Abstract:

Acquired dysgraphia refers to disorders of spelling or writing due to neurological damage in individuals with normal premorbid literacy skills. Dysgraphia can result from the disruption of central cognitive processes that also support spoken language and reading, so that spelling impairments frequently co-occur with aphasia and acquired alexia. The ability to produce written words can also be affected by damage to peripheral processes necessary to plan and execute the appropriate hand movements for letter generation or typing. In this chapter, we review the cognitive processes that support spe

Primarily, the society of the Eastern Empire was mostly Greek speaking, Christian, and specifically Roman i

Abstract:

This chapter examines a moment when the literary avant-garde returned to diary-writing and the writing subject, by focusing on Roland Barthes’s experiments with the diary (journal intime). These experiments take place in the context of his project for a ‘Vita Nova’ (seeking a unification of his life and writing, and a new, subjective form of literature), and are all related to his mourning for his mother. His Journal de deuil (written 1977–1979) pursues an impossible ideal of diary-writing, in which a univocal, fully present writing subject expresses a valuable interior experience to produce a

This book focuses on family-based interventions for the continuum of parent–child problems, including affinity, alignment, justified rejection, alienation, and hybrid cases. Reintegration therapy is often recommended for families with these dynamics, but relatively limited clinical writing and virtually no program evaluation data exist to inform the selection of interventions. This book helps fill this gap. In Part I, the authors review a range of topics related to this specialized area of practice: assessment and clinical decision-making, the state of research evidence for outpatient treatmen

This article examines the issues of plagiarism in the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It explains that the sources of Coleridge's writings have long fascinated critics. Coleridge's kindest critics have disentangled the components of his eclectically derivative corpus and compulsively devious practice, while his unkindest critic, Norman Fruman, has reacted against the canonical sentimentality that has transmogrified the real Coleridge into the ‘Da Vinci’ of literature. The article suggests that Coleridge crossed a qualitative line, that intangible border which separates plagiarists from the o

Abstract:

One of the greatest challenges Giorgio Agamben presents to his readers is the vast and often bewildering range of sources that he draws upon in his work. His books, written in an elegant and refined style that is also extremely dense and almost elliptical, venture into fields as diverse as aesthetics, religion, politics, law and ethics, with an uncommon erudition that ranges from ancient sources to medieval, modern and contemporary works in various disciplines and fields. Moreover, his peculiar ‘Italian’ style often plays with the ‘unsaid’ and practises the Benjaminian art of ‘quoting without

The systemic component consists of political groups, authors, and activists that are allowed or encouraged to participate in official mass media and public life. Main actors of the mainstream radical right include Vladimir Zhirinovskii’s Liberal-Democratic Party of Russia and

Or, it provides an essential component of the West’s ideological superstructure for globalization’s neoliberal business of rampant upward wealth accumulation.

The major task of syntactic theory is to define an explicit notation for writing grammars. This article details a framework called transformational grammar that

Familiarity with the theology of John Bunyan is important for the interpretation of his literary classics. That theology was Reformed, or Calvinist, focused on soteriology, and shaped by Bunyan’s search for faith and his experience in a Dissenting congregation on the borderline between Baptists and Independents. At its heart was an emphasis on the forgiveness of sins by a divine grace given without conditions, which Bunyan thought had been offered in the gospel to the worst of sinners, among whom he included himself.
