He's come to open trade for “barbaric” England and squeeze out the Portuguese, who try to kill him at every turn. But once on land, he’s captive: the beauty and romance of the exquisite Moghul Empire seduce him from his material goals to a new quest – of supreme sensuality in music, visions, and sacred lovemaking. India, ruled by the son of great Akbar, is about to pass to one of his sons. Hawksworth must choose sides, but will he choose right? The future of England, and of India, depend on it.

Ancient Near East I: Syntax and Semantics. John Huehnergard, Uni- versity of Texas, Chair (1:30 p.m.–2:30 p.m.) Picasso Ballroom ∗ 1. Øyvind Bjøru, University of Texas at Austin, and Na’ama Pat-El, The Univer- sity of Texas, Austin On the Historical Syntax of the Subordination Morpheme in Assyrian Akkadian Akkadian marks subordinated verbs with a special morpheme, Babylonian -u and Assyri-an -(¯u)ni; e.g., ˇsa ir-ra-ru ‘the one he curses’ (OB, Anzu, line 22). Semitists and Assyriologists have debated the origin of these morphemes in Akkadian in general and in Assyrian in particular (e.g., Kouwenberg 2010, Hasselbach 2012). In this paper we will concentrate on the syntax and distribution of the morpheme in Assyrian, where it is morphologically complex and its syntax differs significantly from Babylonian. We will argue that this morpheme becomes generalized in this dialect, shifting from being part of the Assyrian TAM markers with restricted distribution, to acquiring a purely syntactic function which is decoupled from the verbal paradigm. In Middle Assyrian, the morpheme is attested on all verbal and deverbal predicates, with no restriction, including with verbs carrying other suffixes, such as pronominal and ventive. The most interesting development, however, is attested in Neo-Assyrian, where the morpheme is used to mark the right-most edge of the subordinated sentence, no matter what element is located there, including pronominal subjects in nominal sentences; e.g., LU´ la ´u-da a-a-´uˇsu-tu-´u-ni ‘I don’t know who this man is’ (SAA 10, 280: r1-2).

  • Eroticism and Sexual Pleasure in Diane Case's
    ! ECAS 2013 5th European Conference on African Studies African Dynamics in a Multipolar World ©2014 Centro de Estudos Internacionais do Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL) ISBN: 978-989-732-364-5 EROTICISM AND SEXUAL PLEASURE IN DIANE CASE’S TOASTED PENIS AND CHEESE Ifeyinwa Genevieve Okolo Department of English and Literary Studies Federal University Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria [email protected] Eroticism and sexual pleasure in Diane Case’s Toasted Penis and Cheese! Abstract This paper explores eroticism and pleasure in Diane Case’s Toasted Penis and Cheese showing the wide variety of available sexual pleasures to men and women, but with emphasis on the avenues of pleasure available to the woman. Sexual pleasures in the novel are presented in binary forms with the socio-cultural and religious factors determining what are classified in these binaries as good/bad, moral/immoral, and acceptable/unacceptable. Case represents different understandings and ideologies over varied sexual behaviours and pleasure without subscribing to the inhibitions generated by these ideologies – she rather places adult consent over them. The degree of sexual satisfaction or its denial contributes significantly to the general wellbeing of the individual, and, to an extent, determines the pace of human inter-relations. Key words: eroticism, sexual pleasure, sexual satisfaction/denial, sexuality, morality, auto-eroticism 1618 Ifeyinwa Genevieve Okolo Eroticism and sexual pleasure in Diane Case’s Toasted Penis and Cheese! Sexual Pleasure/Eroticism: An Overview Much of what exists as the body of literature on eroticism, beginning from the ancient texts on sex have their focus on how best to maximise pleasure for the man with little attention paid to the woman’s pleasure.

  • POTENCY THERAPY in CLASSICAL INDIAN MEDICINE Virility And
    POTENCY THERAPY IN CLASSICAL INDIAN MEDICINE KENNETH G. ZYSK Abstract This paper examines the traditional Indian ideas about impotency, virility, and potency therapy as found principally in the Sanskrit medical treatises of Caraka and Susruta. Included is a detailed discussion of the potency for­ mulas and what they contain. The analysis of this material leads to six important conclusions: l. Caraka relies on a brahminic explanation of and justification for potency therapy, which is wanting in Susruta. 2. The use of symbolism to empower certain medicines seems to reflect a local tradi­ tion of folk medicine. 3. Certain animals are used as potency symbols. A similar use of potent animals occurs throughout Sanskrit literature. 4. The mention of meat in the potency of formulas of both treatises indicates that meat-eating was not forbidden at this time in certain contexts. 5. All but one of the potency formulas were to be consumed, and where believed to give general nourishment and bodily strength. Moreover, the consumption of animal semen as an ingredient in certain formulas was forbidden by the twelfth century CE. 6. The only non-consumed potency medicine was a foot balm, which may have been derived from an early tradition of Indian eroticism, known as Kamasastra. Virility and impotency are real concerns for people the world over, for they lie at the very basis of the survival of the species. All cul­ tures have developed methods for curing impotency and assuring virility, which have focused on ways to increase and sustain the male sex drive through the consumption of aphrodisiacs and their appli­ cation to the genitalia.

DESCRIPTORS *Art Expression; *Asian Studies; Ethnic Groups; Foreign Countries; Global Education; Higher Education; *Indians; Interdisciplinary Approach; Multicultural Education; Non Western Civilization; Religion Studies; Secondary Education; World Literature IDENTIFIERS *India ABSTRACT This paper explores the representation of the human body through the literature and art of early India. From its beginning, Indian art has employed an uninterrupted iconic mode of representation that focuses on an anthropomorphic mimesis to describe desire, devotion, and ascetic denial. The paper focuses on the earliest such representations of the body in religion, art, and literature as background to the iconographic development in India.
