Biblical and Rabbinic Hesed ג ד "The Rabbis said to Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: Today little school children came to the Beit Midrash (the study hall) and spoke of things the like of which were not even said in the days of Joshua, son of Nun [the student of Moshe]. [These pupils recited the alphabet and thereby strung together letters into sentences that teach moral wisdom as exemplified in the following:] Aleph Bet means: "Study (Aleph –ulpan in Aramaic) wisdom (Binah)! Gimel Dalet means: Grant lovingkindness (Gemol Gemilut hasadim) to the poor (Dal)! What is the significance of the shape of the letter Gimel that extends its ‘leg’ [as if running]? It teaches that the way of giving lovingkindness (Gemilut hasadim) is to run after the poor (Dal of Dalet) [to provide their needs].

The Material Culture of Love and Loss in Eighteenth-Century England Jennifer A
‘I mourn for them I loved’: The Material Culture of Love and Loss in Eighteenth-Century England Jennifer A. Jorm Bachelor of Arts (History) Honours Class 1 A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry i Abstract This thesis analyses the material culture of love and loss in eighteenth-century England through the lens of emotions. My study builds on scholarly works on material culture, emotions, death, love, and loss. It examines objects used to declare love, to express grief, and to say farewell. Chapter One introduces the historiography of this topic, outlines the methodology used, and problematises the issues and questions surrounding the relationship between individuals and objects during this period, such as the eighteenth century “consumer revolution,” and the rise of sentimentalism. This chapter also introduces what I term the “emotional economy,” or the value placed on an object based on emotional signficance regardless of its intrinsic value. Chapter Two explores love tokens and the role they played in not only the expression of romantic love, but the making and breaking of courtships and marriages. This chapter concludes that the exchange of tokens was vital to the expression of love, and was an expected emotional behaviour to progress a courtship into a marriage. Chapter Three explores the material culture of death, focusing on tokens created and distributed for the comforting of mourners, and the commemoration of the dead. It’s findings confirmed that mourners valued tokens and jewellery, particularly those made with hair belonging to the deceased in order to maintain a physical connection to their loved ones after their passing.

Sex, Spirits, and Sensibility: Human Generation in British Medicine, Anatomy, and Literature, 1660-1780
Sex, Spirits, and Sensibility: Human Generation in British Medicine, Anatomy, and Literature, 1660-1780 Darren Neil Wagner PhD The University of York Department of History September 2013 Abstract This thesis explores the physiological idea of animal spirits in relation to nerves, sex, and reproduction in the culture of sensibility. That physiology held the sex organs of both females and males to be exceptionally sensitive parts of the body that profoundly affected individuals’ constitutions and minds. Sexual sensations, desires, volition, and behaviour depended upon animal spirits and nerves. A central concern in this perception of the body and mind was the conflict between rationality from the intellectual will and sexual feelings from the genitalia. The idea that the body and mind interacted through animal spirits became influential in Georgian culture through anatomical and medical writings, teachings, and visual displays, but also through its resonance in literature about sensibility. This research predominantly draws upon material and print cultures of medicine, anatomy, and literature from 1660-1780. The analysis highlights the roles of gender, markets, literary modes, scientific practices, visual demonstrations, medical vocations, and broader social and political discourses in conceptions of the body and mind in relation to sex and reproduction. Ultimately, this study fleshes out the sensible and sexual body, which cultural and literary historians have frequently referred to, and emphasizes how the organs of generation commanded

DANSON Erotica Collection at TRINITY COLLEGE , OXFORD Catalogued by Alison Felstead
The DANSON Erotica Collection at TRINITY COLLEGE , OXFORD Catalogued by Alison Felstead Transcribed by Patrick J. Kearney Scissors & Paste Bibliographies Santa Rosa, California, and Trinity College, Oxford, 2019 © 2019 The President and Fellows of Trinity College, Oxford. The Danson Collection he Danson erotica collection of approximately 450 items forms part of the much larger Danson Tcollection, which came to Trinity College in 1976. It was the bequest of Lieutenant-Colonel John Raymond Danson (1898-1976), an old member of the College, who matriculated in 1912, reading Law. He served as captain in the Cheshire Regiment in the First World War, and was awarded the Military Cross. He entered the family firm of average adjusters after the War, and was made a partner in 1921. He maintained his ties with the military, serving in the Territorial Army between the wars. In 1940 he went to France with the British Expeditionary Force, where he commanded the 4 th Battalion Cheshire Regiment and rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He retired from the army after the evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940, and returned to the family firm, where he remained until his retirement in 1953. He was made an Honorary Fellow of Trinity in 1969. Danson had decided to leave his books to Trinity after discussing this with the College President, Herbert Blakiston (President 1907-38), in the early 1930s, and spent the next forty years building a collection with the College in mind. In a letter to J R H Weaver (President 3 1938-54) dated 27 June 1949 Danson outlined the history and the contents of his library: “It was started by my grandfather [John Towne Danson] who died in 1897 [i.e.

Ethnography and Queer Translation 72 EVREN SAVCI
Queering Translation, Translating the Queer This groundbreaking work is one of the first book-length publications to critically engage in the emerging field of research on the queer aspects of translation and interpreting studies. The volume presents a variety of theo- retical and disciplinary perspectives through fourteen contributions from both established and up-and-coming scholars in the field to demonstrate the interconnectedness between translation and queer aspects of sex, gender, and identity. The book begins with the editors’ introduction on the state of the field, providing an overview of both current and developing lines of research, and builds on this foundation to look at this research more closely, grouped around three different sections: Queer Theorizing of Translation, Case Studies of Queer Translations and Translators, and Queer Activism and Translation. This interdisciplinary approach seeks not only to shed light on this promising field of research but also to promote cross-fertilization between these disciplines toward further exploring the intersections between queer studies and translation studies, making this volume key reading for students and scholars interested in translation studies, queer studies, poli- tics, activism, and gender and sexuality studies.

Separate Rooms, 1989) Is a Novel Written by Pier Vittorio Tondelli, an Italian Writer Active in Bologna During the 1980S
Tondelli’s Camere separate Through Roland Barthes’ Lexicon Laura Gagliardi Camere separate (Separate Rooms, 1989) is a novel written by Pier Vittorio Tondelli, an Italian writer active in Bologna during the 1980s. In order to understand the thematic complexity of this book, I shall use the theoretical lexicon elaborated by the French theorist, Roland Barthes, in his A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments (1977). Barthes’ writing becomes an essential tool to explore the subtleties of romantic novels, which can be read more deeply and more clearly when analyzed through the definitions of typical lovers’ images which are defined and exemplified in Barthes’ love vocabulary.1 The Italian critic Eugenio Bolongaro, in his essay “A Scandalous Intimacy,” remembers that “Pier Vittorio Tondelli's Camere separate is such a novel, a work that challenges the method as well as the hedonism of the Barthesian model,” a work seen “as the site for an endlessly renewed encounter between living beings in and through language” (816). Therefore, to survive the challenge, and go beyond the understanding of Tondelli’s novel, I shall follow a process of analysis going deep into the lexicon provided by Barthes, applying it to different moments in Tondelli’s work. Tondelli was born in 1955 in Correggio, a small town in Emilia Romagna, and began his career at twenty-five with the novel Altri libertini (1980), a literary phenomenon that upset the intellectual scene of the time2. Introducing themes that were considered outrageous and foul, such as homosexuality and sexually transmitted diseases— Camere separate is the first novel to ever depict the AIDS epidemic in Italy.

A Dictionary of Dictionaries
137846 Dictionary of Dictionaries 417p Douglas Quirk, O.A.* Acknowledgements This Dictionary of Dictionaries was not prepared for, nor does it represent the views of any known organization, institution or special interest group. All who have been approached to sponsor this material have vehemently opposed its creation or publication. These included my tailor (who insists on sewing into my suits a GFR label: 'Guaranteed Factory Reject'?), my soap-maker (who just went broke), my maiden aunt (who died just before I was born), my local psychological association (which declined to comment or be named) and the kid who today kicked a hole in the rust that is my car (who used some invective when I offered him part ownership in this my other possession). Perhaps you think I ought to thank all these for whatever kind thoughts they might have intended. Like all dictionaries, this one steals other people's words and ideas. Many of the definitions offered here are plagiarized from Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary. It was impossible to obtain his permission to reproduce his definitions. You see, around the middle of the last century, when he was in his 80s, I bore the pain of assassinating him, out of sheer envy of his vitriolic tongue. May his remains rest in pieces, wherever they are. INTRODUCTION People know how to be people. They just don't know how to talk to themselves or others about being people. Because we don't know how to talk about being people, we often mislead ourselves and others by using the wrong words and ideas.

Davis John Cleland's The Dictionary of Love: An XML Edition Emily K. Davis (ABSTRACT) Conducting and disseminating humanities research is fast becoming a highly technological endeavor. The variety of multimedia options for presenting information changes the questions we ask and the answers we find as well as the problems we encounter and the solutions we devise. The following essays provide an account of creating a digital edition of John Cleland's The Dictionary of Love using XML. The project utilizes traditional literary research methods while working toward an untraditional digital final product, a characteristic that highlights the feedback loop between form and function. Thus, the purpose of this project is twofold: to provide students and scholars information and analysis on The Dictionary of Love and, in the process, to examine and discuss the challenges, drawbacks and benefits of producing the content as a web-compatible resource.
