The Iliad, the Ramaya?a, and the Work of Religion

The Iliad, the Ramaya?a, and the Work of Religion

Gregory D. Alles

Pennsylvania State University Press
1994
pokkari
One often reads that literature works to construct worlds of meaning. This book argues that the Iliad and the Ramayana did not construct worlds so much as address them. It argues further that the worlds the Iliad and the Ramayana addressed were worlds in which words did not mean so much as persuade. In both ancient Greece and India, persuasion was central to harmonious social interaction. The failure of persuasion marked the limits of the patterns that configured human society; it also threatened social chaos. The work of the Iliad and the Ramayana was to transcend the limits and mystify the threat. In performing this work, the two poems made the configurations of social order fundamentally tenable. They also enabled them to endure up to the present day. Gregory Alles seeks to bring an awareness of some of the limits of significant ideological practices in the academic study of religions, especially the pursuit known as the history of religions. In the twentieth century, the history of religions has been formulated as a hermeneutical discipline. Its task has been to understand religious meanings, in whatever way the process of understanding meanings has been conceived. This investigation suggests, however, that a hermeneutical history of religions is too narrow. Among other things, it overlooks the religious work that these two poems perform. This study proposes that historians of religions conceive of their task not as hermeneutics but as history, that is, as a principled investigation of events in which religion occurs.

Health Systems in Transition: Canada

Health Systems in Transition: Canada

Gregory Marchildon; Sara Allin; Sherry Merkur

University of Toronto Press
2021
pokkari
The health care system in Canada receives a great deal of international attention, but it is subject to considerable critique and debate locally. Health Systems in Transition: Canada provides an insightful and objective analysis of the organization, governance, financing, and delivery of health care as well as comparisons between the Canadian system and others internationally. This book draws on a wide range of empirical studies and statistical data within Canada and across comparable countries to provide a thorough description of the many facets of health care in Canada. Drawing on the most reliable and recent data available, this study reveals the strengths and weakness of Canadian health care. This assessment is based on numerous comparisons of Canada to peer countries (Australia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and among provinces and territories within Canada. It will be of interest to scholars and students in Canada wanting to learn more about the largest and most celebrated public program, and for those outside Canada interested in comparative systems and policy research.

Classical Econophysics

Classical Econophysics

Allin F. Cottrell; Paul Cockshott; Gregory John Michaelson; Ian P. Wright; Victor Yakovenko

Routledge
2009
sidottu
This monograph examines the domain of classical political economy using the methodologies developed in recent years both by the new discipline of econo-physics and by computing science. This approach is used to re-examine the classical subdivisions of political economy: production, exchange, distribution and finance.The book begins by examining the most basic feature of economic life – production – and asks what it is about physical laws that allows production to take place. How is it that human labour is able to modify the world? It looks at the role that information has played in the process of mass production and the extent to which human labour still remains a key resource. The Ricardian labour theory of value is re-examined in the light of econophysics, presenting agent based models in which the Ricardian theory of value appears as an emergent property. The authors present models giving rise to the class distribution of income, and the long term evolution of profit rates in market economies. Money is analysed using tools drawn both from computer science and the recent Chartalist school of financial theory.Covering a combination of techniques drawn from three areas, classical political economy, theoretical computer science and econophysics, to produce models that deepen our understanding of economic reality, this new title will be of interest to higher level doctoral and research students, as well as scientists working in the field of econophysics.

Indigenous Religion(s)

Indigenous Religion(s)

Siv Ellen Kraft; Bjørn Ola Tafjord; Arkotong Longkumer; Gregory D. Alles; Greg Johnson

Routledge
2020
sidottu
What counts as 'indigenous religion' in today´s world? Who claims this category? What are the processes through which local entities become recognisable as 'religious' and 'indigenous'? How is all of this connected to struggles for power, rights and sovereignty?This book sheds light on the contemporary lives of indigenous religion(s), through case studies from Sápmi, Nagaland, Talamanca, Hawai`i, and Gujarat, and through a shared focus on translations, performances, mediation and sovereignty. It builds on long term case-studies and on the collaborative comparison of a long-term project, including shared fieldwork. At the center of its concerns are translations between a globalising discourse (indigenous religion in the singular) and distinct local traditions (indigenous religions in the plural).With contributions from leading scholars in the field, this book is a must read for students and researchers in indigenous religions, including those in related fields such as religious studies and social anthropology.

Nach dem Krieg war alles anders Seit ber 75 Jahren leben wir nach zwei verheerenden Weltkriegen nun schon im Frieden. Krieg, Tod, Heimatverlust, Flucht, Vergewaltigung und andauernde Lebensgefahr haben in zwei Weltkriegen viele Menschen, M nner wie Frauen, physisch und psychisch schwer belastet. In diesem Buch kommen Menschen zu Wort, die in jungen Jahren die schreckliche Zeit des Zweiten Weltkriegs erlebt haben, die aber dennoch das Beste aus ihrem Leben gemacht haben. Ihre Geschichten sollen den Leser dazu ermutigen, hinzuschauen, miteinander zu reden und zu hinterfragen, um traumatische Kriegserlebnisse unserer Vorfahren zu heben, zu verstehen und, wenn n tig und m glich, zu erl sen. Denn was die Heilung verwundeter Seelen betrifft, gilt: Nicht Schweigen, sondern Reden ist Gold.
