This volume explores properties of 'sit', 'stand', and 'lie' verbs, reflecting three of the most salient postures associated with humans. An introductory chapter by the Editor provides an overview of directions for research into posture verbs. These directions are then explored in detail in a number of languages: Dutch; Korean; Japanese; Lao; Chantyal, Magar (Tibeto-Burman); Chipewyan (Athapaskan); Trumai (spoken in Brazil); Kxoe (Khoisan); Mbay (Nilo-Saharan); Oceanic; Enga, Ku Waru (Papuan); Arrernte, Pitjantjatjara, Ngan'gityemerri (Australian). The contributors discuss data relevant to many fields of linguistic inquiry, including patterns of lexicalization (e.g., simplex or complex verb forms), morphology (e.g., state vs. action formations), grammaticalization (e.g., extension to locational predicates, aspect markers, auxiliaries, copulas, classifiers), and figurative extension. A final chapter reports on an experimental methodology designed to establish the relevant cognitive parameters underlying speakers' judgements on the polysemy of English stand. Taken together, the chapters provide a wealth of cross-linguistic data on posture verbs.

Existentialism is a 20th century philosophical term which is centered on the analysis of existence and of the way humans finds themselves existing in the world. The notion is that humans exist first and then each individual spends a lifetime changing their essence or nature. It is a sophisticated philosophy that deals with the definite attitude of looking at life, recently has been simplified and applied to all sorts of people and activities that are tenuously connected with existentialism. The philosophy begins from man and his existence as a subject and not an object. The existentialists think passionately about man's existence and treat him not only as a thinking subject but an initiator of action and a centre of feeling. Mulk Raj Anand, a young and recalcitrant Indian decided to take writing as a profession. He rose to prominence with his maiden novel, Untouchable, (1935) depicting the cries of lower classes of people. His portrayal of Bakha created havoc in the intellectual minds.

First published in 1990, East of Existentialism was written to explore new perspectives on eternal questions such as ‘Who am I?’, ‘Why am I here?’, and ‘Where am I going?’. The book brings together insights from existentialism in the West and Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism in the East, and presents practical case studies throughout to show the student how apparently abstruse themes relate to real-life situations. Divided into three parts, the first considers major Western contributions to the themes of human nature and destiny. The central section examines the connection between existentialism in the West and dominant philosophical schools in India and China. The last three chapters explore the relevance of Eastern ideas to Western thought, not only to provide philosophical theory but also to offer a greater understanding of moral and social dilemmas and of practical living. A full glossary explains the technical terms used in the book. East of Existentialism will appeal to those with an interest in philosophy and religious studies.

Cybernetic-Existentialism: Freedom, Systems, and Being-for-Others in Contemporary Arts and Performance offers a unique discourse and an original aesthetic theory. It argues that fusing perspectives from the philosophy of Existentialism with insights from the ‘universal science’ of cybernetics provides a new analytical lens and deconstructive methodology to critique art. In this study, Steve Dixon examines how a range of artists’ works reveal the ideas of Existentialist philosophers including Kierkegaard, Camus, de Beauvoir, and Sartre on freedom, being and nothingness, eternal recurrence, the absurd, and being-for-others. Simultaneously, these artworks are shown to engage in complex explorations of concepts proposed by cyberneticians including Wiener, Shannon, and Bateson on information theory and ‘noise’, feedback loops, circularity, adaptive ecosystems, autopoiesis, and emergence. Dixon’s groundbreaking book demonstrates how fusing insights and knowledge from these two fields can throw new light on pressing issues within contemporary arts and culture, including authenticity, angst and alienation, homeostasis, radical politics, and the human as system.

The zero coding of referents or other clausal constituents is one of the most natural, communicatively and cognitively-transparent grammatical devices in human language. Together with its functional equivalent, obligatory pronominal agreement, zero is both extremely widespread cross-linguistically and highly frequent in natural text. In the domain of reference, zero represents, somewhat paradoxically, either anaphorically-governed high continuity or cataphorically-governed low topicality. And whether in conjoined/chained or syntactically-subordinate clauses, zero is extremely well-governed, at a level approaching 100% in natural text. The naturalness, cross-language ubiquity and well-governedness of zero have been largely obscured by an approach that, for 30-odd years, has considered it a typological exotica, the so-called "pro-drop" associated with a dubious "non-configurational" language type. The main aim of this book is to reaffirm the naturalness, universality and well-governedness of zero by studying it from four closely related perspectives: (i) cognitive and communicative function; (ii) natural-text distribution; (iii) cross-language typological distribution; and (iv) the diachronic rise of referent coding devices. The latter is particularly central to our understanding the functional interplay between zero anaphora, pronominal agreement and related referent-coding devices.

Winner of the 2010 Royal Society Prize for science books Powerful new research methods are providing fresh and vivid insights into the makeup of life. Comparing gene sequences, examining the atomic structure of proteins and looking into the geochemistry of rocks have all helped to explain creation and evolution in more detail than ever before. Nick Lane uses the full extent of this new knowledge to describe the ten greatest inventions of life, based on their historical impact, role in living organisms today and relevance to current controversies. DNA, sex, sight and consciousnesses are just four examples. Lane also explains how these findings have come about, and the extent to which they can be relied upon. The result is a gripping and lucid account of the ingenuity of nature, and a book which is essential reading for anyone who has ever questioned the science behind the glories of everyday life.

In recent years, the literature of India has seen a remarkable resurgence with writers exploring diverse themes and narratives that reflect the complexity of the postcolonial experience. This edited volume, "Writing the Postcolonial Nation: Contemporary Indian Voices in English", brings together a collection of essays that delve into the portrayal of postcolonial features in the works of contemporary Indian writers. In the realm of literature, the impact of colonialism on the cultural and social fabric of a nation is a topic that has garnered much attention and debate. The echoes of colonial rule reverberate through the works of contemporary Indian writers in English, as they grapple with the legacy of imperialism and its lasting effects on their identities and narratives. This edited volume delves into the portrayal of postcolonial features in the works of these authors, exploring how they navigate and negotiate the complexities of a postcolonial world. The essays in this collection offer a multi-faceted analysis of contemporary Indian writing in English, examining the various ways in which writers engage with and subvert colonial discourse. From reimagining historical events to challenging traditional power structures, these authors use their stories to reclaim and redefine their cultural identities in a postcolonial context. Through a lens of postcolonial theory, the contributors to this volume shed light on how Indian writers in English interrogate the legacies of colonialism and envision new possibilities for a decolonized future. One of the central themes explored in this book is the notion of hybridity, a concept that reflects the blending of multiple cultural influences and identities. Indian writers in English often navigate this space of hybridity, drawing from both indigenous traditions and Western literary forms to create works that are uniquely Indian yet globally resonant. By embracing their diverse cultural heritage, these authors challenge essentialist notions of identity and offer a nuanced understanding of postcolonial experience. Another key focus of this volume is the concept of agency, as seen through the portrayal of marginalized voices and perspectives in contemporary Indian literature. Through the lens of post colonialism, the contributors to this volume analyze how writers empower themselves and their communities through storytelling, reclaiming their narratives from the confines of colonial discourse. By centering the voices of the marginalized and dispossessed, these authors challenge the dominant narratives of power and privilege and offer a counter-narrative that speaks truth to power. As editors of this volume, we hope to contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding post colonialism and contemporary Indian literature in English.

The book Decolonial Existence and Urban Sensibility: A Study on Mahesh Elkunchwar meticulously reflects upon some of the selected translated plays of Marathi playwright Mahesh Elkunchwar. It revolves around the themes of decolonial existence and urban sensibility in contemporary India as portrayed in his plays with respect to post-independent urban existence, socio-cultural existence and gender. The book also looks forward to establish a counterargument against the idealized and totalitarian definitions of West-centric existentialist philosophy, and establish indigenous dimensions of decolonial existence within specific contexts. It dismantles the colonially structured existing binaries of urban/rural, ethical/unethical and high culture/low culture through the diverse portrayal of human relationships in contemporary India and broadly addresses two inter-mingled perspectives. Firstly, it outlines the thematic and dramatic perspectives of the selected plays of Mahesh Elkunchwar and secondly, it explores the multi-dimensional philosophical perspectives that encapsulate the theoretical latitude of decoloniality and urban sensibility.
