Be Very Afraid: The Cultural Response to Terror, Pandemics, Environmental Devastation, Nuclear Annihilation, and Other Threats
ISBN: 9780199964024 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Be Very Afraid, Robert Wuthnow examines the human response to existential threats--once a matter for theology, but now looming before us in multiple forms. Nuclear weapons, pandemics, global warming: each threatens to destroy the planet, or at least to annihilate our species. Freud, he notes, famously taught that the standard psychological response to an overwhelming danger is denial. In fact, Wuthnow writes, the opposite is true: we seek ways of positively meeting the threat, of doing something--anything--even if it's wasteful and time-consuming. It would be one thing if our...

ISBN: 9783658031367 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Seit jeher hat das Thema Alter(n) fur Individuum und Gesellschaft grosse Bedeutung. Zu allen Zeiten und in allen Kulturen existieren gesellschaftliche und individuelle Vorstellungen vom Alter und vom Altern. Da diese Altersbilder keine unbedeutenden Begleiterscheinungen des Umgangs mit dem Alter(n) sind, sondern eine Realitat schaffen, die diesen mitbegrundet, ist ihre Reflexion eine wichtige Aufgabe. Altersbilder entstehen immer auf der Basis spezifischer gesellschaftlicher Bedingungen. In diesem Buch wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern Unsicherheiten und Uneindeutigkeiten in der...

This volume envisions social practices surrounding mosques, shrines and public spaces in urban contexts as a window on the diverse ways in which Muslims in different regional and historical settings imagine, experience, and inhabit places and spaces as sacred.

Trauma and Resilience in American Indian and African American Southern History
ISBN: 9781433111860 / Angielski / Twarda / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Trauma and Resilience in American Indian and African American Southern History explores the dual process of a refusal to remember, that is, the force of active forgetting, and the multiple ways in which Native Americans and African Americans have kept alive memories of conquest and enslavement. Complex narratives of loss endured during the antebellum period still resonate in the current debate over sovereignty and reparations.
Remembrances of events tinged with historical trauma are critical not only to the collective memories of American Indian and African American communities...

In 1994, David Hernandez, a small-time drug-dealer in Spanish Harlem, got out of the drug business and turned his life over to God. After he joined Victory Chapel-a vibrant Bronx-based Pentecostal church-he saw his life change in many ways: today he is a member of the NYPD, married, the father of three, and still an active member of his church.

Problematizing Religious Freedom
ISBN: 9789400736986 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The concept of religious freedom is the favoured modern human rights concept, with which the modern world hopes to tackle the phenomenon of religious pluralism, as our modern existence in an electronically shrinking globe comes to be increasingly characterised by this phenomenon. To begin with, the concept of religious freedom, as embodied in Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, seems self-evident in nature. It is the claim of this book, however, that although emblematic on the one hand, the concept is also problematic on the other, and the implications of the concept...

Social Theories of Art: A Critique
ISBN: 9780333668962 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This elegantly written book explores the tension between the theory and practice of art, taking issue with the approaches of the New Art History and its deconstructionist critics. It critically examines influential social theories of art from the viewpoint of the artworlds they target and, through a consideration of work by Rorty, Bauman, Gadamer and others, develops a new and fruitful set of connections between ethical, social and art theory that gives central importance to reflexivity as a living and problematic, as well as a theoretical, concept.

Missionary Impositions: Conversion, Resistance, and other Challenges to Objectivity in Religious Ethnography
ISBN: 9780739177884 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this collection of essays, anthropologists of religion examine the special challenges they face when studying populations that proselytize. Conducting fieldwork among these groups may involve attending services, meditating, praying, and making pilgrimages. Anthropologists participating in such research may unwittingly give the impression that their interest is more personal than professional, and inadvertently encourage missionaries to impose conversion upon them. Moreover, anthropologists' attitudes about religion, belief, and faith, as well as their response to conversion pressures, may...

'Nagaland for Christ' and 'Jesus Saves' are familiar slogans prominently displayed on public transport and celebratory banners in Nagaland, north-east India. They express an idealization of Christian homogeneity that belies the underlying tensions and negotiations between Christian and non-Christian Naga.

ISBN: 9781469607160 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The internationally growing Cursillo movement, or "short course in Christianity," founded in 1944 by Spanish Catholic lay practitioners, has become popular among American Catholics and Protestants alike. This lay-led weekend experience helps participants recommit to and live their faith. Emphasizing how American Christians have privileged the individual religious experience and downplayed denominational and theological differences in favor of a common identity as renewed people of faith, Kristy Nabhan-Warren focuses on cursillistas--those who have completed a Cursillo weekend--to show how...

Hexenmeister: Die Verfolgung Von Maennern Im Rahmen Der Hexenverfolgung Von 1530-1730 Im Alten Reich
ISBN: 9783631377819 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jede vierte vermeintliche Hexe war ein Mann. Die Arbeit geht diesen sogenannten Hexenmeistern als Angeklagte und Hingerichtete in Hexenprozessen nach und offnet ein weithin unbekanntes Kapitel in der Geschichte Mitteleuropas in der Fruhen Neuzeit. Die Studie umreisst statistisch die zahlenmassigen Anteile von Mannern in der Hexenverfolgung und beschreibt regionalspezifische Verfolgungsablaufe im Alten Reich. Eine Analyse der Geschlechtsspezifik in der zeitgenossischen theologischen und damonologischen Literatur zeigt, dass das Hexenbild keineswegs homogen war. Um das soziale Profil und...
