James Joyce's Ulysses
This book contains eighteen original essays by leading Joyce scholars on the eighteen separate chapters of Ulysses. It attempts to explore the richness of Joyce's extraordinary novel more fully than could be done by any single scholar. Joyce's habit of using, when writing each chapter in Ulysses, a particular style, tone, point of view, and narrative structure gives each contributor a special set of problems with which to engage, problems which coincide in every case with certain of his special interests. The essays in this volume complement and illuminate one another to provide the most comprehensive account yet published of Joyce's many-sided masterpiece.
The Art of Acting in Antiquity
Provides greater insight into the dramatic art of antiquity by analysing three major groups of iconographical material in context with the written sources. As a theatre historian, the author's object was to discuss some fundamental scenic questions, from the viewpoint of theatre history, in an attempt to shed fresh light on performance tradition in ancient drama.
Die äthiopische Chrysostomos-Anaphora
Diese Arbeit versteht sich als Beitrag zur Bereitstellung abgesicherter Texte der athiopischen Liturgien. Drei Hauptteile machen den Inhalt der Untersuchung aus: Den ersten Teil bildet eine Einleitung zur athiopisch-orthodoxen Liturgiegeschichte im Allgemeinen und die Entstehungsgeschichte der Chrysostomos-Anaphora im Besonderen. Ihre wichtigsten literarischen Quellen werden aufgrund ausgewahlter Beispiele vorgestellt. Die dogmatischen Aussagen sowie die philologischen und literarischen Befunde erlauben eine zeitliche Einordnung ins 15. Jahrhundert. Der zweite Teil bietet die textkritische Edition der Anaphora. Die textkritische Arbeit erfolgte auf der Basis von 18 Handschriftenzeugen. Die Ubersetzung bildet den dritten Teil. Die Anmerkungen enthalten Hinweise auf andere Anaphoren und Bibelstellen.
Johannes Chrysostomos und die Christianisierung der Polis
Konnen Christen in der antiken Polis gemass ihrem Glauben leben? Dieser Frage stellten sich die Kirchenvater immer wieder. Eine besonders prominente Stimme in dieser Diskussion war die des Johannes Chrysostomos (ca. 349-407), der in zwei der bedeutendsten Metropolen seiner Zeit, in Antiochia und Konstantinopel, wirkte. Johannes zahlt zu den scharfsten Kritikern des urbanen Lebens in der Spatantike, vor allem der Theaterdarbietungen und Vergnugungen. Gleichzeitig musste er seinen Gemeinden Moglichkeiten aufzeigen, wie Christen den reinen Glauben in der Stadt bewahren und nach aussen demonstrieren konnten. Jan R. Stenger untersucht das Bild des stadtischen Raumes, das der Kirchenvater dabei entwarf, und die rhetorischen Strategien, mit denen er die Christianisierung und Humanisierung der klassischen Polis zu erreichen suchte. Er zeigt, dass die Stadt eine der zentralen Kategorien in Johannes' Theologie und Ansatzpunkt fur die Verwirklichung einer christlichen Gesellschaft ist.
Churches and the Holocaust
A study of Christian clerics who have been declared "Righteous among the Nations" by Yad Vashem; the number at present is close to 600. Examines activities of rescuers country by country, e.g. Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, other countries of Eastern Europe, and Italy. Aid given to persecuted Jews included protests against official antisemitism, intervention with authorities, sermons calling on congregations to help Jews, providing Jews with Christian identity papers, and hiding Jews. Stresses that the Churches did not abandon their anti-Judaic doctrines during the Holocaust, and many of the rescuers were known as antisemites before the war. Some of the clerics approved t...
Network-on-Chip Architectures
[2]. The Cell Processor from Sony, Toshiba and IBM (STI) [3], and the Sun UltraSPARC T1 (formerly codenamed Niagara) [4] signal the growing popularity of such systems. Furthermore, Intel’s very recently announced 80-core TeraFLOP chip [5] exemplifies the irreversible march toward many-core systems with tens or even hundreds of processing elements. 1.2 The Dawn of the Communication-Centric Revolution The multi-core thrust has ushered the gradual displacement of the computati- centric design model by a more communication-centric approach [6]. The large, sophisticated monolithic modules are giving way to several smaller, simpler p- cessing elements working in tandem. This trend has led to a s...
