Download or read book Fetish Recognition Revolution written by James T. Siegel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concerns the role of language in the Indonesian revolution. James Siegel, an anthropologist with long experience in various parts of that country, traces the beginnings of the Indonesian revolution, which occurred from 1945 through 1949 and which ended Dutch colonial rule, to the last part of the nineteenth century. At that time, the peoples of the Dutch East Indies began to translate literature from most places in the world. Siegel discovers in that moment a force within communication more important than the specific messages it conveyed. The subsequent containment of this linguistic force he calls the "fetish of modernity," which, like other fetishes, was thought to be able to compel events. Here, the event is the recognition of the bearer of the fetish as a person of the modern world. The taming of this force in Indonesian nationalism and the continuation of its wild form in the revolution are the major subjects of the book. Its material is literature from Indonesian and Dutch as well as first-person accounts of the revolution.

For some years she lived and breathed the international music scene quickly gaining a cult following amongst viewers and becoming a darling of the European press. As she reached the pinnacle of her success she realised that, despite having all she could have wished for, she was never truly satisfied. Something very important was missing. A fateful meeting with Pakistani cricket hero Imran Khan changed her life. He invited her to his country where she encountered a completely different world to the one she knew, the religion and culture of Islam. A few years later (in 1995), after travelling more widely in the Islamic world and knowing that she had discovered her spiritual path, she embraced Islam in a London mosque. In this private memoir Kristiane Backer tells the story of her conversion and explains how faith, despite the many challenges shefaced as she turned her life upside down, at last gave her inner peace and the meaning she had sought.

Book excerpt: Novie swore she’d never do two things in her lifetime: head up the family drug trade, or be some man’s baby momma. Unfortunately, when she meets Genesis Kane, things don’t go quite as she’d planned. Genesis is an attorney with a reputation for being a “piranha in pinstripes,” both in and out of the courtroom. With Novie’s mother bugging her to help the family or disappear, and her father on a mission to keep reaping land, cars, and more side chicks no matter the cost, Novie is feeling pressured. She makes the decision to dive into even crazier waters, aka the piranha’s bed. When Novie gets pregnant, she discovers too late that Genesis is not the man she thought he was. With nowhere to go but back home to the spoiled and petty mother she despises, the last thing she expects from her well-off ex is his blatant refusal to claim or take care of his child. As her list of “nevers” all but disappears right along with her career plans, she makes one vow: Genesis Kane will pay.

Download or read book The Usage based Study of Language Learning and Multilingualism written by Lourdes Ortega and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Usage-based linguistics, which is currently very popular, bases its understanding of language on two key points: Languages are cognitive-social constructs (i.e., learned vs genetically endowed), and, in order for communication and meaning to happen, speakers must find a way to meet/understand each other, overcoming various differences (lexicon, social, register, etc.) to arrive there. In this book, high-level contributors combine research from various usage-based perspectives to explore these questions: How do proficient speakers accomplish 'mental contact' or communication through the available semiotic linguistic resources they share with other members of their discourse community? How do young children learn to accomplish this? And how do speakers of multiple languages learn to accomplish this across languages?
