An exploration of vowel-pair frequencies in Lozi
Lozi is a Bantu language spoken predominantly in south-western Zambia. It possesses five phonemic vowel qualities and, as is common across Bantu, is noted to exhibit a form of progressive vowel height harmony. Unusually, however, Lozi lacks any alternations targeting front vowels, with only the back rounded vowels showing alternations: high [u] occurs following [i, u, e, a] but mid [o] is found after [o] itself. Furthermore, harmony is said to be…

Northern Tosk Albanian
Albanian (endonym: Shqip ; Glotto: alba1268) is an Indo-European language which has been suggested to form an independent branch of the Indo-European family since the middle of the nineteenth century (Bopp 1855, Pedersen 1897, Çabej 1976). Though the origin of the language has been debated, the prevailing opinion in the literature is that it is a descendant of Illyrian (Hetzer 1995). Albanian is currently spoken by around 6–7 million people (Rusa…

What are the basic building blocks of verb meanings, how are they composed into more complex meanings, and how does this explain the grammatical properties of verbs and their relationships to other words with related meanings? These questions are fundamental to the study of verb meaning, and some of the most fruitful attempts to answer them have come from event-structural theories, wherein verb meanings are assumed to be decomposed into an event …

A working profile
Results from comprehensive surveys of Australian professional archaeologists undertaken in 2005 and 2010 are considered in the context of disciplinary trends, focusing on changes in access and participation, archaeological workplaces, qualifications and skill gaps. Strong growth is demonstrated in the professional archaeology sector between 2005 and 2010, showing substantial restructuring in the last five years, with an increase in Indigenous arc…
Keeping Country
Cultural heritage management (CHM) of Indigenous places is the dominant area of professional practice in Australian archaeology, yet relatively few Indigenous Australians take up a career in the sector. The internet is providing new and effective avenues for Indigenous outreach programmes. This paper describes a self-contained, web-enabled, free-to-user cultural heritage training programme designed in consultation with, and for the use of, Indige…

Counter-figural Topics
Counter-figural Topics: Theorizing Romance with Eugene Vinaver and Eugene Vance Stephen G. Nichols (bio) If romance assumed a defining role in medieval literary studies during the twentieth century, it’s thanks in no small measure to the vision of two scholars who perceived the perilous quest of romance—the aventure—as a prism refracting key components of the society that imagined them. These two scholars were Eugene Vinaver, born in Russia in 18…
Eugene Vance, 1934–2011
Few scholars in our time have thought about the writings of Saint Augustine as persistently and passionately as Eugene Vance.Augustine's dictum that "faith inquires, but reason discovers and confirms," was axiomatic for him, although in Gene's case, the "faith" in question was his belief in Augustine's unparalleled genius in recognizing that a relig
Political Grail
Political Grail:On Theological Fictionality Stephen G. Nichols (bio) Does the invention of the Grail legend in France at the end of the twelfth century have anything in common with a phenomenon that has, in our own day, boldly, and often successfully, challenged basic values that have governed social, political and religious institutions in the West since the Enlightenment? I mean of course the rise of religious fundamentalism we are witnessing w…

Jacob Taubes Preface Western Cultures appear to be caught in a paradoxical split between unbridled secularism and an unparalleled outpouring of books, articles, Op-Ed pieces, blogs, and talk shows dealing with religious issues. …

Contingency and Post-Figural Historiography in the French Restoration, 1815–1830
The writing of history in France under the Ancien Régime subscribed to a providential epistemology in which historical events were seen as revealing divine purpose. The Revolution swept away the hegemony of monarchy and church on which providential epistemology rested. Historians like Thierry and Guizot had to search for new ways of conceiving French history based on neutral models such as contingency
Christian Delacampagne
Christian Delacampagne: Philosopher of the World Stephen G. Nichols (bio) Christian Delacampagne was a philosopher of the world, rather than a worldly philosopher. He chose to practice a kind of philosophy all too often misunderstood (in the United States at any rate) because it focuses on the effect of thinking about problems in the “real” world, rather than exploring the rarified sphere of technical speculation. For Christian, it mattered very …

Popular representations of archaeology are investigated through a content analysis study of documentary programmes screened on Australian free-to-air television. Although public opinion survey research suggests that mass media, particularly television, are one of the major ways in which the Australian public encounters archaeology, no systematic investigation of the archaeological content appearing on Australian television has previously been und…
Thesis Abstract
Mapping the shape of contemporary Australian archaeology
Results from the largest survey of professional Australian archaeologists ever undertaken are considered in the context of teaching and learning issues. The survey asked questions about the composition of the archaeological workforce, professional activities of archaeologists, skills and qualifications needed to work in archaeology, and opinions on university learning and professional training. Data about the discipline are a basic requirement fo…

The school education system is an important public sphere where popular notions of archaeology and the archaeological past are produced and reproduced. Within the framework of an interpretive public archaeology, schools represent a significant social context in which archaeologists might seek meaningful engagement with the wider community. Analysis of the Queensland Education Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE) syllabus reveals that there a…

The Spirit of Truth
T-HIS OBSERVATION by the noted art historian, Erwin Panofsky, was not written specifically to describe the present state of critical, theoretical and historical research into the genre of western literature which we call epic, but it could hardly find a more appropriate application. One of the best of the recent books seeking to promulgate a genre theory of epic states in its first chapter, devoted to adumbrating The Norms of Epic, that

The Light of the Word
N rOT LONG AGO, Geoffrey Hartman posed the rhetorical, but nevertheless urgent question, Is it too late or can our age, like every previous one, protect the concept of art?1 I take it that this issue of New Literary History implicitly rephrases that question to ask whether our age can, like every previous one, protect the concept of narrative. While some of the essays, notably Brooks's, might lead us to answer the question affirmatively, others p…

and images tend to be viewed oppositionally in the ongoing effort to determine the nature of the claims each makes to representation. As W. J. T. Mitchell (1986: 47) recently noted, Words and images seem inevitably to become implicated in a 'war of signs' (what Leonardo called a paragone) in which the stakes are things like nature, truth, reality, and the human spirit.... each art characterizes itself in opposition to its 'significant other.'
