Ethical Mimesis and Emergence Aesthetics
In nature the transformation of dead matter (objects) into living matter endowed with green energy or subjectivity is called emergence. Art itself, I argue, is an emergence phenomenon, enacting and replicating in theme and form emergence in nature. Literature thus conceived is about the emergence of spirit. It depicts forces that suppress spirit and enables the spiritual in nature to find expression. It gives voice to spirit rising. Mimesis is th…
Interspecies Dialogue and Animal Ethics: The Feminist Care Perspective
Most contemporary theories of animal ethics fail to respond to and incorporate the expressed viewpoint of animals in their analyses. Feminist care theory, by contrast, holds that the standpoint of animals must be at the heart of any theorizing about their treatment. We humans must listen to what animals are telling us and formulate our ethical responses accordingly. Major authorities on animal behavior, from Darwin and von Uexküll to contemporary…
Animal Rights and Feminist Theory
Peter Singer prefaces his groundbreaking treatise Animal Liberation (1975) with an anecdote about a visit he and his wife made to the home of a woman who claimed to love animals, had heard he was writing a book on the subject, and so invited him to tea. Singer’s attitude toward the woman is contemptuous: she had invited a friend who also loved animals and was “keen to meet us. When we arrived our hostess’s friend was already there, and ... certai…
Caring to Dialogue: Feminism and the Treatment of Animals
Provincial Life with Animals
The relationship of peasants and villagers with their animals in the premodern era is a missing chapter in the history of human-animal relations. Works on peasant culture ignore animals, and works on animals neglect their place in rural lives. This article, based on the depiction of premodern peasant and village life in hundreds of local-color novels and stories of the early nineteenth century, begins to fill in this gap in animal studies scholar…
Adjusting misclassification of outcome in case-control studies
Objective Misclassification of outcome may cause biased estimation for associations of potential risk factors with important diseases. For example, case-control studies of localised prostate cancer frequently measure blood levels of circulating prostate specific antigen (PSA) in healthy men and biopsy those with an elevated level. Inevitably, some men with prostate cancer will be misclassified as controls, either because they do not have an eleva…
Tolstoy's Animals
In recent years, critics sensitive to animal issues have begun to theorize a new direction in literary criticism, an animal-centric or animal-standpoint criticism. Such a criticism seeks to examine works of literature from the point of view of how animals are treated therein, often looking to reconstruct the standpoint of the animals in question. This article examines a selection of short stories by Leo Tolstoy considering them exemplary from the…
Not a right but a public function: The debate in the French National Assembly over the 1872 law on jury formation
Because of the highly politicized nature of the French judicial system in the nineteenth century, laws governing the selection of jurors were often the subject of strong political debate. There were repeated controversies over which citizens should be jurors and which authorities should draw up the annual jury lists from which the trial panels were drawn. Perhaps no event better reflected the nature of the controversy than the debate which occurr…

Ecofeminist Literary Criticism: Reading The Orange
Ecofeminism, a new vein in feminist theory, critiques the ontology of domination, whereby living beings are reduced to the status of objects, which diminishes their moral significance, enabling their exploitation, abuse, and destruction. This article explores the possibility of an ecofeminist literary and cultural practice, whereby the text is not reduced to an “it” but rather recognized as a “thou,” and where new modes of relationship—dialogue, …

Panel Processes for Revising Relative Values of Physician Work: A Pilot Study
In this study, a set of meetings was conducted to pilot a group-discussion-based method anchored by a reference set of services with agreed-on values for revising the Medicare Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS). The authors focused on the method as it evolved over the sequence of meetings, rather than on whether the relative values of work obtained were more or less valid than relative values of work obtained elsewhere. Four pilot panels…

Alcohol consumption and outcome of pregnancy
In a prospective study 1256 pregnant women at their first antenatal visit were asked if they drank alcohol every day, occasionally, or not at all, both at that time and before the diagnosis of pregnancy. There were no significant differences, among the three alcohol groups, in the proportions having miscarriages, perinatal deaths, congenital anomalies, or premature births. Women who reported drinking every day before pregnancy was diagnosed had h…

The Unpublished Love Poems of Sarah Orne Jewett
Sarah Orne Jewett is not known as a poet; it is safe say that she did not think of herself primarily as a poet. She published thirty-six poems in her lifetime.[l] Most of these were printed in her early years-before 1884. only collection of her poetic works, Verses, which contains nineteen poems (twelve of which had been previously published), was published posthumously. Nevertheless, among unpublished Jewett materials,[2] there are 140 verse com…

Archetypal Patterns in Women's Fiction
Archetypal patterns endure because they give expression to perennial dilemmas submerged in the collective unconscious. Having examined more than 300 novels by both major and minor women writers over three centuries, Annis Pratt perceives in women's fiction distinctive elements of plot, characterization, image, and tone. She argues that women's fiction should be read as a mutually illuminative or interrelated field of texts reflecting feminine arc…
