  • GIS-Based Landscape Analysis of Megalithic Graves in the Island of Sardinia (Italy) Riccardo Cicilloni 1, Marco Cabras 2
    GIS-based landscape analysis of megalithic graves in the Island of Sardinia (Italy) Riccardo Cicilloni 1, Marco Cabras 2 1. Department of History, Cultural Heritage and Territory, University of Cagliari. Via Is Mirrionis 1, 09123 Cagliari, Italy. Email: [email protected] 2. Ph.D. Candidate, Doctorado en Historia y Artes – Arquelogía y Cultura Material, Universidad de Granada. Via Is Mirrionis 119, 09121 Cagliari, Italy. Email: [email protected] Abstract: One of the most important megalithic groups in Western Europe in terms of number and characteristics is the group of over 200 monuments of various types in Sardinia. It now seems to be confirmed that the rise of the megalithic phenomenon was during the culture of San Michele of Ozieri (Late Neolithic, 4000-3300 B.C.E.). The Sardinian dolmen graves, however, had a maximum distribution during the Chalcolithic, as evidenced by most of the finds from excavations. The phenomenon also shows a close relationship beyond Sardinia and especially with the monuments of Catalonia, Pyrenees, non-coastal departments of French-midi, Corsica and Puglia. About 90 dolmen graves of various types have been investigated, namely the simple type, “corridor” type, “allée couverte” type, and others of uncertain attribution, located in central-western Sardinia, and particularly in a significant area of ca. 3500 km2 coinciding with the historical regions of Marghine-Planargia, Middle Valley of Tirso and Montiferru. This includes some 40% of all Sardinian dolmens. Locational trends and relationships with regard to landscape elements were studied with the aid of GIS methodologies such as viewshed and cost surface analysis.

  • “Am I Not of Those Who Reared / the Banner of Old Ireland High?” Triumphalism, Nationalism and Conflicted Identities in Francis Ledwidge’S War Poetry
    Romp /1 “Am I not of those who reared / The banner of old Ireland high?” Triumphalism, nationalism and conflicted identities in Francis Ledwidge’s war poetry. Bachelor Thesis Charlotte Romp Supervisor: dr. R. H. van den Beuken 15 June 2017 Engelse Taal en Cultuur Radboud University Nijmegen Romp /2 Abstract This research will answer the question: in what ways does the poetry written by Francis Ledwidge in the wake of the Easter Rising reflect a changing stance on his role as an Irish soldier in the First World War? Guy Beiner’s notion of triumphalist memory of trauma will be employed in order to analyse this. Ledwidge’s status as a war poet will also be examined by applying Terry Phillips’ definition of war poetry. By remembering the Irish soldiers who decided to fight in the First World War, new light will be shed on a period in Irish history that has hitherto been subjected to national amnesia. This will lead to more complete and inclusive Irish identities. This thesis will argue that Ledwidge’s sentiments with regards to the war changed multiple times during the last year of his life. He is, arguably, an embodiment of the conflicting loyalties and tensions in Ireland at the time of the Easter Rising. Key words: Francis Ledwidge, Easter Rising, First World War, Ireland, Triumphalism, war poetry, loss, homesickness Romp /3 Table of contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 4 Chapter 1 History and Theory ...................................................................................................

Orientalist Commercializations: Tibetan Buddhism in American Popular Film Abstract Many contemporary American popular films are presenting us with particular views of Tibetan Buddhism and culture. Unfortunately, the views these movies present are often misleading. In this essay I will identify four false characterizations of Tibetan Buddhism, as described by Tibetologist Donald Lopez, characterizations that have been refuted by post-colonial scholarship. I will then show how these misleading characterizations make their way into three contemporary films, Seven Years in Tibet, Kundun and Little Buddha. Finally, I will offer an explanation for the American fascination with Tibet as Tibetan culture is represented in these films. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol2/iss2/5 Mullen: Orientalist Commercializations Tibetan religion and culture are experiencing an unparalleled popularity. Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan history are commonly the subjects of Hollywood films.

  • Toccata Classics TOCC0242 Notes
    Americas, and from further aield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, JOHN KINSELLA, IRISH SYMPHONIST by Séamas da Barra John Kinsella was born in Dublin on 8 April 1932. His early studies at the Dublin College of Music were devoted to the viola as well as to harmony and counterpoint, but he is essentially self-taught as a composer. He started writing music as a teenager and although he initially adopted a straightforward, even conventional, tonal idiom, he began to take a serious interest in the compositional techniques of the European avant-garde from the early 1960s. He embraced serialism in particular as a liberating influence on his creative imagination, and he produced a substantial body of work during this period that quickly established him in Ireland as one of the most interesting younger figures of the day. In 1968 Kinsella was appointed Senior Assistant in the music department of Raidió Teilefís Éireann (RTÉ), the Irish national broadcasting authority, a position that allowed him to become widely acquainted with the latest developments in contemporary music, particularly through the International Rostrum of Composers organised under the auspices of UNESCO. But much of what he heard at these events began to strike him as dispiritingly similar in content, and he was increasingly persuaded that for many of his contemporaries conformity with current trends had become more P important than a desire to create out of inner conviction. As he found himself growing disillusioned with the avant-garde, his attitude to his own work began to change and he came to question the artistic validity of much of what he had written.

  • Shirley Jackson's “The Lottery” and Holocaust Literature
    humanities Article Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” and Holocaust Literature Michael Robinson Writing and Rhetoric Department, Harrington School of Communication and Media, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Rhode Island, Kingstown, RI 02881, USA; [email protected] Received: 12 January 2019; Accepted: 19 February 2019; Published: 25 February 2019 Abstract: Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” has been notorious since its first publication in 1948, but rarely, if ever, has it been read in light of its immediate historical context. This essay draws on literature, philosophy, and anthropology from the period to argue that Jackson’s story, which scholars have traditionally read through the lens of gender studies, invokes the themes of Holocaust literature. To support this argument, the essay explores imaginative Holocaust literature from the period by David Rousset, whose Holocaust memoir The Other Kingdom appeared in English translation in 1946, anthropological discourse from the period on scapegoating and European anti-Semitism, and critical discourse on the Holocaust and anti-Semitism from the period by Hannah Arendt and Theodor Adorno. The analysis finds that, in representing the phenomena of scapegoating and death selection in a small town in the US, Jackson’s story belongs to an abstract discourse on Holocaust-related themes and topics that was actively produced at midcentury, as evidenced partly by Rousset’s influential memoir. A master of the horror genre, Jackson could have drawn on her own experience of anti-Semitism, along with her known interest in the study of folklore, to contribute this chilling representation of the personal experience of death selection to a discourse on Holocaust-related themes.

  • The Prairie Wind Newsletter of the Illinois Chapter of the SCBWI
    The Prairie Wind Newsletter of the Illinois Chapter of the SCBWI Spring 2015 • From the Editor Do you think fictional characters need to be likable? In this issue, by coincidence, two of our contributors explore this topic. Molly Backes in her Writer’s Tip says: “Personally, I’m in favor of unlikable characters. We are writing about teenagers, after all! They’re not the most likable creatures in the universe. Lovable, sure. But not always likable.” Juliet Bond, in her review of Blake Snyder’s book Save the Cat: The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need for the Writer’s Bookshelf, says, “I’m personally drawn to characters that are a bit prickly, rebellious, and less than charming. But they have to be likable.” See what you think. In our previous issue Lisa Bierman said goodbye. In this issue our new co-regional advisor Deborah Topolski introduces herself: “I’m a prepublished member, still learning how to make inroads in my career . I’m on this journey to publication with you.” Another change in this issue is in the format of our Illustrator in the Spotlight column. A panel of Illinois illustrators has compiled a set of questions that each issue’s featured illustrator will answer. This time it’s Theresa Brandon, answering such questions as “Do you ever tuck little personal homages or details in your illustrations?” and “What gets in the way of your creativity?” Our Tale from the Front, the story of a first-time author, comes from Stefanie Lyons, author of Dating Down. Stefanie has a curious tale to tell: “My first book that my agent liked but thought should be my second book while I was working on my second-supposed-to-be-first book with her turned out to be my first book anyway.” Check out Season’s Crop, compiled by Tina Stoval and Natalie Ziarnik, for a list of ten books coming out this spring by Illinois authors.

Cette belle leçon, parfaitement solaire, à l'heure de la défiance universelle, se retrouve aussi dans le cinéma de Pedro Almodovar: la confiance ne devrait se donner qu'à l'étranger. Ni la relation au contexte, ni les liens de causalité rationalistes, ni les déterminismes culpabilisateurs des principales religions ne permettent d'ouvrir un débat sur le hasard puisqu'ils le contiennent et le neutralisent en lui donnant une valeur fantasmatique par toutes sortes de conjurations et de rituels sociaux.
