Ischnocnema Reinhardt and Lutken 1862
No full textGenus <i>Ischnocnema</i> Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 <p> Based on a single specimen (currently ZMK 1180), Reinhardt and Lütken (1862) described a new species, <i>Leiuperus verrucosus</i>, from near Juiz de Fora, State of Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil. In a postscript to the same paper, however, the authors proposed a new genus, <i>Ischnocnema</i>, to accomodate that species, under the combination <i>Ischnocnema verrucosa</i>. For a summary of the taxonomic history and redescription of this species, see Lynch (1972).</p> <p> With the synonymization of <i>Oreobates</i> Jiménez­de­la­Espada, 1872 to <i>Ischnocnema</i>, this genus also included <i>I. quixensis</i> (Jiménez­de­la­Espada, 1872), as reviewed by Lynch and Schwartz (1971). Later, Lynch (1974), Duellman (1990), Harvey and Keck (1995), and Padial et al. (2005) described <i>I. simmonsi</i>, <i>I. saxatilis</i>, <i>I. sanctaecrucis</i>, and <i>I. sanderi</i>, respectively, completing the six species currently recognized in the genus.</p> <p> The genus <i>Ischnocnema</i> was distinguished from <i>Eleutherodactylus</i> by Lynch (1971, 1972) and Lynch and Schwartz (1971) mainly on basis of the shape of the distal phalanges: T­shaped in <i>Eleutherodactylus</i>, and knobbed in <i>Ischnocnema</i>. The other characters listed for <i>Ischnocnema</i> by Lynch (1971) are included in the variation of <i>Eleutherodactylus</i> characters, except by the anterior rami of pterygoids reaching the neopalatines in <i>Ischnocnema</i>. Lynch and Schwartz (1971) examined only specimens of <i>I. quixensis</i>, but Lynch (1971, 1972) also examined the holotype of <i>I. verrucosa</i>, although apparently did not observe the condition of its phalanx. Osteological characters listed by Lynch (1971) to the genus <i>Ischnocnema</i> were observed by the author in <i>I. quixensis</i>, the sole species of this genus cleared and stained in his work. The osteological features herein observed in <i>I. verrucosa</i> agree with that attributed to <i>Eleutherodactylus</i> by Lynch (1971) but not with that attributed to <i>Ischnocnema</i> by this author. These findings permit the association of <i>I. verrucosa</i>, type species of the genus <i>Ischnocnema</i>, with the genus <i>Eleutherodactylus</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Caramaschi, Ulisses & Canedo, Clarissa, 2006, Reassessment of the taxonomic status of the genera Ischnocnema Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 and Oreobates JiménezdelaEspada, 1872, with notes on the synonymy of Leiuperus verrucosus Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 (Anura: Leptodactylidae), pp. 43-54 in Zootaxa 1116</i> on page 45, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/171643">10.5281/zenodo.171643</a>
The Fourth Way
No full textReinhardt Grossmann holds that a realistic ontology in regard to perceptual, physical, and mathematical objects can be combined with an empiricistic theory of knowledge. In the first part of the book he shows that the traditional distinction between primary and secondary qualities leads to idealism, while the common Cartesian conception of knowledge by way of ideas leads to skepticism. In an effort to avoid these twin scourges of modem philosophy, the author argues for the existence of ordinary perceptual objects and explains how we know these objects directly through simple acts of perception. The second part of the book is concerned with the way in which we know what is in our minds. Grossmann maintains that this kind of knowledge is just as fallible as perception. In the third part the author concludes that logic, arithmetic, and set theory concern matters of fact and that we discover these facts through empirical knowledge
Entre autoridad y libertad : el consenso, idea central de la teoría política de Nicolás de Cusa en el De Concordantia Catholica
No full textFil: Reinhardt, Klaus. Universidad de Tréveris; Alemania.In De Concordantia Catholica Nicholas of Cusa develops two seemingly contradictory views of government. In book I he derives all power from an upper source and builds up a monarchic conception of the Church and the State. Differently, in books II and III he stresses the dependence of government on the consent of subjects, which makes of him a pioneer of democratic formulations of government. The author of the article shows that Nicholas of Cusa 1. frames these two seemingly contradictory views within a broader theologic-christologic thesis. This thesis holds that all government must derive from both humane and divine sources, which allows the author to conclude that 2. Nicholas's singular statements on the radical freedom of man (naturally a gift of God) and on the limitations -to be exerted by control commissions- of both ecclesiastical and temporal powers set the ground for the development of a democratic thought founded on human rights
The Grotesque Masks of Elias Canetti: Monads with no Doors or Windows
No full textFor Elias Canetti comedy was always an important tool to express himself. But in his works, besides the link to comic, laughter has also a terrible, uncanny and creepy appearance. This disquieting side of laughter often leads to unheard of violence on the edge of madness. Canetti goes back to the archaic essence of laughter and shows the deep similarities with the act of eating. He considers the gesture of gulping down food as an act of incorporation, that is the first form of power and oppression. This type of humor finds an expression in different stylistic features of the grotesque. Through the analysis of some of his works, especially of his theatre plays and his novel Auto da fé, it clearly appears that the grotesque of Canetti is closely linked to the idea of mask.
In this regard, Canetti’s definition of "acoustic mask" is by now well known. However, of great interest is the study of his literary production in the light of a more complex meaning of the term mask, as the author himself points out in his anthropological essay Crowds and power, where alongside the acoustic elements he also includes visual ones. In this way, the broader concept of "grotesque mask" can be defined. This approach gives evidence of Canetti’s debt, not only towards acoustic elements related to his stay in Vienna and to the influence of his great idol Karl Kraus, but also to the visual arts and, especially, to Brueghel and Goya. In sum, the grotesque masks show their inability to communicate not only in a verbal sense, but especially through their body language, as they are totally unable to touch each other in any way

No full textNarrative art and act in the fourth gospel: aspects of the Johannine point of view
No full textThis thesis assumes that the narrative form of the Fourth Gospel is important for understanding the Gospel's meaning. Narrative is a communicative transaction whereby meaning is transmitted from author to reader via the way the story is told. Meaning is also established by overt speech-acts, and the 'act' performed in the overall structuring of the story. It arises within a context of rule-governed speech behaviour which determines parameters and implications that inform understanding. The Gospel's narrative form meets with readers' conventional expectations about how it relates to ostensive historical reality. Factors internal and external help determine genre. Part one examines aspects of the Gospel's narrative art. The way in which the narrative situation varies over the course of the narrative is outlined. The implied author manipulates the narration to create a close association in the reader’s mind between the narrator and the beloved disciple. In John 3 the voice of the narrator merges with those of Jesus and John. These strategies have implications for the Gospel's theological meaning and the relationship of the implied author to the story world. Speech-act theory elucidates the narrative act by which the implied author conveys the Gospel's message and seeks to induce belief in the reader. Part two considers the Gospel's relationship to historical reference. Factors which influence a decision as to whether or not the Gospel is to be taken as fictional are examined, for example, whether aspects of the narration suggest fictional discourse and whether the speech-acts operate within a 'pretended' world. Descriptive categories for the Gospel as natural narrative and 'display text' are proposed, as is a flexible model of genre, which modulates the poles of 'fiction' and 'history'. An analysis of the Temple Cleansing pericope provides illustration of the Gospel’s status as an historically-based, theological display text
