Book Of Daniel

Literary genre of the stories in die Book of Daniel The literary genre of the stories in the book of Daniel has acquired a central position in modern research. Most researchers agree that the stories contain material that is older than the visions contained in Daniel 7-12. Corresponding to the narrative of Daniel and his three friends the following can be listed: the biblical stories of Joseph and Esther; the Assyrian story of Ahikar; the stories of Tobit and Judith; Daniel and Susannah; Daniel, Bel and the Snake; and the story in 1 Esdras 3:1-4:63. The issue regarding the genre of these narratives thus should be addressed. The article proposes that the Daniel stories be read as wisdom literature. Furthermore, the different opinions of the following researchers are discussed: W.L. Humphreys, J.J. Collins, R.R. Wilson, P.R. Davies, G.W.E. Nickelsburg, as well as S. Niditch and R. Doran. The conclusion arrived at is that no consensus on the classification of the genre of the stories exists and that the lack of a standardised system in the classification of genre hampers the discussion.

The complex relationship between literature and law has been widely debated. Over the last 20 years, the judicial novel has been the subject of renewed consideration from critics. Numerous studies have pointed out how literary and judicial practices seem characterized by common methods of narrative organization and communication of experiences. Beyond the controversy on the classification of the judicial novel as literary genre, the representation of courtrooms has undeniably become one of the recurring tropes of the 20th-century novel. Within this multifaceted literary movement, the unique style of Italian judiciary literature warrants its articulation as a distinct genre. The working hypothesis of this article is that the political and cultural centrality acquired by the Italian Magistratura, as result of a longstanding confrontation with the political powers, is essential in studying the success of the Italian judiciary novel, together with the emergence of a vast number of jurist-writers. Analyzing specifically the work of the jurist-writer Gianrico Carofiglio, I will demonstrate how the Italian legal thriller transforms the representation of the trial, dealing with the literary tradition as well as with law’s own representation.

Chronicle drama occupies a central position in modern literature which represents a field for interaction of ideas and actions, as it works as storage for historical and human experience. It records a sequence for the history. This study aims to examine the main themes of chronicle drama. Thus, it tracks the history of modern literature as a wide source for this literary genre. The study adopts a historical and analytical methodology in order to clarify the broader dimensions related to chronicle drama and its sources. Historically, chronicle drama was used to dramatize the facts and work as an expression of factory life of kings. That’s why King John of Shakespeare in 1553 was the first one of this genre. The study concludes that chronicle drama mirrored surrounding circumstances of the facts since its early times. So, it was effected by the historical conditions. This is clearly appeared in the early works like Henry the Fifths, Tragedy of Richard III The life and Death of Jaike Strew and so, the previously mentioned "The King John". So it was affected politically and socially by the European historical context. The research also indicates that the Elizabethan Dramatists put the basics of the later stage of literature development especially on the level of techniques. This appears in Shakespeare’s works who used to end the drama with restoration and disordering which still exists in postmodern literature.

La ópera se considera comúnmente un género musical, pero su estatuto literario parece ser más bien dudoso. La intención de este artículo es poner en claro esta cuestión, tomando como referencia la teoría de los géneros literarios, la teoría teatral y la semiótica musical. La teoría literaria debe tener en cuenta la especificidad de ciertos géneros literarios cuya recepción ha sido destinada a ser acompañada por la música. Los géneros teatrales se definen por la presencia física de uno o más actores que representan sus personajes ante un público, de forma que dichos géneros pueden clasificarse por emplear o no el lenguaje y/o la música: esto significa que la ópera ocupa un lugar en la clasificación de los géneros literarios por su conjunción de lenguaje y música. Esta conjunción no es mera yuxtaposición, ha de ser pensada como simbiosis entre dos sistemas semióticos que colaboran para producir una forma específica de obra literario-musical que ha de considerarse un género literario y teatral con características especiales. Opera is generally considered a musical genre, but its literary statute seems to be rather uncertain. The aim of this article is to clarify this subject, taking as reference literary genre theory, theatrical theory and musical semiotics. Literary theory must take into consideration the specificity of certain literary genres whose reception is intended to be accompanied by music. Theatrical genres defines themselves by the physical presence of one o more actors that impersonate some characters for an audience, so this genres can be classified by the use or the disuse of language and/or music: this means that opera occupies a place in the classification of literary genres because of its conjunction of language and music. This conjunction is not mere yuxtaposition, it has to be thought as a symbiosis between two semiotic systems that collaborate to produce an specific form of musical-literary work that must be considered a literary and theatrical genre with special characteristics.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to enhance knowledge of the full set of interrelations between IC components by providing an inductive typology of their strategic interactions. Design/methodology/approach – To answer the research question the author conducted a content analysis of CEOs’ letters to shareholders published by 122 companies among the 200 first companies from the Fortune Global 500 from 2008 to 2012. Findings – The results show that these three IC components interact with each other around the central position held by relational and structural capital and to a lesser extent human capital. Companies that have a positive evolution in the ranking focus significantly more on the structural capital while those who have a negative evolution in the ranking mention more the relational capital. Research limitations/implications – The study is based on the CEOs’ letters that might limit the generalization of the findings. Nonetheless, this research highlights a full and fruitful set of interrelations between IC components providing a business practices-oriented typology. Practical implications – This study provides deep insights into the interrelations between IC components that can significantly help managers to identify the strategic connections between IC dimensions. Originality/value – This study contributes to the literature by expanding the actual academic classification of IC to five clusters of components. This research highlights that relational capital interacting with structural capital holds a central position in companies’ business strategy.

Two centuries ago Klein (1734) proposed a classification of the Echinoidea based upon the position and character of the “ mouth. ” The clumsy terms “ Emmesostomi ” and “ Apomesostomi ” that he applied to the two main sections of the class have fortunately lapsed ; but the situation of the peristome has been recognized as fundamental in all subsequent schemes of classification. Like Klein’s collateral scheme based on the position of the periproct, this principle has the advantage of being applied with equal ease to recent and fossil forms. In a general way, a central position of the peristome may be taken to imply the presence of jaws, while an eccentric position implies their absence. Thus a classification on that basis divides the Echinoids into two sections which have very different habits. The types that have jaws live in the open, scrambling among rocks, while those without jaws shuffle over silt or may burrow into it. The gnathostomatous condition precedes the atelostomatous both in palaeontology and ontogeny, although both conditions are abundantly represented in the modern fauna.

The article deals with the issue of convergence of epistolary genre and style in relation to epistolary dialogues of Winston and Clementine Churchill. The term convergence implies a combination or accumulation of various stylistic devices promoting the same idea, emotion or motive. In this article the author uses the concept of convergence as a confluence of different epistolary sub-genres or genre and style modifications of the personal correspondences of Winston and Clementine Churchill. The object of the research was “Speaking for Themselves”, a selection of private letters of Winston and Clementine Churchill (1700 letters), edited by Mary Soames. The results of the conducted research prove that these charming letters are of various epistolary formats and sub-genres which are converged though they are also modified.The author analyses the features of epistolary genre and style modifications and concludes that these modifications contribute to the convergence of intimate, friendship and family, social and business correspondences. According to the diversity of genre and style forms this article presents the typology (classification) of the personal letters of Winston and Clementine Churchill. It is recommended to divide the analyzed correspondences included into the book (the personal letters of Winston and Clementine Churchill) into two main categories: 1) private: (intimate, romantic-personified letters; friendship exchanges, Chartwell Bulletins; critical passages; diary entries); 2) business (formal) and partnership letters (memoranda, notes, telegrams,  сocuments…) Moreover, the paper bridges the gaps in the epistolary terminology such as epistolary dialogue which is the epistolary form conducive to dialogic engagement, epistolary (a literary genre pertaining to letters), genre and style modifications. The content and the issues of the paper may provide the field for further investigating for researchers of the epistolary genre, literary critics and journalists.

The article deals with the problem of definition and classification of literary works marked as fantasy. Being quite a modern genre, fantasy, on the one hand, has become quite a popular literature among groups of people of different ages and occupations that leads to the rising attention of theorists of literature and literary critics. But, on the other hand, this literary genre is still not studied and described well enough. Therefore, literary studies do not have conventional definition or classification of the genre. Examining famous fantasy works by J. Tolkien (“The Lord of the Rings”), J. Martin (“The Song of Ice and Flame”) and M. and S. Dyachenko (“Wanderers”), we managed to accentuate typical featured of the genre and define it. Comparing Western European and Slavonic fantasy, we came to a conclusion that this genre combines such necessary features as mythological basis, adventure intrigue, the division of the heroes into possessing superpowers and not possessing such ones, the presence of magical artefacts, opposition to the evil on a global scale. Speaking about classification of the genre we can point out two subgroups such as leaning towards the mythological basis and folklore and leaning towards the historical basis.

The purpose of this expositional paper was to analyze the Francis Bacon Prose Style as literary genre with reference to his essays (“Of Studies” Of Revenge” and “Of Marriage and Single Life”) Bacon’s essays have a certain unique characteristic which make us question the classification of essay. Literary review through expositional form of writing for presenting opinions based on facts from his essays was considered as a method for analyzing literary essays. The finding of this paper through analyzing his three major essays (“Of Studies” Of Revenge” and “Of Marriage and Single Life) revealed, Bacon has used various features which can be termed as: Aphoristic, Paradox, Rhetorical Device, Imagery, Analogy, and allusion for being impersonal trough saving his own personality. Bacon’s works are classified as essays for having the artistic value of Beauty and moral. Francis Bacon has distinctive features that fame his works through the ages. Bacon’s style is compact yet polished and indeed some of its conciseness is due to the skillful adaptation of Latin idiom and phrase. His sentences are pregnant and have the capability of expending into paragraph. He had a great and impressive mastery over the art of saying maximum into minimum words.

Studies on the interaction of religious organizations and their followers on social networks go back about ten years. Recognition of the crucial role of social networks in the religious life of modern society can be considered a generally accepted position among scholars. However, such interactions on the Russian internet remain poorly understood. The phenomenon of online religion is still not fully open. In modern science, there is a shortage of studies that pay attention to the theoretical and methodological foundations of the classification of religious practices online, taking into account the influence of sociocultural processes occurring in society. The concept of “digital religion” and the attempt to classify it have become the central position of the article. The advantages and the development prospects of the most famous theories of digital religion are demonstrated on basis of their analysis. The article attempts to adapt the concept of the Hjarvard mediatized religion to the Russian model of digital religion.

An expansive approach to the rabbinic interpretation of wisdom would entail comparing the rabbis’ diverse notions of wisdom with pre-rabbinic conceptions, while a more focused approach, and the one pursued here, approaches wisdom from a literary perspective. If we consider Wisdom as a literary genre or mode, Mishnah Avot emerges as a late member of the Wisdom literary trajectory, sharing salient features with earlier Wisdom Literature. In light of Avot’s presence on a literary continuum with ancient Hebrew Wisdom, I hope to show how Ben Sira’s Praise of the Fathers paved the way for various features and innovations of Avot which, in turn, enriched the rabbinic interpretation of wisdom.
