L'Affaire des deux taureaux (Flaubert)
The bull that charges at Félicité in A Simple Heart is \"transfictional\" in the sense Richard Saint-Gelais gives to the term in Fictions transfuges (2011). It is the same bull the reader encounters during the agricultural show in Madame Bovary that reappears, resurrected, unleashed by Flaubert in all its fury. In Madame Bovary , there is both an animalization of humanity and a masculinization of the heroine, Emma. Therefore, the \"return\" of the bull in A Simple Heart is the return of Emma in taurine form. Emma Bovary dies and is resurrected. This article analyzes the significance of those events.

On the Real Roots of Systems of Transcendental Equations
The work is devoted to finding the number of real roots of systems of transcendental equations.

Therefore, the number of real roots is related with the number of real roots of the resultant of the system.

A separation
\"A mesmerizing, psychologically taut novel about a marriage's end and the secrets we all carry. A young woman has agreed with her faithless husband: it's time for them to separate. For the moment it's a private matter, a secret between the two of them. As she begins her new life, she gets word that Christopher has gone missing in a remote region in the rugged south of Greece; she reluctantly agrees to go and search for him, still keeping their split to herself. In her heart, she's not even sure if she wants to find him. Adrift in the wild landscape, she traces the disintegration of their relationship, and discovers she understands less than she thought about the man she used to love. A story of intimacy and infidelity, A Separation is about the gulf that divides us from the lives of others and the narratives we create for ourselves. As the narrator reflects upon her love for a man who may never have been what he appeared, Kitamura propels us into the experience of a woman on the brink of catastrophe. A Separation is a riveting stylistic masterpiece of absence and presence that will leave the reader astonished, and transfixed\"-- Provided by publisher.
BOOK
Straight Men’s Same-Sex Behavior
In this article, the author addresses why some straight-identified men are primarily attracted to women, but have sex with men. This typically happens because they think that extramarital sex with men is less threatening to their marriages than extramarital sex with women. Additionally, many live what they consider a “straight life” and believe that sex with men is irrelevant to their identities.

Ancient Greek Law in a near Eastern Context : Comparative Case Studies of Homicide Pollution and Adultery Law in Greece and the near East
This thesis comprises two case studies which each examine a point of Greek law in the context of the Near East. Significant work has been done in recognising that the Greeks were in a network of exchange with the Near East; but whilst progress has been made in areas such as literature, less work has been done in legal history. In part, this is because a similarity found in a law cannot point to influence in the way it can in other fields. A difference in constitutional law has also erected a barrier. In the case of private law, however, the issues facing the Greeks were the same as the ones facing their neighbours. The first case study focuses on Athenian homicide pollution; which has been influenced by studies such as that of Robert Parker who believed it to be a relic of an earlier period that had no place in Classical Athens. A comparative study with similar beliefs in the Hebrew Bible instead demonstrates that in each society it represented the concerns of the community, who could not otherwise be involved in what was legally a private offence. The second focuses on adultery law. The Greeks differed from their neighbours in subsuming adultery into the broader offence of moicheia, and a comparative study with Near Eastern adultery law demonstrates that this created an important difference in how it was punished. In the Near East, adultery was an offence committed by the wife and her lover against the husband, who was required to mete out an equal level of punishment to each. In Athens and Gortyn, the offence was by the moichos, and no punishment was imposed on the woman. Collectively, these case studies help to demonstrate the value of studying Greek legal history in a wider regional context.
