Book Description
The figure of the dog is a paradox. As in so many cultures, past and present, the dog in ancient Greece was seen as the animal closest to humans, even as it elicited from them the most negative representations. Still a loaded term today, the word bitch not only signified shamelessness and a lack of self-control but was also exclusively figured as female. Woman and dogs in the Greek imagination were intimately intertwined, and in this careful, engaging analysis, Cristiana Franco explores the ancients' complex relationship with both. By analyzing the relationship between humans and dogs as depicted in a vast array of myths, proverbs, spontaneous metaphors, and comic jokes, Franco in particular shows how the symbolic overlap between dog and woman provided the conceptual tools to maintain feminine subordination. Intended for general readers as well as scholars, Shameless extends the boundaries of classics and anthropology, forming a model of the sensitive work that can be done to illuminate how deeply animals are imbricated in human history. The English translation has been revised and expanded from the original Italian edition, and it includes a new methodological appendix by the author that points the way toward future work in the emerging field of human-animal studies.

Metaphor and the Ancient Novel
Author: S. J. Harrison
Publisher: Barkhuis
ISBN: 9077922032
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
This thematic fourth Supplementum to Ancient Narrative, entitled Metaphor and the Ancient Novel, is a collection of revised versions of papers originally read at the Second Rethymnon International Conference on the Ancient Novel (RICAN 2) under the same title, held at the University of Crete, Rethymnon, on May 19-20, 2003.Though research into metaphor has reached staggering proportions over the past twenty-five years, this is the first volume dedicated entirely to the subject of metaphor in relation to the ancient novel. Not every contributor takes into account theoretical discussions of metaphor, but the usefulness of every single paper lies in the fact that they explore actual texts while sometimes theorists tend to work out of context.

Pages : 112
Book Description
Son tantas las escuelas o corrientes filosóficas y tan complicadas para entender, que he decidido generar una nueva corriente filosófica dirigida a nuestro pueblo latinoamericano actual, fácil de entender, para todo público y que hemos denominado "IDEALISMO ANDINO". Con ello estamos dando respuestas acerca del origen del mundo, el origen del hombre y su destino después de la muerte, la misión del hombre en la tierra, quien es Satanás y los espíritus superiores. Digamos, además, que esta palabra "filosofía" fue inventada por Pitágoras (Filosofía= amor + sabiduría), entonces le preguntaron a Pitágoras: - ¿Luego usted es un sabio?- "No (respondió), soy un amante de la sabiduría"... COMENTARIOS ACERCA DEL LIBRO "Filosofía Contemporánea para un pueblo Latinoamericano." "Excelente libro, lleno de luz y conocimiento que ayuda en la búsqueda personal de la verdad y te acerca más con el Ser Supremo" (Lic. Alberto P. Escobar Diaz. Gerente Valuaciones Actuariales, S.C., México, D.F.)
