Houghton-Milieu Fall-2008.Pdf (8.735Mb) ONE WILLARD AVENUE Are Science and Religion at War? by 5/zirlry A. M11/le11 '76 0 NE OF THE TRAGEDIES OF OUR TIME is the popular perception that science and religion are at war. lt is perhaps a forgivable perception given the standard treat­ ments of the topic in high school history texts and given the media attention to events that keep the perception alive, but it is just that-a perception. Since early in its history, Houghton has been committed to replacing that perception with reality. The sciences, in fact, emerged historically in the context of communities of faith, where people believed in an orderly universe designed by a Creator God. The sciences flourished where they were understood as part of God's mandate to steward the gift of God's creation. We cannot steward what we do not understand. It is certainly true that, in the past 200 years, the sciences have been the means through which human beings have acquired great technical power, and with that power the temptation to forget that we are stewards of the garden and not the Gardener. At Christian liberal arts colleges like Houghton we have the best opportunity to put the sciences in their proper perspective. They are the means by which hu­ man beings acquire the power to do great good-to facilitate healing, to increase food production, to harness new energy sources and more. They are also, increas­ Jngly, the most global and interconnected of the academic disciplines. Science and technology-more than ever-provide opportunities for global engagement. furthermore, one cannot credibly engage most of the world's major moral and social issues without significant scientific understanding. Consider the issues of abortion, euthanasia and genetic engineering to name only the most obvious examples. We know, however, that the sciences cannot answer the most fundamental human questions of meaning and purpose. They cannot make people good. They contribute most to human flourishing when they exist side-by-side with the gifts of art, music and literature and with the insights of moral and theological re0ec­ tion. Even to make these points effectively, however, requires an understanding of sciences. We cannot be offering a larger vision of the sciences-or of life-un­ less we are conversant and competent in the sciences themselves. So on this, our 12S•h anniversary, as we commit ourselves to be true to Wil­ lard J. Hough ton's vision to "fix up the world" for Jesus Christ, we declare boldly our intent to engage the sciences as a crucial part of that vision. The sciences are part of Hough ton's story. We believe it is our calling here at the beginning of the 21" century to bring to light the role of the sciences in the larger story of the Kingdom.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.

    TRANSPORTS OF IMAGINATION: POETRY AND THE REHABILITATION OF EXPERIENCE, 1830–1860 Martin Dawson A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. in the Carolina-Duke Graduate Program in German Studies Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Gabriel Trop Eric Downing Stefani Engelstein Aleksandra Prica Christina Weiler © 2021 Martin Dawson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Martin Dawson: Transports of Imagination: Poetry and the Rehabilitation of Experience, 1830-1860 (Under the direction of Gabriel Trop) This dissertation examines how poets of the German late romantic and restoration periods between 1830 and 1860 disrupt the systematizing drive of technological, cultural, and industrial advancements during the nineteenth century in Germany by establishing connections with the past: both a large-scale geological past and discrete historical moments. My dissertation focuses on the lyric works of Joseph von Eichendorff, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, and Eduard Mörike. Often read as nostalgic, quietist, or political conservatives, I argue that their works enact in their readers an experiential, temporal expansion in contact with modes of "pastness" that can in turn serve as a normative standpoint of critique and explore alternative forms of experience. The first chapter examines how Eichendorff’s transformative poetic practice that at once emphasizes the disruptive and connective potential of acts of "transcription." Transcription involves writing that crosses boundaries: from nature to text (in lyric); from life to text (in autobiography); or from text to text (in translation). In these different domains, I show how Eichendorff' creates texts that at once transcend the life and context of their creator and bear his unmistakable character.
