The study employed Indige…
“Fais ce que dois...advienne que pourra!”: The Story of Wilfrid Beaulieu’s Le Travailleur
U.S.-born, Québec-educated Wilfrid Beaulieu founded the newspaper, Le Travailleur , in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1931. He went on to publish the French-language newspaper for nearly five decades. When Le Travailleur ceased publication in 1978, the year before Beaulieu’s death, it was the last remaining Franco-American weekly newspaper in the United States. This article traces the evolution of this French-language newspaper over nearly half a c…
Possibilities, representations, and norms of belief: Remarks on David Hunter’s On Believing
David Hunter’s On Believing is a rich and worthwhile defense of a distinctive view about the objects and nature of belief. In these comments, I discuss three aspects of the book. I agree with Hunter that the objects of belief are properties or (as I prefer to refer to them) states of affairs. But I argue that he has too narrow a view of the range of possible objects of belief. I defend the idea that belief is in part a matter of representing the …

How many meanings does 'woman' have
Talia Mae Bettcher argues that gender terms like 'woman' have multiple meanings, as different speakers use these terms to pick out different classes-some use 'woman' to pick out (roughly) the class of those assigned female at birth; some use it to pick out a class including both that class and trans women. Bettcher is correct, I argue: it is undeniable that 'woman' has quite different referents in different speakers' mouths; there is furthermore …

Acute Effects of Facial Coverings on Anaerobic Exercise Performance in College-Aged Adults
The use of facial coverings has been amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic as a means to minimize the spread of disease. However, facial coverings may impede ventilation during high-intensity activity, leading to a reduction in cardiopulmonary exercise capacity. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the acute impact of different facial coverings on exercise performance in college-aged individuals during a 300-yard shuttle. It was hypo…
Matjarr Djuyal: How Using Gesture in Teaching Gathang Helps Preschoolers Learn Nouns
There are important efforts being made to revitalise Aboriginal languages in Australia, which are both pedagogically and culturally appropriate. This research seeks to expand the current knowledge of the effectiveness of gesturing as a teaching strategy for young children learning the Gathang language. An experimental method was used to investigate the effectiveness of gesture by employing a context in which other variables (e.g., other teaching …
The Diffusion of the Concept of Public Figure in China
This article considers how and why the legal concept of public figure, which holds public figures to a higher standard that makes it more difficult for them to recover damages when suing for libel, has been diffused in China. The public figure concept developed in the U.S. context as an extension of New York Times v. Sullivan from public officials to public figures, reflecting the deeply embedded value of freedom of expression. Despite authoritar…
Lewis Carroll: Photography on the Move

Tonal Ambiguity in Popular Music's Axis Progressions
The harmonic progression of aFCG (Am-F-C-G) and its transpositions constitute one rotation of what I callAxis progressions, namely progressions that begin with one of these four chords and cycle through the others in order, hence the Axis-a, -F, -C, and -G, respectively. Of these four progressions, the a-form and C-form, and to a lesser extent, the F-form, have become staples of mainstream popular songs from the last decades of the twentieth cent…

Film Music Themes: Analysis and Corpus Study
The phrase structure of film music themes remains virtually unexplored in scholarly literature. This article proposes an analytical system that expands and adapts Caplin 1998 in order to categorize the gamut of film music themes in some detail. This system is then applied to a cross-section of 482 themes from Oscar-nominated scores ranging from the early 1930s to the present day. In doing so, notable divisions appear around 1960 and 1990, times t…
The Humble Parish Bank”: The Cultural Origins of the U.S. Credit Union Movement
In examining the pivotal role French-Canadian Alphonse Desjardins and Franco-American parishes played in developing credit unions in the northeastern United States in the early twentieth century, this essay illustrates how issues of ethnicity, religion, and nationalism intersected successfully to shape the development of cooperative credit institutions across the international border
Context and the Attitudes: Meaning in Context, Volume 1
Thirteen seminal essays by Mark Richard develop a nuanced account of semantics and propositional attitudes. The collection addresses a range of topics in philosophical semantics and philosophy of mind, and is accompanied by a new Introduction which discusses attitudes realized by dispositions and other non-linguistic cognitive structures.
Sonata Form and the Problem of Second-Theme Beginnings
Although the second theme (ST) group is a crucial landmark in Classical sonata form, where it is usually articulated with great clarity, in many instances its beginning cannot be so easily discerned, especially in Beethoven. The problem is that no matter how powerful a single rule may be, none by itself can identify all those locations which may be considered an ST beginning. This article therefore proposes that an ST beginning depends on the pre…

“Why Don't You Be a Klansman?” Anglo-Canadian Support for the Ku Klux Klan Movement in 1920s New England
This article examines a little-known dimension to the Ku Klux Klan movement in the United States during the 1920s. As Anglo-Canadian Protestants supported the KKK to assert control over French-Canadian and other Catholics in the New England states, they undermined the Klan's emphasis on Americanism and illustrated an inherent contradiction in this avowedly nativist organization

This Is Not a Catholic Nation”: The Ku Klux Klan Confronts Franco-Americans in Maine
During the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan expanded to the northeastern United States, where it confronted Franco-American Catholics throughout Maine. In response, this ethnic population modeled an appropriate resistance to the KKK's unyielding message of Americanism and nativism, helping to precipitate the demise of this reactionary mass movement

Propositional Attitudes: An Essay on Thoughts and How We Ascribe Them
This book makes a stimulating contribution to the philosophy of language and philosophy of mind. It begins with a spirited defence of the view that propositions are structured and that propositional structure is 'psychologically real'. The author then develops a subtle view of propositions and attitude ascription. The view is worked out in detail with attention to such topics as the semantics of conversations, iterated attitude ascriptions, and t…

Quantification and Leibniz's Law
It is held by most logicians and philosophers of language that (L) is a principle fundamental to the intent of objectual quantification. It is widely believed, furthermore, that quantificational devices of English involving 'all', 'every' and analogous universal quantifiers, as well as English devices of existential quantification, are objectual quantifiers. And thus, it is widely believed that (L), or at least a somewhat more carefully formulate…

Reference and Competence: Moravcsik's Thought and Language
The book under review consists of a “Problems” section, with chapters entitled “Ontology,” “Thought” and “Language”; and a “Proposals” section, with like-titled chapters. The first section is a survey; as might be expected of one of 126 pages, compression is the watchword. The reviewer felt that it did not live up to dust jacket copy, heralding a book “easily accessible to undergraduates.”
