Memory in Roman Oratory: Theory and Practice
No full text‘Memory in Roman Oratory: Theory and Practice’ challenges and changes current perceptions of the evolution and use of mnemonic techniques in the ancient world, especially Roman oratory. The field of ‘artificial’ memory is one to which cognitive science bears real relevance: this thesis combines fresh analysis of ancient philosophical and rhetorical texts with modern scientific findings to rewrite the standard narrative surrounding the ‘art of memory’, which holds that the proliferation of written material through the ancient Mediterranean precipitated a need for a method of memorising texts verbatim. I show that we must instead understand the art of memory as inherently performative. Mnemonic techniques allowed speakers (orators, rhetoricians, even certain philosophers) to free themselves from a script and to improvise. In the second half of the thesis, I apply these theoretical findings to delineate real-world scenarios in which mnemonic techniques were used. By analysing the role that memory played in the various stages of a late-republican forensic trial, I show how orators prepared and delivered speeches, while offering novel insights into how some advocates utilised mnemonic techniques in real time, during trials while their opponents were speaking. Finally, I investigate why superior memory was framed in the Roman world as a desirable attribute for leaders, from orators and statesmen to generals and emperors. The answer lies partly with Cicero’s philosophy of leadership; and partly, with the importance wider Roman society attached to the social practice of nomenclatio (‘greeting by name’). Later sources indicate that Cicero’s views exerted a lasting influence on the portrayal of exemplary mnemonic ability, such that memory became a rare topos of imperial praise
The Running Revolution: Observations and Advice from Joe Henderson
No full textJoe Henderson has been the heartbeat of the running revolution since its beginnings in the early 1970s. Hiz eighth book offers the best of his running and writing career to this point (1980). Best-selling author Dr. George Sheehan says of him, Joe is a deceptively simple writer who makes it look easy. His instincts and intuitions about the running experience give him complete control, complete confidence. When it comes to writing about running, Joe has perfect pitch. Fellow author Jim Fixx adds that Henderson is as good a mentor as anyone could be lucky enough to have.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/prairiestriders_pubs/1193/thumbnail.jp
A duality-based approach to identification of linear time-varying systems
No full textIn this report a novel approach for the identification of linear time-varying systems is presented. We exploit the fact that external structures at the level of the inputs and outputs are reflected in the internal ones at the level of the state. Our approach first computes state trajectories from matrices of input-output data. A novel factorisation of the state trajectories from the input-output data matrices is developed. Then a state space representation compatible with the data is computed. We do not impose conditions in the time variation properties of the to-be-identified system.A procedure for the identification of self-adjoint systems is developed. We exploit the fact that linear time-varying systems as well as nonlinear systems are self-adjoint if they have an internal representation as a linear Hamiltonian.Finally, we utilise reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces to formalise the building of time functions for data and embed it into the duality-based approach
Church in Penitentes area of New Mexico
No full textPhotograph showing a church in the Penitentes area of northern New Mexico, taken by Joe Munroe, 1974. The Penitentes is a lay ministry group that works together to promote the idea of the Roman Catholic faith in the area of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. This group was formed after Spanish missionaries left the area once Mexico gained its independence, when local communities banded together to help one another in the absence of a parish priest. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work
