“The Pondering Repose of If”: Herman Melville’s Literary Exegesis
No full textThis study examines how Herman Melville’s oeuvre interacts with Old Testament (OT) wisdom literature (the Books of Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes). Using recent historical findings on the rise of religious skepticism and the erosion of Biblical authority in both Europe and the United States, I read Melville as an author steeped in the theological controversies of the eighteenth-century. Specifically, I am interested in teasing out the surprising disavowals of overt religious skepticism in Melville’s writing. By tracing the so-called Solomonic wisdom tradition throughout Melville’s oeuvre, I argue that Melville had developed an epistemology of contemplation towards that body of Biblical texts. Scholarship has traditionally painted Melville as a subversive if not downright skeptical religious thinker. Most studies have produced authorial readings, using texts as forensic evidence to make assertions about the author’s psychology. Incidentally, such assessments have confirmed the narrative of Herman Melville as a grand failed author of the nineteenth century, while ignoring the ambivalent attitudes toward Biblical authority, textual history, and skepticism that emerge in Melville’s writing. The present study intervenes by re-addressing several procedural questions about Melville’s literary dealings with the Bible: How does Melville deal with the distinct topics of religion, theology, religious skepticism, and doubt? How does he think through the relationship between science and religion as well as that of personal religion and theology? I claim that Melville’s work can be read as a continuous contemplation of Biblical wisdom. His writing, I argue, deals productively rather than a destructive with the Bible, its textual history, and authority. Melville’s thinking on theological and religious subjects was not merely subversive but constructive. In mounting this argument, I contradict current scholarship that reads Melville as trying to invent a new American Bible. In contrast, I show how Melville’s philosophical forays, even when critical, are dependent on the ethics, language, and thinking of the OT.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Englis
Novel developments in ELAN
No full textModern language documentation depends on suitable software infrastructure. ELAN is a well-known tool developed at The Language Archive / MPI-PL which allows multi-tier, multi-speaker, time-linked annotation of audio and video recordings, in particular in a field work and language documentation setting.
In the past two years ELAN has been under constant development. Here we will give an overview of the major recent enhancements to ELAN and ongoing work. These changes combined provide for a better and much faster process for the field linguist. Below we address five aspects, each consisting of multiple new features. We will discuss briefly their impact on typical workflows.
First, there are modes that help you perform specialized tasks more efficiently. These are a) the segmentation mode, b) the transcription mode, and c) the interlinearization mode. With a focused user interface for each task, the segmentation and the transcription modes together provide very efficient means for the initial steps of a typical workflow. The interlinearization mode, which is still in an early phase of development, is optimized for the next steps of (morphological) parsing, glossing and tagging. It does so by providing an interface to a new program: Lexan. Lexan is an extensible system for "annotyzers" (annotation-suggestion modules). These can be used to perform many complex and simple tasks: from tier copying via word segmentation and interlinearization to machine learning.
Second, the interoperability with FLEx (FieldWork Language Explorer) has been improved. An export function for the FLEx file format now complements the, updated, import function.
Third, extensive support for performing operations on multiple files have been added. These include a) file-format conversion (including Toolbox and Praat), and b) creation of similarly structured EAF files for a selection of media files.
Fourth, facilities have been added to create new tiers with annotations on the basis of existing tiers while applying logical operations. E.g. if the annotation occurs in both tier A and tier B, then copy it combined to tier C. The concept of creating new tiers on the basis of existing ones is currently further explored in Lexan (mentioned above). However these features provide for a straightforward interface to basic, but extremely helpful operations.
Fifth, preliminary interaction with relevant web services (online audio-video and text processors that create annotations) has been implemented.
In short, in the past years several crucial features have been added that make ELAN better and faster to use in many aspects

Nøytral Siddis – En digital løsning for bærekraftig atferd

Dette er en bacheloroppgave i Interaksjonsdesign ved Institutt for design ved Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet på Gjøvik. Prosjektet har Smartbyen Stavanger som oppdragsgiver. Stavanger er en av 112 europeiske byer som skal bli klimanøytrale innen 2030, noe som legger grunnlaget for behovet av Nøytral Siddis, en digital løsning for bærekraftig atferd.
Problemstillingen til prosjektet er: Hvordan kan vi legge til rette for motivasjon til en grønnere atferd gjennom en digital løsning for innbyggerne i Stavanger?
Rapporten tar for seg ulike teorier om klimakommunikasjon, klimapsykologi, designmetodikk og bærekraft. Ved bruk av designmetodikk for å forstå brukerens behov idégenererte vi ulike konsepter før vi bestemte oss for konseptet Nøytral Siddis. Vi designet en digital prototype som ble brukertestet gjennom flere iterasjoner.
Resultatet av oppgaven ble en digital prototype som gjennom fire hovedfunksjoner skal motivere innbyggerne i Stavanger til å ta grønne valg. Ved å gi brukeren en klar og tydelig oversikt over eget utslipp, øker vi kunnskapen om innbyggernes personlige klimapåvirkning. Gjennom å la brukeren sette personlige klimamål som de kan gjennomføre og dele med venner, legger vi til rette for at brukeren kan finne indre motivasjon til grønn atferd gjennom sosial anerkjennelse. Til slutt legger Nøytral Siddis til rette for motivasjon til klimavennlig atferd gjennom at brukere kan konkurrere med venner og kollegaer om hvem som påvirker klimaet minst.Title: Neutral Siddis – A digital solution for sustainable behavior

This is a bachelor's thesis in Interaction Design at the Department of Design at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Gjøvik. The project has Smartbyen Stavanger as the client. Stavanger is one of 112 European cities that will become climate neutral by 2030, which lays the foundation for the need for Neutral Siddis, a digital solution for sustainable behavior.
The problem for the project is: How can we facilitate motivation for a greener behavior through a digital solution for the inhabitants of Stavanger?
The report addresses various theories on climate communication, climate psychology, design methodology and sustainability. Using design methodology to understand the user's needs, we idea-generated different concepts, before we decided on the concept Neutral Siddis. We designed a digital prototype where all iterations were user tested.
The result of the project was a digital prototype which, through four main functions, will motivate the inhabitants of Stavanger to make green choices. By giving the user a clear and distinct overview of their own emissions, we increase knowledge about the inhabitants' personal climate impact. By letting the user set personal climate goals that they can implement and share with friends, we facilitate that the user can find inner motivation for green behavior through social recognition. Finally, Neutral Siddis facilitates motivation for climate-friendly behavior through users being able to compete with friends and colleagues about who has the least impact on the climate
