Book Synopsis Longing, Weakness and Temptation by : Irena Avsenik Nabergoj
Download or read book Longing, Weakness and Temptation written by Irena Avsenik Nabergoj and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The themes of longing, weakness and temptation are relevant to every human and are interwoven with all fundamental ideals and values of the created, rational being. Temptation is all the more dramatic, the broader the perspective of recognition, the power of human longing and the sense of the difference between good and evil. This book is a summary of a study which compares and contrasts Slovenian and European literary works created under the influence of biblical source texts (Adam and Eve, Joseph from Egypt, Samson and Dalilah, etc.) and the works of other known and unknown origins (Homer’s Iliad, Goethe’s Faust, various versions of the myth of the Fair Vida, etc.). The ascribing of a text to a genre provides the interpreter of the text with a key intertextual framework and with a system of references to other books, other texts, other literary statements. The intertextual approach is obviously appropriate to the study of contents, symbols and forms of literary works. It shows how the source text continues to speak through the new work and how the new work forces new meanings from the source text. Later writers use important themes with a historical sense, when aiming toward a better understanding of authenticity of human existence.

Download or read book Our Deepest Longing written by Terry Baze and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-12-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his life experiences, author Terry Baze has come to realize the most significant aspect of anyone’s life is how it interacts with and is affected by God. In Our Deepest Longing, he shares parts of his long journey into a deeper, more intimate relationship with God, encouraging other Christians in their efforts to connect with him. A unique combination of Biblical reflection and therapeutic advice, Baze chronicles the things he’s learned about developing intimacy with God through the dynamics and details of his family relationships. He believes God purposefully designed the family to help explain His person and character and to help reveal the nature of his relationship with Him. Our Deepest Longing offers insight into Baze’s experiences to help others foster a deeper, closer walk with God and benefit other relationships throughout the journey. It shows how God reveals himself to us through the family unit.
Book Synopsis A Careful Longing by : Aaron Santesso
Download or read book A Careful Longing written by Aaron Santesso and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the emergence of a new genre during the eighteenth century: the nostalgia poem. This genre is best understood by reconceiving the premises of nostalgia itself, examining it as first and foremost a mode of idealization rather than a longing for the past. From the poems that make up this genre, we have derived many of our modern ideas and images of nostalgia. In tracing the history of the nostalgia poem, this book also traces a pattern of tropic change, in which a new genre is built around tropes extracted from the dying genres. This new genre then begins producing its own tropes; in the case of the nostalgia poem, these include idealized school days and ruined villages. As these tropes become overly familiar, the nostalgia poem genre itself begins to fall apart. This book reevaluates poems ranging from Dryden's Hastings elegy to Crabbe's The Village, showing how works as varied as Gray's Eton College Ode, Macpherson's forged epics, and Goldsmith's The Deserted Village are all part of a doomed literary experiment - an experiment that has nevertheless determined the course of modern nostalgic thought.
Download or read book Longing to Tell written by Tricia Rose and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sexual Lives of Black Women, In Their Own Words In a culture driven by sexual and racial imagery, very few honest conversations about race, gender, and sexuality actually take place. In their absence, commonly held perceptions of black women as teenage mothers, welfare recipients, mammies, or exotic sexual playthings remain unchanged. For fear that telling their stories will fulfill society's implicit expectations about their sexuality, most black women have retreated into silence. Tricia Rose seeks to break this silence and jump-start a dialogue by presenting, for the first time, the sexual testimonies of black women. Spanning a broad range of ages, levels of education, and socioeconomic backgrounds, twenty women, in their own words, talk with startling honesty about sex, love, family, relationships, and intimacy. Their stories dispel prevailing myths and provide revealing insights into how black women navigate the complex terrain of sexuality. Nuanced, rich, and powerful, Longing to Tell will be required reading for anyone interested in issues of race and gender.
Book Synopsis Longing For Winter by : Sylvester Hillard
Download or read book Longing For Winter written by Sylvester Hillard and published by Medu Neter Publications. This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longing For Winter: A Black Man's Saga is a biographical novel, spoken through the words of Noel Sheridan, the main character. I chose to write this book as a catharsis of sorts. While most of the characters in this work are fictitious, as are some of the scenarios, the main storyline is factual. With respect to the characters that are based on actual individuals, such as myself, the names have been changed. Being that I have endeavored to address such a controversial subject: race relations, and exposed aspects of American society that are taboo, some may be taken aback by what they read. Further, the reader may wonder if some of the things mentioned in this story actually take place in our society; I can say yes, emphatically! I am most confident in making such a bold statement, because it is rooted in truth. In fact, as I submit this work, I am totally dispossessed. Having experienced such a tumultuous ten years, I wanted to set the record straight about how horribly African American men are far too frequently treated in our society.
Book Synopsis Longing in Belonging by : Suzan Ilcan
Download or read book Longing in Belonging written by Suzan Ilcan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-04-30 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mobilization of people, populations, and places—and the social interrelations of space and time, memory and longing, and the global and local—are uniquely analyzed in this fascinating study. Instead of viewing social and cultural relations through the lenses of rigid institutions, fixed territories, or rooted communities, Ilcan focuses on mobile sites to explore the cultural politics of settlement. This book examines the social relations of longing and belonging to be found in nation building, ethnographic practices, dwelling, and diasporas. Ilcan propels us into various dimensions of movement, as well as social relations in the fields of dispersion, transition, and displacement. Drawing on insights from cultural studies, sociology, and anthropology, she inquires into contemporary and critical issues on the movement of peoples. Transitional communities represent the tensions and risks confronting those compelled to leave home, or those for whom a sense of longing superseded any feeling of belonging. This book provides fresh insight into the placement, and displacement, of particular social groups, including guest workers, migrants, and immigrants. Ilcan covers the varieties of diasporic relations and the settlements they form, as well as the manifold ways in which they affect traditional practices of settlement. She considers the cultural, economic, and political implications of globalization, evoking the struggle in our places of habitation, and the strategies deployed to subvert our habits of settlement.

Book Synopsis Hope and the Longing for Utopia by : Daniel Boscaljon
Download or read book Hope and the Longing for Utopia written by Daniel Boscaljon and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present the battle over who defines our future is being waged most publicly by secular and religious fundamentalists. 'Hope and the Longing for Utopia' offers an alternative position, disclosing a conceptual path toward potential worlds that resist a limited view of human potential and the gift of religion. In addition to outlining the value of embracing unknown potentialities, these twelve interdisciplinary essays explore why it has become crucial that we commit to hoping for values that resist traditional ideological commitments. Contextualized by contemporary writing on utopia, and drawing from a wealth of times and cultures ranging from Calvin's Geneva to early twentieth-century Japanese children's stories to Hollywood cinema, theseessays cumulatively disclose the fundamental importance of resisting tantalizing certainties while considering the importance of the unknown and unknowable. Beginning with a set of four essays outlining the importance of hope and utopia as diagnostic concepts, and following with four concrete examples, the collection ends with a set of essays that provide theological speculations on the need to embrace finitude and limitations in a world increasingly enframed by secularizing impulses. Overall, this book discloses how hope and utopia illuminate ways to think past simplified wishes for the future.

Download or read book Matters of Life and Longing written by Anne Line Dalsgaard and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents and describes Northeast Brazilian women's motives for accepting and often actively seeking sterilization. It centers on individual subjects and their life-worlds but shows, too, that immersion in lived phenomenological worlds does not preclude the study of political economy.
