In order that there may be no confusion in this instruction it will be meet in this chapter to explain at what time and season it behoves the spiritual person to lay aside the task of discursive meditation as carried on through the imaginations and forms and figures above mentioned, in order that he may lay them aside neither sooner nor later than when the Spirit bids him for, although it is meet for him to lay them aside at the proper time in order that he may journey to God and not be hindered by them, it is no less needful for him not to lay aside the said imaginative meditation before the proper time lest he should turn backward. Wherein are set down the signs which the spiritual person will find in himself whereby he may know at what season it behoves him to leave meditation and reasoning and pass to the state of contemplation. ![]()

Resumen El término de vulnerabilidad se ha aplicado a diversas áreas de conocimiento, especialmente en los últimos años. This leads to conclude that vulnerability can be used as a tool of resistance against patriarchal customs. In this way, a reflection on the current ways of exploiting women's vulnerability in contemporary west societies is provided. ![]() Drawing from Judith Butler's notion of the epistemological frames and Emmanuel Levinas's ethical encounter, the female leading characters of the novels are analysed. With this approach, two very popular novels are analysed: Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train (2015), and Into the Water (2017). In this article I aim to reorient the notion of vulnerability, understanding it as a permeable and dynamic term that facilitates the ethical encounter among individuals and that helps vulnerable subjects to regain agency. However, its denotation has been traditionally attached to negative ideas, such as weakness, passivity or susceptibility to abuse, which results in the victimisation of vulnerable subjects. The notion of vulnerability has been applied to diverse areas of knowledge, particularly in the last years. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In true Abercrombie fashion violence is coupled with humour, wealth contends with poverty, bloodshed is juxtaposed with tender moments, and the lines between good and evil are never quite defined. ![]() Life has never been easy in the First Law world, but now the effects of progress and profit have detrimental consequences to those who are used to a more simple way of life.

The Fianna Cycle focuses on the exploits of the mythical hero Finn and his warrior band the Fianna, including the lengthy Acallam na Senórach ("Tales of the Elders"). The Ulster Cycle consists of heroic legends relating to the Ulaid, the most important of which is the epic Táin Bó Cúailnge ("Cattle Raid of Cooley"). Important works in the cycle are the Lebor Gabála Érenn ("Book of Invasions"), a legendary history of Ireland, the Cath Maige Tuired ("Battle of Moytura"), and the Aided Chlainne Lir (" Children of Lir"). The Mythological Cycle consists of tales and poems about the god-like Túatha Dé Danann, who are based on Ireland's pagan deities, and other mythical races like the Fomorians.

McLuhan says "Indeed, it is only too typical that the 'content' of any medium blinds us to the character of the medium". The content of the medium is a message that can be easily grasped and the character of the medium is another message which can be easily overlooked. McLuhan uses the term 'message' to signify content and character. He showed that artifacts such as media affect any society by their characteristics, or content. McLuhan proposes that a communication medium itself, not the messages it carries, should be the primary focus of study. " The medium is the message" is a phrase coined by the Canadian communication theorist Marshall McLuhan and the name of the first chapter in his Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, published in 1964.
