🔹 In the vast field of the humanities, the history of philosophy has established itself as an essential pillar for understanding the streams of thought that have shaped society over the years. This field of study not only focuses on analyzing philosophical concepts and arguments through time but also investigates how these ideas have been recorded, interpreted, and transmitted, highlighting the importance of historiography in the process.  Thanks to this 100% online master's program, you will explore the main philosophical movements, from antiquity to modernity, and delve into how these have influenced the development of society and knowledge. Throughout this academic journey, you will deepen your study of Latin and Greek, the philosophical reflection of the patristic and medieval eras, the history of art, as well as the foundations of modern and contemporary philosophy.  🔸 Enroll now and enhance your historical and philosophical perspective thanks to TECH.  https://bit.ly/3wxB8sc   🗓️ 1 year | 📘 60 ECTS Credits | 💻 Google Premier Partner 2023  #techtitute #philosophy #historiography #modernphilosophy

“We study the past to help us live well in the present and contribute positively to the future.” Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History, Dr Leanne McNamara, teaches subjects about the history, language and culture of ancient Greek and Roman society. “From classical mythology and ancient medicine through to modern film and television depictions – the subjects I teach explore the fascinating worlds of ancient Greece and Rome.” According to Dr McNamara, while this history is interesting, it is also profoundly relevant to the modern world. “Students learn about civilisations that are foundational to many modern forms of government and contemporary ways of thinking about the world. They also learn about the ways in which Greek and Roman literature, art and architecture still influence modern cultural output." "At the same time, these civilisations were very different from our own. Reflecting on these differences allows students to challenge our assumptions about ourselves and others, our institutions and relationships, and our place in the world,” she says. Dr McNamara believes that the study of Classics and Ancient History exposes students to a truly multidisciplinary area. “Students are exposed to different methodological approaches to studying texts, archaeological artefacts and languages. They also learn to think critically, to evaluate evidence rigorously, to analyse closely, to communicate clearly and to work collaboratively.” Read more: https://bit.ly/4du3UL3 #LaTrobeHumanitiesAndSocialSciences #LaTrobeUniversity

This article argues that Emile Habiby’s The Pessoptimist (1974) reinvented the Palestinian novel of resistance literature within a new literary genre, post-realism. Habiby’s masterpiece employs a complex, noncommittal narrative that in many ways defies, even eludes understanding, and this is its strength. To make the narrative more approachable, this paper attempts to contextualise the novel within a postmodern sub-genre, post-realism of resistance literature, making its more subtle and hidden meanings and dimensions reveal themselves. To deepen the analysis, narrative strategies of resistance literature employed in the novel are compared and contrasted to a similar postmodernist novel, Ralph Waldo Ellison’s Invisible Man (1952). Ultimately, the article contributes to developing a new sub-genre, post-realism, within the main, mother genre of postmodernism, which can not only be seen as a reinvention of the Palestinian novel, but also be used widely in literary studies.

My paper published by the Journal of the British Academy: "Traumatogenic Metaphors and Religious Motifs in Niger Delta Ecopoetry" https://lnkd.in/dixpNKJS Abstract: The Niger Delta has been a site of trauma as a result of decades of non-stop environmental pollution. Existing studies have explored the socio-political and economic implications of pollution and its quotidian impact on the lived experiences of the people. This study, however, focuses on ecopoetry as a genre that reflects, and reflects on, the trauma of ecological degradation and the spiritual implications for the Niger Delta. By doing so, it explores traumatogenic metaphors and religious motifs in ecopoetry from the region. This informs the purposive selection of two Niger Delta poetry collections—Tanure Ojaide’s Songs of Myself: Quartet (2015) and Stephen Kekeghe’s Rumbling Sky (2020). The poems are subjected to critical literary analysis, undergirded by Jacob Olupona’s perspective of ecology of religion and Stef Craps’ trauma theory, to examine how the impact of environmental degradation on the mental health and spiritual well-being of the people is poetically addressed.
