Book excerpt: Monarch By: Caleb A. Falke For Jabin, life within the safety of Sotaria’s walls is all he can imagine—which is a shame because he won’t be seeing the inside of Sotaria for much longer. Wrongly convicted of stealing his own front porch, he’s banished, forced to survive in the harsh lands outside of the city. But, in order to do so, he has to rely on the help of a roguish Vastlander. Worse still, her methods of helping seem to be either based in superstition or attempts to drive him insane.

Download or read book Risus sacer sacrum risibile written by Katja Gvozdeva and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heiligkeit und Heiterkeit sind, so scheint es, strikt voneinander getrennt: Gehört das Heilige ganz dem Bereich des Statisch-Ernsthaften und Bedeutungsvollen an, so erscheint das Lachen als Ausdruck lauter Spontaneität und lustbetonter Subversion. Während die theoretischen Disziplinen - sowohl die Religionswissenschaft als auch die Lachtheorien - von der Möglichkeit des Zusammentreffens des Lachens mit dem religiösen Bewusstsein und kultischen Handlungen weitgehend absehen, liefern demgegenüber kulturelle Praktiken unzählige Beispiele ihrer Verzahnung. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen im kulturhistorischen Vergleich die vielfältigen Funktionsweisen des Lachens im Rahmen der performativen Prozesse, die das Heilige hervorbringen, erneuern und verändern. Die Einzelanalysen aus den Bereichen der Soziologie und Ethnologie, Religionswissenschaft und Philosophie, Geschichts-, Kunst- und Literaturwissenschaft, der Kunstgeschichte und Philosophie betrachten die Zusammenhänge zwischen Kult- und Lachpraktiken in einer großen Bandbreite von religiösen und 'religioiden' Phänomenen unterschiedlicher kultureller und historischer Provenienz. Sie machen deutlich, dass das Lachen in unterschiedlichen religiösen Kontexten - Mythen, Ritualen und mystischen Übungen - nicht als Eindringen des Profanen in den sakralen Rahmen, sondern als integraler Bestandteil sakraler Prozesse und kultischer Handlungen begriffen werden kann.

Download or read book Apuleius and Drama written by Regine May and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-12-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regine May discusses the use of drama as an intertext in the work of the 2nd century Latin author Apuleius, who wrote the only complete extant Latin novel, the Metamorphoses, in which a young man is turned into a donkey by magic. Apuleius uses drama, especially comedy, as a basic underlying texture, and invites his readers to use their knowledge of contemporary drama in interpreting the fate of his protagonist and the often comic or tragic situations in which he finds himself. May employs a close study of the Latin text and detailed comparison with the corpus of dramatic texts from antiquity, as well as discussion of stock features of ancient drama, especially of comedy, in order to explain some features of the novel which have so far baffled Apuleian scholarship, including the enigmatic ending. All Latin and Greek has been translated into English.

Download or read book Athens in Rome Rome in Germany written by Patrick Lucky Hadley and published by Narr Francke Attempto Verlag. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bawdy comedies of Aristophanes gradually began to attract more attention among learned circles in the later 16th century. This trend culminated in 1586, when Nicodemus Frischlin produced new and strikingly original Latin versions of five plays by Aristophanes. With this work Frischlin completely recast the place of Aristophanes in the Republic of Letters, forcing readers to approach him as a dramatist of tremendous contemporary relevance. Frischlin was able to rehabilitate Aristophanes by calling attention both to the practical advice his plays could give on the administration of a res publica, and to the light they could shed on serious problems concerning rhetorical education and political discourse within the troubled Holy Roman Empire under Rudolf II. This work aims to restore Frischlin's translations to their rightful place of honor within the broader reception tradition of Aristophanes and Old Comedy, while analyzing them within the context of Frischlin's own longstanding campaigns for educational and political reform.

Download or read book Mountains Divide Us A Small Town Western Age Gap Romance written by Greta Rose West and published by Punk Rose Press. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fans of Melissa Foster and Claire Kingsley will enjoy this steamy age-gap romance between a weathered sheriff's deputy and a feisty librarian from internationally bestselling small-town Western romance author, Greta Rose West... Sheriff’s Deputy Frank Sims has had his eye on the spunky new librarian since she stepped foot in the stacks, but the grump’s not much of a talker, just ask him—he won’t answer. Plus, there’s a glaring age gap between them, and everybody in their small town seems to have an opinion about it, but he couldn’t care less about gossip. Until it’s his name on Samantha’s lips. Sam Russo loves the rural ranch town she spent summers in as a kid, and when she moves there to take a job at the library, it feels like home. Now, while she can admire the good deputy’s boulder-like shoulders, thick, tousled gray hair, and the secret smile he gives her that’s as warm as sunshine on a cold spring day, she’s trying to keep her distance. What would an older man like Frank Sims want with her anyway? Frank dreams of something Sam can’t give him, and that sets them apart more than any age difference. A compromise could solve the problem—if they can keep their hands off each other long enough to see it. The third book in the Wisper Dreams series is a warm-hearted small-town Western romance about the sexiness of give and take and learning to accept the love and family you’ve been dreaming about when it shows up in the most unlikely of places.
