  • Portrayals of the Black Lives Matter Movement in Hard and Fake News and Consumer Attitudes Toward African Americans

    Chrysalis L Wright, Chrysalis Wright et al.ARTICLEHoward Journal of Communications2023

    Our study examined the relationship between media portrayals of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in hard and fake news in varying media modalities (print versus video) and participant attitudes toward African Americans. We also examined sociodemographic factors that may be related to susceptibility of fake news. Participants were primed with either hard or fake news (print or video) prior to completing the online questionnaire. Participants …

  • Socrates

    C C W TaylorBOOKSocrates : a very short…2019

    Socrates has a unique position in the history of philosophy; had it not been for his influence on Plato, the whole development of Western philosophy might have been unimaginably different. Socrates wrote nothing himself so our knowledge of him is derived primarily from the engaging and infuriating figure who appears in Plato’s dialogues. Socrates: A Very Short Introduction explores Socrates’ life and his philosophical activity, before considering…

  • Aristotle on Practical Reason

    C C W TaylorBOOKPhilosophy of Linguistics2016

    For Aristotle, phronēsis , the excellence of the practical intellect, is two-fold, consisting of a true conception of the end to be achieved by action and correct deliberation about the means to achieve that end. Three accounts have been given as to how that true conception of the end is acquired: i) by virtue of character, ii) by dialectic, i.e. critical reasoning concerning authoritative beliefs, and iii) by induction from data of experience. V…

  • Global Circulation as Christian Enclosure

    Open AccessC C W TaylorARTICLELiterature Compass2014Referencias: 3

    In a global Middle Ages, there are few individuals, fictional or historical, who have exercised a stronger cosmopolitan pull than Prester John. A product of anxious cultural imaginings mixed with hope for historical change, Prester John has commanded consistent interest since 1145. Over the course of six centuries, Prester John figured centrally in Christendom's understanding of what the distant world was like: crusading aspirations depended on h…

  • The Refusal of Work

    C C W Taylor, Christopher TaylorARTICLESmall Axe A Caribbean Journal of…2014Citada por: 7

    This essay argues that Caribbean histories of slavery and emancipation have served as a crucial site for the generation of the Marxist antiwork politics popularized by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. Recovering a transnational network of radicals that disseminated the work of C. L. R. James's varied coteries throughout Italy, the author argues that James's methodological innovations in the field of slave historiography were central to the formul…

  • Genocide and the Religious Imaginary in Rwanda

    C C W Taylor, Christopher C TaylorCHAPTERThe Oxford handbook of religion…2013

    This chapter, which concentrates on the violent imaginaries that informed the reports and deeds of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, reviews the perseverance of pre-colonial notions of a sacred king whose “wild sovereignty” and inability to promote the flow of imaana earns him fateful sacrifice. The term imaana denotes a supreme being and, in a more generalized way, a “diffuse, fecundating fluid” of celestial origin whose activity upon livestock, land, …

  • Pursuits of Wisdom

    C C W TaylorARTICLEThe Philosophical Review2013

    The project of this impressive work is the exploration in the work of various ancient philosophers and philosophical schools of a conception of philosophy that, Cooper argues, was characteristic of the ancient world but is largely absent from the modern. Whereas the contemporary conception of philosophy is that of an academic subject comparable to mathematics or history, pursued primarily for its own intrinsic interest as a contribution to a gene…

    C C W Taylor, Christopher Taylor et al.BOOKThe Black Carib Wars2012

    This book offers a thoroughly researched history of the struggle of the Garifuna people to preserve their freedom on the island of St. Vincent. Today, thousands of Garifuna people live in Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and the United States, preserving their unique culture and speaking a language that directly descends from that spoken in the Caribbean at the time of Columbus. All trace their origins back to St. Vincent, where their ance…

  • Sharing Time

    C C W Taylor, Christopher TaylorARTICLESocial Text2012Citada por: 1

    Christopher Taylor considers C. L. R. James’s sojourn in the United States from the perspective of a series of articles that James wrote while assisting Missourian sharecroppers striking in 1941. While James’s work has been foundational to postnational Americanist scholarship, Taylor argues that the northern-centrism of both James’s scholarship and postnational American studies more broadly has elided flows of transnational interaction not mediat…

  • The Limbs of Empire

    C C W Taylor, Christopher TaylorARTICLEAmerican Literature2011Citada por: 2

    Taylor reads Herman Melville's Moby-Dick (1851) through the history of the captured prosthetic limb of Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna. U.S. travel narratives, soldiers' accounts, and P. T. Barnum's 1847 display of the captured prosthesis in his American Museum figured the leg as a symbol of the regenerative and reembodying benefits that territorial imperialism offered to Jacksonian working classes. Melville's journalism on Barnum's e…

  • Molders of Mud

    C C W Taylor, Christopher C TaylorARTICLEEthnos2011Citada por: 5Referencias: 17

    When discussing the politics of ethnicity in Rwanda, most authors discount the role of Twa. Because the latter are Rwanda's least numerous ethnic group, the tendency is to dismiss their importance. This dismissal may seem justified in instrumental terms, but it is not true in symbolic terms. Twa were the first of Rwanda's three ethnicities to suffer stigmatization, and this predated European colonialism by several centuries. If we think about eth…

  • A place there is where liquid honey drops like dew’. The landscape of Little Downham, Cambridgeshire, in the twelfth century

    C C W Taylor, Christopher TaylorARTICLELandscape History2010

    This paper and that which follows are published together to illustrate how two scholars in very different fields can produce entirely different interpretations of an early twelfth-century poem. Using traditional historical evidence Christopher Taylor fits the poetic descriptions into the contemporary landscape. Catherine Clarke approaches the poem from a literary perspective using textual analysis. Both methods are equally valid, and each might b…

  • Plato's Epistemology

    C C W TaylorCHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of Plato…2009

    The attempt to understand and develop Plato's philosophical views has a long history, starting with Aristotle and Plato's institutional successors in the academy towards the end of the fourth century bc. This article traces the history and development of the idea of Platonism. The development of a specifically Platonic philosophy took place mainly within the academy. As a result, the idea that Plato's dialogues already presented a well defined, c…

    C C W TaylorBOOKPleasure, Mind, and Soul2008

    The book presents in chapter format a selection of the author's essays in ancient philosophy, drawn from forty years of writings on the subject. The central theme is the moral psychology of Plato and Aristotle, with a special focus on pleasure and related concepts. It also contains discussions of Socrates and the Greek atomists (including the Epicureans) showing how Plato's ethics grows out of the thought of Socrates, and showing also that pleasu…

  • The End of the Euthyphro 1

    C C W TaylorCHAPTERPleasure, Mind, and Soul2008

    This chapter argues that the concluding section of the Euthyphro suggests — despite the ostensibly aporetic ending of the dialogue — a positive account of the nature of piety or holiness (hosiotēs), namely that it is identical with virtue as a whole, since holiness is doing what the gods require, and what the gods require of humans is simply that they should be virtuous. The dialogue thus implicitly applies to holiness the doctrine of the unity o…
