Subject: Re: WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL STUDIES EUROPE (WISE)

So far as I am concerned, the "recent" (comparatively speaking, since we
concentrate of the C18th) growth of adjectival studies, i.e., studies with
adjectives in front of them (Women's Studies, Black/Afro-American Studies,
Jewish Studies, etc.) is nothing more than the continued fragmentation
of research. My response? "So what!" That is the nature of the enterprise,
it has been that way, and it will continue to hone in onto smaller and smaller
pieces.

How that hinders research is beyond me. Seems to me it enhances it. Let's
have more, not less of this focused inquiry, lest we never fully understand
our past.

         A new exhibit entitled "Mind and Body: Ren'e Descartes to
         William James" opened at the National Library of Medicine on
         7 August and will close on 15 December.  The exhibit is
         co-sponsored by the American Psychological Association and
         is being held in honor of the APA's centennial celebration.

Subject:      New List: Discussion of Social History

The social history list is now up and available for subscription.
The address of the list is:

        SOCHIST@UCBVM

To subscribe, send e-mail to

        LISTSERV@UCBVM or listserv@ucbvm.bitnet (as appropriate)

with the single line:

        SUBSCRIBE SOCHIST your-email-address your-full-name

for instance, my subscription message would be:

        SUBSCRIBE SOCHIST bob@halfdome.sf.ca.us bob pasker

Briefly, this list will address three aspects of what is called the
"New Social History":

(1) emphasis on quantitative data rather than an analysis of prose
sources.

(2) borrowing of methodologies from the social sciences, such as
linguistics, demographics, anthropology, etc.

(3) the examination of groups which have been ignored by traditional
disciplines (i.e. the history of women, families, children, labor,
etc.)

At present, some of the list members are discussing the question of
exactly what social history is.  If you have something to contribute
or if you are interested to learn more, i encourage to you subscribe.

if you have comments or questions, please feel free to e-mail.

Subject: Re: WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL STUDIES EUROPE (WISE)

Professor Felscher comments that "women's studies" groups are
detrimental to research and objects to publishing the notice. Hmmm.
Well, I don't, personally, do "women's studies" per se, but I thought
that the term meant studies of women and women's work--a neglected
subject still (although it's catching up fast). I have found, for
example, Laurel T. Ulrich's *A Midwife's Tale* a most fascinating and
useful study not only of the life of women in 18th-century American,
but also a very helpful book for those learning how to read 18th-
century dairies.
A valid objection might be that there should be more "men's studies"--
but I believe censoring announcements is not a good idea. Here, at
least, is an appropriate place to call for freedom of choice.

Would anyone know the whereabouts or existence of any MS or other material
 relating to James Miller, the playwright and author of Harlequin-Horace?  I was
 told there was a British dissertation, but I've not been able to trace it
 (perhaps it was never finished or is in progress).  I'm especially interested
 in any material or information that would associate him with the anti-Walpole
 group of writers around Bolingbroke or Prince Frederick.

Subject:      common law

 I've been recently looking at the debate between Raoul Berger and H.
Jefferson Powell over the original intent of the American founders
regarding constitutional interpretation.  They disagree as to whether the
hermeneutical rules of English common law allowed or would have allowed one
to look outside of the text, for example statute, in question.  I have
looked at many of the sources they cite regarding English common law.
However recently I read Donald Lutz's _The Origins of American
Constitutionalism_ in which he argues that much of what we find in the
American constitution can be attributed to uniquely American traditions.
All this as a lead-in to my question:  Can anyone point me to books,
articles, or (preferably) primary sources which discuss unique American
approaches to constitutional interpretation?  I mean pre-1787.  This means
we're probably talking about developments in individual colonies or states.
 I would like to see if I can somehow apply Donald Lutz's general thesis to
break some new ground on the entrenched debate between Berger and Powell.
You may respond to me directly if you wish, although it doesn't really
matter to me.  Thanks, Brian Burchett.  e-mail to Brian.J.Burchett.1@nd.edu

Revolutionary France."  Papers are invited on the following topics:
     * women as producers of texts;
     * the reception of texts by women;
     * problems in the retrieval and editing of early texts;
     * the canon and genre as problematic to women writers;
     * ecriture feminine in early works.
Send a one-page abstract to Hannah Fournier or Jean-Philippe Beaulieu,

3554.

[Sorry for the lateness of this call -- it just came across our desk today.
Perhaps a phone call or fax might extend the deadline a few days, if you
have a paper you'd like to give -- meanwhile, C18-L always welcomes other
volunteers to post calls like this.  It's easy to do!  You can type it up
on your own word processor, export it as ASCII text, upload it to your

volunteers, and there is only so much your humble obedient savant can
accomplish in one lifetime.  - Kevin Berland for C18-L]

NNR can be built to use either REXTCPIP or RXSOCKET (which requires
FAL2).  I believe the Pascal NNTP driver that came with the original
version of NNR has been, or will soon be, eliminated.

Paul Campbell, NNR's author, has said that the RXSOCKET version is
more reliable, because of the changes in the TCP support between 
FAL1 (VMCF only) and FAL2 (IUCV as well as VMCF).

If you have access to CompuServe, you should check out the APPC forum there.
GO APPC to get to it. This is an IBM supported forum, but it's not restricted
to just IBM platforms. I'm sure that there are plenty of forum user's that
can help you with your question.

My company has also written in-house APPC applications. We use APPC between
CICS, IMS, and PC platforms. We're also using vendor APPC application to do
file transfer between our MVS hosts to a mixture of mini and micro computer
platforms. The file transfer program is XCOM 6.2 from Legent Corporation. FYI,
Legent just recently bought out Spectrum Concepts to obtain the rights to the
XCOM 6.2 product line.

the silly mistake.  If you want an example, mail me, and I'll send you the
latest one.  However, that's not what you really want to hear.  Sorry.

Students tend not to read propaganda.  They really don't care what you're
doing right.  It's never enough.  I know this is frustrating, but that's
the way it is.  They want to hear about how you're screwing up, and there's
nothing you can do to change that, short of marshal law.

Another point i'd like to bring up:  About 5 years ago, the last president
of our college was looked at very poorly by the paper.  So he decided to
make his on newspaper, in hopes of destroying the other paper.  Needless to
say, students, alumni, and administration rebelled at this outrage.  His
paper, The Paradigm, only lasted a few issues, until he resigned.

Perhaps the best thing you can do is try to work with your school paper.  A
lot of problems with articles arise from incomplete stories, where the
actual facts would make the story sound MUCH better.
