Purging parliament: a new christian politics in Papua New Guinea?

In November and December 2013, a controversy erupted in Papua New Guinea when the speaker of the national parliament, Theodore Zurenuoc, a devout Christian, tried to rid Parliament House of what he described as ‘ungodly images and idols’. Zurenuoc had already begun by removing the carvings from a lintel above the entrance to Parliament House, but planned to remove many more carvings throughout the building. His plans were strongly opposed, and considerable debate was generated in the two national newspapers and in social media. Those who opposed him saw him as a ‘religious fundamentalist’ and his actions as ‘sacrilege’ and ‘cultural terrorism’,1 while those who supported Zurenuoc’s plans saw him as a ‘God-fearing’, ‘modern-day Reformer’ and ‘God’s anointed vessel’. Despite the protests, which included a number of high-profile critics, and the intercession of the prime minister, the speaker was unrepentant, vowing to continue his work until there were ‘no traces of elements of cult and demonic worship in the national parliament of PNG’ (Evara 2013).

Language Contact of Portuguese During the Late Middle Ages and Its Effect on the Portuguese System of Address Forms. Towards the end of the Middle Ages, various noun phrases for reverential address (like Vossa Mercê) appear in Portuguese and enter into competition with the pronoun vos, finally leading to a restructuring of the system of address forms. Regarding these noun phrases, the present article tries to determine to which degree their appearance may be explained by linguistic contact between Portuguese and Spanish/Italian. For that purpose, the article describes, in the first part, the nature and intensity of these contacts. The second part analyses the reverential noun phrases in three 15th century chronicles which contain (some of) the oldest documented cases of this new strategy of address. REZUMAT. Contacte lingvistice ale limbii portugheze în Evul Mediu târziu şi efectele lor asupra sistemului adresării. Către sfârşitul Evului Mediu, îşi fac apariţia, în limba portugheză, diferite sintagme nominale de adresare reverenţioasă (precum Vossa Mercê), care încep să concureze pronumele vos, ducând ulterior la o restructurare a sistemului adresării. În legătura cu aceste sintagme, articolul de faţă încearcă să determine în ce măsură apariţia lor se explică prin contactul lingvistic al portughezei cu spaniola şi cu italiana. În acest scop, articolul informează, în prima parte, despre natura şi intensitatea acestor contacte. În partea a doua, sunt analizate sintagmele nominale de adresare reverenţioasă în trei cronici din sec. al XV-lea, care conţin (unele dintre) cele mai vechi atestări ale acestei noi strategii a adresării. Cuvinte-cheie: sistemul adresării, adresarea indirectă, sintagme nominale de adresare reverenţioasă, contact lingvistic, portugheza preclasică

Recent rituals of indigenous recognition in Australia: Welcome to Country

In this article, I examine the recent emergence in Australia of two small, and now regularly enacted, rituals: "Acknowledgments" and "Welcomes to Country." These are expressions of recognition, or response to perceived neglect and injustice. Recognition has become a global theme, part of a broader politics of reparation focused on indigenous and other colonized and subordinated peoples, and includes practices of apology and reconciliation. In Australia, recognition implies expansion the of relationship between categories of people who have been on unequal, distant, and (at some levels) negligible terms as settlers and natives, colonizers and colonized. Practices of recognition are therefore ambiguous: What is to be recognized, and how is recognition to proceed? Here I consider these rituals and their putative origins, structure, content, variations, and affect of participants and audiences. Both rituals cast recognition in ways that continue recent decades of national emphasis on indigenous emplacement, judgments concerning originariness, and authenticity; "Welcomes" also recast relations in terms of a host-guest framework. The emergence of these rituals fosters new kinds of indigenous public expression and receptions of recognition as well as some standardization of both. It is an indication of change, as well as of its limits in indigenous-nonindigenous relationships

Domestic violence, conflict resolution skills, and alcoholism: Treatment recommendations

Researchers agree that there is a relationship between alcoholism and domestic violence but theoretical perspectives have not established a correlation between the variables. Alcoholism and domestic violence are a manifestation of a complex system of family interactions characterized by inadequate communication skills
