After launching his career with the 1947 publication of his dissertation, Occidental Eschatology, Jacob Taubes spent the early years of his career as a fellow and then professor at various American institutions, including Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia. During his American years, he also gathered together a number of prominent thinkers at his weekly seminars on Jewish intellectual history. In the mid-60s, Taubes joined the faculty of the Free University in West Berlin, initially as the city's first Jewish Studies professor of the postwar period. But his work and interest expanded beyond the boundaries of the field of Jewish Studies to broader philosophical questions, particularly in the philosophy of religion. A charismatic speaker and a great polemicist, Taubes had a phenomenal ability to create interdisciplinary conversations in the humanities, engaging scholars from philosophy, literature, theology, and intellectual history. The essays presented here represent the fruit of conversations, conferences, and workshops that he organized over the course of his career.

Healthcare in America is ill. Moreover, the bill for this illness is rising and America cannot afford the price What worsens the situation is error in diagnosis of what is the illness. Attempting to cure without a proper diagnosis, politicians and pundits impose regulations in the name of increasing high value medical care. Forgotten in the discussion are the patient and the doctor caring for that patient. The doctor-patient relationship not only provides the point of medical care but also defines quality of that care. Now economics and regulations are changing that relationship, thus altering the American health system.
Saving the American health care system requires restoring centrality of the doctor-patient relationship. To rescue the doctor-patient relationship only occurs by understanding how payment systems, economics, and regulations affect that relationship. This book examines how the doctor-patient relationship has been affected by developments in economics and regulations, then offers solutions to rescue that relationship and restore patient-centric decision-making.
Das Religion is a manual to instruct the average citizen how to fight back against the liberal progressive stranglehold on the United States, by exposing their welfare state as an unconstitutional establishment of religion, showing that welfare, healthcare, education, and housing are the Christian acts of charity since the time of Moses.Author Russell Hamner refutes every aspect of the welfare state, from its European history, United States government records, the declaration of independence, the constitution, the great seal, first amendment, first amendment case law, and the Holy Bible, to show beyond a reasonable doubt the welfare state in its entirety is wholly unconstitutional.Conclusively, the Author issues a call to action, to come together as the body of Christ and come out of this worldly government and enter into the new age order of the Kingdom of God, which God created and the colonist laid the foundation for, to be established in these last days, for the Kingdom of God is within you.

Once seen as a collection of artifacts and ritual objects, African art now commands respect from museums and collectors. Bennetta Jules-Rosette and J.R. Osborn explore the reframing of African art through case studies of museums and galleries in the United States, Europe, and Africa.
The authors take a three-pronged approach. Part One ranges from curiosity cabinets to virtual websites to offer a history of ethnographic and art museums and look at their organization and methods of reaching out to the public. In the second part, the authors examine museums as ecosystems and communities within communities, and they use semiotic methods to analyze images, signs, and symbols drawn from the experiences of curators and artists. The third part introduces innovative strategies for displaying, disseminating, and reclaiming African art. The authors also propose how to reinterpret the art inside and outside the museum and show ways of remixing the results.
Drawing on extensive conversations with curators, collectors, and artists, African Art Reframed is an essential guide to building new exchanges and connections in the dynamic worlds of African and global art.
This book offers a theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich study of the intersections of contemporary Christianity and youth culture, focusing on evangelical engagements with punk, hip hop, surfing, and skateboarding. Ibrahim Abraham draws on interviews and fieldwork with dozens of musicians and sports enthusiasts in the USA, UK, Australia, and South Africa, and the analysis of evangelical subcultural media including music, film, and extreme sports Bibles.
Evangelical Youth Culture: Alternative Music and Extreme Sports Subcultures makes innovative use of multiple theories of youth cultures and subcultures from sociology and cultural studies, and introduces the "serious leisure perspective" to the study of religion, youth, and popular culture. Engaging with the experiences of Pentecostal punks, surfing missionaries, township rappers, and skateboarding youth pastors, this book makes an original contribution to the sociology of religion, youth studies, and the study of religion and popular culture.

Название: None of This Is Normal: The Fiction of Jeff VanderMeer ISBN: 1517902932 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781517902933 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 16680.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: How the otherworldly worlds created by the author of the Southern Reach Trilogy speak to-and even affect-our own If ever a moment and a writer were made for each other, that time is now and Jeff VanderMeer is that writer. Reaching more and more readers as his fantastic fiction delves deeper and deeper into the true weirdness of our day, VanderMeer presents a unique opportunity to explore the cultural frictions and fault lines in today’s-and tomorrow’s- literary landscape. In the first book-length study of this provocative writer, Benjamin J. Robertson focuses on the three major series that have propelled VanderMeer to prominence (his Vennis fictions, Ambergris novels, and Southern Reach Trilogy) as well as his recent stand-alone novel Borne. Most salient for Robertson is how VanderMeer grapples with the transformation of human meaning and being in the contemporary moment. None of This Is Normal reveals how VanderMeer creates fictions that directly address our Anthropocene epoch, in which humanity must reckon with the unprecedented nature of its impact on the environment and with the consequent obsolescence of its methods of representing itself in this altered world. In Robertson’s reading it becomes startlingly clear that certain fiction, especially when willing to abandon humanist assumptions about history, has the power to not simply show us a world “out there” but to actively participate in that world. As realist fiction and even science fiction conventionally reduce the scale and complexity of the Anthropocene to human-sized dimensions, None of This Is Normal shows how VanderMeer’s work conjures what Robertson calls a “fantastic materiality”: a reality that stands apart from us as a model of thinking, irreducible to our own.
