ANZAMEMS 2017 Abstracts
ANZAMEMS 2017 abstracts Catherine Abou-Nemeh Victoria University of Wellington “Opening the King’s Body: Autopsy and Anatomy in Early Modern Paris” On 1 September 1715, King Louis XIV of France died in his bed in Versailles. The next day several physicians, anatomists, and attendees assembled in the palace to carry out a post-mortem examination of the deceased monarch. In addition to the Dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine Jean- Baptiste Doye, Guy Fagon (the king’s head physician) and Georges Mareschal (the king’s first- surgeon) led the dissection. This paper situates Louis’ autopsy in the context of late seventeenth and early eighteenth century anatomical practices in Paris. In so doing, I will assess the meaning and status of autopsy, and discuss its relation to royal power and anatomical knowledge. Anya Adair Yale University “The Post-Mortem Mobility of Dead Text: Mouvance and the Early English Legal Preface.” The introduction to a medieval law code does important rhetorical work: among other things, it must convince its audience of the justice of the laws that follow. For authority on this matter, the legal preface (like so many literary texts) often relies on the invocation of an imagined past, founding its claim on past codes, past kings, and a shared sense of stable legal history. Yet the law code itself moves through time in a very different way: in strictly legal terms, the most recent code must take precedence, overriding and erasing past laws. Laws look forward, not back. This paper explores some of the consequences of the temporal tension between prologue and laws, and traces its effects into the ways that early medieval law codes were disseminated and preserved in the manuscript record. -

CHAPTER 4 DATA ANALYSIS In this chapter, the main focus of the analysis is the beasts’ character and name divided into five classifications of beasts’ category. The five classifications are as follows: (1) XXXXX – Known wizard killer / impossible to train or domesticate, (2) XXXX – Dangerous / requires specialist knowledge / skilled wizard may handle, (3) XXX – Competent wizard should cope, (4) XX – Harmless / may be domesticated, (5) X – Boring (Rowling, 2001, p.xxii). This classification helps the writer to simplify the analysis of the beasts’ character using charactonym approach. It also shows that J. K. Rowling’s purpose of using some magical names to characterize the proper name of the beasts’ character. This chapter is divided into two parts in accordance to the two problem formulations presented earlier in the introduction chapter. The first part is the distinctive traits of magical creatures found in J. K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them represented by their names, and the second part is the charactonym of the characters based on their traits. 4.1. The Distinctive Traits of Magical Creatures found in J. K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them This part discusses the distinctive traits of the magical creatures in the book. The writer divides the discussion based on the class of the beasts to make the discussion easier to follow. 4.1.1. The distinctive traits of XXXX class beast 20 In this class, the beasts are described as dangerous. These beasts are suggested for the special knowledgeable person or skilled wizard who can handle these kinds of beasts. -

The Treatment of Children in the Novels of Charles
THE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN THE NOVELS OF CHARLES DICKENS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY CLEOPATRA JONES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ATLANTA, GEORGIA AUGUST 1948 ? C? TABLE OF CONTENTS % Pag® PREFACE ii CHAPTER I. REASONS FOR DICKENS' INTEREST IN CHILDREN ....... 1 II. TYPES OF CHILDREN IN DICKENS' NOVELS 10 III. THE FUNCTION OF CHILDREN IN DICKENS' NOVELS 20 IV. DICKENS' ART IN HIS TREATMENT OF CHILDREN 33 SUMMARY 46 BIBLIOGRAPHY 48 PREFACE The status of children in society has not always been high. With the exception of a few English novels, notably those of Fielding, child¬ ren did not play a major role in fiction until Dickens' time. Until the emergence of the Industrial Revolution an unusual emphasis had not been placed on the status of children, and the emphasis that followed was largely a result of the insecure and often lamentable position of child¬ ren in the new machine age. Since Dickens wrote his novels during this period of the nineteenth century and was a pioneer in the employment of children in fiction, these facts alone make a study of his treatment of children an important one. While a great deal has been written on the life and works of Charles Dickens, as far as the writer knows, no intensive study has been made of the treatment of children in his novels. All attempts have been limited to chapters, or more accurately, to generalized statements in relation to his life and works. -

Chapter One: The Wheel Turns It’s the world you know: neon shining in puddles, tired-eyed people waiting in laundromats, smog and bad paychecks, student loans that teach you more about Sisyphus than any of the world mythology classes they paid for, apartment buildings huddling in the shadow of the glass- and-steel towers of the mighty. But it’s also not the world you know. Look in the shadows: There’s a vampire looking through the laundromat window, sizing up the potential meals inside. Across the skin of the world, ferocious warrior-wolves throw themselves howling into battle against the corrosive spirit of the smog. In a well-appointed office you can’t find with mundane directions, a magician spins numbers into power, converting your loans into binding chains of control you can never, ever escape. The last faeries huddle and dream in the apartment building, while ghosts and demons drink in the sins of the skyscraper. This is the World of Darkness, a dark reflection of the modern age where monsters and magic hide away in the shadows. But it wasn’t always like this. The Age of Legends The night people tell a hundred stories to explain where they came from, and how the world used to be. The vampires and demons speak of curses hurled by a wrathful God. The werewolves sing of a better age when the elements of the Triat were in harmony. The mages whisper of the paths of the Wyck burning reality into definition out of primal chaos. The last of faerie-kind speak of a world that dreamed itself into being, and an age of heroes and nightmares and great wars that shook the cosmos. -
Powered by the Dark Kindred of the East
Powered by the Dark Kindred of the East This is a PbtA hack for Kindred of the East. Read Apocalypse World or Monsterhearts for the fundamentals of *World games, particularly the philosophy of how to run them. Short version: be a fan of the PCs, fuck with them relentlessly to keep the story hopping, don’t sweat the piddly shit, treat NPCs like stolen cars (you can have fun with them but you can’t keep ‘em), who really gives all that much of a shit about combat turn order, and when PCs miss a roll, either fuck them with harm or a Condition or give someone an Edge for seeing them screw up, or do something to kick the story into a higher gear. There are more details in Storyteller’s section, below. This isn’t a stand-alone product. You need the Kindred of the East hardback to use this, because it doesn’t reproduce any setting information or details on what half of the game’s various terms mean. Language note: The Hungry Dead This document chooses to omit the term “Kuei-jin” as a well-meaning but nonetheless racist kludge dating back to the 1990s. It’s a nonsense-word which I’ve never seen do anything but make speakers of the languages involved visibly cringe. Instead I’ve chosen to default to describing the vampires of Asia as the Hungry Dead, with alternative uses encompassing Gui Ren, Wan Kuei, or simply as “vampires.” Where the familiar Western vampires of Vampire: the Masquerade are discussed, they’re described as Kindred. -

The art by Emanuela Lupacchino and Guillermo Ortego, while not particularly innovative, is quite good. Super fun comics! Along the way, Archer is guided by visions of Ivar, whom he first mistakenly believes is God or an agent of Heaven. I felt like the art in this book was a step up over the previous volume. Ray rated it really liked it Nov 12, Universal Conquest Wiki. Also, I'm not sure it was meant to be read that way, but he loses all the previous Geomancers he's supposed to be protecting. See all. They are quirky enough to play well off each other. Wish there was more to this run! Fred Van Lente. Otherwise, I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book. Adding Gilad was a nice Archer & Armstrong: Book 2 in world building but I wish there were more quiet moments. By adjusting his eyes for aim, he is an expert marksman and archer with any gun or bow-based weapon. Eventually, he gains enough control over his rage Archer & Armstrong: Book 2 act clandestinely when he must. His brother Armstrong, on the other hand, likes to read poetry and drink beer.
