  • Studies in Early Mediterranean Poetics and Cosmology
    The Ruins of Paradise: Studies in Early Mediterranean Poetics and Cosmology by Matthew M. Newman A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Studies) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Richard Janko, Chair Professor Sara L. Ahbel-Rappe Professor Gary M. Beckman Associate Professor Benjamin W. Fortson Professor Ruth S. Scodel Bind us in time, O Seasons clear, and awe. O minstrel galleons of Carib fire, Bequeath us to no earthly shore until Is answered in the vortex of our grave The seal’s wide spindrift gaze toward paradise. (from Hart Crane’s Voyages, II) For Mom and Dad ii Acknowledgments I fear that what follows this preface will appear quite like one of the disorderly monsters it investigates. But should you find anything in this work compelling on account of its being lucid, know that I am not responsible. Not long ago, you see, I was brought up on charges of obscurantisme, although the only “terroristic” aspects of it were self- directed—“Vous avez mal compris; vous êtes idiot.”1 But I’ve been rehabilitated, or perhaps, like Aphrodite in Iliad 5 (if you buy my reading), habilitated for the first time, to the joys of clearer prose. My committee is responsible for this, especially my chair Richard Janko and he who first intervened, Benjamin Fortson. I thank them. If something in here should appear refined, again this is likely owing to the good taste of my committee. And if something should appear peculiarly sensitive, empathic even, then it was the humanity of my committee that enabled, or at least amplified, this, too.

    Council Study Session November 30, 2020 Agenda Item Almeda Fire Public Engagement Survey Presentation From Tina Gray Human Resource Director Contact [email protected]; (541) 552-2101 Item Type Requested by Council ☐ Update ☐ Request for Direction ☐ Presentation ☒ SUMMARY Following the devastating Almeda Fire, the City requested public input from citizens for use in an After Action Review. Constructive feedback from citizens regarding the Almeda fire will help the City of Ashland improve our response to future emergencies. The City received an impressive number of responses to the survey. Staff has summarized the 534 responses to help guide Council policy and planning around Emergency Preparedness in 2021. POLICIES, PLANS & GOALS SUPPORTED N/A BACKGROUND AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The City posted a survey on our website under the Engage Ashland portal to hear feedback from citizens regarding the City's response to the Almeda Fire. The survey focused on two critical areas: Communication during the Almeda Fire emergency and the evacuation process. Hearing directly from our citizens on what went according to plan and what needs to be improved is essential to advance our prevention, preparedness, and response to future emergency events. With extreme weather events and natural disasters on the rise, Ashland must anticipate and plan to respond to different emergencies. Lessons learned from the Almeda Fire event will help shape the response to emergencies in the future and better define areas of vulnerability. It is not enough to know what didn't work as expected; this event must become a springboard to creating a more resilient community that can withstand and recover more quickly from disaster by implementing operational, structural, and policy changes.

  • Place, Paradise, and Perfection: the Narrative Function Of
    BRANDON II, ROBERT RICHARD, Ph.D. Place, Paradise and Perfection: The Narrative Function of Three Middle English Versions of Paradise. (2010) Directed by Dr. Denise Baker, 143 pp. This dissertation explores the concept of paradise as it is used as a physical space within Middle English literature. In examining the narrative function of this space, the fundamental question that it explores is whether the image carries with it any special weight. In exploring this issue, it considers three texts popular in later medieval England: Pearl, The South English Legendary Saint Brendan’s Journey, and The Booke of Ghostlye Grace. Ultimately, it asserts that the inclusion of such an important cultural icon has a profound effect on readers’ interpretation of a text. Because this image carries with it such cultural weight, readers cannot help but carry their understanding of its significance to the text. Whether it is represented as a pristine wilderness, a perfect cityscape, or a union with the divine, paradise by its very definition represents humanity’s attempt to define perfection. Because that which exists in paradise is by definition perfect itself, the image becomes an important tool for critiquing or affirming cultural values and social practices. In examining these three texts, this dissertation asserts that the image plays an important narrative role in each. Because the perfection of this space is nearly universally accepted, the texts make use of its innate social context. By making paradise the locus of action, these texts are able to justify certain ways of seeing and understanding the world, ultimately promoting certain religious, political, or social ideals.
