ISBN: 9780268044077 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

The Gospel as Conversation: Texts, Sermons, and Questions for Reflection: A Study Guide
ISBN: 9781625640161 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Description: How are we to read the Gospels and bring them into our lives? The idea of this book is that the Gospels are not merely rules for life, or stories illustrating moral lessons, or statements of theological doctrine, but invitations to thought and conversation. The Gospels are full of problems, uncertainties, and tensions; these difficulties call upon us to engage with the Gospels in a new way: to read them, to ask questions about them, to live with them, alone and together. The way we do that is by a kind of conversation, with each other, or within ourselves. The Gospel as...

When Words Lose Their Meaning: Constitutions and Reconstitutions of Language, Character, and Community
ISBN: 9780226895024 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Through fresh readings of texts ranging from Homer's Iliad, Swift's Tale of a Tub, and Austen's Emma through the United States Constitution and McCulloch v. Maryland, James Boyd White examines the relationship between an individual mind and its language and culture as well as the "textual community" established between writer and audience. These striking textual analyses develop a rhetoric--a "way of reading" that can be brought to any text but that, in broader terms, becomes a way of learning that can shape the reader's life.
"In this ambitious and demanding... Through fresh readings of texts ranging from Homer's Iliad, Swift's Tale of a Tub, and Austen's Emma through the United States Co...

ISBN: 9780226894966 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. White extends his conception of United States law as a constitutive rhetoric shaping American legal culture that he proposed in "When Words Lose Their Meaning, " and asks how Americans can and should criticize this culture and the texts it creates. In determining if a judicial opinion is good or bad, he explores the possibility of cultural criticism, the nature of conceptual language, the character of economic and legal discourse, and the appropriate expectations for critical and analytic writing. White employs his unique approach by analyzing individual cases involving the Fourth Amendment...

Acts of Hope: Creating Authority in Literature, Law, and Politics
ISBN: 9780226895116 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. To which institutions or social practices should we grant authority? When should we instead assert our own sense of what is right or good or necessary?
In this book, James Boyd White shows how texts by some of our most important thinkers and writers including Plato, Shakespeare, Dickinson, Mandela, and Lincoln answer these questions, not in the abstract, but in the way they wrestle with the claims of the world and self in particular historical and cultural contexts. As they define afresh the institutions or practices for which they claim (or resist) authority, they create authorities of... To which institutions or social practices should we grant authority?

Living Speech: Resisting the Empire of Force
ISBN: 9780691138374 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Language is our key to imagining the world, others, and ourselves. Yet sometimes our ways of talking dehumanize others and trivialize human experience. In war other people are imagined as enemies to be killed. The language of race objectifies those it touches, and propaganda disables democracy. Advertising reduces us to consumers, and cliches destroy the life of the imagination. How are we to assert our humanity and that of others against the forces in the culture and in our own minds that would deny it? What kind of speech should the First Amendment protect? How should judges... Language is our key to imagining the world, others, and ourselves. Yet sometimes our ways of talking dehumanize others and trivialize human experie... |

ISBN: 9781608991358 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How can we connect the Gospels--the fundamental texts of Christian faith--to our own experience of inner and outer life? This is the question that animates Connecting to the Gospel. In it James Boyd White presents a series of Gospel passages, together with the sermons he gave on these passages as a lay preacher in the Episcopal Church, with brief commentaries and questions on each as well. The whole is designed as an aid to thought and reflection about the issues raised by the Gospel passages, as they relate both to our own larger culture and to our internal religious experiences.

ISBN: 9780472083374 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "A real pleasure. . . . Reading this book was like revisiting a country I thought I knew well with a guide who could show me all kinds of delights I had missed in my previous sojourns. . . . A terrific, engaging book." --Michael Schoenfeldt, author of Prayer and Power: George Herbert and Renaissance Courtship
"This Book of Starres" is one of those all-too-rare books in which an author's love of someone's work--in this case, the seventeenth-century English poet George Herbert--leads to a journey of exploration. Herbert's poetry presents a special set of challenges: It is to... "A real pleasure. . . .

The Edge of Meaning
ISBN: 9780226894805 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Certain questions are basic to the human condition: how we imagine the world, and ourselves and others within it; how we confront the constraints of language and the limits of our own minds; and how we use imagination to give meaning to past experiences and to shape future ones. These are the questions James Boyd White addresses in The Edge of Meaning, exploring each through its application to great works of Western culture--Huckleberry Finn, the Odyssey, and the paintings of Vermeer among them. In doing so, White creates a deeply moving and insightful book and presents...
