Assemblage

Article Abstract:

Assemblage is a sort of anti-structural concept that permits the researcher to speak of emergence, heterogeneity, the decentered and the ephemeral in nonetheless ordered social life. A study demonstrates how, in newer works of cultural analysis, the concept of 'assemblage' is derived from key sources of theory and put to work to provide a structure-like surrogate to express certain prominent values of a modernist sensibility in the discourse of description and analysis.

The religious roots of mathematics

Article Abstract:

Contemporary science relies upon mathematics, which has always been closely connected with religious beliefs in the West as well as in Islamic rational theology. Christian rational theologians regarded mathematics as teaching a 'universal' means of argument and proof aimed at those who did not accept an appeal to their scriptures as a means of proof.

Ethnopoetics

Article Abstract:

The word 'ethnopoetics' comes from the terms 'ethno', that is, people are not usually recognized as having poetic form, and 'poetic' because the writing is in lines and groups of lines. Linguists are working to discover often-unconscious patterns of expression, which exist probably everywhere in oral narratives.
