This edition, accompanied by an introduction and extensively annotated English translation, affords access to the first-known personalized, rationalistic Jewish commentary on this biblical book. Saadia innovatively organizes the biblical narrative—and his commentary thereon—according to seven “guidelines” that provide a practical blueprint by which Israel can live as an abased people under Gentile dominion. Saadia’s prodigious acumen and sense of communal solicitude find vivid expression throughout his commentary in his carefully-defined structural and linguistic analyses, his elucidative references to a broad range of contemporary socio-religious and vocational realia, his anti-Karaite polemics, and his attention to various issues, both psychological and practical, attending Jewish-Gentile conviviality in a 10th-century Islamicate milieu.Biblia Arabica1.222/.9049Wechsler Michael G.1154806Wechsler Michael G.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827430603321The book of conviviality in exile (Kitab al-inas bi-'l-jalwa)3964316UNINA03911oam 2200589I 450 991015458510332120230126214817.01-351-88621-50-8153-4745-61-315-23849-710.4324/9781315238494 (CKB)3710000000965415(MiAaPQ)EBC4758777(OCoLC)973032458(BIP)63366735(BIP)11949768(EXLCZ)99371000000096541520180706e20162005 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierThe making of global and local modernities in Melanesia humiliation, transformation and the nature of cultural change /edited by Joel Robbins, Holly WardlowLondon ;New York :Routledge,2016.1 online resource (244 pages) illustrations, tablesAnthropology and Cultural History in Asia and the Indo-PacificFirst published 2005 by Ashgate.0-7546-4312-3 1-351-88622-3 1.

Ancestral vigilance and the corrective conscience in Kwaio : Kastom as culture in a Melanesian society / David Akin.Authored by well-established and respected scholars, this work examines the kinds of efforts that have been made to adopt Western modernity in Melanesia and explores the reasons for their varied outcomes. The contributors take the work of Professor Marshall Sahlins as a starting point, assessing his theories of cultural change and of the relationship between cultural intensification and globalizing forces. They acknowledge the importance of Sahlins' ideas, while refining, extending, modifying and critiquing them in light of their own first hand knowledge of Pacific island societies. Also presenting one of Sahlins' less widely available original essays for reference, this book is an exciting contribution to serious anthropological engagement with Papua New Guinea.Anthropology and cultural history in Asia and the Indo-Pacific.EthnologyMelanesiaIndigenous peoplesMelanesiaSocial changeMelanesiaMelanesiaColonizationMelanesiaForeign relationsMelanesiaSocial conditionsEthnologyIndigenous peoplesSocial change305.8/00995Robbins Joel1961-1000270Wardlow Holly896904MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154585103321The making of global and local modernities in Melanesia2295921UNINA
