«Философия Терезы» и критика рационального эгоизма в творчестве Достоевского
No full textThis article examines a curious yet significant episode in the culminating phase of F. M. Dostoevsky’s creativity. In his extended sketch for a project known as “The Life of a Great Sinner” (“Zhitie velikogo greshnika”) he refers a number of times to a certain Thérèse philosophe, a character drawn from a 18th-century French conte philosophique entitled “Thérèse philosophe, ou Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire du Père Dirrag et de Mademoiselle Éradice”.Although “Thérèse philosophe” was first published anonymously in 1749, the article demonstrates that the author was Jean Baptiste de Boyer, Marquis d’Argens (1703–1771), a prolific author who took an active part in the philosophical debates of his day, corresponded with Voltaire, and in 1742 entered the service of Frederick II, where he remained for the next twenty-six years as a director of the Prussian Academy.The first part of the article is devoted to a detailed exposition and analysis of “Thérèse philosophe”, which although widely known at the time in the century following its original publication, was subsequently overlooked and difficult to access. Through the exposition it becomes evident that “Thérèse philosophe” propounds ideas of rational egotism (particularly in relations between men and women) that were current during the French Enlightenment.The second part of article examines Dostoevsky’s determined response to that moralité in his late novels. The article suggests that an apparently frivolous work of French literature that would have been read by Dostoevsky in his youth retained enduring meaning for the writer as a paradigm for views on life that he profoundly contested.First published in Comparative Literature (Brumfield, 1980). Some minor corrections were made.В статье рассматривается любопытный эпизод, характерный для периода наибольшего творческого расцвета Ф. М. Достоевского. В набросках к неосуществленному проекту, известному под названием «Житие великого грешника», писатель несколько раз упоминает «Терезу-философа» — персонажа французской философской повести (conte philosophique) XVIII века «Философия Терезы, или мемуары к истории отца Диррага и мадемуазель Эрадис» (“Thérèse philosophe, ou Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire du Père Dirrag et de Mademoiselle Éradice”).«Философия Терезы» вышла в свет анонимно в 1749 году. В статье доказывается, что ее автором был Жан-Батист де Буайе, маркиз д’Аржан (1703–1771), плодовитый автор, участник философских дискуссий своего времени, состоявший в переписке с Вольтером. В 1742 году д’Аржан поступил на службу к Фридриху II, и последующие 26 лет возглавлял Академию наук Пруссии.Первая часть статьи посвящена детальному анализу «Философии Терезы». Хотя эта книга была широко известна в первые сто лет после ее публикации, затем она была забыта и стала библиографической редкостью. Анализ показывает, что в «Философии Терезы» высказываются идеи «разумного эгоизма» (особенно в отношениях между мужчиной и женщиной), популярные в период Просвещения во Франции.Вторая часть статьи посвящена решительному ответу такой морали, который Достоевский дает в своих поздних романах. Автор статьи предполагает, что фривольный французский роман, вероятно, известный Достоевскому с юности, сохранял для него значение как образец такого взгляда на жизнь, с которым русский писатель был глубоко не согласен

Multicultural music education in U.S. centric international elementary schools: An investigation of world music representation within teacher repertoire selections
No full textThe purpose of this descriptive study was to ascertain the trends in multicultural music selections of music educators (N = 39) who taught elementary students (Nursery- 6th grade) at international schools located outside the U.S. that included curricula that was influenced by U.S. curricula. This study was designed to collect baseline data that could be used to inform future studies involving multicultural music education. Research questions were presented in a survey format and concentrated on the elementary multicultural music education practices of music teachers in selected international schools located outside of the U.S. Data were coded for themes and validation was established via intercoder agreement (Creswell, 2013) as data were coded by two colleagues to confirm agreement within coding developed by the researcher. Data concluded that while participants and participants’ schools faced vastly differing circumstances and challenges, some emergent themes arose. Participants often articulated the desire to teach within a multicultural environment and advocated for multicultural music education. The majority of participants implemented multicultural lessons within all grade levels. Participants’ repertoire selection practices were found to predominately be influenced by personal preference, performance components, music literacy and aesthetic value, among other factors. Various challenges of identifying participants’ demographics, particularly of the concepts of race and ethnicity arose. Additionally, further implications for future research were discussed. Ultimately, this study contributed to knowledge within music education by providing a snapshot in time of the self-reported practices of music educators who taught elementary music at international schools located outside of the US
VIBRATIONAL COOLING OF LARGE MOLECULES IN SUPERSONIC EXPANSIONS: THE CASE OF C AND PYRENE
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801; Departments of Chemistry and Astronomy, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801.Brian E. Brumfield present address: Department of Electrical Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, Nj 08544Supersonic expansions are a useful tool for cooling molecules in the gas phase. While translational and rotational degrees of freedom can generally be cooled to low temperatures (<30 K) using this technique, there has been conflicting evidence concerning the cooling of vibrational degrees of freedom. This cooling is particularly important for gas-phase absorption spectroscopy of large molecules with many vibrational degrees of freedom, such as buckminsterfullerene (C). We have attempted gas-phase infrared spectroscopy of C by producing C vapor in a hot (900 K) oven and seeding the vapor in an argon supersonic expansion, but have been unable to observe any absorption signal. We attribute this to insufficient cooling of vibrational degrees of freedom in the expansion. In contrast, we have performed a similar experiment with pyrene (CH) heated to 430 K, which yielded rotationally-resolved spectra and an estimated vibrational temperature of 25-90 K. We will discuss these results and possible methods to obtain gas-phase absorption spectra of C
