La “navegación americana” de los derechos humanos
Authors: Ramírez Sergio García
Published: July 2018

Bajo el concepto de “navegación americana” este artículo describe el curso seguido por las tareas conducentes a la protección de los derechos humanos en América Latina, sobre todo a partir de 1945, fecha de la Conferencia sobre Problemas de la Guerra y de la Paz (Conferencia de Chapultepec). Este desarrollo reviste características propias, derivadas de las circunstancias, posibilidades, problemas y expectativas en el ámbito latinoamericano. El desenvolvimiento de la protección regional de los derechos humanos se halla estrechamente vinculada con los procesos de recuperación y expansión de la democracia en los países del área, cuyos rasgos principales examina el autor. Igualmente, alude a los “puentes” o “vías de comunicación” entre el orden internacional de los derechos humanos y los órdenes nacionales. Analiza el papel del juzgador en esta etapa, destacando su calidad de garante de la observancia de los derechos humanos a través del ejercicio de la jurisdicción, en el que tiene lugar destacado el llamado “control de convencionalidad”. La protección de los derechos humanos apunta hacia la elaboración de un verdadero “ius commune” de los derechos humanos en el espacio latinoamericano, elaboración en la que se advierten avances muy importantes.

Gilmore vs. Urofsky, 216 F.3d 401 (4th Cir. 2000) o conflito entre as dimensões individual e institucional da liberdade acadêmica
Authors: Travincas Amanda Costa Thomé
Published: July 2018

Este estudo propõe-se a discutir o conflito subjacente à proteção jurídica da designada liberdade acadêmica no que toca às suas dimensões individual e institucional. Trata-se de análise de caso realizada a partir de Gilmore vs. Urofsky, com o qual se ocupou o Tribunal de Apelação do Quarto Circuito, no ano 2000. Em derredor do caso, a discussão fincou-se no significado e alcance da proteção à liberdade acadêmica nos EUA, confrontando a tônica conferida pela Declaração de Princípios para a Liberdade Acadêmica (1915), elaborada pela Associação de Professores Universitários Americanos – AAUP, e a interpretação, contumaz no âmbito da jurisprudência da Suprema Corte, no sentido de que se trata de uma liberdade decorrente da Primeira Emenda. O voto do Judge Wilkins arrimou a posição majoritária do Tribunal pela inexistência de um direito subjetivo à liberdade acadêmica. O caso destoa da abordagem que reconhece a titularidade de tal direito a docentes e, em virtude disso, configura importante argumento contrapositivo.
Privacidade e liberdade de expressão na sociedade da informação
Authors: Pezzella Maria Cristina Cereser , Ghisi Silvano
Published: July 2018

As tecnologias de informação e comunicações na Sociedade da Informação permitem capturar a presença humana em diversos ambientes, públicos ou privados, de modo clandestino e sem autorização, e na mesma medida possibilitam a reprodução e exposição das informações (imagens, sons, dados pessoais), muitas vezes transmudadas em criações e obras artísticas, a um universo infindável de pessoas e curiosos. Nesse contexto, o direito à privacidade e o direito à liberdade de expressão são postos em tensão direta e recebem novos elementos, já que as habilidades das tecnologias de informática e comunicação ampliam o espectro criativo assim como as vias de intrusão na vida particular dos indivíduos e violação da privacidade. O equilíbrio entre privacidade e liberdade de expressão perpassa, nesta conformação social, pelo direito à informação nos desdobramentos do direito de informar, de se informar e de ser informado, assim como por um juízo de sopesamento de viés utilitarista, e a análise de casos concretos permite ver que a privacidade vem sofrendo riscos crescentes de aniquilação.
Quando a tradução também importa
Authors: Leal Fernando , Jordão Eduardo
Published: July 2018

Este artigo examina alguns dos principais problemas relacionadas à tradução de textos jurídicos, sobretudo nos campos do direito constitucional, da teoria do direito e do direito administrativo. Ele sugere que a perspectiva funcionalista é a mais adequada para orientar traduções de textos jurídicos. Nesse quadro, equivalência passa a se definir em razão de constância funcional entre o texto-fonte e o texto-alvo, e não simplesmente a partir de correspondência literal.
Adoção e casais do mesmo sexo
Authors: Rodean Neliana
Published: July 2018

The European “backyard of rights” is enlarging and Member States face a new period of acknowledgment of human rights. The guarantee of the new rights occurs both through national legislation and through the jurisprudence of international or supranational courts. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) became the “fourth judge” called to intervene when the domestic legislation is not guardian of new rights regarding the recognition of the same-sex couples but also the adoption of a child by these couples. In this sense, recently the ECtHR ruled that the impossibility of second-parent adoption in a same-sex relationship is  discriminatory when such adoption is possible for unmarried heterosexual couples, although the exclusion of the biological parent. Thus, the decision of the ECtHR established the principle that the adoption of children by same-sex partners should be possible, as it is for heterosexual unmarried couples.
Autocracia da verdade real no direito penal
Authors: De Oliveira Flávio Henrique Franco , De Oliveira Paulo Adalberto Franco
Published: July 2018

O presente trabalho objetiva abordar a base histórica do sistema de prova no direito penal e seus elementos que refletiram na valoração processual da atualidade. Para tanto faz necessário compreender as primeiras apreciações deste instituto, que teve sua formação na antiguidade, ganhando relevância jurídica com o processo investigatório deflagrado pelo direito canônico, bem como pela utilização popular empregada pelo direito consuetudinário. Demonstra que, no pretérito, os mecanismos de apuração dos delitos eram obscuros, desprovidos de um mínimo de formalismo capaz de preservar a dignidade humana, sendo rompido por movimentos avessos ao sistema inquisitivo implantado no passado. A denominada prova absoluta já não possui espaço ordenamento jurídico da atualidade, contudo ainda sobraram resquícios obsoletos de sua utilização medieval.
Acesso ao tratamento

Published: July 2018

O trabalho em tela traz uma correlação entre direitos fundamentais (vida, saúde pública e tratamento médico) e o vetor do ordenamento constitucional brasileiro: a dignidade humana. Nesse sentido, sinaliza uma tendência internacional em conferir tutela especial à saúde e à vida digna, sendo realizado um estudo de caso. Neste, se indaga se o Judiciário deveria intervir em hipótese na qual a Administração Pública presta o serviço de saúde que lhe é demandado, de forma apenas “básica” e não “plena”. A ideia geral que se almeja demonstrar é a de que o tratamento médico digno e especializado está incluso no direito à saúde pública “plena”, como parte da assistência integral devida ao enfermo. Para tanto, se parte da premissa de que a Constituição da República tem força normativa e de que os valores constitucionais devem ter a máxima realização no campo das relações jurídicas.

Authors: Da Silva Brisa Arnoud
Published: July 2018

O artigo examina a premência de mudança de paradigma diante da percepção dos efeitos reflexos da Modernidade Reflexiva da Sociedade de Risco e da estreita relação entre as adversidades sociais e ambientais. O objetivo central visa aglutinar esforços para combater a dinâmica do modelo de desenvolvimento liberal que desencadeia crises generalizadas, que reagem em cadeia. Para tanto, analisa-se a implementação conjugada de instrumentos jurídicos, dentre o direito ao ambiente, direito à saúde, direito à alimentação, o princípio do Mínimo Existencial Ecológico, a responsabilidade da pessoa jurídica, a responsabilidade do Estado, o direito à informação ambiental, o direito à participação, articulados pelo seu caráter interdependente e com o propósito de enfrentar a vulnerabilidade socioambiental multidimensional, que atinge a todos, mas sobretudo os mais vulneráveis. Nesse diapasão, aborda-se o controle social e o auxílio dos movimentos de representação social com as causas comuns de interesse coletivo, na cooperação e inter-relação das demandas das comunidades mais carentes, que vivem a condição de vulnerabilidade em dimensão generalizada, refletindo o caráter de injustiça ambiental. Por fim, trata-se da expectativa do paradigma de eco cidadania, propondo uma resposta emancipatória e sustentável à modernização reflexiva, baseada na transformação cultural que precisa ser assumida para garantir nosso direito ao futuro, envolvendo o homem na preservação da vida em todas as suas formas e na reforma desse modelo de desenvolvimento de tendência destrutiva e egoísta. O método utilizado na elaboração desta investigação foi o indutivo, com as técnicas do referente, categoria, conceitos operacionais, pesquisa bibliográfica e fichamento.

Acesso à justiça
Authors: Romancini Malu , Ribeiro Daniela Menengoti
Published: July 2018

O período pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial, os documentos internacionais e o sentimento de mudança global trouxeram uma evolução positiva considerável em relação aos direitos fundamentais. No entanto, a busca pelo pleno “acesso à justiça” ainda é uma batalha constante. Propor uma definição para esta expressão também é tarefa árdua. O presente trabalho visa chegar a um conceito processual, bem como constitucional do referido instituto. Posteriormente, levando em consideração que o mundo hoje consiste em um cenário de constante violência e desrespeito à figura do ser humano, analisar-se-ão casos brasileiros de desrespeito aos direitos da personalidade levados ao Sistema Interamericano de proteção aos Direitos Humanos a fim de se fazer concretizar o pleno acesso à justiça. Por fim, analisar-se-á se houve ou não o efetivo acesso à justiça tanto no âmbito doméstico quanto no internacional.
Contributo nativista para a emancipação nacional de Cabo Verde entre finais do século XIX e meados do século XX: Alcance e limites
Authors: Guimarães José Marques
Published: July 2018

Difundido a partir do Brasil, o nativismo desempenhou um papel fundamental na luta de resistência dos cabo-verdianos contra a opressão colonial portuguesa desde o início do século XIX.

Esgotada a sua fase separatista pró-brasileira, ganharia novo alento na viragem do século XIX para o século XX, ganhando cada vez mais adeptos entre os intelectuais republicanos, a cuja luta pelos direitos dos autóctones daria novo folego.

Alargando a sua influência no clima de liberdade que acompanhou a implantação e os primeiros tempos da República, os seus adeptos rapidamente conheceram o sabor amargo da desilusão, perante o endurecimento repressivo da política colonial republicana à medida que o regime se aproximava do fim, tendência que se acentuaria irreversivelmente após implantação da ditadura saída do golpe de estado de 28 de maio de 1926.

Conscientes da irreversibilidade da evolução, devido ao isolamento do seu combate por todos aqueles que tinham o dever político de o apoiar, os intelectuais nativistas passariam a refrear a sua intervenção, circunscrevendo-a progressivamente à defesa da identidade cabo-verdiana, sobretudo da sua língua, o crioulo, legado que passariam às gerações que lhes sucederam.

When zero doesn’t mean it and other geomathematical mischief.
Authors: Valls Ricardo A.
Published: July 2018

There is almost not a case in exploration geology, where the studied data doesn’t includes below detection limits and/or zero values, and since most of the geological data responds to lognormal distributions, these “zero data” represent a mathematical challenge for the interpretation. We need to start by recognizing that there are zero values in geology. For example the amount of quartz in a foyaite (nepheline syenite) is zero, since quartz cannot co-exists with nepheline. Another common essential zero is a North azimuth, however we can always change that zero for the value of 360°. These are known as “Essential zeros”, but what can we do with “Rounded zeros” that are the result of below the detection limit of the equipment? Amalgamation, e.g. adding Na2O and K2O, as total alkalis is a solution, but sometimes we need to differentiate between a sodic and a potassic alteration. Pre-classification into groups requires a good knowledge of the distribution of the data and the geochemical characteristics of the groups which is not always available. Considering the zero values equal to the limit of detection of the used equipment will generate spurious distributions, especially in ternary diagrams. Same situation will occur if we replace the zero values by a small amount using non-parametric or parametric techniques (imputation). The method that we are proposing takes into consideration the well known relationships between some elements. For example, in copper porphyry deposits, there is always a good direct correlation between the copper values and the molybdenum ones, but while copper will always be above the limit of detection, many of the molybdenum values will be “rounded zeros”. So, we will take the lower quartile of the real molybdenum values and establish a regression equation with copper, and then we will estimate the “rounded” zero values of molybdenum by their corresponding copper values. The method could be applied to any type of data, provided we establish first their correlation dependency. One of the main advantages of this method is that we do not obtain a fixed value for the “rounded zeros”, but one that depends on the value of the other variable.

Why and How Should Geologists Use Compositional Data Analysis
Authors: Valls Ricardo A.
Published: July 2018

Compositional data arise naturally in several branches of science, including geology. In geochemistry, for example, these constrained data seem to occur typically, when one normalizes raw data or when one obtains the output from a constrained estimation procedure, such as parts per one, percentages, ppm, ppb, molar concentRations, etc. Compositional data have proved difficult to handle statistically because of the awkward constraint that the components of each vector must sum to unity. The special property of compositional data (the fact that the determinations on each specimen sum to a constant) means that the variables involved in the study occur in constrained space defined by the simplex, a restricted part of real space. Pearson was the first to point out dangers that may befall the analyst who attempts to interpret correlations between Ratios whose numerators and denominators contain common parts. More recently, Aitchison, Pawlowsky-Glahn, S. Thió, and other statisticians have develop the concept of Compositional Data Analysis, pointing out the dangers of misinterpretation of closed data when treated with “normal” statistical methods It is important for geochemists and geologists in general to be aware that the usual multivariate statistical techniques are not applicable to constrained data. It is also important for us to have access to appropriate techniques as they become available. This is the principal aim of this book. From a hypothetical model of a copper mineralization associated to a felsic intrusive, with specific relationships between certain elements, I will show how “normal” correlation methods fail to identify some of such embedded relationships and how we can obtain other spurious correlations. From there, I will test the same model after transforming the data using the CRL, ARL, and IRL transformations with the aid of the CoDaPack software. Since I addressed this publication to geologists and geoscientists in general, I have kept to a minimum the mathematical formulae and did not include any theoretical demonstRation. The “mathematical curios geologist”, if such category exists, can find all of those in a list of recommended sources in the reference section. So let us start by introducing the model of mineralization that we will be testing.

A Note on Fourier Transform Conventions Used in Wave Analyses
Authors: Bauck Jerald
Published: July 2018

Temporal and spatial Fourier transforms are natural tools in the study of propagating waves in many applications. For example, the inverse spatial Fourier transform specifies how any wave can be built by summing plane waves. However, sign conventions necessary to describe waves are at odds with sign conventions used in spatio-temporal Fourier transforms. This note describes the problem and shows several ways that authors deal with it.

The location and protection status of Earth’s diminishing marine wilderness

Published: July 2018

As human activities increasingly threaten biodiversity [ 1 , 2 ], areas devoid of intense human impacts are vital refugia [ 3 ]. These wilderness areas contain high genetic diversity, unique functional traits, and endemic species [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]; maintain high levels of ecological and evolutionary connectivity [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]; and may be well placed to resist and recover from the impacts of climate change [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. On land, rapid declines in wilderness [ 3 ] have led to urgent calls for its protection [ 3 , 14 ]. In contrast, little is known about the extent and protection of marine wilderness [ 4 , 5 ]. Here we systematically map marine wilderness globally by identifying areas that have both very little impact (lowest 10%) from 15 anthropogenic stressors and also a very low combined cumulative impact from these stressors. We discover that ∼13% of the ocean meets this definition of global wilderness, with most being located in the high seas. Recognizing that human influence differs across ocean regions, we repeat the analysis within each of the 16 ocean realms [ 15 ]. Realm-specific wilderness extent varies considerably, with >16 million km 2 (8.6%) in the Warm Indo-Pacific, down to <2,000 km 2 (0.5%) in Temperate Southern Africa. We also show that the marine protected area estate holds only 4.9% of global wilderness and 4.1% of realm-specific wilderness, very little of which is in biodiverse ecosystems such as coral reefs. Proactive retention of marine wilderness should now be incorporated into global strategies aimed at conserving biodiversity and ensuring that large-scale ecological and evolutionary processes continue.
In natural interaction with embodied robots we prefer it when they follow our gaze: a gaze-contingent mobile eyetracking study
Authors: Willemse Cesco , Wykowska Agnieszka
Published: July 2018

Initiating joint attention by leading someone’s gaze is a rewarding experience which facilitates social interaction. Here, we investigate this experience of leading an agent’s gaze whilst applying a more realistic paradigm than traditional screen-based experiments. We used an embodied robot as our main “stimulus” and recorded participants’ eye-movements. Participants sat opposite a robot which had one of two ‘identities’ – “Jimmy” or “Dylan”. Participants were asked to look at one of two objects presented on screens to the left and the right of the robot. Jimmy then looked at the same object in 80% of the trials and at the other object in the remaining 20%. For Dylan, this proportion was reversed. Upon fixating on the object of choice, participants were asked to look back at the robot’s face. We found that return-to-face saccades were conducted earlier toward Jimmy when he followed the gaze compared with when he did not. For Dylan, there was no such effect. Additional measures indicated that our participants also preferred Jimmy and liked him better. This study demonstrates a) the potential of technological advances to examine joint attention where ecological validity meets experimental control, and b) that social reorienting is enhanced when we initiate joint attention.
“Black-and-White” thinking: Does visual contrast polarize moral judgment? Independent replications and extension of Zarkadi and Schnall’s (2013) Study 1
Authors: Vezirian Kevin , Sarda Elisa , Laine Pierre-Jean , begue laurent , IJzerman Hans
Published: July 2018

Does a black-and-white contrast background lead to more extreme moral judgments? Zarkadi and Schnall (2013) found in their Study 1 (N = 111) that, indeed, exposing English-speaking participants to a black-and-white (versus two other-colored conditions) background polarized participants’ judgments in a moral dilemma task. This study supported a moral intuitionist model of moral judgment, lent further support to so-called Conceptual Metaphor Theories (Lakoff & Johnson, 1999), and provided evidence that not only the colors “black” and “white” influence our moral perception, but that the metaphorical associations with the combination of those two colors (i.e., “black-and-white thinking”, Yin-Yang) led people to have more extreme moral judgments. Due to the striking nature of this finding, yet given various factors that undermine confidence in its veracity, we have decided to re-examine the question. A first study conducted on a large French-speaking sample (N = 8,602), and two subsequent direct replications conducted on English-speaking samples (N = 365 and N = 215), failed to reveal any influence of background color on the evaluation of a moral dilemma. Numerous exploratory and supplementary analyses, including controlling for relevant covariates associated with variations in morality (e.g., age, gender), did not account for our consistent inability to replicate the original findings. This research suggests that age may influence perceived morality, with older participants (at least in Study 1) viewing Heinz's behavior as more wrong. Overall, this research suggests that it is doubtful that the evaluation of the Heinz’s dilemma can be influenced by a subtle black-and-white visual priming.
Trust and Fertility Dynamics
Authors: Aassve Arnstein , Billari Francesco Candeloro , Pessin Léa
Published: July 2018

We argue that the divergence in fertility trends in advanced societies is influenced by the interaction of long-standing differences in generalized trust with the increase in women's educational attainment. Our argument builds on the idea that trust enhances individuals’ and couples’ willingness to outsource childcare to outside their extended family. This becomes critically important as women's increased education leads to greater demand for combining work and family life. We test our hypothesis using data from the World Values Survey and European Values Study on 36 industrialized countries between the years 1981 and 2009. Multilevel statistical analyses reveal that the interaction between national-level generalized trust and cohort-level women's education is positively associated with completed fertility. As education among women expands, high levels of generalized trust moderate fertility decline.

Belajar merupakan suatu proses keterkaitan antara peserta didik, pendidikan, dan materi yang diajarkan dalam lingkungan belajar. Oleh karena itu, belajar dapat terjadi kapan saja dan di mana saja. Dalam hal ini, pendidik dituntut untuk menggunakan media yang ada. Selain itu, pendidik juga harus siap dengan perubahan media yang sesuai dengan perubahan teknologi. Pengajaran yang menggunakan media seperti televisi, laptop, film, proyektor, video, ponsel pintar, dan tablet biasanya disebut dengan pembelajaran berbasis multimedia. Berkaitan dengan pembelajaran bahasa dewasa ini, setiap orang semakin menyadari bahwa pengajaran bahasa secara tradisional tidak lagi efektif untuk menunjang kebutuhan peserta didik. Begitu juga dengan pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris, guru juga dituntut dapat menggunakan multimedia dalam proses pembelajaran demi mewujudkan pembelajaran yang menyenangkan dan efektif daripada menggunakan media tradisional yang diasumsikan cepat membosankan. Tanpa dipungkiri bahwa pembelajaran tradisional yang diterapkan oleh pendidik pada pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris merupakan kurangnya penguasaan iptek oleh guru. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi masalah, didapatkan bahwa guru-guru Bahasa Inggris tingkat dasar dan menengah di Kecamatan Bungah, Gresik masih menggunakan media tradisional sehingga perlu diberikan sosialisasi dan pelatihan penerapan multimedia dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris agar tercipta suatu proses berlajar yang menarik, efektif, dan menyenangkan.
Thermoplastic Blends of PP and Waste Rubber Powder: Effects of Compatibilizer on Tensile Properties, Thermal Behavior and Decomposition Kinetics
Authors: Yang J.-N. , Nie S.-B. , Huang X.-H. , Ding G.-X. , Zhu J.-B.
Published: July 2018

To improve the performances of waste rubber powder filled polypropylene (PP/WRP) blends, WRP was modified by γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) via mechano-chemical method, and then maleic anhydride (MAH) grafted PP (mPP) and MAH grafted ethylene-α-octene copolymer (mEOC) were chosen as the interfacial compatibilizers. The PP/WRP blends were prepared by melt-compounding and compression, and their morphological structures, tensile properties and thermal behavior were investigated carefully. Results showed that modification of APTES decreased the surface energy of WRP and facilitated its compatibility to PP. Both mPP and mEOC could further enhance their interfacial bonding and mPP was superior to mEOC in increasing the tensile strength and elastic modulus. Thermal analysis revealed relative lower melting temperature and crystallinity but higher activation energy for PLA/WRP blends in comparison to pristine PP.
Numerical Investigations of Fiber Orientation Models for Injection Molded Long Fiber Composites
Authors: Tseng H.-C. , Chang R.-Y. , Hsu C.-H.
Published: July 2018

Understanding the effect of fiber orientation on mechanical properties is a primary consideration for long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics in automotive applications. In injection-molded parts, the classical Folgar-Tucker model has been used to predict the shell-core structure of short fiber orientation patterns. However, this model results in a thinner core region for long fiber composites. Recently, the RSC (Reduced Strain Closure), ARD (Anisotropic Rotary Diffusion), and iARD-RPR (improved ARD and Retarding Principal Rate) models are potential models developed in relation to suspension rheology. In addition to improving the inaccurate predictions, a so-called inlet condition of fiber orientation set at the gate is examined in the RSC. In this approach, a significant requirement is to numerically investigate the nature of the shell-core structure, while validating a predictive difference between the orientation models via related experimental data. Dramatic changes in the orientation distribution at various filling times and mold temperatures are discussed herein.
A Study of Concentrated Suspensions in Polyethylene Melts and the Impact on Viscosity and Polymer Processing Operations
Authors: Wetzel M. D. , Campbell G. A.
Published: July 2018

Filled polymer compounds can present processing challenges, including poor dispersive mixing, high screw shaft torque and energy consumption, flow instabilities, and significant increases in melt pressures and temperatures. Previous theoretical development and experimental evaluations of polymer melts filled with particulate solids showed that the viscosity can be described with a model based on percolation theory concepts. This paper describes a batch mixer characterization method developed to measure the effects of filler concentration and operating conditions on the melt viscosity and process response. Experimental results are compared with capillary rheometer measurements using several low-density polyethylene resins, calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide. The theoretical treatment of the viscosity as a particulate percolating system with power-law behavior was used to analyze and compare rheometer and batch mixer data. The effects of resin molecular weight, filler type and size on viscosity and melt processing were examined and there was good agreement between rheometer and mixer viscosity trends, and percolation model predictions. The laboratory experiments and model estimates provide quantitative information that can be used to develop and troubleshoot extrusion compounding, single screw extrusion and low-shear forming processes.
Symbolic Profile of the Bahá’í Faith

Advanced study of the Bahá’í Faith must still deal with basics. While considerable progress has been made in historical research on Bábí and Bahá’í origins, much foundational work in Bahá’í Studies remains to be done at the level of text. Based on primary sources, this study will present a “symbolic profile” of Bahá’í consciousness, to the extent that it is shaped by the writings of Bahá’u’lláh and ancillary texts. To order and classify the symbols, this profile will employ Ninian Smart’s dimensional model of religion, using the present writer’s acronym, DREEMS (Doctrinal, Ritual, Ethical, Experiential, Mythic, Social). Sherry Ortner’s key symbols paradigm, consisting of thought-orientating “root metaphors” and action-inciting “key scenarios,” completes the profile, while John Wansbrough provides insight into the formation of a new religious ethos through a process of symbolic transformation. This study will highlight some of the predominant Bahá’í symbols, to which others will surely be added.
Strategies for Spiritualization
Authors: Fotos Sandra
Published: July 2018

Like the ability to use language, possession of spiritual attributes and qualities is a defining characteristic of the human species. Evidence from the Bahá’í writings suggests that, similar to the capacity to learn one’s first language, spiritual qualities and virtues exist innately in the young child as easily activated potential states that are subject to critical period constraints as the child matures. In the adult, although the innate capacity to manifest spiritual attributes is still present, its activation appears to occur more through an information-processing approach similar to the way other new skills are learned. Educational research has found that students who use learning strategies are more successful in developing new skills than those who do not report strategy use. If the spiritualization process in adults is similar to other learning tasks, then active use of learning strategies may facilitate the development of spiritual virtues. This article discusses a possible cognitive, language-based pathway for spiritualization and then examines the application of learning strategies to the spiritualization process.
‘Double Sorrow’
Authors: Tasioulas Jacqueline
Published: July 2018

The connection between Henryson’s Testament of Cresseid and Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde is made evident from the outset of Henryson’s poem. It is not, however, the only work of Chaucer’s that infuses the Testament, for the Scottish poet reaches towards Anelida and Arcite in the complaint d’amour that is delivered at the climax of the work. This article considers the effect that the echoes of this text have upon judgement of Cresseid and of Troilus, and the complex embedded layers of what constitutes ‘truth’, whether for the lover, the narrator or the reader. It explores the notion of ‘doubleness’ of thought in both works, initiated by Chaucer in his exploration of the complex loves of Anelida and Arcite, and pursued by Henryson in a poem that takes textual and amatory doubleness as its foundation.
Hateful Contraries in ‘The Merchant’s Tale’
Authors: Fyler John M.
Published: July 2018

Whether or not we choose to identify the narrator of ‘The Merchant’s Tale’ as the Merchant described in the ‘General Prologue’, this narrative voice is certainly not Chaucer’s own, and it augments the malignity of the tale it tells. The narrator attacks a naïve fool from a disenchanted perspective, but unwittingly reveals the continuing blindness within his own knowing stance. The tale debunks all the noble, even sacred ideals it presents, and characterizes them as foolishly innocent elevations of the spiritual in a world defined by the body in its grossest aspects. The narrator’s rhetorical tropes, floridly presented and habitually misused, gesture towards a sordid reality that they pretend to gloss over. Yet despite itself, the tale implies a psychologically healthy middle ground outside the experience of the narrator or his characters, where body and soul, real and ideal, experience and innocence can meet.
Chaucer's Tears
Authors: Windeatt Barry
Published: July 2018

Interpretation of the many instances of weeping by Chaucer’s characters is a key aspect of understanding his works. This article explores the relevance of models provided by tears in devotional contexts for viewing tears not simply as a corporeal symptom of emotion but as a mode of discourse that is as potent as it is paradoxical: both outward and inward, involuntary and applied, and forming a distinctive voice between passive and active.
