Learning and Using Multiple Languages
This volume brings together the latest findings from research on multilingual language learning and use in multilingual communities. Suzanne Flynn, Håkan Ringbom and Larissa Aronin are some of the prestigious scholars who have contributed to this book. As argued by this last author in her chapter, although multilingualism has always existed, the important changes that research on this phenomenon has recently undergone, like that of adopting a multilingual perspective in its studies, should always be borne in mind. This volume considers the languages of multilingual communities, as well as the interaction among them. As such, the chapters adopt a multilingual approach that guides the analysi...
The Dangers of Ritual
Central to current understandings of medieval history is the concept of political ritual, encompassing events from coronations to funerals, entries into cities, civic games, banquets, hunting, acts of submission or commendation, and more. ''Ritual?'' asks Philippe Buc. In The Dangers of Ritual he boldly argues that the concept shouldn't be so central after all. Modern-day scholars, gently seduced by twentieth-century theories of ritual, often misinterpret medieval documents that ostensibly describe such events, in part because they fail to appreciate the intentions behind them. The book begins with four case studies whose arrangement--backward from texts on tenth-century kingship to fourth-c...
Kommunikation in sozialen Netzwerken via Memes
Durch mobile internetfähige Geräte ist das Web heute jederzeit und in jeder Situation abrufbar. Es ermöglicht eine Vernetzung zwischen Individuen und schafft einen semiotischen Raum, in dem jeder Textrezipient zum Textproduzenten werden kann. Neue multimodale Genres und Interaktionsmuster wie Internet-Memes entstehen. Während herkömmliche Memes oft aktuelle politische Ereignisse kommentieren oder gesellschaftliche Stereotype thematisieren, werden mit den multimodalen Artefakten im Kontext von Zeitschriften Verhaltensmuster der Gesellschaft illustriert. Solche Alltagsphänomene werden in konventionellen Internet-Memes rekontextualisiert und auf eigene Art und Weise, in beibehaltener erke...
Manipulating the Sun
This volume puts two biblical miracles - the Sun reversing its course in II Kings 20:8-11/Isaiah 38:8 (Horologium Ahaz) and the Sun standing still in Joshua 10:12 -, in the early modern period centre stage. We pay special attention to the development of related imagery, their role as anti-Copernican arguments (in text and image), their reception, their treatment in the mathematical sciences, and their various cultural layers, with a focus on the history of art and the history of science in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The material discussed spreads from rather prosaic mathematical reflections to highly appealing visual representations of the two miracles.
The Essays Or Counsels, Civil and Moral
'their excellence and their value consisted in being the observations of a strong mind operating upon life; and in consequence you find what you seldom find in other books.' Samuel Johnson Celebrated today as a writer and scientist, Francis Bacon was for the most part of his life occupied with the law and public affairs at a high level. Although personally devastating, his fall from public office in 1621 nonetheless served to liberate him for his own work and the last five years ofhis life saw an enormous output in the most varied fields. It is to this period that we owe the last and most popular work published in his lifetime, the Essays or Counsels, Civil and Moral (1625) Focusing on the e...
