Cutting'aesthetic teeth' : Flannery O'Connor's habit of art
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoEste trabalho foi sugerido pela afirmação de Flannery O'Connor que sua "dedicação estética" nasceu através do contato com Art and Scholasticism de Jacques Maritain. O propósito foi chegar a uma interpretação do sentido da frase. Uma investigação detalhada foi feita do conteúdo de Art and Scholasticism, posteriormente contrastada com os resultados de uma pesquisa feita em seus ensaios e suas cartas, o que revelou numerosos ecos de diversos trechos constando no texto de Maritain. Três pontos principais foram escolhidos como critérios na análise do hábito artístico de O'Connor: 1) a prática de arte implica uma luta; 2) a arte somente pode ser percebida pelos sentidos; e 3) a prática de arte exige do artista a dedicação indivisa à obra nascente. O estudo conclui que, para O'Connor, o brotar da dentição estética, através da leitura de Art and Scholasticism, significou que, ao perceber na análise da natureza da arte algo com que podia concordar, ela reconheceu tanto sua própria capacidade de tornar-se uma artista literária, quanto sua vontade de assumir a tarefa de desenvolver em sua pessoa o hábito de arte

The modernity of nations. A tribute to Walker Connor
No full textTo fully appreciate Walker Connor's contribution to the foundation of the contemporary study of nationalism, two main factors must be taken into account. First, the context of positivist behavioural political science within which in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, he articulated his critique of the concept of nation-building. In this context, Connor emerged as a critic of the limitations and the naivité of positivist modernization theory. His dissenting voice called for critical rethinking and revision of the central concepts of the theory of political development, some of which enjoyed almost doctrinal status. Second, despite his criticism of modernization theory, Connor retained a strong conviction that nations and national sentiment were the products of modernity; indeed, in his judgement, they formed the primary content of modernity. This too was a critical stance within the rising tide of nationalism studies since 1989–1990, when ideology and wishful thinking influenced to a considerable extent the interpretation of nationalism. Walker Connor's intellectual legacy should thus be understood as a heritage of critical thought that is informed by a noteworthy awareness of the moral responsibilities of scholarly analysis. © The author(s) 2018.

Examining the role of followers' leader behavior expectations on evaluations of men and women leaders
No full textDescriptive and prescriptive gender stereotypes research suggests that men are expected to engage in more agentic behaviors and women in more communal behavior as leaders. However, gender and leadership research has not explicitly measured expectations of men and women leaders nor considered how followers evaluate leaders who fail to fulfill or exceed expectations for agentic and communal behaviors. This vignette study sought to accomplish both by measuring follower expectations for a communal and an agentic leader behavior, manipulating these behaviors, and measuring follower perceptions and evaluations to investigate whether congruence between followers' expectations and supervisors' subsequent behavior produces similar evaluations of men and women leaders. Results indicate followers expected higher levels of communal behavior from the female than the male supervisor, but no differences were found in expectations for agentic behavior, suggesting a double standard in gender role-congruent behavior expectations. Regardless of whether expectations were exceeded or unmet, supervisor gender did not moderate effects of agentic or communal behavior expectations-perceptions incongruence on evaluations of effectiveness or liking in polynomial regression analyses. Implications and future research directions are discussed.Thesis (M.A.)--Michigan State University. Psychology, 2021Includes bibliographical references (pages 75-84
