Goethe's essays have been culled for their literary, aesthetic, and scientific content, by the textuality and their location at the nexus of genre and literary history have not received the critical attention they deserve. In Idioms of Uncertainty, Peter Burgard analyzes the rhetorical strategies, structure, and style of pivotal essays and relates them to the essay traditions as represented by Montaigne and Johnson. By formulating the critique of systematic philosophy inherent in the essays and by investigating their participation in the principal aesthetic dialogue of the age--the Laocoön debate, which spanned nearly half a century--Burgard situates them in the context of eighteenth-century critical discourse. Furthermore, by disclosing the connection between the anti-systematic, dialogic impetus of Goethe's essayism and the theme of community in his literary works, Idioms of Uncertainty both draws out the broader social implications of the essay and shows how the analysis of Goethe's work in the genre can illuminate his entire oeuvre. In the course of the study Burgard articulates a theory of the essay as a genre by drawing on twentieth-century theoretical perspectives for his exposition of Goethe's textual strategies: theories of the essay from Lukacs, Bense, and Adorno; the textual theories of Bakhtin, Kristeva, Barthes, and Derrida; and Rorty's notion of literary-philosophical conversation. Idioms of Uncertainty thus holds interest for those concerned with genre theory and literary theory in general; and through its challenging of clichés about German literature at the time it assumed international significance, the book will be useful not only for Goethe scholars but also for scholars of the eighteenth century across disciplines and national boundaries.

Every language, whether primitive, ancient, medieval, pre-modern or modern possesses its own collection of wise, short, pithy and apt sayings accumulated from the nascent stage of its growth and development. These wise sayings, emerging as a group of words in current usage, are known as "Idioms" or "adages" and if they become longer ones as "proverbs." Thus, all the idioms may be regarded as words, phrases or expressions which are commonly used in everyday conversation by the native speakers of English. It is found that idioms are very often seem metaphorical thus making the language more colourful and attractive facilitating people to utilize them to express their ideas, opinions and sentiments more vividly as well as more briefly and with clarity. All these idiomatic pithy and apt sayings seem to offer advice to people about how to live in society and also have become successful in transferring some underlying ideas, principles and accepted values of a given culture or a society. Because of the fact that idioms serve as an image or mental picture, they become more appealing and vociferous. By learning English idiomatic expressions in the proper perspective will, in no uncertain terms, quintessentially as well as invariably help English-speaking people the world over to enhance and improve their knowledge and skills in their everyday conversational English. Particularly, in times such as the present day, where the flawless and flowery English Language and Communication evidently seems to fast deteriorating in its quality and versatility the world over, it should be the profound duty and conscientious responsibility, if not, the onerous task of the erudite scholars as well as educationists to make their appearance and endeavour to contribute their mite towards the propagation of all the spheres encompassing English Language and Communication in no mean magnitude. Thus, what you could see hereunder is a compendium of such idiomatic expressions in English with their simple meanings. However, it is reiterated that by no means this collection is comprehensive and exhaustive.

Managing Uncertainty written by Richard Jenkins and has been published by Museum Tusculanum Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2005 with Anthropology categories.
The overall focus of this book is the ways humans deal with life conditions, with destiny, uncertainty and misfortune - how we try to control the risks of living through medicines, technologies and magic. When dealing with questions of health and illness rational solutions and meaningful explanations may be hard to find, and treatment efforts are often guided just as much by hope as by rational choice. Evaluating the risks of illness is just one of a number of ways in which human beings attempt to exert some sense of control over their lives. New methods of testing for ills and new developments in, for example, genetic screening and in vitro fertilisation combined with the growing demands of well-informed patients seem to have turned concern from the actual problems of specific diseases toward controlling life and the risks of living in general. The chapters of this book reflect a common effort to transgress the limits of the medical by drawing on a fundamental concern with the logic of social and cultural practice. The book represents a de-medicalization of medical anthropology and a return to some of the classic themes in anthropology but with a different approach, emphasizing subjectivity, intentionality and agency.

Using sources from classical to modern that broach the phenomenon of uncertainty and its relation to risk, this book creates a novel approach to the recognized but theoretically often unattended issue of uncertainty. Andreas Klinke develops a new, general theory of uncertainty that provides a taxonomy of categories which are deduced from a critical inventory in philosophy, social and natural sciences, and risk research. Comprising six parts, the philosophical grounding of uncertainty sets the stage for the following philosophical and social scientific accounts and explanation of four distinctive guises of uncertainty that form a taxonomic notion and rationale: ontological, epistemological, linguistic-communicative, and teleological uncertainty. The theoretical-conceptual rumination provides a complex, differentiated view of the anatomy of uncertainty and an understanding that can be used in further theoretical and empirical research, as well as socio-political practice. The latter is delineated in the final part addressing the societal domestication of uncertainty. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students in philosophy, social and natural sciences, risk research, as well as inter- and transdisciplinary science fields.

Idioms have long been of interest to research in linguistics as well as literary studies. In the existing research, however, the aesthetic productivity of idiomatic ambiguity has never been in focus. The present study on Idioms and Ambiguity in Context fills this gap by analyzing a corpus of children’s literature—traditionally characterized by a high measure of wordplay and ambiguity—both in a linguistic and literary perspective. Looking at the connection between context and understanding of idiomatic expressions in either their phrasal or their compositional reading, the study explores how ambiguity is activated, if, how, and when it is perceived on the different levels of communication, and how literary texts use this ambiguity in playful ways.
