The parallel between poetry and painting harks back to Antiquity. It seemed obvious because both arts appeal to the intellect as well as the eye. In his Ars poetica (approx. 20 b.C.), Horace gave a terse formulation to the parallel: ut pictura poesis. Later critics dislodged what was in Horace just an obiter dictum, from its context, which in Horace referred to the appropriate distance of a beholder/reader from a picture/text. In English liter...

This volume is an interpretation of the poetic work of one of the most important Spanish poets of the 20th century, Juan Ramón Jiménez (1881-1958). The lyrical production of this author covers the first half of the 20th century and develops from aestheticist fin de siècle poetry to abstract, quasi-religious writing at the end of his life. It is the intention to explain this evolution from the perspective of modern subjectivity, that is, by ana...

The objective of this work is not to suggest complete theories, neither absolute design solutions. It much more takes the path of directing the attention to a way of approaching architectural design via tectonic generators' and the arrangement of these in order to create a continuum of ideas, which gradually raise design knowledge. Three short theoretical texts are provided by Adrian Carter, Michael U Hensel and Isak Worre Foged in the effort ...

The book presents an overview of form-making as it is taught in different architecture and design programs across the world. This diverse collection of pedagogical experiences will certainly be of interest to architecture and design instructors as well as their students. With a few exceptions, such as the emphasis on materiality in the Bauhaus curriculum, the modernist tradition emphasises form and space at the beginning of the design process ...

Mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, affective disorders and personality disorders, are associated with heavy economic and non-economic burdens. This paper examines the relationship between socio-economic status in early childhood and the probability of developing schizophrenia, affective disorders and personality disorders. We use a sample of all Danish men born in 1981 and control for family factors one year before the birth of the child...

This paper examines the relationship between schizophrenia and employment. While most other studies have used cross-sectional data to estimate this relationship, we use longitudinal register data and show the development in the employment rate of people with schizophrenia 15 years before the first admission to a psychiatric hospital until 10 years after this admission. We find a considerable drop in the employment rate for people with schizoph...

The rapid growth of the aluminium industry during the last hundred years reflects the status of aluminium as the quintessentially modern metal. Given its impact on every facet of modern life, its aptitude for academic analysis is only rivalled by the versatility of the metal in industrial application. While during the 19th century aluminium was the source of luxury goods for the rich few, during the First World War it was subjected to strategi...

Two contrasting images typically represent 'the poor' in development studies and practice. On the one hand, they are portrayed as those who do not have: deprivation is the quintessence of their identity, the definition of their being. The very notion of 'poor' dooms the bearer to a subordinate, powerless status. Alternatively, they are idealistically depicted as thriving in solidarity, rich traditions and true authentic experience uncontaminat...

Even fifty-nine years after the actual fighting the Battle of Arnhem still represents a most telling defeat for a great many people. The fierce and bloody fighting for the bridge across the river Rhine near the capital of the Dutch province of Gelderland is perhaps one of the best-known episodes in the history of the Second World War. Scores of books, newspaper articles, documentary and even some feature films have been dedicated to the planni...

Welfare economics gives an introduction to the economic analysis of welfare programs. Welfare programs focus on alleviating risks that individuals encounter during life, such as not being able to support oneself due to sickness, unemployment or old age. In the book economic tools are used to analyse different ways of co-operation that mediates such risks, their efficiency and income distribution effects.

In Roman religion, Terminus was an agrarian god who protected boundary markers. Stones were often used to provide an effective means for marking these boundaries, although a stump or a tree sometimes served to demarcate adjacent properties. The need to demarcate boundaries and define ends continues to shape our way of thinking at the most fundamental level. The articles in this book investigate among other things developments in literature, fi...

It is the story of an inexperienced NY Times journalist who is sent to Reykjavik by his editor to cover a philosophy conference on experience, where...
