Battle and Self-Sacrifice in a Bengali Warrior’s Epic: Lausen’s Quest to be a Raja in Dharma Ma2gal* INTRODUCTION Plots and Themes harma Ma2gal are long, narrative Bengali poems that explain and justify the worship of Lord Dharma as the D eternal, formless, and supreme god. Surviving texts were written between the mid-seventeenth and the mid-eighteenth centuries. By examining the plots of Dharma Ma2gal, I hope to describe features of a precolonial Bengali warriors” culture. I argue that Dharma Ma2gal texts describe the career of a hero and raja, and that their narratives seem to be designed both to inculcate a version of warrior culture in Bengal, and to contain it by requiring self-sacrifice in both battle and “truth ordeals.” Dharma Ma2gal *I thank Ralph W.

An Italian sacrifice to the COVID-19 epidemic. Eur Respir J 2020; 55: 2001445 [https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.01445-2020]. As reported by Newsweek magazine on 4 April 2020 [1], coronavirus has killed over 100 doctors and nurses around the world, nearly half of whom are reported to be in Italy. This report, however, underestimated the size of the problem. To date, 151 doctors and more than 40 nurses have died in Italy from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Overall, infection rates among healthcare workers in Italy and Spain are reported to be 9% and 14%, respectively, while in China [2] and other part of the world this number was lower. There is no clear answer yet as to why Italian doctors have been so badly affected, but several factors may have played a role.

  • The Oral Poetics of Professional Wrestling, Or Laying the Smackdown on Homer
    Oral Tradition, 29/1 (201X): 127-148 The Oral Poetics of Professional Wrestling, or Laying the Smackdown on Homer William Duffy Since its development in the first half of the twentieth century, Milman Parry and Albert Lord’s theory of “composition in performance” has been central to the study of oral poetry (J. M. Foley 1998:ix-x). This theory and others based on it have been used in the analysis of poetic traditions like those of the West African griots, the Viking skalds, and, most famously, the ancient Greek epics.1 However, scholars have rarely applied Parry-Lord theory to material other than oral poetry, with the notable exceptions of musical forms like jazz, African drumming, and freestyle rap.2 Parry and Lord themselves, on the other hand, referred to the works they catalogued as performances, making it possible to use their ideas beyond poetry and music. The usefulness of Parry-Lord theory in studies of different poetic traditions tempted me to view other genres of performance from this perspective. In this paper I offer up one such genre for analysis —professional wrestling—and show that interpreting the tropes of wrestling through the lens of composition in performance provides information that, in return, can help with analysis of materials more commonly addressed by this theory. Before beginning this effort, it will be useful to identify the qualities that a work must possess to be considered a “composition in performance,” in order to see if professional wrestling qualifies. The first, and probably most important and straightforward, criterion is that, as Lord (1960:13) says, “the moment of composition is the performance.” This disqualifies art forms like theater and ballet, works typically planned in advance and containing words and/or actions that must be performed at precise times and following a precise order.

  • An Introduction to and Themes from C.S. Lewis' the Abolition Of
    Summer Institute Dallas Baptist University in Christian Scholarship Dr. Davey Naugle An Introduction to and Themes from C. S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man Introduction to the Book: 1. Historical Background to The Abolition of Man The book originated during WWII when Lewis was asked by the University of Durham to present the Riddell Memorial Lectures on February 24-26, 1943. They were actually given, not in the city of Durham, but further north in the village of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in the evening of these three days. The lectures were published in a book later that same year by Oxford University Press. 2. The Theme of The Abolition of Man One of the best defenses of the natural law tradition in the 20th century. Natural law is the notion that there is an innate or native understanding of right and wrong that is the possession of every human being. St. Paul explains the idea in Romans 2: 14-16. Rom. 2:14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, Rom. 2:15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, Rom. 2:16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. Lewis summarizes the natural law tradition, “written on the heart” in all its Judeo- Christian, Greco-Roman glory, and thus he stands in the tradition of the giants of Western civilization such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas.

  • Action Within a Relationship: a Phenomenology of Sacrifice
    Sacrifice – Action within a Relationship: A Phenomenology of Sacrifice Claudia Mariéle Wulf 1 Introduction A young woman had become entangled in drug culture. Nothing had warned her about the consequences of drug abuse for the rest of her life, nor about the effects it was to have on her parents and younger sister. She had closed her- self off from her family and friends, so her mother had no longer any access to her. Her mother prayed. This, however, was not enough. Slowly but surely, the mother began to change. First, she stopped eating what she most enjoyed. It was a silent offering for her daughter, who failed to understand. Instead, the girl replied: “It doesn’t affect me whether you eat what you like or not!”. Then her mother started copying her daughter’s way of dressing. She roamed the streets in old and shabby shoes, she dyed her hair black like her daughter had done, something which was quite alien to herself. Initially, her daughter just laughed at her. Then she fell silent. She knew what it meant to her mother to be a laugh- ing stock for the people, because of her shoddy appearance. When she fully realized that her mother had made these sacrifices in order to show her how close she was to her, her mother’s love touched her and she returned home. Is this the sort of sacrifice we are talking about here? Does sacrifice mean giving up yourself in order to save somebody else? Does it mean offering your- self as a sacrifice to God? Does God want – or even ask for – such sacrifice? The example shows that in order to be meaningful, a sacrifice has to be related to someone: To God, or to another human being.

  • 2018/19 Annual Report the Shadow of STIGMA People with Mental Health Challenges Say the Stigma Is Worse Than the Illness
    Treatment and Support for children, youth and families. 2018/19 Annual Report The shadow of STIGMA People with mental health challenges say the stigma is worse than the illness. Meet Ken Client talks Stigma When it comes to STIGMA, I think about feelings or misunderstandings that usually come from fear or anger. For instance, anyone who is angry at an addict, or who believes addicts should be treated like criminals or lesser-than, those feelings probably come from fear. And I think that fear comes from a lack of understanding. You have to ask, ‘Why is a person an addict? Why are they willing to sacrifice so much?’ As soon as you’re willing to ask those questions, you’ll begin to understand and break down the stigma toward people who are addicts and who are struggling. And if we want to see all of us grow in terms of quality of life, our quality as people, as individuals, we need to take care of one another – no matter what that looks like. If you see someone suffering, it hurts all of us to simply look down your nose at them. It’s simple. If you want the world to be a better place, if you want to be a better person, try to make things better for people around you. Sometimes that’s as simple as listening to a person and really trying to understand their situation. Anyone who is willing to listen, is already making things better for those who are misunderstood. And it breaks down the fear and the anger.
