Uneasy Waters: The Night Riders at Reelfoot Lake, Tennessee, 1908Grove, Jama McMurtery 15 December 2012 (has links)
On October 19, 1908, night riders at Reelfoot Lake, Tennessee kidnapped and murdered Captain Quentin Rankin, an attorney and shareholder in the West Tennessee Land Company. The murder made national news, with coverage emphasizing the night riders' demand for fishing rights. In response, Governor Malcolm Patterson called out the militia to suppress the uprising and advocated for state acquisition of the lake as a means to prevent further violence. In the accepted historical narrative, the uprising at Reelfoot Lake represents an example of rural resistance to the threat that modernization posed to traditional access rights but ignores much of the violence that proceeded Rankin's murder. When contextualized within local conditions and Tennessee's political climate, the night riders' crimes reveal a targeted attack on the exploding cotton economy in which the lake became the arena where farmers contested the agricultural, social, and political changes that accompanied this new economic system.

Contrivance, artifice, and art: satire and parody in the novels of Patrick WhiteWells-Green, James Harold, n/a January 2005 (has links)
This study arose out of what I saw as a gap in the criticism of Patrick White's
fiction in which satire and its related subversive forms are largely overlooked. It
consequently reads five of White's post-1948 novels from the standpoint of satire.
It discusses the history and various theories of satire to develop an analytic
framework appropriate to his satire and it conducts a comprehensive review of the
critical literature to account for the development of the dominant orthodox
religious approach to his fiction. It compares aspects of White's satire to aspects
of the satire produced by some of the notable exemplars of the English and
American traditions and it takes issue with a number of the readings produced by
the religious and other established approaches to White's fiction.
I initially establish White as a satirist by elaborating the social satire that
emerges incidentally in The Tree of Man and rather more episodically in Voss. I
investigate White's sources for Voss to shed light on the extent of his engagement
with history, on his commitment to historical accuracy, and on the extent to which
this is a serious high-minded historical work in which he seeks to teach us more
about our selves, particularly about our history and identity. The way White
expands his satire in Voss given that it is an eminently historical novel is
instructive in terms of his purposes. I illustrate White's burgeoning use of satire
by elaborating the extended and sometimes extravagant satire that he develops in
Riders in the Chariot, by investigating the turn inwards upon his own creative
activity that occurs when he experiments with a variant subversive form, satire by
parody, in The Eye of the Storm, and by examining his use of the devices, tropes,
and strategies of post-modem grotesque satire in The Twyborn Affair.
My reading of White's novels from the standpoint of satire enables me to
identify an important development within his oeuvre that involves a shift away
from the symbolic realism of The Aunt's Story (1948) and the two novels that
precede it to a mode of writing that is initially historical in The Tree of Man and
Voss but which becomes increasingly satirical as White expands his satire and
experiments with such related forms as burlesque, parody, parodic satire, and
grotesque satire in his subsequent novels. I thus chart a change in the nature of
his satire that reflects a dramatic movement away from the ontological concerns
of modernism to the epistemological concerns of post-modernism. Consequent
upon this, I pinpoint the changes in the philosophy that his satire bears as its
ultimate meaning.
I examine the links between the five novels and White's own period to
establish the socio-historical referentiality of his satire. I argue that because his
engagement with Australian history, society, and culture, is ongoing and
thorough, then these five novels together comprise a subjective history of the
period, serving to complement our knowledge in these areas. This study
demonstrates that White's writing, because of the ongoing development of his
satire, is never static but ever-changing. He is not simply or exclusively a
religious or otherwise metaphysical novelist, or a symbolist-allegorist, or a
psychological realist, or any other kind of generic writer. Finally, I demonstrate
that White exceeds the categories that his critics have tried to impose upon him.

Didelio meistriškumo plento dviratininkų rengimas metiniu priešolimpiniu ciklu / Preparation of Lithuanian elite cycling road race riders during Pre-Olympic training cycleBuividas, Andrius 11 August 2011 (has links)
XXIX olimpinės žaidynės, vykusios 2008 metais Pekino mieste buvo jau penktosios, kuriose startavo nepriklausomybę atgavusios Lietuvos sportininkai. Vasaros olimpinėse žaidynėse plento dviračių lenktynių programoje yra dvi rungtys vyrams ir moterims: grupinės ir atskiro starto lenktynės. Šioms varžyboms Lietuvos dviratininkai rengėsi specialiai, vykdydami programoje „Pekinas-2008“ numatytus uždavinius. Pekino olimpinėse žaidynėse vieno iš tiriamųjų dviratininkų pasiektas rezultatas grupinių varžybų distancijoje buvo įvertintas patenkinamai.
Tyrimo tikslas ir uždaviniai - ištirti Lietuvos didelio meistriškumo plento dviratininkų rengimąsi Pekino olimpinėms žaidynėms metiniu ciklu, nustatyti jų ugdymo ypatumus. Nustatyti Lietuvos plento dviratininkų fizinio išsivystymo rodiklių kaitą metiniu rengimosi ciklu, nustatyti Lietuvos plento dviratininkų fizinių ir funkcinių galių rodiklių kaitą metinių rengimosi ciklu, išanalizuoti ir apibendrinti jų varžybinę veiklą ir pasiektus rezultatus.
Plento dviratininkų rengimo technologija yra sudėtinga, reikalaujanti iš sportininko didelių fizinių gebėjimų, funkcinio pajėgumo, laiko sąnaudų, gausaus aptarnaujančio techninio personalo. Šią sudėtingą rengimosi technologiją reikia pagrįsti moksliniais tyrimais.
Buvo organizuotas dviejų Lietuvos plento dviratininkų veiklos tyrimas. Išanalizuotas fizinis krūvis, atliktas metiniu priešolimpiniu treniruočių ciklu. Pateiktos abiejų tiriamųjų dviratininkų fizinio krūvio suvestinės, išanalizuota... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Lithuanian athletes’ participation in the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in 2008, Beijing, was their fifth time participation in the Games as a delegation of independence-regained state. In Olympic Games, cycling road race consists of two events: group race and time trial race (men and women). For this race, Lithuanian riders used to prepare following the tasks set in the special preparatory program “Beijing–2008”. One investigated riders’ results, achieved in Beijing Olympic Games in group race event, received an evaluation as being satisfactory.
The aim and tasks of the investigation were to study Lithuanian elite cycling road race riders’ preparation for Beijing Olympic Games in yearly training cycle, as well as to establish their training peculiarities; focus was also put on examining the change of riders’ physical development, physical and functional capacities indices in yearly preparation cycle, also – to analyze and summarize their competitive activity and achieved results.
Technology of cycling road race riders’ preparation is rather complex and requires much physical and functional capacities of an athlete, as well as time expenditure and numerous technical staff. Thus, this complex preparatory technology is to be scientifically grounded.
Research on two Lithuanian road race riders’ activity was performed, their physical load, carried out during yearly pre-Olympic training cycle, was analyzed. The work presents resume of both riders’ physical load; analysis on... [to full text]
