Download or read book Aëtiana written by Jaap Mansfeld and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-10-23 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient doxography, particularly as distilled in the work on problems of physics by Aëtius, is a vital source for our knowledge of early Greek philosophy up to the first century BCE. But its purpose and method, and also its wider intellectual context, are by no means easy to understand. The present volume contains 19 essays written between 1989 and 2009 in which the authors grapple with various aspects of the doxographical tradition and its main representatives. The essays examine the origins of the doxographical method in the work of Aristotle and Theophrastus and also provide valuable insights into the works of other authors such as Epicurus, Chrysippus, Lucretius, Cicero, Philo of Alexandria and Seneca. The collection can be read as a companion collection to the two earlier volumes of Aëtiana published by the two authors in this series (1997, 2009).

Download or read book Unmaking Sex written by Anne E. Linton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, words like 'intersex' and 'trans' had not yet been invented to describe individuals whose bodies, or senses of self, conflicted with binary sex. But that does not mean that such people did not exist. In nineteenth-century France, case studies filled medical journals, high-profile trials captured headlines, and doctors staked their reputations on sex determinations only to have them later reversed by colleagues. While medical experts fought over what separated a man from a woman, novelists began to explore debates about binary sex and describe the experiences of gender-ambiguous characters. Anne Linton discusses over 200 newly-uncovered case studies while offering fresh readings of literature by several famous writers of the period, as well as long-overlooked popular fiction. This landmark contribution to the history of sexuality is the first book to examine intersex in both medicine and literature, sensitively relating historical 'hermaphrodism' to contemporary intersex activism and scholarship.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Love by : Maxime Foerster
Download or read book The Politics of Love written by Maxime Foerster and published by University of New Hampshire Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would love be if heterosexual couples were no longer assigned gender and sexual norms? Maxime Foerster examines the Òheterosexual troubleÓ between men and women in nineteenth-century French Romantic and Decadent literature. Key works by authors ranging from George Sand to Charles Baudelaire persistently demonstrate that heterosexuality did not work: these authors, and many others, investigated the struggle that men and women alike waged against patriarchal norms. Whereas Romantic fiction dedicated itself to the reinvention of love, Decadence promoted sexual and gender deviance. In expertly evaluating the discord afflicting fictional heterosexual couples, male and female dandies, and doctors and their female patients, Foerster shows the crucial role that literature played in the fashioning of alternative identities. A concluding look at ProustÕs Ë la recherche du temps perdu traces the legacy of heterosexual trouble in the twentieth century.
Book Synopsis Connecting Histories by : Bonnie Thomas
Download or read book Connecting Histories written by Bonnie Thomas and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Francophone Caribbean boasts a trove of literary gems. Distinguished by innovative, elegant writing and thought-provoking questions of history and identity, this exciting body of work demands scholarly attention. Its authors treat the traumatic legacies of shared and personal histories pervading Caribbean experience in striking ways, delineating a path towards reconciliation and healing. The creation of diverse personal narratives—encompassing autobiography, autofiction (heavily autobiographical fiction), travel writing, and reflective essay—remains characteristic of many Caribbean writers and offers poignant illustrations of the complex interchange between shared and personal pasts and how they affect individual lives. Through their historically informed autobiography, the authors in this study—Maryse Condé, Gisèle Pineau, Patrick Chamoiseau, Edwidge Danticat, and Dany Laferrière—offer compelling insights into confronting, coming to terms with, and reconciling their past. The employment of personal narratives as the vehicle to carry out this investigation points to a tension evident in these writers’ reflections, which constantly move between the collective and the personal. As an inescapably complex network, their past extends beyond the notion of a single, private life. These contemporary authors from Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti intertwine their personal memories with reflections on the histories of their homelands and on the European and North American countries they adopt through choice or necessity. They reveal a multitude of deep connections that illuminate distinct Francophone Caribbean experiences.
Book Synopsis The Bell of the World by : Gregory Day
Download or read book The Bell of the World written by Gregory Day and published by Transit Lounge . This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a troubled Sarah Hutchinson returns to Australia from boarding school in England and time spent in Europe, she is sent to live with her eccentric Uncle Ferny on the family property, Ngangahook. With the sound of the ocean surrounding everything they do on the farm, Sarah and her uncle form an inspired bond hosting visiting field naturalists and holding soirees in which Sarah performs on a piano whose sound she has altered with items and objects from the bush and shore. As Sarah’s world is nourished by music and poetry, Ferny’s life is marked by Such is Life, a book he has read and reread, so much so that the volume is falling apart. Its saviour is Jones the Bookbinder of Moolap, who performs a miraculous act. To shock and surprise, Jones interleaves Ferny’s volume with a book he bought from an American sailor, a once obscure tale of whales and the sea. In art as in life nature seems supreme. Ngangahook and its environs are threatened, however, when members of the community ask the Hutchinsons to help ‘make a savage landscape sacred’ by financing the installation of a town bell. The fearless musician and her idealistic uncle refuse to buckle to local pressures, mounting their own defence of ‘the bell of the world’. Gregory Day’s new novel embodies a cultural reckoning in a breathtakingly beautiful and lyrical way. The Bell of the World is both a song to the natural wonders that are not yet gone and a luminous prehistory of contemporary climate change and its connection to colonialism. It is a book immersed in the early to mid-twentieth century but written very much for the hearts of the future. ‘The Bell of the World is regionalist and universal, historical and timeless, beautiful and brutal. It is an urgent call for us not to speak but to listen, so that we might find our place, both here in Australia and on the Earth.’ – Maria Takolander

Book Synopsis Communication et interculturalité : Cultures et interactions interpersonnelles by : FRAME Alexander
Download or read book Communication et interculturalité : Cultures et interactions interpersonnelles written by FRAME Alexander and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sous l’influence de la mondialisation, les contacts entre cultures et l’hybridation culturelle ne cessent de croître, projetant l’interculturalité au centre de l’espace public. Alors que certaines approches exclusivement focalisées sur les différences culturelles décrivent comment se comporter auprès de groupes étrangers, Communication et interculturalité analyse la manière dont les individus s’adaptent en tenant compte des différentes cultures et identités (professionnelles, organisationnelles, ethniques, régionales, familiales, etc...) qui constituent des repères sémiotiques et symboliques pouvant être mis au service du sens. Il explore ainsi la relation entre cultures, identités et communication interpersonnelle pour comprendre les dynamiques de construction de sens qui émergent dans une interaction réelle. Destiné à un public scientifique mais également à toute personne qui s’interroge sur les relations entre cultures et communication, cet ouvrage développe une approche sémiopragmatique novatrice de la communication interculturelle, inscrite dans le champ naissant de la culture-interaction.
Download or read book George Herbert written by Joseph Summers and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Herbert has for centuries been admired by the religious for his piety and by lovers of poetry for his language and his wit. In the present volume, Professor Summers seeks to abolish this dualism of approach: he is concerned throughout to demonstrate Herbert’s religion as it is expressed in his poems, and to interpret the poems in the light of his religion, for they are a “picture” of meticulously observed spiritual experience. He gives us a scholarly, lucid, and integrated study of a much-loved poet, who was at once a good man, a profound Christian thinker, and a most daring experimentalist in the craft of verse. Professor Summers charts the many currents and cross-currents of early seventeenth century religious thought that affected Herbert, traces the stages of the poet’s life, and then proceeds to a thorough examination of the form and content of his work. There are interesting chapters on his metrical “counterpoint,” his dramatic-colloquial style, and the influence of music upon his poetry. This is not only an authoritative study of the poet himself but a notable contribution to the problem, so keenly discussed today, of religious belief in relation to poetry.

Book Synopsis La mesure de l’être by : Sylvain Roudaut
Download or read book La mesure de l’être written by Sylvain Roudaut and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to analyze the problem of the intensity of forms in the late Middle Ages and to show how this debate eventually gave rise to a new metaphysical project in the 14th century: the project of quantifying the different types of perfections existing in the universe – that is the project of “measuring being”. Cet ouvrage se propose d’analyser l’histoire du débat relatif à l’intensité des formes au Moyen Âge, et de retracer la manière dont il conduisit au XIVe siècle à l’émergence d’un projet métaphysique nouveau : celui de quantifier les perfections contenues dans l’univers et, ainsi, de “mesurer l’être”.
