Adam ze Świętego Wiktora „Sekwencje”
Wydawnictwo niniejsze uprzystępnia polskiemu czytelnikowi dziedzictwo Adama ze Świętego Wiktora (1 poł. XII w.), genialnego teologa, poety i muzyka, autora w literaturze polskiej dotąd właściwie nieobecnego. Dziedzictwo to stanowi – jak się obecnie uważa, choć zagadnienie wciąż jest dyskutowane – pięćdziesiąt osiem sekwencji na różne dni roku liturgicznego. Warto podkreślić, iż utwory skomponowane przez Adama pochodzą z okresu, kiedy gatunek sekwencji przeżywał swój szczytowy rozwój (stulecie XII). Zasadniczą część książki wypełniają zatem teksty Adamowych sekwencji: umieszczono tutaj równolegle dwie wersje tekstowe tych utworów, oryginalną łacińską...
Miracles
From a chicken nugget shaped like Jesus, to Mohammad splitting the moon in two, to a Japanese doll whose hair grows, Yujin Nagasawa considers reported miracles in ancient scriptures and modern day life, and uses cutting-edge scientific research on belief formation to address some of our most fundamental questions concerning miracles.
A Relevance-Theoretic Approach to Decision-Making in Subtitling
This book aims to investigate the process of decision-making in subtitling of feature films and entertainment series. The author uses Relevance Theory (Sperber and Wilson,1986) to argue that the technical, linguistic and translational constraints at work in subtitling result in a curtailed target text, and illustrates this argument by invoking examples drawn from the English-Polish subtitles of films and television series available through the subscription service Netflix. After introducing the current state of research on audiovisual translation within and outside the framework of translation studies, he presents the core concepts underpinning Relevance Theory and explains how it can be used to construct a model of the process of subtitling. This book will be of interest to students and scholars working in the fields of translation studies, audiovisual translation studies, and communication studies.
Iron John
In this deeply learned book, poet and translator Robert Bly offers nothing less than a new vision of what it is to be a man.Bly's vision is based on his ongoing work with men and reflections on his own life. He addresses the devastating effects of remote fathers and mourns the disappearance of male initiation rites in our culture. Finding rich meaning in ancient stories and legends, Bly uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John," in which the narrator, or "Wild Man," guides a young man through eight stages of male growth, to remind us of archetypes long forgotten-images of vigorous masculinity, both protective and emotionally centered.Simultaneously poetic and down-to-earth, combining the grandeur of myth with the practical and often painful lessons of our own histories, Iron John is a rare work that will continue to guide and inspire men-and women-for years to come.
The Multi-Sensory Image from Antiquity to the Renaissance
This volume responds to calls in visual and material cultural studies to move beyond the visual and to explore the multi-sensory impact of the image, across a wide range of cultural and historical contexts. What does it mean to practise art history after the material and sensory turns? What is an image, if not a purely visual phenomenon, and how does it prompt non-visual sensory experiences? The multi-sensoriality of the image was a less challenging concept before the ocularcentric modern age, and so this volume brings together a global array of scholars from multiple disciplines to ask these questions of imagery in premodern or non-western contexts, ranging from Minoan palace frescoes, to R...
