“Margaret Fuller on the Stage”
No full text"Margaret Fuller on the Stage" considera la presenza di Fuller come personaggio del dramma di Susan Sontag, "Alice in Bed" (1993), in cui la protagonista Alice James si intrattiene -- nella scena della propria mente -- con importanti donne di lettere come Emily Dickinson e la Fuller oltre a due personaggi di fantasia, al fine di ricavarne consigli e insegnamenti. Di Fuller il saggio mette in rilievo la personalità incline al "role-playing" e all'auto-drammatizzazione conducendo così a un giro di vite sul problema dell'identità dell'autrice di "Woman in the Nineenth-century" pesantemente manipolata, alla sua morte, dai grandi Maestri del trascendentalismo, come Emerson e Hawthorne, oltre a eminenti scrittori come Higginson, Poe e James che ne fornirono all'unisono un ritratto poco rispondente al carattere di donna trasgressiva che condivide parzialmente con le altre figure invocate nella scena del dramma di Sontag. Citazioni dai sei volumi di lettere della scrittrice raccolte da Robert Hudspeth e analogie tra la situazione "nonsensical" della scena con l'assurda situazione in cui viene a trovarsi il personaggio Alice creato da Lewis Carroll quando attraversa la soglia tra veglia e sonno sono messe a confronto con il dramma pirandelliano "Come tu mi vuoi", perchè il lettore possa valutare appieno il ruolo della "maschera" -- una ricerca condotta a suo tempo da Pirandello e riproposta da Sontag -- nell'auto-costruzione del sè. In pieno possesso del suo personaggio, Sontag crea, con Fuller, la propria complice e il proprio doppio, facendo di lei, come fu fatto a suo tempo di Sontag stessa da Norman Mailer, una "Dark Lady". Il ricco apparato di note ha il merito di ricongiungere la puntuale ricerca delle femministe Sandra Gilbert e Susan Gubar che data al 1979 con l'aggiornata interpretazione teatrale delle tre principali scrittrici da parte dell'intellettuale Sontag."Margaret Fuller on the Stage” focuses on the presence of Fuller as a character in Susan Sontag’s play "Alice in Bed" (1993), where Alice, the protagonist, entertains – in the scene of her own mind – important women of letters, such as Emily Dickinson and Fuller besides two fictional characters, with the aim of obtaining advice and counseling. The essay is devoted to Fuller’s persona – mostly, her inkling towards role-playing and self-dramatization –- and leads to a turning point that revolves around the problem of identity of the author of Woman in the Nineenth-Century. It also focuses on the question of the manipulation of Margaret Fuller on the part of the great Transcendentalist Masters such as Emerson and Hawthorne, besides eminent writers like Higginson, Poe and Henry James, who portrayed her as a different woman from the transgressive figure who shares the features of the other women of letters evoked in Sontag’s drama. Quotations from the six volumes of the writer’s letters, gathered by Robert Hudspeth, and analogies between the "nonsensical" situation of the scene with the absurd situation where Lewis Carroll’s Alice falls into when she crosses the threshold between wake and sleep, are compared with Pirandello’s play, 'As You Desire Me', in order for the reader to evaluate the role of the “mask ". That is a research concerning the construction of the self that was undertaken also by Pirandello and was then re-proposed by Sontag. Well in possession of her main character in Scene 5 of the play, Sontag sees in Fuller her own accomplice and turns her – as Norman Mailer did with Sontag herself – into a "Dark Lady". The rich and extensive reference apparatus links up the work of feminist critics Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar (dating to 1979) with intellectual Sontag’s updated theatrical interpretation of the three main characters
Review of Wholeness: On Education, Buckminster Fuller, and Tao
No full textAuthor, and visionary, Alex Gerber Jr. has masterfully crafted a treatise that clearly illustrates, for most readers, theories of renowned architect, inventor, author, poet Buckminster Fuller with principles of spirituality found in Tao. In doing so he arrives at a means (education) of achieving harmony (wholeness) with ourselves and the planet. Gerber believes:
Awakening to wholeness may be the single most important event in anyone\u27s life. This fundamental evolution refers to experiencing and valuing the interconnectedness of creation, the oneness of being. The whole, which ecompasses all subjects, experiences, and perceptions, is the arena in which everything occurs, the essential point of reference
Jesus Christ, the 'Prince of pilgrims' : a critical analysis of the ontological, functional, and exegetical christologies in the sermons, writings, and lectures of Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
No full textThis thesis centers on the doctrine of Christ in the theology of Charles Haddon
Spurgeon through the lens of Spurgeon’s highly developed metaphor, that of Jesus
Christ, the “Prince of pilgrims.” That no scholarly work has thus analyzed or surveyed
Spurgeon’s ontological, functional, and exegetical Christologies warrants continued
contribution to the field of scholarship. Though not a systematician, Spurgeon stood
in direct theological continuity with his Nonconformist Puritan predecessors and
transmitted a highly developed Christology that was Chalcedonian in creed and
Alexandrian in style. This thesis positions Spurgeon’s Christology against the
backdrop of a complex Victorian religious context that, through the use of scientific
enquiry, sought to recover the full humanity of Christ. Though reacting against
modern conclusions concerning the person, natures, and work of Christ, Spurgeon
also sought to recover Christ’s humanity, though his theological presuppositions stood
in marked contradistinction to the spirit of the age. Particular attention is given to
Spurgeon’s utilization of an allegorical hermeneutic to the end that his vernacular, at
times, potentially deviates from traditional, orthodox Christological teachings. The
scope of this research is a survey of Spurgeon’s Christology by way of his sermons,
published writings, lectures, and letters. The purpose of this study is to analyze
Spurgeon’s doctrine of Christ in the context of the wider theological tradition through
an investigation of his allegorical and innovative rhetoric

While on the faculty of the Colorado Agricultural College he collected extensively in the West, specializing in the Homoptera.

Global Contests in the Production of Business Knowledge :
No full textDrawing on institutional theory, the global production of business research is analysed by examining the system of written outputs using one of the largest databases of journal papers ever assembled, covering over 65,000 articles produced by more than 54,000 authors from over 8,000 different institutions across the period 1992-2005. We begin by pointing out how the US business schools pioneered the modern institutional system of undertaking and disseminating research that involves the intertwining of and university business schools and journals. While Wharton and Harvard are still the leading universities globally, their crowns are slipping, together with the position of the US generally. We observe the greatest challenges to the existing order as coming from European and Asian institutions that have either copied, or been inspired to innovate by adapting, the US system. London Business School, Erasmus, INSEAD and Tilburg are threatening to topple leading US universities in the undertaking of research, and other European and Asian institutions are close behind.
