Sommario/riassunto |

In 1951, the secluded Neo-Aramaic-speaking Jewish community of Zakho migrated collectively to Israel. It carried with it its unique language, culture and customs, many of which bore resemblance to those found in classical rabbinic literature. Like others in Kurdistan, for example, the Jews of Zakho retained a vibrant tradition of creating and performing songs based on embellishing biblical stories with Aggadic traditions. Despite the recent growth of scholarly interest into Neo-Aramaic communities, however, studies have to this point almost exclusively focused on the linguistic analysis of their critically endangered dialects and little attention has been paid to the sociological, historical and literary analysis of the cultural output of the diverse and isolated Neo-Aramaic communities of Kurdistan. In this innovative book, Oz Aloni seeks to redress this balance. Aloni focuses on three genres of the Zakho community's oral heritage: the proverb, the enriched biblical narrative and the folktale. Each chapter draws on the authors' own fieldwork among members of the Zakho community now living in Jerusalem. He examines the proverb in its performative context, the rewritten biblical epic narrative of Ruth, Naomi and King David, and a folktale with the unusual theme of magical gender transformation. Insightfully breaking down these examples with analysis drawn from a variety of conceptual fields, Aloni succeeds in his mission to put the speakers of the language and their culture on equal footing with their speech. |

This contributed volume focuses on the sustainability of mountain ecosystems in the face of a changing climate. Its chapters highlight climate change impacts on the livelihoods of the people and communities that live in mountains and ways that these effects can be mitigated through adaptive measures. The chapters herein address a gamut of topics from use of remote sensing tools to assess changing ecosystems, disaster management in mountains, policymaking between institutions, and more. This book is suitable for students (undergraduate and postgraduates) of ecology and environmental studies/sciences, mountainous agriculture, mountain forestry, teachers, researchers, climate change scientists in academic and research institutions. It will also be useful to environmental management agencies particularly working towards sustainable development in mountainous regions, disaster management authorities, government agencies and policy makers. |
