Full textAbstract:
The new genus Douglasdeweya C. Yen, J.L. Yang & B.R. Baum is based on results from cytogenetical and morphological findings PPStSt genome and is segregated from the genus Pseudoroegneria StSt and StStStSt genome. Several characters, such as the erect spike with very finely spinulose pubescence along the two main angles of the rachis, and glumes and lemmas with a very strong midrib forming a keel-like structure distinguish Douglasdeweya from Pseudoroegneria, which has a rather lax spike, a rachis that is glabrous along the two main angles, and glumes and lemmas without a keel-like structure. The genus is named in memory of Dr. Douglas R. Dewey, an outstanding scientist who worked on the biosystematics of the perennial Triticeae. Two species are described, one of which is new, Douglasdeweya wangyii C. Yen, J.L. Yang & B. R. Baum and the other a new combination Douglasdeweya deweyi (K.B. Jensen, S.L. Hatch, & J.K. Wipff) C. Yen, J.L. Yang, & B.R. Baum. A key to the two species is provided, together with details on their taxonomy, nomenclature, distribution, and cytology.Key words: PPStSt genome, narrow endemic.

Kelly, Anne. Richard Holland’s Buke of the Howlat. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198787525.003.0005.
Full textAbstract:
This essay reassesses Chaucer’s influence on the Older Scots poem The Buke of the Howlat (c.1448), written by the Orkney poet Richard Holland (d. in or after 1483) in the mid-fifteenth century. The poem celebrates the virtues of the ‘Black Douglases’, one of Scotland’s most powerful magnate families at the time of the Howlat’s composition. Together with his dedication of the work to his patrons, Archibald Douglas and his wife Elizabeth, such explicit praise has led critics to regard the Howlat as a political poem. Yet there remains an element of ambivalence to the Howlat which works against such an interpretation, suggesting rather that Holland’s purpose in writing the poem might be less controversial than is commonly assumed. This essay argues for ways in which Holland is indebted to Chaucer in this regard, offering a broader perspective on the Chaucerianism of the Howlat than has generally been considered.

Full textAbstract:
Literary critics and historians have long studied Frederick Douglass’s impact on American literature and history, yet surprisingly few scholars have analyzed his influence on American political thought. Political theorists have focused on the legacies of W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, but editor Neil Roberts argues that it is impossible to understand their work or Afro-modern and American political thought without understanding Frederick Douglass’s contributions. Douglass was a prolific writer and public speaker, and the contributors to this comprehensive volume examine not only his famous autobiographies but also his novels, essays, and speeches. Douglass had a genius for analyzing and articulating basic American ideals such as independence, liberation, individualism, and freedom in the particular context of American slavery. The contributors explore Douglass’s understanding of the self-made American individual and the way in which Douglass expanded the notion of individual potential, arguing that citizens have a responsibility to improve not only their own situations but also their communities’ well-being. The contributors also consider the idea of agency, investigating Douglass’s passionate insistence that every person in a democracy, even a slave, possesses an innate ability to act. Several of the volume’s essays seek to illuminate Douglass’s complex racial politics, deconstructing what seems at first to be his surprising aversion to racial pride, and others critique concepts of masculinity and gender in his oeuvre. The volume concludes with a discussion of Douglass’s contributions to pre- and post–Civil War jurisprudence.

Pugh, Jonathan. Coercion and the Neurocorrective Offer. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198758617.003.0005.
Full textAbstract:
According to what Douglas calls ‘the consent requirement’, neurocorrectives can only permissibly be provided with the valid consent of the offender who will undergo the intervention. Some of those who endorse the consent requirement have claimed that even though the requirement prohibits the imposition of mandatory neurocorrectives on criminal offenders, it may yet be permissible to offer offenders the opportunity to consent to undergoing such an intervention, in return for a reduction to their penal sentence. The author calls this the neurocorrective offer. The chapter considers the coercion-based objection to the neurocorrective offer, which claims that offenders cannot provide valid consent to undergoing a neurocorrective on the basis of this offer because it is inherently coercive. Having outlined early formulations of this argument, the author points out that there are in fact two different versions of this objection, which appeal to different understandings of the concepts of coercion, consent, and voluntariness.

Full textAbstract:
In his Second Inaugural Address, Abraham Lincoln said both North and South “read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.” Lincoln quoted several biblical texts in this address—which, according to Frederick Douglass, “sounded more like a sermon than a state paper.” The Bible, as Lincoln’s famous speech illustrated, saturated the Civil War. This book offers the most thorough analysis yet of how Americans enlisted scripture to fight the Civil War. As this insightful narrative reveals, no book was more important to the Civil War than the Bible. From Massachusetts to Mississippi and beyond, the Bible was the nation’s most read and most respected book. It brought to mind sacred history and sacrifice. It presented a drama of salvation and damnation, of providence and judgment. It was also a book of war. Americans cited the Bible in addressing many wartime issues, including slavery, secession, patriotism, federal versus state authority, white supremacy, and violence. In scripture, both Union and Confederate soldiers found inspiration for dying and killing like never before in the nation’s history. With approximately 750,000 fatalities, the Civil War was the deadliest of the nation’s wars. Americans fought the Civil War with Bibles in hand, with both sides calling the war just and sacred. This is a book about how Americans enlisted the Bible in the nation’s most bloody, and arguably most biblically saturated war.

Mary Douglas's retirement lasted almost a quarter of a century, quite long enough for her to fade pottering into obscurity. Yet what happened was diametrically, single-mindedly opposite: an increasing productivity well into her eighties; an unchallengeable position within British anthropology's most brilliant professional generation; and a generous reassessment within her own discipline of the work of her mid-career. Few could have predicted this outcome when in 1977 Douglas resigned her professorship at University College London in order to become Director of Research on Culture at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York. Fewer still as she found herself immediately mired in the controversial sacking of the man who had hired her. Yet Douglas emerged from this fray with risk analysis added to the already formidable range of fields on which she wrote. No field of anthropology–religion, symbolism, politics, economics, cognition, to name only a few–was untouched by her ideas.

"“A Blending of Opposite Qualities”." In A Political Companion to Frederick Douglass, edited by Nick Bromell, 409–36. University Press of Kentucky, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.5810/kentucky/9780813175621.003.0015.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the blending of Frederick Douglass’s seemingly dissimilar perspectives. It starts off with a personal anecdote about how Douglass watched a speech against the Irish Force Bill in England’s Parliament and noted how the speaker, William Gladstone, used a mixture of persuasive language and menacingly accusatory language. Douglass showed a similar duality in his perspectives as a slave and then a free man. The chapter looks closely at the many microrevisions Douglass made to the same topics and experiences in his various autobiographies to show his struggle with finding the terminology to express his blended view. His revisions indicate how Douglass increasingly paid attention to philosophical analysis as time went on and reveal a man trying to express his political thought with terminology that had not yet been created because prior thinkers did not have the experience of being a slave. The chapter ultimately addresses Douglass’s understanding of democratic citizenship.

In late 1929, Anthony Overton was perceived to be the nation’s most successful black businessman. Yet, by the mid-1930s, the public’s perception of Overton had shifted dramatically. The Great Depression’s negative impact on African American real estate values negatively impacted the profitability of both the Douglass National Bank and the Victory Life Insurance Company. Also, disclosure of Overton’s long-standing, unauthorized funneling of Victory Life funds into Douglass National resulted in his ouster as president of Victory Life. Moreover, despite creative efforts to keep it afloat, the Douglass National Bank ultimately became a casualty of the Depression. In the end, Anthony Overton retained control of the Overton Hygienic Manufacturing Company and the Chicago Bee newspaper but had lost the honorific moniker “the Merchant Prince of his Race.”

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 2 shows how Frederick Douglass issued two claims across two antebellum narratives. In his 1845 Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, he both challenged the diminished legal and moral authority of black Americans and analyzed what of the plantation had oppressed him. Yet after his political ideas and ties developed in the following decade, Douglass wrote his 1855 My Bondage and My Freedom not as mere narrative but as denunciation. Whereas to narrate wrongs encouraged readers to judge Douglass’s story alongside moral criteria of justice, to denounce wrongs in Bondage implicated readers within the structures that create antebellum subjects on and off the plantation. This claim depended on Douglass’s renewed authority to analyze his life and on an analysis that revealed how the conditions of slavery implicate abolitionists and readers. Douglass’s book reached outward to demand his audience join him in solidarity for racial justice.

Full textAbstract:
Made in collaboration with Rufus Wainwright after the loss of his mother, Douglas Gordon’s Phantom (2011) engages gallery-goers in an embodied perceptual experience of the darkness of grief, which is felt as well as seen. And yet the titular phantom points to what ghosts embodied vision, making space for images of the mind’s eye. Lost love, mourned but also conjured back through memory, dream, or imagination, extends beyond the personal to include a bygone era of classical film. Phantom draws from and returns us to cinema, expanding the experience of the moving image through its insistence upon the importance of both what is present or visible in the gallery space and what exists in the liminal state of mental vision.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the “contested terrain” associated with the founding of Chicago’s Douglass National Bank in 1921. Anthony Overton, one of history’s most prominent African American entrepreneurs, is widely regarded as the founder of the second national bank organized by African Americans. Yet, the evidence indicates that this distinction should go to Pearl W. Chavers, a relatively obscure early twentieth-century black business person. The story of Anthony Overton’s ascent and P.W. Chavers’ descent in the Douglass National Bank’s administrative hierarchy reveals the power of money and influence. It also illuminates the nuances of both group and individual entrepreneur-based strategies for African American economic development.

Full textAbstract:
Douglas’ chapter further explores these conditions in relation to the possibility of Hine’s (1998) understanding of non-violent vigilantism. Deanonymisation of hate speech through doxing is presented as a viable practice, notably when coupled with de-radicalisation programmes and other forms of the potential reintegration of the target. Vigilantism is always context-specific, and even progressive forms of engagement may raise unanticipated outcomes. Yet the arguments considered in this section are especially helpful in beginning to decouple acceptable from unacceptable forms of denunciation.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 4 tracks Frederick Douglass’s developing historical-temporal consciousness and his adoption of a presentist view of history that rhymes with Ralph Waldo Emerson’s philosophical presentism. In tandem with his embrace of political abolitionism, Douglass in his speeches and writings of the 1850s, began a sweeping philosophical engagement with the relations between past, present, and future and became what I will call abolitionism’s future historian—the historian of an abolitionist past that had not yet come to pass. Examining a series of recurring images—in My Bondage and My Freedom, The Heroic Slave, and most notably, in his remarkable 1857 speech on the Dred Scott decision—of Douglass gazing into the future, I argue for the centrality of a newly acquired present-oriented perspective as the animating feature of Douglass’s mature pre-Civil War politics and his vision of the possibilities of social and historical transformation.

Full textAbstract:
“I am unable to travel in any part of this country without calling forth illustrations of the dark spirit of slavery at every step.”1 The words of black abolitionist Frederick Douglass, written in 1852, were literal. He meant not only that slavery infiltrated every aspect of American life but also that traveling was hard. From at least the 1810s and until the Civil War, free African Americans in the antebellum North confronted obstacles to their mobility, including racial segregation in public space. It was difficult for a person of color to walk across town without being harassed, but the vehicles of public transportation—stagecoaches, steamships, and railroads—emerged as one of the most notorious spaces for antiblack aggression. Even so, when Douglass voiced his complaint, segregation was not yet the law of the land. It was not until the 1860s that southern states passed segregation laws, and it was not until 1896 that the federal government institutionalized “separate but equal” legislation in the United States....

Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal provided a bonanza for the “Washington Merry-Go-Round.” The president and his cabinet members showered the columnists with strategic leaks, often to test the waters before making official announcements. This enabled Drew Pearson and Robert Allen to scoop the rest of the press corps on pending appointments and other issues. Although Pearson admired Roosevelt and his liberal policies, he resisted playing propagandist. He criticized the administration and irritated Roosevelt by revealing news the president was not yet ready to release. Roosevelt retaliated by prompting General Douglas MacArthur to file a libel suit against the columnists, and by denouncing Pearson as a “chronic liar.” Pearson used the column to attack his father’s critic, Senator Millard Tydings, which Robert Allen regarded as vindictive. The pressures of reporting eventually caused strains between the two columnists, leading Allen to quit the column after Pearson revealed damaging information about General George S. Patton during World War II.

Full textAbstract:
İletişim teknolojileri ile enformasyon ve bilgi arasındaki sorunlu ilişki akademinin önemli tartışma konuları arasında yer almaktadır. Enformasyon bombardımanı, dezenformasyon, misenformasyon gibi kavramlar iletişim araçlarıyla yayılan yanlış, çarpıtılmış, bozuk enformasyona gönderme yapmaktadır. Sağlıksız enformasyon ve bilgi, sağlıklı bir kamuoyunun oluşumu önündeki en büyük engel olarak görülmektedir. Bütün dünyayı etkileyen Covid-19 salgınında da iletişim araçları ile bilgi arasındaki ilişki tekrar gündeme gelmiştir. “Yanlış, çarpıtılmış enformasyon epidemisi / pandemisi” olarak tanımlanabilecek “infodemi” farklı iletişim araçları yoluyla Covid-19 pandemisi hakkında kamuoyuna akan gerçekten uzak enformasyonu tanımlamaktadır. Öte yandan günümüzde görsel imajlar enformasyonun yayılmasında ve anlam üretiminde en önemli kaynak haline gelmiştir. Dijitalleşmeyle birlikte günlük hayatımız her zamankinden fazla yapay görsellerle sarmalanmış imaj dolu kültürle şekillenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın merakı “infodemi görsel imajlar yoluyla nasıl üretilmektedir?” sorusuna dayanmaktadır. Bu amaçla önemli sosyal paylaşım sitelerinden Twitter araştırma evreni olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışmada Türkiye’de Covid 19 aşısı hakkında yayılan infodeminin Twitter’da görsel yolla nasıl üretildiği içerik analiziyle çözümlenmiştir. Çözümleme için Douglas Kellner tarafından önerilen eleştirel görsel okuryazarlık yöntemi benimsenmiştir. Kellner’in önerisi doğrultusunda her kategorinin politik, ideolojik, dini vb. anlam yükleri yorumlanmaya çalışılmıştır.
