The Syntax–Prosody Interface

Autor: Giuliano Bocci

Número de Páginas: 225

This book presents an experimental and theoretical investigation of the interplay between information structure, word order alternations, and prosody in Italian. Left/right dislocations, focus fronting, and other reordering phenomena are analyzed, taking into account their morphosyntactic and prosodic properties. It is argued that a restricted set of discourse-related properties are inserted in the numeration as formal features. These discourse-related features drive the syntactic derivation and the formation of the prosodic representation in compliance with the T-model of grammar. Based on the cartographic approach, this study proposes a model of the syntax–prosody interface in which the phonological computation of prosody is fed by syntactically encoded properties of information structure. However, this computation is also governed by structural requirements intrinsic to the phonological domain, and thus, a bijective relation between information structure and prosodic representation is not guaranteed. The monograph will be of interest to any linguist concerned with syntax, information structure, and prosody.

Teoría y práctica del Defensor del Pueblo

Autor: Carlos R. Constenla

Número de Páginas: 416

La institución del Defensor del Pueblo, innovadora figura del Derecho Público, que irrumpió por casi todo el mundo en la última parte del siglo XX para proteger los derechos de las personas frente a las arbitrariedades del poder, ha generado –y genera– más interrogantes que respuestas. Si bien la denominación Defensor del Pueblo se presenta como la traducción castellana del Ombudsman sueco, hay algunas diferencias entre ambos términos, sobre todo a partir de la consagración de esta figura en la península ibérica (Portugal y España). El Ombudsman escandinavo fue concebido como un órgano de control en tanto que el Defensor del Pueblo, sin dejar de ejercer esa responsabilidad, es básicamente un instrumento de las garantías para defender y hacer efectivos los derechos humanos. El Ombudsman ejerce una magistratura de opinión; el Defensor del Pueblo está legitimado para ejercer la acción de amparo y el recurso de inconstitucionalidad. Sobre estos presupuestos, la presente obra contiene un original análisis del instituto dicho, que parte de las dos formas en que se manifiesta el poder: el poder de crear la ley, de hacerla cumplir, de juzgar; el poder de impedir que ...

The Faces of Angels

Autor: Lucretia Grindle

Número de Páginas: 436

A sweltering day in Florence, and newly-wed art student Mary Warren breaks away from her tour group in the Boboli Gardens to wander into a shady tunnel of trees. But the tranquil setting conceals a complex maze and a masked killer: within minutes Mary has been severely attacked and her husband brutally murdered. A year later and the ‘Honeymoon Killer’, Karel Indrizzio, is dead and Mary is living a restless life in Philadelphia. Her scars are a constant reminder of that dreadful day, but in an effort to help her forget, her friend – attractive journalist, Pierangelo – invites her to return to Italy. However, in this city Mary’s dark secret cannot stay buried for long. For there is a new menace stalking the women of Florence, and his technique is startlingly reminiscent of her own attacker’s. Piero is following the deadly trail and Mary soon recognizes terrifying implications and patterns in his research: either this is a copycat, or her husband’s murderer is still at large . . .

Las monarquías de la Europa meridional ante el desafío de la modernidad (siglos XIX y XX)

Autor: De Lorenzo, Renata , Gutiérrez Lloret, Rosa Ana

Número de Páginas: 540

Centrado en el espacio geopolítico de la Europa del Sur (España, Italia y Portugal), con sagas dinásticas afines y contextos sociopolíticos similares, pero con trayectorias históricas que evidencian también disparidades, los trabajos reunidos en este libro abordan las estrategias y prácticas políticas de las monarquías de estos países y su proceso de adaptación a la modernidad. En consonancia con el renovado interés de la historiografía europea actual por el estudio de la monarquía y planteados desde diversos enfoques e itinerarios investigadores, los estudios del presente volumen ofrecen un marco alternativo a las dinámicas proyectadas sólo sobre el ámbito anglosajón, generalmente considerado área paradigmática de modernización.

Suspended God

Autor: Maeve Louise Heaney

Número de Páginas: 455

Heaney traces the hidden history of music's presence in Christian thought, including its often unrecognized influence on key figures such as von Balthasar, Barth and Bonhoeffer. She uses Lonergan's theological framework to explore musical composition as a theological act, showing why, when and how music is a useful symbolic form. The book introduces eleven ground-breaking theologians, and each chapter offers an entry point into the thought of the theologian being presented through an original piece of music, which can be found on the companion website: https://bloomsbury.pub/suspended-god. Heaney argues that music is a universally important means of making sense of life with which theology needs to engage as a means of expression and of development. Musical composition is presented as an appropriate and even necessary form of doing theology in its quest to engage with the past, mediate truth to the present and tradition it into the future.

»Transkulturelle Kunstvermittlung« gibt den Blick auf das Eigene und Fremde frei und entfaltet das besondere Bildungspotenzial von Kunst für den Einzelnen in der transkulturellen Gesellschaft. Erstmals die hybride Verfasstheit heutiger Gesellschaften systematisch reflektierend, verdeutlicht Inga Eremjans grundlagentheoretische Fundierung der Transkulturellen Kunstvermittlung unter Bezug auf Kunst-, Kultur- und Bildungswissenschaften, wie innovative Formen des Kunstunterrichts transkulturelle Prozesse ermöglichen können. Sie zeigt: Ästhetisch-künstlerische Praxen und ästhetische Erfahrungen sind zentral, denn sie eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf Denk-, Wahrnehmungs- sowie Handlungsformen und fördern so die selbstbestimmte Teilhabe des Subjekts.

En esta obra se explica, de un lado, cómo Roma, una pequeña aldea fundada cerca del río Tíber, entre siete colinas que aún hoy se recorren en un plácido paseo vespertino otoñal, se convirtió en el gran imperio que abarcó desde Mesopotamia hasta Britania, y de otro, cómo se erigió en cuna del denominado derecho continental, por medio del cual pervive hoy escapando a la vejez y a la muerte.

Le Prince au miroir de la littérature politique de l’Antiquité aux Lumières

Autor: Lydwine Scordia

Número de Páginas: 460

Les traités de bon gouvernement, autrement appelés « miroirs au prince » car ils sont censés renvoyer à leur destinataire l’image idéale du bon prince, s’inscrivent dans une tradition forte. Ils ne constituent pas pour autant un ensemble uniforme : Le Prince au miroir de la littérature politique souligne le renouvellement constant du genre depuis l’Antiquité, voire les césures qui ont pu marquer son évolution jusqu’au siècle des Lumières, tout comme l’inscription de chaque œuvre dans un contexte historique précis. Les dix-huit études réunies réfléchissent également nos interrogations sur les rapports entre pouvoir et écriture.

Trust in Atonement

Autor: Teresa Morgan

Número de Páginas: 372

A fresh exploration of atonement, rooted in the theology of trust Atonement—the restoration of right relationship with God, which God has made possible for humanity through Christ—is the good news of Christianity. How ought Christians think about the epicenter of salvation history? Teresa Morgan takes up this longstanding question and—in a significant departure from both classical and modern theologians—proposes new answers that are rooted in the concept of trust (pistis). Weaving together exegesis and theology, sociology and psychology, Morgan defines atonement as the restoration of trust between God and humanity through the trust and trustworthiness of Jesus Christ. Her model has important implications for Christians’ understanding of sin, suffering, and the possibility of forgiveness and restoration of trust among human beings.

Arthur Spiethoff and the German Historical School of Economics

Autor: Vitantonio Gioia

Número de Páginas: 272

Arthur Spiethoff (1873–1957), an economist of the German Historical School of Economics, is best known for his theory of the business cycle. Despite Spiethoff calling for a unified reading of his work, his epistemological thinking has received less attention. This book addresses that gap by analysing Spiethoff’s theory of the business cycle in the light of his epistemological views. Putting Spiethoff’s work in context, the book also investigates the most significant features of the evolution of the “research programme” of the German Historical School of Economics, with particular reference to the relationships between Schmoller, Sombart, Weber and Spiethoff. In addition, Spiethoff’s work is compared with some of the scientific orientations of the current debates: on the epistemological side, the book examines the relationship between Spiethoff’s views and some contemporary thinking on scientific realism, as well as methodological pluralism in social sciences. And, more broadly, it emphasises the analytical relevance of the historical approach in explaining the economic imbalances of contemporary capitalism, questioning the idea, widespread in the neoclassical...

A Genealogy of Public Security

Autor: Giuseppe Campesi

Número de Páginas: 249

There are many histories of the police as a law-enforcement institution, but no genealogy of the police as a form of power. This book provides a genealogy of modern police by tracing the evolution of "police science" and of police institutions in Europe, from the ancien régime to the early 19th century. Drawing on the theoretical path outlined by Michel Foucault at the crossroads between historical sociology, critical legal theory and critical criminology, it shows how the development of police power was an integral part of the birth of the modern state’s governmental rationalities and how police institutions were conceived as political technologies for the government and social disciplining of populations. Understanding the modern police not as an institution at the service of the judiciary and the law, but as a complex political technology for governing the economic and social processes typical of modern capitalist societies, this book shows how the police have played an active role in actually shaping order, rather than merely preserving it.

ChildDance

Autor: Diane Lynch Fraser

Número de Páginas: 242

Imagine there is no one in the world with whom you can communicate. All your attempts to reach out and make sense in the world are thwarted because there is no one who understands your language. This is a normal event in child development. Yet the child with disabilities has less adaptive skills than other children her age. Attempts are more frustrating. To make matters worse, the whole circle of communication between adult and child becomes thwarted as parents and therapists, instead of reading nonverbal cues accurately, misjudge them and send the whole communication circle spiraling downward. The character, the pacing, the whole theatre of our play and movement with young children is extremely important. As we believe children must learn to speak, we adults, parents and therapists, must learn to play. It’s not that adults are not well meaning. Very many are. It’s just that most adults have no idea "how to be" in the child’s preverbal world. It is to this preverbal task that ChildDance is addressed. It describes one therapist’s encounter with six different children with special needs, how child development theory and practice is woven together to form a fabric for...

Disciplined Dissent

Autor: Autori Vari

Número de Páginas: 308

Inspired by current debates around political confrontation and the exercise of power, Fabrizio Titone offers an interpretation based on the concept of disciplined dissent. This interpretation is centred on the notion of diffused power and is designed to transcend the binary distinction consensus/resistance. The aim is to identify the conservative process involved in mounting a critique, a protest, through which those who object may have intercepted and then deployed on their own account the cultural repertoire of those in a position of authority. This was with a view to obtaining a hearing, or even influencing the activities of the government and decentering the exercise of power. The essays collected here take as their theoretical point of departure the concept of disciplined dissent. In order to ascertain how adaptable the latter is, the decision was taken to include studies relating to wholly distinct political contexts. Contributions by scholars from different backgrounds shed light upon different circumstances prevailing in continental and non-continental medieval Europe. The aim is to offer a broad spectrum of analyses on political confrontation, the formulation of critiques ...

Ellipsometry at the Nanoscale

Autor: Maria Losurdo , Kurt Hingerl

Número de Páginas: 740

This book presents and introduces ellipsometry in nanoscience and nanotechnology making a bridge between the classical and nanoscale optical behaviour of materials. It delineates the role of the non-destructive and non-invasive optical diagnostics of ellipsometry in improving science and technology of nanomaterials and related processes by illustrating its exploitation, ranging from fundamental studies of the physics and chemistry of nanostructures to the ultimate goal of turnkey manufacturing control. This book is written for a broad readership: materials scientists, researchers, engineers, as well as students and nanotechnology operators who want to deepen their knowledge about both basics and applications of ellipsometry to nanoscale phenomena.
