The Master of the Unruly Children and His Artistic and Creative Identities
The Master of the Unruly Children and his Artistic and Creative Identities Hannah R.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines a group of terracotta sculptures attributed to an artist known as the Master of the Unruly Children. The name of this artist was coined by Wilhelm von Bode, on the occasion of his first grouping seven works featuring animated infants in Berlin and London in 1890. Due to the distinctive characteristics of his work, this personality has become a mainstay of scholarship in Renaissance sculpture which has focused on identifying the anonymous artist, despite the physical evidence which suggests the involvement of several hands. Chapter One will examine the historiography in connoisseurship from the late nineteenth century to the present and will explore the idea of the scholarly “construction” of artistic identity and issues of value and innovation that are bound up with the attribution of these works. -

An Examination of Paternal Influence on High-Achieving Gifted Males
An Examination of Paternal Influence on High-Achieving Gifted Males Thomas P. Hébert Alexander R. Pagnani The University of Georgia Daniel R. Hammond The University of Kansas t he challenges facing contemporary boys are complex, highlighting the importance of positive paternal influence for young men to achieve success. this study examines the father-son relationships of 10 prominent gifted men of achievement to identify factors influencing talent development. through biographical analysis, 6 significant themes were identified: unconditional belief in son, strong work ethic, encouragement and guidance, maintaining high expectations and fostering determination, pride in son’s accomplishments, and mutual admiration and respect. implications for parents and educators of high-achieving gifted males are discussed. “My father didn’t tell me how to live; he lived and let me watch him do it.” —Clarence Kelland (Lyons & Lyons, 2002, p. 44) It is a challenging time to be a boy in this country. Such is the mes- sage heralded in today’s popular press (Sommers, 2000a; Tyre, 2006), and bookstore shelves are resplendent with recently published books calling attention to the plight of the young American male (e.g., Neu & Weinfeld, 2007). Psychologists and gender experts debate whether or not the problems faced by boys are more difficult than those facing girls (Gurian, 1996; Kindlon & Thompson, 1999; Sommers, 2000b), and educators claim that the destructive effects of society’s failure Thomas. P Hébert is professor of educational psychology in the College of Education at the University of Georgia in Athens where he teaches graduate courses in gifted education and qualitative research methods. -

NIXON-ROULET PREFACE It requires much study of the Oriental mind to catch even brief glimpses of the secret of its mysterious charm. An open mind and the wisdom of great sympathy are conditions essential to making it at all possible. Contemplative, gentle, and metaphysical in their habit of thought, the Chinese have reflected profoundly and worked out many riddles of the universe in ways peculiarly their own. Realization of the value and need to us of a more definite knowledge of the mental processes of our Oriental brothers, increases wonder- fully as one begins to comprehend the richness, depth, and beauty of their thought, ripened as it is by the hidden processes of evolution throughout the ages. To obtain literal translations from the mental store- house of the Chinese has not been found easy of accom- plishment; but it is a more difficult, and a most elusive task to attempt to translate their fancies, to see life itself as it appears from the Chinese point of view, and to retell these impressions without losing quite all of their color and charm. -

The Evolution of Hollywood's Representation of Arabs Before 9/11: the Relationship Between Political Events and the Notion of 'O
Networking Knowledge: Journal of the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network, Vol 1, No 2 (2007) ARTICLE The evolution of Hollywood's representation of Arabs before 9/11: the relationship between political events and the notion of 'Otherness' SULAIMAN ARTI, Loughborough University ABSTRACT This article will deliberate on the political motives behind the stereotypical image of Arabs in Hollywood in the period before 9/11. Hollywood has always played a propagandist as well as a limitative role for the American imperial project, especially, in the Middle East. This study suggests that the evolution of this representation has been profoundly influenced by political events such as the creation of Israel, the Iranian Islamic revolution and the demise of the Soviet Union. Hollywood’s presentation of Arabs through a distinctive lens allows America, through Hollywood, to present the Middle East as ‘alien’ and so helps to make it an acceptable area for the exercise of American power. The interpretations of Hollywood’s representation of Middle Easterners involve different, often contradictory, types of image. They also suggest that the intensification of the Arabs’ stereotypical image over the last century from ‘comic villains’ to ‘foreign devils’ did not occur in a vacuum but, certainly, with the intertwinement of both political and cultural interests in the region. It is believed that this was motivated indirectly by U.S imperial objectives. KEYWORDS Imperialism, Propaganda, Hollywood, Arabs, Politics and Others. Introduction The Middle East has long been ubiquitous in American cultural rhetoric; topics featuring Arabs and Muslims appear in various American media including discussions, news coverage and, most accessibly and influentially, in films and television entertainment programmes. -

Neoplatonism and the Visual Arts at the Time of Marsiuo Ficino
NEOPLATONISM AND THE VISUAL ARTS AT THE TIME OF MARSIUO FICINO Francis Ames-Lewis Over the past fifty years or so, debate on the issue of the significance of Florentine Neoplatonic philosophy, and of Ficino's philosophical ideas in particular, for the visual arts in his time has primarily revolved around paintings produced for members of the Medici family, and most particularly two of Botticelli's great panel-paintings in the Uffizi, the Pallas and the Centaur and the Primavera. This debate reached its height around 1960 when Edgar Wind and Erwin Panofsky proposed variations on the classic Neoplatonic reading, Ernst Gom brich's celebrated article of 1945.1 Gombrich understood the Primavera in the light of a letter from Marsilio Ficino to Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici, second cousin to Lorenzo the Magnificent, in which Venus is equated with the concept of humanitas. However, this does not really help to elucidate the meaning of the Venus who stands at the centre of the Primavera. Moreover, Gombrich's hypothesis was further compromised by his unsatisfactory attempt to identify the figures and their interrelationships in the light of the Golden Ass of Apuleius, which in its somewhat coarse character does not well match the lyrical, pastoral quality of Botticelli's pictorial treatment. In 1958 Edgar Wind suggested, citing Ficino at frequent inter vals, that the two groups on either side of Venus may represent two consecutive phases of one consistent Platonic theory of love. 2 Since Vasari had seen the Primavera and the Birth of Venus hanging in the villa of Castello, which then belonged to the heirs of Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici, Erwin Panofsky proposed in 1960 that they were pendants (despite the fact that one is on panel and the other on canvas), both painted for Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco, the first 1 E. -
