Dwarf crested iris photograph
No full textPhotograph of a dwarf crested iris (Iris cristata). Naturalist and photographer Ralph Ramey documented plants, animals, insects, and other notable features of the Ohio landscape on his travels throughout Ohio. Ramey (1928 - 2019) was a prolific writer and authored "Fifty Hikes in Ohio: Walks, Hikes, and Backpacking Trips throughout the Buckeye State," often illustrating his books and lectures with his photographs. Ramey spent time working for the Franklin County Park District, the Miami County Park District, and served as Director of the Glen Helen Nature Preserve in Yellow Springs, Ohio. He also worked as the chief of the Division of Natural Areas and Preserves with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, before retiring in 1994
The Systemic Approach, Biosemiotic Theory, and Ecocide in Australia
No full textIn her article The Systemic Approach, Biosemiotic Theory, and Ecocide in Australia Iris Ralph summarizes an argument in defense of disciplinarity ( openness from closure ) that Cary Wolfe makes in What is Posthumanism? She also comments on an implicit argument that Wendy Wheeler makes in The Whole Creature: Complexity, Biosemiotics and the Evolution of Culture. As Ralph argues, Wheeler\u27s implicit claim is that biosemiotic language, which humans share with other biological beings, connects human animals and nonhuman animals on moral and affective grounds. Ralph summarizes Wolfe\u27s defense of disciplinarity that literary and cultural studies scholars who engage with the question of the animal generate claims which complement interrogations of the moral and affective distinctions between human animals and nonhuman animals. Ralph uses Wolfe\u27s and Wheeler\u27s arguments to read Nugi Garimara\u27s Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence, Robyn Davidson\u27s Tracks, and Xavier Herbert\u27s Capricornia in an ecocritical context

Epistolary Communication in Iris Murdoch's Novels
No full textThis paper investigates the narrative functions of deceitful letters in Iris Murdoch’s The Black Prince. The presentation includes extracts from the aforementioned novel, which is analysed in the context of Murdoch’s own views on epistolary communication and her philosophical meditations on language and morality. Across a range of Murdoch's novels, I explore the common motives behind disingenuous letters, their implications on interpersonal relationships, and the transmissional shortcomings of the epistolary medium.
To illuminate Murdoch’s communicative ethos as a prolific correspondent, this project refers to the compositional traits that Peter J. Conradi ties to her early ‘epistolary habit’ in Iris Murdoch: A Life and consult various letters exchanged between the author and her intimate relations in Living on Paper: Letters from Iris Murdoch: 1934–1995.
In order to understand Murdoch’s stance on the association between ethics and language, I plan to review her layered perspectives on Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. I refer to Murdoch’s response to Wittgenstein in 'Thinking and Language' (1951), 'Vision and Choice in Morality' (1956) and her 1972 Blashfield Address ‘Salvation by Words’, and Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals (1992). Finally, I will consider Murdoch’s modification of Weil’s concept of ‘attention’ in ‘The Idea of Perfection’ and ‘Vision and Choice in Morality’ to understand how moral selection pre-empts epistolary projection

Old Green Deserts and New Brown Pools: Postcolonization, Neo-colonization, and Decolonization
No full textAustralia is the world's most arid continent. The drying began in the time of the late Pleistocene, about 35,000 years ago, when the amount and reliability of rainfall and the availability of permanent surface water decreased; and it extended up to the beginning of the Holocene. From then until about 250years ago, the drying stabilized and biodiversity flourished. Australia today is in the midst of another massive drying. Its beginnings trace to the pastoral traditions that Anglo-European colonizer–settler people introduced in the eighteenth century and to the birth of industrial mining in the late nineteenth century. The word “desertscapes” evokes post-1788 pastoral and mining activities, the primary focus of this chapter and reading of two films by First Nations film director Ivan Sen: Mystery Road (2013) and Goldstone (2016).補正完
