  • Some Pictures in Ammianus Marcellinus
    SOME PICTURES IN AMMIANUS MARCELLINUS RAMSAY MAcMULLEN R EADERSof Ammianus are struck by the pattern which certain scenes of greeting follow (2 . Io, i, etc.), in an author who tries so hard to avoid pattern and repetition: a personage approaches a city; the populace streams out to receive him with torches and flowers; troops and senators cluster around; there are shouts hailing his presence and virtues; and thus accom- panied he enters the city gates. From other sources, however, we know that such occasions, through a very long history, had accumulated features which were indeed patterned, which included also details passed over by Ammianus such as chants and incense, and which were advertised to a larger audience in imperial coinage or in inscriptions set up by the local magistrates.' It would be interesting to find out how deeply into the society of Ammianus' time the impression of such events penetrated, and whether they were imposed by the rulers of the Dominate from above or whether they satisfied more widespread tastes. They are prominent enough in art, notably in relief sculpture; but most surviving art presents us with emperors, consuls, saints, great patrons. It is natural to attribute to the high position of men like these the qualities so often detected in the works they commissioned: grandiloquence, pose, theatricality, and dramatic richness. The present paper, however, pursues these qualities beyond painting and sculpture, into other forms and customs, and into lower levels of society. Its object is to add the support of some social history to the history of art; its conclusion is that, far from being isolated in the upper classes, fourth century art reflected with fair accuracy the enthusiasms and tastes of a popular audience.

  • How to Become a Certified Pop Diva Without Losing Your Indie Boyfriend
    m Drea Olivia Stren By Girl How to become a certified pop diva without losing your indie boyfriend. by Davida Nemeroff The unstoppablePhotography ambition of Feist eslie feist is sitting quietly in a booth at the Rivoli. She has a soft spot for the restaurant, since she used to work here as a bartender, before she had to worry about major-label record deals and fanatically coordinated PR campaigns. Her hair is tied up in a schoolgirl ponytail, lips smudged L with cherry gloss, nails dressed in chipping remnants of last week’s scarlet polish. She is busy assembling a care package of miniature ’70s vintage clothes (picked up on a recent trip through London’s Portobello market) for a friend’s new baby. Even her baby presents are perfectly indie. The 31-year-old singer is pale and looks a bit tired, which gives her a dreamy, hard-living alt-rock sex appeal. If her tight pale-blue jeans and well-pilled woollen sweater look like they’ve spent the better part of their nomadic lives heaped on hotel room floors, it’s because they have. Feist is Canada’s reigning indie-music princess, but she’s wooing a broader audience. Let It Die, her last album, sold over 100,000 copies in Canada and another 400,000 worldwide, earn- ing her a Juno for best new artist and best alternative album.

Xavier University, 1992 Committee: Dr. Robert Burroughs (chair) Dr. Keith Barton Dr. Holly Johnson Dr. Eric Paulson 1 ABSTRACT There are many learners who find it difficult to navigate in strictly verbocentric classrooms where reading and writing are the central, and sometimes only, means by which students can explore and construct meaning, as well as express their understanding of literary texts. This qualitative study focused on two English classrooms in a secondary school where students were encouraged to utilize alternative response activities in order to make connections to literary texts. One class consisted of advanced placement eleventh grade students; the other class included eleventh and twelfth grade students who had been identified as “struggling” readers, based on their inability to pass the State Graduation Test. The study’s purpose was to establish and compare the types of connections the two classes of secondary students made with literary texts when they were asked to create a musical soundtrack and accompanying narrative for an assigned literary text.
