About Utraque Unum Lady Justice in Her Library, by Sarah Jiang (COL ’21) Since it was founded by students of the Tocqueville Forum in 2007, the editors of Utraque Unum have worked to provide you with the best student scholarship Georgetown University has to offer. The purpose of the journal is not only to celebrate student scholarship and acquaint stu- dents with the tasks of serious writing and editing, but also to encourage reflection on complex problems in politics, in culture, and in life on the Hilltop. We strive to facilitate productive, meaningful, and judicious discourse, and believe that undergraduates represent an oft-over- looked source of thought and analysis. Within these pages, you will find essays on political theory and politics, history, philosophy and theology, arts and culture, and campus life and liberal learning.

II, by Jonathan Marrow . 74 The Editor’s Desk ear Reader, I started writing in books in earnest soon after I came to Georgetown. Before college, I Dsaw it as a taboo activity, only acceptable with well-worn books already heavily highlighted or underlined. I remember returning my lightly-marked up copy of Dubliners to my 12th grade English teacher, prepared to deny everything, or possibly to flee the classroom, if she happened to page through it. Now, two and a half years later, it is hard for me to read a book without a pencil in my hand, underlining especially meaningful passages and furiously scribbling messy notes in the margins. This activity changes the text in a literal, physical sense, as the pages come to contain markings and words which the author did not put there. I believe that it also changes the text in a more substantial sense. Writing in a book captures the unique relationship between yourself and the words on the page. It creates a new text which is preserved for you to discover later, whether you are revisiting the book after many years or returning to an assigned text for a final paper. Nowhere is the value of writing in books clearer to me than when I have reread a book I previ- ously marked up. In addition to comments on certain passages and connections to other works, I often write the names of friends or family members in the margins of a text, and even ideas from conversations of which the book reminded me. These comments are always a joy to rediscover. They contain a mixture of humorously ‘earth-shattering’ insights which I have long since moved past, serious thoughts that produce deep reflection, and memories I frequently find that I have forgotten. They give me glimpses of how I thought about the book in the context of my life when I first read it, and even of who I was then. At Georgetown, we hear a lot about the virtues of “dialogue,” which adopts many forms. Class discussions, panel events, and political debates are all different types of dialogue which push us to explain our views and defend our positions. The university administration frequently reminds the student body of its commitment to diversity, which it pursues at least in part to improve our edu- cational experience by encouraging dialogue between students from different cultural backgrounds. In my Intro to Philosophy class, I learned that Plato’s philosophical works take the form of conversa- tions between people earnestly seeking the truth. Each of these types of dialogue between individu- als is important. However, by writing in books, I hope to stimulate dialogue both between myself and the text and, crucially, between myself as I was and myself as I am now. In her essay “On Keep- ing a Notebook,” Joan Didion writes, “I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be whether we find them attractive company or not.” I wholeheartedly second that idea, with one modification: I think it is important to keep on speaking terms with the people we used to be, to the extent that it is possible to do so. I have found education, and particularly my time in college, to be an intensely personal process characterized by large identity shifts. I am not the same person who I was when I started college. One major purpose of education is to take these in- evitable personal changes in hand—to control who we are today and who we will become tomorrow. It is easy to lose ourselves amidst the hectic pace of life on the Hilltop. We can get so wrapped up in our work and in dialogue with others, whether academic or social, that we neglect to look within. There are many ways to do this. Some people keep a journal, while others meditate. The Jesuits have the Daily Examen, with which they reflect on the day, seek God’s presence in their lives, and look to tomorrow. I write in books, to keep a record of who I used to be and of the ideas and passions I had at a particular moment in my life. It helps me trace how I became the person I am now, and maybe even helps me decide who I will be in the future. As you read the fantastic articles in this semester’s edition of Utraque Unum, I hope you reach insights that carry not only intellectual, but also personal significance. The work that follows in this journal is well worth marking up and revisiting. For that I have the authors to thank: each of them dedicated themselves to painstakingly perfecting papers that were already excellent, a crucial yet taxing activity which I consider the most difficult step of the writing process. I owe a great debt of gratitude to Jake Dyson, whose unmatched hard work over the past two years has ensured that the journal is not only still alive but thriving. To Jake and to our other seniors, Benjamin Brazzel and William Leo, I wish the best of luck, although none of them will need it.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

As the exploration party is about to complete its mission, they find out that they are not alone on the planet. The presence who tries to make contact with the exploration team is that very same Kid – the sole survivor of the Pilgrim catastrophe. It turns out that the Kid was saved and raised by a local species very much unlike human beings. These aliens raised the Kid into someone not quite human. They saved him not out of humane considerations, but to use him as a negotiator to dissuade outside civilizations from ever attempting to reach this planet.

  • Tarkovsky's Musical Aesthetic in the Context of the Sonic Arts

    Tarkovsky's Musical Aesthetic in the Context of the Sonic Arts

    ESSAY The Music of Sound Tarkovsky’s Musical Aesthetic in the Context of the Sonic Arts VOL. 110 (DECEMBER 2020) BY FLORIAN HOLLERWEGER In his book Sculpting in Time, Andrei Tarkovsky distills the essence of his perspective on cinematic sound into the following statement:​1​ Above all, I feel that the sounds of this world are so beautiful in themselves that if only we could learn to listen to them properly, cinema would have no need of music at all. This aesthetic is directly reflected in Tarkovsky’s oeuvre, such as in the extremely sparse use of film music in the traditional sense in his films Solaris (1972), Stalker (1979), and The Sacrifice (1986). Without additional context, Tarkovsky’s statement could therefore be understood to stand in contradiction to this special issue’s premise that music forms “an intricate component” of Russian cinema that is “weaved into” the very fabric of its films. The following account of a conversation with Tarkovsky by his musical collaborator Eduard Artemyev seems to further support such an argument.​2​ He [Tarkovsky] said: “[…] I do not need an ordinary film music. I cannot stand it, and I do my utmost in order to escape it …” […] In short, he told me at length and eloquently how he didn’t need film music – all these overtures, main themes, lyric songs… “Only ambience, only organisation of sounds and noises […].” These words could be interpreted as a rejection of the use of music in film altogether. In contrast to such a reading, however, I will argue that Tarkovsky’s vision of an “organisation of sounds and noises” exhibits remarkable parallels to larger developments in musical aesthetics of his time.
