The Imaginative Tension in Henry David Thoreau's Political Thought
THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Arcadian Exile: The Imaginative Tension in Henry David Thoreau’s Political Thought A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Politics School of Arts and Sciences of the Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Joshua James Bowman Washington, D.C. 2016 Arcadian Exile: The Imaginative Tension in Henry David Thoreau’s Political Thought Joshua James Bowman, Ph.D. Director: Claes G. Ryn, Ph.D. Henry David Thoreau‘s writings have achieved a unique status in the history of American literature. His ideas influenced the likes of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., and play a significant role in American environmentalism. Despite this influence his larger political vision is often used for purposes he knew nothing about or could not have anticipated. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze Thoreau’s work and legacy by elucidating a key tension within Thoreau's imagination. Instead of placing Thoreau in a pre-conceived category or worldview, the focus on imagination allows a more incisive reflection on moral and spiritual questions and makes possible a deeper investigation of Thoreau’s sense of reality. Drawing primarily on the work of Claes Ryn, imagination is here conceived as a form of consciousness that is creative and constitutive of our most basic sense of reality. The imagination both shapes and is shaped by will/desire and is capable of a broad and qualitatively diverse range of intuition which varies depending on one’s orientation of will. -
You Never Can Tell
You Never Can Tell October 12-November 11, 1995 By George Bernard Shaw Directed by Nagle Jackson Study Guide Catch Us In The Act. Denver Center Theatre Company A Division of The Denver Center for the Performing Arts / Donovan Marley, Artistic Director 1995-96 Season Sponsor n order to find more information about Shaw’s life and works, take a trip to your school or local library. There is a wealth of material on these subjects for both adults and children. Ask your librarian for help in finding the books, videos, records, tapes, and magazines you need. IBecome familiar with your library and you will find that a world of infor- mation will be at your fingertips. Most libraries are not restricted by their own collections but can borrow from other libraries to satisfy your infor- mational needs. Become a skillful library consumer. Never hesitate to ask questions. Planning is important however, and the farther you plan ahead, the more time you give your librarian and yourself to find the best resources. Each show the Denver Center Theatre Company produces has its own unique informational needs. We, here at the theatre, use the resources of our own and other libraries continually. Without access to information, it would not be possible to do what we do whether it is searching for the costumes of a particular period; defining the language of a specific time; discovering the customs and culture of when and where the play takes place; or finding technical information to produce the special effects on stage. Our people have to be well informed. -

His education was irregular, due to his dislike of any organized training. After working in an estate agent's office for a while, he moved to London as a young man (1876), where he established himself as a leading music and theatre critic in the eighties and nineties and became a prominent member of the Fabian Society, for which he composed many pamphlets. He began his literary career as a novelist; as a fervent advocate of the new theatre of Ibsen (The Quintessence of Ibsenism, 1891) he decided to write plays in order to illustrate his criticism of the English stage. His earliest dramas were called appropriately Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant (1898). Among these, Widower's Houses and Mrs. Warren's Profession savagely -

Peter Kropotkin and People's Uprisings
Peter Kropotkin and People’s Uprisings: From the Paris Commune to Gwangju by George Katsiaficas1 Were we to gather here in 2002 to discuss the contributions of Peter Kropotkin, we would be remiss if we did not attempt to extrapolate his thinking into our own time. With regard to the fate of the Bolshevik revolution, such a task is straightforward. Kropotkin himself was able to analyze its development and regression. It is quite a bit more difficult, however, to apply Kropotkin’s thinking to the development of revolutionary movements in the latter half of the 20th century. While he is of vital importance to contemporary anarchist thinking, Kropotkin is still little known outside the circles of the initiated. On the other side of Asia, Gwangju is central to modern Korean democracy, yet the uprising of 1980 in which as many 2000 people lost their lives, remains at (or outside) the borders of many people’s understanding. In both cases, it seems to me that Eurocentrism plays a role in the marginalization process. I feel safe asserting that if Kropotkin had never left Russia and yet still written the same books and articles, outside Russia we would know little or nothing of him today! We may forgive Kropotkin for many things. At the top of that list is his support for the Entente during World War 1. Somewhere else in this list is his Eurocentric bias. Today one encounters this category of analysis in Mutual Aid with consternation. His use of “savages” and “barbarians” is curiously antiquated. Moreover in his Memoirs, we find oblique references to “Asiatic schemes”, mentions of “…an Oriental fashion, in an abominable way” and “oriental amusements were looked upon with disgust…”2 I assume that Kropotkin would have outgrown these prejudices. -

As geographer and architect both imagined, wrote and inspired practices of production of space deeply rooted in ecology and spirit of self-organization. The literature review of primary and secondary resources will entangle the relationship between Kropotkin’s (proto)ecological geography with Colin Ward’s post-war self-management in urbanism. Both conceptions emerging from direct action, mutual aid and cooperation they will be presented through a comparison of their writings and the correlating the examples they inspired (Spanish anti- authoritarianist planning councils, 50s squatters movement, self-help housing communities etc. -

Mary Austin, Joaquin Miller, and Mary Hallock Foote, to name four-Charles Er skine Scott Wood came to the American West in his youth. He spent the rest of his life on the Pacific Slope-in Oregon. for more than thirty years, and then in California, where he died at Los Gatos, a month short of his ninety-second birt hday. That long caree r has nearly as many facets as a fly's eye. West Pointer, Indian fighter. attorney, poet, artist, anar chist, satirist, land agent, lec turer, columnist , reformer. Wood was all of these and more . Indeed. he spread diverse talents and remarkable energy in such a sweep ing art that he resembles a renaissance figure out of place and out of time. According to his good friend William Rose Benet: " Something of the largeness of the early West was in Erskine Scott Wood." True enough, but the rugged, informal. Western dimension in him was tempered by the influence of his youthful reading in classical literature that imparts an urbane and Old World flavor even to his Western verse, Moreover.
