Abstract:
The National Museums and Galleries of Wales has recently received a collection of "curiously marked rocks" from Aberystwyth University which compliment others found in the stores. The rocks are hard mudstones with polished surfaces covered in unusual multidirectional scratch marks. Some of these were collected and figured by John Challinor in the early 1900s but despite publication only a cliff face in Siberia was reported to have similar markings. The sites have been revisited and marks can still be found insitu, leading to the conclusion that their origin is due to earthquakes causing moveme

Abstract:
The subject of the study is the semantics of lexemes expressing the Russian emotional concept lyubopytstvo ‘curiosity’ and their analogues in English and Italian. Curiosity belongs to the sphere of human intellectual activity, its psychological basis is the interest in the new, unknown. Reconstructing the image of a curious person on the basis of linguistic data makes it possible to identify common features and clarify differences in lexical meaning, creating difficulties in language learning and translation. The meanings of the analyzed lexemes are clarified, their etymology and ways of trans

Introduction: Melanocytic nevi are benign tumors composed of nevus cell, thought to be derived from the neural crest. While they are unusual in the oral mucosa, they contrastingly represent the most diagnosed pigmented lesion on the skin. Observations: A 68-year-old woman presented with an asymptomatic ”epulis-like”, pale pink swelling of the lingual gingiva and slowly growing in the last 6 months. Excisional biospy was performed with a hypothesis of fibroma but the histopathologic examination revealed surprisingly an achromic intramucosal nevus. Conclusion: The unusual appearance in these cas

Abstract:
The effective origins of contemporary conservative Protestantism are found in the early nineteenth century, when an evangelicalism emerged and so influenced that century. This outlook, both theological and moral, dominated until after the Civil War, when forces of immigration, urbanization, and education severely challenged at least the theological domination. By early in the twentieth century, therefore, Protestantism had split into two factions: a liberal wing that, by accommodating theologically to those forces of modernity, remained dominant, and a conservative wing that seemed, by the 192

Publication of a canopic jar acquired by the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto in 1994 (995.11.4). Its form and unusual text are discussed; it is dated to the Twenty-first Dynasty, and attributed to a northern context. A curious feature is that although finely made and quite finished, it omits any mention of the name of the deceased.

On a sunny September afternoon, I found myself fighting through crowds of metropolitan art-goers, hipster-technologists and pro-longed-adolescent-adults, grazing amusedly in a tall, open, window-less room at the MOMA’s Talk to Me exhibition, amidst an assortment of flat screen monitors, tastefully-colored infographics, blinking LEDs and beeping.1 Halfway through my procession through this spec-tacle, I circled back to the room center and found myself curiously face-to-face with a seemingly unremarkable floor lamp, except for an unusual spongy beige section on the lamp-neck.

The chapter is partly underpinned by materialist theory, drawing on Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing’s description of the ‘assemblage’ as ‘an open-ended entanglement of ways of being’.

N1-4), the right side of a ram with the left side of a boar in the other (Fig. 36, Cat. P1).

However, when Bill came to Oxford in 1984 we met often to talk about Strepsiptera, as I had begun working seriously on this group in 1979. Bill was curious about all things strange—hence his interest in these bizarre entomophagous parasites. He regularly stopped by my room to chat about the latest find in Strepsiptera. It was just

T. C.’s head after death,’ wrote Henry Nelson Coleridge to John Taylor Coleridge on 7 August 1834. This was unusual, as the normal practice was to take a single mask and then make casts from it.

This chapter examines agreement on nouns to gain similar insight into the internal structure of NPs. Nominal in the polysynthetic languages share several unusual properties that distinguish them from nominal in a language like English. Morphologically, nouns in these languages often have agreement prefixes that are cognate, in curious ways, to the agreement prefixes of verbs. Syntactically, the interna

This concluding chapter examines the explorations of Ernst Bloch (1885–1977), the great philosopher of hope, and Theodor Adorno (1903–69), the foremost critical thinker of the Frankfurt School, concerning the profound ramifications of the fairy tale. In doing so they made a significant contribution to the Grimms' cultural legacy. The chapter reveals that, not long after Bloch escaped the dystopian realm of East Germany in 1961, he held a radio discussion with Adorno about the contradictions of utopian longing. Both displayed an unusual interest in fairy tales and were very familiar with the Gr

This chapter shows that many of Bowen’s female characters have curious relationships with inanimate objects, endowing them with special powers or personal attributes. The pattern of these relations, in which certain objects obtain an unusual significance to their possessors, even, in some cases, to the extent of being preferred over relationships with other people, is obvious in Bowen’s works, yet it eludes the usual definitions of fetishism. Critics attempting to theorize female fetishism have tended to rely on paradigms articulated by Freud (ie erotic) or Marx (ie consumerist). Neither of th

There are manifold reasons for the charisma of the apartment; from the flamboyant eccentricities of the client and his exchanges with the architect, to the exceptional location of apartment in the centre of Paris, to the apparent repudiation of some of Le Corbusier’s more strident proclamations on archite
