Portico: May 1994 This is a milepost. Eve17 Sunday morning, CBS newsman Charles ICuralt selects a milepost for the weekjust ended.

Our faithful response is to be “transformed by the renewing —Mission Statement of our minds” (Romans 12:2b), taking comfort that Christ is making “all things new” (Revelation 21:5). Notice how Christ is not making new things, there is a transformation that all things are new. Rev. Raymond Bonwell Bridge Pastor Things continue to change at Overbrook Presbyterian Church. The shift to intentional education for all ages (3-103) was off to a magnificent start. There were 29 adults present in Rev. David K. McMillan the Chapel on Sunday, January 6, as we began a look at the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew Pastor Emeritus 5-7).

  • Synaptic Space, Neuroscience, and American Modernist Poetry Deric
    “Nerves in Patterns” Synaptic Space, Neuroscience, and American Modernist Poetry Deric Corlew A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: George Lensing William Harmon Linda Wagner-Martin Erin Carlston Jane Thrailkill © 2010 Deric Corlew ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Deric Corlew: “Nerves in Patterns”: Synaptic Space, Neuroscience and American Modernist Poetry (Under the direction of Dr. George Lensing) Both modernist poetry and “modern” neuroscience used synaptic space to assemble fragments into meaningful arrangements that would replace the outmoded systems of the nineteenth century. Gertrude Stein and William Carlos Williams attempted to unify language by cleansing semantic associations and restoring the connection between idea and thing. Like her work in medicine and neuroscience, Stein’s literary attempts to create accurate depictions of reality must ultimately be considered failures because they privilege grammatical connections over semantic associations, playing with surfaces rather than unearthing the networks underlying identity. As a physician, Williams was more willing to accept the mind and its ideas as systems of objects, “things” that can be rearranged and reconnected in space to change patterns of meaning. Like Williams, Wallace Stevens used the imagination to create accurate visions of reality but recognized that a changing and fragmented reality can never be captured by the eye, which can only build fictions that refract, condense, and interpret reality. Stevens’ theory of vision is thus rooted in the anatomical structure of the eye, and his theory of aesthetics viewed any phenomenological evasion of the “I” as an impossibility because the “eye” necessarily distorts and enriches reality.
