Contrastive Grammar: A Theory and Practice Handbook En consonancia con los lineamientos del programa vigente de Gramática Contrastiva, materia incluida en el programa de estudios del traductorado de inglés de la Facultad de Lenguas, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, el objetivo principal de Contrastive Grammar: A Theory and Practice Handbook es brindarles a los estudiantes un manual que combine las gramáticas descriptivas del inglés y del español. No pretende ser una revisión completa de todas las diferencias lingüísticas existentes entre ambas lenguas: por el contrario, el objetivo del presente manual es combinar información teórica clave con prácticas variadas respecto de estructuras dispares que representan la fuente más frecuente de interferencia entre los dos sistemas. Palabras clave: gramática contrastiva – español – inglés – diferencias lingüísticas – interferencia. Agradecimientos Agradecemos la preciada colaboración de las Profesoras Adscriptas a la cátedra, Paula Becaria Coquet, Laura C. Cocache y María José Monte.

  • ABRAHAM FORD Stonemason, Preacher, Confederate, Captain Doctor, Pioneer by Dale Welch Siftings from Putnam County Tennessee by Mary Hopson Pgs
    ABRAHAM FORD Stonemason, Preacher, Confederate, Captain Doctor, Pioneer By Dale Welch Siftings from Putnam County Tennessee By Mary Hopson Pgs. 183 & 184 Rev. Abraham Ford, the son of John F. & Nancy Ford, was born in White County, Tennessee, near DeKalb County, on January 3, 1821 – died December 14, 1890. The Ford family was originally from Virginia. They made their way to Tennessee, in about 1801. Some of their relatives settled in the Grassy Cove area of what was then Bledsoe, and now Cumberland County, Tennessee. By 1840, Abraham Ford married Nancy Womack. They were living by her parents, Thomas and Elizabeth Womack, in the 1840 census of Warren County, Tennessee. In 1850, Abraham and Nancy were living in the Grassy Cove area, near his father and mother and family. Abe was a stonemason, as was most of his male cousins, living near by. Abe and Nancy had 6 children at the time. In 1853, Abraham and family had moved back to White Co., now Putnam County, in the Sand Springs area. He had sold his property in Grassy Cove (200 acres), to Thomas Hail. Their residence was on property now owned by Carl Selby. The house was located about where Interstate 40 now runs. On July 25, 1861, the 40 year-old Preacher enlisted into Confederate service. He was elected as Captain of Company K. of the 25th Tennessee Infantry, made up of men from Putnam and White Counties. Times were hard for these soldiers. They marched and drilled, continuously, at Camp Zollicoffer, and Camp Myers, both in Overton County.

Running head: FEAR, GOVERNANCE AND SOCIAL CONTROL 1 Fight the Dead, Fear the Living: Post-Apocalyptic Narratives of Fear, Governance and Social Control Samantha Kolpin Wilfrid Laurier University FEAR, GOVERNANCE AND SOCIAL CONTROL 2 Abstract Post-apocalyptic narratives and themes have become increasingly popular in film, television and graphic novels. By imagining a society without the state, post-apocalyptic narratives are able to explore concerns about current forms of governance and social control. The post-apocalyptic narrative is particularly relevant in a post-9/11 society where public concerns about security and governance are prominent. In this study, I examined the potential allegorical function of the zombie narrative found in Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead.

English language. doi: 10.1386/host.7.1.125_1 STEPHEN OLBRYS GENCARELLA University of Massachusetts Thunder without rain: Fascist masculinity in AMC’s The Walking Dead ABSTRACT KEYWORDS In this article, I offer a critique of the five seasons of the television series The fascism Walking Dead (TWD) broadcast to date (2010–2015). As the popularity of this masculinity show continues to rise, many viewers have demonstrated a willingness to praise Male Fantasies TWD without carefully examining its narrative commitments to violence or to ghouls attack media critics who point out negative elements at work. My critique contends critique that the series is decidedly fascistic in nature, and celebratory of fascist masculin- The Walking Dead ity as the key to surviving an apocalyptic situation. I analyse the show through a comparison with the literature of the Freikorps as detailed by Klaus Theweleit’s study of fascism, Male Fantasies ([1977] 1987, [1978] 1989). I examine in detail the prevalence of the ‘soldier male’ in TWD, the limited roles for women, and the representation of the ghoulish undead, drawing upon Theweleit and related scholar- ship on fascist aesthetics. It is not the corpses that this man loves; he loves his own life. But he loves it … for its ability to survive.

  • Putnam County Tennessee
    A HISTORY OF PUTNAM COUNTY TENNESSEE By Walter S. McClain Chapter Eight by Quimby Dyer Price $1.50 Published by QUIMBY DYER & CO Cookeville, Tenn. COPYRIGHT 1925 BY QUIMBY DYER & Co. Herald Publishing Company, Cookeville, Tenn. TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE Introduction 1 Chapter I. The Pioneers 3 Chapter II. Old Landmarks 25 Chapter III. Putnam County Formed 44 Chapter IV. Towns and Villages 70 Chapter V. Social Development 88 Chapter VI. Industrial Development 110 Chapter VII. Geological 125 Chapter VIII. Biographical 129 A HISTORY OF PUTNAM COUNTY INTRODUCTION Ramsey’s “Annals of Tennessee” and Putnam’s “History of Middle Tennessee,” both early and authoritative works of pioneer times in this State, have little to say of the region we now know as Putnam County. Obviously, there are many traditions of intense local interest, which are of too great value to be abandoned to oblivion, even though they may not be of sufficient general appeal to deserve mention in a history of the State. Every county, therefore, should largely preserve its own history in which should be definitely fixed its early settlement, its outstanding events and accomplishments, and, above all, faithful tribute to men and women of worth and distinction. We shall endeavor to perform this service for Putnam County. The writer offers no apology for the deficiencies of this work, believing that they will be largely overcome in future additions. This is merely a beginning, to which others may add. It is particularly unfortunate that we are without more reliable information concerning the early settlement this county, but it is to gather up such fugitive bits of history as may be gleaned from our oldest citizens and their family papers that this belated record is attempted.

While the Broad Creek community is now a rural preserve -- a hidden patch of trees, marshland, and historic structures in the midst of an urban metropolis -- it was the site of a prosperous commercial town during the eighteenth century. For nearly one hundred years, farmers and merchants thrived on maritime trade, and African-American slaves toiled in their homes, workshops, and tobacco fields. Broad Creek was 4 part of an Atlantic world that brought wealth, goods, and new residents (many by force) to the lands where Harmony Hall now stands.

  • Angry White Men: How Breaking Bad and the Walking Dead Predicted the Trumpian Zeitgeist
    ANGRY WHITE MEN: HOW BREAKING BAD AND THE WALKING DEAD PREDICTED THE TRUMPIAN ZEITGEIST Graeme J. Wilson A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2019 Committee: Ellen Gorsevski, Advisor Raymond Swisher Graduate Faculty Representative Lisa Hanasono Thomas Mascaro © 2019 Graeme J. Wilson All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Gorsevski, Advisor The archetypal protagonist of the modern “Golden Age of Television” is a maladjusted, White male struggling with feelings of marginalization. While this description applies to characters such as Breaking Bad’s Walter White, it is also used by political commentators to characterize what is popularly perceived to be the prototypical male supporter of President Donald Trump. When considering the cultural zeitgeist of the angry White man, are there any cultural and rhetorical connections between White, male Trump supporters who exhibit irrational feelings of marginalization and dramas such as Breaking Bad whose protagonists similarly exhibit and are motivated by such feelings? As a theorist and critical scholar of televised rhetoric and discourses, I am interested in analyzing such programming to determine whether these prestige antihero series invited viewers to contribute to the current masculinist movement under Trump and reassert dominance in response to perceived losses to women and minority groups. The specific episodes that will serve as case studies for this research into the relationship between modern prestige television and the cultural zeitgeist of Trump’s America will be drawn from Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, due to their cultural influence and visibility.
