Changes in faculty, administration, students, leadership, and curriculum. Moreso, I was impressed by the way we responded to these changes. Despite a global pandemic, economic crisis, and an empty campus, we have traveled very far from where we began. Our response to these trials has proven what many know to be true— we are rooted in Christ’s stability and consistency. Despite the tumultuous year, many things have stayed the same: early morning Latin classes, late-night studying, intellectually stimulating conversations, office hour visits, and small class sizes. Although we have traveled far, we have ended in the same place we began as freshmen— looking at the world with new eyes, afraid of the unknown, confident in God’s grace, and attempting to make a small mark on the world that may someday be labeled “history.” The 2019-2020 academic year marked a year of expansion for CUI’s History and Political Thought Department. Under the direction of Dr. Caleb Karges, the department sought to create new connections with History and Political Thought students both past and present. In addition to the establishment of the first academic history journal at CUI, the History Department added the History Society, which rekindled interdepartmental relationships based on the shared love of history and its

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

Chairperson, Thesis Committee James Goff, PhD. Member, Thesis Committee Timothy Silver, PhD. Member, Thesis Committee James Goff, PhD. Chairperson, Department of History Michael McKenzie, PhD. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Joshua Lee Waddell 2021 All Rights Reserved Abstract WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE: CLERICAL SUPPORT OF SECESSION AND THE CONFEDERATE WAR EFFORT IN NORTH CAROLINA Joshua Lee Waddell B.S., Appalachian State University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Dr. Judkin Browning The evangelical generation that fought the Civil War attached significant meaning to the idea that God involved Himself with the fate of nations and individuals. Despite being relatively neglected by modern scholars, many Americans at the time used their religious beliefs to interpret events in politics and on the battlefield. This thesis looks at the contributions that the religious class of North Carolina made to the Civil War, whether justifying separation or speaking of the South’s cause as divinely ordained. Using religious periodicals in the state, this research tracks North Carolina’s clergy through the secession crisis and shows their transition from Unionists to committed Confederates.

After arriving in Paris, he worked for three months in order to be able to continue on his way to Spain and Morocco. From there, he set off towards the east. He crossed Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt on foot, went beyond the Aswan dam and over the desert to reach Sudan, where he got arrested by the authorities, because he did not have a visa. He spent three months in prison until the Ethiopian Ambassador in Khartoum heard about the Rastafari who wanted to go to Addis Ababa on foot and authorized him to enter Ethiopia.

  • Italian Fascism Between Ideology and Spectacle
    Fast Capitalism ISSN 1930-014X Volume 1 • Issue 2 • 2005 doi:10.32855/fcapital.200502.014 Italian Fascism between Ideology and Spectacle Federico Caprotti In April 1945, a disturbing scene was played out at a petrol station in Piazzale Loreto, in central Milan. Mussolini’s body was displayed for all to see, hanging upside down, together with those of other fascists and of Claretta Petacci, his mistress. Directly, the scene showed the triumph of the partisans, whose efforts against the Nazis had greatly accelerated the liberation of the North of Italy. The Piazzale Loreto scene was both a victory sign and a reprisal. Nazis and fascists had executed various partisans and displayed their bodies in the same place earlier in the war. Indirectly, the scene was a symbolic reversal of what had until then been branded as historical certainty. Piazzale Loreto was a public urban spectacle aimed at showing the Italian people that fascism had ended. The Duce was now displayed as a gruesome symbol of defeat in the city where fascism had first developed. More than two decades of fascism were symbolically overcome through a barbaric catharsis. The concept of spectacle has been applied to Italian fascism (Falasca-Zamponi 2000) in an attempt to conceptualize and understand the relationship between fascist ideology and its external manifestations in the public, symbolic, aesthetic, and urban spheres. This paper aims to further develop the concept of fascism as a society of spectacle by elaborating a geographical understanding of Italian fascism as a material phenomenon within modernity. Fascism is understood as an ideological construct (on which the political movement was based) which was expressed in the symbolic and aesthetic realm; its symbolism and art however are seen as having been rooted in material, historical specificity.

  • Wu Guanzhong's Artistic Career Yong Zhang1,*
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 572 Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Arts, Design and Contemporary Education (ICADCE 2021) Wu Guanzhong's Artistic Career Yong Zhang1,* 1 State Specialist Institute of Arts, Rezervnyy Proyezd, D.12, Moscow, 121165 Russia *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Combining with Wu Guanzhong's learning experience, this paper analyzes Chinese oil painting art characteristics in different periods, and the method of integrating traditional Chinese ink and wash painting language with the western modern design language in the aspects such as modelling, colour and composition. Wu Guanzhong successfully used western painting method to show the Oriental artistic conception, and formed unique composition views and forms. With the use of concise and simple colors and free-writing lines, the painter's personal emotions, thoughts and standpoint and deep understanding of life can be expressed. On the basis of in-depth research on the essence, connotation and thought of Chinese and Western art, Wu Guanzhong found the "junction" of the integration of Chinese and Western art. Keywords: Wu Guanzhong, Hangzhou Academy of Art, Ink and wash painting, Oil painting, Integration of Chinese and Western art. 1. INTRODUCTION Wu Guanzhong entered Hangzhou Academy of Art to study Chinese and Western paintings. In the Wu Guanzhong (1919-2010), the People's school, he received direct guidance from teachers Artist, Art Educator, and Professor of the Academy such as Li Chaoshi, Fang Ganmin, and Pan of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University, used to Tianshou.

  • QUALESTORIA. Rivista Di Storia Contemporanea. L'italia E La
    «Qualestoria» n.1, giugno 2021, pp. 163-186 DOI: 10.13137/0393-6082/32191 https://www.openstarts.units.it/handle/10077/21200 163 Culture, arts, politics. Italy in Ivan Meštrović’s and Bogdan Radica’s discourses between the two World Wars di Maciej Czerwiński In this article the activity and discourses of two Dalmatian public figures are taken into consideration: the sculptor Ivan Meštrović and the journalist Bogdan Radica. They both had an enormous influence on how the image of Italy was created and disseminated in Yugoslavia, in particular in the 1920s and 1930s. The analysis of their discourses is interpreted in terms of the concept of Dalmatia within a wider Mediterranean basin which also refers to two diverse conceptualizations of Yugoslavism, cultural and politi- cal. Meštrović’s vision of Dalmatia/Croatia/Yugoslavia was based on his rural hinterland idiom enabling him to embrace racial and cultural Yugoslavism. In contrast, Radica, in spite of having a pro-Yugoslav orientation during the same period, did not believe in race, so for him the idea of Croat-Serb unity was more a political issue (to a lesser extent a cultural one). Keywords: Dalmatia, Yugoslav-Italian relationships, Croatianness, Yugoslavism, Bor- derlands Parole chiave: Dalmazia, Relazioni Jugoslavia-Italia, Croaticità, Jugoslavismo, Aree di confine Introduction This article takes into consideration the activity and discourses of the sculptor Ivan Meštrović and the journalist Bogdan Radica1. The choice of these two figures from Dalmatia, though very different in terms of their profession and political status in the interwar Yugoslav state (1918-41), has an important justification. Not only they both were influenced by Italian culture and heritage (displaying the typical Dalmatian ambivalence towards politics), but they also evaluated Italian heritage and politics in the Croatian/Yugoslav public sphere.

  • Airspace Transcript Season 4, Episode 9 Chicago Flyer
    AirSpace Podcast Season 4, Episode 9: Chicago Flyer Theme music up and under Matt: Welcome to AirSpace from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, I'm Matt. Emily: I'm Emily. Nick: And I'm Nick. Emily: In the early days of aviation flying was expensive and dangerous. And even if you could come up with the money, there were often establishment barriers like racism and sexism in the way. Matt: In Chicago, a group of Black aviators who called themselves the Challenger Air Pilots Association, created a club and a community that has since helped thousands of Black pilots learn to fly. Nick: And when the government started to invest in civilian and military pilot training programs, the Challenger Club was instrumental in lobbying to include Black aviators in those programs. Emily: We're looking back to the 1930s in the skies above Chicago today on AirSpace. Theme music up and out Emily: So the story of what becomes the Challenger Air Pilots Association starts off with two auto mechanics, and a broken down car in Detroit, Michigan. Nick: If we were making a movie out of this, this would be a really fun scene in the first act. This would be where it all starts to come together. So we've got these two mechanics, Cornelius Coffey, and John C. Robinson. And before this moment, they've got sort of similar paths to each other, but also to what we normally hear as the genesis of a great aviator or pilot later on. They either rode in an airplane at an early age, or they saw a barnstormer at an early age, and they're both interested in this.

    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

  • Racial Exclusion and Italian Identity Construction Through Citizenship Law
    L’Altro in Italia: Racial Exclusion and Italian Identity Construction through Citizenship Law Ariel Gizzi An Honors Thesis for the Department of International Relations Tufts University, 2018 ii Acknowledgements Over the course of this thesis, I received academic and personal support from various professors and scholars, including but not limited to: Cristina Pausini, Kristina Aikens, Anne Moore, Consuelo Cruz, Medhin Paolos, Lorgia García Peña, David Art, Richard Eichenberg, and Lisa Lowe. I also want to mention the friends and fellow thesis writers with whom I passed many hours in the library: Joseph Tsuboi, Henry Jani, Jack Ronan, Ian James, Francesca Kamio, and Tashi Wangchuk. Most importantly, this thesis could not have happened without the wisdom and encouragement of Deirdre Judge. Deirdre and I met in October of my senior year, when I was struggling to make sense of what I was even trying to write about. With her guidance, I set deadlines for myself, studied critical theory, and made substantial revisions to each draft I produced. She is truly a remarkable scholar and mentor who I know will accomplish great things in her life. And lastly, thank you to my parents, who have always supported me in every academic and personal endeavor, most of which are related in some way or another to Italy.
