Reflecting on the role of emotions in the PhD process
No full textThis research project examined the role of emotions in the PhD process through an exploratory, qualitative, self reflective study by six recent or current PhD candidates. Despite differences in the nature of the PhD fields of study, and in the personal backgrounds of the participants, a number of common themes were recognised. We developed an interactive workshop for postgraduate students in which participants were asked to reflect on their emotional experiences in their own studies. The combined information from these sources was used to suggest some strategies for management of negative emotions that may arise during the PhD process. Of critical importance is the multiple roles of the PhD supervisor in helping manage the negative emotions that most PhD students inevitably experience at some stage in their candidature. Most important, though, is the role of self reflection in identifying potential emotional problems and their solutions; a process we recommend to PhD candidates and supervisors

The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
No full textAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering

No full textSally Morrison, a midwife, attended the home birth of Lauren Bouyea in a small apartment in Bath. Emergency medical technicians had to be called after Bouyea\u27s heart rate dropped below 50. The state charged Morrison with criminal recklessness, alleging that she attempted to apply two homeopathic remedies while EMTs were administering oxygen. Morrison waived her right to a jury trial, and testimony was heard last week in Sagadahoc County Superior Court over a two-day period. Details
Arizona ideas : policies from A-Z for a livable and competitive state
No full textabstract: Arizona Ideas includes notions large and small, homegrown and borrowed, current and historical. From A-Z, every one --whether originally born here or adapted from elsewhere-- contributes to the state’s competitive position. Arizona Ideas also explores the roots of Arizona’s tradition of self-criticism --some call it a sense of insecurity or inferiority in comparison to other places-- that often surfaces in discussions of public policy. This observation has provoked considerable debate, but few would deny that this perspective exists. It is time to debate this idiosyncrasy out in the open and find better ways of moving the state ahead.Includes bibliographical references (p. 66).Copyright by the Arizona Board of Regents for and on behalf of Arizona State University and its Morrison Institute for Public Polic

No full textSuperior Court justice Nancy Mills last week ruled that Sally Morrison of Waldoboro, a midwife, was not guilty of criminal recklessness in connection with the 1995 home birth of Lauren Bouyea. Morrison was charged for administering two homeopathic remedies to the newborn just after birth. Mills concluded that the state had proved that Morrison\u27s conduct created a substantial risk of serious bodily injury to the infant, but ruled that the state had not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the midwife acted recklessly
Komunita v knihách Toni Morrison
No full textCzech Abstract Toni Morrison se zabývá tématem komunity ve větší či menší míře ve všech svých románech. Díky výchově, které se jí dostalo, si vždy byla vědoma role a vlivu, jaký komunita na jedince má. Komunita nás může zachránit, ale i zavrhnout. Toni Morrison věří, že charakter černošské komunity dostál výrazných změn. Její kariéra spisovatelky odráží tyto transformace a odhaluje výraznou změnu autorčina postoje. Tato práce sleduje pomocí anylýz jejích románu The Bluest Eye, vydaného v roce 1970, její třetí knihy napsané o sedm let později, Song of Solomon, a její sedmé knihy z roku 1998, Paradise, způsob, jakým se měnil její pohled na komunitu. Toni Morrison byla jak proti separatismu, tak proti asimilaci černošské komunity. Jako možnou záchranu černošské komunity před rozkladem, ke kterému dochází vlivem hodnot kapitalistické společnosti, Morrison nejprve navrhuje návrat k tradičním africkým hodnotám. Později ve své kariéře se však od této myšlenky odvrací a řešení nalézá v komunitě, která nevylučuje nevhodné a nehodné jedince, ale je otevřená, pečující a inkluzivní. Přechodem od individualismu k individualitě vzniká komunita, která zahrnuje všechny.English Abstract Toni Morrison deals with the topic of community to a greater or lesser extent in all of her books. Being influenced by her own upbringing, she has always been aware of the role community plays in one's life and its influence on an individual. Community can both save you and forsake you. The nature of black community has been changing, according to Morrison, and so has her view of it. Her writing career reflects these alternations, revealing a significant change in her perspective. Looking at her first novel, The Bluest Eye, published in 1970, her third novel written seven years later, Song of Solomon, and her seventh novel, Paradise, written in 1998, this thesis traces the way her position alters throughout the years. Being opposed to both radical separatism and blind assimilation, Morrison first proposed return to traditional African values as the possible cure for the black community destroyed by the forces of capitalist society. Later in her career, however, Morrison changes her ideology and suggests as a remedy a community that does not exclude the unworthy, but is open, caring, and inclusive. By evolving from individualism to individuality, communities that will include everyone can be created.Department of Anglophone Literatures and CulturesÚstav anglofonních literatur a kulturFaculty of ArtsFilozofická fakult
"Shuttles in the rocking loom of history": dislocation in Toni Morrison's fiction
No full textThis thesis examines the trope of 'dislocation' within the later novels of Toni Morrison, identifying it as central to her representation ot African American history and experience. Organising my project around the theme and figure of dislocation allows me to bring together diverse considerations such as those of the geographical, communal, familial, cultural, corporeal and narrative displacements that preoccupy Morrison's fiction. Developing a line of enquiry neglected within the field of scholarship addressing Morrison's work, most importantly my thesis finds this term useful for negotiating the author's engagement with the diaspora engendered by racial slavery. In particular, it explores her evocation of the black diaspora as a configuration encompassing sites of remembering, affirmation and potentiality as well as processes of displacement, disruption, deracination and loss.
My research is informed by a broad range of critical resources but especially Edouard Glissant's and Paul Gilroy's theories of diasporic interaction. Tracing symbolic spatial trajectories and enabling and disabling relationships to the past, I investigate Morrison's imaginary in terms of a black Atlantic of roots and routes, patterns of traversal, connection and exchange. Rejecting a narrowly defined notion of African American Studies, this thesis seeks to extend the ways in which Morrison's novels are approached, locating in them a truly diasporic vision
Odzivi na delo Toni Morrison na Slovenskem
No full textToni Morrison, the first African American female winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, is certainly one of the modern artists whose novels have entered the world\u27s modern literary canon. She is one of the most read novelists in the United States, where all of her novels have been bestsellers. However, only Song of Solomon and Beloved have so far been translated into Slovene. There have been several articles or essays written on Toni Morrison but most of them are simply translations of English articles; the only exception is a study by Jerneja Petrič. This paper presents the Slovene translation of Song ofSolomon by Jože Stabej and the articles written on Toni Morrison by Slovene critics. Jože Stabej is so far the only Slovene translator who has translated Toni Morrison. The author of this article uses some Slovene translations from the novel in comparison to the original to show the main differences appearing because of different grammatical structures of both languages and differences in the two cultures. The articles by Slovene critics are primarily resumes or translations of English originals and have been mainly published in magazines specializing in literature.Prva afriško-ameriška Nobelova nagrajenka za literaturo Toni Morrison je vsekakor ena od modernih. ustvarjalk, katere romani so v svetu med najbolj poznanimi. V Združenih državah Amerike je ena najbolj branih romanopisk, saj so bili vsi njeni romani »best-selerji«. Na žalost pa istega ne moremo trditi za slovenske bralce, med katerimi Nobelova nagrajenka še vedno ni našla mesta, ki ji pripada. Do sedaj sta bila v slovenščino prevedena samo romana Song of Salomon in Beloved, pa še ta dva sta v večji meri slovenskemu bralcu neznana. Poleg tega je bilo napisanih o Toni Morrison in njenem delu le približno deset člankov ali spisov, pa še ti so večinoma prevodi angleških člankov; izjema je študija Jerneje Petrič. Članek je predstavitev slovenskega prevoda romana Song of Salomon, ki ga je prevedel Jože Stabej, in člankov, ki so jih o Toni Morrison napisali slovenski kritiki. Jože Stabej je do sedaj edini slovenski prevajalec, ki se je lotil prevajanja romanov Toni Morrison. Avtorica tega članka se posluži nekaterih odlomkov iz slovenskega prevoda romana Song of Salomon in ga primerja z izvirnikom. S tem želi pokazati na tiste razlike med obema jezikoma, do katerih prihaja zaradi različnih slovničnih struktur jezikov in različnih kultur. Članki slovenskih kritikov so večinoma le povzetki ali prevodi angleških izvirnikov in so bili objavljeni v različnih literarnih revijah. Le v redkih slovenskih šolah so dela Toni Morrison del učnega načrta, zato jih le redki dijaki poznajo. Da bi bilo temu drugače, bi morali spremeniti učni načrt, v okviru katerega bi eno izmed poglavij obravnavalo Nobelove nagrajence ali pa bi v okviru pouka angleškega jezika brali odlomke iz njenih del
