Till One Day the Sun Shall Shine More Brightly

Till One Day the Sun Shall Shine More Brightly

Derek Pollard

The University of Michigan Press
2020

Since the publication of From the Abandoned Cities in 1983, Donald Revell has been among the more consistent influencers in American poetry and poetics. Yet, his work has achieved the status it has—his honors include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation and awards from the PEN Center USA and American Poetry Review—in a manner that has often tended to belie its abiding significance. This collection of essays, reviews, and interviews is designed to ignite a more wide-ranging critical appraisal of Revell’s writing, from his fourteen collections of poems to his acclaimed translations of French symbolist and modernist poets to his artfully constructed literary criticism. Contributors such as Marjorie Perloff, Stephanie Burt, Dan Beachy-Quick, and Bruce Bond examine key elements in and across Revell’s work, from his visionary postmodernism (“Our words can never say the mystery of our meanings, but there they are: spoken and meaning worlds to us”) to his poetics of radical attention (“And so a poem has nothing to do with picking and choosing, with the mot juste and reflection in tranquility. It is a plain record of one’s entire presence”), in order to enlarge our understanding of how and why that work has come to occupy the place that it has in contemporary American letters.

African Print Cultures

African Print Cultures

Derek Peterson; Steph Newell; Emma Hunter

The University of Michigan Press
2016
nidottu
The essays collected in African Print Cultures claim African newspapers as subjects of historical and literary study. Newspapers were not only vehicles for anticolonial nationalism. They were also incubators of literary experimentation and networks by which new solidarities came into being. By focusing on the creative work that African editors and contributors did, this volume brings an infrastructure of African public culture into view. The first of four thematic sections, “African Newspaper Networks,” considers the work that newspaper editors did to relate events within their locality to happenings in far-off places. This work of correlation and juxtaposition made it possible for distant people to see themselves as fellow travellers. “Experiments with Genre” explores how newspapers nurtured the development of new literary genres, such as poetry, realist fiction, photoplays, and travel writing in African languages and in English. “Newspapers and Their Publics” looks at the ways in which African newspapers fostered the creation of new kinds of communities and served as networks for public interaction, political and otherwise. The final section, “Afterlives, ” is about the longue durée of history that newspapers helped to structure, and how, throughout the twentieth century, print allowed contributors to view their writing as material meant for posterity.

Causal Case Study Methods

Causal Case Study Methods

Derek Beach; Rasmus Brun Pedersen

The University of Michigan Press
2016
nidottu
In this comprehensive reconstruction of causal case study methods, Derek Beach, Rasmus Brun Pedersen, and their coauthors delineate the ontological and epistemological differences among these methods, offer suggestions for determining the appropriate methods for a given research project, and explain the step-by-step application of selected methods.Causal Case Study Methods begins with the cohesive, logical foundations for small-n comparative methods, congruence methods, and process tracing, then delineate the distinctive types of causal relationships for which each method is appropriate. Next, the authors provide practical instruction for deploying each of the methods individually and in combination. They walk the researcher through each stage of the research process, starting with issues of concept formation and the formulation of causal claims in ways that are compatible with case-based research. They then develop guidelines for using Bayesian logic as a set of practical questions for translating empirical data into evidence that may or may not confirm causal inferences. Widely acclaimed instructors, the authors draw upon their extensive experience at the graduate level in university classrooms, summer and winter school courses, and professional workshops, around the globe.

Transgenerational Media Industries

Transgenerational Media Industries

Derek Johnson

The University of Michigan Press
2019
nidottu
Within corporate media industries, adults produce children’s entertainment. Yet children, presumed to exist outside the professional adult world, make their own contributions to it—creating and posting unboxing videos, for example, that provide content for toy marketers. Many adults, meanwhile, avidly consume entertainment products nominally meant for children. Media industries reincorporate this market-disrupting participation into their strategies, even turning to adult consumers to pass fandom to the next generation. Derek Johnson presents an innovative perspective that looks beyond the simple category of “kids’ media” to consider how entertainment industry strategies invite producers and consumers alike to cross boundaries between adulthood and childhood, professional and amateur, new media and old. Revealing the social norms, reproductive ideals, and labor hierarchies on which such transformations depend, he identifies the lines of authority and power around which legacy media institutions like television, comics, and toys imagine their futures in a digital age. Johnson proposes that it is not strategies of media production, but of media reproduction, that are most essential in this context. To understand these critical intersections, he investigates transgenerational industry practice in television co-viewing, recruitment of adult comic readers as youth outreach ambassadors, media professionals’ identification with childhood, the branded management of adult fans of LEGO, and the labor of child YouTube video creators. These dynamic relationships may appear to disrupt generational and industry boundaries alike. However, by considering who media industries empower when generating the future in these reproductive terms and who they leave out, Johnson ultimately demonstrates how their strategies reinforce existing power structures. This book makes vital contributions to media studies in its fresh approach to the intersections of adulthood and childhood, its attention to the relationship between legacy and digital media industries, and its advancement of dialogue between media production and consumption researchers. It will interest scholars in media industry studies and across media studies more broadly, with particular appeal to those concerned about the current and future reach of media industries into our lives.

Process-Tracing Methods

Process-Tracing Methods

Derek Beach; Rasmus Brun Pedersen

The University of Michigan Press
2019
sidottu
Process-tracing in social science is a method for studying causal mechanisms linking causes with outcomes. This enables the researcher to make strong inferences about how a cause (or set of causes) contributes to producing an outcome. In this extensively revised and updated edition, Derek Beach and Rasmus Brun Pedersen introduce a refined definition of process-tracing, differentiating it into four distinct variants and explaining the applications and limitations of each. The authors develop the underlying logic of process-tracing, including how one should understand causal mechanisms and how Bayesian logic enables strong within-case inferences. They provide instructions for identifying the variant of process-tracing most appropriate for the research question at hand and a set of guidelines for each stage of the research process.

After AI: Strategies to Survive & Thrive

After AI: Strategies to Survive & Thrive

Derek W. Pearson

Roof Media
2018
nidottu
In the next few decades, the proliferation of Artificially Intelligent technology will have a significant impact on our ability to earn a living. Cheaper AI options will displace many human workers in both "skilled" and "unskilled" jobs, and in many cases a traditional education will not constitute a tangible advantage over AI alternatives. "After AI: Strategies to Survive & Thrive" examines ways to actively promote the natural human attributes that give us that advantage: the stuff that makes us MORE THAN MACHINES.

A tribute to Derek Gordon, aka Bringwonder the Storyteller, who brought joy to so many over the decades and was loved by so many. There is no better tribute to this Renaissance Man than to present his own brilliantly written poetry. Derek died in September 2018 and his daughters and one of his close friends have collected, transcribed, selected and edited a vast body of work to present a sampling of his quirky, insightful, unique writing style. There is a range of styles and a range from poetry witten in his teenage years to poems written shortly before his death.

The Christ of History and the Jesus of Faith

The Christ of History and the Jesus of Faith

Derek Tovey

Derek Tovey

pokkari
Though many scholars, when writing about the historical Jesus, leave the resurrection out of account, in this book I argue that the resurrection must be part of the story of the historical Jesus. For not only is it an "event" that happened within history, but it is the catalyst for the significance that the first Christians attached to the historical person, Jesus. Furthermore, the data found in the gospels must be regarded as a "form of history", shaped by theological considerations, but pointing to the historical significance and meaning of Jesus's life. My "manifesto" is, in part, a protest against a tendency to maintain a divide between "history" and "theology".I offer a "sketch" of the historical Jesus, which particularly focuses upon the way in which Jesus stood in continuity with the Old Testament prophets. I especially highlight the data that connects the historical person with the historically significant figure that the first Christians proclaimed. These are such things as the institution of the Lord's Supper (the Holy Communion), the use by Jesus of the descriptor, "The Son of Man", and his choice of disciples who were known as "the Twelve".

Introduction to Tensor Calculus, Relativity and Cosmology

Introduction to Tensor Calculus, Relativity and Cosmology

Derek F. Lawden

Dover Publications Inc.
2003
nidottu
This elementary introduction pays special attention to aspects of tensor calculus and relativity that students tend to find most difficult. Its use of relatively unsophisticated mathematics in the early chapters allows readers to develop their confidence within the framework of Cartesian coordinates before undertaking the theory of tensors in curved spaces and its application to general relativity theory. Additional topics include black holes, gravitational waves, and a sound background in applying the principles of general relativity to cosmology. Numerous exercises advance the theoretical developments of the main text, thus enhancing this volume's appeal to students of applied mathematics and physics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. 1982 ed. Solution guide available upon request.

The Mathematical Principles of Quantum Mechanics

The Mathematical Principles of Quantum Mechanics

Derek F Lawden

Dover Publications Inc.
2005
nidottu
Most texts on quantum mechanics are primarily designed for physicists; this one, taking a somewhat different approach, is geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in applied mathematics. The author develops the subject in a systematic and logical manner from a minimal set of axioms. Special physical problems, with suggestions for solutions, are contained in the sets of exercises, of which there are more than a hundred. The theory is first developed for observables, such as the spin, and later extended to observables having continuous spectra; by this means, the theory's chief features are exhibited in the simplest possible mathematical context. 1967 ed.

Swahili and Sabaki

Swahili and Sabaki

Derek Nurse; Thomas J. Hinnebusch

University of California Press
1993
pokkari
The Sabaki languages form a major Bantu subgroup and are spoken by 35 million East Africans in Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Comoro Islands. The authors provide a historical/comparative treatment of Swahili (and other Sabaki languages), an account of the relationship of Swahili to Sabaki and to other Bantu languages, and some data on contemporary Sabaki languages. Data sets, appendices, maps, and figures present essential information on phonology, lexical makeup, and tense/aspect morphology. The final chapter is a synthesis describing the linguistic and historical relationship of the Sabaki dialects to each other and to hypothetical proto-stages.

Shylock's Children

Shylock's Children

Derek Penslar

University of California Press
2001
sidottu
Throughout much of European history. Jews have been strongly associated with commerce and the money trade, rendered both visible and vulnerable, like Shakespeare's Shylock, by their economic distinctiveness. Shylock's Children tells the story of Jewish perceptions of this economic difference and its effects on modern Jewish identity. Derek Penslar explains how Jews in modern Europe developed the notion of a distinct "Jewish economic man," an image that grew ever more complex and nuanced between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries.
