Text as process : creative composition in Wordsworth, Tennyson and Emily Dickinson
No full textBushell’s aim in Text as Process is to develop a research method for the study of compositional material. Although she draws on an international context – mainly French and German traditions – for current approaches to textual criticism, hers is the first book to apply a new form of critical analysis to authors in the Anglo-American tradition. Bushell revisits issues of intention within process and makes this the center of her new approach, employing “case studies” of the work of three major nineteenth-century poets: Wordsworth, Tennyson and Dickinson. She applies her methodology to each writer in different ways, allowing for cross-comparison as well as the recognition of individual distinctiveness in creativity. In doing so, Bushell demonstrates the need for a unique hermeneutics in relation to the making of the literary work of art. The author concludes with a philosophical account of the status and meaning of the literary work as it comes into being

Diamante, Robert
No full textRobert Diamante is a photographer from an Italian America family from New Jersey. He also has a graduate degree in theology. At an early age, he began to doubt religious dogma. He came out as gay in 10th grade and stood up against homophobic taunting by successfully physically defending himself. He briefly had a girlfriend in high school who remains one of his best friends. He moved to NYC and attended Pratt University before transferring to the Portland School of Art (now MECA) where his interests in art and theology combined in a body of work based on Catholic iconography (those photos are now part of the Sampson Center LGBTQ collection). At the Portland School of Art he studied with Agnes Bushell and, through her, met gay author John Preston. Diamante did fact-finding on the Big Gay Book for Preston and photographed him for Flesh and the Word. Through Preston, he met and befriended porn star Scott O’Hara and became aware of and involved with the AIDS epidemic. In 1992 he began a charter member of the Gay Men’s Chorus in Portland, Maine (his photos of the Chorus are also donated to the collection). One of his early photo exhibitions was “Boyfriends/Girlfriends” with lesbian photographer Jen McDermott. After graduation, he started a photography business and stayed in Maine where he found other gay men who enjoyed such pleasures as camping and hunting. He also began traveling, first to India, Papua New Guinea, and Bali. He continued his studies at Bangor Theological Seminary where he received a graduate degree in 2010.

Port of Rotterdam Intertidal wetland: Final Report
No full textThe Port of Rotterdam has many old harbours located close to the Rotterdam city center that are no longer suitable to be used for industrial purposes. Meanwhile due to expansion and population growth of the city, more recreational spaces are needed. The idea is to use the abundant dredged material from the Port of Rotterdam to fill in and construct intertidal wetland parks in some of these old harbours. They will serve as natural habitats for different types of flora and fauna such as migratory birds. These intertidal parks are also ideal recreational spaces for residents. This multidisciplinary project aims to provide a conceptual design of a tidal wetland in the Maashaven harbour. In this report, a general design is presented, and special attention is paid to technical issues that may occur in the construction process.MDP29
The Slipperiness of Literary Maps: Critical Cartography and Literary Cartography
No full textHow we read and interpret a map when it is presented alongside the text in a work of literary fiction is the central issue with which this paper is concerned. Although “literary maps” can be found across a range of genres in Literary Studies they are often treated as illustrative rather than understood to be integral to the meaning of the literary work. This paper seeks to challenge such an assumption. The first half of the paper is interdisciplinary, engaging with the work of Harley, Monmonier, Moretti and Thacker in order to open up responses to literary maps in more complex ways. It draws upon critical cartography to define core concerns for an emerging literary cartography such as the nature of the analogy between map and text; the complexity of correspondence when a map and text occur alongside each other and the author is also the mapmaker; the difficulties created by naive users of the literary map. The second half of the paper grounds prior discussion in analysis of Agatha Christie’s house plans in The Mysterious Affair at Styles and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Taking Dialogue Theory Much too Seriously (or Perhaps Charter Dialogue Isn\u27t Such a Good Thing after all)
No full textThis article challenges the thesis of Peter W. Hogg, Allison A. Bushell Thornton, and Wade K. Wright (put forth earlier in this issue) that the frequency of legislative responses to Charter decisions striking down laws, which they refer to as Charter dialogue, provides evidence that Canada has a weaker form of. judicial review than is thought to exist in the United States. This article also critiques their claim that judicial review is justified by the idea that individuals have rights that cannot be taken away by an appeal to the general welfare\u27. The author maintains that this claim not only contradicts their previous arguments, but also undermines their position that Charter dialogue, insofar as it allows legislatures to reassert majoritarian objectives following adverse court decisions, is a good thing
