Legalism: Anthropology and History by Paul Dresch, Hannah Skoda
Requirements: PDF Reader, 3.0 MB
Overview: Law and law-like institutions are visible in human societies very distant from each other in time and space. When it comes to observing and analysing such social constructs historians, anthropologists, and lawyers run into notorious difficulties in how to conceptualize them. Do they conform to a single category of ‘law’? How are divergent understandings of the nature and purpose of law to be described and explained? Such questions reach to the heart of philosophical attempts to understand the nature of law, but arise whenever we are confronted by law-like practices and concepts in societies not our own.

In this volume leading historians and anthropologists with an interest in law gather to analyse the nature and meaning of law in diverse societies. They start from the concept of legalism, taken from the anthropologist Lloyd Fallers, whose 1960s work on Africa engaged, unusually, with jurisprudence. The concept highlights appeal to categories and rules. The degree to which legalism in this sense informs people’s lives varies within and between societies, and over time, but it can colour equally both ‘simple’ and ‘complex’ law. Breaking with recent emphases on ‘practice’, nine specialist contributors explore, in a wide-ranging set of cases, the place of legalism in the workings of social life.

From Skedaddle to Selfie: Words of the Generation by Allan Metcalf
Requirements: PDF Reader, 1.0 MB
Overview: From baby boomers with ‘groovy’ and ‘yuppie’ to Generation X with ‘whatever’ and ‘like,’ each generation inevitably generates original words that come out of its social and historical context. Those words not only tell us a great deal about the people in those generations, but also highlight the differences between them and other generations.

In this book, Allan Metcalf, author of OK, uses a special framework of defining American generations to show that each generation of those born within a particular 20-year time period can be identified and characterized by words it chooses to use. By sampling from as far back as the American Revolution, Metcalf carefully constructs a comprehensive account of the history and usage of words associated with each generation in the American language. With special attention to the differences in vocabulary among the generations currently living-the sometimes awkward Millennials, the grunge music of Generation X, hippies among the Boomers, and bobbysoxers among the Silents – From Skeddadle to Selfie compiles dozens of words we have come to recognize or use and tells the unheard stories of each in its role of accompanying its generation through the times.

Emotion in Old Norse Literature: Translations, Voices, Contexts by Sif Rikhardsdottir (Author) (Studies in Old Norse Literature)
Requirements: Any PDF Reader, 9.54 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: Authors throughout history have relied on the emotional make-up of their readers and audiences to make sense of the behaviours and actions of fictive characters. But how can a narrative voice contained in a text evoke feelings that are ultimately never real or actual, but a figment of a text, a fictive reality created out of words? How does one reconcile interiority – a presumed modern conceptualisation – with medieval emotionality?

The volume seeks to address these questions. It positions itself within the larger context of the history of emotion, offering a novel approach to the study of literary representations of emotionality and its staging through voice, performativity and narrative manipulation, probing how emotions are encoded in texts. The author argues that the deceptively laconic portrayal of emotion in the Icelandic sagas and other literature reveals an emotive script that favours reticence over expressivity and exposes a narrative convention of emotional subterfuge through narrative silences and the masking of emotion. Focusing on the ambivalent borders between prose and poetic language, she suggests that poetic vocalisation may provide a literary space within which emotive interiority can be expressed. The volume considers a wide range of Old Norse materials – from translated romances through Eddic poetry and Íslendingasögur (sagas of Icelanders) to indigenous romance.

Shakespeare for Students Anne Marie Hacht, Cynthia Burnstein (Foreword)
Requirements: PDF Reader, 32.00 Mb
Overview: This may be a scene from your experience: You have been assigned to read a play by William Shakespeare in your literature class. The students look a little skeptical as the books are distributed. That evening at home you do your best to understand as you read the play alone, fiercely studying the footnotes and employing a dictionary, but you still have serious doubts that you are correctly grasping the plot. Although the next day’s class discussion helps enormously, you are now positive that you will never get all the characters’ names straight. Then one day in class a couple of students disagree about the motivation of the main character and press each other to back up their interpretations with evidence from the text. The rest of the class sits forward in their seats. The debate is intense. For some reason, your teacher is smiling. Hours later you find yourself thinking about the play. Finally, you watch a film version of the play, or, if you are really lucky, you see it performed live. Now everyone in the class has a question as well as an opinion, and the discussions that ensue take a tone of authority that is new and exhilarating.
