Global Health Law:Defining the Field
No full textThis Introductory chapter attempts define the scope and normative foundations of global health law as an emerging field in international law. The author perceives global health law as a field consisting of a limited set of binding and non-binding instruments adopted in the framework of the World Health Organization (WHO), in an interaction with both hard and soft law standards recognized in other branches of international law, including human rights law, international humanitarian law, international environmental law, international trade, property and investment law. As such, global health law reflects an intricate patchwork of hard and soft law standards. The author asserts that human rights, given their normative value, have the potential to play an important role in giving expression to the normative foundations of global health law. Furthermore, the author tentatively discusses the emergence of a number of general principles in global health law, including health capability, equity, and solidarity

Brisingamen and the Menet necklace
No full textThis article discusses the jewellery worn by the goddess Freyja, the Brisingamen. The author has previously claimed that brising (“glowing”) is a heiti for “garnet”, in Latin called carbunculus and in Greek ἄνθραξ. The word men has been compared by other authors to the Old German word menni meaning a collar for a dog. However, its origin may have been the Menet (alternatively Menat or Menit) – originally the necklace of the cow god Hathor which in the Greco-Roman time was taken over by the fertility goddess Isis. The Menet necklace was mostly used in ceremonies together with the musical instrument sistrum, when the rattling of the Menet was an important element. The late Roma like bracteates or coin imitations and garnet jewellery were important elements, too. Owing to its many metal pendants the Brisingamen could have produced a sound, though in this case not rattling but rather a sound more like jingle bells. This paper presents several precious items of jewellery representing Freyja’s Brisingamen from the Viking period, the most exquisite examples being the necklaces from Hoen in Norway and Eketorp in Swede

Case Study
No full textArtykuł stanowi opracowanie hasła case study (studium przypadku) ze zwróceniem uwagi na historię terminu i jego transdyscyplinarne zastosowanie: wychodząc od medycyny i socjologii, przez prawo, psychiatrię, psychologię i seksuologię, kończąc na literaturoznawstwie. Autorka stara się zarysować rozróżnienie między studium przypadku jako formą gatunkową (Brigit Lang, Joy Damousi, Alison Lewis, Yiannis Gabriel) a studium przypadku jako strategią badawczą (Bent Flyvbjerg, Gerring John, Ryszard Nycz) – stosowaną od niedawna także w literaturoznawstwie. Wyznaczaniu zakresu oraz cech case study towarzyszy analiza opisu jako kluczowego narzędzia wspierającego przebieg „opowieści o przypadku”.The article discusses case study with a focus on the history of the term and its transdisciplinary application, from medicine and sociology, through law, psychiatry, psychology, sexology, and literary studies. The author discusses the differences between case study as a genre (Brigit Lang, Joy Damousi, Alison Lewis, Yiannis Gabriel) and case study as a research strategy (Bent Flyvbjerg, Gerring John, Ryszard Nycz), which has been recently also employed in literary studies. Determining the scope and features of case study is accompanied by an analysis of description as a key tool in formulating “the story of the case.
The Aesthetics of Effacement: A comparative study of the Literary Output of Nikolai Gogal and Oscar Wilde
No full textThis thesis is the first comprehensive comparative study of the 19th-century RussoUkrainian satirist Nikolai Gogol and the 19th-century Anglo-Irish satirist Oscar Wilde, presenting a survey of their thematic and stylistic parallels within a potentially explanatory framework of their shared imperatives as sexually and ethnically closeted authors.
Part One conducts a detailed thematic survey of both authors\u27 conception of the artistic process as expressed in their fiction, examining whether parallels could be indicative of shared exposure anxiety, before concluding with a review of the dominant stylistic features of each author\u27s fiction as products of a shared imperative toward the generation of interpretative suspense and the facilitation of plausibly deniable self-expression. A range of genre theorists are invoked to diagnose genres defined by interpretative suspense, while theories of literary negativity hitherto applied to Nikolai Gogol are applied to Oscar Wilde.
Part Two opens with a review of evidence for the diagnosis of each author\u27s sexuality and ethnicity as well as the extent to which they may be claimed to be closeted, utilizing postcolonial and queer theory while seeking their intersection. The remaining five chapters are a detailed thematic analysis of parallels in the depiction of sexuality, ethnicity and identity in the work of both authors, utilizing the Jungian individuation cycle as a potentially explanatory model of the imagination\u27s response to repression.
This thesis contributes to scholarship by offering a new aesthetic framework for the evaluation of Oscar Wilde, through the application of theories of literary negativity previously applied to Nikolai Gogol, as well as toward the contextualization of Nikolai Gogol as a closeted writer, while pointing the way for further comparative study of Anglo-Irish and Russo-Ukrainian literature. It also examines whether the poetic cycle of Wilde\u27s Poems could be used as the basis of an improved Jungian model of the homoerotic male imagination
A Paradigm of the Dublin Collection <i>Vita IV S. Brigitae</i>
No full textAbstract
We know from the table of contents in M that D originally contained a Life of St Brigit, but it is now lacking from both manuscripts. This chapter shows that it survives as the anonymous Vita IV in two seventeenth-century editions. The Life was attributed by Fr. Hugh Ward to Ultán of Ardbraccan and by John Colgan to an unknown author, Animosus, whom he equated with the Irish name Anmchad. But since Colgan thought the metrical Life to have been written in the eighth century, it was obvious that this Anmchad could not be the Animosus there referred to. Vita IV's value is greatest as an index to the changes in style and content between seventh-century hagiography and the works of the age of the D-redactor, and especially as a paradigm of the latter's editorial activity. Based on evidence, Vita IV appears to be the Dublin text of the Life of St Brigit. This discovery is of some importance for the study of the redaction of the vitae of Irish saints in the three later medieval collections.</jats:p
