From 1838 to 1893, the Church in the old Indian Territory was committed to the ecclesiastical jurisdiction, first of the Missionary Bishop of the Southwest, and later of the Bishop of Arkansas. The General Convention of the Church which convened at Philadelphia on August 19, 1835, created the Missionary District of the Southwest, which embraced the States of Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the Republic of Texas. The Indian Territory, embracing what is today the State of Oklahoma, save the panhandle, and which had been created by a recent Act of Congress, was also included within this district. The Rev. Leonidas Polk,1 the young rector of St. Peter's Church at Columbia, Tennessee, was consecrated the first Missionary Bishop of the newly created district, on December 9, 1838, at Cincinnati, and served as such until October 16, 1841, when he became the initial Bishop of the Diocese of Louisiana.

    MAINTAINING INJUSTICE: LITERARY REPRESENTATIONS OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM C1400 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kathleen Erin Kennedy, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Professor Richard Firth Green, Advisor Approved by Professor Lisa Kiser Professor Ethan Knapp ________________________ Professor Karen Winstead Department of English Copyright by Kathleen E. Kennedy 2004 ABSTRACT Medieval English authors often regard aspects of the legal system to be in conflict with an endemic cultural practice, maintenance. Simply put, maintenance was the payment of a form of salary to a high-level servant by a lord. The salary this servant (or affine) might receive could consist of cash-payments, gifts, or access to lucrative official positions, including the proxy enjoyment of some portion of the lord’s judicial rights. The more lavish the assistance, the more the lord honored the retainer. Obviously, the mutual ties of aid and loyalty between a lord and an affine threatened impartial justice at every level, and medieval authors strove both to bring its abuses to light, and to offer alternatives. Each of my chapters sheds light on how late fourteenth-century authors articulated the relationship between different legal institutions and maintenance. I begin by showing how the events in one of the more obscure Canterbury Tales, the Tale of Melibee, resemble a popular out-of-court settlement practice called accord. Chaucer blamed a contemporary practice called maintenance, the exchange of money and influence between a lord and a high-level servant, kinsman, or friend, for corrupting accords.

  • Unbinding the Japanese Novel in English Translation
    Department of Modern Languages Faculty of Arts University of Helsinki UNBINDING THE JAPANESE NOVEL IN ENGLISH TRANSLATION The Alfred A. Knopf Program, 1955 – 1977 Larry Walker ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be presented, with the permission of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Helsinki, for public examination in Auditorium XII University Main Building, on the 25th of September at 12 noon. Helsinki 2015 ISBN 978-951-51-1472-3 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-1473-0 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2015 ABSTRACT Japanese literature in English translation has a history of 165 years, but it was not until after the hostilities of World War II ceased that any single publisher outside Japan put out a sustained series of novel-length translations. The New York house of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. published thirty-four titles of Japanese literature in English translation in hardcover between the years 1955 to 1977. This “Program,” as it came to be called, was carried out under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Harold Strauss (1907-1975), who endeavored to bring the then-active modern writers of Japan to the stage of world literature. Strauss and most of the translators who made this Program possible were trained in military language schools during World War II. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the publisher’s policies and publishing criteria in the selection of texts, the actors involved in the mediation process and the preparation of the texts for market, the reception of the texts and their impact on the resulting translation profile of Japanese literature in America, England and elsewhere.

  • 1 Market Logic and Cultural Consecration in French, German and American Bestseller Lists, 1970-2007 Marc Verboord, Erasmus Unive
    Market logic and Cultural Consecration in French, German and American Bestseller Lists, 1970-2007 Marc Verboord, Erasmus University Rotterdam Final version, May 23, 2011 (published in Poetics , 2011, 39(4): 290-315) Abstract This paper analyzes how cultural classification has changed in the period 1970-2007 in France, Germany and the United States for one particular case: fiction book bestseller lists. Drawing on recent studies in the material production (publishing field) and symbolic production (literary field) of literature, I examine the impact of market logic and cultural consecration on the content of bestseller lists by (a) mapping trends, (b) comparing countries and (c) conducting multivariate analyses. To do so, I offer a nested, multilevel approach which attends to producers, authors and product types. The results show that in all three countries authors who have properties which signal market logic become more dominant, while retrospectively consecrated authors less often make the lists. This trend is stronger for the US than for Germany and France. The differences between the latter two countries decline over time.

Introduction Whilst literature still ranks among the most prestigious cultural genres in Western societies, this status is not fixed as cultural classification practices are subject to temporal change and may differ across places (Bourdieu, 1993; DiMaggio, 1987).

  • Who We Are Reading When We Are Reading Haruki Murakami: the Role of Various ‘Rewriters’ in Translating Haruki Murakami for the Anglophone Market
    Article JAITS Who We Are Reading When We Are Reading Haruki Murakami: The Role of Various ‘Rewriters’ in Translating Haruki Murakami for the Anglophone Market David KARASHIMA (School of International Liberal Studies, Waseda University) This article examines how Haruki Murakami—the most widely read contemporary Japanese author in the world today—is translated in the Anglophone world. We suggest that the highly networked world of Haruki Murakami, which transcends literary spaces still largely divided along lines of language and nation state, may be seen as a kind of grand experiment in “contemporary literature”, and that while Japan and the United States are no doubt key centers in the laboratory that operates this experiment, this network comprises diverse “rewriters” across the globe that include translators, editors, agents, designers, critics as well as readers, bringing additional complexity to the question of who we are reading when we are reading Haruki Murakami. Described in the Anglophone press as “the most anticipated literary event of the year” (Barra, 2011) and “a global event in itself [that] passionately defends the power of the novel” (Haddow, 2011), Murakami’s novel 1Q84 arrived in English in the fall of 2011 “with all the razzmatazz associated with a Harry Potter novel” (Cummins, 2011). Ardent fans in London queued for the midnight launch at Foyles bookstore (Flood, 2011) and New Yorkers flocked to bookstores (Kyodo, 2011) to get hold of a copy of Murakami’s “mega-novel” (Miller, 2011)—initially published in Japan as three separate volumes—packaged into a single eye-catching volume by the popular designer Chip Kidd, pushing the book to open at number two for hardcover fiction on The New York Times bestseller list (New York Times, 2011).

In most instances, the contributors name is listed for the text.
