The sense of a beginning : Bakhtinian dialogic criticism on 'the gospel' in Mark.
No full textContemporary literary approaches have caused paradigm shifts in Biblical Studies in the last two decades as it appears in a great deal of Markan studies using narrative, reader-response, deconstructive, feminist, and new historicist approaches. However, literary studies on the Gospel of Mark have not taken into account theoretical questions underlying those approaches. As a result biblical critics are driven by new trends without ever having a chance to examine the critical baggage of the approaches. Consequently, there is a gap of communication between the old and the new one. Therefore this thesis is an attempt to meet the need of enhancing the quality of critical endeavour in biblical studies. In the light of most recent competing critical theories of literature, the first contribution of this thesis is the methodological finding that Bakhtinian dialogic criticism contains the most profound philosophical and practical foundations for solving some crucial theoretical problems in contemporary literary theories. It is a critique to a Saussurian linguistic system of language which becomes the very foundation of modern and postmodern literary criticism. Bakhtinian literary theory shifts the foundation of literary criticism on linguistic signs into the creative activity of the socio-cultural production of human communication. The shift into socio-cultural reality of language communication makes the notion of 'genre' very important to unlock the problem of text and context in literary studies. Since the Gospel of Mark has fascinated most literary critics in Biblical Studies, the problem of 'genre' of this gospel is chosen as the focus of this study. Secondly, as no agreement is reached as to what 'genre' the Gospel of Mark belongs, this thesis makes its contribution to the discussion by locating the problem of 'genre' of Mark in the context of genre theories and argues that the Bakhtinian suggestion to find genre in the socio-cultural sphere by analysing artistic intercourse between narrative agents in Mark has freed the competing analysis from the unresolved problem between the kerygmatic (content oriented) approach and the analogical (form oriented) approach. To achieve finding 'genre' in the socio-cultural sphere, this thesis focuses on Bakhtinian analysis of the process of artistic intercourse between narrative agents. The narrative communicative interrelationships between narrative agents is constructed in this thesis as a 'stereophonic' Bakhtinian model of dialogic communication. This model is an original contribution of this thesis for revising the traditional two dimensional model of narrative communication. Based on this dialogical model of communication, a special role is given to the Bakhtinian 'author-creator' in the realization process of genre through the interaction of polyphonic voices. Through the interaction of voices of the author-artist and the hero we are led to discover a relatively stable type of portraying and controlling reality in Mark, known as the genre of Roman 'satire'. The closest literary affinity is Satyrica by Petronius. This narrative strategy of 'satire' in Mark has its root in the prophetic discourse of the Old Testament which is saturating the speech of the narrator, John the Immerser, the centurion, the people, and even Jesus. Finally, the whole search for Markan 'genre' culminates in the analysis of the realization of genre through the analysis of Bakhtinian chronotope. The reality of the genre of Mark is its social reality that is in its role as dpxrj/ 'beginning'. As the Gospel of Mark proclaims itself as 'a beginning', it defines its claim of socio-cultural 'authority' in early Christianity. It is this 'sense of beginning' which enables the narrating and the narrated world of Mark to interact dialogically

Julia Bryan-Wilson introduced the book’s focus of both fine art and amateur registers of hand making in art since 1970, unveiling insights into how textiles inhabit the broad space between artistic and political poles—high and low, untrained and highly skilled, conformist and disobedient, craft and art. After Bryan-Wilson’s introductory talk Reckitt joined her in conversation, with a moderated Q&A with the audience following

Abstract
Sharon Bryan Reads "Breaking and Entering" from "Objects of Affection" (0:35). Stan Saville Rubin interviews Sharon Bryan. Bryan was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and educated at the University of Utah where she studied philosophy, Cornell University where she received an MA in anthropology, and The University of Iowa Writers Workshop where she earned her MFA. She's the author of two collections of poetry, "Salt Air" published in 1983, and "Objects of Affection" published in 1987 by Wesleyan University Press. She has received awards including The Academy of American Poets Prize, the Discovery the Nation Award, and the Governor's Award from the State of Washington, and has held NEA fellowships. At the time of filming Bryan is a Professor of English at the Memphis State University and editor of the literary magazine River City. Stan opens the conversation with an invitation to discuss the origin and nature of the opening poem. Bryan outlines the story and the influences that aided her creation of the poem. Expanding further into the content of "Objects of Affection", they discuss the heavy handed artistic and literary influences that are found in a number of the collected poems. Bryan talks about why the unaddressed epitaph is at the beginning of "Objects of Affection" and what informed her decision to put it there. Stan asks her about the careful organization of the collection but Bryan reveals that the organization wasn't as deeply considered as it appears. They talk about the style of her poems and how she tends not to use prose. Stan moves the conversation to "Salt Air" which was written 6 years after leaving Iowa. Bryan talks about how so much of her life was leaving behind Salt Lake. Bryan reads "Viewing the Body" "from Salt Air" (16:08). Bryan speaks on when she first knew she wanted to write and how she meandered through her education because, as far as she was aware, creative writing as an occupation wasn't available until she had arrived at Cornell and then why she chose to go to the Iowa Writers Workshop. Stan asks Bryan to speak at length about her role as Editor of the River City literary magazine and how she looks at poetry through that editor's lens. They discuss the social significance of poetry and address critiques about poetry's place for speaking on difficult issues of the time. Bryan talks about the major influences on her writing and her push to publish her poetry for public consumption and how she found out her first collection was going to be printed. Bryan reads "Theory" from her upcoming collection of poems "Flying Blind: Poems" (38:27) and "Trimmings" also from "Flying Blind: Poems" (39:47).Archived web conten
Byrd Polar "Penguins": A STEM Engagement Opportunity for Youth
No full textIMPACT. 1: Penguin team members have connected with Bryan and Alfonso's research during their 2013-14 project solution for the "Nature's Fury" theme. They studied glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and interviewed international scientists and engineers around the world via Skype. They connected with communities in Nepal and Peru where Bryan has conducted field work. -- 2. This second year, the team won the Strategy and Innovation award at the Newark local tournament December 7th and were then selected as Ambassadors at the Dublin Regional tournament January 11th. Ambassadors promote FIRST and engage more youth in FLL. This honor also gave the Penguins an invitation to compete in the Ohio State Championship tournament in Dayton on February 8th and 9th. -- 3. The Penguins have designed a specific outreach plan to invite more Columbus City School youth to participate in FLL. They have already visited Columbus City Schools (Cranbrook Elementary and Ridgeview Middle Schools) to present their research on GLOFs. They have also partnered with a teacher, Mrs. Harris at Cranbrook Elementary School, who has received grant money to support expansion of the FLL program in the district. Next season, Mrs. Harris has welcomed the Penguins to mentor a new FLL team at Cranbrook.OSU PARTNERS: Byrd Polar Research CenterCOMMUNITY PARTNERS: Columbus City Schools; Dublin City Schools; Hilliard City SchoolsPRIMARY CONTACT: Bryan Mark ([email protected])The Byrd Polar "Penguins" FIRST Lego League (FLL) team is a partnership between two BPRC researchers, Dr. Bryan Mark and graduate student Alfonso Fernandez, and families to provide a STEM enrichment opportunity outside the classroom.
