Greenstein\, Bar Ilan University.\n\n\n\nJob is a most intriguing figure whose story has excited the imaginations of artists of every kind\, yet the book that portrays him presents only fragments of his biography. Although biographical works are very popular in our world\, the biographical form as such was apparently not typical of ancient Near Eastern literature or of the Hebrew Bible. Some moderns have tried to reconstruct Job's story by superimposing a biographical pattern drawn from elsewhere\, but such readings run up against the details of the biblical text. Not all is lost\, however. Readers may restore many aspects of Job's biography by asking questions and seeking answers in the allusions\, images and suggestive gaps in the book. \n\n\n\nNo background in Hebrew or biblical studies is necessary in order to join in this adventure of the literary imagination. We may discover that Job's story is both sadder and more inspirational than we had formerly thought.

Revisiting Islam's 'Image Problem\,'" a talk by Finbarr Barry Flood\, New York University.\n\n \n\nMost textbooks on Islamic art feel compelled to address the "problem" of the image in passing\, engaging the assumption that an uncompromising Bilderverbot shaped the development of the arts in the Islamic world both negatively (constraining the use of figural imagery) and positively (promoting the development of calligraphy\, geometry and vegetal ornament). Apart from questions of dating\, however\, there has been little sustained analysis of the core proscriptive texts\, their relationship to antecedent traditions and implications for the status of the image in theological Islam. \n\n\n\nAnalysis of both texts and artifacts suggests that the nature of the concerns with images in theological Islam has been misunderstood in modern scholarship. Emphasizing their significance for the history of image theory\, this lecture suggests that the relevant proscriptions highlight the limits of mimetic or representational concepts of the image\, their historical contingency and their inability to offer a universally valid account of the image's ontological status.

But many do not know about the radical system of ideas underlying the stories she created. Standing alone when necessary\, Rand defied the ideas of more than two millennia by championing individualism\, capitalism\, egoism and reason. She named her philosophy "Objectivism" because it proceeds from the axiom that "existence exists" and advocates objectivity in all areas - cognition\, values\, law\, art and so forth. Rand described Objectivism as "a philosophy for living on earth." The UT Objectivism Society is a source for information\, study and discussion concerning Rand's philosophy.

The mentioning of Africa in this regard is often in relation to the Atlantic slavery. No doubt\, slavery was central to the character of the Atlantic Age. Not unlike the other rims of the Atlantic Basin\, the commercial revolution of the Atlantic Age was a critical factor in the internal social changes across the subcontinent especially during the 17th and 18th centuries. This presentation examines how the entanglement of the Bight of Benin and its hinterlands in the Atlantic Age commercial revolutions created a new society that was qualitatively different from that of the preceding centuries.\n\n\n\nOgundiran is the chair of the Africana Studies Department and professor of Africana studies\, anthropology and history at the University of North Carolina\, Charlotte.

However\, once in the college campus context Latinas face unique challenges that have significant consequences for their success and well-being. Evidence suggests that Latina college students report more stress and psychological distress (symptoms of depression and anxiety) than their white counterparts.

Originally filmed in Italy in 1942\, it was thought to be lost for decades until the negatives were discovered in the 1980s\, brought to America\, re-edited and reissued.\n\n\n\nThe time is the Russian Revolution (which Rand lived through). The place is a country burdened with fear - the midnight knock at the door\, the bread hidden against famine\, the haunted eyes of the fleeing\, the grublike fat of the appeasers and oppressors. In a bitter struggle of the individual against the collective\, three people stand forth with the mark of the unconquered in their bearing. In this tensely dramatic story\, Rand shows what the theories of communism mean in practice.
