George Jardine's investigative rhetoric and epistemic writing theoryBird, Barbara J. January 2005 (has links)
This dissertation explicates the work of George Jardine, an eighteenth-century Scottish rhetorician, through two lenses--Scottish Enlightenment epistemology and contemporary epistemological writing theories. I use these dual interpretive lenses to create a dialogue between Scottish Enlightenment epistemology, contemporary epistemological writing theories, and Jardine's own ideas. I constructed this dialogue beginning with an examination of Jardine's work, most of which was held in Scotland's National Library and the University of Glasgow's archival library. I then added the lens of Scottish Enlightenment epistemology in order to position Jardine's ideas as contributing to philosophy or theory. Finally, I used the lens of contemporary epistemological writing theories to position Jardine's ideas as being concerned with writing and epistemology, anticipating our own theories. From these two lenses I have shaped Jardine's ideas into what I am labeling investigative rhetoric and epistemic writing theory.Investigative rhetoric is the process of searching for the best truth about a humanist issue and the resulting discourse. The procedure for composing this discourse puts epistemic writing theory into practice and allows writers to construct significant meaning.Epistemic writing theory explains how knowledge is created through writing. This theory is composed of three parts--thinking, motivations, and process, with all three being critical components of the theory and all interrelating. The first part includes the most cognitive aspects of composing knowledge, the second part explains how moral and intellectual commitments motivate knowledge construction, and the third part details the interaction of writing and knowledge production and presents a composing process that utilizes this theory.I conclude with an appeal to apply this rhetoric and theory derived from Jardine's work in our classrooms. If we taught epistemic writing theory as a first year writing curriculum, our students could understand all three aspects of what it means to generate knowledge through composing. Students could apply this theory to their own writing while composing investigative rhetoric, a rhetoric that engages the writer in the process of composing knowledge, motivated by moral and intellectual commitments to fording the best "truth" available. / Department of English

David Steuart Erskine, 11th Earl of Buchan : a study of his life and correspondenceLamb, James Gordon January 1963 (has links)
All the biographical accounts of David Steuart Erskine, 11th Earl of Buchan, are slight, and often very unsympathetic. Most have relied for factual information on his obituary, published in volume 99 of The Gentleman's Magazine. Malicious and distorted comments, particularly by Sir Walter Scott, have been responsible for the growth of a legend about Buchan's eccentricity, although the charge of absurd conduct was lodged against him in his own lifetime. It is interesting to note that a tradesman in Galashiels, near Buchan's former residence at Dryburgh Abbey, was found to talk about Buchan's patriotism, but at much greater length about his oddities, as recently as 1962. Those who could have given posterity a fair assessment of Buchan did not do so, and the way was left open for those who saw him only as vain and self-seeking. He was unlucky in living in the neighbourhood of Scott's house, Abbotsford, and because of this he has never had his due, even in the Border Country where he spent almost half his life. The cult of Scott flourishes there, but to Buchan there is no memorial. Whereas Abbotsford is much sought after, and is still in the possession of Scott's descendants, Dryburgh Abbey passed from Buchan's family and was given to the nation. Scott would probably have been amused had he known that the time would come when visitors to the Abbey would seek out his grave whilst that of Buchan goes unnoticed.

O Fazendeiro do Brasil: manuais agrícolas no Brasil colonial em finais do século XVIII / The Farmer of Brazil: agricultural manuals in colonial Brazil at the end of the 18th centuryAzevedo, Dannylo de 08 June 2018 (has links)
Em finais do século XVIII, o Estado português patrocinou a publicação de manuais agrícolas que atravessaram o Atlântico rumo ao Brasil. Com uma linguagem didática, esses livros deveriam promover a instrução dos agricultores da colônia a fim de que estes melhorassem seus métodos de produção com os aportes de uma agricultura concebida como mais científica, baseada em princípios da filosofia natural das Luzes. Publicados entre 1798 e 1806 sob a responsabilidade do frei José Mariano da Conceição Veloso (1742-1811), os onze volumes que integram a coleção intitulada O Fazendeiro do Brasil resultam, precisamente, de uma política colonial ilustrada que concebia a agricultura como um dos pilares de sustentação do império ultramarino português. Esperava-se que esses livros contribuíssem para dinamizar a economia colonial através da promoção do seu aperfeiçoamento técnico, bem como de sua diversificação. Neste sentido, para além da expressão de uma esfera cultural e científica agitada pela Ilustração, esses manuais consistiam em instrumentos de interferência do Estado na realidade econômica do Brasil. O presente trabalho debruça-se sobre a obra O Fazendeiro do Brasil com o objetivo de contextualizar e evidenciar em alguma medida o sentido que a mesma possuía para a sua época. / At the end of the XVIII century, the Portuguese state sponsored the publication of manuals of agriculture that crossed the Atlantic Ocean towards Brazil. With a didactic language, the books were aimed to promote the colony farmers instruction in order to improve their methods of production with the contributions of a more scientific agriculture, based on the natural philosophy of the Enlightment. Published between 1798 and 1806 under the responsibility of Friar José Mariano da Conceição Veloso (1742-1811), the eleven volumes form the collection entitled O Fazendeiro do Brasil (The Farmer of Brazil). The books are precisely the result of an illustrated colonial policy, which conceived agriculture as one of the pillars of the Portuguese overseas empire. It was hoped that such books would contribute to boosting the colonial economy by promoting its technical improvement, as well as diversification. In this sense, beyond of being the expression of a cultural and scientific sphere agitated by the Enlightment, these manuals consisted of States instruments for interference in the economic reality of Brazil. The present work treats of the collection O Fazendeiro do Brasil in order to contextualize and to evidence in some extent the sense that it possessed for its epoch.
