Peace and War in Hawi al-Hawa
No full textCopyright © 2020 The Author(s). Forty years have passed since the original research, during which Syria has witnessed decades of change and been plunged into civil war. This chapter gives a brief update on the participants and their families. It also describes developments within the village of Hawi Al-Hawa, which was severely impacted by the ISIS caliphate in Raqqa (2013–2018). With careful locating of old and new cultural forms, this book reveals important insights into the study of social relations in peace and war. With an emphasis on dialectical change and transformations, we can better situate what has happened in this part of Syria, and how this has affected social life. Transformative change and conflict have been part of the peace-time history of Syria, and war did not erase certain continuities. The chapter can help refine the study of social life in war and in peace, by paying attention to the lives lived, the struggles fought, and the ‘messy’ complexity of human social life. Despite the disruption and dislocation caused by conflict, using social media the families continue to be socially engaged with each other and the village. The village and the family are still important categories of belonging for the people of Hawi al-Hawa.https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/mono/10.4324/9781003050551-18/peace-war-hawi-al-hawa-sulayman-khalaf?context=ubx&refId=78635be9-c1a7-46c6-a9cd-6df2123b996

Ancestral Roots. Anglosajón in J.L. Borges
No full textThis chapter explores Jorge Luis Borges’s unique relationship with Old English language and literature, often referred to as anglosajón. Drawing on Borges’s own reflections on blindness and his ancestral connections, I try to demonstrate how these factors influenced his intellectual and creative pursuits. Borges’s fascination with Early medieval English poetry was not merely academic but deeply intertwined with his metaphysical views on time, identity, and immortality. By embracing anglosajón, Borges sought to reconnect with his ancestral roots and explore a cyclical notion of time and self, seeing language as a bridge to a profound, eternal past

The Star of Bethlehem in the Hêliand
No full textIn his reelaboration of the Gospels, the author of the Hêliand dedicates several verses to the star of Bethlehem; its description as a ‘bright sign’ and ‘God’s token’ more frequently than a ‘star’ reflects the hesitation of the Fathers of the Church in defining it a miracle or a natural phenomenon. However, none of the sources traditionally associated with the poem can be identified as a reliable model for the author. In this article, I will try to demonstrate that the poet’s lexical choices related to the description of the star and the narrative construction of the whole episode find correspondences with the interpretation provided in the De mirabilibus Sacrae Scripturae, an early ninth-century treatise whose earliest witness was originated in the Carolingian context and thus could have been used as a source for this episode
