Mikami-Weinstein Type Theorem for Cosymplectic Groupoid Actions
No full textThe Mikami-Weinstein theorem is a generalization of the classical Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer symplectic reduction theorem to the case of symplectic groupoid actions. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a cosymplectic groupoid action on a cosymplectic manifold and prove a theorem that is a natural analogue of the Mikami-Weinstein theorem.The author is grateful to R. Goto for his encouragement. The author also thanks N. Ikeda for useful conversations. He greatly appreciates the suggestions of the anonymous referees, which considerably improved the presentation.

The Courtroom as Classroom: Independence, Imagination and Ideology in the Work of Jack Weinstein
No full textThis Article explores influences that have shaped Judge Weinstein\u27s judicial behavior. The author argues that Weinstein\u27s conception of the judicial role has been influenced in significant respects by his career as a law professor. Tracing continuities and discontinuities between the roles of a professor and a trial judge, the author concludes that Judge Weinstein manifests both the desire for intellectual autonomy and the consequent lack of regard for institutional accountability that are characteristic of the former role. The Article then seeks to evaluate the judge-centered approach to judicial independence it imputes to Judge Weinstein. The author contends that the desire to give free reign to his extraordinary intelligence and creativity plays a part in judge Weinstein\u27s pursuit or creation of the extraordinary in preference to the ordinary- litigations rather than cases-an interpretation that helps to explain certain inconsistencies in his judicial work. The author also considers the possibility that ideology plays a part in judge Weinstein\u27s approach to his role as a federal judge. He arg·ues that there are three interrelated ideas that exercise a consistent(v powerful influence on Weinstein\u27s judicial behavior and that may be thought ideological: access, communication and empathy. He concludes that the dichotomy between independence and ideology in judge Weinstein\u27s work may be false, because independence of a type-ethical individualism-is his overriding ideology. Although focusing on the work of judge Weinstein, the Article suggests some general conclusions about independence and accountability in a trial judge, about judicial imagination, and about ideology

Identidade, branquitude e modernidade na obra de Barbara Weinstein
No full textBarbara Weinstein, in A cor da modernidade: a branquitude e a formação da identidade paulista, discusses historical processes through which an imagined identity of São Paulo was formed. In doing so, Weinstein underscores two major events: the 1932 Rebellion, often alluded to as a “revolution” in the local historiography, as well as the celebrations of the city’s 400th anniversary. The book dialogues with major Brazilian works, both in terms of the historiography of the state, as well as other region-crafting cases. The author highlights the relevance of European immigration-based imaginaries, which sought to differentiate the state from “less developed” areas of Brazil and from neighboring Rio de Janeiro. Going back to revisionist perspectives that reshaped the Bandeirantes not as exploiters of people and the hinterland, but rather as avid settlers who would’ve made longlasting contributions to the state, Weinstein traces back these imaginaries to periods that preceded the capital’s consolidation as the country’s economic powerhouse. As one would expect from a rigorous historical work, Weinstein also underscores difficult and intriguing themes such as the participation of Black soliders in the 1932 events, as well as the role of women at the time. Barbara Weinstein, em A cor da modernidade: a branquitude e a formação da identidade paulista, discute processos históricos pelos quais foi imaginada e formada a identidade paulista. Ao fazê-lo, Weinstein destaca dois grandes eventos: a Rebelião de 1932, muitas vezes aludida como uma “revolução” na historiografia local, bem como as comemorações dos 400 anos da capital paulista. O livro dialoga com grandes obras brasileiras, tanto em termos de historiografia do estado, quanto em termos de estudos sobre a formação de regiões. A autora destaca a relevância de imaginários baseados na imigração europeia, que buscavam diferenciar o estado das áreas “menos desenvolvidas” do Brasil e do vizinho Rio de Janeiro. Weinstein ilumina perspectivas revisionistas que reformularam os bandeirantes não como exploradores do povo e do interior, mas como ávidos colonos que teriam feito contribuições duradouras ao Estado, remontando tais imaginários a períodos que antecederam a consolidação da capital como centro econômico do país. Como seria de esperar de um trabalho histórico rigoroso, Weinstein também ressalta temas difíceis e intrigantes, como a participação de soldados negros nos eventos de 1932, bem como o papel das mulheres nos eventos da época.

Feel These Words: Writing in the Lives of Urban Youth
No full textFeel These Words is the story of nine young people from Chicago--Jig, Crazy, TeTe, Mekanism, Robbie, Marta, Patricia, Jose, and Dave--who regularly write poetry and/or song lyrics, but not for school. The Writers, as author Susan Weinstein calls them, are skilled in a variety of literacy-centered discourses through which they develop sophisticated understandings of core rhetorical issues and explore concepts of identity, social positioning, gender roles, and sexuality. Despite a deep engagement with imaginative composition, their work regularly goes unrecognized or is devalued due to the normative trends in standardized curricula and testing. Weinstein argues that this devaluation exists because their writing is informed by discourses that use language, forms, and styles different from--and at times at odds with--the mainstream. She explores the ways in which educators can focus not simply on what they believe kids need to be taught, but also on what makes them want to learn.https://repository.lsu.edu/facultybooks/1385/thumbnail.jp
UND Professor Weinstein to participate in discussion on Adam Smith, father of modern capitalism, in Norway
No full textDr. Jack Weinstein, professor of philosophy and director of the Institute for Philosophy in Public Life at the University of North Dakota, will present a research paper and participate in discussions at the Centre for the Study of Mind in Nature’s (CSMN) “Adam Smith and Virtue” Workshop at the University of Oslo, Norway on Aug. 27-28.
The CSMN is a “Norwegian Centre of Excellence” funded in part by the Research Council of Norway and hosted by the Department of Philosophy, Classics, and History of Art and Ideas at the University of Oslo. Weinstein is one of eight workshop scholar participants representing the U.S., Norway, France and Australia.
“The conference is about trying to figure out what virtue means to Smith,” explains Weinstein. “This means that it is focused on trying to figure out what it means to be a good or moral person in a free-market world.”
Adam Smith is the father of modern capitalism and the author of The Wealth of Nations, one of the most influential books in history. The conference is a place in which scholars can present works in progress and get feedback so they can improve their research.
Weinstein will be opposing the idea of “spontaneous virtues.” He will be rejecting the idea that morality is an automatic response. He argues instead that it is a product of careful deliberation.
“I am using Adam Smith’s writing to explore these questions both to interpret him correctly (he was an 18th century philosopher) and to show how he is still relevant to the contemporary world,” says Weinstein.

Introduction
No full textHarriet Beecher Stowe's most famous introduction took place on or around Thanksgiving Day, 1862, when she was introduced to President Abraham Lincoln, who allegedly greeted her with these memorable words, “So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war! ” Even if we grant Lincoln's statement its obvious degree of ironic intention, he, nevertheless, makes quite a claim for the impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin on American history. One glance at virtually any of Lincoln's speeches reveals that he, like Stowe, believed that the power of words could alter the minds and hearts of individuals. Stowe's faith in the transforming capacity of language makes a great deal of sense, given that she came from a distinguished family of ministers and social activists - in an 1851 letter to Frederick Douglass, she writes, “I am a ministers daughter - a ministers wife & I have had six brothers in the ministry . . . & I certainly ought to know something of the feelings of ministers.” Stowe here refers to her father, Lyman Beecher, President of Lane Seminary, her husband, Calvin Stowe, who served at various times as Professor at Lane Seminary, Professor of the Chair of Sacred Literature at Andover Theological Seminary and Professor at Bowdoin College, and her brothers, the most famous of whom was Henry Ward Beecher, head of the prestigious Congregationalist Plymouth Church in Brooklyn and anti-slavery activist. This list, it should be noted, doesn’t even mention her influential sisters, Catharine Beecher, founder of the Hartford Female Seminary and author of many tracts, including A Treatise on Domestic Economy, and Isabelle Beecher Hooker, whose close ties to Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony made Isabelle an important figure in the campaign for women’s rights. To what extent Stowe’s own words of ministration and protest catapulted the nation toward Civil War is an unanswerable question, but clearly Stowe wanted her novel to bring about great social change and Lincoln thought she had succeeded
