Early Iranians believed evil had to have a source outside of God, which led to the concept of an entity as powerful and utterly evil as God is potent and good. These two forces, good and evil, which have always vied for superiority, needed helpers in this struggle. According to the Zoroastrians, every entity had to take sides, from the cosmic level to the microcosmic self.
One of the results of this battle was that certain humans were thought to side with evil. Who were these allies of that great Evil Spirit? Women were inordinately singled out. Male healers were forbidden to deal with female health disorders because of the fear of the polluting power of feminine blood. Female healers, midwives, and shamans were among those who were accused of collaborating with the Evil Spirit, because they healed women. Men who worked to prepare the dead were also suspected of secret evil. Evil even showed up as animals such as frogs, snakes, and bugs of all sorts, which scuttled to the command of their wicked masters.
This first comprehensive study of the concept of evil in early Iran uncovers details of the Iranian struggle against witchcraft, sorcery, and other "evils," beginning with their earliest texts.
Автор: Elena Graf, Imke Mendoza, Barbara Sonnenhauser Название: Dekonstruktion und Konstruktion zwischen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft: Festschrift fuer Ulrich Schweier zum 60. Geburtstag ISBN: 386688544X ISBN-13(EAN): 9783866885448 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 51210.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: „‘Gibt es’ gibt’s nicht" – diese zutiefst skeptische Einstellung kennzeichnet Ulrich Schweier als Wissenschaftler und als Lehrer. Ein Phanomen wird so lange betrachtet, bis es kaum mehr zu erkennen ist, anders erscheint oder ganz verschwindet. Auf diesen radikalen dekonstruktivistischen Prozess folgt dann zuverlassig die Konstruktion, eine wunderbare Wiederauferstehung der verloren geglaubten Dinge – allerdings an ganz anderer, unvermuteter Stelle, in neuem Licht. Ob es das Gesetz der offenen Silben ist, das es vielleicht nie gegeben hat, im modernen Russischen vielleicht aber doch wieder da ist, die altostslavischkirchenslavische Diglossie, die sich bei genauer Betrachtung der Texte erst verliert und dann prototypisch verwandelt zuruckkommt, oder die aufgebrochene Kommunikationssituation, die den Rezipienten letztlich doch nicht einsam zurucklasst, sondern ihn in einen konstruktiven Ubersetzer verwandelt – Ulrich Schweier wendet dieses Prinzip konsequent auf alle sprachlichen Ebenen und Erscheinungen an: sei es die lautliche Seite einer Sprache, Texte und Intertexte, Semiotik oder Universalien. Dass durch diese Herangehensweise die Grenzen zu benachbarten Disziplinen wie Literaturwissenschaft und Kulturgeschichte leichtfu?ig uberschritten werden konnen, versteht sich quasi von selbst und ist in zahlreichen Arbeiten von Ulrich Schweier dokumentiert. Die Lust am standigen Hinterfragen einer Welt (bzw. ‘Welt’) gibt Ulrich Schweier an seine StudentInnen weiter, von der allerersten Stunde an. Dabei gelingt es ihm immer, seine HorerInnen geschickt vor dem Gefuhl der Frustration zu bewahren, das sich vor allem bei StudentInnen in ihren Anfangssemestern einstellen kann, wenn ihnen der Boden vermeintlich wissenschaftlich gesicherter Erkenntnisse rasant unter den Fu?en weggezogen wird. Ulrich Schweier lehrte und lehrt uns das Wichtigste, das ein Lehrer seinen SchulerInnen vermitteln kann und soll: eine unbandige Freude am Denken.

Описание: Soft tissue refers to tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body, not being bone. Soft tissue includes tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, fibrous tissues, fat, and synovial membranes (which are connective tissue), and muscles, nerves and blood vessels (which are not connective tissue). In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the composition, mechanisms of injury and repair of soft tissue. Topics discussed include the soft tissue biomechanics of diabetic foot ulcers; cellular and physiological soft tissue response in hip arthroplasty; peri-implant soft tissues in orthodontic anchorage; connecting tissue injuries and mechanical properties; MRI findings of myopathies in soft tissue; and soft tissue behaviour after mandibular symphysis bone graft harvesting.

Описание: From the critically acclaimed author of We Are the Ants and At the Edge of the Universe comes a mind-bending, riveting novel about a teen who was born to a virgin mother and realizes she has the power to heal--but that power comes at a huge cost. Sixteen-year-old Elena Mendoza is the product of a virgin birth. This can be scientifically explained (it's called parthenogenesis), but what can't be explained is how Elena is able to heal Freddie, the girl she's had a crush on for years, from a gunshot wound in a Starbucks parking lot. Or why the boy who shot Freddie, David Combs, disappeared from the same parking lot minutes later after getting sucked up into the clouds. What also can't be explained are the talking girl on the front of a tampon box, or the reasons that David Combs shot Freddie in the first place. As more unbelievable things occur, and Elena continues to perform miracles, the only remaining explanation is the least logical of all--that the world is actually coming to an end, and Elena is possibly the only one who can do something about it.

Gloopy is running toward adventure, and away from their home and friends who don't understand their creative talent. Bloom is desperately trying to return home to their lake, and avoid the terrible violence of the city. Instead, both Bloom and Gloopy find what they need in each other, and bravely return home to challenge their fears and create beauty in their own worlds. As Bloom and Gloopy skip through dimensions and encounter weeping giants, alligator islands, and a topsy turvy 2D world, they find comfort in each other and learn that sometimes, your greatest fear reveals where your strengths lie. Great for fans of Black Mirror. "Skip is a flurry of bold and vivid cartooning that pulls you through this tender story of friendship at heart-wrenching speeds. Molly layers every page with such a dense whimsicality that it left me wanting to go back and re-read so I could sink my eyes into the details again and again." --Sloane Leong, creator of Prism Stalker

Glimpses: A Poetic Memoir (Through the MDR Generator) began as a daily meditation practice of reading a poetic line from Eileen Tabios' Murder, Death, Resurrection, and then allowing the heart's response to flow without censorship. The meditations offer us a glimpse of Leny's life-long reflections on love, history, decolonization, healing trauma, finding belonging and purpose, and building community.
"Taking another poet's lines as her starting points, Leny creates mediations and meditations within which she tells her story and invites her readers to come in and dwell a while to contemplate what she has created: a retreat, a cocoon, a place in which to see oneself and to be seen, from which to spin forward and inspire other poetic awakenings."
