A Critical Cognitive Analysis of Metaphors in Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s Political Speeches
Authors: Wiredu Sandra Addo
Published: May 2023

This thesis analyzes the use of various types of metaphors in a self-built corpus of political speeches delivered by the first president of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, on his fight for Independence for Ghana and the whole of Africa. It aims to uncover how Dr. Nkrumah used rhetoric as a weapon to achieve his political aims and ideologies. In order to identify the metaphorical expressions, I used the Metaphor Identification Procedure developed by scholars at the VU University Amsterdam (abbreviated as MIPVU), which is a systematic and transparent procedure for identifying linguistic metaphors. By adopting MIPVU, lexical units of the sentences were examined, and then the contextual meaning of the unit was established to determine the more basic meaning. If the contextual meaning is contrasted with the basic meaning but can be understood in comparison with it, then the unit will be marked as a metaphor. A total sum of forty-three metaphorical expressions was identified in my self-built corpus. After the metaphors were identified, I followed the procedures of Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) to analyze the use of metaphors to reveal the underlying ideologies and rhetorical functions. It is found that Nkrumah frequently used the journey, war and religious metaphors to convey the intended message and achieve his political objectives. These metaphors can serve a series of functions, such as attracting attention to establish trust, providing an explanation through framing, expressing empathy, emotion or motivation, fulfilling aesthetic purpose as well as creating a political myth. More generally, metaphors as a powerful tool help make Nkrumah’s political speeches more convincing.

The study examined the perception of cooperative rice farmers on loan repayment in Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria. Interview schedule was employed in obtaining information from 138 cooperative rice farmers randomly selected from twenty-three rice cooperative groups. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The result shows that the mean age of the respondents was 41 years and household size of 7 persons, majority (70.3%) were males, married (84.1%), with average rice farming experience 25 years. Also majority (98.6%) of the respondents have high perception on loan repayment. Loans were used for buying planting materials (98.6%), paying of laborers (92.8) and managing of farm activities (91.3) among others. Preferred timing of loan repayment are fortnightly (94.9%) and weekly (65.2%). The constraints timely repayment of loan were diversion of funds to non-farm ventures ( = 2.18), late disbursement of loan ( = 2.02) high interest rate ( = 1.99), and lack of government support ( = 1.96). Correlation result shows that the age of the respondents (r=0.688, p<0.027), household size (r=0.727, p<0.021), educational level (r=0.923, p<0.014), and years of farming experience (r=0.661, p< 0.036) showed a positive significant relationship with perception of loan repayment. The study established that respondents have high perception for the loan repayment. Socio-economic variables also contributed to the loan repayment. It was recommended that rice farmers should have access to soft loan since they have high repayment, this would help to expand rice farming and boost production as well as constant capacity building training on positive perception on loan repayment

Deep learning applications in overbreak estimation and prediction for tunnels using point cloud data
Authors: Alvarez Jorge , Hormazabal Esteban
Published: May 2023

"An overbreak during the construction of underground mining tunnels is a common geotechnical and operational problem, which is caused by a combination of geological, geotechnical, structural and operational factors, in which partial or reduced information is available, thus conditioning tunnel stability and consequently the safety of personnel during construction. Additionally, studying an overbreak during early stages allows to validate assumptions applied during engineering stages. Throughout history, different methods have been proposed for the overbreak estimation, these ranging from an empirical, analytical (including numerical modelling), observational or even through the application of machine learning. This work proposes a different approach to most of the studies carried out, which usually consider an average or expected value of overbreak. On this occasion, Deep Learning architectures are used to characterize and predict the complete geometry of the tunnel based off of a training carried out using point clouds of the sectors already excavated. The results obtained show that it is possible to use autoencoder-type architectures to carry out the characterization and prediction of the tunnel’s geometries from point clouds of previously excavated sectors, which has a relevant value for back analysis and potentially predictive analysis, which would in turn impact tunnel stability and/or safety in the different operation cycles during the construction of underground mining galleries and/or tunnels and civil works’ projects and operations."

MENAKAR PIDANA KERJA SOSIAL SEBAGAI PARADIGMA BARU KONSEP PEMIDANAAN PERKARA KORUPSI BERBASIS DETERMINISME CULTURAL
Authors: Tri Setiawan Wiranto , Kurnianingsih Marisa
Published: May 2023

Korupsi merupakan pelanggaran terhadap hak-hak sosial, ekonomi dan politik masyarakat luas. Selain lingkungan yang masih belum memiliki kesadaran hukum yang baik, tipologi korupsi dianggap sebagai kejahatan yang memiliki level sosial tinggi menyebabkan para pelaku tidak merasa jera meskipun telah diancam dengan pidana penjara berat. Dalam pandangan determinisme kultural, lingkungan menjadi salah satu hal yang berperan besar sehingga perlu diperhatikan. Pidana kerja sosial menjadi salah satu alternatif konsep pemidanaan yang bisa menempatkan pelaku korupsi layaknya pelaku street crime dan membuat pelaku menyatu dengan masyrakat. Implikasinya, status pelaku yang selama ini tergolong tinggi dalam status sosial akan tergerus serta dengan pidana kerja sosial dapat menciptakan nilai-nilai moral yang baik bagi pelaku maupun masyrakat. Berdasarkan pemikiran tersebut maka penulis melakukan penelitian ini. adapaun metode yang digunakan ialah yuridis-normatif. Pendekatan yang digunakan ialah pendekatan perundang-undangan, pendekatan perbandingan atau comparative approach serta pendekatan konseptual

This chapter considers film history through the distinct ocular perspective of 3D cinema. Its principal case studies are Jean-Luc Godard's 3D feature film Goodbye to Language (Adieu au langage, 2014) and its preceding 3D short The Three Disasters (Les trois désastres, 2013), in which the history of an entire medium is evoked using the cinematic apparatus or media technology of contemporary 3D imaging. Intertextual vectors of love and death are charted in the so-called z-dimension of 3D stereoscopy, with a cinephilia concerned with archival images and an interest in rebooting this history as literally and metaphorically reframed. The now-3D cinematic image projects its own history, including its technologies and a broader historiography that concerns the prospective passing – or adieu – of cinema.
Of Birds and Bees: Montaigne, Shakespeare and the Rhetoric of Imitation
Authors: Rothschild N. Amos
Published: May 2023

This essay reexamines early modern discourse on imitatio, then analyzes some of Montaigne and Shakespeare’s key engagements therewith. It reevaluates classical and early modern discussions of imitation not for their (un)reliability as descriptions of the past’s shifting intertextual practices, but as constitutive rhetorical acts. In particular, the essay shows how the common tropes of imitation—apian, digestive, avian, and cosmetic metaphors, to list a few—serve as important rhetorical staples through which imitative texts construct their purported similarities to and differences from classical precursors to maximize their own prestige and promote their own visions of learning. Turning to Montaigne, the chapter reveals how the Essayes—particularly “Of Pedantisme” and “Of the Institution and Education of Children”—redefine imitatio both to critique institutionalized pragmatic humanism as a grasping failure, and to champion their own, elitist brand of civic humanism. Though Shakespeare is never so direct, Love’s Labour’s Lost embodies in the pedant Holofernes an imitative practice that would avoid slavish repetition and claim prestige through linguistic copiousness; however, the play rejects his version of imitation by humiliating him, negotiating instead an ideal of learnedness anathema to the pedantry inevitably entangled with attempts to demand preferment by constructing the meaning and merit of imitatio.
Narcissism, Epochal Change and ‘Public Necessity’ in Richard II and ‘Of Custom, and Not Easily Changing an Accepted Law’
Authors: McKenzie William
Published: May 2023

In this chapter, William McKenzie sets Shakespeare’s most politically daring English history play alongside Montaigne’s most pointed rejection of the Protestant Reformation. In both works, Ovid’s retelling of the myth of Narcissus and Echo serves as a vehicle for thinking through historical change. Early modern commentaries on Ovid compare Narcissus to contemporary Protestants: he becomes an emblem of the philautia (‘self-love’) of these neosophoi impudentissimi (‘most impudent of neo-sophists’). Montaigne’s use of these terms to describe agents of undesirable reform in ‘Of Custom’ reveals his belief that public peace is less dependent on adopting the best possible political structures than on successfully managing pride and presumption in private individuals. For Shakespeare’s Henry Bolingbroke, matter is ‘substance’ and ideas are ‘shadows’, whereas for his Richard II, thoughts are more pressing and more substantial than the external realities they represent. This reversal of subjective and objective prefigures modern selfhood, much as Richard’s leasing-out of royal land prefigures the highly leveraged derivatives that enable the most damaging forms of present-day financial speculation. Like Montaigne, Shakespeare uses figurative language derived from Ovid’s depiction of Narcissus as a means to articulate his sense that one epoch, the medieval, is giving way to another, the modern.
Genre and Gender in Montaigne and Shakespeare
Authors: Schalkwyk David
Published: May 2023

In this chapter, Schalkwyk argues that Montaigne’s ‘I’ and ‘we’ in the Essays are almost always male, and that when he discusses gender difference directly, Montaigne’s ‘they’ and ‘them’ set women at a pronomial distance, as beings more or less unable to inhabit the subject position, that is, the position of the person who thinks and writes, in the essay format. In theatrical writing, even for male actors impersonating female characters, Shakespeare gives his women an ‘I’ of their own. Theatre is an exemplary embodiment of the shifting or indexical character of pronouns that hardly ever occurs in Montaigne. Schalkwyk supports this contrastive claim in nuanced and philosophically informed juxtapositions, setting ‘Of Affectionate Relationships’ alongside the exchange on male and female love between Orsino and Viola/Cesario in Twelfth Night and ‘On Some Verses of Virgil’ alongside several passages from Othello, with brief cogent references to many other essays and several other plays. In each case, Shakespeare’s women, whether comic heroines like Viola and Rosalind and Portia or tragic victims of gender like Desdemona and Emilia, manifest their capacity to discuss love and gender relations more perspicuously than the males they love and are married or murdered by.
Shakespeare, Montaigne and Moral Luck
Authors: McNair Maria Devlin
Published: May 2023

The term ‘moral luck’ refers to the ‘problematic or paradoxical fact that factors decisive for the moral standing of an agent are factors subject to luck’ (Walker). This chapter argues that Montaigne and Shakespeare disagree not only on the reality of moral luck but also on the dangers it might pose. Montaigne rejects moral luck insofar as he adopts a Stoic ethos, which identifies the autonomous will as the ground of moral judgment and the basis of excellence – excellence that could be compromised if moral luck were real. The Christian ethos dramatized by Shakespeare insists that the will is not autonomous, and locates the highest value, not in one’s own excellence, but in relationships with others. When those relationships are compromised by sin, full reconciliation often requires moral luck. For Montaigne, the greatest threat would be to suffer bad moral luck; for Shakespeare, it would be to miss out on good moral luck.
Making Sense of ‘To be or not to be’
Authors: Dillane Richard
Published: May 2023

Hamlet’s ‘To be or not to be’ soliloquy has been chronically misread as indistinct interior agony when in fact the text looks like philosophical calculus and is coherent as such. Shakespeare draws on Seneca’s Letter 70 and on two philosophically sceptical passages of Montaigne’s Essays, one Socratic, one Pyrrhonist, to construct an argument that condemns rationality as the source of human cowardice: we eschew suicide only because we dread death, but death is unknown because ‘no traveller returns’, and therefore ‘conscience’, or ‘thought’, is to blame. The argument works if ‘conscience’ invents what we dread, which is exactly Montaigne’s complaint about our vaunted rationality. Montaigne’s agenda is counter-humanist, or counter-Renaissance, and the drama of an intellectual unable to complete a task until he renounces ‘thinking too precisely’ and submits to divine ‘providence’, which is Montaigne’s recommendation for us all, puts the counter-Renaissance on stage.
‘The Web of our Life is of a Mingled Yarn’: Mixed Worlds and Kinds in Montaigne’s ‘We Taste Nothing Purely’ and Shakespeare’s All’s Well That Ends Well
Authors: Platt Peter G.
Published: May 2023

This chapter focuses on both authors’ examination of the blended and hybrid nature of the world and compares “We Taste Nothing Purely” (2.20) with Shakespeare’s mixed, “impure” problem play, All’s Well That Ends Well. Exploring a playworld that uncovers “mingled yarns” of “good and ill together,” All’s Well also blends comic and tragic energies; indeed, it seems to be a dramatic elaboration on the opening sentence of Montaigne’s essay: “The weakness of our condition causeth that things in their natural simplicity and purity cannot fall into our use. The elements we enjoy are altered, metals likewise, yea gold must be empared with some other stuff to make it fit for our service”. As with so much else in this play – and the problem plays more generally – Montaigne seems to be hovering and haunting: “Excessive joy hath more severity than jollity; extreme and full content, more settledness than cheerfulness”. The incompleteness that one finds in Montaigne and Shakespeare is often less than pleasant; open-endedness can suggest ongoing searches but also brokenness. To essay – to taste – is to taste impurely.
Montaigne, Shakespeare and the Metamorphosis of Comedy and Tragedy
Authors: Hillman Richard
Published: May 2023

This chapter explores a relationship between the evolution of Shakespeare's generic practice, beginning around 1600, and his familiarity with the Essays, notably in the translation by Florio. In particular, Shakespeare's plays begin to combine comic and tragic elements, considered as opposites in classic theatrical theory, so as to reflect a more Montaignian vision, which presents human experience as intrinsically mingling joy and sorrow. In these terms, the essay, "Nous ne goustons rien de pur", translated by Florio as "We taste nothing purely", assumes capital importance. After taking up Hamlet and the last formal comedies, the discussion concentrates on the final tragicomedies, especially The Winter’s Tale, whose profound synthesis of joy and sadness is considered in relation to several essays, especially "De trois bonnes femmes" ("Of three good women"), by way of some highly specific yet hitherto unnoticed echoes and allusions.
Montaigne’s Essais , Shakespeare’s Trials and Other Experiments of Moment
Authors: Scholar Richard
Published: May 2023

This chapter develops the suggestion from Burrow and Rothschild that we need a more capacious conception of literary influence in order to account for relations between Montaigne and Shakespeare. Citing Terence Cave, Scholar notes that Shakespeare’s trials have the character of essais; adapting a phrase from A. D. Nuttall, Scholar suggests that the Montaigne–Shakespeare relation, like many other important literary relationships, needs to be thought of as ‘action at a distance’. Scholar joins Burrow in drawing attention to how moments of reflective digression in Shakespeare remind one of Montaigne. Scholar differs from Burrow, however, in demonstrating that some such seemingly ‘Montaignean moments’ predate the likelihood that Shakespeare had read Montaigne in English. Leading up to a discussion of Gonzalo’s evocation of the commonwealth he would found and rule in The Tempest, Scholar adduces two such moments from earlier in Shakespeare’s career as ‘trials’ that resemble essais: the scene in Julius Caesar in which Brutus and then Antony speak over the newly slain body of Julius Caesar, and the actual trial scene in The Merchant of Venice in which Shylock justifies his resolve to exact a pound of flesh from Antonio by reference to a catalogue of irrational human compulsions.
From Dialectics to Infinity: Life Cycles in Molloy , Malone Dies and Endgame
Authors: Dennis Amanda M.
Published: May 2023

Spatiality is the focus of Chapter Three, which argues that Beckett’s postwar writing replaces dialectical progress with the body’s wandering in space, shattering faith in the predictable progress of thesis-antithesis-synthesis. Merleau-Ponty’s theory of space as elastic, as malleable, supports a reading of Molloy, Malone Dies, and Endgame as reshaping textual and physical space, not least by fusing beginnings and endings. Molloy begins at the end of his quest, in his mother’s room, replacing teleology (or destination) with the idea that subject and place co-constitute (room as womb). Detained by Lousse, a Circe figure allied with the body, Molloy’s materiality intertwines him with others and with his surroundings, while Malone’s meta-fictional emphasis dramatises the scene of writing and opens a realm of play. Finally, Endgame joins immanence with infinity, the discomfort of which suggests an ethics of bodily endurance.
Conclusion
Authors: Dennis Amanda M.
Published: May 2023

A phenomenological reading of the body in Beckett – which explores connections between linguistic signification, innovation and bodily orientation – can be applied to other writers, artists and movements. The book’s conclusion suggests ways in which embodied agency reveals itself in late modernism more generally, a period that coincides with a postwar critique of humanism in France and a resurgence of interest in the body and place. The conclusion also includes sections on installation art involving earth-bound bodies, particularly the site-specific work of Giuseppe Penone and Ana Mendieta, to demonstrate how radical enactments of these themes range beyond experimental literature.
The Compatibility-based Arguments
Authors: Altuntaş-Çakır Ravza
Published: May 2023

This chapter highlights the main challenges confronting Muslim democratic thinking such as divine sovereignty versus popular sovereignty, the consensus of the ʿulamāʾ versus public deliberation, and divine law versus human legislation. Chapter 3 questions the premises of the arguments for the compatibility of Islamic political and moral values with democracy. Through this deconstruction, it lays the ground for constructing a political theory of Muslim democracy in the next part of the book.
The Pluralising Constitution
Authors: Altuntaş-Çakır Ravza
Published: May 2023

This chapter harmonises arguments derived from legal constitutionalism and political constitutionalism as well as Islamic and multiculturalist political thought. To this end, it conceptualises the idea of pluralising constitution in Muslim democracy. Pluralising constitutionalism is characterised by incontestable legal norms of human rights, democratic law-making, and jurisdictional pluralism as a component of democratic theorisation.
