ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am delighted to welcome you to the ACLA Annual Meeting at Georgetown University. With its vast array of seminars, pre-conference events, and plenary sessions, every year this remarkable event offers excellent opportunities to appreciate the vitality of comparative literature and its centrality in an authentic global education. The program of the 2019 conference engages scholars and students from all over the world in inspiring dialogues across languages, cultures, and disciplines that show the richness of diversity and reflect the research and pedagogical mission of our university. An impressive variety of topics and innovative approaches awaits you each day in panels and other non-stream events, all listed on the following pages under “General Information” and “Conference Schedule”. We are deeply honored to have internationally acclaimed novelist Amitav Ghosh as our keynote speaker (Saturday evening), and to welcome distinguished critics Mary Louise Pratt, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and Robert Warrior for the Presidential Plenary Panel (Saturday). The Thursday afternoon workshops promote debates on paramount issues, from translation and travel to the role of comparative methodologies in diasporic literature and in environmental and medical humanities. They also include a special session to honor the legacy of renowned comparatist Ross Chambers. As is customary at ACLA, we have events geared towards graduate students, such as the pre-conference session on publishing the first article (Thursday), and the panel on Ethics in the Academy (Friday). We are equally proud of all the students who have been selected to present papers in the ACLA Undergraduate Seminar, a commendable initiative that highlights the pivotal role of undergraduate education in shaping sophisticated comparative research. The ACLA Opening Reception on Thursday evening and the Graduate Students’ Cocktail Hour on Friday afternoon will offer opportunities to get together as a community and enjoy the company of old and new colleagues. The Presidential Address by David Palumbo-Liu (Friday evening) will be followed by the Awards Ceremony to recognize outstanding scholarly work in our discipline. In my nearly three years’ planning for the 2019 ACLA Conference, numerous colleagues and departments have offered me invaluable financial and logistical support. I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of them. The Dean of Georgetown College, Prof. Christopher Celenza, who joined Georgetown University when the organization of this event was already underway, embraced the initiative and granted funding assistance. The former Dean, Prof. Chester Gillis, with whom I first shared my desire to host the 2019 ACLA Conference on our campus, enthusiastically endorsed my proposal and motivated many other administrators and academic units to sponsor it: Provost Robert Groves, and former Vice Provost for Research Prof. Janet Mann Dean Norberto Grzywacz, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dr. Joe Ferrara, Chief of Staff to the President of Georgetown University Prof. Thomas Banchoff, Vice President for Global Engagement 4 ACLA 2019 GEORGETOWN Prof. Jacques Berlinerblau, Director of the Program for Jewish Civilization, Edmund A.

  • Ethical Perspectives of Stem Cell Research
    The Writing Anthology Edited by Elizabeth Koele and Hannah Marcum Advisors Walter Cannon and Joshua Dolezal A Publication of the English Department and the Art Department Central College Pella, Iowa 2016 Dear Readers, Welcome to the 36th edition of The Writing Anthology. We are very excited to share this year’s publication with you. After reviewing nearly fifty submissions, we selected the following thirteen pieces to be featured in the anthology. The difficulty of this selection process is a testament to the excellent quality of student writing at Central College, and we are proud to see all the hard work put in by our peers. Ideas have power. Each of the following essays was written with a unique goal to transform perspective. Through examining relevant questions and proposing solutions, the authors contribute to a broader global discourse. Considered as a whole, we believe this anthology develops a compelling statement concerning our present and future realities. The first and last pieces in this anthology are natural complements. Both explore the association between humans and their health. Together, they build a framework for the progression of the collection. The first half of the anthology highlights human connection, both good and bad. Central to our arrangement is a philosophy essay that reminds readers of the origins of academic reasoning—a lens through which humans interpret their surroundings. Following this, the anthology’s focus shifts toward meaningful interaction between humanity and the environment, reaching for a balance between the two elements. Each year the John Allen Award is granted to the author or authors of the best student writing.

  • Depression Since Prozac: an Argument for Authenticity Russell Helms* College of Arts and Sciences, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, USA
    essio epr n D an f d Helms, J Depress Anxiety 2018, 7:1 o A l a n n x r DOI: 10.4172/2167-1044.1000298 i e u t y o J Journal of Depression and Anxiety ISSN: 2167-1044 ResearchReview Article Article OpenOpen Access Access Depression Since Prozac: An Argument For Authenticity Russell Helms* College of Arts and Sciences, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, USA Abstract Many science writers think that taking drugs such as Prozac for depression betrays one’s authenticity. This paper belies that notion, promoting the benefits of SSRIs, namely for the relief of depressive symptoms, which leads to a fuller and more meaningful life. Critics of Prozac and the SSRIs, such as Charles Barber, Carl Elliot, Nassir Ghaemi, and David Healy, decry the loss of sadness as a vital organ to one’s authenticity. This organic authenticity it seems is the primary indicator that one is following his or her “true self.” I argue that an unmedicated self, while suffering from depression, is not the true self and that rather the “true self” is that person who has been lifted from depression by medications such as Prozac, which leads to a more meaningful and productive life. As the number one cause of disability worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, the pharmacologic treatment of depression deserves respect and an open mind to those interventions that have been proven to work. Keywords: Depression; Prozac; Psychopharmacology; Authenticity; In terms of cost, according to the CDC, “the economic burden of Sadness depression, including workplace costs, direct costs and suicide-related costs, was estimated to be $210.5 billion in 2010.” Drugs like Prozac Introduction are, of course, a substantial portion of this disease cost.

  • Modern Teachers of Ars Moriendi
    religions Article Modern Teachers of Ars moriendi Agnieszka Janiak 1 and Marcin Gierczyk 2,* 1 Department of Media and Communication, University of Lower Silesia, 53-611 Wrocław, Poland; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Pedagogy, University of Silesia in Katowice, 40-007 Katowice, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: It is evident that a change is happening, a breakthrough, in perceptions of death; the next episode is being unveiled. After the stages Philippe Aries named death of the tame and then death of the wild, people today are finally experiencing the humanizing of death, which we call sharing death, whose influence is worth deep analysis. Our hypothesis is that today, Ars moriendi, meeting the needs of the dying, may be learned from the so-called death teachers, whose message is growing noticeably in society. This research shows a certain reversal of social roles that are worth noting and accepting. In the past, a priest was a guide and a teacher in the face of dying and death; today, he has the opportunity to learn Ars moriendi from contemporary teachers of dying, to imagine an empty chair standing by a dying person. Keywords: priest; Ars moriendi; sharing death; death teacher 1. Introduction One of religion’s fundamental functions is the existential one.

  • 'Hybridity' in the Novels of Ananda Devi
    ‘HYBRIDITY’ IN THE NOVELS OF ANANDA DEVI Oulagambal Ashwiny Kistnareddy Licence, BA. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Master of Philosophy July 2010 Abstract Hybridity is a term that has garnered a great deal of attention in the postcolonial world and has considerable critical purchase in the contemporary world. Its proponents, from Bakhtin (1981) and Bhabha (1994) to more recent theorists of hybridity in its various forms are many. However, it also has many dissidents. Hybridity’s ambiguous status as a colonial, negative term that has been reappropriated to undermine notions of purity and essentialism, can be quite problematic. Nevertheless, in its more positive aspects, it can prove to be quite enabling for postcolonial intellectuals like Ananda Devi. Devi expresses this point of view in an interview where she speaks of herself as being ‘hybride dans le bon sens du terme’ (Indes Réunionnaises 2003). This thesis examines Devi’s novels in order to gauge the extent to which these can be read through the lens of hybridity, especially given the recent reference to texts emanating from the Indian Ocean as being hybrid (Hawkins 2007, Prabhu 2007). Chapter One investigates the positive aspects of hybridity that Devi underlines in her interview, namely her ability to use the different cultures and traditions at her disposal in her writing. The chapter demonstrates the linguistic hybridity (Bakhtin 1981) and formal hybridity of the novels, which is the result of Devi’s own upbringing in multicultural society. The subsequent two chapters focus on what can be interpreted as the negative aspects of hybridity.
