Book Synopsis Onomastics in Interaction With Other Branches of Science. Volume 2. Anthroponomastics by : Urszula Bijak
Download or read book Onomastics in Interaction With Other Branches of Science. Volume 2. Anthroponomastics written by Urszula Bijak and published by Wydawnictwo UJ. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Onomastics is an area of scholarly interest that has grown considerably in importance in recent years. Consequently, the 27th International Congress of Onomastic Sciences, held in 2021 in Kraków, Poland, gathered scholars from all over the world, active in all subfields of onomastic enquiry, as well as those exploring the areas bordering on other disciplines of the humanities. It thus became a venue for presenting state-of-the-art research in the study of proper names, proposing novel approaches and opening new vistas for future research. The present work is the second of the three volumes of conference proceedings that were the fruit of the congress. Devoted to personal naming, it contains 28 individual articles, contributed by 32 scholars. Some of them study recent fashions in name-giving in countries as diverse as Bulgaria, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, or Sweden. Others explore historical trends in given name choice, exemplified by Estonia or the Netherlands. Family names are represented by the analyses of married names in Hungary, of the surnames of Zagreb Jews, of German surnames in Latvia and the Carpathian Basin, or of changes of foreign-sounding surnames in Sweden. Unconventional naming proved scientifically fruitful too, as can be seen in the chapters on village bynames in Romania or student nicknames in Russia. Finally, there are researchers who provide a general overview of naming patterns in countries as varied as Botswana and Hungary, or Romania and China. The opportunities offered by the application of new technology to onomastic research are explored in relation to the namestock in Denmark and the Netherlands. Simultaneously, these technologies may also themselves lead to the creation of novel objects of study – a case in point being Russian Internet usernames. Anthroponymic data may inform non-onomastic research as well, for instance they can offer insight into a country’s history or ethnic composition, as evidenced by texts dealing with personal naming in Hungary or Ukraine. The volume is complemented by articles whose focus is the interface of onomastics and pragmatics, phonetics, prosody and gender studies, drawing on examples drawn from Dutch, Japanese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. The book is a must not only for onomasticians, but also for researchers in related disciplines, ranging from history, via human geography or philosophy of language, to social studies. However, professionals active in naming will find it useful as well, since it provides a much-needed supranational perspective and enables cross-cultural comparisons.

Book Synopsis Metamorphoses of Landscape and Community in Early Quebec by : Colin MacMillan Coates
Download or read book Metamorphoses of Landscape and Community in Early Quebec written by Colin MacMillan Coates and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2000 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries French settlers radically transformed the landscape of the St Lawrence river, creating strong local communities that became the crucibles of a New World nationalism. Drawing on the insights and methods of cultural history, Colin Coates examines the seigneuries of Batiscan and Sainte-Anne de la Pérade, recreating the social relations between individuals and ethnic groups that inhabited the area. He shows that successive waves of immigrants sought to appropriate the landscape of the New World and replace it with a physical and cultural reality much closer to their European roots and traditions.
Book Synopsis Masculinity and Power in Irish Nationalism, 1884-1938 by : Aidan Beatty
Download or read book Masculinity and Power in Irish Nationalism, 1884-1938 written by Aidan Beatty and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comparative study of masculinity and white racial identity in Irish nationalism and Zionism. It analyses how both national movements sought to refute widespread anti-Irish or anti-Jewish stereotypes and create more prideful (and highly gendered) images of their respective nations. Drawing on English-, Irish-, and Hebrew-language archival sources, Aidan Beatty traces how male Irish nationalists sought to remake themselves as a proudly Gaelic-speaking race, rooted both in their national past as well as in the spaces and agricultural soil of Ireland. On the one hand, this was an attempt to refute contemporary British colonial notions that they were somehow a racially inferior or uncomfortably hybridised people. But this is also presented in the light of the general history of European nationalism; nationalist movements across Europe often crafted romanticised images of the nation’s past and Irish nationalism was thus simultaneously European and postcolonial. It is this that makes Irish nationalism similar to Zionism, a movement that sought to create a more idealized image of the Jewish past that would disprove contemporary anti-Semitic stereotypes.
Book Synopsis Language in Time of Revolution by : Benjamin Harshav
Download or read book Language in Time of Revolution written by Benjamin Harshav and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with two remarkable events--the worldwide transformations of the Jews in the modern age and the revival of the ancient Hebrew language. It is a book about social and cultural history addressed not only to the professional historian, and a book about Jews addressed not only to Jewish readers. It tries to rethink a wide field of cultural phenomena and present the main ideas to the intelligent reader, or, better, present a "family picture" of related and contiguous ideas. Many names and details are mentioned, which may not all be familiar to the uninitiated; their function is to provide some concrete texture for this dramatic story, but the focus is on the story itself.

Book Synopsis Social Proprieties by : David Postles
Download or read book Social Proprieties written by David Postles and published by New Academia Publishing/ The Spring. This book was released on 2006 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines theater and life in an attempt to consider how people inter- acted in face-to-face situations in early-modern England, and to examine the wider implications of those relationships for social organization. The research behind the text is interdisciplinary: it draws on mid-Tudor comedies, the City comedies, and early-Stuart plays, illustrating how the dramatic realism of those playwrights interrelates to the real social world. "The idea of this book to recreate the social structure from the way persons addressed one another and the variety of social descriptors employed is long overdue." - Richard Smith, FBA Professor of Historical Demography, Cambridge University. "It's a novel study of an intrinsically interesting subject, drawn from sources never before systematically explored by social historians. It will prove a useful contribution to early modern English social & cultural history, opening another window on the lives, social networks, and language of ordinary folk." - Margo Todd, Walter H. Annenberg Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania. "David Postles was able to successfully combine research across the disciplinary boundaries between social history and literary and sociological analysis.... The result is a subtle and multivalent study of human conduct, social position, and the ways in which early-modern subjects sought to fashioning their own identities-and were in turn fashioned by others- through the language of social exchange." -- Greg Walker, Professor of Early-Modern Literature and Culture, University of Leicester. "This book promises to be simultaneously a significant con- tribution to interdisciplinary scholarship-across the fields of history, literature, and the social sciences-and a work of abiding human interest." - Charles Phythian-Adams, Professor Emeritus of English Local History, University of Leicester.
