Christian exegesis of the Song of Songs has long interacted creatively with - and, more recently, reacted critically against - the allegorical interpretation developed by Origen of Alexandria (c.185-c.254) in his Commentary and two Homilies on the Song of Songs. Interest in Origen's exegesis of the Song's narrative elements has dominated past scholarship, which has almost entirely ignored how Origen assesses the Song itself, in its unity as a revealed text. This study aims to show that the Commentary and Homilies - when read in light of Origen's hermeneutic, his nuptial theology, his understanding of the prophetic mediation of inspired texts, and his doctrine of last things - clearly portray the Song of Songs itself as the divine Bridegroom's perfect marriage-song. As such, it mediates Christ's eschatological presence, as the spirit' of Scripture, in and through the intelligible structures of the text itself.

Premchand is one of the most outstanding figures in twentieth-century Hindi literature. His novels and short stories dealing with the lives of everyday heroes have attained the status of classics. His works continue to be rediscovered and to captivate new generations of readers in India and abroad. The inhumanity of caste hierarchies and the plight of women stirred his indignation and remained constant themes through his works. Of his many novels, Rangbhumi (Battleground, 1924-5) depicts most graphically the devastation of peasant society and agriculture under colonial rule. Premchand treads the very tricky ground of tensions between the rulers and the ruled in this novel. Here, the ruled are the Indians and the rulers are an amalgam of the whites, the Indian landowners, and the Indian Christians. Rangbhumi spans the time between the 1920s and 1930s in pre-Independence India. It captures and celebrates the unassailable spirit of the common man, especially the farming community, whic h knows no defeat or submission, as its spirit is always on the mend, even as it is perceived to be finally crushed.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 1,0, Indiana University (Department of Political Science), course: Politics of Genocide, language: English, abstract: "Until now, when powerful men committed crimes against humanity, they knew that so long as they remained powerful, no earthly court could judge them." (Annan, Kofi, 07.28.1998) These words of Kofi Annan, at that time secretary-general of the United Nations, were spoken shortly after the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). They reflect the international effort to investigate and prosecute cruel crimes against humanity, war crimes, the crime of aggression and genocide. The intent of this paper is to present a stance on the question whether international indictments for crimes of mass murder in Darfur are appropriate and justified. It will be argued, that the international community has to punish perpetrators of mass violence under certain conditions, because of the following crucial points: (2.1) The international community has the moral and legal obligation to do so, (2.3) international justice should be pursued independently of regards to the peace process, (2.4) it may deter others and possibly produce domestic pressures and changes. Moreover, to be able to develop guidelines and policy recommendations the paper will also consider (2.2) the types of international punishment and who carries them out, as well as (2.5) examine the real capability of punishment and criteria of success. Before doing so, it is inevitable to (1.1) introduce the conflict, (1.2) the genocide debate and (1.3) the international response to the killings, because the stance on the use of international justice in Darfur is ultimately shaped by the interpretation of these issues.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: 1,0, Indiana University (Department of Political Science), course: Comparative Foreign Policy - Persian Gulf Simulation, language: English, abstract: The Persian Gulf and its littoral states Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE and Oman have witnessed several conflicts over the last decades. They have seen the Iran-Iraq war from 1980-1988 and the two Gulf Wars with U.S. involvement, that made the Persian Gulf a highly volatile region. Historically, the actions taken by America in the region have been driven by mainly two interests: First, ensuring a continued flow of oil exports of the countries and second, preventing a regional hegemon dominating the politics of the Persian Gulf. These interests had been brought to paper with the Carter Doctrine in 1980 in light of the growing assertiveness of the Soviet Union in the Persian Gulf. Since 9/11, there is also the interest of counterterrorism and today, another power after the Soviet Union tries to seize regional hegemony. The Persian Gulf is now home to a country ruled by a regime that wants to destroy the Israeli state and supports terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas to further destabilize the region. Furthermore, unrest or even clashes between Sunnis and Shiites in the Persian Gulf countries are possible as they are either majority or minority in a state and oppressed by the antagonistic ruling group. Iran is the main representative of the Shiites, while the GCC countries are ruled by Sunni leaders. The goal of this paper will be to show awareness of the problems in the Persian Gulf, address U.S. interests in the region, identify threats to these interests and provide policy recommendations in how the United States should pursue its Foreign Policy in the Persian Gulf. As this analysis is written through the lens of the Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs the Foreign Pol

"I came to Vietnam as a first lieutenant in the United States Air Force in the summer of 1963 for a 14-month tour of duty. Only a few months after my arrival, the coup events recorded here took place toppling Ngo Dinh Diem's Saigon regime, followed in a few weeks by the assassination of President Kennedy. In this book I will not attempt to give either a public history of the Vietnam War, or a private history of my own time there, but only a little flavor of my life leading up to the coup, and then the original diary notes, more or less verbatim, recording the terrible night of the coup itself, and the morning after." -- Christopher King

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Ferner Osten, Note: 1,0, Freie Universitat Berlin (Otto-Suhr-Institut), Veranstaltung: Einfuhrung in die Internationale Sicherheitspolitik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Despite years of good intentions, neither sanctions by the United States nor engagement by others succeeded in improving the lives of the Burmese people." (Barack Obama 2010) In der internationalen Staatenwelt gibt es keinen Konsens uber einen einheitlichen Umgang mit Myanmar (vgl. Bunte 2007: 5). Ab 1988 reagierte die EU, und in drastischerer Form auch die USA, mit umfassenden Sanktionen auf die Geschehnisse im Land. Diese leiteten das Jahrzehnt der Sanktionen" (Rudolf 2006: 7) in der internationalen Politik ein. Resolutionen des UN-Sicherheitsrats im Fall Myanmar scheiterten bislang am Veto von Russland und China mit der Begrundung, dass Myanmar keine Bedrohung fur die internationale Sicherheit darstelle (vgl. Bunte 2007: 5). Die UN kann somit hochstens eine vermittelnde Rolle einnehmen. Die Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) nahm Myanmar 1997 in die Gemeinschaft auf. Die Strategie der ASEAN gegenuber Myanmar, das constructive engagement," ist der praktische Gegensatz zu den Sanktionen des Westens. Statt Isolation werden die diplomatischen und wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen aufrechterhalten und weiterhin in das Land investiert, wahrend zugleich Menschenrechte und Demokratie eingefordert werden. Der Erfolg von Sanktionen wird in der Wissenschaft kontrovers diskutiert. Diese Hausarbeit wird von der Annahme ausgehen, dass beide skizzierte Modelle, gemessen an ihren tatsachlichen Zielen, uberwiegend politisch erfolglos geblieben sind. Im Fall Myanmar entspricht diese Auffassung der eingangs zitierten Regierungserklarung und wird auch vom Grossteil der Forschung geteilt (exemplarisch Bunte 2007: 5, Englehart 2010: 10, Haacke 2008: 351, Holliday 2005: 603, Steinberg 2004: 52). Aufbauend darauf geht di
