A BETTER WAY to BUILD DEMOCRACY Instructor: Doug Mcgetchin, Ph.D
Non-Violent Power in Action A BETTER WAY TO BUILD DEMOCRACY Instructor: Doug McGetchin, Ph.D. Stopping the deportation of Jewish spouses in Nazi Berlin, the liberation of India, fighting for Civil Rights in the U.S., the fall of the Berlin Wall, the ouster of Serbia’s Milosevic and the recent Arab Awakening, all have come about through non-violent means. Most people are unaware of non-violent power, as the use of force gains much greater attention in the press. This lecture explains the effectiveness of non-violent resistance by examining multiple cases of nonviolence struggle with the aim of understanding the principles that led to their success. Using these tools, you can help create a more peaceful and democratic world. Thursday, April 20 • 9:45 –11:15 am $25/member; $35/non-member Doug McGetchin, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of History at Florida Atlantic University where he specializes in the history of the international connections between modern Germany and South Asia. He is the author of “Indology, Indomania, Orientalism: Ancient India’s Rebirth in Modern Germany” (2009) and several edited volumes (2004, 2014) on German-Indian connections. He has presented papers at academic conferences in North America, Europe, and India, including the German Studies Association, the World History Association and the International Conference of Asian Scholars (Berlin). He is a recipient of a Nehru- Fulbright senior research grant to Kolkata (Calcutta), India and a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) grant to Leipzig, Germany, and has won multiple teaching awards.

On Russian Music Might Win It
37509_u01.qxd 5/19/08 4:04 PM Page 27 1 Some Thoughts on the History and Historiography of Russian Music A preliminary version of this chapter was read as a paper in a symposium or- ganized by Malcolm H. Brown on “Fifty Years of American Research in Slavic Music,” given at the fiftieth national meeting of the American Musicological Society, on 27 October 1984. The other participants in the symposium and their topics were Barbara Krader (Slavic Ethnic Musics), Milos Velimirovic (Slavic Church Music), Malcolm H. Brown (Russian Music—What Has Been Done), Laurel Fay (The Special Case of Soviet Music—Problems of Method- ology), and Michael Beckerman (Czech Music Research). Margarita Mazo served as respondent. My assigned topic for this symposium was “What Is to Be Done,” but being no Chernïshevsky, still less a Lenin, I took it on with reluctance. I know only too well the fate of research prospectuses. All the ones I’ve seen, whatever the field, have within only a few years taken on an aspect that can be most charitably described as quaint, and the ones that have attempted to dictate or legislate the activity of future generations of scholars cannot be so charitably described. It is not as though we were trying to find a long- sought medical cure or a solution to the arms race. We are not crusaders, nor have we an overriding common goal that demands the subordina- tion of our individual predilections to a team effort. We are simply curious to know and understand the music that interests us as well as we possibly can, and eager to stimulate the same interest in others. -

Laws in Metaphysics
LAWS IN METAPHYSICS BY TOBIAS WILSCH A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School—New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Philosophy Written under the direction of Jonathan Schaffer and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Laws in Metaphysics By TOBIAS WILSCH Dissertation director: Jonathan Schaffer The first two chapters of this dissertation defend the Deductive-Nomological Account of metaphysical explanation. Chapter 1 develops the Nomological Account of ground, – p1, …, pn ground q if and only if the laws of metaphysics determine q on the basis of p1, …, pn, – and the constructional theory of the metaphysical laws, – the laws are general principles that characterize construction-operations. Chapter 2 offers an analysis of the notion of determination involved in the Nomological Account: the laws determine q based on p1, …, pn if and only if q follows from p1, …, pn and the laws in the grounding-calculus. The grounding-calculus is characterized in terms of two inference rules and a suitable notion of ‘proof’. The rules are designed to analyze the input- and output notions that are intuitively associated with laws: the laws take some facts as input and deliver some other facts as output. ii Chapters 1 and 2 also go beyond the development of the positive view. Chapter 1 shows how the Nomological Account explains general patterns among grounding-truths, the modal force of ground, and certain connections between ground and construction. Chapter 2 shows why the Deductive-Nomological Account of metaphysical explanation escapes the objections to the traditional DN-account of scientific explanation, and it also outlines two views on logical explanation that are available to the proponent of the Nomological Account. -

For its 2013 edition, Europalia has invited India. Europalia has already presented the rich culture of other BRIC countries in previous festivals: europalia.russia in 2005, europalia.china in 2009 and europalia.brasil in 2011. Europalia.india comes as a logical sequel. India has become an important player in today’s globalised world. Spontaneously India is associated with powerful economical driving force. The Indian economy is very attractive and witnesses an explosion of foreign investments. But India is also a great cultural power. The largest democracy in the world is a unique mosaic of peoples, languages, religions and ancient traditions; resulting from 5000 years of history. India is a land of contrasts. A young republic with a modern, liberal economy but also a land with an enormous historical wealth: the dazzling Taj Mahal, the maharajas, beautiful temples and palaces and countless stories to inspire our imagination. -
Aesthetics, Subjectivity, and Classical Sanskrit Women Poets
Voices from the Margins: Aesthetics, Subjectivity, and Classical Sanskrit Women Poets by Kathryn Marie Sloane Geddes B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2016 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2018 © Kathryn Marie Sloane Geddes 2018 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, a thesis/dissertation entitled: Voices from the Margins: Aesthetics, Subjectivity, and Classical Sanskrit Women Poets submitted by Kathryn Marie Sloane Geddes in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Asian Studies Examining Committee: Adheesh Sathaye, Asian Studies Supervisor Thomas Hunter, Asian Studies Supervisory Committee Member Anne Murphy, Asian Studies Supervisory Committee Member Additional Examiner ii Abstract In this thesis, I discuss classical Sanskrit women poets and propose an alternative reading of two specific women’s works as a way to complicate current readings of Classical Sanskrit women’s poetry. I begin by situating my work in current scholarship on Classical Sanskrit women poets which discusses women’s works collectively and sees women’s work as writing with alternative literary aesthetics. Through a close reading of two women poets (c. 400 CE-900 CE) who are often linked, I will show how these women were both writing for a courtly, educated audience and argue that they have different authorial voices. In my analysis, I pay close attention to subjectivity and style, employing the frameworks of Sanskrit aesthetic theory and Classical Sanskrit literary conventions in my close readings. -

On the Question of the Main Concepts and Theories of the Origin of the State
Law/1. Theory of State and Law Zhadan V. N. PhD in Law, Associate Professor Kazan Federal University, Elabuga Institute, Russia ON THE QUESTION OF THE MAIN CONCEPTS AND THEORIES OF THE ORIGIN OF THE STATE Abstract. The article is devoted to the discussion of the main concepts and theories of the origin of the state based on the analysis of General theoretical provisions of legal science, scientific approaches and author's understanding. Key words: question, basic, concept, theory, origin, state, analysis, General theoretical provisions, approaches. In the science of state and law (and especially the theory of state and law), there are many scientific materials that consider the laws of the origin, development and functioning of the state and law, historical types, forms, functions and other aspects that characterize the state and law [1-2]. Many scientists specializing in the theory of state and law (and in other areas of scientific research) offer their views on the theoretical characteristics of the state and law, their features, state-political forms and functions, and many other aspects, which does not deprive the author to Express his opinion on some issues related to the discussion of the origin of the state. The subject of this review will be questions about the main concepts and theories of the origin of the state. Based on the research subject of interest the following questions: what is a theory of the origin of the state; what the right science is called basic theory of the origin of the state; what are the terms "concept" and "theory"; which is accepted to highlight the concepts and theories of the origin of the state; how key concepts and theories explain the emergence of the state? The author shares the scientific approach that the study of theories of the origin of the state (and law) is not only cognitive (theoretical), but also political and practical in nature [3, p. -
