  • Pair-list answers to questions with plural definites

    Open AccessWilliam JohnstonARTICLESemantics and Pragmatics2023

    Questions with plural definites (QPDs) can receive responses that take the form of a pair-list. Following Dayal (1992, 1996) and Krifka (1992), these are generally treated not as genuine pair-list answers, but as pragmatically-motivated elaborations on underlyingly cumulative answers. I present new evidence against this view: pair-list answers can be available even in the absence of a corresponding felicitous cumulative answer. I argue that the p…

    Open AccessWilliam JohnstonARTICLEHistory and Theory2015

    Katsuya Hirano's The Politics of Dialogic Imagination: Power and Popular Culture in Early Modern Japan offers an Althusser-inflected analysis of the relationship between power structures and the economy of cultural production, with a focus on late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Edo. Hirano spells out his cultural assumptions, and then examines the cultures of parody, comic realism, the grotesque, and the changing relationship between the Meij…

  • A Voyage to the East Indies

    Open AccessPaolino da San Bartholomaeo, John Reinhold Forster et al.BOOKVoyage to the East Indies2014

    After a six-month voyage, the Carmelite missionary Paolino da San Bartolomeo (1748–1806) arrived in Malabar in India towards the end of July 1776. Later acclaimed as an orientalist, he was among the first to note the relationship between Sanskrit and European languages, and the present work gives a valuable account of the geography and culture he observed over the course of thirteen years. Returning to Rome in 1789, he wrote many books under the …

  • A Transition to Advanced Mathematics

    William Johnston, Alex M McAllisterBOOKAnswering Fundamental Questions2009

    A Transition to Advanced Mathematics: A Survey Course promotes the goals of a “bridge” course in mathematics, helping to lead students from courses in the calculus sequence (and other courses where they solve problems that involve mathematical calculations) to theoretical upper-level mathematics courses (where they will have to prove theorems and grapple with mathematical abstractions). The text simultaneously promotes the goals of a “survey” cou…

Yale University Press, New Haven, 2003. 432 pages. $65.00. The trope that best reflects the history of photography in Japan is, arguably, irony.

    In May 1936, Abe Sada committed the most notorious crime in twentieth-century Japan -- the murder and emasculation of her lover. What made her do it? And why was she found guilty of murder yet sentenced to only six years in prison? Why have this woman and her crime remained so famous for so long, and what does her fame have to say about attitudes toward sex and sexuality in modern Japan?\nDespite Abe Sada's notoriety and the depictions of her in …

  • The Mysticism of the Cloud of Unknowing

    William JohnstonBOOKThe mysticism of The cloud of…2000

    “The Cloud of Unknowing” was the work of an unknown 14th-century English writer with a powerful message of God's unconditional love in the face of despair. This book's theological treatment of this and other works by the same writer makes a conscious comparison with Oriental ways of contemplation.

  • Respect for Authority in Canada, the United States, Great Britain and Australia

    Douglas Baer, James E Curtis et al.ARTICLESociological Focus1995Referencias: 17

    This paper presents a test of S.M. Lipset's thesis that Americans are less respectful or accepting of authority than people from Canada and from two other English-speaking democracies: Australia and Great Britain. We use data from World Values Survey, 1981–83, to compare adult samples from the four populations, with separate analyses for English Canada and French Canada. Twenty-one dependent variables are employed, measuring beliefs about authori…

    The RCAF, with a total strength of 4061 officers and men on 1 September 1939, grew by the end of the war to a strength of more than 263,000 men and women. This important and well-illustrated new history shows how they contributed to the resolution of the most significant conflict of our time.

  • A Genealogy of Tubercular Diseases in Japan

    William JohnstonARTICLESocial History of Medicine1994

    This paper examines the historical transformation of concepts of tubercular diseases in Japan from premodern to modern times. Its principal conclusion is that, between the eighteenth and the twentieth centuries, intellectual and cultural circumstances in Japan first facilitated and then hindered the adoption of Western concepts of tubercular diseases. The Japanese adopted Western concepts of tubercular diseases from the early nineteenth century n…

    Dans cette communication, les auteurs examinent les différences, sur le plan de la conscience de classe, entre trois démocraties occidentales, soit le Canada, la Suède et les États‐Unis. Leur principale conclusion est celle‐ci: le degré d'identification des travailleurs avec la classe ouvrière, la conscience des conflits de classe et la capacité d'envisager une autre forme d'organisation sociale sont sensiblement plus grands en Suède qu'en Amériq…
