Manna – Bread from Heaven - Paweå‚ Rytel Andrianik - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Manna – Bread from Heaven - Paweå‚ Rytel Andrianik - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The author presents a new approach to the study of manna, which does not concentrate only on one particular representation of the bread from heaven (especially Ex 16). Additionally, he investigates the interconnections between Ps 78:23-25, Wis 16:20-13; 19:21 and Jn 6:22-59 and he explores the new ideas of each of these texts. He also strongly asserts that Hellenistic Judaism, represented by the Book of Wisdom, is not "a second-class Judaism". This fact is proved with the example of manna as the food of immortality, an idea not introduced by Christians in the Fourth Gospel, but already present in Wis 19:21.

Non-Western Reflection on Politics - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Non-Western Reflection on Politics - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Recent rise of the non-Western parts of the world makes the need for a genuine global dialogue more urgent than ever before. To take an effective part in it, the West needs to face a conceptual challenge. The Western understanding of the political world is based on such deeply ingrained concepts as power, politics, statecraft, cooperation, multilateralism, dependence, identity or human rights. The Westerners tend to wrongly assume that everyone else is bound to share these concepts. This book shows that the reality is different. Investigating African, Asian, Islamic and Latin American political thinking, the book introduces non-Western concepts of politics as well as non-Western readings of seemingly familiar Western concepts. By doing this, it points to the obstacles to the global dialogue as well as to opportunities which may be exploited.

Non-professional Interpreting and Translation in the Media - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Non-professional Interpreting and Translation in the Media - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Non-professional Interpreting and Translation (NPIT) is a recent discipline. Books and volumes on this subject that combine all the different fields are extremely uncommon and authoritative reference material is scarce and mostly scattered through disparate specialized journals. There are many areas and aspects of NPIT in the media that to date have been under researched or utterly neglected. The aim of this volume is therefore to fill an important gap in the academic market and to provide an overview of diverse aspects of non-professional interpreting and translation in the media. The volume consists of a collection of essays by eminent international scholars and researchers from the field of Translation and Interpreting Studies.

«Non-Monastic Buddhist» in Pali-Discourse - Sompornnuch Transrisook - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

«Non-Monastic Buddhist» in Pali-Discourse - Sompornnuch Transrisook - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The book intends to grasp the meaning of upāsaka / upāsikā or Buddhist laity in Dīgha- and Majjhima-nikāya of the Pāli canon. Considering the texts as oral literature, the author examines and interprets the structure and stock phrases constructing the narrative with a theory of religious experience. Upāsaka / upāsikā is hence seen as the non-monastic follower, who, having experienced the significance of dhamma and the superiority of the Buddha, has the trust in the goal and spiritual path that the Buddha has shown. In this connection, Buddhist community is the assembly of the followers, monastic and non-monastic alike, sharing the same common ground and following the spiritual path in pursuit of individual liberation, which in tandem contributes to perpetuation of the community.

Current Issues in Italian, Romance and Germanic Non-canonical Word Orders - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Current Issues in Italian, Romance and Germanic Non-canonical Word Orders - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This volume aims at offering an up-to-date survey on non-canonical word orders and their interplay with information structure and discourse organization. The contributions analyze different non-canonical syntactic structures (fronting, inversion, dislocations, and cleft constructions), focusing on Italian alone or on Italian in a contrastive perspective with one or more Romance (French, Romanian, Portuguese, Spanish) and/or Germanic (English and German) languages. The authors tackle the main issue of the volume from a variety of perspectives and by relying on different theoretical frameworks. At the same time, they all offer a fine-grained description of the structures analyzed on the basis of a solid empirical foundation.

Non-Performance and Remedies under International Contract Law Principles and Indian Contract Law - Lars Meyer - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Non-Performance and Remedies under International Contract Law Principles and Indian Contract Law - Lars Meyer - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The survey compares the rules on contractual non-performance and remedies under the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, the Principles of European Contract Law, and Indian statutory contract law (including the Indian Contract Act, 1872). Given that most Indian statutes were derived from English law and may therefore be viewed as «codified common law», this comparison may contribute to the question of whether, especially in view of contract law harmonisation in the EU, the civil-law and common-law traditions could be merged in a common code. Moreover, it may help identify legal differences that are relevant to doing business between India and Europe. The general conclusion of the survey is that the Principles and Indian statutory contract law share a close proximity especially because many of their provisions on non-performance and remedies appear to be derived from the same concepts and also provide for very similar consequences.

Exploring Linguistic Standards in Non-Dominant Varieties of Pluricentric Languages- Explorando estandares lingueisticos en variedades no dominantes de

This volume commemorates the 20 th anniversary of Michael Clyne’s seminal volume «Pluricentric languages. Differing norms in different countries» published in 1992. The main focus of this volume is the exploration of linguistic standards in non-dominant varieties and the discovery of the ways in which different language communities of non-dominant varieties reconcile their wish to express their national, social and personal identity via language with their desire to adhere to a common language. Another central focus is the way in which the norms of languages, and in particular those of non-dominant varieties of pluricentric languages, can be standardized or how given standards can be changed. The papers show that the state of standardization in pluricentric languages may differ strongly from language to language and also differ between varieties of the same language. El libro conmemora el vigésimo aniversario del influyente volumen publicado por Michael Clyne en 1992, «Pluricentric languages. Differing norms in different countries» . El objetivo principal consiste en «explorar estándares lingüísticos en variedades no dominantes» e indagar cómo las diferentes comunidades lingüísticas reconcilian la pretensión de expresar su propia identidad nacional, social y personal a través del lenguaje con su mismo deseo de adherencia a una lengua común. Otra cuestión central atiende a la manera en que las normas lingüísticas y, en particular, las normas de las variedades lingüísticas de lenguas pluricéntricas pueden convertirse en estándares o cómo los estándares establecidos pueden ser modificados. Los diversos artículos muestran que la situación y el grado de estandarización en las diversas lenguas pluricéntricas pueden diferir en gran manera entre las distintas lenguas y entre variedades diferentes de una misma lengua.

(Non)Human Bodies - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

(Non)Human Bodies - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This volume addresses its reader after Covid, a time when the distinction between “the fantastic” or “the virtual” and “the real” was blurred and what man would have thought to be a part of an American science fiction movie, became a real experience. A viral attack blocking life globally and a half online life experience thereafter... While each essay, in their specific contexts, explores “the nonhuman bodies”, it should be once again noted that this volume was inspired by all of the inhabitants of the World that are inevitably connected by geographical relation and physical interaction as well as through collective traumas incorporated into individual stories. The essays in this volume focus on the relationship between human and nonhuman bodies while offering in-depth analyses and various insights on their specific subjects, exploring transformed contexts, literary traditions, and genres, guided by rich theoretical engagements with posthumanism, ecocriticism, and digital humanities. As our writers’ essays speak to one another, the whole collection reflects on the notion of “connection” within the universe.

Second language acquisition in complex linguistic environments - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Second language acquisition in complex linguistic environments - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Russian-speaking immigrants residing in the Czech Republic or Germany are faced with the challenge of acquiring the Slavic (Czech) or Non-Slavic (German) language of the new environment. This process is influenced by their native language. The volume empirically analyses the acquisition of a related language compared to that of a non- or distantly related one and explores how the non-homogeneous language of the new environment – situation of diglossia in the Czech Republic, diaglossia in Germany – influences this acquisition. It additionally examines the impact of several sociolinguistic factors on L2 acquisition, especially age.

Toward Metaphysics - Jacek Migasinski - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Toward Metaphysics - Jacek Migasinski - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book presents and analyzes specific metaphysical tendencies that were revived within particular branches of French philosophy from the 1930s to the 1960s. Using the examples of the five philosophers active in this period (Louis Lavelle, Ferdinand Alquié, Jean Wahl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Lévinas), who did not belong to or did not form any school of thought, the author attempts to show that the specificity of this non-classical metaphysics could be located in its anti-naturalist, non-substantial, non-objectival, dialectic, critical, non-systematic and pluralist character. The analysis is preceded by a comprehensive introduction in which both theoretical and historical inspirations for the ideas presented in the book are explained. The summary provides possible influences that the described ideas could exercise over more recent currents in French philosophy.

The Prose Poem As a (Non)Genre - Agnieszka Kluba - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The Prose Poem As a (Non)Genre - Agnieszka Kluba - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Is the prose poem revolutionary and subversive, or marginal and lyrical? What makes a piece of prose a prose poem? Is its identity vague or precisely defined? Can every poem written in prose be considered a prose poem, a form influenced by the brilliant invention of French literature and by authors such as Baudelaire or Rimbaud? Agnieszka Kluba discusses the prose poem by providing a comprehensive summary of the existing approaches to it, but also by proposing an original conception of this form of writing. Kluba does not limit herself to considerations within literary genre theory and remains close to the poetic texts she considers. Following the intricate line of the prose poem, in Polish and European literature, she carefully assigns to prose poetry a place in Modern literary history.

Data Envelopment Analysis: From Normative to Descriptive Performance Evaluation - Nadia Vazquez Novoa - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Data Envelopment Analysis: From Normative to Descriptive Performance Evaluation - Nadia Vazquez Novoa - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

The question of modern performance evaluation has been extensively discussed in the literature, leading to a call for models including non-optimizing behaviors of decision makers and non-financial performance criteria. A promising management instrument is data envelopment analysis (DEA), which enables the aggregation of financial and non-financial indicators into a single measure. This work contributes to a better understanding of DEA from two perspectives: (i) it offers a normative solution to the zero-value weight problem and (ii) it provides the first experimental results on behavioral DEA based on an original taxonomy of cognitive biases related to performance evaluation. Behavioral DEA is a completely new research area which yields plenty of research opportunities.

Critique of Rationality - Meric Bilgic - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Critique of Rationality - Meric Bilgic - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book draws the limits of our thoughts and consciousness between the mind and mind-independent reality by using mathematical logic with the support of neurology. Diagnosing the limits between immanence and transcendence of the consciousness depends on dening some transcendental a priori categories in between as some basic axioms of the mind. Although this is a paradoxical attempt every philosopher falls into, the author non-paradoxically identies these non-intentional cognitive categories by using mathematical category theory. e author denes the intentional categories of consciousness by using mathematical set theory and obtains a selfrepresentational higher-order theory of consciousness (SHOT). Finally, he combines the intentional and non-intentional categories with an algebraic topography and obtains a model of the mind.

Foreign Assistance of Illiberal and Autocratic Regimes - Sevinc Ozturk - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book suggests a theoretical framework for the non-democratic and illiberal donors of foreign aid and tests the empirical support of this framework. It aims to examine the foreign aid motivation and preferences of non-democratic and illiberal countries. The study applies the quantitative methodology to understand why nondemocratic and illiberal regimes provide foreign aid and what affects their aid preferences. The findings show that the nature of the relationship between the government and the business elite influences both aid motivation and aid preferences in those countries.

Framing and Reframing the Ladies - Heike Andrea Fahrenberg - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Framing and Reframing the Ladies - Heike Andrea Fahrenberg - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Striving to leave fidelity-criticism behind, this comparative analysis treats Henry James’ Portrait of a Lady and its cinematic counterpart by Jane Campion as complementary versions of Isabel’s story. The graphic integration of stills functioning as visual evidence emphasizes the dialogic quality of this comparison based on non-essentialist feminist and post-structuralist principles. Mainly focusing on literary and visual strategies employed by both media to represent wo/men on page and screen, this analysis shows how those strategies result in a non-affirmative realism preventing both novel and movie from killing their ‘ladies’ into art.

Cameroon English - Eric A. Anchimbe - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses issues of authenticity, ecology and evolution in the indigenised varieties of English. It describes Cameroon English within its own natural internal and external ecology, and analyses it as a complete medium of communication that represents a complete sociohistorical community. The framework of filtration processes introduced in the book ushers the study of post-colonial Englishes into the broader linguistic debate about the status of non-native Englishes, making it possible to study them as fruits of given sociohistorical contexts rather than as simple side effects of improper education, faulty second language learning, or non-native deficits in English proficiency.

Lifelong Learning - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Lifelong Learning - - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

This anthology discusses the necessity of an expanded notion of lifelong learning. Expanded lifelong learning means providing consistent and inter-connected preconditions for learning in all life contexts, both individually and collectively. Expanding the concept of lifelong learning means to provide conducive preconditions for learning, organizing all activities for learning, implementing, and promoting learning broadly across institutions and organizations. Expanded lifelong learning is necessary to handle current global crises. Through the nine chapters, the authors explore lifelong learning and what expanding it means. Integrating formal, non-formal, and informal learning and discussing non-conventional ways of theorizing and organizing, opens new pathways for lifelong learning.

Trial as a Social Communication Occurrence - Karolina Gmerek - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

In the book, the author presented the results of several years of empirical studies conducted in Polish common courts. On the basis of an analysis of 250 observed and recorded trials, conducted as part of various court proceedings (criminal, civil, insurance, etc.), the author outlined a picture of the trial as a communication occurrence, in which persons with various levels of communication competence are involved in the interaction. Among other things, the book answers the questions: “How does the communication process between a judge and a non-professional participant proceed?”, “Implementation of which communication activities cause the greatest difficulty for non-professional participants?” and “How do judges try to counteract these difficulties?”.

Ceremonial Storytelling - Frank Usbeck - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Ceremonial Storytelling - Frank Usbeck - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

US society has controversially debated civil-military relationships and war trauma since the Vietnam War. Civic activists today promote Indigenous warrior traditions as role models for non-Native veteran reintegration and health care. They particularly stress the role of ritual and narrative for civil-military negotiations of war experience and for trauma therapy. Applying a cultural-comparative lens, this book reads non-Native soldiers’ and veterans’ life writing from post-9/11 wars as «ceremonial storytelling.» It analyzes activist academic texts, «milblogs» written in the war zone, as well as «homecoming scenarios.» Soldiers’ and veterans’ interactions with civilians constitute jointly constructed, narrative civic rituals that discuss the meaning of war experience and homecoming.
