abstract: Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics (Russian: Проблемы поэтики Достоевского, problemy poetiki Dostoevskogo) is a book by the 20th century Russian philosopher and literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin. It was originally published in 1929 in Leningrad under the title Problems of Dostoevsky's Creative Art but was re-published with significant additions under the new title in 1963 in Moscow. Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics is considered to be a seminal work in Dostoevsky studies and an important contribution to literary theory. Bakhtin introduces a number of key concepts, such as Polyphony and Carnivalisation, to elucidate what he saw as unique in Dostoevsky's literary art. He argues that Dostoevsky's works are essentially dialogical, unfolding on the basis of interaction between autonomous voices, as opposed to monological, where plot and character unfold within the confines of a single authorial universe. In consequence, it is argued that attempts to expound Dostoevsky's novels from any sort of monological critical perspective will always fail to penetrate them.

Legal person
comment: A legal person in legal contexts typically is a person (or less ambiguously, a legal entity)—whether human or non-human—that is recognized as having certain privileges and obligations such as the legal capacity to enter into contracts, to sue, and to be sued. However, the term "legal person" is ambiguous because it is often used as a synonym of terms that refer only to non-human legal entities, specifically in contradistinction to "natural person". Legal personhood is a prerequisite to legal capacity, the ability of any legal person to amend (enter into, transfer, etc.) rights and obligations.
abstract: A legal person in legal contexts typically is a person (or less ambiguously, a legal entity)—whether human or non-human—that is recognized as having certain privileges and obligations such as the legal capacity to enter into contracts, to sue, and to be sued. However, the term "legal person" is ambiguous because it is often used as a synonym of terms that refer only to non-human legal entities, specifically in contradistinction to "natural person". So there are of two kinds of legal entities, human and non-human: natural persons (also called physical persons) and juridical persons—also called juridic, juristic, artificial, legal, or fictitious persons, Latin: persona ficta—which are entities such as a corporation, firm, business or non-business group, or government agency, etc., that are treated in law as if they were persons. While human beings acquire legal personhood when they are born (or even before in some jurisdictions), juridical persons do so when they are incorporated in accordance with law. Legal personhood is a prerequisite to legal capacity, the ability of any legal person to amend (enter into, transfer, etc.) rights and obligations. In international law, consequently, legal personality is a prerequisite for an international organization to be able to sign international treaties in its own name.

The conference sponsored only men's sports; awarding championships in baseball, basketball, cross-country, golf, swimming, indoor & outdoor track and field, tennis, and wrestling. The first conference championship was in cross country in the fall of 1970. Southern Illinois won that championship and almost made a clean sweep by winning championships in basketball, wrestling, swimming, baseball, tennis, and both indoor and outdoor track. Only Ball State prevented a sweep by winning the golf championship that spring. At that time (as is generally still the case now), in order to be recognized by the NCAA, a conference was required to have six or more member institutions. The Midwestern Conference had only five members and was unable to find a sixth, so it ceased operations after only two years. The five member schools eventually affiliated with other conferences. The conference Commissioner was Jack McClelland, the former Drake Bulldogs basketball coach and athletic director, who had resigned as commissioner of the North Central Conference in order to accept the position with the Midwestern Conference.

Missouri v. Holland
abstract: Missouri v. Holland, 252 U.S. 416 (1920), was a United States Supreme Court case that centered on the constitutionality of implementing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. In a 7–2 decision authored by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, the Court upheld the federal government's exercise of the treaty power and found no violation of the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The state of Missouri argued that under the Tenth Amendment, the power to regulate game was the purview of the states, since it was not among the enumerated powers of the federal government; therefore, the United States government had no constitutional right to negotiate and enforce a treaty concerning the hunting of waterfowl. Although the Court found sufficient jurisdictional basis for Missouri to enjoin an allegedly unconstitutional federal regulation -- due to the quasi-sovereign right of a state to regulate game hunting -- it ultimately ruled that the Supremacy Clause renders treaties the "supreme law of the land," and thus treaty provisions could not be challenged by the states through judicial review. The Court also reasoned that protecting wildlife was in the national interest and could only be accomplished through national (i.e. federal) action. Missouri is also notable for Justice Holmes' reference to the idea of a living constitution, in which the Constitution changes over time and adapts to new circumstances without formal amendments.
