Item යුරෝපීය නව සම්භාව්යවාදී කලා ප්රවණතාව(Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Amarakoon, A.The artistic style know as “Neoclassicism” was the predominant movement in European art and architecture during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It reflected the desire to imitate the spirit and form of classical art and culture. The increasing interest of classical antiquity in the artistic style and the development of taste in European art of this period was greately influenced by the freshly discovered archaeological ruins of the classical world. Additionally, the theoretical and historical writings savoring the classical antiquity, notably that of Johann Joachim Winckelmann, contributed to this change in taste. Neoclassicism was also, in part, built on the prevailing mood of Enlightenment, and a reaction aginst the decadent frivolity of the Rococo style and the social class which catered to Rococo art. Moreover, classical ideals which reflect the pinnacle of civilised society were more appealing to Enlightenment and its emphasis on rationality. This paper thus addresses the various factors that prodded the rise of the Neoclassical movement in European art.Item The Significance of Animal Metaphors: Émile Zola’s Thérèse Raquin and Patrick Suskind’s Perfume: The Story of a Murderer(Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Ranasinghe, D.S.B.Item සංස්කෘතියට නිර්වචනයක්(Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Sarananda Thero, DunukeulleGroup behaviors are seen to be important in observing society, including culture and religion, and life, especially with the inherent social nature of humans.

Such a decisive responsibility of moulding a balanced personality is provided by the “teacher”. Therefore, it is the professional teacher who realises the true spirit of education leading to social facilitation. To deliver a sustainable education, he has to posses a sound knowledge of the goals of education along with the student community as one of its stakeholders. In this sense we identify the importance of the music teacher who addresses the affective domain of the students through a lively teaching - learning process than any teacher of any other subject. Therefore this research study aims at studying the strategy employed by the music teacher to identify the variations of the learners.Item විදේශීය භාෂාවක් ලෙස චීන භාෂාව ශ්රී ලංකාවේ ඉගැන්වීම: ආරම්භයේ සිට වර්තමානය දක්වා(Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Kariyawasam, K.B.G.W.S.Sri Lanka which is known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean has a deep rooted relationship with China that dates back to many centuries.

Hence, the rapport between Sri Lanka and China will be stronger in the future than today.Item ඥානය පිළිබඳ බෞද්ධ විග්රහය: සම කාලීන ඥාන මාර්ග සමඟ තුලනාත්මක අධ්යයනයක්(Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Rajapaksha, D.M.It is noticed that the Buddha classified his predecessors and contemporaries in respect of the ways of knowledge, possessed by them as the Traditionalists, the Rationalists, and the Experientialists. In his address to the Kâlâmas, he criticises six ways of knowing based on authority and four ways of knowing based on reason on the ground that beliefs based on authority or reason may turn out to be true or he ends on the note that one should accept a proposition as true only when one has personal knowledge of it, taking into account the views of the wise. This emphasis on personal and direct knowledge is found throughout the Nikâyas and in trying to determine the ways of knowing recognised in the Canon, it is necessary to see clearly what was meant by this kind of knowledge. The fact that the Buddha claimed to be one of the recluses and Brahmins, who had a personal higher knowledge of a doctrine not found among doctrines traditionally handed down is clear evidence that the Buddha did not claim or consider himself to have a unique way of knowing denied to others.Item A Journey to Discover Zen(Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Balasooriya, B.A.D.N.Item A Theoretical Introduction to Wildlife Photography Genre(Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Podduwage, D.R.Item මානව භාෂාවේ ස්වභාවය(Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) de Silva, J.Language is the most important means of communication used among human beings. It is through language that human beings share their ideas, emotions, beliefs and feelings with each other. Though many other means of communication are used among humans, they are not as flexible, comprehensive, prefect or extensive as language. All human beings are blessed with language and it is considered the specific property of human beings. The uniqueness of human language is evident when it is compared with animal communication system which is not well developed and has extremely limited function. Nevertheless, defining ‘human language’ appears to be a tough task and a good definition is expected to cover three aspects of language, namely nature, structure and function. This paper is an illustration of the characteristics of human language with the intention of bringing into light what makes it unique, ubiquitous and irreplaceable.
