Rare Tongues is an enthralling tour around the rarest languages in the world.

Rare Tongues is an enthralling tour around the rarest languages in the world.

Gibb L: Rare Tongues

Rare Tongues

The secret stories of hidden languages

Semiotics, Communication and Cognition

There are many theories of meaning. Most of them are descriptive and do not answer the question of what meaning is and how and why it arises. This book answers these questions. To paraphrase Leibniz's famous phrase, it asks why there is meaning rather than nothing. Its originality lies in showing that meaning comes from the senses, and so it emphasises the bodiliness of semiosis, making use of advances in the cognitive sciences, in a unified theoretical framework in which meaning emerges from the physical world. This all-encompassing vision has been made possible because the author - who is not an isolated person but a collective - has a long history of interdisciplinary work.&nbsp;Groupe µ is a leading research team based at the University of Liège (Belgium). For over fifty years, it has been at the forefront of transdisciplinary work in rhetoric, semiotics and the theory of communication, whether linguistic or visual. From Rhétorique Générale (1970), a classic translated into some twenty languages and hailed by the journal Sciences humaines as one of the most important books of the twentieth century, to Nouveau traité du signe visuel (2026), which provides a general grammar of the image, whether figurative or not, its collectively authored works have all represented decisive advances for these disciplines.

The Sources of Meaning

Principia Semiotica

Róisín Á Costello provides a critical analysis of the ways in which law is portrayed in Irish literature and argues that authors from Ireland (writing in both Irish and English) have consistently used literature as a mechanism to challenge and critique institutional power. In doing so, she argues that Irish literature, and the narratives it has created about law, have been used to re-assert and recomplicate Irish identities at sites of conflict and to interrogate the legitimacy of power and how it is exercised. Drawing on a range of texts including novels, poetry, plays, song and satire, Costello illustrates that Irish literature has acted as a decolonial and intersectional force in critiquing the institution of law and constructing national, linguistic and political identities in Ireland. She traces a pattern in which Irish authors consistently used literature as a lens for legal analysis in Ireland, using their work to address fundamental concerns about the legitimacy of law, the role of doubt in legal proceedings, the need for popular accountability, and the marginalisation of minority groups an identities by formal institutions and system.

Critical Approaches to Institutions, Power and Identity

Law in Irish Literature

This edited volume marks an "epistemological shift" in Yezidi research. It critically analyzes the conditions and intellectual interests that shaped knowledge about Yezidi communities and religion from the mid-19th to the early 20th century.
The contributions focus on the complex interplay of academic interests, colonial projects, missionary strategies, and sensationalist publications, which have led to enduring stereotypes in academia. Central to this is the work of the Austrian Orientalist Maximilian Bittner, whose translations of sacred texts serve as the starting point for the investigation of academic networks between Vienna, Mosul, and Saint Petersburg.
The particular strength of the volume lies in its interdisciplinary approach, combining contributions from the history of science, textual criticism of Yezidi manuscripts, studies of ritual objects in museum collections, comparative analyses of scientific traditions, and an investigation of the position of the Yezidis within the Ottoman administrative system. The integration of oral tradition is essential in order to show how historical memory functions as a mechanism for remembering and preserving history.
The volume contains an unprecedented bibliography with over 750 sources in ten languages, making it an important research tool. The volume is an essential reading for anyone interested in religious studies, social anthropology, postcolonialism, Yezidi and Kurdish studies, and the history of science. It offers not only a critical analysis of the past, but also a methodological basis for future research.

Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing

An invitation to engage with some of today's most respected science journalists as they take readers beneath the surface to reveal the making of eleven of the best science stories. With eleven deeply reported, artfully crafted stories and annotations by some of the most thoughtful and respected science journalists working today, The Best Science Stories and How They Work is more than the sum of its impressive parts. Experience the pleasure of reading a "Best of" anthology, attending a science writing masterclass, and meeting journalists who become more than their familiar bylines. Each piece benefits from an introduction, annotations, and a conversation between the piece's author and annotator. Siri Carpenter--editor of this book and cofounder of The Open Notebook, a leading source of training and educational materials for journalists who cover science--has long considered what's behind the best writing. The pieces in this guide are drawn from a range of publications such as Scientific American, Nature, The Atlantic, and The New York Times Magazine and offer a unique perspective on how great science journalism happens: the careful structuring of a narrative, the delicate balance of skepticism and wonder, the ethical challenges of working with sources, the artistry of prose that sings. Readers will not only encounter outstanding examples of stellar storytelling, but they will also understand how these successful stories were reported and written, revealing the choices fundamental to good science journalism. Following each annotation, a Q&amp;A with the original author provides an intimate look at the decisions and challenges that shaped their work. Taken together, these pieces and annotations reveal the detailed, technical narrative work required to tell science stories. The book will delight, inspire, and equip readers with new tools to appreciate the stories that matter most. Contributors: Jordana Cepelewicz, Shraddha Chakradhar, Nadia Drake, Ben Goldfarb, Sabrina Imbler, Ferris Jabr, Emily Laber-Warren, Stephanie M. Lee, Dana Mackenzie, Amy Maxmen, Emiliano Rodríguez Mega, Kendra Pierre-Louis, Debbie Ponchner, Sandeep Ravindran, Mary Roach, Paola Rosa-Aquino, Ashley Smart, Jessica Seigel, Ramin Skibba, Kamala Thiagarajan, Bijal Trivedi, and Ed Yong

A Collection with Commentary

The Best Science Stories and How They Work

This long-awaited second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Thailand offers a comprehensive, authoritative, and multidisciplinary investigation into the complex forces shaping the nation in the 21st century.New for this edition is an in-depth exploration of the persistent dominance of the monarchy and the military; the systemic "lawfare" used to neutralise democratic challengers; and the emergence of vibrant, youth-led movements demanding fundamental structural reform. Beyond the political arena, the volume maps the intricate landscape of a society in flux: the digital transformation that has fostered both networked activism and sophisticated authoritarian surveillance; the historical roots of the violence in the southern border provinces; and the shift in gender and sexual politics from the margins to the forefront of human rights discourse. By assembling leading scholars to analyse the country's turbulent modern trajectory, this volume transcends traditional narratives to provide an incisive examination of the systemic power dynamics, social fissures, and evolving political identities that define Thailand today.The volume will be an essential guide for researchers, students, and policymakers specialising in fields such as Southeast Asian studies, comparative politics, international relations, sociology, and human rights, providing a roadmap for navigating the profound contradictions inherent in the contemporary Thai state.

Life-Size Guides to the Best of Nature

Including more than four hundred species from all seven recognized biological families, a beautiful visual celebration of bee species the world over. The honeycombs, hives, dancing, and royalty of bee colonies have long captured the public's imagination, but there's far more to these insects. There are over 20,000 bee species, but only a handful have colonies approaching the organization of the familiar western honeybee. The typical bee, if there is one, is solitary. It nests in the ground or a stem and has seven to fifteen offspring that develop and emerge the following year, long after their mother has died. These solitary species vary tremendously in the flowers they visit, how they collect pollen and nectar, the architecture of their nests, and how males strategize to find mates. Furthermore, another 17% of all bee species are well-armored parasites, often with striking colors and an array of tactics for attacking other bees.Bees' keystone contribution, as pollinators, to the human food supply and to the proper function of ecosystems far exceeds their numbers. From the emerald-green dilemma orchid bee to the spined leafcutter cuckoo, The Book of Bees celebrates bee species worldwide, highlighting a broad range of their diversity to illustrate how different they are in behavior, life history, and interactions with flowers and humans. Each entry includes a distribution map, a table of essential information, a section on related species, and a description of the species' importance in terms of taxonomy, rarity, behavior, and scientific significance. Striking photos show the bees at their actual size and are also enlarged to showcase intricate details.This wide-ranging exploration of social, solitary, and parasitic bees offers fascinating insights into their remarkable lives, fostering greater appreciation of their ecological importance and the need for their conservation.

Global Literature

Global Literature and the Digital analyses the continued impact of the digital revolution upon contemporary literature. From the vantage of the 2020s, global literature possesses a digital sensibility where reality and perceptions are shaped by digital saturation and global networks. Time becomes on-demand and space seems to contract as we engage beyond national borders.The book explores the influence of the digital: from the emergence of digital culture in the 1990s amid mediatization and interactivity, to the predominance of social media platforms in the 2000s and the rise of screen surveillance, to the more inclusive internet of the 2010s where digitally shared literatures promote 'influencer' writers from the Global South, shrinking the digital divide, to the 2020s, where post-digital norms render users complaisant to digital exploitation and the new crisis of AI. It discusses literature from over 30 countries across diverse literary forms including novels, poetry, nonfiction, blog fiction, AI-generated texts, videogames, and more.As society struggles to process the rapid changes borne of our digital realities, Global Literature and the Digital asks whether nostalgia and distain for globalization hinders our potential to imagine a positive digitally enabled globalism, that calls for regulation, global justice, and solidarity. This comprehensive resource is an essential read for students and researchers of globalization, global literature, and digital humanities.
