description: Margarites Demitsas was one of the pioneers on the field of Ancient Macedonian epigraphy in the 19th century and the editor of its first corpus containing all hitherto known inscriptions of the region. His life and scholarly activities have been fundamentally influenced by contemporary political events and his active participation in the Greek national struggle. By discussing the case of Demitsas this paper seeks to shed light on how the Ancient Macedonian inscriptions were during the 19th century utilized to benefit the Greek national interests in the region.

Migration pakistanischer Arbeitskräfte in die arabischen Erdölstaaten und ihre sozioökonomischen Implikationen für Pakistan
Creators: name: Czichowski, Frank
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Since 1973 Arab oil-countries have increasingly become immigrating countries. A significant part of immigrating workers has come from Pakistan. This article discusses the impact this emigration from Pakistan has on its socio-economic development. Part 2 tries to determine the scale of migration. Part 3 then shows the consequences of migration as they have become apparent by now. Particularly the volume, investment and distribution of remittances of overseas Pakistanis as well as the impact of migration on the labour market are considered. It is shown that the positive effects of remittances are partly offset by significant negative effects which result in shortages on the labour market. Since migration of Pakistani workers to Arab oil-countries is only temporary, most of the overseas Pakistanis can be expected to retum to Pakistan. The consequences of return migration are dealt with in part 4. It is shown that the returnees will face various problems with regard to their reintegration. The last part then reflects upon the future development of emigration from and remigration to Pakistan. Since the economic performance of the Arab oilcountries largely depends on foreign workers their number will not decrease rapidly in the next years. However, there will only be a small number of unskilled workers who will find job opportunities in these countries.

Die Tabula Traiana und Drăgans Decebalus: symbolische Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Serbien und Rumänien an der Donau
Creators: name: Carlà-Uhink, Filippo
Publisher: name: THERSITES. Journal for Transcultural Presences & Diachronic Identities from Antiquity to Date
Year: 2020

description: Since 2004 a giant portrait of the ancient Dacian king Decebalus can be seen by people visiting the Đerdap national park in Serbia or sailing along the Danube. The location is carefully chosen: the ancient king is located on the other side of the river, within the Romanian Parcul Natural Porțile de Fier, but is carved in the rock so to look in the direction from where, at the beginning of the 2nd century CE, the Romans came to move war to him and his people. Not by chance, on the Serbian side of the river and not far away from the sculpture is the Tabula Traiana, a Roman inscription celebrating the opening of the Roman road leading here in 100 CE. This article moves from the role of ancient Rome in the historical cultures and national identities of the two countries facing each other here, Serbia and Romania, in order to explain how the Romans represented a ‘contested identity’ and therefore why, at the end of the 20th century, the Romanian nationalistic millionaire G. C. Drăgan decided to invest a humongous quantity of money in the realization of the sculpture of Decebalus.

description: La zone sylvo-pastorale est une des six régions agroécologiques du Sénégal. Elle héberge Linguère, un des trois départements de la région de Louga, notre zone d’étude. C’est une zone marquée par des précipitations sporadiques qui influent sur les activités socio-économiques de la population en l’occurrence l’agriculture et l’élevage principalement. La dégradation des conditions bioclimatiques a poussé le monde paysan à se tourner majoritairement, sur recommandation de l’Institut Sénégalais de Recherche Agronomique (ISRA), vers des cultures plus adaptées comme le niébé. Ce dernier est très apprécié en cette période de variabilité pluviométrique en raison de ses nombreux avantages nutritionnel, économique et agronomique. Il est question dans ce présent papier d’analyser l’adoption de la culture du niébé dans la zone sylvo-pastorale par les agriculteurs pour faire face à la dégradation des conditions pluviométriques.

description: In this paper, we estimate the seroprevalence against COVID-19 by country and derive the seroprevalence over the world. To estimate seroprevalence among adults, we use serological surveys (also called the serosurveys) conducted within each country. When the serosurveys are incorporated to estimate world seroprevalence, there are two issues. First, there are countries in which a serological survey has not been conducted. Second, the sample collection dates differ from country to country. We attempt to tackle these problems using the vaccination data, confirmed cases data, and national statistics. We construct Bayesian models to estimate the numbers of people who have antibodies produced by infection or vaccination separately. For the number of people with antibodies due to infection, we develop a hierarchical model for combining the information included in both confirmed cases data and national statistics. At the same time, we propose regression models to estimate missing values in the vaccination data. As of 31st of July 2021, using the proposed methods, we obtain the 95% credible interval of the world seroprevalence as [35.5%,56.8%].
The Impact of Enforcement of Insider Trading Laws and Financial Integration on Stock Market Liquidity: A Global Analysis
Creators: name: Abbasi, Hira Mehmood
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 350202
subject: Finance

description: Stock market liquidity plays a significant and important role in promoting economic prosperity. Employing a large sample of 50 developed and developing countries/regions from 1980 to 2019, this thesis aims to contribute to the literature by introducing new determinants of stock market liquidity, including the enforcement of insider trading law and financial integration. In order to achieve its aims, the thesis investigates two main research issues. Firstly, it investigates the impact of the enforcement of insider trading laws on stock market liquidity. Secondly, it studies the impact of financial integration on stock market liquidity. The findings and the contributions of this thesis are summarized as follows.
In relation to the impact of the enforcement of insider trading laws on stock market liquidity, the results show a significant and positive relationship between the enforcement of insider trading laws and stock market liquidity. The results are robust to alternative measures of stock market liquidity and alternative sample periods, with endogeneity concerns and other confounding effects also considered. This thesis research also investigates the two economic channels through which the enforcement of insider trading laws enhances stock market liquidity: stock price informativeness and ownership concentration. Furthermore, a cross-country analysis shows that the enforcement of insider trading laws improves stock market liquidity more effectively for countries with better governance and regulatory environments. Finally, this thesis shows that the enforcement of insider trading laws increases the value impact of stock market liquidity. Overall, this thesis highlights the importance of the enforcement of insider trading laws in promoting secondary market quality.
Regarding the financial integration and stock market liquidity relationship, the findings suggest a positive and significant association between financial integration and stock market liquidity. These results are robust to different measures of liquidity and different sub-sample periods, with endogeneity concerns and other confounding effects also considered. The estimation results show that financial integration positively influences stock market liquidity. Three economic channels mainly drive the positive impact of financial integration and stock market liquidity: (1) asymmetric information, (2) cashflow risk, and (3) funding liquidity. In addition, the cross-country analysis results suggest that financial integration enhances stock market liquidity in countries with good corporate governance and regulations. The results also show that the positive impact of financial integration increases the value impact of stock market liquidity.

The Concept of 'Present Reality' in Luke's Gospel about the Kingdom of God
Creators: name: Enock Oluwadare AJIBADE
Publisher: name: Seybold Report Journal
Year: 2025

description: Abstract

The concept of the Kingdom of God is central to Luke’s Gospel, reflecting Jesus’ mission and teachings about God’s reign. Luke presents the Kingdom as both a present reality and a future hope, emphasizing its inclusivity in respect to ‘preaching the good news’, ‘healing the sick’, ‘Exorcism’, ‘Kingdom within you’ and Apocalyptic. This paper will focus on ‘the present reality’ of the Kingdom which has to do with the first four while the fifth one which is futuristic or ‘Apocalyptic’ may be considered in subsequent publications.  Jesus mostly describes the Kingdom of God using parables, such as the Mustard Seed (Luke 13:18–19) and the Great Banquet (Luke 14:15–24), illustrating its growth and openness to all, particularly the marginalized. His miracles and exorcisms demonstrate the Kingdom’s power over evil and suffering (Luke 11:20). The Kingdom is inaugurated through Jesus’ ministry, particularly in his proclamation of good news to the poor (Luke 4:18–19), his table fellowship with sinners (Luke 5:29–32), and his call to repentance. Moreover, Luke highlights that the Kingdom is not a political entity but a divine reality embodied in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Through his teachings and actions, Jesus redefines power, authority and righteousness, calling for radical discipleship and dependence on God. The eschatological dimension of the Kingdom remains, as its full realization awaits Christ’s return (Luke 21:27–31). Thus, Luke’s Gospel presents the Kingdom of God as inaugurated by Jesus but awaiting ultimate consummation.

KEYWORDS:

 Kingdom of God, Luke’s Gospel, Jesus’ teaching, inauguration, Present reality.

description: In this interview, Andrew Nahum discusses his career, starting as a museum assistant at the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, becoming Curator of Aeronautics (called Assistant Keeper then), then Senior Keeper/Chief Curator at the Science Museum, London. He highlights his role in two galleries which can still be found in the Science Museum in 2024: the redisplay of the Flight Gallery, which took place in 1993, and the Making the Modern World Gallery, which opened with the new Wellcome Wing in 2000. (He also worked on two further displays which are still in the museum: the ‘Bicycle Tour’ feature in the entrance hall, and the redisplayed James Watt workshop.) Andrew discusses how he brought his background as a magazine writer and editor to bear on these displays. He also details the collecting work he undertook while working as a curator at the museum. Among the more substantive topics of discussion are the challenges of balancing historical and contemporary collecting, the importance of effective museum design, and striking a balance between objects and interpretation in a museum display. Andrew discusses resisting contemporary fashions to abandon traditional collections-based displays in favour of more narrative-led approaches, and in particular the injunction to promote a ‘less is more’ philosophy, where appropriate. He also suggests that profusion can be eloquent, too. He details how the Flight Gallery sought compromises between all these divergent views. Throughout, Andrew stresses the need to preserve and protect autonomy and creativity in curatorial work. The final part of the interview reflects on the complexities of working with industry sponsors, and in particular the learning experience of an exhibition on information technology that involved the input of Austin-Rover.

Korea as a Factor in Indo-Soviet Relations, 1947-50
Creators: name: Gupta, Surendra K.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The paper analyses the impact India's position on the Korean question in the pre-1950 period had on the course of Soviet-Indian relations. When the U.S. brought up the issue of Korean unification before the U. N. in 1947, India, because of its concern about Communist expansion in Asia, supported Washington's objective of bringing about a non-Communist, unified Korea. At the suggestion of the U.S., an Indian was also appointed chairman of a U.N. Commission which was assigned the job of supervising elections in the country. Moscow refused to cooperate with the U.N. Commission headed by India's K. P.S. Menon. The U.S. then proposed that the U.N. should proceed with elections in South Korea. Despite Menon's personal opposition to the proposal, New Delhi, at the special urgings of the U.S., decided to support the American move. Later, at the U.N., India also voted for the recognition of the U.S.-backed South Korean government as the sole representative of all Korea. India's pro-American policy drew sharp protests from the Soviet Union. Moscow found it difficult to accept India's claim that it was following an independent policy. It was this perception of New Delhi's approach to questions such as Korea, and not ideological considerations, that shaped Moscow's policy toward New Delhi during the early years of lndia's independence.

EG-ASEAN Wirtschaftsbeziehungen: Ergebnisse eines Forschungsprojekts
Creators: name: Hiemenz, Ulrich
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The paper reports on major findings of a research project on the competitiveness of European companies in ASEAN markets. The loss of European market shares in this region is shown to be a symptom of the declining international competitiveness of European firms vis-a-vis suppliers from other industrialized and also from developing countries. The unsatisfactory performance can be traced to the disinclination of European firms to invest in overseas marketing and production activities. This relative neglect of the ASEAN countries has its main roots in the process of economic integration in Europe which has offered profitable export and investment opportunities both within the European Cemmunity and in associated countries. These locational advantages in and around Europe are, however, largely policy-induced and, therefore, artificial. To regain market shares and to strengthen the competitive position of European suppliers would require a reconsideration of marketing strategies at the company level and some degree of reorientation of European economic policies.

Deutsch-philippinische Wirtschaftskooperation: Chancen, Voraussetzungen, Fördermöglichkeiten
Creators: name: Zehender, Wolfgang
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The change of presidency in February 1986 also offered the chance of overcoming the severe economic decline of previous years. The present economic crisis is rooted mainly in wrong policy decisions in the past, including the "cronyism" of President Marcos. The fundamental corrections of the new development strategy aim in particular at reducing government intervention in the market (including the privatization of most state-owned enterprises), decentralization, giving priority to agriculture and rural development, and - within the manufacturing sector - promoting small and medium-sized units. Two fields of development need further clarification. Firstly, the extremely uneven and unproductive distribution of land has still to be dealt with in line with the reorganization of agriculture. Secondly, there is no clear concept as regards the industrialization process. Due to structural distortions, the manufacturing sector is not considered particularly competitive by international standards. International trends, world and domestic market potential suggest a concentration on resource-based export industries, a related intermediate product sector, the extension of existing export industries (particularly electronics), and the production of investment and consumer goods for the domestic market, but with a view to exporting in the future. The scope for collaboration with foreign companies is large and has improved through recent policy decisions. The extent of German direct investment in the Philippines has been very limited in the past, but it can be increased, also with the help of the respective cooperation policy instruments of the German government.

Three-dimensional visualisation of bacterial interactions with nano-structured surfaces
Creators: name: Boshkovikj, Veselin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In recent years there has been a growing interest in understanding the ways in which bacteria interact with nano-structured surfaces. Bacterial interaction with surfaces has become a problem in that it can be both an economic and health risk. As a result, there is a need for innovative approaches to enable researchers to understand the biological processes taking place when bacterial cells approach a substrate surface, despite the fact that these processes are not possible to directly observe. One promising avenue is to take advantages of advances in computer technology and computer graphics to enable high-quality 3D visualisation of the processes taking place. ! The objective of this research was to develop a novel methodological approach for the 3D visualisation of nano-structured surfaces and their interaction with bacterial cells. The approach would seek a balance between the artistic and scientific representation of bacterial interactions. Researchers would be encouraged to be involved in the 3D visualisation process as a way of enhancing their own insight and understanding of the processes taking place. The desired outcome would be the development of a simplified method for producing high-quality 3D movies and images of the research data to support both scientific publications and public presentations.
Debt Rescheduling in Developing Countries - The Philippines' Experience
Creators: name: Pietsch, Dietmar
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The Philippines is one of the most heavily indebted countries in Asia Following the outbreak of the international debt crisis in 1982, the Philippines were forced to renegotiate its debt with its creditors. Prior to this it became necessary for the Philippines to enter into a stand-by agreement with the IMF. Without such an agreement the private creditors would not negotiate with the Philippine government. The program on which the parties finally agreed, contained a number of measures which are well known because of their application in other debtor countries. Having settled with the IMF, the Philippine government tried to reach a settlement with its other official creditors. After protracted bargaining, the so-called Paris Club agreed to extend debt relief for a time span of 18 months, covering an amount of about $ 800 million. The third element of the rescue package was the agreement with the Philippines' private creditors. Besides obtaining a temporary easing of principal and interest payments it was essential for the Philippines for its creditors to come up with fresh money. This problem was solved in three different ways: First, a number of banks agreed to prolong short-term trade credits, amounting to some $ 3 billion. Second, the banks provided a $ 925 million loan to the Central Bank under terms comparable to those granted to the major Latin American debtor countries. The third element of the agreement was a new rescheduling mechanism with the commercial banks. While the Philippines aimed at rescheduling its debt on a multi year basis, the banks insisted that the agreement would only cover amounts falling due between 1983 and 1986. Part of the debt($ 5.8 billion) was classified into three categories: public sector debt, private corporate sector debt and private financial sector debt. For each categorya separate agreement was signed. However, the common feature of all three agreements was that the Central Bank assumed the foreign currency liabilities of the debtors under each category.

Transmigranten in Indonesien - Ihre Motive und Erfahrungen

Year: 2017

description: Transmigration is one of the most controversial elements of Indonesian development strategy. Because of the lack of knowledge about the motivations, expectations and experiences of migrants, two surveys have been conducted. They were carried out, before transmigration, in transit camps on Java, Madura, Bali and Lombok, and after transmigration, in eight new settlements in Riau and East Kalimantan. Both samples and results are representative of the government-sponsored type of "large scale" transmigration. The results clearly show the dominance of poverty motives as a major reason for migration, apparently pushing social and cultural factors, which as a whole impede mobility, into the background. Consequently, expectations of migrants are very modest, mainly oriented to safeguarding their basic needs and subsistence. Although the situation in the new settlements often does not correspondto official promises, difficulties are overcome by the pioneering attitude of transmigrants.Observations show that subsistence can normally be secured during the first two years, and that in the following years a clear process of development is possible. prerequisite for the success of the programme is, however, more satisfactory solutions to problems of planning and implementation. The authors identify major bottlenecks and submit some proposals for better solutions.

description: AbstractThe present educational environment is busy, hectic, mechanical, examination oriented and market regulated classrooms. The growth of digital class room is growing tremendously. Educational facilities which provide innovative learning environments for tomorrow’s knowledge workers and the wider community are more important than ever. Many of the modern learning environments being built today promote and support a range of pedagogies including delivering, applying, creating, communicating and decision-making. Modern learning environments support strengths-based teaching and can offer students and teachers flexibility, openness and access to resources. Providing teachers with an open, flexible learning environment where inquiries are shared, interventions devised collaboratively and reflections based on both self and peer observations, can lead to the development of a robust, continuously improving community of practice. The components of school like an eco-garden, study materials and arrangement of furniture can be learning tools themselves; fostering enquiry based learning skills, and teaching students about the impact of facilities on their immediate environment. No doubt, digital class room has positive influence in teaching learning process. But, through every day explorations in the classroom, it is teachers who are building the steps towards the future.
L’intermédialité chez Christian Gailly: le méloforme comme exemple de rapport musico-littéraire

description: This article proposes a study of the intermedial relation between music and literature in the work of Christian Gailly. According to the méloforme trope, proposed by Frédéric Sounac, a literary work can borrow the form of a musical composition or take its structure as a reference. My aim will be to identify these two types of relations in Gailly’s work. Through the technique of the fugue and the form of the concerto in classical music and through the genre of jazz, I will focus in this study on two aspects. The first one is how literary texts borrow the structure of a musical form to recreate the effect of listening. The second one is how literary texts are composed along the lines of a musical genre. Using five novels as examples, the article will explore the limits of the transposition of the musical procedures and the value of resorting to the musical form.

The term 'trading communities', however, is misleading inasmuch as it implies: First of all, groups making their living primarily by trade. As Fürer-Haimendorf rightly points out, these communities conduct(ed) a mixed economy of agriculture animal husbandry and trade, the latter source of income being only one among others. Secondly, more or less egalitarian, unstratified groups in which all householders have the same potential access to trade and tend to follow the same pattern of trade However, the patterns found among the different 'trading communities' are very complex. In this paper we will discuss the different trading patterns among the Walongchung Bothiyas - hitherto rather neglected by researchers - within the context of Nepalese economic history.

The perspectives of educators, regulators and funders of massage therapy on the state of the profession in British Columbia, Canada

description: Background: Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are valuable members of the healthcare team who assist in health promotion, disease prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliation. RMT visits have increased across Canada over the past decade with the highest increase in British Columbia (BC). Currently, RMTs are private practitioners of healthcare operating within a largely publicly funded system, positioning them outside of the dominant system of healthcare and making them an important case study in private healthcare. In another paper we examined the perspectives of RMTs themselves. Here, we offer perspectives of regulators, educators and funders of Massage Therapy (MT) on advancement of the profession. Methods: We interviewed 28 stakeholders of MT in BC – including members of the MT regulatory board, representatives from MT colleges in BC and public and private health insurers. Results: All three groups identified research, particularly on efficacy of MT, as playing a vital role in enhancing the professional credibility of MT. However, participants noted that presently research is not a large feature of the current MT curricula and we analyze why this may be and how it can improve. Finally, conferral of baccalaureate degree status could assist RMTs in gaining recognition with the general public and other healthcare professionals. Conclusion: RMTs have potential to ameliorate population health in a cost-effective manner. Their role in British Columbia’s healthcare landscape could be expanded if they produce more research and earn degree status.
South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation: Evolution and Prospects

description: Regionalism is a product of the dynamics of world politics. The major powers have often sought to create regional orders in various parts of the world in pursuance of their economic and strategic interests. In South Asia there has been no history of security-oriented regionalism with the exception of Pakistan's participation in U.S. initiated military alliance systems. Though the idea of greater regional co-operation has always been implicit in regional interactions, some specific moves were made in the late seventies towards regionalism in South Asia. These moves assumed greater significance and urgency when Bangladesh made a specific proposal in May 1980, in the then prevailing context of Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. Both India and Pakistan had strong reservations towards a security-oriented/inspired regional co-operation move. What emerged instead was, however, a development-oriented framework of regional cooperation, which since 1985 bears the name: South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (SAARC). India has since been keen to expand the developmental agenda of SAARC so as to include sectors like trade, industry, energy, etc. No regionalism move can be devoid of political undercurrents and South Asia is no exception in this respect. Many of India's neighbours have been actively using SAARC as an instrument of political diplomacy in relation to India, despite the fact that the SAARC charter prohibits bilateral and contentious issues. Their domestic political imperatives and compulsions of policy towards India are the main driving factors behind such endeavours. The easy agreement in the SAARC to work collectively towards fighting terrorism, notwithstanding divergence in the perspectives of the South Asian countries on this issue, can be seen as an example of domestic compulsions on regional policy. Some of the Western sympathisers of the SAARC sympathisers would be happy to see SAARC develop specific security underpinnings. Whether the SAARC assumes a political and strategic profile and role or not, one thing seems definite, viz. that until the political and strategic atmosphere in the region becomes more harmonious, this regional Association may not achieve any significant advances even in the economic and developmental arena.

L’échec et la folie: une approche comparée de la figure du joueur dans la lyrique amoureuse en langue d’oïl et d’oc (XIIe-XIIIe siècles)

description: Medieval poets, in particular trouvères and troubadours from the eleventh and twelfth centuries, often conjure the game metaphor to express the frustration and the suffering that love arouses. Passion, from these poets’ point of view, cannot be defined merely as a form of erotic dalliance. It is, on the contrary, a chaste and demanding mode of relationship that requires patience and devotion, resting upon the idea that an unfulfilled desire, paradoxically, is the surest path to enjoyment. Games, especially chess and dice, reflect the desperate condition of the poet who claims a sublimated love, but does not face any other choice but the cruel acceptance of a perpetual longing. Just as the player hopes for victory, but suffers only defeat and ruins himself, the lover pleads for himself, but never achieves his lady’s favours. Madness and despair are his two only options. In this regard, a comparative approach to the topic of chess and dice in the trouvères and troubadours’ poetry demonstrates the close concordances between poets who share a same conception of love, but do not necessarily summon the same images to express their ambivalent submission to its power. Therefore, this study offers a way to analyse the part that the game metaphor plays into conveying different representations of courtly love in French and Occitan lyric poetry.

Zuleika e Melusina: donne violate / donne violente nel Medioevo letterario latino e d’oïl
Creators: name: Viscidi, Benedetta
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Macerata
Year: 2020

description: The article examines some Medieval French and Latin literary texts that present simultaneously the type-figures of Zuleika, better known as Potiphar’s wife, and Melusine; both linked, in a complex and articulated way, to sexuality. In the related episodes that involve them, the violence of the male on the female seems to turn over into violence of the female on the male, and viceversa. In the meantime the erotic initiation of the young knight is staged.

Weltagrarwirtschaft versus Agrarkulturen: Zu den komparativen Nachteilen der Entwicklungsländer im Welthandel
Creators: name: Groeneveld, Sigmar
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Today, world agriculture must be regarded as part of a fast-growing world development system. This system is promoted by nearly all branches of the social and natural sciences (and the largely unquestioned assumptions on which they are based). Cultural identities cannot stand up to this international development process and doubtful progress. Therefore, it is no wonder that rural cultures - rooted in and justified by local circumstances only - are disappearing all over the world. After some decades of systematic installation of 'development' on all levels and spheres of societies, it becomes more and more obvious that this industrializing, urbanizing and scientifically backed process is highly disadvantageous for the majority of mankind. Especially the so-called Third World is at the losing end of this international trend. Therefore, the author is in favour of backing and revitalizing rural cultures - the opposite of world agriculture. This old alternative demands a radical rethinking of all sciences and dramatic action by politicians. Amongst other things, the respect for and recognition of commonality (the opposite of individual expectation) under local circumstances could be re-discovered as the backbone of rural cultures.

Condotte estetiche, stilistica dell’esistenza, antropologia letteraria: riflessioni intorno a Adieu à l’esthétique di Jean-Marie Schaeffer e Styles di Marielle Macé

description: Nel 2016, le Éditions Mimésis hanno proposto la riedizione di un saggio di Jean-Marie Schaeffer – noto filosofo dell’École des hautes études en sciences sociales e specialista di ricezione estetica – che era apparso nel 2000, Adieu à l’esthétique1. La riproposizione di questo lavoro, che non presenta modifiche macroscopiche rispetto alla prima edizione, testimonia di un interesse condiviso per una naturalizzazione dell’estetica2. Pensare l’estetica al di là di quella che siamo abituati a chiamare ‘arte’, aprirla a un’antropologia, per poter forse parlare di un’estetica antropologica3: sono queste le linee di riflessione verso cui ci muove il saggio di Schaeffer. Dopo aver tracciato un breve schizzo del contenuto del volumetto (fornendo, tra l’altro, informazioni che appariranno scontate al lettore che abbia dimestichezza con la neuroestetica), mi propongo di accostarlo a un altro lavoro uscito dall’EHESS, Styles: critique de nos formes de vie di Marielle Macé (Macé 2016).

description: In Italia, generalmente, chi si accosti all’interpretazione letteraria secondo i canoni della poetica storica russo-sovietica muove da posizioni medievistiche o, più specificamente, romanistiche. Effettivamente gran parte della fortuna in Italia (per non dire in Occidente) delle idee di A. N. Veselovskij1 (ma anche di altri studiosi più prossimi a noi, come E. M. Meletinskij2) è legata alla divulgazione che ne fecero filologi romanzi quali d’A. S. Avalle e C. Segre3; inoltre è la filologia romanza che più di altri settori della medievistica ha la tendenza a perfezionare gli strumenti critici delle scienze letterarie e linguistiche, in virtù della sua collocazione interdisciplinare. A ciò si deve aggiungere che gran parte dei lavori di Veselovskij si concentrarono sul Medioevo e sul Rinascimento italiano.

Minerals, metals and innovation in the circular economy
Creators: name: Giurco, Damien P.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Factors underpinning current modes of production and consumption are changing. Ore grades are declining in Australia, requiring more energy for processing and creating more environmental impact. Both resource and energy constraints are driving the need for innovation focussed on doing 'more with less'. Geographies of production are also changing and this is opening up new opportunities for increased recycling in the circular economy - however these are yet to be systematically evaluated.
