TABLE OF CONTENTS Assembled by the Gurdjieff Foundation of Illinois with permission from The Society for the Study of Myth and Tradition, Inc. INSTRUCTIONS BACKGROUND Four times a year, since 1976, Parabola Magazine has brought us essays, fiction, reviews, interviews and artwork from around the world. Each issue has focused on one topic or theme to be explored from a variety of perspectives. We believe that Parabola Magazine issues from 40 years ago continue to be highly relevant to today’s seekers of truth. Recognizing that the many treasures buried in Parabola Magazine were indeed buried, we offer this searchable electronic index of every issue published by the Society for the Study of Myth and Tradition, Inc. It is our intent to continually update this file as new issues are released. THE PRODUCT The Topical Index lists each issue of Parabola Magazine with the topical description (assigned by Parabola), date, and volume/issue number. The Tables of Content have been enhanced to include significant items that were not identified on the printed Table of Contents pages including many book reviews which are often fascinating essays. SPECIAL FEATURES 1. If you click on a topic name in the Topical Index you will be taken instantly to the corresponding Table of Contents page. Simply scroll up to return to the Topical Index. 2. At the top of each Table of Contents page, you may click this icon: In a few seconds, you will be taken to the page on Parabola’s website where, with a few clicks, you may buy a hard copy or digital version of that issue. 3. Using your browser’s “Find” feature, you can locate authors, titles, or any word or phrase throughout all of the Table of Contents pages. So, for example, if you entered Needleman, you will quickly receive a list of Table of Contents pages referencing Jacob Needleman including articles and book review from 1985, and another article from 2015. By clicking on any of the items on the list, you will go to the appropriate Table of Contents page. A. How to get to the “Find” feature depends on your operating system. You may need to click on a 3-dot or 3- parallel-line symbol in the upper right corner of your screen and then click “Find.” B. Experiment with your search criteria for the best results. For example, if you were to enter the word pain, you would find several instances of painting! Hitting your space bar after pain will eliminate some unwanted “hits.” Topical Index Topic Volume/ DATE Topic Volume/ DATE Number Number The Hero 1/1 Winter 1976 The Knight and the Hermit 12/1 Spring 1987 Magic 1/2 Spring 1976 Addiction 12/2 Summer 1987 Initiation 1/3 Summer 1976 Forgiveness 12/3 Fall 1987 Rites of Passage 1/4 Fall 1976 The Sense of Humor 12/4 Winter 1987 Death 2/1 Winter 1977 The Creative Response 13/1 Spring 1988 Creation 2/2 Spring 1977 Repetition and Renewal 13/2 Summer 1988 Cosmology 2/3 Summer 1977 Questions 13/3 Fall 1988 Relationships 2/4 Fall 1977 The Mountain 13/4 Winter 1988 Sacred Space 3/1 Spring 1978 Disciples and Discipline 14/1 Spring 1989 Sacrifice and 3/2 Summer 1978 Tradition and Transmission 14/2 Summer 1989 Transformation Inner Alchemy 3/3 Fall 1978 The Tree of Life 14/3 Fall 1989 Androgyny 3/4 Winter 1978 Triad 14/4 Winter 1989 The Trickster 4/1 Spring 1979 Time and Presence 15/1 Spring 1990 Sacred Dance 4/2 Summer 1979 Attention 15/2 Summer 1990 The Child 4/3 Fall 1979 Liberation 15/3 Fall 1990 Storytelling and 4/4 Winter 1979 Hospitality 15/4 Winter 1990 Education The Old Ones 5/1 Spring 1980 Money 16/1 Spring 1991 Music, Sound, Silence 5/2 Summer 1980 The Hunter 16/2 Summer 1991 Obstacles 5/3 Fall 1980 Craft 16/3 Fall 1991 Woman 5/4 Winter 1980 The Golden Mean 16/4 Winter 1991 Earth and Spirit 6/1 Spring 1981 Solitude and Community 17/1 Spring 1992 The Dream of Progress 6/2 Summer 1981 Labyrinth 17/2 Summer 1992 Mask & Metaphor 6/3 Fall 1981 The Oral Tradition 17/3 Fall 1992 Demons 6/4 Winter 1981 Power and Energy 17/4 Winter 1992 Sleep 7/1 Spring 1982 Healing 18/1 Spring 1993 Dreams and Seeing 7/2 Summer 1982 Place and Space 18/2 Summer 1993 Ceremonies 7/3 Fall 1982 Crossroads 18/3 Fall 1993 Holy War 7/4 Winter 1982 The City 18/4 Winter 1993 Guilt 8/1 Spring 1983 The Call 19/1 Spring 1994 Animals 8/2 Summer 1983 Twins 19/2 Summer 1994 Words of Power 8/3 Fall 1983 Clothing 19/3 Fall 1994 Sun and Moon 8/4 Winter 1983 Hidden Treasure 19/4 Winter 1994 Hierarchy 9/1 Spring 1984 Earth, Air, Fire, Water 20/1 Spring 1995 Theft 9/2 Summer 1984 The Stranger 20/2 Summer 1995 Pilgrimage 9/3 Fall 1984 Language and Meaning 20/3 Fall 1995 Food 9/4 Winter 1984 Eros 20/4 Winter 1995 Wholeness 10/1 Spring 1985 Prophets and Prophecy 21/1 Spring 1996 Exile 10/2 Summer 1985 The Soul 21/2 Summer 1996 The Body 10/3 Fall 1985 Peace 21/3 Fall 1996 The Seven Deadly Sins 10/4 Winter 1985 Play and Work 21/4 Winter 1996 The Witness 11/1 Spring 1986 Ways of Knowing 22/1 Spring 1997 Mirrors 11/2 Summer 1986 The Shadow 22/2 Summer 1997 Sadness 11/3 Fall 1986 Conscience and Consciousness 22/3 Fall 1997 Memory and Forgetting 11/4 Winter 1986 Miracles 22/4 Winter 1997 2.

There have been exciting developments for the KMS since our first issue last December. Thanks to the hard work of our Secretary Tracey MacLeod (and you can read all about her on page 11), we became legally constituted as a charitable trust under the New Zealand Charitable Act 1957 and have applied to the New Zealand Charities Commission to confirm our charitable status. The Society was officially launched in January and quickly picked up by the global press, con- firming what we already knew – that KM continues to be read and loved the world over! Our website is now live and if you haven’t done so already check it out at www.katherinemansfieldsociety.org. You’ll find information about the Society and how to join. The KMS will host a symposium at Menton on 25 September 2009 during a week of celebra- tions marking the 40th anniversary of the Katherine Mansfield Memorial Fellowship.

    ENCOUNTERING THE GODDESS IN INDIA Religion 220 Dr. Joel R. Smith Spring, 2012 Skidmore College An introduction to the Hindu religious culture of India through a study of major Hindu goddesses. The vision (darsan) of and devotion (bhakti) to the feminine divine image will be explored in terms of both the Goddess worshipped in her own right independently of any male god, and goddesses worshipped as the spouse or consort of a male god. An interdisciplinary approach will explore the religious meaning of the Hindu goddess in literature, painting, poetry, ritual, and sculpture. Learning Goals: (1) Learn about the meaning of the major Hindu Goddesses of India: their history, scriptures, myths, rituals, iconography, and symbolism. (2) Place the Goddesses and devotion to them in the context of other kinds of Hindu religious movements. (3) Learn about the culture of India through the study of Hindu Goddesses. (4) Develop critical concepts and methodologies for the study of religions in India and elsewhere. (5) Practice subtle reading, writing, and analytical skills, including critical evaluation, by discussing readings in class and by writing essays about them. (6) Consider feminist aspects of the Goddesses and their relevance for non-Hindu Westerners, especially women. Office Hours: I would be delighted to talk with you outside of class. Make an appointment or stop by during my office hours: Monday & Wednesday: 4:30- 5:30 p.m. Tuesday & Thursday: 5:00- 6:00 p.m. Friday: 11:00-12:00 a.m. (other times by appointment) Office: Ladd 217 Email: [email protected] Office Phone: (518) 580-5407 (Please don’t call me at home.)

    THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN PRECARITY By Anna L. Green A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of English—Doctor of Philosophy 2020 ABSTRACT THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN PRECARITY By Anna L. Green Art historian Hal Foster points out that “Precarity has come to figure in sociological discourse, where it is used to describe the situation of a vast number of laborers in neo-liberal capitalism whose employment… is anything but guaranteed. This ‘precariat’ is seen as a product of the post-Fordist economy,” historically rooting precarity in the emergence of late-stage capitalism’s ever more unstable labor economy and the concomitant problems of poverty, displacement, and contingency. Yet Foster also admits, that despite our present sense of “emergency,” “precarity might be more the rule” and stability the exception, acknowledging that Modernist art too was marked by an overriding sense of chaos. In doing so, he casts precarity not as a novel condition but as a continuing phenomenon whose traumatic consequences undeniably mark and shape twentieth-century literature and art. Following Foster’s implications, this dissertation traces the emergence of precarity as an aesthetic sensibility that emerges with the earliest moments of consumer culture’s entrenchment with urban life and sociability. Responding to capitalism’s increasing ability to ratify the terms of personhood through regimes of bodily control, spatial regimentation, and visual policing, the artists examined in this project turn to precarity as an aesthetic rubric that resists these processes of reification. Pursuing methodologies of contingency, temporariness, and obsolescence, their projects—spanning from American Dada to post-war assemblage—thematically represent and formally recreate the instabilities of those who occupy subject positions made vulnerable by capitalism.

    DVPR 30201: Indian Philosophy I: Origins and Orientations (IDENT. RLST 24201, SALC 20901/3090, HREL 30200) Winter term, 2018 T/Th, 9:30-10:50 Swift Hall 201 Instructor, office hours: Dan Arnold ([email protected]), availablE in officE (Swift 401A) Thursdays, 3:00-5:00pm; for an appointMEnt, sign up on the sheEt kept in the Martin Marty CentEr by Julia Ivory-Woods (702-7049) Course Teaching Assistant: Dhruv Nagar ([email protected]) Syllabus online at: <http://homE.uchicago.edu/~daarnold/Indian_Phil2019.pdf> Conception of the Course: This coursE introducEs somE of the early theMEs and tExtual traditions that sEt much of the agenda for the latEr developmEnt of Indian philosophy. Although tExts such as the Early Upaniṣads are rather too oftEn taken to typify “Indian philosophy,” Much of what wE read particularly in the first half of the tErm Might be bettEr charactErizEd as “quasi-philosophical” – as pregnant with philosophically significant insights and reflEctions, but not yet systEMatic in the ways that will charactErizE the Indian philosophical tradition from about the fifth cEntury CE, onward. NEverthelEss, Most of the viEws developed with increasing sophistication latEr in the tradition can be recognizEd as stEMMing from divergent intuitions first laid down in the earliEst, quasi-philosophical tExts. Tracing the early developmEnt of somE of thesE, wE will take somE soundings in a few of the divergent “schools” or (more litErally) “perspectives” (darśanas) that provide the principal rubrics for latEr philosophical discoursE – in particular, in influential works from a few Brahmanical traditions of thought (Sāṃkhya, Nyāya, and Pūrva MīMāṃsā), as wEll as from the Buddhist and other non- Brahmanical traditions that wEre so influential for the history of Indian philosophy.
