Towards Reconciliation: Understanding Violence and the Sacred After Rene Girard
ISBN: 9780227177075 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why do humans sacralise the causes for which they fight? Who will decipher for us the enigma of 'sacred violence'? Paul Gifford shows that the culture theorist and fundamental anthropologist Rene Girard has in fact decoded the obscurely 'foundational' complicity between violence and the sacred, showing why it is everybody's problem and the Problem of Everybody. Rene Girard's mimetic theory, especially his neglected writings on biblical texts, can be read as an anthropological argument continuous with Darwin, shedding formidable new light to a vast array of dark and knotted things: from...

Christianity, Development and Modernity in Africa
ISBN: 9780190495732 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) There is an important if largely unremarked diversity within African Christianity; on the one hand, an enchanted Christianity that views the world as pervaded by spiritual forces, and on the other a disenchanted Christianity that discounts them.
An enchanted Christian sees his glorious destiny threatened by witches, spirits, and ancestral curses. Churches catering for this worldview lay bare the workings of this spirit world, and this enchanted imagination, along with the prosperity gospel, and emphasis on the pastor's "anointing," are the principal characteristics of much African...

"Gifford knows his subject totally, has vast and wide-ranging sympathy for his subjects (though without being uncritical), and explores these themes with admirable intelligence.

Christianity, Development and Modernity in Africa
ISBN: 9781849044776 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is African Christianity a religious marketplace now dominated by only two big players, the Catholic Church and Pentecostals? There is an important if largely unremarked diversity within African Christianity; on the one hand, an enchanted Christianity that views the world as pervaded by spiritual forces, and on the other a disenchanted Christianity that discounts them.

Love, Desire and Transcendence in French Literature: Deciphering Eros
ISBN: 9780754652694 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. European literature and theory of the twentieth century has been intensely preoccupied with questions of 'Desire', whereas 'love' has increasingly represented a fractured and strange, if not actually suspect, proposal: this is a prime symptom of an age of deep cultural mutation and uncertainty. Paul Gifford's book allows this considerable contemporary phenomenon to be observed steadily and whole, with strategic understanding of its origins, nature and meaning. Gifford paints a clear and coherent picture of the evolution of erotic ideas and their imaginary and formal expressions in modern...

Reading Paul Valéry: Universe in Mind
ISBN: 9780521584944 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The most recently acknowledged--and the most private--of the masters of modernity, Paul Valery is perhaps the most radical and wide-ranging. He navigates freely within the mental galaxies known to scientists, poets, literary theorists, musicians, philosophers, historians and social anthropologists, always concerned with exploring the potential and limits of the human mind. This volume of essays by internationally recognized scholars offers the first comprehensive account in English or French of Valery's work. It brings into focus the deeper coherence that animates what Valery called his...

Christianity Politics Doe Libe
ISBN: 9780521420297 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study examines the role of Christianity in Liberia under the corrupt regime of Samuel K. Doe (1980-1990). Paul Gifford shows that, in general, Liberian Christianity--far from being a force for justice and human advancement--diverted attention from the cause of Liberia's ills, left change to God's miraculous intervention, encouraged obedience and acceptance of the status quo, and thus served to entrench Doe's power. This Christianity, devised in and controlled from the United States, thus furthered regional American economic and political objectives, which were designed to support Doe's...
