Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
September 2015 Update Corcoran Aristotle Bibliography
No full textThis presentation includes a complete bibliography of John Corcoran’s publications relevant on Aristotle’s logic. The Sections I, II, III, and IV list respectively 23 articles, 44 abstracts, 3 books, and 11 reviews. Section I starts with two watershed articles published in 1972: the Philosophy & Phenomenological Research article—from Corcoran’s Philadelphia period that antedates his discovery of Aristotle’s natural deduction system—and the Journal of Symbolic Logic article—from his Buffalo period first reporting his original results. It ends with works published in 2015. Some items are annotated as listed or with endnotes connecting them with other work and pointing out passages that, in retrospect, are seen to be misleading and in a few places erroneous. In addition, Section V, “Discussions”, is a nearly complete secondary bibliography of works describing, interpreting, extending, improving, supporting, and criticizing Corcoran’s work: 10 items published in the 1970s, 24 in the 1980s, 42 in the 1990s, 60 in the 2000s, and 70 in the current decade. The secondary bibliography is also annotated as listed or with endnotes: some simply quoting from the cited item, but several answering criticisms and identifying errors. Section VI, “Alternatives”, lists recent works on Aristotle’s logic oblivious of Corcoran’s research and, more generally in some cases, even of the Łukasiewicz-initiated tradition. As is evident from Section VII, “Acknowledgements”, Corcoran’s publications benefited from consultation with other scholars, most notably George Boger, Charles Kahn, John Mulhern, Mary Mulhern, Anthony Preus, Timothy Smiley, Michael Scanlan, Roberto Torretti, and Kevin Tracy. All of Corcoran’s Greek translations were done in collaboration with two or more classicists. Corcoran never published a sentence without discussing it with his colleagues and students
The Contemporary Relevance of Ancient Logical Theory
No full textThis interesting and imaginative monograph is based on the author’s PhD dissertation supervised by Saul Kripke. It is dedicated to Timothy Smiley, whose interpretation of PRIOR ANALYTICS informs its approach. As suggested by its title, this short work demonstrates conclusively that Aristotle’s syllogistic is a suitable vehicle for fruitful discussion of contemporary issues in logical theory. Aristotle’s syllogistic is represented by Corcoran’s 1972 reconstruction. The review studies Lear’s treatment of Aristotle’s logic, his appreciation of the Corcoran-Smiley paradigm, and his understanding of modern logical theory. In the process Corcoran and Scanlan present new, previously unpublished results. Corcoran regards this review as an important contribution to contemporary study of PRIOR ANALYTICS: both the book and the review deserve to be better known
Dialoging citizenship in Queensland: the ability to engage or estrange
No full textThis paper considers several discursive processes involved in an example of citizen–government dialogue. The relationship enacted occurs daily in each of our communities andhere involves samples of Queensland legislative practice, representing the government’sposition, and excerpts from interviews undertaken with young males who have experiencedeither formal school exclusion or first-time incarceration. Constructions of identity, central tothe concept of citizenship, are explored through two prominent discourses signalled in theexchange: individualism and moral/behavioural. These dialogue-based relationships offerdescriptive insight into processes through which marginalisation occur yet they also disclosevaluable options for sustaining ongoing conversation. As institutions of the twenty-first centuryreposition to embrace a more participatory operational charter it is suggested that practices of sanctioned exclusion will exemplify a state’s governance ethos. In this case, the business of exclusion will remain evidence enough as to the ability of government to engage or estrange members of their community. --Conference held Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Brisbane, Queensland, 14-17 August, 2005.

A Novel Statistical Approach to Simplify NMR Spectra
No full textThe use of NMR in various fields of chemistry has been well established because it is quantitative, provides structural information, and is non-destructive. However, the spectral complexity increases significantly when there are multiple analytes present, causing peak overlap and complicating analyte differentiation. This issue is especially prominent fields such as biology and organic chemistry due to the intricacy of biological samples. Therefore, an efficient and accurate method to reduce the spectral complexity of an otherwise complicated mixture will allow for better signal to noise ratio, resulting in minimal crosstalk between analytes with overlapped spectra. In response, we are working to incorporate the Walsh-Hadamard filter functions on processed spectra to reduce the spectral complexity that allows for both rapid analyte identification and accurate quantitation. Using the freely available R Project, a code will be generated based on work carried out by T. Corcoran (Applied Spectroscopy, 2018) to assess the Walsh functions effect on deconvolution for samples with highly overlapped spectra

Timothy Meyer serves as a contributing author for UN report
No full textAssistant Professor Timothy Meyer served as a contributing author for the United Nations Industrial Development Organization\u27s report titled Networks for Prosperity: Connecting Development Knowledge Beyond 2015. The document, which was released during November, analyzes the nexus between the global connectedness of a country and its economic success, sustainability and government effectiveness. Meyer was one of only approximately 20 academic and practical experts from around the world selected to serve as a contributor after a global call for proposals.
