Jeff Thomas: Working Histories
No full textEssay in a catalogue of an exhibition held at Gallery 44, Toronto, May 6-June 5, 2004. Exhibition description: Frustrated in his search for archival testimonies of aboriginal experience, Thomas turned to historic studies produced by white photographer Curtis and ethnographer Knowles as sources for discoursing with history. A Study of Indian-ness is based upon fictive conversations between the artist and these historic persons.reviewessayfinal article publishe

The Anthropology of Thomas Keating
No full textDzisiejszy człowiek, zanurzony w materialistycznym świecie, oddalił się od Boga i świata duchowego. Thomas Keating starał się przywrócić tę sferę, propagując formę modlitwy ciszy Centering Prayer. W swoich dziełach opisuje, jak ta modlitwa wpływa na całościowy rozwój człowieka. Autorka niniejszego opracowania próbuje odtworzyć wizję człowieka, jaką Keating zawarł w swoich pracach w nadziei, że przyczyni się to do powstania lepszego modelu antropologii.The materialism of today’s world is causing people to lose contact with God and with their own spirituality. Thomas Keating tried to bring this part of the human experience back by promoting a form of meditative prayer called Centering Prayer. In his books he describes how this prayer influences integral human development. The author tries to discover Keating’s vision of the human person, in hope of assisting in the creation of a better anthropological model
Thomas Hobbes’ Conception of Imagination
No full textThe article deals with Thomas Hobbes’ conception of imagination. Hobbes was aware of Greek and Latin origins of the term. According to him, imagination is nothing but a decaying sense. While reconstructing the draft of Hobbes’ theory of imagination, the author of the article describes the activity of mind as motion caused by bodies, and states that imagination can overcome the bounds of senses and memory. On the one hand, imagination is limited toexperience (in its reproductive function), but on the other, it can create newideas, conceptions or trains of thoughts (in its productive function)[email protected]; [email protected]ższa Szkoła Gospodarki w Bydgoszczy, Instytut Kulturoznawstwa, Zakład Filozofii i Teorii Kultury24193
Thomas Clarkson Papers
No full textThomas Clarkson (b. 1760 d. 1846) was a renowned English abolitionist who spent his adult life fighting to end slavery. As a leader in the British anti-slavery society, Clarkson was instrumental in getting the English Parliament to ban the slave trade in 1807 and to abolish the institution of slaver in 1833. The majority of this small collection is comprised of correspondence from Thomas Clarkson and his wife, Catherine, to her father, William Buck. Notable writings by Clarkson include the original essay An Liceat Nolentes In Servitutom Dare? [Is It Lawful to Make Slaves of Others Against Their Will?]. This essay, written in Latin, won the Chancellor's Prize at Cambridge College, England in 1785 and served as the basis for the expanded work, Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species, Particularly The African published in 1786.

Modification of nektonic fish distribution by piers and pile fields in an urban estuary
No full textLarge urban piers degrade habitat value for several estuarine benthic fish species by shading, but their effects on mobile nektonic species is less well understood due to sampling challenges. Dual Frequency Identification Sonar (DIDSON) allowed equal access to sampling in the water column of structured shaded and unshaded vs. open environments in both dark and light conditions by methods similar to video but without light. Sampling (n = 228, 5-minute transects) occurred under and around four large municipal piers of varying dimensions in the Hudson River estuary during day and night from summer and fall in 2007 - 2009. The distribution of small (5 - 25 cm in length) and large (25 – 850 cm) fishes were analyzed separately in recognition of functional guild differences. Small fishes occupied open water, shaded under-pier, and un-decked relict piling habitats, but were significantly more abundant during the day in open unshaded water than under adjacent piers or in piling habitats.. Small fish occurred under 3 of 4 piers of varying size and configuration at 10 - 20% of the median abundances of adjacent open water. However, while schools were rare under piers they could be very large, so that abundance greatly exceeded mean open water abundance variance so as to preclude confidence in differences among piers. The differences among habitats was not significant at night, and the difference among piers was also not significant at night. School membership for small fish appeared to mitigate adverse effects of shading and may influence scaling of their response to shading and could therefore influence pier design. Large (>25 cm) predatory fish were uncommon but responded similarly to habitat effects as did small fish. Habitats did not segregate fish by guild as small forage fish co-occurred in 65.8% of samples with large piscivores. Studies that provide species-specific and mechanistic interpretation of dynamic habitat use as well as further quantification of scaling effects could improve our understanding of how fishes respond to piers and other structures on urban shorelines.Peer reviewed
