Kreis in Verse: Robert Duncan and the Masters in Poetics Program at New College of California by Nicholas James Whittington

“…The paper plays on the aural cognates (to the ear most accustomed to English) of the German kreis and the French crise to show how this close circle of poets and scholars banded together to face the perceived crisis of professionalization and careerism represented by the explosive growth of the creative writing complex and the long devaluation of poetry as a vital form of knowledge.…”

Los límites de la humanidad. El mito de los ch’ullpa en Marcapata (Quispicanchi), Perú by Pablo F. Sendón

“…This paper presents and discusses the myth of the ch’ullpa – beings of the pre-solar time – such as it is narrated by the members of the ayllu Collana from the district of Marcapata (province of Quispicanchi, Cusco) in relation to three kind of sources: a) the archaeological information about the geographical and spatial localization of the mortuary monuments which received that name in the Central Andes; b) the ethnological information about other versions of the myth registered among other indigenous-peasant populations from Southern Peru and the Bolivian altiplano; c) the ethnohistorical information which, in relation with the myth, has been registered by several scholars.

Reconstructing rhetorical strategies from the text of Galatians - syntax-based discourse analysis as a monitoring device by G. J. Swart

“…Using Galatians as sample text, the author compares three different approaches: analysis presupposing a rhetorical scheme (as proposed by Hans Dieter Betz), the reconstruction of a rhetorical strategy from the text itself (as advocated by Francois  Tolmie), and the so-called semantic (though ultimately syntactic) discourse analysis of Galatians published by a group of South African New Testament scholars. By means of this comparison, the author illustrates the value of a syntactically based method of discourse analysis for verifying conclusions regarding rhetorical strategies. …”

Whereas other scholars have argued that growing reliance on medical experts reduced the need for torture in criminal trials, this analysis reveals that early modern assumptions about the seriousness of female marital infidelity and about the importance of females as vectors of sexually transmitted diseases led the judges to torture Nicolarde until she produced a confession of guilt.  …”
