    In the week between July 21 and 25, 2014, the University of Warsaw hosted more than three hundred Assyriologists from all over the world. In the course of five days, nearly 150 papers were read in three (and sometimes four) parallel sessions. Many of them were delivered within the framework of nine thematic workshops. The publication of most of these panels is underway, in separate volumes. As is usually the case, the academic sessions were accompanied by many opportunities for social interaction among the participants, and there was time to enjoy the historical and cultural benefits of Warsaw. Special honor was accorded to two American Assyriologists whose origins can be traced to Warsaw, Piotr Michalowski and Piotr Steinkeller, and a special session to recognize their contributions to the study of ancient Mesopotamia was organized. In this book are presented papers on the main theme of the meeting, "Fortune and Misfortune in the Ancient Near East." The 31 essays are organized into 5 sections: (1) plenary presenations on "What Is Fortune? What Is Misfortune?" (2) humanity and fortune/misfortune and luck, with discussion of specific examples; (3) additional papers on definitions of fortune and misfortune; (4) the effects on city and state; and (5) God and temple

    The role of chance in historiography is a major question for the analysis of cultural transformations. Its main subject are the transformations of contingentia itself, which has undergone substantial changes in its mythical forms (as Tyche or Fortuna) as well in its historical expressions in philosophy, theology, politics, sciences, literature and art.

    "Encounters in the Arts, Literature, and Philosophy focuses on chance and scripted encounters as sites of tensions and alliances where new forms, ideas, meanings, interpretations, and theories can emerge. By moving beyond the realm of traditional hermeneutics, Jérôme Brillaud and Virginie Greene have compiled a volume that vitally illustrates how reading encounters represented in artefacts, texts, and films is a vibrant and dynamic mode of encountering and interpreting. With contributions from esteemed academics such as Christie McDonald, Pierre Saint-Amand, Susan Suleiman, and Jean-Jacques Nattiez, this book is a multidisciplinary collaboration between scholars from a range of disciplines including philosophy, literature, musicology and film studies. It uses examples chiefly from French culture and covers the Early Modern era to the twentieth century while providing a thorough and representative array of theoretical and hermeneutical approaches"--

Peters -- Chance: Conrad’s A Portrait of a Feminist /Yumiko Iwashimizu -- Ships in the Night: Intimacy, Narration, and the Endless Near Misses of Chance /Mark Deggan -- Contributors /Allan H. Simmons and Susan Jones. When Joseph Conrad’s novel Chance appeared in serial form in the New York Herald in 1912 and in book form in 1914 it established the author’s financial security for the first time. Following years of struggle to reach a wide audience for his fiction, Conrad benefitted from the American marketing of this novel for the women readers of romance. Aggressive advertising promoted the writer’s new focus on a female protagonist and Conrad’s division of the story’s location between land and sea. The novel proved popular and lucrative. Yet in spite of its economic success, Chance remains one of Conrad’s less well-known narratives. This fresh new collection of essays from both young and established scholars opens up a lively critical debate taking Chance beyond the status of best-selling romance. In a striking re-evaluation of the novel these writers examine Chance ’s innovative narrative strategies, its up-to-the-minute commentary on female politics, contemporary ethics, as well as its antecedents in classical debate and the significance of Conrad’s last use of his seaman narrator Marlow

    Wer scheitert, gilt in der Leistungsgesellschaft als erfolglos. Doch ist Scheitern stets ein Makel?Die Herausgeber Harald Pechlaner, Brigitte Stechhammer, Hans H. Hinterhuber und weitere Autoren beleuchten das Phänomen des individuellen, persönlichen Scheiterns unvoreingenommen im gesellschaftlichen Kontext. Sie geben dabei Antworten u. a. auf diese Fragen:- Was ist Scheitern aus Sicht der Soziologie, der Psychologie, der Wirtschaft, der Kunst und anderen Wissenschaften?- Wie begegnet man offen und ohne übermäßige Angst dem Risiko des Scheiterns?- Wie können Misserfolge und Fehler als Impuls zur Selbsterneuerung genutzt werden?Eine fundierte Analyse für alle, die das Wechselspiel von Erfolg und Misserfolg besser verstehen wollen.

In the course of five days, nearly 150 papers were read in three (and sometimes four) parallel sessions. Many of them were delivered within the framework of nine thematic workshops. The publication of most of these panels is underway, in separate volumes. As is usually the case, the academic sessions were accompanied by many opportunities for social interaction among the participants, and there was time to enjoy the historical and cultural benefits of Warsaw. Special honor was accorded to two American Assyriologists whose origins can be traced to Warsaw, Piotr Michalowski and Piotr Steinkeller, and a special session to recognize their contributions to the study of ancient Mesopotamia was organized. In this book are presented papers on the main theme of the meeting, “Fortune and Misfortune in the Ancient Near East.” The 31 essays are organized into 5 sections: (1) plenary presenations on “What Is Fortune? What Is Misfortune?” (2) humanity and fortune/misfortune and luck, with discussion of specific examples; (3) additional papers on definitions of fortune and misfortune; (4) the effects on city and state; and (5) God and temple

    Wer scheitert, gilt in der Leistungsgesellschaft als erfolglos. Doch ist Scheitern stets ein Makel?Die Herausgeber Harald Pechlaner, Brigitte Stechhammer, Hans H. Hinterhuber und weitere Autoren beleuchten das Phänomen des individuellen, persönlichen Scheiterns unvoreingenommen im gesellschaftlichen Kontext. Sie geben dabei Antworten u. a. auf diese Fragen:- Was ist Scheitern aus Sicht der Soziologie, der Psychologie, der Wirtschaft, der Kunst und anderen Wissenschaften?- Wie begegnet man offen und ohne übermäßige Angst dem Risiko des Scheiterns?- Wie können Misserfolge und Fehler als Impuls zur Selbsterneuerung genutzt werden?Eine fundierte Analyse für alle, die das Wechselspiel von Erfolg und Misserfolg besser verstehen wollen.
