  • Human Security and Mutual Vulnerability an Exploration Into the Global Political Economy of Development and Underdevelopment (1St Edition)
    Human Security and Mutual Vulnerability An Exploration into the Global Political Economy of Development and Underdevelopment (1st edition) by Jorge Nef IDRC 1995, 110 pp., ISBN 0-88936-795-7 Jorge Nef responds to one of the most pressing intellectual challenges of the post-Cold War era: the search for an analytical framework that will help us understand this turbulent and chaotic period in human history. His lucid and visionary analysis rests on the concept of mutual vulnerability: that in an increasingly interdependent world, global security is only as strong as the weakest link in the chain. The Author Jorge Nef, PhD, is currently professor of political studies and international development at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. He has been a visiting professor both in Canadian and foreign universities and institutes and is a past president of the Canadian Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CALACS). Professor Nef is a Fellow of the Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC) and the Centre for Refugee Studies (CRS), both at York University. In addition, he is currently the Editor of the Canadian Joumal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies. His numerous publications, including books, journal articles, and book chapters, deal with development issues, food security, terrorism, ethics and technology, comparative public administration, authoritarian regimes, social theory, international relations and Latin American politics. Professor Nef has worked as a consultant or cooperant with various national and international agencies in the field of international development (UN- PAHO, CIDA, and IDRC). He also represented IDRC as Canadian delegate to the Expert Groups of the South Commission in Geneva in 1989.

THE NEW SINCERITY IN AMERICAN LITERATURE BY MATTHEW J. BALLIRO A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2018 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DISSERTATION OF Matthew J. Billaro APPROVED: Dissertation Committee: Major Professor Naomi Mandel Ryan Trimm Robert Widdell Nasser H. Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2018 Abstract The New Sincerity is a provocative mode of literary interpretation that focuses intensely on coherent connections that texts can build with readers who are primed to seek out narratives and literary works that rest on clear and stable relationships between dialectics of interior/exterior, self/others, and meaning/expression. Studies on The New Sincerity so far have focused on how it should be situated against dominant literary movements such as postmodernism. My dissertation aims for a more positive definition, unfolding the most essential details of The New Sincerity in three parts: by exploring the intellectual history of the term “sincerity” and related ideas (such as authenticity); by establishing the historical context that created the conditions that led to The New Sincerity’s genesis in the 1990s; and by tracing the different forms reading with The New Sincerity can take by analyzing a diverse body of literary texts.
