A Study of the Classical Landscape at the Wang River Villa of Wang Wei
No full textThe landscape of Wang Wei's Wang River Villa is examined by reviewing the essays and papers written about the poetical collaboration, the “Wang River Collection.” The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meaning of villa architecture in China. The author expects that this research will contribute to a mutual understanding between cultures. The villa was a Utopia for Wang. On the other hand, he was a pious Buddhist and Buddhistic concepts are reflected in the landscape. I consider the features of the classical landscape of Xie Lingyun and "Chu Ci," as written in “The Collection,” a reflection of the Buddhistic concept. When considering what the classics meant to Wang Wei, it is apparent that his villa is a representation of the classical landscape. It is not an imitation of the classical landscape, but a unique and original creation of art by Wang.departmental bulletin pape

Sarah Piatt and the politics of mourning
No full textThe American poet Sarah Piatt (1836-1919) addresses crucial dilemmas of modem
identity, in particular the traumatic effects of war, the complexities of racial
relationships and the unsettling dynamics of urban life. Although a respected poet
in her day, Piatt's work disappeared after her death from the canon of American
literature, and it is only in the last five years that scholars have begun to realise the
importance of her poetry and to assess its depth and scope. This thesis contributes
to the process of assessing the significance of Piatt's work, and contextualises her
in relation to a number of other nineteenth-century American writers, including
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Walt Whitman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mary Chestnut and
Frederick Douglass.
I focus on the rift between Piatt's Southern plantation childhood and her married
life in the industrial North, and upon how the Civil War created irreconcilable
conflicts and divided loyalties in her life, which are played out in her writing. I
emphasise the Civil War as a moment of personal and cultural trauma, which
inaugurates what I term Piatfs 'politics of mourning'. I explore her politics of
mourning in relation to psychoanalytic theory. While Freud sought to rid mourning
of its ambivalence and interminability, and to displace these onto melancholia,
Piatt's writing blurs the boundary between them. Instead of dispensing with
mourning too quickly, too easily, Piatt recognises that one cannot avoid being
haunted by the past and by the dead. She engages in a dialogue with the past and
explores how the desire of the dead continues to be played out by the living.
In contrast to Northern writers like Phelps, Stowe and Whitman, who seek to heal
the nation by appealing to the idea of sacrifice, and the pastoral, in order to console
the bereaved and envisage a redeemed body politic, Piatt turns away from
consolation. Instead, she takes mourning in a direction that leads towards an
exploration of the uncanny, the ghost-like and the hallucinatory. She explores the
stifling effects of mourning in the South, and the way in which the North buried the
unpleasant realities of the war, in the process of memorialising it.
Piatt remained deeply emotionally invested in the South, yet she was also very
critical of the Confederate Cause, and in her work she repeatedly interrogates her
own investment in an idealised version of the antebellum South. I examine the
ways in which Piatt scrutinises Southern discourses of race and slavery. I focus in
particular on how she seeks to articulate a language of mourning for the South
while also repeatedly exposing, and destabilising Southern fictions of mastery
Supporting the research process through expanded library data services
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe how the authors gained a better understanding of the variety of library users' data needs, and how gradually some new data services were established based on current capabilities.Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses a case study of the new data services at the John Cotton Dana Library, at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark campus, to demonstrate the possible ways to extend data reference services and provide data computing services. A content analysis of services records shows how each user group falls into the multiple data services levels and subcategories.Findings – Library users can be classified into many different categories, and each of these may have different needs. Research centers might have big projects involving data gathering and applications where a librarian can mainly provide consultation; while an individual faculty member or student might need the librarians as research partners, with help for their specific problems. Computing data services can involve group training and statistical analysis assistance, where researchers need emergent help. Data librarians can take various opportunities for data management education, thereby gradually raising awareness and cultivating better research habits among researchers.Originality/value – Library data computing services can make unique contributions to faculty and students' research and study. Institution, library and users' interaction determines the levels and extent of data services and is generalized from the description and analysis of typical data service examples. Classic concept of data services levels is applied to a concrete case of data services program, and sub-categories of each data services level and user types are developed based on the authors' services record.This article is (c) Emerald Group Publishing and permission has been granted for this version to appear here at the RUcore: Rutgers University Community Repository .

Beyond Technical Instruction
No full textAs a data services librarian, I teach workshops on how to use statistical software. In addition to demonstrate step by step techniques and let the students do hands-on exercises, I point them to additional online tutorials and other resources. I also introduce them to principles and best practice of data analysis. Library guides are also set up for students to come back later reviewing the class notes or looking for links to other resources. Based on a feedback survey, this poster will reveal how students think of the usefulness of these different types of contents.Poster Presented in VALE/NJ ACRL/NJLA CUS Fourteenth Annual Users' Conference: Demonstrating Value for Every User, January 2013
