The Cusco region boasts a series of spectacular landscapes, from the high peaks of the Andes, which give way to the foothills surrounding the city itself, to the forests of the Amazon basin, with their breathtaking variety of plant and animal species.

  • Exploring How Things Take Shape Research Notes on Ethnography, Empirical Sensibility and the Baroque State
    Exploring How Things Take Shape Research Notes on Ethnography, Empirical Sensibility and the Baroque State. Penny Harvey - University of Manchester The Historical Baroque in Contemporary Peru - Illusion and Enthrallment The main square of Cusco was unusually busy and more unusual still the huge doors of the Cathedral were open, people pouring out from what must have been an important mass. Taking advantage of a rare opportunity to visit this building outside of the normal restrictions imposed by the tourist trade, I ducked in through a side entrance just as the main doors were slammed shut again. It was years since I‟d been inside and I‟d forgotten the sheer scale and intricacy of the space. The Cathedral over-awes as intended. Throughout the Continent these huge, ambitious spaces were of central importance in marking Spanish presence, in imposing Catholicism, in erasing the presence and influence of previous Gods and divine rulers, and paradoxically in offering people some kind of solace. This Cathedral was no exception. To build it the Spanish had destroyed an Inka palace/ceremonial site which nevertheless provided the foundations for the new building. They also brought stone from the fortress of Sacsayhuaman subjugating the very fabric of the Inka imperial capital in its public conversion to Catholicism. Construction had begun in 1560 but was not completed until 1664. The building itself presents the non-coherence of architectural style that is characteristic of many of these mega projects that took over a century to be finalised. In this case the Renaissance facade constrasts with the interior, funished over a century later, by then exemplifying the colonial Baroque with its intricate gold and silver altars, carved stone work and the world famous collection of paintings of what became known as the Cusco school.

  • Objection (Tango) - Shakira – Notes 
    Objection (Tango) - Shakira – Notes Activity type: vocabulary, gap fill, listening for specific words, rhyming words. Time: 40 mins. Note: Objection is taken from Shakira’s 2001 album “Laundry Service”. Its rhythm is similar to the Uruguayan-Argentinian tango La Cumparsita, a musical piece written by Uruguayan musician Gerardo Matos Rodríguez in 1919. La Cumparsita is one of the most famous and recognizable tango songs of all time; the Argentinean team marched to it in the Olympic Games of Sydney 2000. Pre-listening activities: 1) Give each student a copy of the worksheet. Students can work in pairs or small groups to complete Exercise 1) – the first to complete the exercise is the winner. Vocabulary note: In the song Shakira erroneously sings silicon /’sɪlɪkən/ (a chemical element), although she means silicone /’sɪlɪkəʊn/, in this context meaning breast implants! That part of the music video uses subtitles – correctly. Key: A - 2; B - 3; C - 5; D - 1; E - 6; F - 4. 2) Students do Exercise 2). Note: not all the words are direct rhymes. Key: irresistible – fixable name – care exception – attention mother - bother While-listening activities: 3) Play the first part of the song (as far as “But you don't even bother” - 59 seconds into the original recording) – students check, correct and complete the exercise. 4) Students do Exercise 3). Play the next part of the song (as far as “I’ve got to get away” - after 1’ 11” on the original recording) – students check, correct and complete the exercise. 5) Students do Exercise 4). Play the next part of the song, (as far as “Away from here” - at 2’ 21” on the original recording) – students check, correct and complete the exercise, and follow the lyrics.

  • The Michael Jackson of Two Or Three Noses Ago and the Michael Jackson of Today – Multiple Personalities Or Conceptual Metonymy?
    Jezikoslovlje 8.1 (2007): 27-44 ɱ 27 UDC 811.111'373.612.2'373.231 Original scientific paper Received on 06.11. 2007. Accepted for publication 28.11. 2007. Sanja Berberoviü Faculty of Philosophy University of Tuzla The Michael Jackson of two or three noses ago and the Michael Jackson of today – multiple personalities or conceptual metonymy? The paper deals with the construction of the figurative meaning of personal names in expressions of the type the X of Y, in which X is a personal name designating humans and Y designates a temporal period. Such expressions, used in connection with the original bearer of the name, are considered to be instances of partitive re- strictive modification. Applying the findings of Barcelona (2003, 2004) and Brdar and Brdar-Szabó (2007) concerning the figurative meaning of personal names, the paper illustrates that the ENTITY FOR ACTIVE ZONE metonymy is an essential tool in explaining how the figurative meaning of personal names arises in expressions of this type. As a result of partitive restrictive modification, the original bearer of the personal name is figuratively split into distinct individuals due to the ENTITY FOR ACTIVE ZONE metonymy. Key words: personal names, figurative meaning, partitive restrictive modifica- tion, the ENTITY FOR ACTIVE ZONE metonymy 1. Introduction Proper names have attracted the attention of linguists and philosophers alike for centuries. There are numerous linguistic and philosophical insights into proper names, each focusing on different aspects. Some of these theories have had wide application and have been of great importance, while others are merely unsuc- cessful attempts to construct a valid theory of proper nouns.
