Emotions, Morality, and Cognition: The Unprecedented Scope of the Concept of the Heart in Amharic
Full text linkThis study sheds light on the unique conceptualization of the heart in Amharic, based on dictionary data, corpus data, and a self-collected corpus of text excerpts. What stands out is the unusually vast scope of the concept, which embraces not only emotions, character and morality, but also cognition, and, to some extent, rationality. Thus, the noun ləbb can, depending on the context, be translated into English as ‘mind’, ‘good sense’, or even ‘reason’. The broad scope of the concept is even better seen in light of the derivatives of the word ləbb, most notably the noun ləbbuna / ləbbona, connected with psyche, reason, and the sense of right and wrong, as well as the adjectives ləbbam and ləbbeñña, meaning ‘intelligent, attentive’. The uniqueness of the Amharic worldview is also reflected in the conceptualizations underlying the single idiomatic phrases formed with the noun ləbb, as well as the connection it has to the other parts of the Amharic worldview. Particularly worth highlighting here is the figure of God, around whom the whole Amharic worldview revolves, as well as the concept of aʾǝməro ‘mind’, which does not introduce the same stark opposition between the mind and the heart as the one known from European languages and discourses

An Ethiopic \u27Homily on Peter\u27 attributed to Ephrem
No full textAn edition, with English translation, is provided of an Ethiopic ‘Homily on Peter’, attributed to Ephrem the Syrian (d.373), which is uniquely attested in MS Ethio-SPaRe UM-046, fols 148v–151v. This Ethiopic homily ultimately goes back—undoubtedly via Arabic—to a Syriac stanzaic poem (soḡiṯā) recently edited by S. P. Brock
L\u27espace utopique entre virtualité et présence au XIXe siècle à l\u27exemple du Voyage en Icarie d\u27Étienne Cabet (1840)
No full textLiterarische Utopien, wie Étienne Cabets Voyage en Icarie, basieren auf virtuellen Raumbeschreibungen und kreieren nichtexistierende, ideale Welten. Dabei werden verschiedene Darstellungsformen wie Raumskizzen und schein-geographische Karten genutzt, um die räumliche Ordnung einer utopischen Gesellschaft zu vermitteln. Die literarische Utopie ist ein wesentliches Mittel, um gesellschaftliche Visionen zu veranschaulichen und zu verbreiten. Ihre Beschreibungen dienen nicht nur als Selbstzweck, sondern symbolisieren soziale Gegebenheiten und verorten durch die Raumbeschreibung den Platz des Individuums in der Gesellschaft. Seit Anbeginn utopischen Denkens steht immer auch die Frage nach ihrer Realisierbarkeit zur Debatte. Cabets Voyage en Icarie zeigt eindrucksvoll, dass Utopien auch außerhalb des literarischen Systems den realen Raum verändern können. Tatsächlich diente das Werk als Grundlage für die Schaffung eines realen Ikariens, indem das Konzept des virtuellen Möglichkeitsdenkens in den faktualen Raum zu übertragen versucht wurde.Literary utopias create virtual depictions of non-existent spaces to illustrate ideal worlds. Various forms of representation, such as spatial sketches and geographical maps, are used to convey the spatial order of a utopian society. The literary utopia is thus an essential means of illustrating and disseminating social visions. These descriptions not only serve as an end in themselves, but also symbolize social conditions and locate society. Ever since utopian thinking began, the question of whether it could be realised arose. Étienne Cabet’s Voyage en Icarie impressively demonstrates that utopias not only develop meaning within the literary system, but can also change real space. In fact, the work served as the basis for the creation of a real Icaria by transferring the concept of virtual possibility thinking into space
