Stephanie Abby, Homework for Sept. 9

SYNOPSIS

This article explores the normative aspects of consumers' evaluations and the relationship between the general trait of impulsiveness and consumer buying behavior. The article seems to pose the following questions: 1) Given the appropriate test of difference in the trait-behavior relationship across different normative conditions, what is the comparison of product-moment correlations across normative subgroups? 2) How trait-behavior translate from impulse buying on the vast consumer scale to natural shopping behaviors in an actual retail environment.

William Hatten, Homework for September 9

SYNOPSIS:
Juliane House and Shoshana Blum-Kulka explore how translating plays from a source language to a target language results in necessary shifts of cohesion and coherence. They further seek to explain that the discourse of the play can be paralled but not duplicated due to explicit changes in redundancy or transparency in correlation to differences in grammar between the source and target languages.

The Power of Women through the Family in Medieval Europe: 500-1100

Jo Ann McNamara, Suzanne Wemple

Feminist Studies, Vol. 1, No. 3/4, Special Double Issue: Women's History (Winter - Spring, 1973), pp. 126-141

Published by: Feminist Studies, Inc.

Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1566483

 

In The Power of Women Through the Family in Medieval Europe, Jo Ann McNamara and Suzanne Wemple examine the role women in the Western European middle ages played in their family units. The research questions, are: 1. What role exactly did women play in their daily household existence, what did they do and how did they live. 2. Were women "hostages of society", or did they submit of their own free will to a virtual life of bondage and work. 3. Did aristocratic women have it any better than the average women of a lower class, or were their lives actually much harder (if not physically more demanding)?. An useful article with original research primarily taken from first hand accounts (diaries and the equivalent of newspapers) and the examination of trade records, illuminates women in the middle ages and examines how exactly they functioned.
