Literature and Sustainability : Concept, Text and Culture
How might literary scholarship engage with the sustainability debate?Aimed at research scholars and advanced students in literary and environmental studies, this collection brings together twelve essays by leading and up-coming scholars on the theme of literature and sustainability.In today’s sociopolitical world, sustainability has become a ubiquitous term, yet one potentially driven to near meaninglessness by the extent of its usage.While much has been written on sustainability in various domains, this volume sets out to foreground the contributions literary scholarship might make to notions of sustainability, both as an idea with a particular history and as an attempt to reconceptualise the way we live.Essays in this volume take a range of approaches, using the tools of literary analysis to interrogate sustainability’s various paradoxes and to examine how literature in its various forms might envisage notions of sustainability.

How can the text in Kotlin be changed based on the local time?
In Kotlin, the text can be changed based on the local time by using the `LocalDateTime` class to get the current time and then using conditional statements to determine which text to display. For example, if the current time is in the morning, the text can be set to "Good morning", and if it is in the evening, the text can be set to "Good evening". This can be achieved by using the `if-else` or `when` expressions to check the current time and update the text accordingly. Additionally, the `SimpleDateFormat` class can be used to format the time and display it in a specific way.

On and Off the Page : Mapping Place in Text and Culture
This collection of essays, comprised of research first presented at the seventh annual Louisiana Conference on Literature, Language, and Culture, explores one of the most pervasive, vexing, and alluring concepts in the Humanities, that of place. Including essays which encompass a broad range of research fields and methodologies, from Geography to Cybernetics, it presents a cross-section of approaches aimed revealing the complex cultural machinations behind what once may have seemed a static, one-dimensional topic.Investigations into the function of place as a force in contemporary culture inevitably reveal a long history of the interplay between place and cultural product, between 'context' and 'text'.Just as traditional cultures mythologize sacred spaces, so too has Western culture sanctified its own places through its literature. Imagined places such as Faulker's Yoknapatawpha or Joyce's Dublin become the focus of conferences and festivals; authors' homes, birthplaces, and gravesites are transformed into sites of pilgrimage; locales created for television shows and movies become actual businesses catering to a public for whom the line between fantasy and reality is increasingly blurred; and persisting through the great cultural shifts of the past two hundred years is the popular and romantic notion that words, performances, narratives, and even national identities are always in some way an expression of the places in which they are created and set.With the idea of place foregrounded in so much contemporary discourse, this collection promises to enter into an already lively debate and one which, due to its relevance to where we live and how we make sense of our own "places" within them, does not show any signs of flagging.

The Aynho Cartulary and its Documentary Culture : Study, Text, and Translation
A major contribution to scholarship on medieval roll cartularies, shedding light both on the Aynho Cartulary itself and on the wider social, political, and economic culture that produced it. Despite being one of the earliest and best preserved of its type in Britain and Ireland, the thirteenth-century roll cartulary of the wayfarer hospital of SS James and John in Aynho, Northamptonshire, has received almost no scholarly attention to date. This book offers the first full study of this fascinating document, which is now conserved in the archives of Magdalen College, Oxford, together with a critical edition and translation.Combining extensive historical and prosopographical research with a focussed examination of the cartulary's contents and a forensic scribal and material analysis, it takes an holistic approach to - and aims to provide a model for - the study of these types of artefacts and the documentary cultures and societies that produced them.Uniting three areas of scholarship which are rarely brought into dialogue (the study of medieval cartularies, rolls, and hospitals), the volume's innovative approach demonstrates how such an examination of the Aynho Cartulary can shed light on the social, political, economic, spiritual, and scribal networks within which this relatively obscure but well-connected hospital was situated.Written with experienced researchers and students in mind, this book is designed to be a go-to resource for both. RICHARD ALLEN is a researcher and archivist at Magdalen College, Oxford, UK. BENJAMIN POHL is Professor of Medieval History at the University of Bristol, UK.

How do text analysis and text criticism merge in a text-based discussion?
Text analysis involves examining the content and structure of a text to understand its meaning and implications, while text criticism involves evaluating the quality and authenticity of a text. In a text-based discussion, these two approaches merge by first analyzing the text to uncover its themes, symbols, and messages, and then critiquing its accuracy, coherence, and effectiveness. By combining text analysis and text criticism, participants in a discussion can gain a deeper understanding of the text's significance and engage in a more nuanced dialogue about its strengths and weaknesses.

Is this text sufficient as a termination text?
No, this text is not sufficient as a termination text. A termination text should clearly state the reason for termination, provide any necessary information regarding final pay or benefits, and offer next steps or contact information for further inquiries. This text lacks these essential components and does not effectively communicate the termination process to the recipient.

What is easier: text analysis or informational text?
Text analysis is generally considered more challenging than reading informational text. Analyzing text requires critical thinking skills, the ability to interpret and evaluate information, and often involves identifying underlying themes or messages. On the other hand, reading informational text typically involves understanding and processing factual information presented in a straightforward manner, making it easier for most people to comprehend compared to the more complex task of text analysis.
