The Life of Saint Helia: Critical Edition, Translation, Introduction, and Commentary
ISBN: 9780199672639 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Life of Saint Helia, a late ancient Latin hagiography of uncertain provenance, is a remarkable and virtually unknown text, of which a critical edition and English translation appear here for the first time, accompanied by an introduction and commentary. Written predominately in dialogue format, the Life records a lengthy and highly polemical debate between a young girl Helia and her mother regarding the relative merits of virginity and marriage, followed by a dialogue between Helia and a bishop and a debate between Helia and a judge. The arguments both for and against virginity are...

Seducing Augustine: Bodies, Desires, Confessions
ISBN: 9780823231942 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Augustine's Confessions is a text that seduces. But how often do its readers respond in kind? Here three scholars who share a longstanding fascination with sexuality and Christian discourse attempt to do just that. Where prior interpreters have been inclined either to defend or to criticize Augustine's views, Virginia Burrus, Mark Jordan, and Karmen MacKendrick set out both to seduce and to be seduced by his text.Often ambivalent but always passionately engaged, their readings of the Confessions center on four sets of intertwined themes-secrecy and confession, asceticism and eroticism,...

'Begotten, Not Made': Conceiving Manhood in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9780804739733 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book interprets fourth-century theological discourse as an incident in the history of masculine gender, arguing that Nicene trinitarian doctrine is a crucial site not only for theological innovation but also for reimagining and reproducing manhood in the late Roman period. When the Trinity became for the first time the sine qua non of doctrinal orthodoxy, masculinity was conceived anew, in terms that heightened the claims of patriarchal authority while cutting manhood loose from its traditional fleshly and familial moorings. In exploring the significance of this late antique...

Lectures on Discrete Time Filtering
ISBN: 9781461383949 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The theory of linear discrete time filtering started with a paper by Kol mogorov in 1941. He addressed the problem for stationary random se quences and introduced the idea of the innovations process, which is a useful tool for the more general problems considered here. The reader may object and note that Gauss discovered least squares much earlier; however, I want to distinguish between the problem of parameter estimation, the Gauss problem, and that of Kolmogorov estimation of a process. This sep aration is of more than academic interest as the least squares problem leads to the normal...

The Sex Lives of Saints: An Erotics of Ancient Hagiography

From page one she challenges approaches to hagiography that dismiss ascetic desire as the sublimation of sexuality and a pathological hatred of the body."--Theological Studies "Countering the assumption that ascetics repress, sublimate, or even eradicate sexual desire, this fine book detects a vibrant eroticism in tales of fourth- and fifth-century saints. Rather than read ancient saints' lives as anti-erotic, or, worse, an-erotic, Burrus reveals a flourishing ars erotica. . . . A deft reading of the interplay between gender and erotics in...

Layers: New & Selected Poems
ISBN: 9780615630458 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The poetry of Harry Burrus is highly diverse. It reveals the importance of visual imagery and movement in his imagination. In some of his poems, there are echoes of images experienced in the open street and of the close connection between everyday life, the written world, collages and art that were so important to Surrealist writers such as Andre Breton and Ted Joans. Shades of Breton's Nadja, Louis Aragon's Le Paysan de Paris, and Phillippe Soupault's Les Dernieres Nuit de Paris are visible in his Paris poems. His poems of love are often poems of inquiry-a search for compassion and... The poetry of Harry Burrus is highly diverse. It reveals the importance of visual imagery and movement in his imagination.
