Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who or what are constant companions? A family member, a colleague, or maybe a friend could be a constant in your life. Some say it is the shadow that goes with you everywhere. For me, it has been thoughts. Constant thoughts that crowd me and I play with them. They weave their own interesting web of feelings, emotions and my reactions. I use them to create my story. Psst… without disturbing them. For, when they flow as words on a blank sheet, it connects me with this world. Who knows what it creates, what it reflects, how it makes a difference, and where does it take one. It is a mystery within itself. Hmm… my constant silent companions…
Download or read book The Interlace Structure of the Third Part of the Prose Lancelot written by Frank Brandsma and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2010 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intricate structure and the many different narrative threads of the Prose Lancelot are here skilfully analysed, showing them to be a major new development in literary technique. Thematically and as a narrative technique, interlace, the complex weaving together of many different story-telling strands, comes to its full development in the intriguing conclusion of the Prose Lancelot. The Grail appearson the horizon and although Lancelot's love for Guenevere still makes him the best knight in the world, it becomes clear that this very love disqualifies him from the Grail Quest. Meanwhile, the adventures of a myriad Arthurian knights continue to be followed. This study explains how the interlace works and shows that it is the perfect vehicle for the relation of the events. It discusses the division of the narrative into threads, their interweaving, convergence and divergence, the gradual introduction of the Grail theme and its first climax (the begetting of Galahad), the distribution of information to the audience, the use of dramatic irony and emotions, and many other aspects of this major innovation in story-telling technique. Dr FRANK BRANDSMA is Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature (Middle Ages) in the Department of Modern Languages at Utrecht University.

Download or read book Transnational Migration and Home in Older Age written by Katie Walsh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the transformations in home lives arising in later life and resulting from global migrations. It provides insight into the ways in which contemporary demographic processes of aging and migration shape the meaning, experience and making of home for those in older age. Chapters explore how home is negotiated in relation to possibilities for return to the "homeland," family networks, aging and health, care cultures and belonging. The book deliberately crosses emerging sub-fields in transnationalism studies by offering case studies on aging labour migrants, retirement migrants, and return migrants, as well as older people affected by the movement of others including family members and migrant care workers. The diversity of people’s experiences of home in later life is fully explored and the impact of social class, gender, and nationality, as well as the corporeal dimensions of older age, are all in evidence.
Download or read book Alcohol Flows Across Cultures written by Waltraud Ernst and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book maps changing patterns of drinking. Emphasis is laid on the connected histories of different regions and populations across the globe regarding consumption patterns, government policies, economics and representations of alcohol and drinking. Its transnational perspective facilitates an understanding of the local and global factors that have had a bearing on alcohol consumption and legislation, especially on the emergence of particular styles of ‘drinking cultures’. The comparative approach helps to identify similarities, differences and crossovers between particular regions and pinpoint the parameters that shape alcohol consumption, policies, legal and illegal production, and popular perceptions. With a wide geographic range, the book explores plural drinking cultures within any one region, their association with specific social groups, and their continuities and changes in the wake of wider global, colonial and postcolonial economic, political and social constraints and exchanges.
Download or read book Paradox the Norm written by Jean Harris Anderson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are pressing beyond the range of human information at blazing speed, and in so doing, we are entering a realm were quite unprepared for. When this books essayist announces a celestial being from a different dominion has arrived to equip us with permission to eat of the fruit, allowing us to become all-knowledgeable, and to offer immortality, everyone is eager, of course. The extraterrestrial alien values the spirit nature as much as we value our flesh, and he prizes each, for he transcends knowledge of those entities, a character gushes. But we shall lose command of our individual freedoms if we forfeit our wits to another, because intelligence is more than gathering lots of data. Filtering information takes time and work to transform into wisdom. The race to control artificial intelligence has made each person a database for a search engine, and our species has mixed with machine. Weve become unknowingly programmed without an ethical compass while some in charge have questionable motives and are involved in moral turpitude. The result? As one character laments, We must break the very laws that make us civil.

Download or read book The Triadic Structure of the Mind written by Francesco Belfiore and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Triadic Structure of the Mind, Francesco Belfiore begins from the basic ontological conception of the structure and functioning of the “mind” or “spirit” as an evolving, conscious triad composed of intellect, sensitiveness, and power, each exerting a selfish or moral activity. Based on this concept, Belfiore has developed a coherent philosophical system, through which he offers fresh solutions in the fields of ontology, knowledge, language, aesthetic, ethics, politics, and law. The second edition of the book includes a more extensive treatment of the topics addressed in the first edition, the introduction of new concepts, and the inclusion of additional thinkers, whose views have been discussed and reinterpreted.
Download or read book Suffering and Sentiment written by Jason Throop and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-02-08 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suffering and Sentiment examines the cultural and personal experiences of chronic and acute pain sufferers in a richly described account of everyday beliefs, values, and practices on the island of Yap (Waqab), Federated States of Micronesia. C. Jason Throop provides a vivid sense of Yapese life as he explores the local systems of knowledge, morality, and practice that pertain to experiencing and expressing pain. In so doing, Throop investigates the ways in which sensory experiences like pain can be given meaningful coherence in the context of an individual’s culturally constituted existence. In addition to examining the extent to which local understandings of pain’s characteristics are personalized by individual sufferers, the book sheds important new light on how pain is implicated in the fashioning of particular Yapese understandings of ethical subjectivity and right action.
