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 cache: concept-2084.pdf plain text: concept-2084.txt item: #59 of 268 id: concept-2181 author: none title: United States Propaganda in Iran and the Cold War Paradigm date: 2017 words: 5954 flesch: 45 summary: However, declassified documents also reveal that U.S. propaganda relied on arguments that actually undermined Orientalist ideas by showing commonalities between the West and Iran. 4 Therefore, anti-communist propaganda by the U.S. was not strictly intended to stop the spread of Communism, but rather to thwart Soviet propaganda that undermined U.S. interests by speaking to the concerns of Iranian nationalists. keywords: cia; department; document; iran; iranian; nsa; propaganda; state; u.s; united cache: concept-2181.pdf plain text: concept-2181.txt item: #60 of 268 id: concept-2182 author: none title: The Barroom Blitz: Competing Neural Underliers of Impulsive Aggressive Phenotype Have Different Implications in Antisocial Personality Disorder date: 2017 words: 8293 flesch: 38 summary: 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.

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. keywords: christian; córdoba; eulogius; ibid; identity; liverpool; martyrdom; martyrs; muslim; press; university cache: concept-2493.pdf plain text: concept-2493.txt item: #104 of 268 id: concept-2495 author: none title: Tracing the Missing Letter: Reassembling Nonhuman Agency in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake date: 2020 words: 5088 flesch: 60 summary: Surely these signifieds can be reversed and still hold true, because “his name” and “your name”, Nikolai Gogol and Ashoke Gogol, Gogol Ganguli and Ashoke Ganguli, (Nikhil) Gogol Ganguli and Nikolai Gogol all transpose onto each other within the name and person of Gogol Ganguli. keywords: actors; ashima; ashoke; gogol; jones; lahiri; letter; namesake; reality; social cache: concept-2495.pdf plain text: concept-2495.txt item: #105 of 268 id: concept-2496 author: none title: Boys Will Be Boys: Constructions of Toxic Masculinity in Dramatic, Metaphorized, and Real-Life War Spaces date: 2020 words: 4768 flesch: 53 summary: 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.

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. keywords: american; history; morven; museum; new; north; people; plantation; press; slavery; space; university; visitors; york cache: concept-2499.pdf plain text: concept-2499.txt item: #109 of 268 id: concept-250 author: none title: This Old Alley: Memory, Preservation, and Commemoration on Elfreth's Alley* date: 2004 words: 6983 flesch: 53 summary: Her words 14 Urban Archives, “Men and Things;” Urban Archives, “Venerable Elfreth Alley.” 15 Robert E.

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.

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. keywords: blenkinsopp; deity; ezekiel; garden; god; ibid; isaiah; marzēah; ritual; trito; worship cache: concept-285.pdf plain text: concept-285.txt item: #182 of 268 id: concept-286 author: none title: Salvation in a False Direction: How Domestic Materiality in two Literary Case Studies Reconfigures the Victorian Family date: 2007 words: 6302 flesch: 54 summary: When the members of the family leave the self-contained unit and enter the production-based society, the individuals suffer commodification and, as a result, the relations amongst family member are abnormally altered.
