Marx\u27s Materialist Sociology of Knowledge: Colliding Empirical Frameworks of Consciousness
No full text‘Consciousness’ is among the more problematic and ambiguous terms in social science. In response to modernity, Karl Marx provided a new view of consciousness. The dissertation engages in Marx’s work beyond the confining frameworks of economism, history and philosophy. As we await the dawn of Marx’s proletarians revolution, the contemporary sciences continue to grapple with explaining consciousness. The dissertation examines how the sciences think about consciousness. What’s more, this project illustrates that explaining ‘consciousness’ will require more than rethinking our conceptualizations of ‘consciousness.’ Today’s understanding of ‘consciousness’ is such that new analysis is possible, but only in considering how scientific traditions stymie progress; all for the sake of tradition rather than truth

A Web of Commemoration: Mary Clark Sturtevant and the Berkeley Memorial Chapel, 1881-1934
No full textIn this article, Sara A. Butler deftly tells a family history that intertwines with the founding of St Columba’s, the Berkeley Memorial Chapel, in Middletown. In so doing, she takes us beyond the Gilded Age transformation of Newport to the development of another part of Aquidneck Island which has been less documented. She combines the significant story of Bishop George Berkeley who moved to Newport in 1729, with the nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century family history of Mary Clark Sturtevant, a preservationist, whose vision and determination led to the building of the memorial chapel. The author describes the “web of commemoration” that binds the Berkeley saga, the late-nineteenth-century development of Middletown, and family history in the shape of a “jewelbox” building adorned with significant decorative details. The exquisite photographs of Sarah Long, an NHS staff member, adorn the author’s analysis of St. Columba’s. Sara A. Butler is a professor of art and architectural history at Roger Williams University where she teaches courses on American art and architecture. and Newport art and architecture. She has lectured and published on American landscapes, commemoration and memory and American public art
Networks of Survival in Kinshasa, Mumbai, Detroit, and Comparison Cities; an Empirical Perspective
Get PDFPeople in impoverished cities, for example in Kinshasa, lend small quantities of food to neighbors when requested, to prevent starvation. In Mumbai, they share their living space with others who are homeless. In Detroit, churches and the Detroit Urban League have helped poor residents to obtain jobs, meals, and housing. Rather than mere self-interest, this expression of generosity is an outstanding human quality. Networks of survival also include the lessons of history, good economic and political policies, human rights, equal opportunity, and culture
