Originally published in 1988, this volume contains papers from, and commissioned after, "The Passing of Arthur," a conference on Medieval and Renaissance Studies in November 1986. No Arthurian story is experienced without some foreknowledge of its end, which the text acknowledges through a complex range of methods. This collection takes this as its point of origin, suggesting that all such narratives concern the passing of Arthur, even indirectly, so the chapters not only look at the death of Arthur but the passing on and development of the Arthurian literature. The figure of Arthur and the Round Table continues to fascinate contemporary readers. This interesting collection presents a wide range of Arthurian studies approaches representing some of the vast scholarship on the genre.
Demonization has increasingly become central to the global religious and political landscape. Passing Orders interrogates this ascendant centrality through an analysis of evangelical "spiritual warfare" demonologies in contemporary America, which envision the world as built on a clash of spiritual forces--good and evil, light and darkness, God and Satan--within which humanity is enmeshed and compelled to engage. It situates spiritual warfare as part of broader frameworks of American exceptionalism, ethnonationalism, and empire-management, exposing the theological foundations of the systems of queer- and transphobia, Islamophobia, antiblackness, and settler colonialism that justify the dehumanizing practices of the current US political order.
Drawing political theology into dialogue with queer, critical race, and decolonial theory, the book argues that demonologies are not just tools of dehumanization but ontological and biopolitical systems that create and maintain systems of sovereign power, or orthotaxies--models of the "right ordering" of bodies, territories, and time--that create uneven geographies of space and stratify humanity into hierarchies of being and nonbeing. Demonologies constitute and consolidate these geographies and startifications by enabling the framing of alternative orders as passing--as counterfeit, transgressive, and transient. However, these orders are unwilling to pass on, giving structure to deviant desires that refuse the violent imposition of sovereign power. Demonstrating these structures of refusal in demonologies of three figures--Jezebel, the Islamic Antichrist, and Leviathan--Passing Orders explores how demons exceed their designated role as self-consolidating others to embody alternative possibilities that unsettle orthotaxic claims over territory, time, and truth. Ultimately, it reimagines demons as a surprising source of political and social resistance, reflecting fragile and fractious communities bound by mutual passing and precarity into strategic coalitions of solidarity, subversion, and survival.

Описание: This book considers the complex ways in which the hotel functions to express the shifting experiences of modernity in the works of such authors as Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins, Arnold Bennett, H.G. Wells, and Elizabeth Bowen. The text contributes to the critical debates on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature concerning space, movement, and mobility, arguing that the hotel reconfigures boundaries of modernist, middlebrow, and popular fiction. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary theoretical and analytical perspectives, the book provides a critical and cultural history of the hotel in British literature, charting its changing nature and usage from the mid-nineteenth century up until the interwar period.
