Full textThe Zuozhuan 评论 (Zuo Commentaries); a narrative history of China's Spring and Autumn period (722-479 BCE), has been included among the thirteen classics of Confucianism since the Tang dynasty. Yet its pages contain numerous references to Shang and early Zhou divination practices. It seems paradoxical that a text identified with Confucian humanism would be full of references to the supernatural. I suggest that the Zuozhuan builds upon the foundations of the authority of Shang and Zhou ritual to establish the authority of Confucian doctrine. This phenomenon has been mentioned by other scholars, though no study has addressed this directly. It is the goal of this thesis to use passages in the Zuozhuan to demonstrate how authority moved from an external source to an internal source during the Eastern Zhou and to show that Zuozhuan makes use of something that Lakoff and Johnson have called idealized cognitive models.

As the flagship of the New Deal, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was a triumph of regional and environmental design that has since fallen on hard times. When writer James Agee toured the region in 1935, he described the massive dam construction underway as a great skeleton across the valley, to be fleshed with social programs; economic incentives; navigation; flood control; power; and economic development. There were planned towns, parkways, jobs, and cheap energy - a regional utopia. Eighty years later, what remains of that skeleton is a static system of dams and their reservoirs, and an aging power grid more reliant on heavily polluting fossil fuels than hydroelectric power. The program is heavily in debt, regularly challenged to privatize and decentralize. Meanwhile, the TVA's region has reoriented itself along new programmatic and spatial lines, increasingly relegating the TVA to irrelevant anachronism. Today's TVA is an important American landscape facing obsolescence, largely due to organizational ossification and a failure to adapt to changing attitudes towards environmental management. Using the Tennessee River as a conceptual and physical bounding device, this thesis revisits the original goals of the TVA and critically examines their contemporary incarnation. The thesis then maps the TVA's remant components in order to explore how a relatively rigid and anachronistic regional plan may be retrofitted within a wholly different economic and political climate in order to rescue it from gradual decline. Ultimately, the thesis argues that rather than reinstituting the original New Deal toolkit, a contemporary retrofit could instead take the form of a flexible series of minimal components around three lenses of intervention: the public; ecology; and energy. These can then be layered onto the existing network to reframe its symbolism for the 21st century. In this way, the project identifies points of entry for grafting contemporary uses and meanings onto the TVA's remnant spine.

Full textIn this study, I have tried to get an increased knowledge about administrators’ experiences about how they deal with power on their jobs as public authorities. To achieve my goal, I have interviewed four administrators within the same county, all working towards The Act concerning Support & Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments. The interview material has been analyzed by using Michael Foucault's relational power concept. It turned out that the informants did not reflect upon the power, but focused instead on the individual clients’ needs of various relief efforts from the municipality.
