 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). Keywords: chrome; cyberspace; dream; gothic; inception; jack; person; wilderness

• Genetic Factors are More Predictive of Adult Drinking Behavior than Early Exposure to Alcohol in Mice Genetically Selected for Alcohol Preference by none (2008) - These findings would suggest that early initiation of alcohol drinking may increase subsequent drinking following exposure to a stressor in adulthood. The present study was designed to test these relations in a mouse model by examining whether alcohol exposure during adolescence versus adulthood would increase alcohol consumption following exposure to stress as adults, and whether this effect was dependent on a family history of high or low alcohol preference. Keywords: alcohol; day; drinking; exposure; hap2; injection; lap2; mice; preference; saline; stress

• Wind speed thresholds for Typha cattail seed release and local reduction of wind speed by mixed cattail/Phragmites stands* by none (2010) - Wind speeds in the field Wind speed at the maximum Phragmites and Typha heights and 0.5 m above the tallest plant did not differ significantly from the average speed measured by the weather station at any site (Fig. 2). 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. Keywords: average; height; phragmites; seeds; site; speed; typha; wetland; wind

• The Phylogeny of New World Chickadees in the family Paridae by none (2016) - In 2005 Frank Gill, formerly of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, elevated five of these suggestions to genera (Gill et al., 2005). Important to these changes was removing all New World taxa from Parus, with the seven chickadees placed in Poecile and the five crested titmice placed in Baeolophus (Gill et al., 2005). Keywords: chickadee; paridae; phylogeny; species; tit

• Scientific Jury Selection: History, Practice, and Controversy* by none (2004) - Even though the majority of court cases are not settled by juries, predictions about juries influence decisions to pursue or avoid jury trials (Greene, Chopra, Kovera, Penrod, Rose, Schuller et al., 2002); therefore, the jury system maintains a central importance in American law. 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).
