Sommario/riassunto |
|
Jane Austen is often associated with conservatism and her novels are often seen as light entertainment depicting a vanished world and its manners. Mary Evan's study, first published in 1987, seeks to contradict the conventional wisdom regarding Austen's social and political leanings and argues that far from endorsing established and conservative views Jane Austen advances a radical critique of the morality of bourgeois capitalism and demonstrates a concern for the articulation of women's rights and views whilst simultaneously drawing attention to the vulnerability of women in the eco |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The present volume originates from a colloquium which was organized by the Belgian Institutum Judaicum and the Instituut voor Middeleeuwse Studies of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in a common effort to commemorate the tragical events in the history of European Jewry around 1492. The organisers intended to elucidate neglected aspects of the spiritual landscape of medieval Spain on the eve of the expulsion and to draw the attention, by way of a few examples, to the sequels of Jewish emigration for the intellectual circles in the Southern Low Countries during the 16th century. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book proposes a detailed picture of the continuities and ruptures between communication in primates and language in humans. It explores a diversity of perspectives on the origins of language, including a fine description of vocal communication in animals, mainly in monkeys and apes, but also in birds, the study of vocal tract anatomy and cortical control of the vocal productions in monkeys and apes, the description of combinatory structures and their social and communicative value, and the exploration of the cognitive environment in which language may have emerged from nonhuman primate vocal or gestural communication. |
