Holy Terrors, Second Edition: Thinking about Religion After September 11
ISBN: 9780226482033 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It is tempting to regard the perpetrators of the September 11th terrorist attacks as evil incarnate. But their motives, as Bruce Lincoln's acclaimed Holy Terrors makes clear, were profoundly and intensely religious. Thus what we need after the events of 9/11, Lincoln argues, is greater clarity about what we take religion to be.
Holy Terrors begins with a gripping dissection of the instruction manual given to each of the 9/11 hijackers. In their evocation of passages from the Quran, we learn how the terrorists justified acts of destruction and mass murder "in the name of God,...

Theorizing Myth: Narrative, Ideology, and Scholarship
ISBN: 9780226482026 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Theorizing Myth, Bruce Lincoln traces the way scholars and others have used the category of "myth" to fetishize or deride certain kinds of stories, usually those told by others. He begins by showing that mythos yielded to logos not as part of a (mythic) "Greek miracle," but as part of struggles over political, linguistic, and epistemological authority occasioned by expanded use of writing and the practice of Athenian democracy. Lincoln then turns his attention to the period when myth was recuperated as a privileged type of narrative, a process he locates in the...

Emerging from the Chrysalis: Rituals of Women's Initiation
ISBN: 9780195069105 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Now reissued in an expanded edition, this unique book offers the first full-length treatment of women's initiation rites in five cultures. Asserting the critical importance of such rites in a world dominated by men, Lincoln shows that in these societies women's initiation involves not only a transformation of the self but also of the cosmos. Considering initiation rites among the Tiyyar of South India, the Navajo, the Tiv of West Africa, and the Tukuna of the Northwest Amazon, Lincoln argues that unlike men's rites, women's rites do not impart a change in hierarchical status, but rather a...

religion and society, Bruce Lincoln expresses in these essays his severe doubts about the existence of a much-hypothesized prototypical Indo-European religion. Written over fifteen years, the essays six of them previously unpublished fall into three parts. Part I deals with matters "Indo-European" in a relatively unproblematized way, exploring a set of haunting images that recur in descriptions of the Otherworld from many cultures. While Lincoln later rejects this methodology, these chapters remain the best... One of the world's leading specialists in Indo-European

The Great Reforms: Autocracy, Bureaucracy, and the Politics of Change in Imperial Russia
ISBN: 9780875801551 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Great Reforms of the 1860s marked the broadest attempt at social and economic renovation to occur in Russia between the death of Peter the Great in 1725 and the Revolution of 1905. In just more than a decade, imperial reform acts freed Russia's serfs, restructured her courts, established institutions of local self-government in parts of the empire, altered the constraints that censorship imposed on the press, and transformed Russia's vast serf armed forces into a citizen army in which men from all classes bore equal responsibility for military service. This invaluable study explains why...

In the Vanguard of Reform: Russia's Enlightened Bureaucrats, 1825-1861
ISBN: 9780875805368 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 319 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The first decade of Alexander II's reign is known in Russian history as the Era of the Great Reforms, a time recognized as the major period of social, economic, and institutional transformation between the reign of Peter the Great and the Revolution of 1905. Coming directly after the notoriously repressive last decade of the Nicholas era, the appearance of such dramatic reform has led scholars to seek its causes in dramatic events. Surely some great, even cataclysmic, force must have driven Alexander II and his advisers to initiate what appears to be such an astonishing change in policy. In...
