  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Local Independence and Residual Covariance: a Study of Olympic Figure Skating Ratings
    JOURNAL OF APPLIED MEASUREMENT, 10(2), Copyright© 2009 Local Independence and Residual Covariance: A Study of Olympic Figure Skating Ratings John M. Linacre University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia Rasch fit analysis has focused on tests of global fit and tests of the fit of individual parameter estimates. Critics have noted that slight, but pervasive, patterns of misfit to a Rasch model within the data may escape detection using these approaches. These patterns contradict the Rasch axiom of local independence, and so degrade measurement and may bias measures. Misfit to a Rasch model is captured in the observation residuals. Traces of pervasive, but faint, secondary dimensions within the observations may be identified using factor analytic techniques. To illustrate these techniques, the ratings awarded during the Pairs Figure Skating competition at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games are examined. The intention is to detect analytically the patterns of rater bias admitted publicly after the event. It is seen that the one-parameter-at-a-time fit statistics and differential item functioning approaches fail to detect the crucial misfit patterns. Factor analytic methods do. In fact, the competition was held in two stages. Factor analytic techniques already detect the rater bias after the first stage. This suggests that remedial rater retraining or other rater-related actions could be taken before the final ratings are collected. Requests for reprints should be sent to 2 LINACRE Introduction performers will fail on an item, and higher per- formers will succeed on it, then that item has high Local independence is a property required discrimination.

  • Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Zhong Yurou
    Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Zhong Yurou Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Yurou Zhong All rights reserved ABSTRACT Script Crisis and Literary Modernity in China, 1916-1958 Yurou Zhong This dissertation examines the modern Chinese script crisis in twentieth-century China. It situates the Chinese script crisis within the modern phenomenon of phonocentrism – the systematic privileging of speech over writing. It depicts the Chinese experience as an integral part of a worldwide crisis of non-alphabetic scripts in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It places the crisis of Chinese characters at the center of the making of modern Chinese language, literature, and culture. It investigates how the script crisis and the ensuing script revolution intersect with significant historical processes such as the Chinese engagement in the two World Wars, national and international education movements, the Communist revolution, and national salvation. Since the late nineteenth century, the Chinese writing system began to be targeted as the roadblock to literacy, science and democracy. Chinese and foreign scholars took the abolition of Chinese script to be the condition of modernity. A script revolution was launched as the Chinese response to the script crisis. This dissertation traces the beginning of the crisis to 1916, when Chao Yuen Ren published his English article “The Problem of the Chinese Language,” sweeping away all theoretical oppositions to alphabetizing the Chinese script. This was followed by two major movements dedicated to the task of eradicating Chinese characters: First, the Chinese Romanization Movement spearheaded by a group of Chinese and international scholars which was quickly endorsed by the Guomingdang (GMD) Nationalist government in the 1920s; Second, the dissident Chinese Latinization Movement initiated in the Soviet Union and championed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the 1930s.
