Free Download Laurie Zoloth, "Ethics for the Coming Storm: Climate Change and Jewish Thought"
English | ISBN: 0197661343 | 2023 | 266 pages | PDF | 2 MB
How can we come to understand our existence on this earth, surrounded by air and light and water, while living in a place we deliberately and carelessly abuse, where resources are becoming scarce, and where the well-being and basic health of our neighbors is threatened? In Ethics for the Coming Storm, Laurie Zoloth argues that our debates about environmental issues have largely been driven by the language of economics and political power, and have become both deeply divisive and symbolic, turning our differing truth claims and moral appeals into signs of identity. This discourse has utterly failed to change the human behavior or political and economic structures necessary to face global warming head on. So Zoloth turns to another language, found in the texts and traditions of Jewish thought-the language of Scripture, the Talmud, and philosophy of Judaism-which, she contends, offers a different kind of argument for such a change. In fact, Zoloth claims, the traditions, histories, and texts of Jewish thought address precisely the sort of existential crisis that we now face, and thus deepen and enrich our public discourse about what to do, and who to be.

Free Download Miriam Bouzouita, "Cycles in Language Change "
English | ISBN: 0198824963 | 2019 | 336 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This volume explores the multiple aspects of cyclical syntactic change from a wide range of empirical perspectives. The notion of ‘linguistic cycle’ has long been recognized as being relevant to the description of many processes of language change. In grammaticalization, a given linguistic form loses its lexical meaning – and sometimes some of its phonological content – and then gradually weakens until it ultimately vanishes. This change becomes cyclical when the grammaticalized form is replaced by an innovative item, which can then develop along exactly the same pathway. But cyclical changes have also been observed in language change outside of grammaticalization proper.

Free Download Cultural Change in Post-Migrant Societies: Re-Imagining Communities Through Arts and Cultural Activities by Wiebke Sievers
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 268 Pages | ISBN : 3031398998 | 14.6 MB
This book links the artistic and cultural turn in migration studies to the larger struggle for narrative and cultural change in European migration societies. It proposes theoretical and methodological approaches that highlight how ideas of change expressed in artistic and cultural practices spread and lead to wider cultural change. The book also looks at the slow processes of change in large cultural institutions that emerged at a time when culture was nationalised. It explains how individual and group activities can have an impact beyond their immediate surroundings. Finally, the book discusses how migration researchers have cooperated with arts and cultural producers and used artistic means to increase the effect of their research in the wider public. As such, the book provides a great resource for graduate students and researchers in the social sciences and the humanities who have an interest in migration studies and want to move beyond interpreting the world towards changing it.
