Book Synopsis The Kingdom of Insignificance by : Joanna Nizynska
Download or read book The Kingdom of Insignificance written by Joanna Nizynska and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-31 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the first scholarly book in English on Miron Białoszewski (1922–1983), Joanna Niżyńska illuminates the elusive prose of one of the most compelling and challenging postwar Polish writers. Niżyńska’s study, exemplary in its use of theoretical concepts, introduces English-language readers to a preeminent voice of Polish literature. Niżyńska explores how a fusion of seemingly irreconcilable qualities, such as the traumatic and the everyday, imbues Białoszewski’s writing with its idiosyncratic appeal. Białoszewski’s A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising (1977, revised 1991) describes the Poles’ heroic struggle to liberate Warsaw from Nazi occupation in 1944 as harrowing yet ordinary. His later prose represents everyday life permeated by traces of the traumatic. Niżyńska closely examines the topic of autobiography and homosexuality, showing how Białoszewski discloses his homosexuality but, paradoxically, renders it inconspicuous by hiding it in plain sight.

Book Synopsis Performing Commemoration by : Annegret Fauser
Download or read book Performing Commemoration written by Annegret Fauser and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public commemorations of various kinds are an important part of how groups large and small acknowledge and process injustices and tragic events. Performing Commemoration: Musical Reenactment and the Politics of Trauma looks at the roles music can play in public commemorations of traumatic events that range from the Armenian genocide and World War I to contemporary violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the #sayhername protests. Whose version of a traumatic historical event gets told is always a complicated question, and music adds further layers to this complexity, particularly music without words. The three sections of this collection look at different facets of musical commemorations and reenactments, focusing on how music can mediate, but also intensify responses to social injustice; how reenactments and their use of music are shifting (and not always toward greater social effectiveness); and how claims for musical authenticity are politicized in various ways. By engaging with critical theory around memory studies and performance studies, the contributors to this volume explore social justice, in, and through music.

Book Synopsis The Liberating Mission of Jesus by : Dario Andres Lopez Rodriguez
Download or read book The Liberating Mission of Jesus written by Dario Andres Lopez Rodriguez and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Liberating Mission of Jesus deals with the central message of the Gospel of Luke, provocatively arguing that the liberating mission of Jesus has two central themes: the universality of the love of God and the special love God has for the defenseless of society. Both of these pillars form the bedrock of Luke's theological vision, animate his Gospel throughout, and summarize the good news of the reign of God in subversive and radical form. This book shows how the liberating message announced by Jesus, as well as his liberating practice, is manifested throughout the Gospel and its implications for Christian life today. Through this thorough treatment, the full depth of Luke's vision of the liberating mission of Jesus is shown to be a paradigm for the personal and collective witness of believers, regardless of the social, political, cultural, or religious boundaries that try to inhibit them from giving witness to the God of life.

His work is widely recognized as one of the most singular and important contributions to twentieth-century thought. In this collection of interviews, Castoriadis discusses some of his most important ideas with leading figures in the disciplines that play such a crucial part in his philosophical work: poetry, psychoanalysis, biology and mathematics. Available in English for the first time, these interviews provide a concise and accessible introduction to his work as a whole, allowing him to draw on the astounding breadth of his knowledge (ranging from political theory and sociology to ontology and the philosophy of science). They also render Castoriadis' cutting, polemical and entertaining style while displaying the originality and clarity of his primary concepts. Intellectually provoking, this timely collection shows how Castoriadis' polemics are sharp and riveting, his conceptual manoeuvres rigorous and original, and his passion inspiring. This is an excellent introduction to one of Europe's most important intellectuals.

Book Synopsis The Coming Jesus and the Anthropocene by : Ryan LaMothe
Download or read book The Coming Jesus and the Anthropocene written by Ryan LaMothe and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-02-22 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melting glaciers and icecaps, massive forest fires, enormous storms, extensive and prolonged flooding, and desertification of large tracts of land are realities we currently face and will continue to struggle with as a result of climate change. Our climate crisis invites, if not demands, a critical evaluation of our political, religious, economic, and cultural narratives and rituals that give rise to our ways of relating to one another, to other species, and to planet Earth. This book argues that the climate emergency exposes deep problematic roots of Western religious and political paradigms and apparatuses that undergird ideas of and methods for human flourishing. In particular, Western religious and political philosophies have produced and maintained a radical rift between human beings and other species, as well as beliefs about human dominion over other species and the earth. These ideas and practices are responsible for the colonization of Nature and for climate change. Understanding these sources invites a radical reimaging of our religious ideas and practices. Specifically, this book proposes a coming Jesus—a form of life that traverses the rift, while denying human and divine dominion for the sake of recognizing and respecting the singularities and flourishing of all species.
Book Synopsis The Kingdom Citizen by : Dr. Ope Banwo
Download or read book The Kingdom Citizen written by Dr. Ope Banwo and published by Dr Ope Banwo. This book was released on 2023-06-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom Citizen: Understanding the Dominion, the Character, the Passion and the Power of the Citizen of Kingdom of God. To quote a favorite saying of some of the leading authorities on the subject of Purpose and Destiny: ‘where the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.’ For months after I became born-again I felt somehow incomplete. The bliss I was promised was not there and I was too much of a self realist to pretend to myself or anybody else for that matter that everything was all right. My limited experience in the world of born-again believers up to that time has been limited to leading me to Christ and the eternal salvation of my soul. However, once I found Christ, nobody told me what I am supposed to do here on earth, other than living holy and ‘guarding’ my salvation with fear and trembling, before I will finally receive the keys to my mansion in heaven when I die.
