Time Will Tell
Authors: Fenn Richard K 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For The Mystic, As for The Primitive, the world is only partly disenchanted. There is always a hint of a time before time: the primordial period that underlies all later calculations and pas sages. The process of enchantment thus begins when one takes a particular experience out of the flux of everyday life in order to give it sacred meaning. Perhaps it was a moment in which insight dawned or a discovery was made; any experience of peculiar and lasting intensity can become momentous.
To enshrine time in this way is an antidote, based on magical thinking, to the prospect of losing time once and for all. That is why some dates may “live in infamy” while others have a happier place in the canon of memory, but they all succeed in making an event of the past into a continuing and present reality: a time long gone that one nonetheless experiences in the present. Many individuals remember not only the date on which John Kennedy was shot, but also what they were doing on that day and where they were doing it. Others remember with equal clarity other dates: Pearl Harbor and D-Day or the day that Martin Luther King was assassinated.
The Loss of A Temporal Matrix
Authors: Fenn Richard K 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We Have Been Exploring The paradox that Christianity is partly responsible for the loss of a sense of providence and historical necessity in modern societies. Not only has the Church uprooted and eradicated deviant local pieties; the Christian God has been relentlessly transcendent above every institution and community. The effect, as Marcel Gauchet (1997:95) has recently reminded us, has been to deprive tradition and the social order of their sacred trappings; they emerge clearly visible in the light of a human day. Now humanity is to own and control, adapt and construct social institutions to suit its own wants and purposes:
As God withdrew, the world changed from something presented as unalterable to something to be constituted. God having be come Other to the world, the world now became Other to humans, in two ways: by its objectivity at the level of representation, and by its ability to be transformed at the level of action. . . . And if he [“man”] entered into a relation of otherness, it was within and according to a defined goal, namely to realize his ontological independence. (Gauchet 1997:95; Gauchet’s emphasis).
Ritual and the Consummation of Waiting
Authors: Fenn Richard K 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Living As We Do In The residues of the Reformation, it is easy for us to forget how successfully the Church once was able to bureaucratize the time of salvation and to keep people waiting as though their very souls depended on the Church’s dispensation from the passage of time. In some locales, of course, that old ecclesiastical monopoly persists. Take, for example, the ritual called Sabta Nur performed annually at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. According to the description given by Richard Hecht (1994: 184–235), members of various competing ethnic groups suspend their rivalry on these occasions as they crowd into the church to wait for the gift of holy fire to descend. The divine gift is given annually, right on time, to the archbishops of the Greek and Armenian Orthodox communities who are at the critical moment concealed be hind doors in the innermost chamber of the church. The archbishops are buried, as it were, alive in this tomb, and their symbolic death is reflected in the suspension of all animation among the worshipers who wait with intense anxiety outside the doors for the fire once more to descend and then to be transmitted to the expectant worshipers from each of the rival communities.
Passing the Test of Time
Authors: Fenn Richard K 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Infants Who Discover that the world is no longer in harmony with their own internal rhythms are “out of sync,” as it were, and in that sense may feel that they are late and running out of time, when it is in fact the world that is not keeping pace with the infants’ rhythms and needs. Freud’s friend and colleague, the Hungarian analyst Sandor Ferenczi (1995:83),noted what many analysts have since argued, that there is a certain trauma in the discovery that the world can be frustrating: an environment that is disappointing and unreliable, demanding and frightening. However, Ferenczi recognized that such frustration has a purpose; it makes the child able to develop the sort of character that has a chance of making it in the world.
If we are to find a general, pervasive cause for arrested development in the individual’s orientation toward time, then, it will need to be precisely in such ordinary, nearly universal experiences of child hood. Nonetheless, Ferenczi argued that a very early split does occur in the psyche, between the part of the child that seeks the continuous and uninterrupted access to sources of support and security, and the part of the child who is ready to be weaned, to cooperate with toilet training, and to make allowances for parents who do not come on time.
Space Oddity and Linguistic Turn
Authors: Tasić Vladimir 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It would seem that the conflict between science and continental philosophy can be traced at least as far back as Kant. With varying intensity and in very different forms, it then extends through the unbridled romanticism of the nineteenth century and all the way into the present.
Mathematics, specifically geometry, has had its hand in this conflict. I would therefore like to place the issue between Kant and geometers under the magnifying glass and look into the possibility that it had a role in the development of an “attitude” toward continental philosophers’ understanding of science and mathematics.
Wound of Language
Authors: Tasić Vladimir 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Before we look into the objections that mathematicians addressed to the reduction of mathematics to logic, it might be instructive to devote a few pages to the elaboration of some romanticist doctrines. (I will not insist on a rigorous distinction between the culture of romanticism and the philosophy of romantic idealism. The affinity between the two allows for taking such a liberty.)
The mathematicians whose arguments I then outline invariably invoked metaphors that compared mathematical understanding to an artistic, creative process irreducible to the “sterile” methodology of pure logic.
Say Hello To The Structure Bubble
Authors: Tasić Vladimir 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We should take a brief look at the oft-cited source of inspiration of structuralist philosophy, the structural linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure. This is necessary for two reasons: first, to introduce some terminology, and second, to examine the possibility that the structuralist movement, despite unreasonably frequent references to the work of the Geneva linguist, ended up in a position closer to Cavaillès’s formalism than to Saussure’s own outlook.
I am, of course, not trying to say that mathematics, formalist or otherwise, bears sole responsibility for various misreadings of Saussure. Things are rarely that simple. The rise of structuralism after World War II was facilitated by a complex set of cultural circumstances, which might even be said to span continents. The victory of formalism and the rebellious siding of young intellectuals with Cavaillès’s structuralism against Bergson’s and Sartre’s intuitionism were among many other relevant factors.
Strategies
Authors: Practice Writing 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses a few methods you can use to getstarted writing, or to free yourself from writer’s block, or to explore new possibilities. Some demand a lot of time, but then the serious aspirant devotes a lot of time to learning the craft. Storytelling is one way of sorting out the elements of a story we want to write. When I run workshops, I have participants tell their stories and then answer questions about them. Finally, I tell them to write their stories as cl sely as th y can to the way they.told them. This advice, to copy oral! tellings; takes the mystery out of writing.
Observation
Authors: Practice Writing 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Practiced writers who succeed in creating realistic scenes and characters have a store of impressions they can use when needed. Sometimes, of course, it is harder to reach into the memory and pull out what you want, but with practice the job becomes easier. The realist must, first of all, watch and listen to the world carefully enough to collect a very large store of impressions-images of people, aetivities, and places, as well as records of conversations. Learn to observe without judging, without letting thought intrude between you and the object. When you see a sunset or a landscape and say, “How beautiful,” you are not immersed in it, and will notice only part of what you might otherwise have seen. Thought has driven a wedge between you and the object, and by putting words to what you see or hear, you have limited your experience. One way to practice wordless observation is to watch a thing or activity with the intent of remembering it in detail a year from now. You won’t, bf course, but that is the kind of intensity that is needed. Another.way is simply to observe your intrusive thoughts as you watch an object or activity. Within a short time the thoughts will disappear. Wordless observation is different from the observation in which we measure and judge experiences against one another. The fact that we are not normally close observers is shown in conflicting eyewitness accounts of the same events.
Conversation 6 Dialogue
Authors: Practice Writing 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Many of my students have felt uncomfortable writing dialogue, and it shows by the fact that most of their writing contains very little of it. Occasionally a character will say something, and once in a great while another character will answer, but rarely is there dialogue. Recently I have been insisting on dialogue as a way of increasing reader interest. Creating good dialogue, having characters speak for themselves, is a way of revealing character. It is generally superior to revelation through narrative, in which the author tells us about the characters. We will look at exceptions later. For now let’s examine a saying theater people have: Show, don’t tell. To show an activity is to display it. In theater it means presenting the activity on stage. If a competent contemporary play wright has to choose between presenting an activity or having a character describe it, he will choose to present it. Carried over to stories, a writer generally makes a stronger choice by giving us dialogue rather than describing what was said.
Introduction
Authors: Cohen Paula Marantz 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Photograph, taken in England in the early 1920s, shows two couples: Lord and Lady Mountbatten (right), members of the British royal family, and Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford (left), American movie stars.1 The four figures have arranged themselves in a stunt pose for the cam­ era. Both women are perched on the right shoulders of the men; the men have their left legs and left arms raised as if to dramatize the ease with which they hold the women aloft. The photo relays a sense of communal fun, yet a close examination shows some telling details. Mountbatten’s face is taut with con­ centration, and he is holding Fairbanks’s hand for balance. Lady Mountbatten is similarly uneasy and is grasping Pickford’s shoulder.
Houdini, Keaton, And The Rise Of The Body
Authors: Cohen Paula Marantz 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Near The beginning of the 1928 silent film Submarine, there is a thrilling action sequence involving its two main characters, played by Jack Holt and Ralph Graves. Holt is a navy diver who locates underwater wrecks that would pose a threat to ships, and Graves is the radio operator who communicates with him during his dives. Having just completed a successful dive, Holt, wearing only his swimming trunks, is standing at the stern of the boat. As an order is given to blow up the wreck he has just located, the camera tilts down to show that his leg is caught in the coil of rope attached to the explosive. The rope uncoils and a few seconds later he is pulled overboard, and we see his body being carried underwater. The camera now returns to the deck, where Graves registers what has happened. He grabs a knife, pulls off his shirt, and dives into the water. An underwater shot shows him swimming toward Holt, struggling with the rope, and finally cutting his friend free. An aerial shot now shows the charge exploding, then shifts to the crew, watching from the deck, as they turn away sadly-they assume that Holt and Graves have perished in the explosion. But a second later, the two men surface near the side of the boat. As they climb aboard, they move jauntily. “I was getting loose when you butted in,” reads the intertitles for Holt’s character, supporting the playfulness of the men’s body language but also underscoring that without Grave’s courage and athletic prowess Holt would now be dead.
Griffith, Gish And The Narrative Of The Face
Authors: Cohen Paula Marantz 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
“Billy, move in! Get that face! That face-get that face.’”1 The frantic direction was delivered by D. W. Griffith to his cameraman, Billy Bitzer, during the making of Way Down East, as Lillian Gish, the film’s star, struggled to maintain her footing on an ice floe in the middle of a storm-tossed river.
The Transition To Sound
Authors: Cohen Paula Marantz 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
From The beginning, of course, silent film was not silent. First, there were the narrators who stood alongside the screen, introducing the moving images as a circus barker might introduce a fire-eater or a contortionist. Then, as narrative film developed, along came the music-the single piano accompanist or, in the movie palaces, the organ or full-scale orchestra. Given the obvious contradiction between the existence of music and the designation of “silent film,” it is no wonder that a fanatical enthusiast like Vachel Lindsay would see musical accompaniment as a violation of the purity of the medium. But though purists might argue otherwise, it is hard to enjoy silent films without music; this fact alone suggests a basic disequilibrium in the system and indicates that the medium would eventually incorporate more extensive and varied kinds of sound. The door into the future had been opened from the beginning.
Saint Saul
Authors: Akenson Donald Harman 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The gospels, scholars agree, were written after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD. This catastrophic event, argues Donald Akenson, forever altered the outlook and the agenda of the Christian and Jewish faiths. Of all the New Testament writings, only Paul’s letters were composed before 70 AD. Thus, Akenson says, they are the only direct evidence we have that is untainted by this profound and lasting shift in perspective. And yet this most important source on the life of Jesus is also the most neglected. In Saint Saul, Akenson offers a lively and provocative account of what we can learn about Jesus by reading the letters of Paul, providing fresh new insights into both Jesus and Paul. Akenson painstakingly recreates the world of Christ, a time rich with ideas, prophets, factions, priests, savants, and god-drunk fanatics. He insistently stresses throughout the Jewishness of Jesus (for example, referring to Jesus and Paul as Yeshua and Saul, as they were then known). Equally important, he dismisses the traditional method of searching for facts about Jesus by looking for parallels among the four gospels; they were handed down to us as a unit by a later generation, he argues. Saul, although he did not know Yeshua personally, knew his most important followers, and wrote immediately after Yeshua’s death. Saul’s teachings were approved (though sometimes reluctantly) by Yeshua’s brothers and other early leaders. As an eminent historian, Akenson approaches his subject with a fresh eye and a scholarly rigor that is all too rare in this hotly disputed field. The result is a vibrantly written and provocative book that will captivate anyone seeking to know more about the historical Jesus and the earliest Christians.
The Search for a Distant Dominion
Authors: Akenson Donald Harman 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
saul and yeshua, then, lived in one world, the verdant realm of the multiple-Judahisms of the late Second Temple era. The writers of the Christian Gospels, however, lived in a totally different world, one in which Eretz Israel was increasingly arid spiritually: physically degraded, its religious centre, the Temple, destroyed. As S.G.F. Brandon put it, in a classic formulation, the catastrophe of 70 ce was “probably the next most crucial event for Christianity, after the Resurrection experiences.”1 The followers of the Yeshua-faith wandered spiritually, like the Chosen People had wandered in the desert. Eventually, they came to rest in Gentile lands, both emotionally speaking, and, for the most part, in literal geographic terms as well. In the course of this intense period of confusion, re-orientation, and consolidation (roughly four decades were involved in this wandering, not unlike the forty years experienced by the children of Israel), a wonderful array of documents appeared, all of them dealing with Jesus-the-Christ. For most persons of faith this is enough.
Melding Saul and the Gospels: a Beginning
Authors: Akenson Donald Harman 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
the author-editors of the four gospels had the same problem that Saul had: how to explain the power of a man who was beyond-words holy. They took a totally different path than did Saul in his letters; they used the narrative form that in the Yahweh-faith found its primary example in the unified narrative that is Genesis-Kings in the Tanakh. They told stories about the earthly Yeshua which they believed proved that he was the Christ.
Saul and the Imitation of Christ
Authors: Akenson Donald Harman 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
given that saul never managed to come within a stone’s throw of Yeshua of Nazareth, it undoubtedly will take a generation or two before historians of the earthly Jesus come to use Saul’s letters as the prime entry point into their subject.1 Big ships can turn only slowly and by small degrees, and there are few historians’ vessels larger than the Quest for the historical Yeshua. And even if the existing enterprise did not have the massive momentum of habit to drive it, the character of Saul’s epistles – so dauntingly prickly and allusive in places, so crackling with electricity in others as to almost preclude handling – would turn many Questors away.
An Act of Attention Event Structure in Ceremony
Authors: Jahner Elaine 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After reading lesliesilko‘s novel Ceremony, many readers know the novel possesses an energy that engages their sense of themselves as persons. That energy seems to elude discussion because the labeling required in any kind of analysis appears more than usually in­ adequate for describing the act of attention that is an essential part of the reader’s experience. But then there are those like myself who sense that trying again and again to talk about the quality of attention evoked by the book can be an important part of developing more sensitive understanding not only of Leslie Silko’s own work but of other Native American writers who might also require of readers a particular attention directed toward matters that their previous experience of novels may not have demanded. Perhaps one way of describing the magnetic field of attention is to say that the lodestone in this field is the experience of event1 rather than sequentially motivated action as the determinant of plot coherence; but that is too cryptic a statement to have much meaning without explanation.
Forms of Biculturealism in Southwestern Literature: The Work of Rudolfo Anaya and Leslie Marmon Silko
Authors: Dasenbrock Reed Way 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One of the important Issues in the consideration of any work by “minority” or “ethnic” writers is the question of categorization: In what category does one place the work? Even more basically, what does one call the work? Should one, to use the examples that will concern us here, consider the work of Rudolfo Anaya as Chicano literature and Leslie Marmon Silko as Native American literature? Or are their works more usefully considered as part of American literature? Such questions are often dismissed as trivial by those committed to the notion that we should (and can) approach works of literature in themselves, that the categories with which we organize literature don’t really matter and are only an administrative or institutional convenience.
No Boundaries Only Transitions :Ceremony
Authors: Ruppert James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Silko’s novel circles around critical, personal, and cultural decisions about what to fuse from the old and the new. However, the novel ex­ presses these decisions in terms of the various discourse fields it engages and then modifies. Silko’s oral influences emphasize the way her utterance will define identity and mesh with other discourse: “One of the things I was taught to do from the time I was a little child was to listen to the story about you personally right now. To take all of that in for what it means right now. To take all of that in for what it means right now, and for what it means for the future. But at the same time to appreciate how it fits in with what you did yesterday, last week, maybe ironically, you know drastically different” (quoted in Coltelli 141).
Silko’s Arroyos as Mainstream Processes and Implications of Canonical Identity
Authors: Roemer Kenneth M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At the 1996 MLA convention in a provocative paper entitled “When Contemporary Literature Isn’t,” Molly Hite indicated that she had taken an informal survey of American literature professors, asking them which contemporary American novels they considered most important. Four titles dominated the responses: Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow, and Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony.

Participants in this interview/conversation, in addition to Ms. Silko, were Robin Cohen (RC), Paul Cohen (PC), and Rene LeBlanc (RL). Al­ though much of this interview, originally published in Southwestern American Literature (April 1999), covered Gardens in the Dunes ( in press at the time), the wide-ranging discussion also included her other works. Those portions of the interview pertaining to Ceremony are excerpted below.
The Witch of Edmonton and the Guilt of Possession
Authors: Kezar Dennis 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
No Renaissance Art Form calls more loudly for our ethical response than that representing the persecution and execution of witches; and none raises more clearly the analytical problem of” guilt” or “respond acts with a culture’s ways of seeing, the theater of witchcraft involves an epistemology in which looks really can kill. And yet, though works of dramatic journalism such as The Late Lancashire Witches (1634) may have influenced the legal process in offstage witch trials, we search in vain for an actual corpse with which to accuse Renaissance drama’s fascination with the subject. Though there is much to suggest that early modern skeptics such as Reginald Scot and Samuel Harsnett recognized the function of theatricality in the cultural production of the bewitched and bedeviled, moreover, these skeptics never charge the institution of the stage with responsibility for persecution and execution.
