Download or read book The Moment of Death in Early Modern Europe c 1450 1800 written by Benedikt Brunner and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both in our time and in the past, death was one of the most important aspects of anyone’s life. The early modern period saw drastic changes in rites of death, burials and commemoration. One particularly fruitful avenue of research is not to focus on death in general, but the moment of death specifically. This volume investigates this transitionary moment between life and death. In many cases, this was a death on a deathbed, but it also included the scaffold, battlefield, or death in the streets. Contributors: Friedrich J. Becher, Benedikt Brunner, Isabel Casteels, Martin Christ, Louise Deschryver, Irene Dingel, Michaël Green, Vanessa Harding, Sigrun Haude, Vera Henkelmann, Imke Lichterfeld, Erik Seeman, Elizabeth Tingle, and Hillard von Thiessen.
Download or read book Ethnography from the Mission Field written by Annekie Joubert and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 1169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ethnography from the Mission Field: The Hoffmann Collection of Cultural Knowledge Joubert et al. offer a translated and annotated edition of the 24 ethnographic articles by missionary Carl Hoffmann and his local interlocutors published between the years 1913 and 1958. The edition is introduced by a historic contextualisation using a cultural historical approach to analyse the contexts in which Hoffmann’s ethnographic texts were produced. Making use of historical material and Hoffmann’s own words from personal diaries and letters, the authors convincingly draw the attention to the discursive context in which the texts annotated in this book had been compiled. In a concluding chapter the book traces the captivating developments of the orthography of Northern Sotho through Hoffmann’s texts over almost half a century. Brill has made the documentary film “A Journey into the Life of a Mission-Ethnographer” which is interlinked with this book available online via its online channels. To access it please click here. The digital database of the “Hoffmann Collection of Cultural Knowledge” (HC-CK) can be accessed by clicking here.

Download or read book The Environment in the Age of the Internet written by Heike Graf and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we talk about the environment? Does this communication reveal and construct meaning? Is the environment expressed and foregrounded in the new landscape of digital media? The Environment in the Age of the Internet is an interdisciplinary collection that draws together research and answers from media and communication studies, social sciences, modern history, and folklore studies. Edited by Heike Graf, its focus is on the communicative approaches taken by different groups to ecological issues, shedding light on how these groups tell their distinctive stories of "the environment". This book draws on case studies from around the world and focuses on activists of radically different kinds: protestors against pulp mills in South America, resistance to mining in the Sámi region of Sweden, the struggles of indigenous peoples from the Arctic to the Amazon, gardening bloggers in northern Europe, and neo-Nazi environmentalists in Germany. Each case is examined in relation to its multifaceted media coverage, mainstream and digital, professional and amateur. Stories are told within a context; examining the "what" and "how" of these environmental stories demonstrates how contexts determine communication, and how communication raises and shapes awareness. These issues have never been more urgent, this work never more timely. The Environment in the Age of the Internet is essential reading for everyone interested in how humans relate to their environment in the digital age.

Download or read book Heathen Garb and Gear Ritual Dress Tools and Art for the Practice of Germanic Heathenry written by Ben Waggoner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Germanic tribes, Goths, and other Germanic-speaking tribes are renowned today in myth, legend, and popular culture. But how did they live? What did they wear? How did they worship? What did they eat? And how did their traditional ways of life reflect their spiritual beliefs? Heathen Garb and Gear takes you on a tour of the world that our forebears knew. More importantly, it shows you how their ways of dressing and living-from weaving woolen cloth and cooking food, to making music and taking steam baths-are reflected in the myths and traditions that have come down to us. Anyone who's ever wanted to wear Viking clothing, or serve authentic Viking feasts, will find plenty of practical tips here. But even if you're not interested in re-enacting the old ways, you'll find much vital information and inspiration for the practice of Heathenry as a living religious tradition.
Download or read book Host Nation Studies written by Simone Gutwerk and published by Julius Klinkhardt. This book was released on 2013 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary and middle schools for children of most US military personnel provide an exceptional curricular component: A subject called Host Nation Studies is integrated in the daily schedule, teaching American children the culture and language of their current host country. The subject is unique for its early implementation as soon as 1946 when the fi rst US schools opened in Germany. And still today, native teachers provide cultural and intercultural opportunities to US elementary students all over the world. This dissertation focuses on the subject's conception and organization and the intercultural endeavours of US schools in Germany in two ways: First, historical research based on bibliographic resources regarding the school's history looks at the development of the program 1946 to 1970. A second perspective is given by a questionnaire survey, which asks Host Nation and American teachers about the current language and culture program within US schools in Germany --
Download or read book Evangelien harmonien des Mittelalters written by August den Hollander and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Theology and Religion (STAR) - 9 Evangelienharmonien sind in Westeuropa zumindest vom sechsten Jahrhundert an nachweisbar, wurden aber im Hoch- und Spätmittelalter verstärkt tradiert, bearbeitet oder auch neu verfaßt. Diese Texte bieten zumeist Zusammenstellungen des Stoffes der vier neutestamentlichen Evangelien, die alle darin erzählten Inhalte in einenfortlaufenden Erzählzusammenhang bringen. Auf diese Weise geben sie dem Leser oder Hörer Gelegenheit, die ganze Fülle der Aussagen der Evangelisten in einer einzigen Darstellung zur Kenntnis zu nehmen, und nehmen den Anstoß weg, daß in dem einen Evangelium diese, im anderen jene Reihenfolge gewählt wird, daß im einen Evangelium diese Erzählung fehlt, im anderen jene. Leser oder Hörer können sich dadurch ganz auf Leben, Leiden und Auferweckung des Erlösers konzentrieren. Die Geschichte der Gattung der Evangelienharmonien ist bisher ebenso wenig erforscht worden wie ihre Rezeptionsweisen und ihre Funktionen in den wechselnden Kontexten dieser jahrhundertelangen Geschichte. Der vorliegende Sammelband will auf einige Aspekte der Geschichte von Evangelienharmonien im Mittelalter und auf ihre Einordnung in Kontexte aufmerksam machen. Neben Harmonien aller vier Evangelien werden auch eine Passionsharmonie und ein Evangelienkommentar vorgestellt, um auf diese Weise die verwandten Gattungen in den Blick zu bekommen.

Download or read book Children Young People and Borders written by Machteld Venken and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-11 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume increases knowledge about children and young people living in borderlands, passing through borders and (de)constructing borders, as well as highlights the potential of studying how children and young people imagine, act, cross, and inhabit symbolic and material borders. The study of borders and borderlands is growing extensively, but the experiences of children and young people in the turmoil of border changes and border crossings remain under-researched. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this edited volume has a twofold objective: to increase knowledge about children and young people living in borderlands, passing through borders and (de)constructing borders; and to highlight the potential of studying how children and young people imagine, act, cross, and inhabit symbolic and material borders, with the aim of advancing the theoretical and empirical debate within border studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Borderlands Studies.
Download or read book How Marriage Became One of the Sacraments written by Philip L. Reynolds and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 1083 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the contributions of the medieval church to western culture was the idea that marriage was one of the seven sacraments, which defined the role of married folk in the church. Although it had ancient roots, this new way of regarding marriage raised many problems, to which scholastic theologians applied all their ingenuity. By the late Middle Ages, the doctrine was fully established in Christian thought and practice but not yet as dogma. In the sixteenth century, with the entire Catholic teaching on marriage and celibacy and its associated law and jurisdiction under attack by the Protestant reformers, the Council of Trent defined the doctrine as a dogma of faith for the first time but made major changes to it. Rather than focusing on a particular aspect of intellectual and institutional developments, this book examines them in depth and in detail from their ancient precedents to the Council of Trent.
