  • Urging All of Us to Open Our Minds and Hearts So That We Can Know Beyond
    CHAPTER 1 HOLISTIC READING We have left the land and embarked. We have burned our bridges behind us- indeed we have gone farther and destroyed the land behind us. Now, little ship, look out! Beside you is the ocean: to be sure, it does not always roar, and at times it lies spread out like silk and gold and reveries of graciousness. But hours will come when you realize that it is infinite and that there is nothing more awesome than infinity... Oh, the poor bird that felt free now strikes the walls of this cage! Woe, when you feel homesick for the land as if it had offered more freedom- and there is no longer any ―land.‖ - Nietzsche Each man‘s life represents a road toward himself, an attempt at such a road, the intimation of a path. No man has ever been entirely and completely himself. Yet each one strives to become that- one in an awkward, the other in a more intelligent way, each as best he can. Each man carries the vestiges of his birth- the slime and eggshells of his primeval past-… to the end of his days... Each represents a gamble on the part of nature in creation of the human. We all share the same origin, our mothers; all of us come in at the same door. But each of us- experiments of the depths- strives toward his own destiny. We can understand one another; but each is able to interpret himself alone. – Herman Hesse 1 In this chapter I suggest a new method of reading, which I call “holistic reading.” Building on the spiritual model of the Self offered by Jiddu Krishnamurti and the psychological model of “self” offered by Dr.

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the relationship between the print novel and new media. It argues that this relationship is productive; that is, it locates the novel and new media within a tense, but symbiotic relationship. This requires an understanding of media relations that is ecological, rather than competitive. More precise, this dissertation investigates ways that the novel incorporates new media. The word “incorporate” refers both to embodiment and physical union.

  • Locating New Literary Practices in Indian Digital Spaces Shanmugapriya T Nirmala Menon
    Locating New Literary Practices in Indian Digital Spaces Shanmugapriya T Nirmala Menon INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY INDORE ABSTRACT In this essay, we locate and explore new literary practices and expressions in Indian digital spaces such as SMS novel and social media narratives: poetry, flash fiction, twitterfiction which are not considered as electronic literature in India. The integration of technology and creativity is not a novel phenomenon in Indian literature where one can find the narrative tradition of ancient Indian literature which includes poetical words, paintings, and music, for instance, Pattachitra, Ragamala paintings and Chitra Kavi. Similarly, new literary practices and expressions in the digital environment include literary artefacts such as interfaces, images, audio and videos. These works serve as a gateway to excit- ing electronic literature in India. KEYWORDS new literary practices; digital environment; India; ancient literary practices. RESUMO Neste ensaio, localizamos e exploramos novas práticas e expressões literárias em espaços digitais indianos, tais como romances em SMS e narrativas nos média sociais: poesia, ficção-flash, ficção-twitter que não são considerados literatura eletrónica na Índia. A integração de tecnologia e criatividade não é um fenómeno novo na literatura indiana, onde se pode encontrar uma tradição narrativa da literatura indiana antiga que inclui palavra, pintura e música, por exemplo, Pattachitra, pinturas de Ragamala e Chitra Kavi. Da mesma forma, as novas práticas e expressões literárias no ambiente digital incluem artefactos literários como interfaces, imagens, áudio e vídeo. Estas obras servem como porta de entrada para a literatura eletrónica na Índia. PALAVRAS - CHAVE novas práticas literárias; ambiente digital; Índia; práticas literárias antigas.

  • Is Internet Really Ruining the English Language?
    http://elr.sciedupress.com English Linguistics Research Vol. 5, No. 2; 2016 “I Have Lost All Ability To Can”: Is Internet Really Ruining The English Language? Oyedokun-Alli Wasiu Ademola1 Ph.D 1Department of English and Literary Studies, Federal University, Oye –Ekiti, Nigeria Correspondence: Oyedokun-Alli Wasiu Ademola, Ph. D, Department of English and Literary Studies, Federal University, Oye –Ekiti, Nigeria Received: March 22, 2015 Accepted: May 6, 2016 Online Published: May 26, 2016 doi:10.5430/elr.v5n2p28 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/elr.v5n2p28 Paper Presented At The 31st Annual National Conference Of The Nigeria English Studies Association (NESA), At The Federal University Lokoja, 26 -29 October, 2015. Abstract Language is an important instrument through which members of a given community express their thoughts, feelings and emotions; it is one of the most fundamental means of human communication and a primary object of the study of linguistics. It is perhaps no more than trite to suggest that the internet has become a fact of social life globally. However, proving this fact needs an ordered frame of reference. Internet linguistics is yet another domain of linguistics advocated by the English linguist, David Crystal. It studies “new language styles and forms that have arisen under the influence of the Internet and other New Media, such as Short Message Service (SMS) text messaging”, (Wikipedia). There have arisen great disputations on whether or not the use of the Internet is hindering language development. This paper examines these arguments in relation to students’ proficiency in language use, generally. To what extent can one generalize the findings in other climes within the Nigerian context? Using both the Critical Discourse Analysis theory and Braddock communication model, the study examines “sent” and “received” SMS and e-mails from the sample population, with a view to determining the impact on the users’ proficiency level in English language Keywords: Language, Internet linguistics, Text messaging 1.

  • Coda: the Value of Architecture
    A General Theory of Value, Coda .......Page 11–1 Not to be duplicated or cited without author's permission. THE VALUE OF ARCHITECTURE being the Coda of A General Theory of Value © 2003, Michael Benedikt We have been engaged in what could fairly be described as a study of the architecture of value—with "architecture" understood quite abstractly. Here, in the Coda, we turn to the value of architecture quite literally. Our question: can the theory of value developed in this book shed light upon how architecture is valued?—and, by extension, how the whole designed, built, and landscaped physical world is valued? Or ought to be? We ask because around the world the quality of buildings and the condition of the physical environment is for the most part lamentable and on the whole getting worse. At the beginning of the 21st century, several overlapping factors can be listed as contributing to this trend: • continued rapid population growth in and around cities, causing crowding and over-stressing all physical and legal infrastructures; • powerful market forces, intensified by globalization, riding roughshod over traditional practices, values, and uses of the land; • distraction by the mass media and by other technologically-assisted entertainments and communication systems; • a general lack of understanding of the kind of good that (good) architecture is, and the value of what it does for everyone, not just for elites; A General Theory of Value, Coda .......Page 11–2 • people's passion for individual freedom over liberty—freedom in the form of physical mobility, job opportunity, experiential variety, "better deals," and greater consumer choice...at almost all costs; • citizen reluctance to pay (and government reluctance to dedicate) the tax monies required to create and keep public buildings in good repair and civic spaces a reason for pride; • the values, doctrines, and strategies of architects, engineers, and other design professionals throughout the latter part of the 20th century attempting to respond to above conditions—but exacerbating them instead.

  • Meeting of Minds Xix
    MEETING OF MINDS XIX May 13, 2011 This is the nineteenth annual Meeting of Minds gathering. The purpose of this meeting is to highlight the accomplishments of undergraduate stu- dents and their interactions with faculty members from represented uni- versities. Each year the meeting is held on the campus of one of the participating universities. This year, Oakland University will host 184 oral and poster presentations. The sessions will be held in the Oakland Center (OC) and in South Foundation Hall (SFH). Oral presentations are grouped into four time slots with multiple sessions at each time. There will be morning and afternoon poster sessions held across from Café O’Bears in the Oakland Center. All presentation details can be found in the program. In addition, an alphabetical index of stu- dent presenters is included at the back of the program. We extend a special thanks to all faculty sponsors for the generous time and effort spent in working with their undergraduate students and assist- ing them in presentation preparation. Faculty sponsor names are in- cluded with the abstracts in the program. MEETING OF MINDS XIX Oakland University was created in 1957, when the late Alfred G. and Matilda R. Wilson donated their 1,444-acre estate and $2 million to Michigan State University for a new col- lege in Oakland County. In 1970, OU became an independent campus and is now a com- prehensive state-assisted institution with over 19,000 students. Anchored by a strong lib- eral arts program, the university is organized into the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration, School of Education and Human Services, School of Engineer- ing and Computer Science, School of Health Science, School of Nursing and the Oakland University – William Beaumont School of Medicine.
