Multilingualism and Mother Tongue in Medieval French,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lglu, Catherine / Leglu, Catherine, PUBLISHER: Penn State University Press, The Occitan literary tradition of the later Middle Ages is a marginal and hybrid phenomenon, caught between the preeminence of French courtly romance and the emergence of Catalan literary prose. In this book, Catherine Leglu brings together, for the first time in English, prose and verse texts that are composed in Occitan, French, and Catalan-sometimes in a mixture of two of these languages. This book challenges the centrality of "canonical" texts and draws attention to the marginal, the complex, and the hybrid. It explores the varied ways in which literary works in the vernacular composed between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries narrate multilingualism and its apparent opponent, the mother tongue. Leglu argues that the mother tongue remains a fantasy, condemned to alienation from linguistic practices that were, by definition, multilingual. As most of the texts studied in this book are works of courtly literature, these linguistic encounters are often narrated indirectly, through literary motifs of love, rape, incest, disguise, and travel.

Criminal Injustice: Racism in the Criminal Justice System

Recommendations for transformations in justice policy and practice are provided. Robynne Neugebauer is Assistant Professor in Sociology at York University. Her research and teaching focus on criminology, policing, inequality in criminal justice, and wife assault; racism; education; and aging. Her books include Seniors and Sexuality: Experiencing Intimacy in Later Life; Aging and Inequality: Cultural Constructions of Differences; Racism and Institutional Change: Readings in Anti-Racism in Criminal Justice, Education, Health and Social Services; and Police-Community Relations (forthcoming).

The Century of Bach and Mozart: Perspectives on

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gallagher, Sean / Kelly, Thomas Forrest, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Department of Music, For many today Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart stand as towering representatives of European music of the eighteenth century, composers whose works reflect intellectual, religious, and aesthetic trends of the period. Research on their compositions continues in many ways to shape our broader understanding of eighteenth-century musical thought and its contexts. This collection of essays by leading authorities in the field offers a variety of new perspectives on the two composers, as well as some of their important contemporaries, Haydn in particular. Addressing topics as diverse as the historiography of eighteenth-century music, concepts of time and musical form, the idea of the musical work and its relation to publishing practices, compositional process, and performance practice, these essays together constitute a major contribution to eighteenth-century studies. This book had its origin in a conference that took place at the Music Department of Harvard University on September , to honor Professor Christoph Wolff, Adams University Professor at Harvard University.

Ingenious Insight for the Foolishly Unaware

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Suhon, George, PUBLISHER: iUniverse, The various thoughts and stories from this beautiful mind are truly gratifying. You'll want more and more, although you won't know why. For example: It started with one little house. Then we added a fence around the house. Then we built another house, and another and another. Soon it became Popsicle Stick Village. But after the rebellion, the entire town was left in pieces. Little, sticky, pieces. A "mature situation" is something we look forward to as kids, but avoid at all costs as adults. You may think there's some kind of irony there, but you probably just have some growing up to do.
