  • Shelley, Hermeneutics and Poetics: Metaphor as Translation by William Donald Melaney

    Shelley, Hermeneutics and Poetics: Metaphor as Translation

    William Donald Melaney

    Percy Bysshe Shelley’s work in the field of poetics is a memorable rejoinder to Enlightenment historicism, just as it provides a theoretical basis for reading his own poetry in terms of a hermeneutical approach to knowledge. However, while rich in suggestions concerning how Shelley’s work might be read, the critical tradition in general has tended to neglect hermeneutics in favor of either formal or text-specific approaches. What this paper seeks to explore instead is the hermeneutical significance of Shelley’s conception of poetics. The hermeneutical approach will be used to explain how Shelley conceives of language as a process whereby meaning itself is derived from the metaphorical nature of verbal experience. Accordingly, this paper makes three related claims: first, Shelley’s reflections on the origins of language, as most strongly presented in Defense of Poetry, assigns metaphor a role that is inseparable from the problem of translation, broadly conceived; second, Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound demonstrates on a figurative level how the human imagination forms the bridge (or translates) between diverse mental faculties; finally, the ‘theory of metaphor’ that Shelley elaborates evokes a view of language that can be examined through a reader-response approach to the hermeneutical tradition. Th is final claim will allow us to demonstrate how a phenomenology of reading employs an intertextual approach to literature that is responsive to temporal claims.

  • Religion, Democracy and the Challenge of the Arab Spring by Ian A. Morrison

    Religion, Democracy and the Challenge of the Arab Spring

    Ian A. Morrison

    The focus of the chapter is an exposition and critique of early Western reactions to the Arab Spring. As evident in the coverage of the uprisings within the Anglo-American media, the anxiety often provoked by these uprisings and the subsequent attempts at democratization is a result of a perception that 'the democratic face of the revolutions may serve to his its "true" Islamist nature or... the masses, unable or unwilling to recognize the distinction between religious and political spheres, will hijack the fledgling democracies by electing Islamist governments' (Morrison 2014: 328). As such, the dilemma that is posed by the plurality of Western reactions is whether democratization, through permitting the election of groups with anti-democratic agendas, will lead to an opening for, or a closure of, democracy. The Arab Spring is an event for which a response is demanded from all of us who wish to be invested in questions of politics, democracy and religion. As such, we need to ask: how do we orient ourselves towards these events? How do we develop a politico-ethical response to the election (or potential election) or Islamist governments? Or, in basic terms, how do respond to the Arab Spring?

  • A Decade of Advances in the Paleopathology of the Ancient Egyptians by Lisa Sabbahy Dr.

    A Decade of Advances in the Paleopathology of the Ancient Egyptians

    Lisa Sabbahy Dr.

    Although the bioarchaeology (study of biological remains in an archaeological context) of Egypt has been documented in a desultory way for many decades, it is only recently that it has become an inherent part of excavations in Egypt. This volume consists of a series of essays that explore how ancient plant, animal, and human remains should be studied, and how, when they are integrated with texts, images, and artefacts, they can contribute to our understanding of the history, environment, and culture of ancient Egypt in a holistic manner.

    Topics covered in this volume relating to human remains include analyses of royal, elite and poor cemeteries of different eras, case studies on specific mummies, identification of different diseases in human remains, an overview of the state of palaeopathology in Egypt, how to analyse burials to establish season of death, the use of bodies to elucidate life stories, the potential of visceral remains in identifying individuals as well as diseases that they might have had, and a protocol for studying mummies. Faunal remains are represented by a study of a canine cemetery and a discussion of cat species that were mummified, and dendroarchaeology is represented by an overview of its potentials and pitfalls for dating Egyptian remains and revising its chronology.

    Leading international specialists from varied disciplines including physical anthropology, radiology, archaeozoology, Egyptology, and dendrochronology have contributed to this groundbreaking volume of essays that will no doubt provide much fodder for thought, and will be of interest to scholars and laypeople alike.
