Narrative Account

Fāsila is a termed used to denote the last word in each Qur'anic āya. In this article, we explore this Qur'anic usage, examining in particular the connection between the choice of word, its semantic and rhythmic role in its immediate context, and its wider signification in the narrative. Previous writers on the subject drew attention to the apparent similarity between the fāṣila and the rhythmic schemes of poetry and rhyming prose. We argue that tire fāṣila, while certainly playing a role in the rhythmic structure of the text, has a wider significance, and that an examination of each occurrence underlines the organic connection between the ‘content’ of each sentence and its fāṣila. In a number of instances, it can be shown that the fāṣila and the rhythmic and semantic demands of the narrative account for differences between standard usage and the Qur'anic text. We discuss a number of specific instances of fāṣila, and, examine these in the light of the views of classical exegetes on this feature of the Qur'an.

Narrative Account

Chapter 2 provides a narrative account of Vincent de Paul’s activities between 1612 and 1617. It concentrates on new connections with prominent dévots in Paris, whose sponsorship provided him with opportunities for material stability and for the expansion of his rather limited pastoral experience. These included his patron employers, the high noble Gondi family, and Pierre de Bérulle, founder of the French Oratory, and founding figure of the French School of Spirituality. The appointments that resulted from these contacts were a preceptorship in the Gondi household, followed by a role as spiritual director to Madame de Gondi, and two sojourns as curé of the parishes of Clichy and Châtillon-lès-Dombes.

Narrative Account

This chapter offers a narrative account of music in Canadian cinema that highlights the contributions of its pioneers. Case studies spanning the critically acclaimed, the curious, and the marginalized allow for an effort to flesh out the place of music, particularly popular music, in this national cinema. While the esthetics and dollars-and-cents of music in film may be similar in Canada as elsewhere, the expectations of filmmakers and audiences are perhaps uniquely Canadian as a result of industrial and institutional forces. Animation, the avant-garde, and documentary are particularly vibrant spaces for the innovative use of music and differentiate the history of music in Canadian cinema from other more commercially oriented contexts.
