The final chapter details the end of Wahl's summer with Dreyer. He describes the feast cooked by Ebba Dreyer the night before he leaves Denmark. Wahl chooses to leave because of Dreyer's need to work in isolation on all studio scenes. Wahl returns to Copenhagen by bus and by ferryboat. He claims that the trip reminds him of his most beloved short film by Dreyer, They Caught the Ferry. The film is only 12 minutes in length, but Wahl describes it as an impressive, eye-catching spine tingler. In the final lines of the chapter, Wahl jokes about meeting more terrible weather on his return trip to America.Less

This chapter traces suffragists' engagement with the Republican effort to annex Santo Domingo to the United States in the 1870s during national Reconstruction after the Civil War. This investigation of the intersection of the “Santo Domingo Question” and the woman question demonstrates how discussions about the expansion of the physical boundaries of national territory inflected discussions about the gendered boundaries of physical space. It was during these discussions that suffragists first introduced the New Departure, a strategy for gaining votes for women based on their new status as national citizens under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.Less

The form and content of the study of theology in the modern epoch are marked by a vast quantity and variety of the most diverse and, in part, the most divergent points of departure. The classical unity and perspicuity of the world of theological thought, so typical in earlier centuries, have dissolved with the plurality of the horizons and problems of modern thinking. The reality of the world, science, and theology appears no longer as a single “orbis,” but rather as an open and unbounded space. Indeed, precisely for the study of theology in modern universities, the catchphrase, the “new vastness,” thus appear to hold as well. This book provides an access to Karl Rahner to unpack his thinking and to make a theological inspection of his work possible. In this respect it is essential to locate the central point of departure for the theology of Karl Rahner in the concerns and questions of human beings and, to take a cue from the key concept of the “anthropological point of departure,” to make understandable the underlying tendency of Rahner's work.Less

This chapter opens with the dismay, confusion, and mourning caused by the prince's departure. Although palace life adjusts to Siddhārtha's absence with the consolations of raising the son named Rahula, the pain does not easily lift for Yashodharā. Through a series of reminiscences, Yashodharā recalls stories of her romantic moments with Siddhārtha. By using the mechanism of Yashodharā's recollections, the poet imaginatively writes what is not found in any classical source: the romantic personality of Siddhārtha after he was married. The chapter dwells on the misery and depression engulfing the princess. As time passes and the prince stays away, the poet describes what the autumn season is like and what festivals and traditional rites are performed by Newars. After hearing the advice of her attendants who bring up precedents from Hindu literature, Yashodharā in the end decides that all she can do is live as an ascetic in the palace.Less

An apparent shadow falls between Rabindranath Tagore's ‘Noshto Neerh’ (1901) and Satyajit Ray's Charulata (1964). ‘Noshto Neerh’ focuses more on the domestic sphere as well as the making and subsequent breaking of a home, an act often interpreted to be a woman's prerogative. Charulata focuses on the lonely lady confined to the world within but one who is constantly seeking intellectual stimulation and wants to establish contact with the world without. This chapter examines the enigma of ‘departure’ in ‘Noshto Neerh’ and Charulata. It compares the last shot of the film to Michelangelo's work, The Creation of Adam. Unlike Michelangelo's creation which exudes vitality, however, the gesture by the protagonist Charu is more of an attempt to maintain the status quo and restore the prevalent patriarchal order which does not allow any transgression.Less

Society has come to recognize the leaders of modern corporations, among many others, as heroes. In order to understand why some business leaders are being seen in larger-than-life contexts, this chapter examines the concept of hero as illustrated in mythology and folk literature. It argues that what business heroes have in common with the heroes of myth and religion is that they not only symbolize dreams and aspirations to their firms, and even to general society, but also are accomplishers of pragmatic goals. The chapter also presents how the heroic self-concepts of leaders in the latter part of their careers, tempered by the corporate settings, gives rise to distinctly different departure styles. Four categories are illustrated: monarch-like exits, general-like exits, ambassador-like exits, and governor-like exits. This chapter concludes by providing a brief outline of the book which includes an overview of the succeeding chapters, the book's goals, and the primary sources of data.Less

Special psychological barriers to career exit that business heroes face are suggested in this chapter. These include the feared loss of heroic stature and loss of the sense of heroic mission. This chapter also presents how these barriers can be lessened or heightened depending on the environment of the heroes' firms. The chapter also introduces four types of departure styles of retiring business leaders, namely: monarchs, generals, ambassadors, and governors, as well as a variety of methods used to overcome the barriers to retirement. Also included in this chapter are key findings from a chief executive survey and an analysis of compustat data.Less

The conflict and confusion that follow in the wake of monarchic departures can be found as well following the other leadership departure styles if they occur in a family firm. To gain further insights into the succession tensions that confront family firms, the chapter surveys a group of chief executives who belong to the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO). In addition, this chapter examines three very different family successions in detail. The first focuses on Dunkin' Donuts and explores an entrepreneur's ambassador-like departure and transfer of power of the chief executive to his son. The second concerns Corning Glass Works. Here, the chapter describes the transfer of command of a 130-year-old firm between brothers. The third example illustrates how Henry Ford II stabilizes the troubled firm founded by his namesake. Here, the passage of top office to non-family management is observed.Less

The impact of a leader's exit from office demonstrates just how much leaders matter. A leader's late-career self-image, expressed in the departure style, fundamentally influences the firm's strategy and the livelihood of many. This chapter briefly summarizes the discussions on the previous chapters. In discussing chief executives as aging heroes, three levels of heroism are outlined: as society's heroes, heroes of the firm, and self-defined heroes. With regards to heroic self-concept and executive retirement, this chapter asserts that it is during the time of retirement when one most often find a clash between the organization's goals and the leader's personal goals. As for heroic self-concept and heroic context, four dominant departure styles emerged. This chapter also focuses on the link between corporate renewal and personal renewal, including how individual leaders can guide their own self-renewal and how firms can usefully sponsor late-career revitalization.Less

This chapter examines the tannaitic treatment of the idea of moral defilement. It begins by offering some general observations about the tannaitic passages that form the basis of analysis. The first general observation is that there are very few passages in the tannaitic corpus that articulate the idea of moral defilement. The second is that the bulk of the tannaitic passages which discuss moral defilement are midrashim on scriptural verses dealing with moral impurity. The third point to be made regarding the passages is that they typically articulate a rather literal reading of the biblical verses. Topics discussed include the sources of moral impurity in tannaitic literature, effects of moral impurity in tannaitic literature, the date of the doctrine of moral defilement, and the meaning of the doctrine of moral defilement. In general, a number of tannaitic traditions relating to the biblical doctrine of moral defilement are shown.Less

This chapter discusses parnellism, a policy followed by Parnellites based on the principles of Irish nationalist Charles Stewart Parnell. Charles Stewart Parnell dominated the Home Rule controversy of the 1880s. Parnell's active flirtation with Fenianism was linked to a series of private meetings with Irish republican leaders. The first section examines the ‘New Departure’ package offered to Parnell — support of American militants in exchange for the abandonment of Butt's federal demand. The second section describes the experiences of the different members of the Land League. The third section discusses the Kilmainham Treaty. The fourth and fifth sections explore the campaign and debate towards home rule. The sixth section reports Parnell's task of keeping together a movement and a country dominated by a sense of anticlimax and disappointment.Less

The chapter assesses the accomplishments and problems of the deportation system. It attempts to make out the best possible case in support of the system’s achievements and then to fairly evaluate its major problems. There can be little doubt that extended border control deportation—by removing many hundreds of thousands of people per year has surely accomplished something. Still, it turns out to be quite difficult, perhaps impossible, to measure the system’s accomplishments. Similarly, post entry social control aims at criminal deportations. The obvious metric for success in such an endeavor would seem to be lower crime rates, generally, or perhaps crime rates involving non-citizen perpetrators. But recent studies and data are unsupportive. The chapter then considers an array of problems within the deportation such as detention, agency problems, overzealous prosecutors, mistakes, deportation of disabled people, and post-departure bars.Less

This chapter examines crusader departure songs in Middle High German and Old Occitan and how they use conventions concerning the heart, the voice of crusading intention, and pilgrimage movement. In the Minnesang tradition, poets such as Friedrich von Hausen, Hartmann von Aue, and Albrecht von Johansdorf produce a courtly crusade idiom through bodily fragmentation, the intervention of the female voice, and dramatizing the transformation of the will. Troubadours such as Jaufre Rudel and Peire Vidal find ways to record a vexed movement of pilgrimage that records the process of restraining and reshaping desire. They commemorate the process of their turn from earthly love through material objects, such as crystals and ensigns.Less

This chapter examines the Vietnam War Center and Archive located at Texas Tech University, the largest collection of personal artifacts and materials related to the Vietnam War in the United States. This major historical institution is keen on documenting all narratives and artifacts as a living memorial related to the war, including those of former South Vietnamese refugees who are often denied a voice a “archival others.” The chapter explains the origins of this archive, using historical documents and interviews with its staff. This is followed by an analysis of the archive’s newsletters to demonstrate the type of public image this archive promotes. Third, it interrogates the type of oral histories contained in the archive, recognizing the stories mostly of American GIs and their problematic view of Vietnamese people. The chapter also reviews the largest collection of Vietnamese materials in the center like the Orderly Departure Program, the visa application files from South Vietnamese refugees seeking asylum in the United States.

This chapter examines the Vietnam War Center and Archive located at Texas Tech University, the largest collection of personal artifacts and materials related to the Vietnam War in the United States. This major historical institution is keen on documenting all narratives and artifacts as a living memorial related to the war, including those of former South Vietnamese refugees who are often denied a voice a “archival others.” The chapter explains the origins of this archive, using historical documents and interviews with its staff. This is followed by an analysis of the archive’s newsletters to demonstrate the type of public image this archive promotes. Third, it interrogates the type of oral histories contained in the archive, recognizing the stories mostly of American GIs and their problematic view of Vietnamese people. The chapter also reviews the largest collection of Vietnamese materials in the center like the Orderly Departure Program, the visa application files from South Vietnamese refugees seeking asylum in the United States. It problematizes the archive’s growing relations with Vietnamese Americans and the Vietnamese socialist state and the ways the archive tries to maintain relations with the socialist government despite the animosity of Vietnamese Americans toward the regime. It ends with the anticipation of a newly conceived “Archive for War and Diplomacy in the Post-Vietnam War Era” to expose the limits and potentials of archives about the Vietnam War.

This chapter focuses on departures. Jewish refugees lucky enough to acquire their crucial visas needed ships to journey on. However, decreasing shipping options caused more long lines, jammed shipping offices, and heightened exasperation. This shortage had already grown dire as the United States limited shipping to and from nations at war in November of 1939. Italy's entry into the war in June of 1940 meant fewer ports, and a smaller number of ships available from France meant higher prices. Additionally, by 1942, word of the mass murder of Jews had begun to leak into Portugal. Some knew; others suspected. Waiting in Portugal, refugees viewed ships as sites of final rescue, but once they set sail, they experienced these vessels as sites of conflicting feelings. Sadness about leaving Europe and all it had represented vied with relief at escaping war and persecution. An adage of the Viennese Jewish author Arthur Schnitzler, “A departure always hurts, even when one has long looked forward to it,” resonated for many.Less

This chapter discusses three more rubrics. These are periodicity, three modes of enunciation, and narrative. Along with the three other rubrics discussed in the previous chapter, they facilitate an exploration of the immediately perceptible dimensions of Romantic compositions. These six rubrics together are best thought of as enabling mechanisms, as schemes for organizing intuited insights, and as points of departure for further exploration.Less

An international strategy adopted by UNESCO including many least developed countries (LDCs) encourages its members to identify and submit nominations for heritage sites to the World Heritage Committee. This chapter outlines different potential funding strategies, such as debt swaps, user fees, conservation taxes, and departure taxes for the conservation and management of World Heritage sites in LDCs. Many LDCs face the problem of gathering appropriate public support for nominating a heritage site. World Heritage sites in LDCs also face challenges including limited financial resources. Thus LDCs need to develop income generating mechanisms for funding a cultural heritage sector. LDC governments also need to exhibit political will, commitment, as well as legislation for protecting natural and cultural heritage resources.Less

Chapter 5 argues that James Frazer came late to the narrative of magical decline, and that he did so within a context of psychical research and in the face of a folkloric narrative itself about the departure of fairies and the decline of magic. It shows how Frazer formulated an influential trinary opposition between religion, magic, and science while encoding this typology within a disenchantment narrative. It also recovers a lot theory, Frazer's notions of "the despiritualization of nature" and demonstrates his subsequent influence on occult thinkers.Less
