Tanaka and Sato (1981) examined and demonstrated transitive inference in the pigeon before the publication of von Fersen, Wynne, Delius, and Staddon (1991), which is commonly cited as the first paper demonstrating this phenomenon in pigeons. Unfortunately, Tanaka and Sato's study is unknown to researchers in countries other than Japan, because it was not published in any refereed journal, but in the proceedings of a Japanese academic meeting. Their study and foresightedness, however, should be recognized.

Faulkner's familiarity with the philosophy of Henri Bergson has been pointed out already by some critics. On the other hand, I have presented evidence to demonstrate the influence of the theology of Jeremy Taylor, a seventeenth century theologian, on Faulkner repeatedly in my previous paper. The aim of this paper is a modest attempt to interpret how the influence of Bergson and that of Jeremy Taylor are united in Faulkner's view of the world through the character of Hightower in Light in August. When we interpret the character Hightower in Light in August using Bergsonian concepts, we may understand Hightower's awakening from "dead life" into a sort of life by way of intuition when he sympathizes with Mrs. Hines, who is distressed by the destiny of her grandson, Joe Christmas. On the other hand the interpretation of Light in August in reference to Jeremy Taylor, explains Hightower's turning to the light of God by facing his sense of sin directly. If we find correspondence in the relevance of Bergson's elan vital and Taylor's concept of omnipresence of God's love which radiates at any moment, both interpretations make an organic whole of Faulkner's world where the key to life lies in love in order to join in the great reality of God, in Bergsonian words in duration by way of intuition, "intellectual sympathy." This conclusion completely matches Faulkner's own belief that man seeks love to be one with some universal force.

Indian call centers serving American clients are a recent phenomenon made possible by improvements in communications technologies and the global outsourcing of business services from the United States. This paper investigates the implications of this form of globalization on Indian call center workers and Indian culture. Using the concept of deterritorialization, the study reveals that call centers represent a highly globalized work space in which workers' sense of time, place, identity and voice are all challenged by pressures emanating from abroad. However, the picture that emerges of globalization via call centers is contradictory. Although call center training and working conditions are often disagreeable and may appear to Americanize or de-Indianize workers, call center employees generally do not internalize American linguistic and cultural norms and remain distinctly Indian in outlook. Displaying resilience and initiative, they also maximize the economic advantages of their job positions. The case of Indian call center workers, therefore, challenges notions of an all-powerful globalization that homogenizes, Americanizes and undermines cultures in the developing world.
