Download or read book Life and Loyalty written by Klaas Dijkstra and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formula 'for the life of' is often found in votive inscriptions, cast in Aramaic and other languages, which originate from the Syrian-Mesopotamian desert and adjacent areas and which roughly date from the first three centuries A.D. They belong to objects like statues and altars that usually were erected in temples and other structures with a ritual or sacred function. The inscriptions establish a relationship between the dedicator and one or more beneficiaries, those persons for whose life the dedication was made. Since the social context evidently bears on both the meaning of the inscriptions as well as the status of the dedications, this volume deals with the nature of the relationships and the socio-religious function the dedications perform.

Download or read book Far Beyond the Field written by Makoto Ueda and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far Beyond the Field is a first-of-its-kind anthology of haiku by Japanese women, collecting translations of four hundred haiku written by twenty poets from the seventeenth century to the present. By arranging the poems chronologically, Makoto Ueda has created an overview of the way in which this enigmatic seventeen-syllable form has been used and experimented with during different eras. At the same time, the reader is admitted to the often marginalized world of female experience in Japan, revealing voices every bit as rich and colorful, and perhaps even more lyrical and erotic, than those found in male haiku. Listen, for instance, to Chiyojo, who worked in what has been long thought of as the dark age of haiku during the eighteenth century, but who composed exquisitely fine poems tracing the smallest workings of nature. Or Katsuro Nobuko, who wrote powerfully erotic poems when she was widowed after only two years of marriage. And here, too, is a voice from today, Mayuzumi Madoka, whose meditations on romantic love represent a fresh new approach to haiku.

Download or read book Critical Reflections and Politics on Advancing Women in the Academy written by Moeke-Pickering, Taima and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in the Academy are raising issues of pay parity, equal representation on committees, increased leadership positions, stories of resilience, and mentorship espousing changes at all levels including teaching, research, and administration. These strategies demand interrogation, and larger questions are being asked about the place of women empowerment worldviews in the dominant intellectual traditions of the Academy. Further, the trend to make changes requires an exploration of new transformational approaches that draw on critical theory to resist discrimination, sexism, and racism and support resistance and sustainable empowerment strategies. Critical Reflections and Politics on Advancing Women in the Academy is a critical scholarly publication that seeks to make the Academy responsive and inclusive for women advancement and sustainable empowerment strategies by broadening the understanding of why women in the Academy are overlooked in leadership positions, why there is a pay parity deficit, and what is being done to change the situation. Featuring a wide range of topics such as mentorship, curriculum design, and equality, this book is ideal for policymakers, academicians, deans, provosts, chancellors, administrators, researchers, and students.
Download or read book The First Two Companions written by Omayra Vélez and published by Omayra Velez. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is June Dunbar, and I am a photojournalist for SBN. I live in Livermore, California, and everyone knows they work with radiation in the labs around here. I was minding my own business at home when a shining box appeared on my kitchen table one night. Obviously, I thought it was radioactive. Mind you, this happened in the middle of the night. Anyway, I thought everything was contaminated and needed to be removed from my house. So, I grabbed the damn box and POW. I was blinded, but when I got my sight back, I was on another planet with two moons and blue trees with leaves the size of chairs. To top my shitimetter off, I got sucked inside the blue tree. You heard it right. The tree pulled me in, or my dog pushed me. I can’t remember. Yeah, a year later, I got out of the damn tree; I am blue and have magic. I meet these giants called Athany, and they tell me their land is about to be destroyed. They tell me I am the chosen one, whatever that means. I am supposed to be the leader of this fantastic group of Thirteen. I have no way to get back home. Now I am stuck like Chuck in this hell, where zombies collect taxes, and if people don’t pay their taxes, these zombies eat their kids. Now, I am on this quest from hell, and I need my meds. Hello, I am Kara Ter Kushtaneo. I am an Athany. My people were born judges, but we are cursed. I am now a murderer. The king tells us we are the King’s Legion, and we are in the Kingdom to serve him, but we murder people. I want to revel and be free, but our curse binds us to the emperor. My lover, Jon, says to do my job and not think about it, but I can’t kill any more men, women, or children. So, I took a vow of fealty to spare all children, and if I die, I die. I hope one day, our people can be free of our dark Lord and Emperor. I would do anything to free my people. “Two of the four are ready to take their place in the Assembly,” said the Blue Tree. “Yes, but the eight must be gathered fast. The magi are scattered, and some are in great danger,” said the lonely Red Tree. “Emperor Klastos Falestos will try to kill them all. He already destroyed almost all the dragons,” said the Father Black Spire. “He will try to kill them, but we chose wisely this time. This set of four will be mighty.” Amparo the Green replied as she walked through the Land in Between. “There is too much hate, envy, murder, and darkness. Do we have time before everything is destroyed?” asked the Black Spire. “I don’t know. We can only hope the Thirteen stops the devastation from coming," said the lonely Red Tree. The Assembly of Thirteen: The First Two Companions is the first book in an enthralling high fantasy series. If you like ensemble casts, intricately detailed plots, and worlds filled with rich magic and wise mages, then you’ll love Omayra Vélez’s page-turner. Author’s Note: This book was written by an award-winning author. It is a dark and epic fantasy written for adults. It is the first in a series and ends on a cliffhanger.
