Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond Surviving Martyrdom

Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond Surviving Martyrdom

This book demonstrates that living martyrdom was an important spiritual aspiration in the late antique Latin west and argues that consequently attempts to define study or locate martyrdom must move away from conceptualizations that require or center on death. After an introduction that traces the persistence of living martyrs as real objects of spiritual devotion and emulation across the span of Christian history and discusses why such martyrs have been overlooked the book focuses on three significant authors from the late ancient Latin west for whom martyrdom did not require death: the Spanish poet Prudentius (c. 348–413) the senator-turned-ascetic Paulinus of Nola (353–431) and the influential North African bishop Augustine of Hippo (354–430). Through historically and literarily contextualized close readings of their work this book shows that each of these three authors attempted to create a new paradigm of martyrdom focused on living rather than dying for God. By focusing on these living martyrs we are able to see more clearly the aspirations and agendas of those who promoted them as martyrs and how their martyrological discourse illuminates the variety of ways that martyrdom is and can be mobilized (in any era) to construct new community-creating worldviews. Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond is an important resource for historians of Christianity scholars of religious studies and anyone interested in exploring or understanding martyrological discourse.

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Low-dimensional compounds are molecules that correspond to various shapes such as rod ladder (one-dimensional compounds) and sheet (two-dimensional compounds). They are ordinarily found in electromagnetic fields. Recently versatile low-dimensional compounds were proposed for use as components of various functional materials. These new-class low-dimensional compounds contribute significantly to industrial/materials sciences. The molecular architecture consisting of low-dimensional compounds can also be found in nature. One example is the cell cytoskeleton which is a network- or bundle-like architecture consisting of rod-like protein assemblies. The cell accomplishes its motility by structural transition of the cytoskeleton—that is phase transition of the architecture of low-dimensional compounds in response to some stimuli induces shape changes in cells. Another example is nacre which is composed of layered aragonite platelets usually a metastable CaCO3 polymorph. The layered inorganic platelets give nacre its stiffness and noncombustibility. Thus the molecular architecture of low-dimensional compounds in natural life contributes to their functionality. This book reviews various advanced studies on the application of low-dimensional compounds and is therefore important for the development of materials sciences and industrial technologies. | Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

The main values and principles of Transactional Analysis in its original psychodynamic matrix become a concrete experience in this book thanks to the accurate description of the daily practice of a long-experienced therapist: Anna Emanuela Tangolo. Analyzing several cases the author examines the clinical tools of Berne's group therapy and the analysis of dreams without however neglecting other important aspects such as preparing the setting or leading an interview. Particular relevance is given to the therapeutic relationship seen as the interweaving of an experience in order to send stimuli to the patient so as to re-structure his or her intrapsychic world through rigorous and precise inputs analysable in linguistic sequences. This book is meant not only for those who study psychotherapy but also for anyone who wants to learn about clinical TA and its functioning. | Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

Exile as a Continuum in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction Living in Translation

Exile as a Continuum in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction Living in Translation

Joseph Conrad is famous for being an unusual strange and even eccentric English writer. However despite his difference English criticism has primarily interpreted his fiction from the perspective of the English culture. In turn Polish criticism has portrayed Conrad as a Pole who happened to write in English. Considering Conrad’s transcultural background neither exclusively English nor an exclusively Polish writer this volume investigates the essential features of his expatriate writing as a form distinctly different from any writing done within a single culture. Conrad's unique contribution to English literature and sensibility stems from his ability to incorporate the complexity of the exilic condition without discussing it explicitly. Furthermore this book establishes Conrad's expatriation archetypes and examines them as they manifest themselves not only in a realistic but more importantly in a symbolic mode. Those archetypal features demonstrate themselves through Conrad’s thematic choices narrative structure and critical discourse that reflect his complex relationship with both the parent and the adopted reader. While the existence of these patterns in Conrad's fiction are not entirely obvious this book aims to illuminate Conrad’s contributions to the current critical debate concerning the place of the author in his/her own narrative. | Exile as a Continuum in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction Living in Translation

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions provides the first comprehensive analysis of stabilization which constitutes the new reference point for international intervention in unruly parts of the Global South. The notion of ‘stabilization’ and the practice of ‘stability operations’ experienced a revival over the last decade. The United Nations the European Union NATO as well as most member states of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development have embraced these terms in their foreign policy bureaucracies. The general disillusionment with the achievements of large-scale peacebuilding operations in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the failures of the so-called Arab Springs contributed to the success of this new discourse. Yet while widely mentioned and endorsed stabilization is rarely defined. This volume identifies common elements to stabilization doctrines and examines how they are applied in practice. It dissects how stabilization emerged and unfolds how different actors adopt it and for what purposes and how it is linked to the broader security and development discourses. Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions will be of great interest to scholars of Peacebuilding International Intervention and International Relations more generally. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Ethnopolitics. | Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal from Low Concentrated Effluents Study of System Configurations and Operational Features for Post-treatment of A

Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal from Low Concentrated Effluents Study of System Configurations and Operational Features for Post-treatment of A

This book reports the first systematic monitoring and modelling study on water availability water quality and seawater intrusion of the Shatt al-Arab River (SAR) on the border of Iraq and Iran where causes and concentration levels of salinity have not yet been fully understood let alone addressed leading to conflicting perceptions of its origin (external or internal) the natural conditions and the practices that can explain the current critical conditions. Current scientific knowledge on the SAR salinity problem is deficient partially due to the complex and dynamic interaction between marine and terrestrial salinity sources including return flows by water users of the different water sectors in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers upstream of the SAR. The development of a new series of monitoring stations and various modelling approaches helped to better understand the interactions between these different sources. The comprehensive and detailed dataset formed the basis for a validated analytical model that can predict the extent of seawater relative to other salinity sources in an estuary and for a hydrodynamic model that can predict salinity changes. The adaptability of the models to changing conditions makes them directly applicable by water managers. The procedure can be applied to other comparable systems. | Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal from Low Concentrated Effluents Study of System Configurations and Operational Features for Post-treatment of A
