Come the Millennium, Where the University? The emergence of the western university, beginning roughly with the second millennium AD and associated first with Bologna, Paris, Montpellier, Oxford, and a few other cities is indeed a millenarian phenomenon that, while it has not led to the rule of saints, has contributed much to the improvement of the human condition. The notion is that a few decades into its second millennium the university as a corporeal entity will not be "much as it has been" if, indeed, it will continue to exist in a recognizable form. The early decades of this second millennium may bring more changes to universities than their first thousand years. www.stanford.edu /dept/pres-provost/president/speeches/950418millennium.html

Turn Your Radio On - The Unions' Answer to Right-Wing Static Now that there's a whole day's lineup of progressive/liberal talk programming for this listener and the hundred million or so like him, we're seeing the early stages of a Second Great Renaissance in AM radio. According to Michael Harrison, publisher of the leading industry publication Talkers Magazine, there are today "approximately 1300 commercial talk stations in the United States." This is a substantial uptick from the 75 or so such stations that existed in 1980, and it's generally a profitable niche. In most cities, existing contracts and inertia mean its going to take some time - as it did for Limbaugh - before i.e.'s liberal programming reaches into all the nation's radio markets. www.commondreams.org /views03/0811-02.htm   (1639 words)

Literary Review: Houdinis of the Strict-Metres: The Poetry of Twm Morys and Emyr Lewis - Critical Essay It is no surprise therefore, in an age so susceptible to personal performances via multimedia, television and radio, that strict-metre poetry regained its popularity in the 1990s--to the extent that some critics have been prompted to talk of a second renaissance. Cerdd Dafod, or the strict-metre tradition of The Twenty-four Metres in Welsh poetry, is infamous for controversy. The tradition of performing poetry, in particular, cynghanedd or the strict metres, is nothing new of course. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2078/is_2_44/ai_71317869   (1356 words)

Medieval and Renaissance Book Production: Manuscript Books The printed fifteenth-century book was a direct imitation of the contemporary manuscript book.[ 1 ] Yet perhaps talk of imitation is misleading. All eleven of the second-century books are papyrus codices. It is highly unlikely that the well-developed book industry of the ancient world would have altered its perfectly acceptable practices in producing rolls in exchange for codices without some external pressure.[ 6 ] And this is the key, because all of the traditional points in favor of the codex are internal or intrinsic. www.ku.edu /~bookhist/medbook1.html   (1356 words)

NIN: Guilty until proven innocent - collective responsibility of Serbs Talk of collective responsibility is relatively unpopular among the ranks of democratic politicians in the West, who will indignantly and between two yawns cite tenets from contemporary humanism and the Renaissance to the effect that a nation can never be guilty: the guilt is always that of the regime which has deceived and manipulated it. Ignoring responsibilities from the Second World War, in which all nations had their patriots and their criminals and proportionally killed and were killed, has led to a new eruption of nationalism for which, certainly, not only television was to blame. The campaign for the establishment of collective responsibility is based on the fact that the presidents of all Serbian countries and commanders of all Serbian armies (Martic, Karadzic, Milosevic, Milutinovic, Mrksic, Mladic, Ojdanic) have been indicted by the international war crimes tribunal. www.ex-yupress.com /nin/nin21.html   (2570 words)

Renaissance garden design in Northern Italy In the centre axial line are the court, the first and second terraces, and the clump of oaks; the meadow is be- hind, and at the end of all is the vedetta, The view from the roof paths must have shown a very imposing general garden scene. At his table the meal was enlivened by clever talk on subjects which they had in common, and afterwards came poetry and music. The tradition of the antique villa was preserved in the inside arrangement of rooms round a central pillared court that enclosed a marble fountain, but the outside showed the marks of a mediaeval castle in warlike times. www.gardenvisit.com /got/7/7.htm   (4172 words)

SHAKESPEARE AND RENAISSANCE ASSOCIATION Second, Segal’s definition of an agelast, that he is always "on the job" (70), is significant to Iago’s character: in a literal sense, Iago, unlike Cappadox, joins the celebration with Cassio and Montano. The contrast between text and talk, for Christians, is theological: scripture is only a substitute for the living word, Jesus, and thus needs to be infused with and interpreted by the Spirit (John 5.38-40, 2 Cor. The genre of John Bunyan’s protean The Pilgrim’s Progress is not easy to specify; literary dialogue is not perhaps the leading candidate. www.marshall.edu /engsr/SR1997.html   (4172 words)

LASSUS "Again, no one with any knowledge of sixteenth-century music, or, for that matter, of musical terminology in general could possibly talk of the Polyphonic Motets of Lassus. First,...this dip into the past is quite consistent with Holmes's other literary activities of the period;...second, it so happens that in 1894, the year before Holmes turned his attention to de Lassus, two important and relevant events occurred: Messrs. June 14, 1594, Munich), was a Flemish composer whose music stands at the apex of the Franco-Netherlandish style that dominated European music of the Renaissance. webpages.charter.net /lklinger/lassus.htm   (4172 words)
