A New Radiocarbon Database for the Lower 48 States
From 2014 to 2020, we compiled radiocarbon ages from the lower 48 states, creating a database of more than 100,000 archaeological, geological, and paleontological ages that will be freely available to researchers through the Canadian Archaeological Radiocarbon Database. Here, we discuss the process used to compile ages, general characteristics of the database, and lessons learned from this exercise in 'big data' compilation
Empowering legislatures
State legislatures in the United States began using the legislative veto in 1939 to block rules issued by state agencies. At present, 25 state legislatures possess some form of independent legislative veto authority. This study uses a transaction cost theoretical approach to analyse factors expected to influence the adoption and expansion of legislative veto oversight. Results indicate that such measures are more likely in non-Southern states whe…
Translating the heterogeneous literary writing of Taiwan “Musha Incident”
This interview with Michael Berry was conducted on June 14 and 15, 2016 at the University of California, Santa Barbara upon the forthcoming of the English translation of Yusheng (《餘生》) from Columbia University Press. The dialogue between Xiaohua and Michael Berry provides the reader with fascinating observations and comments about the tribulations and rewards of moving texts like Yusheng and The Song of Everlasting Sorrow: A Novel of Shanghai (《長…
Forum 2
This essay proposes a new method for studying Taiwan, explains what it is and how it works, elaborates on the implications of this method, conceptually as well as practically, and invites discussion and debate. I have been calling this method relational comparison (Shih, 2013, 2015, 2016a, 2016b), which I think can help position Taiwan studies beyond the traditional area studies mode and into multiple interdisciplinary fields (such as American st…

Driving energy
U.S. states have led the federal government in instituting policies aimed at promoting renewable energy. Nearly all research on renewable portfolio standards (RPSs) has treated RPS adoption as a binary choice. Given the substantial variation in the renewable energy goals established by RPSs, we propose a new measure of RPS ambition that accounts for the amount of additional renewable energy production needed to reach the RPS goal and the number o…

Chinese Cinema With Hollywood Characteristics, or How The Karate Kid Became a Chinese Film
This chapter traces the radical changes within the Chinese film industry from the 1990s to 2012, highlighting seven categories through which a new model described as “Chinese cinema with Hollywood characteristics” has emerged. The seven categories discussed include (1) Hollywood-style Chinese blockbusters, (2) Hollywood/Chinese coproductions, (3) Chinese remakes of Hollywood productions, (4) artificial Hollywood, (5) invisible Hollywood, (6) the …
Forecasting the 2012 Election With State-Level Economic Indicators
Our State-Level Economic Model incorrectly forecast the outcome of the presidential election. The model's projections were based on the two-party vote in the prior election, the status of the incumbent party in the election/reelection cycle, national and state unemployment rates, and changes in real per capita personal income levels for state residents. Even before the Republican nomination process began, President Obama's success in the 2008 cam…
Pushing “Reset”
Objectives We assess the effects of coaching replacements on college football team performance. Methods Using data from 1997 to 2010, we use matching techniques to compare the performance of football programs that replaced their head coach to those where the coach was retained. The analysis has two major innovations over existing literature. First, we consider how entry conditions moderate the effects of coaching replacements. Second, we examine …
Application of Cultural Metaphors and Cross-Cultural Paradoxes in the Classroom
This article consists of eight “mini-articles,” which describe how each author or authors employ cultural metaphors and/or cross-cultural paradoxes in their classrooms (see also the article “Cultural metaphors and cross-cultural paradoxes” in unit 7.1)
An Entrance to Exit Polling
Engaging students in the design, administration, and postelection analysis of an exit poll can be an excellent experiential learning activity. Lelieveldt and Rossen (2009) argue that exit polls are a “perfect teaching tool” because they provide students with a cooperative (rather than competitive) learning experience; help students better connect theory, methodology, and course substance; and allow students to move outside of the classroom by bra…
Forecasting the 2012 Presidential Election with State-Level Economic Indicators
Nearly all forecast models of US presidential elections provide estimates of the national two-party vote (Campbell 2008). Each of the nine forecasts published in the 2008 forecasting issue of PS: Political Science and Politics made national popular vote total predictions for the major party candidates, while only one provided an expected result in the Electoral College (Klarner 2008). These national vote models are assumed to be reliable forecast…

Crossing Paths or Sharing Tracks?
Brings together over thirty of the leading scholars in Post Medieval archaeology and examines how this relatively new discipline has developed and where it is going. The impetus for this volume lies in the expansion of interest in Post Medieval archaeology in university, commercial, and voluntary sectors. The study of Post Medieval archaeology is a relatively new discipline but, within archaeology as a whole, it represents one of the fastest grow…
Finds, Deposits, and Assigned Status
Recent controlled excavation of archaeological sites of post-1550 Britain and Ireland, in bothresearch and rescue contexts, has often failed to integrate diff erent parts of the record systematically, leading to a breakdown between theory and practice. This chapter examines the relationship between deposit and assemblage, and thereby the use of deposit status designation. This research seeks to adopt a more accurate definition of status, overcomi…

Controversially Executing the Law
During his two terms in office, President George W. Bush dramatically increased the use of the signing statement to make constitutional objections to more than 1,000 provisions passed by Congress and enacted into law. These presidential protests are frequently targeted at legislative veto provisions, which Congress continues to utilize as an oversight resource, despite the landmark ruling in INS v. Chadha, which declared the legislative veto unco…
The Importance of Bodily Gesture in Sofia Gubaidulina's Music for Low Strings
The role of the body in musical performance has recently received quite a lot of study. In most cases, the gesture is seen as subservient to the sound it creates: this is also the case in linguistic studies of gesture-the gesture usually "accompanies" the speech act, placing the visual second to the aural. Instrumental music in the twentieth century has seen an increase in the importance of the body in performance. Many works incorporate (either …

Coding Personhood Through Cultural Terms and Practices
All known languages include within them terms and phrases that describe communicative action specifically and pragmatic action generally. A special subclass of those terms identifies ways of speaking and ways of being silent. This study explores Finnish terms for, and social practices of, quietude (in Finnish, hiljaisuus). Descriptive and interpretive analyses demonstrate a Finnish "natural way of being" (luonteva tapa olla), as when people are u…

Communicating Finnish Quietude
This paper introduces a pedagogical approach to integrating intercultural communication into language learning. The focus is on the development of competence in discovering and interpreting cultural meanings when communicating in English as an international language. The analyses of data which students produced illustrates how discovering implicit cultural meanings embedded in Finnish, about quietude, presents considerable challenges for communic…

Communicating Cultural Dimensions of Gender-related Identity in Female Austrian and Finnish Business Students' Responses to Joanna Kramer (and to each other)
This paper discusses aspects of Austrian and Finnish female business students' responses to the acts and speech of Joanna Kramer in the Oscar winning American film Kramer vs. Kramer. Of special interest are their distinctive conceptions of "equality", "responsibility", "independence" and "choice" in response to the gender-related identity crisis that is the main plot of the film. The cultural meanings of these conceptions were revealed as the fol…
