How Kings are Made, How Kingship Changes : A Study of Ritual and Ritual Change in Pre-Colonial Owamboland, Namibia

This study discusses the legitimacy basis of political power and its changes in historical African societies. It starts from Luc de Heusch s tenet that political power required a legitimacy basis of a spiritual kind, often formulated as sacred kingship. In ancient and pre-literate societies such kings were held to be responsible for the fertility of man, land and cattle. The king was a paradoxical figure, symbolising society, but standing above it, while simultaneously being its victim by being ritually killed at old age. This was also how Owambo sacred kings were conceived. De Heusch suggested that African kings derived their power over fertility from having been made sacred monsters in the rituals of installation. With the example of Owambo kingship, this study argues that the transgressive and monstrous aspect is only one of several dimension of a king s sacredness and brings out the nurturing and symbolically female aspect, identified but not analysed further by de Heusch. In the Owambo kingly installation a king-elect was made sacred, and part of it was that a link was ritually created to the early owners of the land. Their consent made it possible for the king to promote fertility and to appropriate power emblems needed for ruling. In the kingdom of Ondonga the early owners of the land were the spirits of early Bushman inhabitants and those of an early kingly clan, both neglected in public memory. The sacred dimension of kingship was further augmented when kings manipulated and appropriated rain rituals and initiation rituals, both of which were related to fertility. The study argues that even though there were aspects of the sacred monster in Owambo kingship, its manifestation was, in part, a distortion of the reciprocal aspect of kingship that was expressed in the homage paid to various ancestor spirits. A change in succession practices from ritual regicide to political assassination took place concomitant with the introduction of firearms, and this broke the sacrificial aspect of sacred kingship paving the way for a more predatory form of kingship while the sacred status of the king was retained.

Pietismin kuva - ikkuna yksityiseen hengellisyyteen : Johann Arndtin opetukset pietistisen embleemin perustana

The image of Pietism a window to personal spirituality. The teachings of Johann Arndt as the basis of Pietist emblems The Pietist effect on spiritual images has to be scrutinised as a continuum initiating from the teachings of Johann Arndt who created a protestant iconography that defended the status of pictures and images as the foundation of divine revelation. Pietist artworks reveal Arndtian part of secret, eternal world, and God. Even though modern scholars do not regarded him as a founding father of Pietism anymore, his works have been essential for the development of iconography, and the themes of the Pietist images are linked with his works. For Arndt, the starting point is in the affecting love for Christ who suffered for the humankind. The reading experience is personal and the words point directly at the reader and thus appear as evidence of the guilt of the reader as well as of the love of God. Arndt uses bounteous and descriptive language which has partially affected promoting and picturing of many themes. Like Arndt, Philipp Jakob Spener also emphasised the heart that believes. The Pietist movement was born to oppose detached faith and the lack of the Holy Ghost. Christians touched by the teachings of Arndt and Spener began to create images out of metaphors presented by Arndt. As those people were part of the intelligentsia, it was natural that the fashionable emblematics of the 17th century was moulded for the personal needs. For Arndt, the human heart is manifested as a symbol of soul, personal faith or unbelief as well as an allegory of the burning love for Jesus. Due to this fact, heart emblems were gradually widely used and linked with the love of Christ. In the Nordic countries, the introduction of emblems emanated from the gentry s connections to the Central Europe where emblems were exploited in order to decorate books, artefacts, interiors, and buildings as well as visual/literal trademarks of the intelligentsia. Emblematic paintings in the churches of the castles of Venngarn (1665) and Läckö (1668), owned by Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie, are one of the most central interior paintings preserved in the Nordic countries, and they emphasise personal righteous life. Nonetheless, it was the books by Arndt and the Poet s Society in Nurnberg that bound the Swedish gentry and the scholars of the Pietist movement together. The Finnish gentry had no castles or castle churches so they supported county churches, both in building and in maintenance. As the churches were not private, their iconography could not be private either. Instead, people used Pietist symbols such as Agnus Dei, Cor ardens, an open book, beams, king David, frankincense, wood themes and Virtues. In the Pietist images made for public spaces, the attention is focused on pedagogical, metaphorical, and meaningful presentation as well as concealed statements.

Beyond Divided Territory::How Changing Understandings of Public Space in Northern Ireland can Facilitate New Identity Dynamics

The sectarian geography of Northern Ireland, whereby the majority of the population live in areas predominated by one religion or the other, is typically assumed to straightforwardly reflect the territorial identities of local residents. This conflation of place and identity neglects the role of place in actively shaping and changing the behaviours occurring within them. The present paper uses new developments in the area of social psychology to examine three case studies of place identity in Northern Ireland and explore the possibilities for change. A large scale survey of the display of flags and emblems across Northern Ireland demonstrates the extent of visible ter-ritorialisation, but also the relationship between understandings of space and the acceptability of these displays. Secondly, analysis of interviews with the Orange Or-der and nationalist residents concerning the Drumcree dispute illustrates how differ-ent constructions of space are used to claim and counterclaim rights to display iden-tity. Finally analysis of media and interview accounts of the St Patrick’s Day event in Belfast illustrate how new understandings of shared space can negate territorial identities and facilitate coexistence in the same place and facilitate good relations.

Violence and Commemoration in the New Northern Ireland: Space, Memory and Management

On June 27th 2012, the Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland and former IRA commander, Martin McGuinness shook hands with Queen Elizabeth II for the first time at an event in Belfast. For many the gesture symbolised the consolidation of Northern Ireland's transition to peace, the meeting of cultures and traditions, and hope for the future. Only a few weeks later however violence spilled onto the streets of north and west Belfast following a series of commemorative parades, marking a summer of hostilities. Those hostilities spread into a winter of protest, riot and discontent around flags and emblems and a year of tensions and commemorative-related violence marked again by a summer of rioting and protest in 2013. Outwardly these examples present two very different pictures of the 'new' Northern Ireland; the former of a society moving forward and putting the past behind it and the latter apparently divided over and wedded to different constructions of the past. Furthermore they revealed two very different 'places', the public handshake in the arena of public space; the rioting and fighting occurring in spaces distanced from the public sphere. This paper has also illustrated the difficulties around the ‘public management’ of conflict and transition as many within public agencies struggle with duties to uphold good relations and promote good governance within an environment of political strife, hostility and continuing violence.

This paper presents the key findings and implications of an exploratory project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, explored the phenomenon of commemorative-related violence in Northern Ireland. We focus on 1) why the performance or celebration of the past can sometimes lead to violence in specific places; 2) map and analyse the levels of commemorative related violence in the past 15 years and 3) look at the public management implications of both conflict and transition at a strategic level within the public sector.

Características agrometeorológicas da cultura de soja (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) variedade Candeias em Paragominas – PA

O Município de Paragominas pertence à Mesorregião Sudeste Paraense (03° 00' 00” S e 47° 21' 30" W) onde há toda uma área já alterada por desmatamentos e pastagens apenas à espera de ser incorporada ao processo produtivo agrícola..A cultura da soja tem importância significativa para a economia nacional, sendo um dos principais produtos agrícolas de exportação e geração de divisas,, pertencente à família das leguminosas, se adapta em uma ampla faixa de climas, podendo ser cultivada em todos os tipos de solo. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar as condições agrometeorológicas durante o ciclo vegetativo da soja em Paragominas - PA. Nesta área foi construída uma torre meteorológica automática de 4 metros de altura, sendo a fazenda Boi branco localizada a 03°02´15´´S e 47°17´56´´W e instalada uma estação com medidas a cada (5) cinco minutos das seguintes variáveis: temperatura do ar (Tar), umidade específica do ar (q), temperatura do solo (Tsolo), umidade do solo (Usolo), velocidade do vento (W), direção do vento (D), radiação solar incidente (Sin), radiação solar refletida (Sout), saldo de radiação (Rn) e fluxo de calor no solo (G) e precipitação. Variações microclimáticas têm efeitos bastante diretos no desenvolvimento da planta. As coletas realizadas entre fevereiro a início de junho de 2006 mostram que os dias 84, 98 e 126 foram os dias de maior precipitação e os dias 70 e 154 e 161 não houve chuva. De acordo com o desenvolvimento do plantio observamos que nos meses de fevereiro a início de abril a umidade específica máxima do ar se manteve elevada 21,0 g/Kg. A jornada da temperatura do ar máxima se manteve entre 23,5 ºC e 32,5 ºC acompanhando o desenvolvimento da cultura. A temperatura média do solo em três medidas (5, 10 e 20 cm), observou-se que as temperaturas estão entre 25 ºC a 35 ºC. No início do plantio a velocidade do vento estava por volta de 3 m/s decrescendo, e no final do cultivo encontrava-se 2,5 m/s. No período de floração a velocidade se manteve estável o que contribui para a dispersão de pólen e sementes. O vento vem de todas as direções, entretanto, o vento é predominante de nordeste. Quando o solo ainda se encontra completamente nu, o albedo é elevado, pois a radiação que entra no sistema é a mesma que sai. Quando o plantio começa a se desenvolver o albedo tende a diminuir, pois a quantidade de radiação solar que chega ao sistema parte é refletida e outra absorvida pela superfície. A umidade média do solo em três medidas (10, 20 e 30 cm), onde observamos que a umidade está entre 0,2 m⁄m³ a 0,45 m⁄m³. O fluxo de calor no solo a 10 cm apresentou picos em torno de -135 W/m2 e 55 W/m2 (7 as 18 h) e a 20 cm apresentou picos em torno de -25 W/m2 e 45 W/m2 (7 as 18 h). O sinal positivo representa transferência de calor do ar para o solo e o fluxo foi da superfície para as camadas mais internas do solo. Quando analisamos a evapotranspiração estimada notamos que foi inferior do que a evapotranspiração medida, sendo o pico da evapotranspiração estimada 4,0 mm⁄dia e a evapotranspiração medida 8,8 mm⁄dia. Quando analisamos a regressão linear a evapotranspiração estimada foi inferior a evapotranspiração medida.

A Comparative Study of Two Semantic Systems: Body Russian and Russian Phraseology

Grigorij Kreidlin (Russia). A Comparative Study of Two Semantic Systems: Body Russian and Russian Phraseology. Mr. Kreidlin teaches in the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics of the State University of Humanities in Moscow and worked on this project from August 1996 to July 1998. The classical approach to non-verbal and verbal oral communication is based on a traditional separation of body and mind. Linguists studied words and phrasemes, the products of mind activities, while gestures, facial expressions, postures and other forms of body language were left to anthropologists, psychologists, physiologists, and indeed to anyone but linguists. Only recently have linguists begun to turn their attention to gestures and semiotic and cognitive paradigms are now appearing that raise the question of designing an integral model for the unified description of non-verbal and verbal communicative behaviour. This project attempted to elaborate lexical and semantic fragments of such a model, producing a co-ordinated semantic description of the main Russian gestures (including gestures proper, postures and facial expressions) and their natural language analogues. The concept of emblematic gestures and gestural phrasemes and of their semantic links permitted an appropriate description of the transformation of a body as a purely physical substance into a body as a carrier of essential attributes of Russian culture - the semiotic process called the culturalisation of the human body. Here the human body embodies a system of cultural values and displays them in a text within the area of phraseology and some other important language domains. The goal of this research was to develop a theory that would account for the fundamental peculiarities of the process. The model proposed is based on the unified lexicographic representation of verbal and non-verbal units in the Dictionary of Russian Gestures, which the Mr. Kreidlin had earlier complied in collaboration with a group of his students. The Dictionary was originally oriented only towards reflecting how the lexical competence of Russian body language is represented in the Russian mind. Now a special type of phraseological zone has been designed to reflect explicitly semantic relationships between the gestures in the entries and phrasemes and to provide the necessary information for a detailed description of these. All the definitions, rules of usage and the established correlations are written in a semantic meta-language. Several classes of Russian gestural phrasemes were identified, including those phrasemes and idioms with semantic definitions close to those of the corresponding gestures, those phraseological units that have lost touch with the related gestures (although etymologically they are derived from gestures that have gone out of use), and phrasemes and idioms which have semantic traces or reflexes inherited from the meaning of the related gestures. The basic assumptions and practical considerations underlying the work were as follows. (1) To compare meanings one has to be able to state them. To state the meaning of a gesture or a phraseological expression, one needs a formal semantic meta-language of propositional character that represents the cognitive and mental aspects of the codes. (2) The semantic contrastive analysis of any semiotic codes used in person-to-person communication also requires a single semantic meta-language, i.e. a formal semantic language of description,. This language must be as linguistically and culturally independent as possible and yet must be open to interpretation through any culture and code. Another possible method of conducting comparative verbal-non-verbal semantic research is to work with different semantic meta-languages and semantic nets and to learn how to combine them, translate from one to another, etc. in order to reach a common basis for the subsequent comparison of units. (3) The practical work in defining phraseological units and organising the phraseological zone in the Dictionary of Russian Gestures unexpectedly showed that semantic links between gestures and gestural phrasemes are reflected not only in common semantic elements and syntactic structure of semantic propositions, but also in general and partial cognitive operations that are made over semantic definitions. (4) In comparative semantic analysis one should take into account different values and roles of inner form and image components in the semantic representation of non-verbal and verbal units. (5) For the most part, gestural phrasemes are direct semantic derivatives of gestures. The cognitive and formal techniques can be regarded as typological features for the future functional-semantic classification of gestural phrasemes: two phrasemes whose meaning can be obtained by the same cognitive or purely syntactic operations (or types of operations) over the meanings of the corresponding gestures, belong by definition to one and the same class. The nature of many cognitive operations has not been studied well so far, but the first steps towards its comprehension and description have been taken. The research identified 25 logically possible classes of relationships between a gesture and a gestural phraseme. The calculation is based on theoretically possible formal (set-theory) correlations between signifiers and signified of the non-verbal and verbal units. However, in order to examine which of them are realised in practice a complete semantic and lexicographic description of all (not only central) everyday emblems and gestural phrasemes is required and this unfortunately does not yet exist. Mr. Kreidlin suggests that the results of the comparative analysis of verbal and non-verbal units could also be used in other research areas such as the lexicography of emotions.

Sobre la evolución de las letras caballerescas en los siglos XVI y XVII

En esta revisión de documentos de los siglos xvi y xvii, que contienen letras caballerescas, proponemos algunas líneas de evolución y desarrollo de esta literatura emblemática desde su recolección y edición en cancioneros de principios del siglo xv, hasta su puesta en escena en elaborados torneos de invención de los siglos xvi y xvii. No pretendemos plantear una hipótesis cerrada e irrefutable, sino apenas abrir caminos de lectura e interpretación de esta particular lyra minima utilizada en la representación de lo caballeresco, que aún está por compilarse y estudiarse

Paralenguaje de los ojos en Esquilo

La mirada -acto de ver- tiene, de acuerdo con investigaciones contemporáneas, tres diferentes funciones: informa, toca y habla. Este estudio analiza la función lingüística de la mirada -cómo los ojos hablan- en la obra de Esquilo, siguiendo recientes estudios sobre el lenguaje corporal y la gestualidad -Mc Neill, Davis, Pease, Fast- en los cuales los ojos tienen un papel central. Este estudio demuestra que los ojos hablan, adulan y delatan en Esquilo. El trabajo presenta y analiza en su obra literaria diferentes tipos de expresión visual: emblemas, ilustradores, reguladores, adaptadores. Finalmente se detiene en los mensajes de cejas, párpados y lágrimas. La lengua griega y el genio de Esquilo ofrecen numerosos ejemplos ricos y valiosos del paralenguaje de los ojos.
