RoMEO Studies 6: Rights metadata for open-archiving
No full textThis is the final study in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving) which investigated the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues relating to academic author self-archiving of research papers. It reports the results of a survey of 542 academic authors showing the level of protection required for their open-access research papers. It then describes the selection of an appropriate means of expressing those rights through metadata and the resulting choice of Creative Commons licences. Finally it outlines proposals for communicating rights metadata via the Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)
The "Illimitable Dominion" of Charles Dickens: Transatlantic Print Culture and the Spring of 1842
No full textThis article explores Edgar Allan Poe’s May 1842 edition of Graham’s Monthly Magazine in the context of debates about international copyright circulating in the press at the time of Charles Dickens’s famous tour of the US. I offer a reading of Poe’s short story ‘The Masque of the Red Death’, and his review of Hawthorne’s Twice-Told Tales that sees these texts as interventions in transatlantic debates at the forefront of the public imagination in the Spring of 1842. In particular, through an original close reading of ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ I demonstrate how Poe subtly drew upon penny press exposés to inform the short story’s discussion of class, status and rights of access. I also suggest that the argument Poe made in his review of Nathaniel Hawthorne about the importance of ‘invention, creation, imagination [and] originality’ to the ‘prose tale’ is usefully considered in the same context, as an American response to questions of authorship that were also raised by the popular hysteria surrounding Dickens
The Neo-Mandaic Dialect of Khorramshahr
No full textNeo-Mandaic is the only surviving dialect of Aramaic to be recognized as a direct descendant of any of the classical dialects of Late Antiquity. The Mandaeans who speak it are adherents of a pre-Islamic Gnostic sect, the only such sect to survive to the present day. As such, Mandaic may be considered as both a living language of the modern Middle East and also the vehicle of one of the great religious traditions of that region, along with Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian. Unfortunately, Neo-Mandaic is severely endangered, and all signs indicate that the current generation of speakers is likely to be the last. As a description of an endangered language, this work addresses one of the chief concerns of linguists in the 21st century, namely the impending loss of the majority of the world's languages and the immense threat to both linguistic and cultural diversity that it represents. This grammar is the first account of a previously undocumented dialect of Neo-Mandaic, and the most thorough description of any Neo-Mandaic dialect. In addition to a description of its phonology, inflectional paradigms, and morphosyntax, it includes a collection of ten texts, transcribed and translated, as well as a concise lexicon of the vocabulary found within these texts

The ceremonies of Charles II's court
No full textPhDThis thesis examines the question of how the restored monarchy used the ceremonies of court in the
period 1660-1685. It is concerned with those rituals which took place regularly within the royal
palaces, that is to say the ceremonies of the Chapel Royal, of healing, of reception and audience,
dining and entertaining, and the rituals which took place within the privy apartments, including the
royal lever and coucher. The ways in which these rituals operated over the course of the reign are
considered - with close reference to their physical setting - as is their significance as expressions of
royal power.
The contention of the thesis is that the ceremonies of the Restoration court are a neglected subject
deserving of serious study, and that by examining them real insight can be gained into the changing
nature of monarchy, the personality of Charles II and the politics of his reign. The thesis argues,
contrary to traditional accounts of his reign, that Charles II took the formal exchanges of court life
very seriously, that their performance was intimately connected to the politics of the period and that
they were crucial to the way in which he projected his own majesty
May 1968 and its Impact on Charles de Gaulle's politics
No full textBachelor thesis deals with problematic of May revolt in France in 1968 and its direct impacts on Charles de Gaulle's policy. Even though, in the premature legislative elections which had taken place a month later the Gaullist won significantly, the president himself resigned in less than a year later. Albeit it seems (and some authors understand the May 1968 in this way) that student's agitation was only marginal event of wild youths without any deeper impact, the reality is the opposite. This incident remains the greatest people's rebellion of the Fifth republic until nowadays which has shaken the position of General de Gaulle and put the country into chaos. The order had been re-established in few weeks, nevertheless the economic situation remained unstable for several months. In the beginning, the author presents the events of the May 1968. Afterwards, the post-May situation in France is presented while concentrating on the personality and reaction of Charles de Gaulle. Subsequently, the president's steps as in the field of domestic policy, so in the field of international policy are presented. The thesis culminates by the referendum of 1969 and de Gaulle's resignation. The analysis shows that even that Charles de Gaulle stayed on his post immediately after May events, his position has been..
Iranian Scripts for Aramaic Languages: The Origin of the Mandaic Script
No full textThe unique cursive script still employed by the Mandaeans of Iraq and Iran, which is unlike any other script found in the modern Middle East, may provide a clue to the obscure origins of their written literature and their emergence as a distinct religious tradition. Comparison with ancient scripts from the regions where the Mandaeans are found today indicates that the Mandaic script is a product of the late Parthian period (and more specifically the second century C.E.) and has its closest affinities with a groupof scripts ranging from Anatolia and the Caucasus in the north to Characene and Elymais in the south, all of which appear to derive from or to be heavily influenced by the Parthian chancery script. The association of the Mandaeans with the later Arsacids is corroborated by their own legends and their textual tradition."February, 2006
