Nonhuman voices leap out from the Exeter Book Riddles, telling us how they were made or how they behave. The Franks Casket is a box of bone that alludes to its former fate as a whale that swam aground onto the shingle, and the Ruthwell monument is a stone column that speaks as if it were living wood, or a wounded body. In this book, James Paz uncovers the voice and agency that these nonhuman things have across Anglo-Saxon literature and material culture. He makes a new contribution to ‘thing theory’ and rethinks conventional divisions between animate human subjects and inanimate nonhuman objects in the early Middle Ages. Anglo-Saxon writers and craftsmen describe artefacts and animals through riddling forms or enigmatic language, balancing an attempt to speak and listen to things with an understanding that these nonhumans often elude, defy and withdraw from us. But the active role that things have in the early medieval world is also linked to the Germanic origins of the word, where a þing is a kind of assembly, with the ability to draw together other elements, creating assemblages in which human and nonhuman forces combine. Nonhuman voices in Anglo-Saxon literature and material culture invites us to rethink the concept of voice as a quality that is not simply imposed upon nonhumans but which inheres in their ways of existing and being in the world. It asks us to rethink the concept of agency as arising from within groupings of diverse elements, rather than always emerging from human actors alone."Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture (Manchester, England).English literatureOld English, ca. 450-1100History and criticismCivilization, Anglo-SaxonMaterial cultureGreat BritainHistoryTo 1500LiteraturemupAnglo-SaxonbicsscLITERARY CRITICISM / MedievalbisachAnglo-Saxon / Old EnglishthemaGreat BritainfastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastHistory.fastbeowulfmaterial culturefranks casketanglo-saxonmiddle agesexeter bookaldhelmst cuthbertthing theorydream of the roodGrendel's motherKingdom of NorthumbriaOld EnglishRunesEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Civilization, Anglo-Saxon.Material cultureHistoryLiteratureAnglo-SaxonLITERARY CRITICISM / MedievalAnglo-Saxon / Old English829.09Paz James951436UkMaJRUBOOK9910219864803321Nonhuman voices in Anglo-Saxon literature and material culture2150942UNINA03589nam 2200649 450 991078792150332120230120012915.00-12-416994-5(CKB)2670000000576499(EBL)1844195(SSID)ssj0001469623(PQKBManifestationID)11849279(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001469623(PQKBWorkID)11529954(PQKB)11724782(MiAaPQ)EBC1844195(Au-PeEL)EBL1844195(CaPaEBR)ebr10988661(CaONFJC)MIL662941(OCoLC)896637268(EXLCZ)99267000000057649920141205h20142014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierExperimental methods in the physical sciencesVolume 47Optical radiometry for ocean climate measurements /edited by Giuseppe Zibordi, Craig J.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONSThis book presents the state-of-the-art of optical remote sensing applied for the generation of marine climate-quality data products, with contributions by international experts in the field. The chapters are logically grouped into six thematic parts, each introduced by a brief overview. The different parts include: i. requirements for the generation of climate data records from satellite ocean measurements and additionally basic radiometry principles addressing terminology, standards, measurement equation and uncertainties; ii. satellite visible and thermal infrared radiometry embracing instExperimental methods in the physical sciences ;Volume 47.Ocean-atmosphere interactionOptical radiometryOceanographyMeasurementOcean-atmosphere interaction.Optical radiometry.OceanographyMeasurement.551.5246Zibordi GiuseppeDonlon Craig J.Parr A.
