Abstract:
Musical settings of lyrics from Latin plays written by Englishmen during the Caroline period are extremely rare. Only two such songs survive: ‘Dulcis somne’ from William Johnson's university play Valetudinarium, and ‘Astrorum iubar’ from Joseph Simons's school play Zeno sive Ambitio Infelix. Unusually, both songs are known only from copies bound into the play-texts themselves rather than from exclusively musical sources. This article sets out to evaluate both the songs themselves and their dramatic functions.

Abstract This paper has three objectives. First, we establish that although Spain has attempted to distance itself from its role in the sub-saharan African slave trade and the significance blackness plays within its borders, there exists a significant population of people of African descent from Latin America living in Spain. Second, we show Black people are living what Sadiyah Hartmann refers to as the afterlife of slavery in Latin America. We claim it is worthwhile to take into account that Afro-Latin Americans are fleeing to the country that is largely responsible for them being in Latin Am

Abstract:
When considering the landscape of drama and theatre performance in the sixteenth century in terms of classical reception, original plays written in Latin have not been accorded full attention. The many hundreds of Latin plays written and performed in England alone in this century were potentially vital locations for experimentation and for the reception not only of obvious Roman models but also of ancient Greek plays. In this article, one example, the biblical Latin drama Archipropheta by the scholar, poet, and playwright Nicholas Grimald (1519–1562), is examined to show how it is haunted by a

Abstract:
That the palliatae of Plautus and Terence, besides purporting to depict Greek life, were in general adaptations of Greek plays has always been known. Statements in the prologues of the Latin plays and by other ancient authors left no room for doubt about this, while allowing the possibility of some exceptions. The question of the relationship of the Latin plays to their Greek models was first seriously addressed in the nineteenth century, mainly by German scholars, under the stimulus of Romantic criticism which attached paramount importance to originality in art. Since then the question has be

Hildegard of Bingen's Ordo Virtutum (c.1141), the earliest liturgical morality play, presents in small compass some of the Neoplatonic doctrines which formed the common property of theologians in the twelfth century, the most pervasive of which was that which posited a disparity between the sense-perceptible and intelligible realms, true reality being supposed to belong to the latter. For Hildegard, like her contemporaries, such a world-view is inseparable from symbolist modes of thought, and in this thesis explanations for the form and effect of Hildegard's use of rhetorical devices such as s

Abstract Latin is the only Italic language for which we have any information regarding accent, and the occurrence of tonic syllables in L is un­ related to PIE accentuation. Furthermore, it appears that between the PIE system of free accent and the historical L accent there intervened a period when all words were stressed on the first syllable; see 65. It was during this interim accentual system that most of the syncope and weakening of vowels described in 65-75 took place.

Abstract:
The mining sector plays a crucial role in the energy transition, providing essential materials for developing advanced technologies. With their vast resources, countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have the potential to become key drivers of this transition. This DEBrief summarizes the challenges and enabling factors for fostering private sector investment in the sustainable extraction of critical minerals for the energy transition, highlighting key points from recent IDB publications.

Abstract:
Venture capital investment has been found to be remarkably effective at stimulating innovation and job growth. Government policy plays an important part in creating an ecosystem in which venture capital and innovation can thrive. Yet government programs have also sunk billions of dollars into misguided efforts to inspire venture capital and innovation. In this paper, we examine the hallmarks of good and bad programs and then consider three programs adopted by governments in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Abstract:
Adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has been slow in Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) countries and is not widespread. There is a digital divide between and within countries, including a digital gap in firms' adoption of ICTs. Large and medium-sized enterprises generally have access to the Internet, but adoption of advanced ICTs is low for all firms in these economies, and small and micro enterprises lag way behind. The backwardness in ICT adoption is exacerbated when only a small fraction of society has high connectivity broadband. Thus the digital infrastructu

Abstract:
Eleven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have pledged to reach net-zero emissions by around 2050. Changes in the food system are key to reach these carbon neutrality goals, as agriculture and resulting land-use changes are responsible for almost half of greenhouse gas emissions in the region. We quantify the effect of supply-side (e.g., yield improvements, silvopasture, agroforestry) and demand-side (e.g., reduction of waste and losses, changing diets) options to reduce emissions and transform the land use system in a net carbon sink by 2050 while improving nutrition for the growing

Abstract:
The world is urgently facing the need for a “green transformation”, involving not only a transition towards the use renewable energy and reduction of biodiversity loss, but a deep social change towards social justice and sustainability. Such action requires social compromises between elites and popular sectors that allow the building of strong institutions to implement changes. Latin America is faced with huge tasks to increase equality, justice and sustainability, but it also plays a pivotal role in the global green transformation. The region is further characterized by both strong elites, st
