Since the mid 19th century, scholars studying written or performed sacrificial acts have tried to capture its essence with concepts such as bribery (Edward Burnett Tylor), a gift to the gods (Marcel Mauss), an act of consensual violence (René Girard), or a matter of cooking (Charles Malamoud). The act of offering sacrifices is undoubtedly one of the most universal religious phenomena. From time immemorial, offering a sac- rifice has been considered the proper way to approach the godhead. Whether the goods to be offered were products from the harvest, the firstlings of the flock, flowers, or flour, the believers expressed their gratitude, begged for divine favours or tried to appease the godhead or the community.1 The trans- formations – or re-embodiments – of sacrifice that have taken place in many religions have included prayer, almsgiving, fasting, continence, and even mar- tyrdom. These acts not only imply an effort to offer something of value, but often also a form of self-surrender, a surrender to the divine. However, these sacrificial religious practices, as such, seem to have lost most of their relevance and resonance in the context of modern western societies. Secularization and the decline of institutional religion have rendered them obsolete, dissolving the specific contexts and discourses that made these practices self-evident and meaningful. But is this indeed the case? In this volume, consisting of a collection of stud- ies into contemporary forms and manifestations of sacrifice, or sacrifice-like activities, it is argued that religious phenomena such as sacrifice, even when they have lost their significance as a strictly religious ritual, have persisted in manifold manifestations. Philosophers and sociologists of religion have argued that the classical secularization thesis, which states that religion declines when science makes progress, is no longer tenable for large parts of the modern world. They view, on the one hand, secularization as an intrinsic outcome 1 Catherine Bell, Ritual: Perspectives and Dimensions (New York: Oxford University Press 1997), 112: “Some form of sacrifice can be found in almost all societies.” © joachim duyndam, et al., ���7 | doi ��.��63/9789004335530_00� This is an open access chapter distributed under the terms of the CC BY-NC 4.0 license. 4 Duyndam, Korte and Poorthuis of, especially, Christianity,2 and point, on the other, to a nascent post-secular condition of western societies.3 Without reaching any definitive conclusions about these tendencies, the studies that follow explore the centrality of rituals of sacrifice in a variety of areas, such as politics, daily and communal life, ethics, art, and popular culture. Indeed, the subtitle of this book has been aptly chosen: among the cases that will be covered are the Harry Potter book series, the movies of the Twilight

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.

  • Prinsjesdagpeiling 2017
    Rapport PRINSJESDAGPEILING 2017 Forum voor Democratie wint terrein, PVV zakt iets terug 14 september 2017 www.ioresearch.nl I&O Research Prinsjesdagpeiling september 2017 Forum voor Democratie wint terrein, PVV zakt iets terug Als er vandaag verkiezingen voor de Tweede Kamer zouden worden gehouden, is de VVD opnieuw de grootste partij met 30 zetels. Opvallend is de verschuiving aan de rechterflank. De PVV verliest drie zetels ten opzichte van de peiling in juni en is daarmee terug op haar huidige zetelaantal (20). Forum voor Democratie stijgt, na de verdubbeling in juni, door tot 9 zetels nu. Verder zijn er geen opvallende verschuivingen in vergelijking met drie maanden geleden. Zes op de tien Nederlanders voor ruimere bevoegdheden inlichtingendiensten Begin september werd bekend dat een raadgevend referendum over de ‘aftapwet’ een stap dichterbij is gekomen. Met deze wet krijgen Nederlandse inlichtingendiensten meer mogelijkheden om gegevens van internet te verzamelen, bijvoorbeeld om terroristen op te sporen. Tegenstanders vrezen dat ook gegevens van onschuldige burgers worden verzameld en bewaard. Hoewel het dus nog niet zeker is of het referendum doorgaat, heeft I&O Research gepeild wat Nederlanders nu zouden stemmen. Van de kiezers die (waarschijnlijk) gaan stemmen, zijn zes op de tien vóór ruimere bevoegdheden van de inlichtingendiensten. Een kwart staat hier negatief tegenover. Een op de zes kiezers weet het nog niet. 65-plussers zijn het vaakst voorstander (71 procent), terwijl jongeren tot 34 jaar duidelijk verdeeld zijn. Kiezers van VVD, PVV en de christelijke partijen CU, SGP en CDA zijn in ruime meerderheid voorstander van de nieuwe wet. Degenen die bij de verkiezingen in maart op GroenLinks en Forum voor Democratie stemden, zijn per saldo tegen.

  • The Aeneid with Rabbits
    The Aeneid with Rabbits: Children's Fantasy as Modern Epic by Hannah Parry A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Acknowledgements Sincere thanks are owed to Geoff Miles and Harry Ricketts, for their insightful supervision of this thesis. Thanks to Geoff also for his previous supervision of my MA thesis and of the 489 Research Paper which began my academic interest in tracking modern fantasy back to classical epic. He must be thoroughly sick of reading drafts of my writing by now, but has never once showed it, and has always been helpful, enthusiastic and kind. For talking to me about Tolkien, Old English and Old Norse, lending me a whole box of books, and inviting me to spend countless Wednesday evenings at their house with the Norse Reading Group, I would like to thank Christine Franzen and Robert Easting. I'd also like to thank the English department staff and postgraduates of Victoria University of Wellington, for their interest and support throughout, and for being some of the nicest people it has been my privilege to meet. Victoria University of Wellington provided financial support for this thesis through the Victoria University Doctoral Scholarship, for which I am very grateful. For access to letters, notebooks and manuscripts pertaining to Rosemary Sutcliff, Philip Pullman, and C.S. Lewis, I would like to thank the Seven Stories National Centre for Children's Books in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Oxford University. Finally, thanks to my parents, William and Lynette Parry, for fostering my love of books, and to my sister, Sarah Parry, for her patience, intelligence, insight, and many terrific conversations about all things literary and fantastical.

Honey, Master of Science Utah State University, 2020 Major Professor: Dr. Eric César Morales Program: American Studies This paper examines the shifting portrayals of Pacific Islanders in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) across three generations. As both a popular and historically racially problematic venue, WWE’s politically incorrect programming has played an underappreciated and under examined role in representing the USA. Although 4 many different groups have been portrayed by gross stereotypes in WWE, this paper uses the family of Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson—the Samoan Dynasty—as a case study. The WWE originally presented Pacific Islanders using the most offensive stereotypes, and the first two generations of the Samoan Dynasty had to “play Indian” or cosign onto gross representations of their people to be recognized by American audiences unfamiliar with representations of Pacific Islanders.

Sri Madhawacharya, the foremost Vaishnawa philosopher, who is the last of the three great Teachers,- Sri Shankara, Sri Ramanuja and Sri Madhwa,- is so far practically unknown to the English-reading public of India. This is, therefore the first attempt to present his philosophy to the wider public. Madhwa philosophy has got two aspects, one universal and the other, particular. I have tried to place before the readers both these aspects. I have re-assessed the values of Madhwa and other philosophies, and have tried to find out also the greatest common factor,-an angle of vision which has not been systematically adopted by any body.

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.
