  • SEERS of the AGES
    —— SEERS Of THE AGES: EMBRACING SPIRITUALISM, PAST AND PRESENT. DOCTRINES STATED AND MORAL TENDENCIES DEFINED. By J. M. PEEBLES. I have Btolen the golden keys of the Egyptians ; I will indulge my sacred fury.—Kepler. Old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. The highest state- ment of new philosophy complacently caps itself with some prophetic maxim from the oldest learning. There is something mortifying in this perpetual circle —Emerson. Master mind and you master the universe. Perasee Lendanta. It doth not yet appear what we shall be. Apostle John. FOURTH EDITION. LONDON: J. BURNS, PROGRESSIVE LIBRARY, 15 SOUTHAMPTON ROW, W.C. BOSTON: WILLIAM WHITE AND COMPANY, BANNER OF LIGHT OFFICE, lf,8 WASHINGTON STREET. 1870. To the English Reader. The great cordiality and interest with which our labours have been received in Great Britain, and the increasing demand for facts and thoughts on the pheno- mena and tendencies of Spiritualism, have induced us to accede so far to the request of many acquaintances, and the wishes of the friends of Spiritualism generally, as to grant an English edition of "The Seers of the Ages." The price has been fixed so as to meet the wants of almost every reader, and much lower than it could possibly be imported from America. It is not yet twelve months since the first edition appeared, and if the present step increases the usefulness of the work, and proves an aid to the inquiring mind, then shall we feel recompensed for our risk and trouble in preparing this issue.

  • NEWSLETTER No
    NEWSLETTER No. 31, Spring 2006 Atlanta to Host Another Classical Tradition Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, gazes in sculpted form through the Gateway of Dreams in Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park. This summer, Atlanta will be hosting another group of devotees to the ancient world, as the North American Cambridge Classics project offers its annual Summer Workshop, from July 5 to July 8. Accommodation and workshop sessions will all be at the Marriott Springhill Suites Atlanta Buckhead, a convenient change from most past conferences. Registration and an opening reception will take place on the evening of Wednesday, July 5, with regular sessions following from Thursday through Saturday. Those sessions will deal with just about everything you wanted to ask about the Cambridge Latin Course. Topics will include an overview of the reading method and the most appropriate pedagogical approaches to it; the teaching of grammar; teaching and testing vocabulary and derivatives; approaches to the cultural component of the course; a group session taking a “class” through an entire Stage; planning a year’s timeline; technology such as listserv, Cambridge-related web sites and PowerPoint; and games and gimmicks. Participants will also be asked to bring along one item each to share with the group. This capsule summary of three days’ worth of presentations (and it does not include a museum visit or other possible social activities) gives some indication of how busy but also how rewarding these workshops are. Whether you are a nervous novice wanting guidance through uncharted waters, a veteran who has chosen or been asked to switch to the CLC, or an old hand at the reading approach who just wants to share and compare notes with Classics colleagues, there is In this issue..

As part of the Imagine Downtown process, JSA was publicized as one of five focus areas requiring planning attention. Dates and times of all public events were posted on the Central Atlanta Progress website (www.atlantadowntown.com). E-mail comments were welcomed and encouraged. Several questions in the online ‘Imagine Survey’ were directed toward development in the JSA-McGill corridor. The centerpieces of the public involvement process were three public workshops; the second being a three-day long ‘Charette Week’ designed to build awareness and excitement through an intense set of collaborative exercises. 2.1.1 Public Workshop 1 The first public workshop was held on August 19, 2003 on the 27th floor of SunTrust Tower; over 200 persons attended. The purpose was to kick off the JSA-McGill LCI process by introducing the project and the team, and to conduct interactive exercises to gauge the initial level of consensus on issues and priorities. The workshop opened with a welcome and introduction by representatives of Central Atlanta Progress, and continued with words and graphics describing the developing programs and potential impact of both the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola.

  • Lownes Johnny Joãozinho Reb FINAL DISSERTATION MANUSCRIPT
    “Johnny ‘Joãozinho’ Reb: The Creation and Evolution of Confederate Identity in Brazil” Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Steven Phillip Lownes, M.A. Spanish, M.A. Public Policy and Management Graduate Program in Spanish & Portuguese The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Pedro Pereira, Advisor Rebecca Haidt Eugenia Romero 1 Copyrighted by Steven Phillip Lownes 2018 2 Abstract “Johnny Joãozinho Reb: The Creation and Evolution of Confederate Identity in Brazil” traces the cultural history of a group of Confederate émigrés, now known as Os Confederados, that moved to Brazil after the Civil War to start a series of Confederate colonies in the land of the Southern Cross. While many of the emigrants returned to the United States after unsuccessfully attempting “pioneer” life in one of the last slave- holding societies in the western world, the few Confederates that remained joined together in an area near Santa Bárbara d’Oeste, São Paulo. In Santa Bárbara d’Oeste, they added new agricultural techniques and technology to the economy, and created educational reforms based upon their protestant religion, which impacted the country for years after. In the dissertation, I explore the impact that Confederate ideologies have had on the development of identity characteristics of the Confederados, and how these identity markers manifest themselves during various points over the course of more than 150 years. Due to the twenty-first century Confederados’ denial that their ancestors were racist and that they came to Brazil due to the existence of slavery, I explore the validity of these claims by analyzing the role of intercultural and interracial relations throughout the history of the Confederate community in Brazil.
