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 žing 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." 410 0$aManchester Medieval Literature and Culture (Manchester, England). 606 $aEnglish literature$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCivilization, Anglo-Saxon 606 $aMaterial culture$zGreat Britain$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aAnglo-Saxon$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Medieval$2bisach 606 $aAnglo-Saxon / Old English$2thema 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $abeowulf 610 $amaterial culture 610 $afranks casket 610 $aanglo-saxon 610 $amiddle ages 610 $aexeter book 610 $aaldhelm 610 $ast cuthbert 610 $athing theory 610 $adream of the rood 610 $aGrendel's mother 610 $aKingdom of Northumbria 610 $aOld English 610 $aRunes 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCivilization, Anglo-Saxon. 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aAnglo-Saxon 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Medieval 615 7$aAnglo-Saxon / Old English 676 $a829.09 700 $aPaz$b James$0951436 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552371103316 996 $aNonhuman voices in Anglo-Saxon literature and material culture$92150942 997 $aUNISA LEADER 02812nam 2200649 a 450 001 9910779112503321 005 20230725060522.0 010 $a0-8179-1376-9 035 $a(CKB)2550000000105258 035 $a(EBL)1370692 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000720994 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11459866 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000720994 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10669388 035 $a(PQKB)10953356 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3301822 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1370692 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3301822 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10580557 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL551682 035 $a(OCoLC)808344419 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1370692 035 $a(OCoLC)876507543 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000105258 100 $a20110502d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aJihad in the Arabian Sea$b[electronic resource] /$fCamille Pecastaing 210 $aStanford, Calif. $cHoover Institution Press$dc2011 215 $a1 online resource (205 p.) 225 1 $aHoover Institution Press publication ;$vno. 612 300 $a"Herbert and Jane Dwight working group on Islamism and the international order." 311 $a0-8179-1374-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aThe gates of tears -- In the land of the mad mullah: Somalia -- In the land of the imam: Yemen -- In the land of the mahdi: Sudan -- War at sea -- The rise of the shabab -- Al Qaeda redux -- The sad lands. 330 $aCamille Pecastaing looks at the twenty-first-century challenges facing the region around the Bab el Mandeb-the tiny strait that separates the Red Sea from the Indian Ocean-from civil war, piracy, radical Islamism, terrorism and the real risk of environmental and economic failure on both sides of the strait. The author takes us with him into Somalia and Yemen, Eritrea and Djibouti, with excursions into Ethiopia and the Sudan, as he reveals how the economic and environmental crisis currently in gestation could lead to more social dislocation and violence in this strategically important region. 410 0$aHoover Institution Press publication ;$v612. 606 $aIslam and state$zMandab, Strait of 606 $aIslam and state$zRed Sea 607 $aMandab, Strait of$xHistory 607 $aMandab, Strait of$xPolitics and government 607 $aRed Sea$xHistory 607 $aRed Sea$xPolitics and government 615 0$aIslam and state 615 0$aIslam and state 676 $a967.7/032 700 $aPecastaing$b Camille$01525345 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779112503321 996 $aJihad in the Arabian Sea$93766680 997 $aUNINA
