Food & Faith in Christian Culture
This anthology follows the intersection of food and faith from the fourteenth to the twenty-first century, charting the complex relationship among religious eating habits and politics, culture, and social structure.
Table Talk
This volume is comprised of a selection of revised and expanded papers presented at “Table Talk: Perspectives on Food in Medieval Italian Literature,” a panel held at the 40th annual convention of the Northeast Modern Langauge Association (Boston, February 26–March 1, 2009). Taken together, these essays explore the multifaceted role of food within medieval Italian culture through a variety of literary genres, from the poetry and prose of Dante and Boccaccio to the medical and religious writings of Michele Savonarola and Catherine of Siena. By examining the complexity of food consumption and distribution in the late medieval cultural imagination, the authors seek to advance the recent m...
Globalism in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age
Although it is fashionable among modernists to claim that globalism emerged only since ca. 1800, the opposite can well be documented through careful comparative and transdisciplinary studies, as this volume demonstrates, offering a wide range of innovative perspectives on often neglected literary, philosophical, historical, or medical documents. Texts, images, ideas, knowledge, and objects migrated throughout the world already in the pre-modern world, even if the quantitative level compared to the modern world might have been different. In fact, by means of translations and trade, for instance, global connections were established and maintained over the centuries. Archetypal motifs developed...
Advanced Intelligent Computing Theories and Applications: With Aspects of Artificial Intelligence
The International Conference on Intelligent Computing (ICIC) was formed to provide an annual forum dedicated to the emerging and challenging topics in artificial intel- gence, machine learning, pattern recognition, image processing, bioinformatics, and computational biology. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to share ideas, problems, and solutions related to the m- tifaceted aspects of intelligent computing. ICIC 2010, held in Changsha, China, August 18–21, 2010, constituted the 6th - ternational Conference on Intelligent Computing. It built upon the success of ICIC 2009, ICIC 2008, ICIC 2007, ICIC 2006, and ICIC 2005, that were held in...

Karl Barth and the Resurrection of the Flesh
Early Christian writers preferred to speak of the coming resurrection in the most bodily way possible: the resurrection of the flesh. Twentieth-century theologian Karl Barth took the same avenue, daring to speak of humans' eternal life in rather striking corporeal terms. In this study, Nathan Hitchcock pulls together Barth's doctrine of the resurrection of the flesh, anticipating what the great thinker might have said more systematically in volume V of his Church Dogmatics. Provocatively, Hitchcock goes on to argue that Barth's description of the resurrection--as eternalization, as manifestation, as incorporation--bears much in common with some unlikely programs and, contrary to its intention, jeopardizes the very contours of human life it hopes to preserve. In addition to contributing to Barth studies, this book offers a sober warning to theologians pursuing eschatology through notions of participation.
Light-Emitting Diodes and Photodetectors
This book provides a detailed overview of the most recent advances in the fascinating world of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and photodetectors (PDs). Chapters in Section 1 discuss the different types and designs of LEDs/OLEDs and their use in light output, color rendering, and more. Chapters in Section 2 examine innovative structures, emerging materials, and physical effects of PDs. This book is a useful resource for students and scientists working in the field of photonics and advanced technologies.
Alterity and Identity in Italian Literature
In our modern era of hyperconnectivity, the intricacies of our interpersonal relationships wield a profound influence on our sense of self. Throughout history, Italian literature has served as a rich tapestry reflecting these dynamics, offering poignant glimpses into the interplay of identity, belonging, and the concept of the Other. Alterity and Identity in Italian Literature: Encountering the Other from Dante to the Present embarks on a journey spanning from the Middle Ages to contemporary times, traversing the diverse landscapes of Italian literary tradition. Through a nuanced diachronic lens, this volume explores how Italian authors across centuries have grappled with encounters with the...
The den of wolves
Consigliato ad un pubblico 16+ My story is set in the 1950s and has two protagonists: the first is a mafia grandfather who, after serving his sentence, finds his kingdom occupied by men without honour. The second is his sharp thirteen-year-old grandson, Vito, who eagerly awaits meeting him. Written in the first person, I’ve tried to convey “Sicilianity,” describing it with meticulous attention in specific contexts, situations, and ways of being that in this land are born and die in the blink of an eye. Page by page, I will dive into the customs of common folk while also introducing you to the persona of the “mafioso.” I will depict cruelty through the exaltation of gestures, show y...
