L'onomàstica Grecollatina L’Onomàstica Grecollatina Agraïments Abans de començar, m’agradaria donar les gràcies a totes aquelles persones que m’han ajudat a realitzar la meva recerca i a tirar-la endavant, motivant-me en tot moment. Agraeixo les facilitats que em van donar les directores dels centres d’educació infantil i primària, Dolors Casamitjana (Gaziel) i Montse Homs (L’Estació). Així com la directora i cap d’estudis de l’escola de música, Dolors Vidal i Anna Maria Llandrich. També vull donar les gràcies al director de l’Institut i els professors i tutors que van voler ajudar-me a passar les enquestes als diferents grups i que ells mateixos van contestar. A més, vull agrair a en Marc Auladell, encarregat de l’Arxiu Municipal de Sant Feliu de Guíxols, tota la informació que em va fer arribar sobre la població de Sant Feliu i que va aportar idees per al meu treball. També vull donar les gràcies als meus pares, per haver-me ajudat i recolzat en tot moment. També gràcies a les meves cosines Fiona i Íngrid Duch, que m’han donat un cop de mà quan no sabia com realitzar segons quines coses, i que també m’han servit d’exemple a l’hora de fer un treball de recerca. També a l’Ariadna Pujol que ha tingut la paciència d’escoltar els meus dubtes del treball i que m’ha recolzat en molts moments a l’hora de realitzar-lo i a la Marina Respecta que m’ha acompanyat a deixar les enquestes als centres i que també m’ha animat quan tenia la sensació que no acabaria mai; a la seva mare, Maria Teresa Calabuig, que gràcies a ella he pogut realitzar les enquestes a la Universitat de Girona. Així com a en Carles Torrent que m’ha ajudat a realitzar el disseny de la portada. Finalment, moltíssimes gràcies a la meva tutora del treball,que des d’un bon principi m’ha guiat, ajudat aportant-me informació i solucionant dubtes a l’hora d’escriure en grec. M’ha orientat pel bon camí, s’ha mostrat en tot moment interessada pel meu treball. Gràcies per haver estat present quan ha estat necessari, i animant-me des de l’estiu a no deixar el treball per a l’últim moment. M’agradaria dedicar l’últim agraïment a quelcom veritablement especial: al treball de recerca en si mateix. Ja sé que és poc usual, però per molt que m’hagi portat maldecaps, preocupacions i nervis, en realitat ha sigut un llarg i interessant procés d’aprenentatge que m’ha ajudat a créixer i a tenir una mica més de coneixement sobre la meva curiositat dels orígens de les paraules. Moltes gràcies a tots.

  • The Thyroid in Art
    THE THYROID IN ART Luigi Massimino SENA Clinical Pathology Faculty of Medicine University of Turin (Italy) 1 TAKE ART AND PUT IT IN SCIENCE Art and science are different aspects of human creativity. Over the centuries, artists have made use of the expressive power of images to awaken both emotions and empathy, which are often universal. 2 The thyroid gland (tireos, oblong "shield" , but which in reality meant big stone used as a door or for shutting the wooden door: cover, defend with the shield) is located in a part of the human body, i.e., in the neck, making it clearly visible in the throat when enlarged (goiter from Latin guttur). The prevalence of goiter was already known in ancient times, but the writings that described it were almost always devoid of explanatory drawings. The representation of the goiter is illustrated in the numerous depictions of goitrous men, women and children in coins, sculptures, paintings, simple craft objects and even in forms of folklore that involved persons not engaged in the medical art. The depictions were the works of artists living in endemic areas, or of travelers who illustrated the reality they encountered. The size of the goiter has always provoked amazement or fear, feelings that are associated with the mystery surrounding its origin and function. Over the centuries, it has stimulated the imagination of people, while at the same time it has paved the way to understanding the historical relationship between disease and society (pathocoenosis). 3 PATHOCOENOSIS In 1969, Mirko Drazen Grmek (1924-2000) created the neologism pathocenose or pathocoenosis , that is a “community of diseases”: “the collection of pathological states present in a given population in a certain time and space”.

  • Stanford Housewrite
    2016 “stanford housewrite” Edited by Stephen Liu Written by Austin Brownlow, Stephen Liu, Benji Nguyen, Nathan Weiser, James Bradbury, Kyle Sutherlin, Alex Freed, Jennie Yang, Nikhil Desai, and Martina Fu PACKET 5 TOSSUPS 1. In 2013, a research team led by Peter Timms mapped this animal’s genome and sequenced the “holy grail” of its immune system, interferon gamma. Gilbert Price studied fossils of these animals to prove that they did not descend from, but rather lived contemporaneously with, a related “giant” species that went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene epoch. These animals are currently suffering from a massive outbreak of chlamydia, which causes an infection called “dirty tail”. They’re not gibbons, but 100 percent of the northern population of these animals is infected with a namesake endogenous (*) retrovirus. The male of this animal possesses velar vocal folds that enable it to produce bellows at anomalously low frequencies for its size. Phascolarctos cinereus is the species name of this animal, which has a seven foot long caecum that enables it to digest its sole food source. For 10 points, name these marsupials that sleep about 20 hours a day and eat eucalyptus leaves. ANSWER: koalas [accept Phascolarctos cinereus or P. cinereus before mentioned] 2. This author wrote about prophets returning from heaven “less discouraged and melancholy, because love and peace are holy and are coming to town.” A “woman soldier” in that poem shouts at the speaker that she killed him, but he replies, “You killed me…and I forgot, like you, to die.” This poet of “In Jerusalem” wrote that he loves “ancient love poems that guard the sick moon from smoke” in a work in which inadequacy of language causes the death of an animal that became “bloodied with my poem.” A prose poem by this man takes place on Hiroshima Day in the bombed-out streets of Beirut, and is entitled (*) Memory for Forgetfulness.

  • Introduction
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction Kimberley Christine Patton and John Stratton Hawley � “ ut though the gates of prayer (sha‘are tefillah) are closed, the gates of weeping (sha‘are dim’ah) are not closed.” Isn’t weeping a kind of Bprayer, a liquid entreaty? Yet it is not prayer, not utterance. Inchoate, messy, “running,” a sign of being “overwhelmed” or helpless, even unable to speak (“choked up”), how could tears in this Talmudic passage, from a tradi­ tion that so enshrines the oral and written holy word, supersede prayer? How could weeping, born in a matrix of inarticulate despair, beat out praying—in its richly embroidered tapestry of memory, petition, and praise—as a better portal to heaven? In any number of the traditions examined in this cross- cultural, diachronic volume, tears carry not only power but unique power: God is unable to ignore them, and the psalmist is compelled to remind Him of this: Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; keep not silence at my tears. On Tears in Religious Experience and Mythic Memory Like all human body fluids, tears, as they flow through the religious imagina­ tion, are richly charged with symbolic meaning and ritual efficacy. The shed­ ding of tears, a physiological function in response to intense emotion or physical pain, has metaphysical importance in religious thought and experi­ ence equal to that of other vital fluids that have borne far more intense schol­ arly scrutiny—the blood of sacrifice, childbirth, and menstruation, for example, or the charged fluids of semen or spit.

    Mamoli Zorzi and Manthorne (eds.) FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT WRITERS IN MUSEUMS 1798-1898 Edited by Rosella Mamoli Zorzi and Katherine Manthorne From Darkness to Light explores from a variety of angles the subject of museum ligh� ng in exhibi� on spaces in America, Japan, and Western Europe throughout the nineteenth and twen� eth centuries. Wri� en by an array of interna� onal experts, these collected essays gather perspec� ves from a diverse range of cultural sensibili� es. From sensi� ve discussions of Tintore� o’s unique approach to the play of light and darkness as exhibited in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, to the development of museum ligh� ng as part of Japanese ar� s� c self-fashioning, via the story of an epic American pain� ng on tour, museum illumina� on in the work of Henry James, and ligh� ng altera� ons at Chatsworth, this book is a treasure trove of illumina� ng contribu� ons. FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT The collec� on is at once a refreshing insight for the enthusias� c museum-goer, who is brought to an awareness of the exhibit in its immediate environment, and a wide-ranging scholarly compendium for the professional who seeks to WRITERS IN MUSEUMS 1798-1898 proceed in their academic or curatorial work with a more enlightened sense of the lighted space.

  • 2013 University of Toronto Toronto, Ontario, Canada
    Annual Meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association acla Global Positioning Systems April 4–7, 2013 University of Toronto Toronto, Ontario, Canada 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgments 4 Welcome and General Introduction 5 Daily Conference Schedule at a Glance 10 Complete Conference Schedule 12 Seminar Overview 17 Seminars in Detail 25 CFP: ACLA 2014 218 Index 219 Maps 241 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The organization of the ACLA 2013 conference has been the work of the students and faculty of the Centre for Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto. They designed the theme and the program, vetted seminars and papers, organized the schedule and the program, and carried out the seemingly endless tasks involved in a conference of this size. We would like to thank Paul Gooch, president of Victoria University, and Domenico Pietropaolo, principal of St. Michael’s College, for their generous donation of rooms. Their enthusiasm for the conference made it possible. The bulk of the program organizing at the Toronto end (everything to do with the assignment of rooms and the accommodation of seminars—a massive task) was done by Myra Bloom, Ronald Ng, and Sarah O’Brien. The heroic job they performed required them to set aside their own research for a period. Alex Beecroft and Andy Anderson did the organizing at the ACLA end and always reassured us that this was possible. We would like to acknowledge the generosity of the Departments of Classics, English, Philosophy, Religion, the Centre for Medieval Studies, the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies, and the Jackman Humanities Institute, all of which donated rooms; and the generous financial support accorded by the Faculty of Arts and Science, East Asian Studies, English, Philosophy, Medieval Studies, Classics, French, German, Diaspora and Transnational Studies (and Ato Quayson in particular), the Emilio Goggio Chair in Italian Studies, Spanish and Portuguese, and Slavic Studies.
