Oakes Smith Returns to Maine
No full textIn June 2014, I was invited to deliver a lecture on Elizabeth Oakes Smith as part of the Gorman Lecture Series at the Yarmouth History Center, a short distance from Oakes Smith\u27s birthplace. I took the occasion to caution those who base their readings of Oakes Smith\u27s works (and those of other women) on their written autobiographies--as if the life of the woman writer stood as the origin the woman-as-author could only copy. Calling attention to the context of Oakes Smith\u27s writing of her autobiography (at which point her popularity was fading, her family disgraced and most of her friends dead and gone), I compare its description of Oakes Smith\u27s early marriage and literary career to MS correspondence from the 1830s and her account of her ascent of Mt. Katahdin which show dimensions of success and even celebration completely absent from the autobiography scholars have relied so heavily upon

Eros and Modernity: Georg Simmel on Love
No full textThe text below was originally published under the name “Eros and Modernity: Simmel on Love” in: The Sociology of Emotions: Original Essays and Research Paper. Franks, D.D. and E. Doyle McCarthy (ed.). Greenwich, CT: JAI press, 1989, pp. 229-247. In the words of its author, the text was written at a time when he was intensely engaged with Simmel, working on his philosophy of history and his hermeneutics. Today, Guy Oakes revisits this text and allows Simmel Studies Journal to republish it for this special issue on love. The text explores in its first part the defining characteristics of erotic love according to Simmel: individuality, reciprocity, immediacy and radicalism. In the second part he concentrates on modernity and how it has had an impact on love relationships
The quality in qualitative methods
No full textQuality concerns play a central role throughout all steps of the research process in qualitative methods, from the inception of a research question and data collection, to the analysis and interpretation of research findings. For instance, the type of instrument or procedure to collect data may be evaluated in relation to quality criteria, and these may be different from those which are used to judge the data obtained from such instruments or procedures. All these may yet again be different from quality criteria that may apply to the qualitative analyses of data. A national resource center for qualitative methods can contribute to the establishment and maintenance of certain quality standards. In this article, we will explore some of these quality criteria and how they can be established and maintained by a national resource center for qualitative methods.
