“The Pondering Repose of If”: Herman Melville’s Literary Exegesis
Full text linkThis study examines how Herman Melville’s oeuvre interacts with Old Testament (OT) wisdom literature (the Books of Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes). Using recent historical findings on the rise of religious skepticism and the erosion of Biblical authority in both Europe and the United States, I read Melville as an author steeped in the theological controversies of the eighteenth-century. Specifically, I am interested in teasing out the surprising disavowals of overt religious skepticism in Melville’s writing. By tracing the so-called Solomonic wisdom tradition throughout Melville’s oeuvre, I argue that Melville had developed an epistemology of contemplation towards that body of Biblical texts. Scholarship has traditionally painted Melville as a subversive if not downright skeptical religious thinker. Most studies have produced authorial readings, using texts as forensic evidence to make assertions about the author’s psychology. Incidentally, such assessments have confirmed the narrative of Herman Melville as a grand failed author of the nineteenth century, while ignoring the ambivalent attitudes toward Biblical authority, textual history, and skepticism that emerge in Melville’s writing. The present study intervenes by re-addressing several procedural questions about Melville’s literary dealings with the Bible: How does Melville deal with the distinct topics of religion, theology, religious skepticism, and doubt? How does he think through the relationship between science and religion as well as that of personal religion and theology? I claim that Melville’s work can be read as a continuous contemplation of Biblical wisdom. His writing, I argue, deals productively rather than a destructive with the Bible, its textual history, and authority. Melville’s thinking on theological and religious subjects was not merely subversive but constructive. In mounting this argument, I contradict current scholarship that reads Melville as trying to invent a new American Bible. In contrast, I show how Melville’s philosophical forays, even when critical, are dependent on the ethics, language, and thinking of the OT.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Englis

Full text linkCentral Lampung Civil Service Police have carried out raids to enforce control. When the Central Lampung Civil Service Police enforced control, the traders could be disciplined, but when the Central Lampung Civil Service Police did not control them, the trade around Awning Baru started to flourish again.To control the New Awnings, the Central Lampung Civil Service Police already have a clear working mechanism, namely Central Lampung Regional Regulation Number 05 of 2010 concerning Public Order, Cleanliness and Beauty of Central Lampung, which regulates the prohibition of using public roads or sidewalks or on terraces. in front of shops / market buildings facing public roads for street vendors or other businesses, except at places determined / appointed by the Regent.In addition, the Decree of the Central Lampung Regent Number 7 of 2010 concerning the Arrangement and Empowerment of Street Vendors, can also be used as a working mechanism for the Central Lampung Civil Service Police to create and maintain a clean, beautiful, orderly, safe and comfortable environment in controlling the New Awnings.But so far the Central Lampung Civil Service Police are still difficult to control the Bandar Jaya Plaza New Awnings, although there are mechanisms that can be used to control the Bandar Jaya Plaza New Awnings such as the Central Lampung Regional Regulation Number 05 of 2010 and the Regent's Decree Central Lampung Number 7 of 2010.Based on this background, the researchers formulated the problem, namely: Is the working mechanism of the Civil Service Police in controlling the Bandar Jaya Plaza New Awnings in 2015 in accordance with the Regional Regulations? The purpose of this study: To determine the working mechanism of the Civil Service Police in controlling the new Awning Bandar Jaya Plaza 2015.Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, the researchers concluded that: 1) The Central Lampung Civil Service Police Unit in controlling the Bandar Jaya Plaza New Awnings has been equipped with an assignment letter to carry out the Bandar Jaya Plaza Regional Regulation Number 05 of 2010 concerning Public Order, Cleanliness. and the beauty of Central Lampung and the Decree of the Regent of Central Lampung Number: 48 / KPTS / D.II / 2014 concerning the Formation of the Transfer and Arrangement Team as well as the Security and Order Team for Street Vendors (PKL) from the Bandar Jaya Plaza Market to the New Awning. 2) To relocate traders from Pasar Bandar Jaya Plaza to Awning Baru, the Central Lampung Civil Service Police Unit has previously carried out a socialization which was carried out by giving out circulars to traders and carrying out communication and using megaphone loudspeakers. 3) The members of the Central Lampung Civil Service Police Unit before carrying out the control of the New Awnings are already equipped with expertise related to market control and can be applied in market control so that there is no significant disturbance in controlling the New Awnings because members of the Central Lampung Civil Service Police Unit act accordingly. with procedures and instructions from the leadership in controlling the New Awnings

The Most Famous Writer of the Low Countries: Herman Brusselmans Star Author and (Reluctant) Public Intellectual
Full text linkAbstractThe Flemish writer Herman Brusselmans is the most famous author of the Low Countries. In this article, Herman Brusselmans is analysed as a star author. First and foremost, two striking aspects of Brusselmans’s stardom are analysed: his public visibility and the cult of the private. Attention is then focused on Brusselmans’s experience of celebrity, which he - like many other star authors - thematises in his books. Doing so, he consciously places himself in the context of popular culture. On the other hand, as a result of his celebrity status he has been expected - particularly in the last few years - to assume the role of public intellectual willy-nilly, and this in turn has had consequences for his work.</jats:p
