Edy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Jean Folkerts W. Fitzhugh Brundage Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Frank E. Fee, Jr. Barbara Friedman ©2012 Carolyn Martindale Edy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract CAROLYN M. EDY: Conditions of Acceptance: The United States Military, the Press, and the “Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945 (Under the direction of Jean Folkerts) This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war-related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war. As the first study to examine these concepts, from their emergence in the press through their use in military directives, this dissertation relies upon a variety of sources to consider the roles and influences, not only of the women who worked as war correspondents but of the individuals and institutions surrounding their work. Nineteenth and early 20th century newspapers continually featured the woman war correspondent—often as the first or only of her kind, even as they wrote about more than sixty such women by 1914.

  • What We Mean When We Talk About Suffering—And Why Eric Cassell Should Not Have the Last Word
    What We Mean When We Talk About Suffering—and Why Eric Cassell Should Not Have the Last Word Tyler Tate, Robert Pearlman Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, Volume 62, Number 1, Winter 2019, pp. 95-110 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/722412 Access provided at 26 Apr 2019 00:52 GMT from University of Washington @ Seattle What We Mean When We Talk About Suffering—and Why Eric Cassell Should Not Have the Last Word Tyler Tate* and Robert Pearlman† ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the phenomenon of suffering and its relation- ship to medical practice by focusing on the paradigmatic work of Eric Cassell. First, it explains Cassell’s influential model of suffering. Second, it surveys various critiques of Cassell. Next it outlines the authors’ concerns with Cassell’s model: it is aggressive, obscure, and fails to capture important features of the suffering experience. Finally, the authors propose a conceptual framework to help clarify the distinctive nature of sub- jective patient suffering. This framework contains two necessary conditions: (1) a loss of a person’s sense of self, and (2) a negative affective experience. The authors suggest how this framework can be used in the medical encounter to promote clinician-patient communication and the relief of suffering. *Center for Ethics in Health Care and School of Medicine, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland. †National Center for Ethics in Health Care, Washington, DC, and School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle.

  • Blending Between Occultism and Scientism in Vasile Voiculescu's
    Article received on November 10, 2017 and accepted for publishing on February 18, 2018. ORIGINAL ARTICLES Blending between occultism and scientism in Vasile Voiculescu’s short stories Mirela Radu1 Abstract: Vasile Voiculescu (1884-1963), besides being a well-known writer, was also a prominent, much respected physician who practiced between the two world wars. He attended the courses of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy in Bucharest for a year (1902-1903), but gave up on them in order to attend the Faculty of Medicine. The literary debut took place in 1912 in the journal Convorbiri literare. He published the first volume of lyrical poems in 1916 and in 1918 he was granted the Academy Award for lyrical volume From the Aurochs Country and other poems. In 1935 he became a member of the Academy of Sciences of Romania and in 1941 he received the National Poetry Prize. The following volumes of poems are: Ripeness (1921), Poems with Angels (1927), Destiny (1933), Ascent (1937), Gleams (1939). His work also includes a short story: The Demiurge (1943). Shakespeare's last imaginative sonnets in Vasile Voiculescu’s translation (1964), and the novel Zahei-The blind (1966), Sentimental Gymnastics (1972) are published posthumously. The present article is aimed at revealing the world of Voiculescu’s short stories. Keywords: medical studies, abyssal psychology, scientism, mystery, obscurity Although the most analyzed creator received new powers, as a sum of his life’s and part of Voiculescu’s work artistic experience by a high level of expression, in a seems to be his poetry, he veritable eruption if poetry, in verses and prose.” [2] proved his worth in the same The surprise comes from the chameleonic nature of manner in storytelling.

  • Healing Narrative: Ethics and Writing About Patients
    Virtual Mentor American Medical Association Journal of Ethics July 2011, Volume 13, Number 7: 420-424. FROM THE EDITOR Healing Narrative—Ethics and Writing about Patients As Jack Coulehan and Anne Hawkins put it, “writing about patients is a growth industry” [1]. Recent years have seen an explosion of both fiction and nonfiction works written by physicians for a popular audience. Atul Gawande’s Complications, Pauline Chen’s Final Exam, and Danielle Ofri’s Singular Intimacies, all critically acclaimed and widely read, open a window into an experience that was once the sole province of those in medical training. These authors employ patient stories to convey poignant insights about what it is like to practice medicine. Neurologist Oliver Sacks’s classic Awakenings and more recent An Anthropologist on Mars also make use of patient stories, guiding his readers into the awe-inspiring world of the human mind through the unusual experiences of his patients. These powerful memoirs, however, move us to ask, whose stories are they telling? What are physicians’ responsibilities towards patients when they put them on paper? In this issue of Virtual Mentor, we explore the ethics of writing about patients and examine the sometimes conflicting, sometimes synergistic duties of physician and author. Sharing patient stories has always been a mainstay of medical education—every issue of Virtual Mentor begins with three clinical cases. This is not an arbitrary quirk but a reflection of a long tradition. Clinicians share patient stories on the wards, in grand rounds, in doctors’ lounges; they tell patient stories to medical trainees and teach them the language in which to tell these stories themselves.

  • Material Culture, Theoretical Culture, and Delocalization
    PETER GALISON Material Culture, Theoretical Culture, and Delocalization Collection, laboratory, and theater – all face the unavoidable problem of moving the specific, tangible reality of a highly refined local circum- stance into a wider domain, if not of the universal, at least out of the here and now. In the study of science, simply recognizing the inevitably local origins of science has been an enormous accomplishment, perhaps the signal achievement of science studies over the past twenty years. But we then need to understand, again in specific terms, how this lo- cally-produced knowledge moves, how – without invoking an other- wise unexplained process of ‘generalization’ – scientific work is de- localized. My work over the last years (e.g. Image and Logic)1 has aimed at this goal, folding the local back on the local, so to speak, by asking how the local cultures of science link up through the piecewise coordination of bits of languages, objects, procedures. I have in mind much more austere and less grand ideas than the ‘translation,’ ‘trans- mission,’ or ‘diffusion’ of pre-existing meanings. Instead, my focus is on the way bare-bone trading may occur between different subcultures of science, or between subcultures of science and bits of the wider world in which they are fundamentally embedded. In this picture, nei- ther language nor the world of things changes all of a piece, and talk of world-changing Gestalt shifts give way to the particular building-up of scientific jargons, pidgins, and creoles. These trading languages be- come important as do shared bits of apparatus or fragments of theoreti- cal manipulation.

  • The Art of Looking Back and the Reward of More Or Less Being Seen
    The Art of Looking Back and the Reward of More or Less Being Seen The danger is in pleasing an immediate public: the immediate public that comes around you and takes you in and accepts you and gives you success and everything. Instead of that, you should wait for fifty years or a hundred years for your true public. That is the only public that interests me. Marcel Duchamp It is the REGARDEURS who make the pictures. Marcel Duchamp click to enlarge Figure 1 Jasper Johns, The Critic Sees, 1961 Our ability to believe our eyes is often overridden by our unquestioning confidence in the judgment of “experts”. As in Jasper John’s The Critic Sees(Fig. 1), we seem to put more trust in the words of these experts whose insights are often the reiteration of yet others’ conclusions, than in our own ability to bear down and witness what is before us. Marcel Duchamp understood the human tendency to categorize and simplify as well as rely on the filters of contemporary opinion to color observation; I believe he used this knowledge to make a powerful commentary on the state of affairs of modern thought and the direction that art was taking in his lifetime. Duchamp fought quietly against the move in twentieth century art towards the purely visual experience, the ‘retinal shudder’ as he put it, where “aesthetic delectation depends almost exclusively upon the sensitivity of the retina without any auxiliary interpretation.”(1) This auxiliary interpretation was to Duchamp the operation of the intellect in making and understanding art.

The original plans were drawn by Colonel Joseph Totten. A violent hurricane in 1846 destroyed most of the fort’s temporary work buildings and supplies, but construction was quickly resumed. Crafts- men for the brick work were imported from Germany and Ireland. Laborers were local slaves whose owners were paid $1.00 a day for their services. This is a view of the fort as drawn by a member of the garrison. It ap- peared in Harpers Weekly, March 2, 1861. Between 1898 and 1905, deciding that the fortress would be less vulnerable if not so tall, the structure was deliberately torn down to one story.
