Abstract This article examines two female slaveholders, one real and one fictional, to explore the relationship between gender and slave management in both history and popular culture. Annie Palmer, the “White Witch of Rose Hall” plantation in Jamaica, although the creation of folklore and journalistic exaggeration, has functioned for a century and a half as a symbol not only of the evils of slavery but of the idea that female slaveholders’ cruelty threatened the system of slavery in a way in which that practiced by males did not. In New Orleans, Delphine Lalaurie, an elite woman renowned for her elegance and piety, became a figure of monstrosity after a house fire of 1834 revealed that her French Quarter mansion held a chamber of horrors for the enslaved, and offered a similar example of the dangers of female power in slave societies. Examining these women’s continuing presence both as historical figures and as characters in novels, television shows, and other creative productions, this article illuminates the strange career of the slaveholding woman, a figure execrated in her own era and misunderstood or ignored in contemporary historiography, yet simultaneously the subject over centuries of prurient cultural fascination.

Education (paideia) was central to the development of what is now called the Second Sophistic, but surprisingly little attention was paid to the subject in the contemporary texts. This omission may have been deliberate, a way of implying that the status of pepaideumenos or educated man was acquired through sociability rather than by tuition. This chapter outlines what we know about the teaching of grammar and rhetoric in the schools of the imperial period from witnesses, like Philostratus, Lucian, and Aelius Aristides, and from the surviving manuals. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between this teaching and its methods and the performances and writings of the sophists. Its role in the creation of a common culture shared by its recipients is also discussed.

Scholarly Attention

Insular Latinity – its origins, characteristics, affiliations and dissemination – has attracted much attention in the last decade. One area which has benefited from this increased interest is the investigation of the Latin grammars written by Insular scholars: consider, for example, the editions of Insular grammatical writings recently published in the Corpus Christianorum Series Latina. But it is noteworthy that the Anglo-Latin grammarians have profited far less from this upsurge in interest than their Irish counterparts. Although Anglo-Latin as well as Hiberno-Latin texts have been among those recently edited, and have been the subject of several specialized studies, they have failed to excite scholarly attention to the same extent as the Irish works. Their origin, history, relationship and cultural context have not yet been satisfactorily established. Studies such as the series of articles by Louis Holtz, tracing the evolution of the study of grammar in Ireland and the relationship of the surviving texts to one another, are lacking for the Anglo-Latin grammarians. Yet the unknown factors in early England are scarcely fewer. To take one example, the fundamental problem of the rôle of the Irish in the creation of an Anglo-Latin grammatical tradition has hardly been touched upon. Indeed, that the Anglo-Saxons can even be credited with a grammatical tradition of their own has been questioned. Too often, the few surviving Anglo-Latin grammars are held up as an isolated phenomenon and contrasted with the prolific outpourings of a diligent host of Irishanonymi. It is the purpose of this article to investigate the evidence for the study of Latin grammar in England south of the Humber up to the time of its best-known manifestations, the grammars of Tatwine and Boniface, in the early eighth century.

In this afterword, three leading scholars, whose work explores the intersections of media, communication, and religion from different viewpoints, enter in dialog on the subject. Carole Cusack is a historian of religion and the author of groundbreaking works about the relationship between religion, imagination, and popular culture. Massimo Leone is a semiologist whose work has stretched the boundaries between the study of religion and the study of signs, both linguistic and nonlinguistic. Jeffrey Sconce is a scholar in film and media studies whose pioneering monograph, Haunted Media (2000), placed the theme of the supernatural at the forefront of studies in media and communication. Their responses provide a map of potential trajectories to further explore the connections between digital media and the supernatural.

MUSIC AND DESIGN. PHIL SPECTOR AND SOUNDSCAPES MEDIATIZATIONPhil Spector is often referred to as one of history’s first true music producers, and his famed ‘Wall of Sound’ has been the model for many future musical productions. However, Spector’s productions can also be seen as an early manifestation, among others, of a much more general change in the auditory popular culture around 1960 away from the conventional approach to musicalsound as something that depends primarily on a musical performance and secondarily its technical reproduction S towards a conception of music as a form of design. Hence, Spector’s productions make a favorable material for a more general investigation of the relationship between music and design. Despite the rather extensive literature on Spector and his music, and on sound recording and sound production in general, the different aspects of Spector’s design have not yet been the subject of a broader phenomenological and aesthetic investigation. “Music and Design” explores the key elements in Spector’s musical project through an analysis of his use of repetition, accumulation and synthetized sound in hit recordings such as He’s a Rebel (1962) and Be My Baby (1963). It is argued that Spector’s productions are basically characterized by a displacement of the auditory focus from external media conditions, to musical sound as simultaneously a more synthetic and mediatized as well as moremassive and ‘massified’ soundscape. This mediatization of the soundscape would later constitute a predominant aesthetic model not only in current music production, but in modern sound design in general.

The aim of this research is to investigate the reasons why David Hockney addresses daily objects in his works. At the same time, it aims to reveal the nature of the relationship between popular culture and daily objects. Thus, the types of differences between Hockney and his contemporaries will be identified; while determining how pop artists reflect popular culture on their works. The scope of the research includes an analysis of David Hockney’s works. By including works from artists such as Henri Mattise, Andy Warhol, and Fikret Mualla; their relation to the subject has been presented. The subject of this research bears importance in terms of providing a criticism of current issues that are based on daily objects in art. Therefore, the research is divided into artists and eras that can serve as a reference for daily objects and popular culture imageries. The research problems can be listed as: what are the characteristics that separate David Hockney from his contemporaries, why does David Hockney require daily objects in his art works? What is the nature of the relationship between daily objects and popular culture? Are daily objects in art a product of popular culture? In what context do the works of Hockney and Matisse show similarities? What is the connection between daily objects and Duchamp? Are daily objects in art a critique of modern art? It is expected that the answers to all these questions will shed a light on popular culture imageries and art today, along with David Hockney’s works. Thus, once more, this study intends to create awareness to the association of “art and life,” which is frequently used alongside modernism.

AbstractUniversity campuses and the surrounding urban environment are an integral part of each other's lives. The subject of this article is the relationship between them, primarily in relation to Pécs and University of Pécs. During the examinations, the network of connections regarding the city, university and its education sites will be visible. As it stands, the education sites of University of Pécs are not yet able to function as campuses. The creation of urban public spaces for the development of campuses is essential, as it can be seen through international examples and design. This may be the result of the numerous reductions and reorganization of educational sites.

Many studies on advertising in Indonesia have been conducted. The discussions are mostly about the influence of advertising on consumers. However, such studies often slip into a deterministic understanding. Actions are understood as behaviors merely influenced by external factors. The study of advertising deals with the relationship between the subject's intentions, actions, and the meanings contained in the advertisement. Thus, it not only discusses the influence of advertising on consumption behavior, but also requires a study of representation in advertising. Unfortunately, some studies of advertising representation have not touched the theme of the representation of social classes, as if advertisements don't talk about social classes explicitly. The absence of social class analysis in advertisement study tends to disguise the actual conditions of the society. Using the method of semiotic analysis to read advertisements on television as the subject of the study, this paper aims to show that images of social class are still present in advertisements. This paper finds that social class images in advertisements are stereotyped. The lower social class is described as a social class that is dominated and is doing a class-passing. Based on the findings, this paper argues that the analysis of social classes is still required to examine any forms of popular culture such as advertising and, at the same time, can show the actual conditions of social classes in the society.

This chapter examines contemporary critiques of human rights, focusing on the downside of human rights claims — what is commonly understood by advocates of human rights to be the ‘misuse’ or ‘abuse’ of human rights. It first considers how human rights claims conflate ethical and legal claims because the subject of rights is not a socially constituted legal subject. It then discusses the rise of human rights as well as the relationship between human rights claims and international interventions such as humanitarianism, international law, and military intervention. In particular, it analyses the ethical, legal, and political questions raised by the Kosovo war. The chapter shows that there is a paradox at the heart of the human rights discourse, which enables claims made on behalf of victims, the marginalized, and excluded to become a mechanism for the creation of new frameworks for the exercise of power.

In Poland, a discourse on the relationship between the canon and pop culture has been going on for almost thirty years. It is dominated by the belief that these methods of cultural communication are completely divergent. The canon is understood as a bastion of tradition and values and as such is in contradiction with popular culture. This conflict has educational consequences. Creates a resonance in the relationships and teachers, who more and more often show greater knowledge of pop culture phenomena than the so-called cultural canon. The impasse that the school is currently ex-periencing requires a reaction, and this seems to be possible by drawing attention to the subject of education and turning to the “here and now”. In order to explain the possibility of breaking the “cold war” situation between the canon and pop culture, the article cites the transitive principle as a method of building a dialogue between both sides of the dispute.
