| faculty follies ideas: Academic Alchemy Pasquale De Marco, 2025-05-08 Academic Alchemy is a scathing indictment of the current state of higher education in America. Drawing upon the firsthand accounts of disillusioned professors, beleaguered students, and whistleblowers, this exposé reveals the shocking realities that have become commonplace in universities across the nation. Behind the ivy-covered walls and prestigious facades, a world of administrative apathy, financial mismanagement, and academic misconduct thrives, casting a long shadow over the pursuit of truth and enlightenment. From the ivory tower's administrative elite, who prioritize self-interest over the well-being of their students and faculty, to the rampant plagiarism and grade inflation that undermine academic standards, the rot runs deep. The once-venerated professoriate has become a mixed bag of tenured titans, adjunct anxieties, and those trapped in the publish-or-perish treadmill, while the student experience has been reduced to a farce, marked by tuition hikes, academic injustice, and mental health crises. The pursuit of knowledge has been replaced by a relentless quest for grants and publications, leading to data manipulation and unethical research practices. Athletics departments have become big-money enterprises, exploiting student-athletes for profit and sacrificing their well-being in the pursuit of championships. The once-lauded commitment to diversity and inclusion has devolved into a shallow dogma, silencing dissenting voices and fostering a culture of intellectual cowardice. Academic Alchemy is a clarion call for action, a wake-up call to reclaim the integrity of academia. It demands a restoration of student rights, a defense of free speech, a reformation of bureaucracy, and a redefinition of success that values true learning over prestige and profit. Only by confronting the uncomfortable truths exposed in this book can we begin to rebuild the trust that has been lost and restore the promise of higher education.

| faculty follies ideas: Resistance from the Right Lauren Lassabe Shepherd, 2023-08-10 Pivoting from studies that emphasize the dominance of progressivism on American college campuses during the late sixties and early seventies, Lauren Lassabe Shepherd positions conservative critiques of, and agendas in, American colleges and universities as an essential dimension of a broader conversation of conservative backlash against liberal education. This book explores the story of how stakeholders in American higher education organized and reacted to challenges to their power from the New Left and Black Power student resistance movements of the late 1960s. By examining the range of conservative student organizations and coalition building, Shepherd shows how wealthy donors and conservative intellectuals trained future GOP leaders such as Karl Rove, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, Pat Buchanan, and others in conservative politics, providing them with tactics to consciously drive American politics and culture further to the authoritarian right and to “reclaim” American higher education. |

| faculty follies ideas: Follies in America Kerry Dean Carso, 2021-08-15 Follies in America examines historicized garden buildings, known as follies, from the nation's founding through the American centennial celebration in 1876. In a period of increasing nationalism, follies—such as temples, summerhouses, towers, and ruins—brought a range of European architectural styles to the United States. By imprinting the land with symbols of European culture, landscape gardeners brought their idea of civilization to the American wilderness. Kerry Dean Carso's interdisciplinary approach in Follies in America examines both buildings and their counterparts in literature and art, demonstrating that follies provide a window into major themes in nineteenth-century American culture, including tensions between Jeffersonian agrarianism and urban life, the ascendancy of middle-class tourism, and gentility and social class aspirations. |
| faculty follies ideas: The Idea of Progress in Eighteenth-century Britain David Spadafora, James Spada, 1990-01-01 The idea of progress stood at the very center of the intellectual world of eighteenth-century Britain, closely linked to every major facet of the British Enlightenment as well as to the economic revolutions of the period. Drawing on hundreds of eighteenth-century books and pamphlets, David Spadafora here provides the most extensive discussion ever written of this prevailing sense of historical optimism. |
| faculty follies ideas: Women and Humor in Classical Greece Laurie O'Higgins, 2003-10-09 Women and Humor in Classical Greece examines the role of women as producers of joking speech, especially within cults of Demeter. This speech, sometimes known as aischrologia, had considerable weight and vitality within its cultic context. It also shaped literary traditions, notably iambic and Attic old comedy that has traditionally been regarded as entirely male. The misogyny for which ancient iambic is infamous derives in part from an oral world in which women's derisive joking voices reverberated. O'Higgins considers this speech from its mythical origins in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, through the reactive iambic tradition and into old comedy. She also examines the poems of Sappho and Corinna as literary jokers, responding in part to their own experience of joking women. The book concludes with a fresh appraisal of the three great 'women's' plays of Aristophanes: Lysistrata, Thesmophoriasouzae, and Ecclesiazousae. |

| faculty follies ideas: Form and Soul Taachal, 2021-07-11 FORM AND SOUL is a philosophical work that announces a great break with the past, the reality of which is being felt by all of us who are the esteemed netizens of the emerging digital age civilization. Leaving behind the machine age conceptions of ideas, societies and civilizations this work tries to realize the ethos of a new civilization where artificial intelligence, information technology and quantum mechanics have turned the ideas of human relations and collective existence upside down. This new world of cyber campaigns and collective intelligence is on the verge of leaving behind the odds of cultural nationalism and liberal democracy to reach a new ideological platform where mankind can base its material and moral existence. This work can be considered as a great forward movement following Francis Fukuyama's ‘The End of History and the Last Man’ and Samuel Huntington's ‘The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order’ to interpret the world where relations between various levels of human organizations are determined by a matrix of dynamic social flows. Defining this newly emerging global social matrix is the main theme of this work. |

| faculty follies ideas: The Idea of Comedy Jan Hokenson, 2006 Disengaging unstated premises to show how the theoretical discourse about comedy often enacts the intellectual disputes of its time, The idea of comedy tracks the history of comic theories along two principal axes. The first is historical, showing how the Hellenistic ethical conception devolves into social superiority and then into populist assertions, enidng on the question of whether contemporary comic theory is still populist today. The second axis is conceptual, sorting theories by types of agreement and dispute. Whether comedy improves the citizens or threatens political instability, whether it insults or enacts moral standards, whether it serves God and the integrated superego or the devil and the anarchic id, are some of the questions addressed by theroists such as Cicero, Maggi, Dryden, Kant, Schopenhauer, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Freud, Lacan, and Genette. -book jacket. |

| faculty follies ideas: The Last Generation Peter S. Carmichael, 2015-12-01 Challenging the popular conception of Southern youth on the eve of the Civil War as intellectually lazy, violent, and dissipated, Peter S. Carmichael looks closely at the lives of more than one hundred young white men from Virginia's last generation to grow up with the institution of slavery. He finds them deeply engaged in the political, economic, and cultural forces of their time. Age, he concludes, created special concerns for young men who spent their formative years in the 1850s. Before the Civil War, these young men thought long and hard about Virginia's place as a progressive slave society. They vigorously lobbied for disunion despite opposition from their elders, then served as officers in the Army of Northern Virginia as frontline negotiators with the nonslaveholding rank and file. After the war, however, they quickly shed their Confederate radicalism to pursue the political goals of home rule and New South economic development and reconciliation. Not until the turn of the century, when these men were nearing the ends of their lives, did the mythmaking and storytelling begin, and members of the last generation recast themselves once more as unreconstructed Rebels. By examining the lives of members of this generation on personal as well as generational and cultural levels, Carmichael sheds new light on the formation and reformation of Southern identity during the turbulent last half of the nineteenth century. |

| faculty follies ideas: Knowledge and Indifference in English Romantic Prose Tim Milnes, 2003-02-27 This 2003 study sheds light on the way in which the English Romantics dealt with the basic problems of knowledge, particularly as they inherited them from the philosopher David Hume. Kant complained that the failure of philosophy in the eighteenth century to answer empirical scepticism had produced a culture of 'indifferentism'. Tim Milnes explores the way in which Romantic writers extended this epistemic indifference through their resistance to argumentation, and finds that it exists in a perpetual state of tension with a compulsion to know. This tension is most clearly evident in the prose writing of the period, in works such as Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads, Hazlitt's Essay on the Principles of Human Action and Coleridge's Biographia Literaria. Milnes argues that it is in their oscillation between knowledge and indifference that the Romantics prefigure the ambivalent negotiations of modern post-analytic philosophy. |

An essential read about a true legend.” —Mikhail Baryshnikov “A study in balance and grace.” —The New York Times Book Review From the legendary dance critic Deborah Jowitt, Errand into the Maze is the definitive biography of the visionary dancer and choreographer Martha Graham. In the pantheon of American modernists, few figures loom larger than Martha Graham. One of the greatest choreographers ever to live, Graham pioneered a revolutionary dance technique—primal, dynamic, and rooted in the emotional life of the body—that upended traditional vocabulary and shaped generations of dancers and choreographers across the globe. Over her sweeping career, she founded what is now the oldest dance company in the country and produced nearly two hundred ballets, many of them masterpieces. And along the way, she engaged with the major debates, events, and ideas of the twentieth century, creating works that cut to the core of the human experience. Time magazine’s “Dancer of the Century,” and the first dancer and choreographer to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Graham was a visionary artistic force and an international cultural figure: hers was the iconic face of what came to be known as modern dance. From the renowned dance writer and former longtime critic for The Village Voice Deborah Jowitt, Errand into the Maze draws on more than a decade of firsthand research to deliver the definitive portrait of this titan. Beginning with Graham’s childhood in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and her early studies at the Denishawn School; weaving in her offstage adventures, including her relationship with her dancer and muse Erick Hawkins; and chronicling her retirement from dancing at age seventy-five and her remarkably productive final years, this elegant, empathetic biography portrays the artist in all her passionate complexity. Most important, Jowitt places Graham’s creations at the heart of her story. Her works, brimming with raw intensity, are intimately linked with their creator, who played the heroine in almost all that she choreographed: Joan of Arc, Jocasta, Clytemnestra, and Judith, among others. In this volume, Graham is center stage once more, and Jowitt casts a brilliant spotlight on her life and work. |
