A major source for the collection was Rozhdestvenskii\u2019s Manuscript No. 1, which he had obtained from a leader of a group of so-called \u0022flagellants,\u0022 who were rumored to engage in ecstatic orgies and to worship \u201csectarian gods and goddesses.\u201d Rozhdestvenskii and Uspenskii would no doubt have been surprised to learn that several of the songs in their collection had not originated in Russia at all but were translations of popular pietistic hymns from Europe and the United States. For example, Frances Jane Crosby (better known as Fanny Crosby), the blind American Methodist bard who authored thousands hymns, including such classics as \u0022Blessed Assurance,\u0022 wrote one of the songs copied down into Manuscript No. 1. Moreover, Crosby\u2019s hymn was included in a completely different, authoritative collection of Russian folk poetry collected by the Bolshevik scholar Vladimir Bonch-Bruevich.

This reading group session centers the praxis, reclamation, and centering of trans pleasure -- from trans sexualities and trans sexual cultures to the pleasure and joy found in trans-affirming parties, comedy, social media, and everyday life. Trans pleasure is a sensual and affective mode of relation that is vital, insurgent, and empowering in our increasingly anti-transgender political climate.

I am talking about Bell experiments, the subject of the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics, based on Bell\u2019s 1964 theorem. These falsify not a particular theory, but all theories which satisfy a set of natural metaphysical assumptions. In recent years, new theorems along these lines have been devised, and I will talk about one by myself and co-workers that combines Bell\u2019s 1964 idea with those of two other scientists of roughly the same era. Specifically, realizing a thinking machine (\u00e0 la Turing) on a quantum computer, in the role of Wigner\u2019s friend, on one side of a Bell experiment, would rule out a set of still widely held metaphysical assumptions. Either that, or it would discover completely new physics, which would be even more exciting.

From romance scams to investment fraud, scammers rely on narrative sequencing, strategic ambiguity and linguistic framing to transform suspicion into trust. By situating online fraud within the tradition of rhetorical studies, we argue for an applied humanities framework that treats persuasion as infrastructure.

Peter\u2019s efforts to reorient the field of Native American history are part of his enduring legacy.

Often the most contentious \u201cmodern\u201d problems in Indian country have roots deep in the past. Thus, history remains relevant to contemporary Indians as well as to their non-Indian neighbors.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EA light lunch will be provided, but RSVP is required.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Chr class=\u0022copy-divider\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout the speaker\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cimg class=\u0022img-fluid align-left\u0022 style=\u0022padding-right:16px;\u0022 src=\u0022\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/inline-images\/Hurtado%20Mug%20shot_1.jpg\u0022 data-entity-uuid=\u002273a3163b-1d58-4d1f-8033-eb6c1e676c86\u0022 data-entity-type=\u0022file\u0022 width=\u0022300\u0022 height=\u0022199\u0022 loading=\u0022lazy\u0022\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlbert L.
