Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... C > Czech Literature A B C D ... Z The Czech or Bohemian language is spoken by that branch of the Indo-European Slavs who settled in Moravia and Bohemia about the fifth century after Christ. It is closely allied to the Russian, Polish, Bulgarian, and other Slav languages having a common origin. The evolution of Czech literature dates back to 863, when Moravia and Bohemia, through the efforts of Sts. Cyril and Methodius, the apostles of these two countries, were converted to Christianity and thus became participants in the great work of civilization. Of all Slav literature, with the exception of the Bulgarian, the Czech is the oldest and, until the seventeenth century, was also the richest. It may be divided into four periods. First Period This era extended from the Christianization A marked improvement in Czech literature began in the year 1250. The Western lands gave birth to new watchwords, new ideas, and new life. The splendour of tournaments, the pomp of feasts, and the grandeur of knighthood took the fancy of the age, while the Crusades widened the people's knowledge of other countries and customs. The troubadours of France and the minnesingers of Germany went from castle to castle, glorifying heroic deeds of knighthood. Tendencies of this kind found favour also in Bohemia, and because of their origin in Latin or Roman lands, literature of this period is commonly called romance, The deeds and adventures of the knights were extolled in song and poem after foreign models; the best of these was "Alexandreis", written by an unknown author. This piece of literature is remarkable for its almost faultless form and elegant diction. Another effect of the

UNE, CALLS Established in 1989 to coordinate and promote the research into and teaching of Australian Language and literature, and to encourage Australian writing. http://www.une.edu.au/calls/
Extractions: About CALLS The Centre for Australian Language and Literature Studies (CALLS) was established in 1989 to promote the research and teaching of Australian Language and Literature, and to encourage Australian writing. In 1998, it was expanded to encompass all the disciplines that come under the heading of Australian Studies, and its name changed to CALLS: The Centre for Australian Studies, UNE. The Centre is located in the Faculty of Arts at the University of New England. The focus of the Centre's activities is regional, national and international. Two regional conferences and a symposium have been held so far - at Kendall High School (1989) to celebrate the work of Henry Kendall, and at Gulgong (1991) to concentrate attention on the writings of Louisa and Henry Lawson. Important publications have resulted from these two conferences. A symposium, The Heritage Maze, was held in 1999, and another is planned for later this year. These symposia reflect the expanded CALLS, and the range of disciplines involved in Australian Studies.

Il cavallino era dipinto sulla carlinga del caccia di Francesco Baracca, l'eroico aviatore caduto sul Montello, l'asso degli assi della prima guerra mondiale. Quando vinsi nel '23 il primo circuito del Savio, che si correva a Ravenna, conobbi il conteee Enrico Baracca, padre dell'eroe; da quell'incontro nacque il successivo, con la madre, contessa Paolina. Fu essa a dirmi, un giorno: « Ferrari, metta sulle sue macchine il cavallino rampante del mio figlio. Le porte-ra fortuna » . Conservo ancora la fotografia di Baracca, con la dedica dei genitori, in cui mi affidano l'emblema. Il cavallino era ed è rimasto nero; io aggiunsi il fondo giallo canarino che è il colore de Modena".

Doing Military Ethics With War Literature Article by Robert Bonadonno presented at JSCOPE 99, arguing for the importance of lierary narrative in forming a practical appreciation of military virtue. http://www.usafa.af.mil/jscope/JSCOPE99/Bonadonna99.html
Extractions: Doing Military Ethics with War Literature Robert Reed Bonadonna 70 Prospect Street Gardner, MA 01440 bonador@aol.com I'll start off by trying to explain my title. First, what is it to "do" ethics? For the purposes of this discussion, I will say that we are doing ethics when we discuss questions of right and wrong, of goodness and virtue roughly in the form of a dialectic, as abstractions being mediated by concrete reality, by the facts of the lives of men and women. (In the backgound of this remark are both Hegels dialectic and Bakhtins dialogic, which has been seen as morally neutral, but more recently reconsidered as conducive to ethical readings. See Holquist, 181.) To do ethics is therefore to speak, and to attempt to unite fact and value. Doing ethics may be seen as the necessary middle point between merely and passively learning about ethical ideas and acting on them. The high-quality literary work not only grounds abstract ethical ideas, it does so in a way that can render ethical matters interesting and even exciting. It is the narrative aspect of the literary work, the "call of stories," as Robert Coles puts it, that is perhaps the most important to the student. It allows ethics to be done as story. It is time for me now to focus on the genre of war literature, the type of literature with which I propose to "do" ethics. From a consideration of the histories of ethics and of literature, it becomes obvious that to combine these two subjects is no random pairing. Literature and ethics share an inescapably bellicose ancestry. Both western literature and ethics begin with Homer and the dramas which constituted the ancient Greeks main moral "scriptures." The bellicose origins of storytelling are even more ancient and culturally diverse than this, as is represented by the Old Testament and Gilgamesh. But Homers influence on the genre has probably been the greatest. In fact, I want to suggest that three key figures from Homer may be said to provide virtual archetypes of the soldier as literary character, and as moral representative.
Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... S > Syriac Language and Literature A B C D ... Z Syriac is the important branch of the group of Semitic languages known as Aramaic. In the time of Alexander the Great, Aramaic was the official language of all the nations from Asia Minor to Persia, from Armenia to Arabian Peninsula. It was divided into two dialects: the western, used in Palestine and Syria by the Jews, Palmyrans, and Nabateans; the eastern, spoken in Babylonia by the Jews, Mandeans, Manichaens, and the people of Upper Mesopotamia. The Syriac language, as we know it from its literature, did not spring from the dialect spoken in Syria, but from the eastern Mesopotamian dialect. When the weakened Seleucides ceased to defend the Euphrates, small independent principalities were formed in that region. The most famous was the little Kingdom of Edessa whose capital Osrhoene was the religious centre of the country. This city also became an intellectual centre, and even then the language of its people attained great perfection. A little later under the influence of Christianity it developed considerably, and eventually became the liturgical and literary language of all the Churches from the shores of the Mediterranean to the centre of Persia. The suppleness and flexibility of this dialect and its loose and variable syntax readily lent itself to the most different constructions, and offered to
