The Eschatological Hope Scale: Construct Development and Measurement of Theistic Eschatological Hope
No full textThis study aimed to expand psychological research on hope by contributing a construct and scale to measure central dimensions of theistic eschatological hope derived from Christian scriptures. Eschatological hope was conceptualized as the anticipation that God will make all things new, raising people to everlasting life with God in joyful celebration, including people from every culture and nation, ending all personal pain and suffering, eliminating all societal evil and harm, and bringing reconciliation and healing to all of creation. We developed the Eschatological Hope Scale with three studies (N = 1,466). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the single-factor structure of a 6-item scale with excellent internal consistency (Cronbach\u27s α \u3e .91) and good test-retest reliability. The Eschatological Hope Scale evidenced construct validity, showing significant non-redundant correlations with measures of temporal hope, religiosity, and spirituality. The Eschatological Hope Scale scores positively correlated with gratitude, forgivingness, and life hardship patience. Scores inversely correlated with depressed and anxious symptoms, negative religious coping, and negative attitudes toward God. Scores were not significantly correlated with extrinsic religiosity and searching for meaning. The Eschatological Hope Scale demonstrated incremental validity beyond other variables (hope and optimism, depression and anxiety, and religiosity) to predict three target variables: perceived presence of meaning in life, ultimate meaning, and flourishing. We offer the Eschatological Hope Scale as a gateway scale to catalyze further developments in measuring eschatological hope. We hope this work will facilitate research on the experience of living with ultimate hope across cultures and faith traditions, in seasons of suffering and celebration

Episode 35: Alexis Castellanos, Author of “Isla to Island”, and Her Panel Presentation during the Operación Pedro Pan Two-Day Event
No full textIn Part 1 of “Operación Pedro Pan: The Voices and Stories of Cuba’s Child Exodus—A Knights HistoryCast Mini-Series,” the Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Alexis Castellanos, an author, illustrator, graphic novelist, and a panelist at the esteemed, conspicuous, and powerful “Operación Pedro Pan: Honoring the Cultural, Historical Legacy of Cuba’s Child Exodus” Two-Day Program that Florida Humanities, UCF’s Department of English and Department of Modern Languages and Literatures sponsored (see https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/ for more details on sponsors and the program in general).
Sebastian structured this specific episode on Alexis Castellanos’ Isla to Island, a wordless graphic novel grounded by her personal family history and the history of Operación Pedro Pan (Operation Peter Pan). By analyzing such a historic event through the medium of fiction, Sebastian argued that this is one of the most unique Knights HistoryCast episodes of all time. Naturally, their conversation expanded to what she talked about during her panel presentation in Panel One, Day 1 of the event that featured “internationally renowned scholars that discussed the political, historical, and cultural legacy of Operación Pedro Pan (1960-1962).” (https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/)

THE MYSTIC ROAD : SELECTED POEMS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
No full text
Alexis karpouzos (born on April 09, 1967) is a philosopher, author, spiritual master and pioneer of higher consciousness. He is author of several books on philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality, modern science. His most famous books are: ‘’Universal consciousness’’, ‘’non-duality’’, ‘’An ocean of souls’’, ‘’Beyond the heaven’’. Alexis Karpouzos is also a recording artist. He has recorded two music albums and twenty-four singles songs. He has also appeared in two documentary films, television and radio productions. He is the pioneer of the post-ontology consciousness and the wisdom of universal wholeness. The global language of poetry of Alexis Karpouzos, by following the paths of wisdom, is a vehicle for transmitting human knowledge and values, history, ancient traditions, and links with nature. It transmits the human values and worldly knowledge that are essential for opening ourselves to the Other. Poetic creation, therefore, forges very strong links between humans -it transcends beyond languages, beliefs and cultures. Each poem appears in its original form, in a vibrant celebration of life, diversity, language, and the enduring power of poetry. At a time when the Humanities are under threat, this book offers a defense of poetry within the context of growing interest in mindfulness in spirituality, in consciousness, in art, in education.</p
Agrégation anglais 2022. Alexis Wright, "Carpentaria"
No full textTraduit en plusieurs langues, étudié par de nombreux chercheurs, reconnu pour sa qualité exceptionnelle par le Miles Franklin Award en 2007, roman de résistance et de résilience aborigène, Carpentaria narre et questionne avec intelligence, profondeur, ironie, sensibilité et humour les innombrables tensions politiques et éthiques qui émeuvent les peuples autochtones d’Australie depuis l’invasion des colons britanniques. Poétique, burlesque et onirique, l’histoire épique écrite par l’autrice waanyi Alexis Wright est insufflée d’une voix narrative espiègle qui recrée et s’inspire de l’oralité aborigène autochtone et propulse le lecteur dans un voyage à travers le temps et l’espace, au nord de l’Australie, dans le golfe de Carpentarie, dans la petite ville fictionnelle de Desperance. Entre sécheresse, cyclones et inondations, guerre de la décharge, maire meurtrier, école assimilatrice et mine internationale, les clans rivaux des Midnight et des Phantom survivent et résistent auprès du serpent ancestral qui vit sous leurs pieds. La génération activiste autochtone représentée par Will Phantom et les mécaniciens du bush présidés par Mozzie Fishman ne veut cependant pas que survivre : elle refuse le statu quo et ne supporte plus que leurs terres ancestrales soient blessées et spoliées. Au cours du roman, Elias Smith, un allié blanc, est assassiné ; Will s’attire la foudre de la compagnie minière avoisinante et de son père à cause de son union avec Hope, du clan des Midnight ; le chaos règne jusqu’à ce qu’un feu soit déclenché...
Carpentaria est le premier roman aborigène à figurer au tronc commun de littérature à l’agrégation d’anglais. L’esthétique de ce roman polyphonique magistral de 500 pages emporte, bouleverse et élève ; elle requiert aussi curiosité, humilité, patience et concentration. Comprendre son contenu politique nécessite une connaissance de l’histoire coloniale australienne. Cet ouvrage collectif de préparation au concours et de référence sur l’œuvre contient les outils et références historiques, politiques, linguistiques, anthropologiques et littéraires indispensables à sa compréhension et son analyse. Il s’ouvre sur quelques mots d’Alexis Wright et un poème hommage de l’écrivaine tahitienne autochtone Chantal T. Spitz, puis comprend 17 chapitres de 20 contributeurs français et internationaux qui jettent un éclairage nouveau sur un chef-d’œuvre du vingt-et-unième siècle
Continuing the Conversation: From Conference Presentation to Publication
No full textBecause we recognize that many students in graduate and undergraduate courses focused on writing center theory and practice are offered advice and encouragement on how to repurpose class assignments into conference presentations or to represent the results of research conducted during writing center sessions into posters but are likely to find few articles that “offer practical wisdom on how to achieve this essential goal” (Murphy 5), we offer our narratives in an attempt to fill that void. Our narratives describe two common approaches to moving research from a conference presentation to a published article: Alexis began with a brief conference paper, whereas Lindsay had an article in progress prior to presenting her argument and analysis at a conference. By offering readers a glimpse into our motivations for presenting conference papers and sharing how we went about revising our arguments after the conferences, we hope to provide insight into processes for transitioning a conference presentation into a published article and to offer strategies about how to extend scholarly conversations that begin at a conference into scholarly publications in academic journals.Published articl
