The Rural Cemetery Movement
Authors: Smith Jeffrey
Published: November 2024

When Mount Auburn opened as the first “rural” cemetery in the United States in 1831, it represented a new way for Americans to think about burial sites. It broke with conventional notions about graveyards as places to bury and commemorate the dead. Rather, the founders of Mount Auburn and the spate of similar cemeteries that followed over the next three decades before the Civil War created institutions that they envisioned being used by the living in new ways. Cemeteries became places for leisure, communing with nature, and creating a version of collective memory. In fact, these cemeteries reflected changing values and attitudes of Americans spanning much of the nineteenth century. In the process, they became paradoxical: they were “rural” yet urban, natural yet designed, artistic yet industrial, commemorating the dead yet used by the living.

The Rural Cemetery Movement: Places of Paradox in Nineteenth-Century America breaks new ground in the history of cemeteries in the nineteenth century. This book examines these “rural” cemeteries modeled after Mount Auburn that were founded between the 1830s and 1850s. As such, it provides a new way of thinking about these spaces and new paradigm for seeing and visiting them. While they fulfilled the sacred function of burial, they were first and foremost businesses. The landscape and design, regulation of gravestones, appearance, and rhetoric furthered their role as a business that provided necessary services in cities that went well beyond merely burying bodies. They provided urban green spaces and respites from urban life, established institutions where people could craft their roles in collective memory, and served as prototypes for both urban planning and city parks.

These cemeteries grew and thrived in the second half of the nineteenth century; for most, the majority of their burials came before 1910. This expansion of cemeteries coincided with profound urban growth in the United States. Unlike their predecessors, founders of these burial grounds intended them to be used in many ways that reflected their views and values about nature, life and death, and relationships. Emphasis on worldly accomplishments increased with industrialization and growth in the United States, which was reflected in changing ways people commemorated their dead during the period under this study. Thus, these cemeteries are a prism through which to understand the values, attitudes, and culture of urban America from mid-century through the Progressive Era.

Apprenticeship Pilgrimage
Authors: Miller Lauren E. , Marion Jonathan S.
Published: November 2024

Lauren Miller Griffith and Jonathan S. Marion introduce the concept of apprenticeship pilgrimage to help explain why performers travel to places both near and far in an attempt to increase both their skill and their legitimacy within various genres of art and activity. What happens when your skill-level surpasses local training opportunities, whether in dance, martial arts, or other skills and practices? Apprenticeship Pilgrimage provides a new and exciting model of apprenticeship pilgrimages—including local, regional, opportunistic, and virtual—that practitioners undertake to develop embodied knowledge, skills, and legitimacy unavailable at home. For most people, there is a limit to how much training is available from the teachers and classes at home. As skill and know-how increase, the resources and training opportunities available become limits on one’s learning. Similarly, a practitioner’s legitimacy may be suspect without exposure to appropriate cultural context, such as ties with the homeland of certain dance forms or martial arts. Whether for skill alone, or activity-specific legitimacy, individuals may feel compelled to travel for training. Such travelers see themselves quite differently from other tourists, and the seriousness with which they pursue their journeys makes it appropriate to call them pilgrims. Given the goal of learning from and developing their own skills by training with experts at their destinations, apprenticeship pilgrims is even more appropriate. Rather than focus on specific geographic regions or genres of apprenticeship, this book builds a robust theoretical framework for understanding the role of travel for developing expertise in embodied genres. This book links and expands on the existing scholarship concerning anthropologies of education and tourism, but takes new strides in exploring the global circumstances wherein skill development requires travel. Throughout, the authors use apprenticeship pilgrimage as a robust new framework for considering the interrelated roles of going, learning, and doing for identity construction within contemporary globalization.

Neoliberalizing Spaces in the Philippines
Authors: Ortega Arnisson Andre
Published: November 2024

Amidst the recent global financial crisis and housing busts in various countries, the Philippines’ booming housing industry has been heralded as “Southeast Asia’s hottest real estate hub” and the saving grace of a supposedly resilient Philippine economy. This growth has been fueled by demand from balikbayan (returnee) Overseas Filipinos and has facilitated the rise of gated suburban communities in Manila’s sprawling peri-urban fringe. But as the “Filipino dreams” of successful balikbayans are built inside these new gated residential developments, the lives of marginalized populations living in these spaces have been upended and thrown into turmoil as they face threats of expulsion.

Based on almost four years of research, this book examines the tumultuous geographies of neoliberalization that link suburbanization, transnational mobilities, and accumulation by dispossession. Through an accounting of real estate and new suburban landscapes, it tells of a Filipino transnationalism that engenders a market-based and privatized suburban political economy that reworks socio-spatial relations and class dynamics. In presenting the literal and discursive transformations of spaces in Manila’s peri-urban fringe, the book details life inside new gated suburban communities and discusses the everyday geographies of “privileged” new property owners—mainly comprised of balikbayan families—and exposes the contradictions of gated suburban life, from resistance to Home Owner Association rules to alienating feelings of loss. It also reveals the darker side of the property boom by mapping the volatile spaces of the Philippines’ surplus populations comprised of the landless farmers, informal settler residents, and indigenous peoples. To make way for gated communities and other profitable developments in the peri-urban region, marginalized residents are systematically dispossessed and displaced while concomitantly offered relocation to isolated socialized housing projects, the last frontier for real estate accumulation.

These compelling accounts illustrate how the territorial embeddedness of neoliberalization in the Philippines entails the consolidation of capital by political-economic elites and privatization of residential space for an idealized transnational property clientele. More than ever, as the Philippines is being reshaped by diaspora and accumulation by dispossession, the contemporary moment is a critical time to reflect on what it truly means to be a nation.
Bombay Going
Authors: Åsman Susanne
Published: November 2024

Susanne Åsman's compelling ethnographic account examines migration for sex work in the Sindhupalchowk district of Nepal. Åsman explores how this migration, known as "Bombay Going," is understood by the locals. With a focus on agency, Åsman investigates how the migrants carve out a space for themselves and create relatedness in the spaces in between, from their homes in rural Nepal to the brothels of Mumbai. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of sex trafficking, gender, migration, or the global south.
Queering Multiculturalism
Authors: Karademir Aret
Published: November 2024

Queering Multiculturalism argues for group-specific rights for ethno-cultural minorities, but without ignoring that such rights may lead to ethnic chauvinism, balkanization, and the cultural marginalization of minorities-within-minorities, such as ethnic LGBT people. Thus, it aims to construct a liberal theory of minority rights to accommodate ethno-cultural diversity without destroying ethno-sexual diversity, and without privileging one type of minority group over another.
Adam and Eve in Scripture, Theology, and Literature
Authors: Ely Peter B.
Published: November 2024

Adam and Eve in Scripture, Theology, and Literature: Sin, Compassion, and Forgiveness is an extended consideration of the narrative of Adam and Eve, first seen in the Hebrew Bible but given new life by St. Paul in the New Testament. Paul’s treatment of Adam and Eve, especially his designation of Christ as a second Adam, has had an enormous influence in Christianity. Peter Ely follows this rich narrative as it develops in history, providing the basis of the doctrine of original sin in Christianity, giving rise in modern times to theological speculation, and entering thematically into mysticism and literature. The power of the adamic narrative can only be realized if one treats it as a true but non-historical myth. The “truth” of the myth lies in its ability to stimulate thinking and so reveal the depths of human experience. Augustine understood that, so did Julian of Norwich, and even the Belgian author of mystery stories, Georges Simenon, who had a deep sense of the universality of human weakness and the possibilities of redeeming what was lost. Simenon’s detective Maigret saw himself as a “mender of destinies.” The doctrine of original sin, the notion that human beings share a common vulnerability, can open the way to compassion and forgiveness. As Shakespeare illustrates in Measure for Measure, the awareness of weakness in ourselves should move us to compassion for others. The recognition of a kind of “democracy of sin” can keep us from considering ourselves better than others, unlike them in their weakness, and entitled to stand in judgment of them. Thus, compassion opens the door to forgiveness. The progress from sin to compassion to forgiveness forms the heart of this work.
From Huntington to Trump
Authors: Haynes Jeffrey
Published: November 2024

From Huntington to Trump argues that the “clash of civilizations,” an idea first raised three decades ago by Bernard Lewis and endorsed by Samuel Huntington, has created a template for understanding the world which has been adopted by both the United Nations and right-wing populist politicians in Europe and the United States of America. Haynes traces the development of the “clash of civilizations” from the colonial period through the end of the Cold War and 9/11 and analyzes its effects on society.
Political Kinship in Pakistan
Authors: Lyon Stephen M.
Published: November 2024

In Political Kinship in Pakistan, Stephen M. Lyon illustrates how contemporary politics in Pakistan are built on complex kinship networks created through marriage and descent relations. Lyon points to kinship as a critical mechanism for understanding both Pakistan’s continued inability to develop strong and stable governments, and its incredible durability in the face of pressures that have led to the collapse and failure of other states around the world.
Vertragliche Ausgestaltung des faktischen Aktienkonzerns
Authors: Steppan Tim
Published: November 2024

Avoiding the liability of the group as an economic unit, which is characterized by European law, is a concern of every company. However, there is a discrepancy between liability and the ability to exert influence on affiliated companies, particularly in the de facto stock corporation groups. In order to overcome this discrepancy, lawyers have increasingly been using so-called relationship agreements in recent years. The study deals with the legal admissibility of these, focusing on the competencies of the companies managing bodies and the law on groups of companies.

Most of the fishing family (61.67%) is usually consisted of 4-5 members and they engaged in fishing for 6-10 (53.33%) years. Among the fishing community about 10% was illiterate, 23.33% was primary group and 61.67% was secondary group. About 46.07% of the fishermen received health advices from rural community doctors, 35% from upazila health complex and 18.33% got health service from MBBS doctors. The current survey showed that the average annual income by fishing was 13000±3000 BDT and mostly 51.67% are engaged in secondary jobs. The findings also showed that 91.67% of fishermen had electrical facilities and 86.67% drank safe water from tube well though they had homes made of wood and tin (70%). This assessment suggest that they need more institutional, organizational and technical and credit support for their socio-economic betterment and sustainable livelihood.
Ein Bild des Leidens der sudetendeutschen Brüder und Schwestern oder eine Provokation? Zur Rezeption Friedrich Jaksch-Bodenreuths Roman Alle Wasser Böhmens fließen nach Deutschland
Authors: Brunová Marie
Published: November 2024

Bohemia, a land inhabited by two nations who had always fought for land – the long-established Germans and the Czechs who immigrated later. After the end of the Habsburg monarchy and the founding of the Czechoslovak Republic, Czech influence grew and the Germans had no choice but to fight – to fight to preserve their homeland and their identity. This is how the main message of the novel Alle Wasser Böhmens fließen nach Deutschland [All the Waters of Bohemia Flow to Germany] by the Sudeten German writer Friedrich Jaksch-Bodenreuth could be summarised succinctly. While the novel was met with enthusiasm on the German part, it was banned in Czechoslovakia and its author had to flee the country.
Die Anfänge der modernen tschechischen Dichtung im Spiegel der Rezensionskritik
Authors: Dobiáš Dalibor
Published: November 2024

The paper considers how critical reviews in Central European journals could contribute to the formation of modern Czech poetry at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries and in the first two decades of the 19th century, until the disputes around 1817 about prosody and poetic autonomy in general significantly affected its discourse. It places these mostly anonymous reviews within the broader framework of reviews of poetry in German and Czech from the Bohemian Lands, especially those in the major review journals (Jenaische allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung, Leipziger Literatur- Zeitung, Annalen der österreichischen Literatur, etc.), in which Bohemian and Moravian contributors also found a place, given the obstacles to the development of domestic periodicals. It argues that this criticism had discussed the constitution of a modern authorial type, which was, however, especially in domestic Bohemian and Moravian post-revolutionary conditions strongly concentrated on general social benefit of literature. Early Czech-language poets of Antonín Jaroslav Puchmajer’s circle asserted themselves with a similar social emphasis in self-criticism in the Viennese Annalen, taking into account the still partly scholarly nature of period criticism and representative values of Czech as a kingdom’s language. Characteristically of this scholarly-publicist criticism in contemporary Central Europe, most attention was paid to works such as Joseph Müller’s translation of The Tale of Igor’s Campaign, Meinert’s Der Fylgie or The Manuscript of Dvůr Králové, that could “shed light” on the former role of poetry for nations and open up ways for its modern authors (see similar German discussions on the Nibelungenlied among emerging national philologists and poets).

РУХОВІ ЯКОСТІ: ПРОБЛЕМИ ТЕРМІНОЛОГІЧНОГО АПАРАТУ
Authors: Носко Микола , Носко Юлія
Published: November 2024

Поняття «рухові якості», «рухові навички й уміння» є часто вживаними у процесі фізичного виховання, зокрема в освітньому дискурсі, а також у спортивному процесі тренування. Авторів, які вивчають розвиток рухових якостей і формування рухових умінь і навичок, немало. Проте часто дослідники мають власне  тлумачення й визначення цих головних чинників у фізичній культурі та спорті. Наші аргументи й висновки ґрунтуються на першоджерелах класиків біомеханіки, а також на власних дослідженнях, що в подальшому має бути приведене до спільного знаменника.
Мета роботи – на підґрунті джерельних даних (літературних джерел), дати правильне визначення та класифікувати рухові якості, уміння й навички.
Методологія дослідження поґрунтована на вивченні класиків біомеханіки та методичних принципах диференційного підходу до визначення рухових якостей, умінь і навичок.
Наукова новизна дослідження полягає саме в правильному визначенні й тлумаченні рухових якостей, навичок і вмінь як у біомеханіці, так і в інших навчальних дисциплінах: теорії та методиці фізичного виховання, теорії спорту тощо.
Висновки. Дослідження історичної джерельної бази дають підґрунтя зробити такі висновки: рухові якості розвиваються, а рухові вміння і навички формуються.
МЕТОДИЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ НАВЧАННЯ ОПОРНИМ СТРИБКАМ У ОСНОВНІЙ ШКОЛІ
Authors: Кривенко Анатолій , Черняков Володимир
Published: November 2024

У статті розглядаються особливості техніки виконання опорних стрибків способами «зігнувши ноги» та «ноги нарізно» через козла, які вивчають в основній школі. Описано фази опорних стрибків, запропоновано підвідні вправи та розкрито особливості їх виконання.
Аналіз відеоматеріалів свідчить, що значна частина вчителів фізичної культури мають недостатній рівень практичної, теоретичної та методичної підготовки. Це негативно впливає на ефективність навчання учнів опорним стрибкам. Для зручності аналізу техніки опорного стрибка необхідно виділити окремі фази, що значно полегшує вивчення основ техніки та аналіз помилок, які допускають учні. Ефективність навчання опорним стрибкам значною мірою залежить від рівня попередньої фізичної підготовки учнів та від правильно підібраних підвідних вправ. Проте, дуже часто формальний підхід до якості виконання підвідних вправ не забезпечує правильного виконання учнями окремих фаз опорних стрибків.
Мета статті. Розкрити методичні особливості навчання опорним стрибкам в основній школі.
Методи дослідження. Для досягнення поставленої мети використано такі методи: аналіз та узагальнення даних науково-методичної літератури та відеоматеріалів із мережі Інтернет, педагогічне спостереження.
Наукова новизна полягає в уточненні та доповненні відомостей про методичні особливості навчання опорним стрибкам в основній школі. Встановлено та обґрунтовано основні підходи щодо підвищення ефективності навчання опорним стрибкам.
Висновки. Ефективність навчання опорним стрибкам в основній школі залежить від рівня фахової підготовки вчителя фізичної культури. Опорні стрибки мають складну структуру рухів, тому навчати техніці цих вправ найбільш доцільно за окремими фазами. Такий розподіл визначає основну спрямованість окремих фаз рухової дії. Вчитель, який володіє біомеханічним аналізом техніки опорних стрибків, зможе краще вибирати необхідні засоби і методи навчання для вирішення основного завдання рухової дії.

Висновки. Констатовано, що використання моніторингу дозволяє здійснювати оцінювання поточного стану соматичного здоров’я здобувачів вищої освіти та прогнозувати можливі зрушення. Виявлено, що праці більшості дослідників спрямовані на вивчення особливостей та розроблення методик формування постави. Застосування технологій моніторингу постави й оцінювання просторового розташування біоланок тіла досліджуваних зумовлено матеріально-технічним забезпечення підрозділу та кваліфікацією персоналу. Визначено, щ розвиток постави залежать від численних факторів, де ключовими є формування вигинів хребта і балансу м’язів, що утримують тіло у вертикальному положенні. Важливим чинником впливу на формування постави здобувачів вищої освіти є рівень рухової активності. Встановлено, що одержані дані щодо стану постави здобувачів вищої освіти дозволять вносити корективи в робочі програми навчальних дисциплін, розробляти комплекси фізичних вправ, які спрямовані на розвиток гнучкості в суглобах певних біоланок тіла, розвитку м’язів хребетного стовпа.

A Study on the Description Related to Buddhism in Religious Studies: Focusing on National Curriculum and Textbooks
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Religious Education, Kim Eunyoung
Published: November 2024

[Objective] This study aims to examine the portrayal of Buddhism in the 'Religious Studies' subject curriculum and textbooks. This analysis aims to evaluate the alignment between the national curriculum and textbooks, which serve as the primary instructional tools in the educational context.
[Contents] To achieve this objective, I closely examined two 'Religious Studies' textbooks approved by the Office of Education. I compared and analyzed the structure and content of the curriculum alongside the textbook materials, focusing on key Buddhist concepts. Additionally, I sought to determine the extent to which these textbooks reflect the curriculum guidelines and standards.
[Conclusions] First, in both the religious studies curriculum and textbooks, Buddhism is primarily depicted as a world religion and a traditional Korean religion, with many of its concepts and theories presented appropriately. Second, the treatment of Buddhism’s role as a modern Korean religion is relatively brief. Third, while the two textbooks share many similarities, the later version incorporates improvements over its predecessor. To maintain this alignment and address limitations in future editions, I recommend the following: greater attention should be paid to enhancing the diversity and expertise of the authorship and review committees, as well as addressing the necessity of developing comprehensive teacher guides.
Narrative Inquiry into Becoming a Catholic Educator
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Religious Education, Kim Yulok
Published: November 2024

[Objective] The purpose of this study is to use narrative inquiry to explore the process of change in Catholic school teachers’ life experiences as they internalise Catholic educational philosophy as their own and ‘becoming’ Catholic Educators.
[Contents] Underpinning the participants’ experience of becoming Catholic educators was their faith in a God who loves human beings. This led Catholic educators to care for the lives of their learners, to integrate culture, faith and life in their teaching and learning activities, and to form communities of communion.
[Conclusions] The conclusions of this study are as follows. In the process of becoming Catholic educators, a Christian human perspective is the basis of their understanding of the human person and the world and the foundation of their educational activity. Through this, Catholic educators live an integral life process that transforms them into ‘Educators of Life’. This study can serve as a basis for further research on the spiritual support of Catholic educators.
Challenges and Prospects for the Development of Religious Textbooks
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Religious Education, Youn Jaekeun , Na Kwonsoo
Published: November 2024

[Objective] The purpose of this study is to present the challenges and prospects of religious textbook development through religious pedagogical analysis and evaluation of religious subjects and religious textbooks.
[Contents] Religion and culture are important factors and variables that define an era and society. Therefore, religion serves as an important conduit to recognize the culture and history of a society. However, Korean society, which needs a broader understanding of religious phenomena, does not have access to education about religion to alleviate religious illiteracy and strengthen religious literacy. Religious education in most schools is perceived as a one-sided indoctrination of religious ideology, or as a system that restricts freedom of faith, as it operates under a specific religious background. Instead of promoting interreligious peace, it promotes antagonism and religious illiteracy.
[Conclusions] In this light, this study aims to trace the changes in religious education and suggest the direction of desirable religious education through the analysis and evaluation of religious pedagogical materials. Furthermore, it proposes religious education as a universal liberal arts education with religious neutrality.
The Doctrine of Rebirth in the Early Prose Upanishads
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Study of Religious Education, Kim Chinyoung
Published: November 2024

[Objective] The purpose of this study is to hermeneutically compare the rebirth centered on the frame stories of three editions of the early prose Upanishads. In a macroscopic sense, it aims to academically establish the concept and characteristics of the theory of rebirth in the early Upanishads, which is evaluated as a preliminary stage of the theory of reincarnation that functions as a complex of rebirth-karman-liberation in Indian religion.
[Contents] This study proceeds with the Sanskrit texts interpretation of representative rebirth phrases in the early prose Upanishads and their multi-faceted analysis. In detail, it deals with the aspects of Devayana and Pitryana described in the text, and the issue of karman of good and evil deeds, and analyzes the concept and system of rebirth by comparing and examining the similarities and differences of the three editions.
[Conclusions] The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the process of rebirth revealed in the early prose Upanishads reveals its essence through the finitude of human beings and the convention of time that attempts to transcend them. Second, while BĀU and ChU compromised the formal expressions and modes with the vedic tradition, KauṣU began to use the rhetorical language of knowledge and karman as the theme of Upaniṣad. Third, the early prose Upanishads contain hints at the fundamental modes of karman and liberation, but these are evaluated as preliminary stages of the formalized theory of reincarnation.

[Objective] The purpose of this study is to increase understanding of the crisis of teachers’ authority in light of Buber’s view of sacred profession of teachers.
[Contents] The crisis of teachers’ authority is not just a problem in Korean society, but is a common phenomenon in modern world. In order to educate, it is necessary for students to recognize the teacher as a person who helps their growth and thus enter into educational relationship. However, in the modern context where the traditional social atmosphere that highly recognized the authority of teachers has disappeared, it is difficult to expect students to recognize the authority of teachers. According to Buber, the crisis of teachers’ authority cannot be solved by reviving the authority of teachers in the past. We must accept that we have entered an era where teachers must shoulder the full responsibility for education, as we have moved away from the era when the community shared educational responsibility.
[Conclusions] In order to overcome the crisis of teachers’ authority, it is necessary to keep in mind that teaching is not only a professional job but also a sacred vocation. In modern times, it is essential for teachers to existentially transform themselves, inviting students into a dialogue relationship through the act of inclusion.

The full costing method is the only way to calculate the cost of production. It includes all costs involved in the production process. The variable costing method does not include fixed factory overhead costs. Reidy Bakery should use both the full costing method and the variable costing method to determine the cost of production. The full costing method calculates all costs involved in the production process, providing an accurate overview of actual costs. The variable costing method is ideal for short-term decision-making, such as when fulfilling special orders or orders in large quantities, as it focuses on costs that change with production volume.
