Process, pitfalls and profits: Lessons from interviewing New Zealand policy-makers: Table 1
Little has been written about interviewing policy-makers in health promotion and public health research. This article explores the process, pitfalls and profits of semi-structured interviews with policy-makers in 10 research projects conducted in New Zealand. Key members of each research team were surveyed about their research and findings verified against research publications. Key aspects of the process of policy-maker interviews include gainin…
Sgt. Pepper and the Beatles: It Was Forty Years Ago Today. Ed. by Olivier Julien
The Beatles and their repertory have grown in popularity as subjects with both general audiences and scholars, if not for the quality of the music, then for their historical and cultural significance. In addition to the numerous attempts at analysis and biography, George Martin (with William Pearson) in With a Little Help from My Friends: The Making of Sgt. Pepper (Boston, 1994) specifically deconstructs the making of the album that serves as the…

Adhrigu and drigu: On the Semantics of an Old Indo-Iranian Word
The relationship between the Vedic word adhrigu- and the Avestan drigu- has been the subject of much discussion. A major concern has been to determine which of these apparently related terms is primary, which secondary. Divergent etymological analyses have been proposed. Morphological anomalies have been pointed out. And in the case of the Vedic word, at least, the basic sense has remained obscure. In this paper the problem is taken up once again

Bien qu'il soit atteste dans la litterature sanskrite, le terme satyakriyā n'a jamais ete adopte par les sanskritistes pour designer une pratique rituelle, alors que cette signification apparait clairement. L'A. apporte quelques eclaircissements a la forme et a la fonction de la satyakriyā, institution vedique centrale, et tente de la definir comme un acte de parole formel, intervenant dans differents contextes vediques, pas seulement magiques ou…

Ahaṃkāra and Ātmastuti: Self-Assertion and Impersonation in the Ṛgveda
The Brahmodya and Vedic Discourse
An attempt is made to clarify certain formal and pragmatic features of the classical Vedic brahmodya (brahman utterance), a ritualized verbal contest involving a formulaic interrogation sequence posed by one priest and an equally formulaic response on the part of a rival. Such exchanges serve as an arena in which rivals alternatively test each other's mastery of the dominant cultural and poetic code and, on the other hand, display their mastery o…
From ‘footstep’ to ‘word’ in Sanskrit
L'A. examine l'evolution semantique du terme pada en sanskrit dont le sens etymologique est pas, empreinte et qui a acquis au cours de la derniere periode vedique le sens de mot. Il analyse de maniere critique les explications traditionnelles de ce phenomene
The pursuit of hidden tracks in vedic
Dans la litterature vedique, on rencontre un champ semantique etonnamment large du terme pada (chemin). L'A. pense que les explications donnees a propos de ses sens figures ou derives sont incomplets. Il pense volontiers lui assigner le sens de mot ou d'unite de discours isolable. Si dans son sens litteral le terme pada signifie empreinte, il nous emmene directement dans le monde du signe et fonctionne plus ou moins clairement comme un terme de d…
