Tibet on Fire: Buddhism, Protest, and the Rhetoric of Self-Immolation
ISBN: 9781137373731 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Extreme conditions lead to extreme protest, and contradictions between the Buddhist-inflected rhetoric of non-harm and the agony of self-immolation have been accounted for variously. The interpreters create descriptions that reflect, select, and sometimes deflect the reality of the burning corpse, calling attention to a certain place and time. In this volume, John Whalen-Bridge applies Kenneth Burke's interpretive suggestions to the phenomenon of a Buddhist-inflected self-immolation movement. Tibet on Fire considers the possibility that the self-burnings could be interpreted as an extension...

American Buddhism as a Way of Life
ISBN: 9781438430942 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The US seems to be becoming a Buddhist country. Celebrity converts, the popularity of the Dalai Lama, motifs in popular movies, and mala beads at the mall indicate an increasing inculcation of Buddhism into the American consciousness, even if a relatively small percentage of the population actually describe themselves as Buddhists. This book looks beyond the trendier manifestations of Buddhism in America to look at distinctly American Buddhist ways of life--ways of perceiving and understanding. John Whalen-Bridge and Gary Storhoff have organized this unique collection in accordance with the...

Religious Journeys in India: Pilgrims, Tourists, and Travelers
ISBN: 9781438466033 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In an increasingly global world where convenient modes of travel have opened the door to international and intraregional tourism and brought together people from different religious and ethnic communities, religious journeying in India has become the site of evolving and often paradoxical forms of self-construction. Through ethnographic reflections, the contributors to this volume explore religious and nonreligious motivations for religious travel in India and show how pilgrimages, missionary travel, the exportation of cultural art forms, and leisure travel among coreligionists are...

The Emergence of Buddhist American Literature
ISBN: 9781438426549 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The encounter between Buddhism and American literature has been a powerful one for both parties. While Buddhism fueled the Beat movement's resounding critique of the United States as a spiritually dead society, Beat writers and others have shaped how Buddhism has been presented to and perceived by a North American audience. Contributors to this volume explore how Asian influences have been adapted to American desires in literary works and Buddhist poetics, or how Buddhist practices emerge in literary works. Starting with early aesthetic theories of Ernest Fenollosa, made famous but also...

ISBN: 9781438439204 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This timely book explores how Buddhist-inflected thought has enriched contemporary American literature. Continuing the work begun in The Emergence of Buddhist American Literature, editors John Whalen-Bridge and Gary Storhoff and the volume's contributors turn to the most recent developments, revealing how mid-1970s through early twenty-first-century literature has employed Buddhist texts, principles, and genres. Just as Buddhism underwent indigenization when it moved from India to Tibet, to China, and to Japan, it is now undergoing that process in the United States. While some will find...

Dominion of God
ISBN: 9780674036291 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Brett Whalen explores the compelling belief that Christendom would spread to every corner of the earth before the end of time. During the High Middle Ages--an era of crusade, mission, and European expansion--the Western followers of Rome imagined the future conversion of Jews, Muslims, pagans, and Eastern Christians into one fold of God's people, assembled under the authority of the Roman Church. Starting with the eleventh-century papal reform, Whalen shows how theological readings of history, prophecies, and apocalyptic scenarios enabled medieval churchmen to project the authority...

Let Go and Lose Weight: Releasing Toxic Habits and Beliefs That are Weighing You Down
ISBN: 9781329877351 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Let Go and Lose Weight: Releasing Toxic Habits and Beliefs That Are Weighing You Down, Liz Whalen helps you to address your weight loss from a holistic perspective. She covers why it is important to address the whole being, rather than one aspect, such as the physical body, in order to reach your goals faster and maintain them for a lifetime. When life gets tough, we often respond by becoming disconnected - from ourselves, including our bodies; from the people around us, and from our environment. When we become disconnected in this way, we become fragmented, and that is when 'dis-ease',...

Girlfriends, Ghosts, And Other Stories
ISBN: 9781681370163 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Girlfriends, Ghosts, and Other Stories brings together eighty-one brief texts spanning Robert Walser's career, from pieces conceived amid his early triumphs to later works written at a psychiatric clinic in Bern. Many were published in the feuilleton sections of newspapers during Walser's life; others were jotted down on slips of paper and all but forgotten. They are strung together like consciousness, idiosyncratic and vulnerable, genuine in their irony, wistful in their humor. Some dwell on childish or transient topics--carousels, the latest hairstyles, an ekphrasis of the...

The Role of Lawyers in Access to Justice: Asian and Comparative Perspectives
ISBN: 9781316517451 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To a disturbing degree, we are at the mercy of our time and place. While law may provide relief for some of life's troubles, that requires access to justice. Accessibility is the focus of this volume, which expands analysis of access to justice beyond the US and the UK to Asia and other comparative jurisdictions. Chapters characterise access to justice dynamics in these jurisdictions by addressing how access is understood, how it is achieved or not achieved, and how the jurisdiction should improve. The book addresses some issues seldom addressed in analyses of western jurisdictions, such as...
