Описание: The 18th and 19th centuries in the Western Highlands were a time of upheaval and hardship for the clans of Scotland. Once protected by the clan chiefs, everything changed following the battle of Culloden in 1746. Bonnie Prince Charles used the Highland Jacobite warriors in an attempt to reclaim the Stuart throne and a united Great Britain. However, after several successful battles, the Jacobites were unable to fend off the larger and well-armed British in a final bloody defeat on the moor of Culloden. Following this defeat of the Jacobites, the British retaliated by inflicting great punishment on the Western Highland clans. These penalties greatly affected their lifestyle and their lives would never be the same.The Macleans and the Campbells, once warring clans, found themselves working together trying to survive the rule of the laird on the somewhat inhospitable environment of the Isle of Mull. In this informative tale there is birth, death, superstitions, religion, marriages, celebrations and struggles to survive.This Scottish tale explores the lives of Anna Maclean and Donald Campbell, my Scottish ancestors. Generally, there is an abundance of stories written about the rich and famous, but an inadequate supply of tales describing the life of the peasant.Anna, the Witch of Mull, might satisfy some of your curiosity about the life of poor farmers. No matter what country of origin during these centuries the poor had similar challenges trying to survive. Much research was done to portray the life of my ancestors as accurately as possible.
Experimental, provocative and largely ignored by art historians, the radical female artists of the German Democratic Republic
This important volume gathers 36 female artists from behind the Iron Curtain between the years 1961 and 1989, attempting a contextualization of nonconformist, female art production in the Eastern Bloc. Exploring how these artists produced work within the terms of mythology, protest and self-definition, The Medea Insurrection rewrites the male-dominated narrative of postwar European art.
Artists include: Magdalena Abakanowicz, Allerleirauh, Monika Andres, Tina Bara, Annemirl Bauer, Sibylle Bergemann, Geta Bratescu, Orshi Drozdik, Erfurt, Else Gabriel, Angela Hampel, Christa Jeitner, Magdalena Jetelov , Judit Kele, Bela Kol rov , Alena Kucerov , Angelika Kroker, Zofia Kulik, Verena Kyselka, Katalin Ladik, Natalia LL, Ana Lupas, Dora Maurer, Ewa Partum, Evelyn Richter, Zofia Rydet, Zorka S glov , Christine Schlegel, Gundula Schulze Eldowy, Cornelia Schleime, Adriena Simotov , Gabriele St tzer, Erika St rmer-Alex, Alina Szapocznikow, Karla Woisnitza, Hanne Wandtke and Doris Ziegler.

Автор: Gabriel Altmann, Reinhard Kohler Название: Forms and Degrees of Repetition in Texts: Detection and Analysis ISBN: 3110411954 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110411959 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 185890.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The volume presents objective methods to detect and analyse various forms of repetitions. Repetition of textual elements is more than a superficial phenomenon. It may even be considered as constitutive for units and relations in a text: on a primary level when no other way exists to establish a unit, and on a secondary, artistic level, where repetition is a consequence of the transfer of the equivalence principle.

Описание: The book presents methods for the objective analysis of poetic language. Common objects of literary studies such as rhythm, semantic explications, interpretation and personal impressions are avoided. Only those properties of poetic texts are taken into account that could be quantified. For all methods both statistical tests, theoretical derivations, and examples are presented.

When thirty-two-year-old actor Gregor Collins reluctantly interviewed for a job as a caregiver more out of a favor to a friend - he had no idea his life was about to change forever.
Seconds into a chance meeting in 2008 with, it would turn out, a world-renowned Holocaust refugee named Maria Altmann, there was an unexplainable magic in the air - it felt as if they had already met. And Collins was suddenly thrown into a situation with which he had never before been confronted: caring for someone other than himself.
Gregor offers us a personal and unprecedented look at Maria over the three intimate years he cared for her - her thrilling escape from the Nazis, her fight and subsequent win in the landmark Supreme Court Case to return original Gustav Klimt artwork that belonged to her family in Austria, and the extraordinary people she met along the way. But the real heart of the story transcends mere historical fact.
Through a refreshingly raw portrayal of their unlikely and unbreakable bond, imbued with humorous, candid anecdotes about his mercurial relationship with Hollywood, Gregor takes us on a deeply emotional journey of how he opened up his heart to a 92-year-old woman in need - and in turn experienced the love he had been searching for his entire life.

Описание: The present volume presents objective methods to detect and analyse various forms of repetitions. Repetition of textual elements is more than a superficial phenomenon. It may even be considered as constitutive for units and relations in a text: on a primary level when no other way exists to establish a unit – as in a musical composition (a motif can be recognised as such only after at least one repetition) – and on a secondary, artistic level, where repetition is a consequence of the transfer of the equivalence principle from the paradigmatic axis to the syntagmatic one as showed by R. Jakobson.The analysis of repetitive elements and structures in texts with objective mathematical means can serve several practical and theoretical purposes, among them:Characterisation of texts by means of parameters (measures, indicators) as taken from established mathematical statistics or specifically constructed ones in individual cases.Comparison of texts on the basis of their quantitative characteristics and classification of the texts by the results.Research for the laws of text, which control the mechanisms connected to text creation. As a remote aim, the construction of a theory of text consisting of a system of text laws. The final attempt of every possible quantitative text analysis is the construction of a text theory. The book illustrates this on examples of such laws and corresponding empirical tests.
