ISBN: 9783658011734 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Der Arabische Fruhling hat die meisten Menschen vollig uberrascht - vor allem durch seinen Zeitpunkt und seine Intensitat. Daruber hinaus wurden so manche Vorurteile herausgefordert, als auf einmal Frauen in den ersten Reihen der Protestierenden standen und dem Internet eine Schlusselfunktion zukam. Insbesondere im benachbarten Europa wurden die Aufstande allerdings auch mit Argwohn betrachtet: Was kommt nach dem Sturz der Diktatoren? Driftet die arabische Welt in die Hande von radikalen Islamisten? Welche Zukunft erwartet die Christen und die anderen Minderheiten in dieser explosiven...

Stadt Und Soziale Bewegungen
ISBN: 9783658013974 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Grostadte sind derzeit wieder zu Orten sozialer Bewegungen geworden. Mit Slogans wie "oben bleiben" (Stuttgart) oder "Recht auf Stadt" (Hamburg) artikuliert sich heute auf unterschiedliche Weise ein Protest, der auf sich verandernde urbane Realitaten Bezug nimmt und dabei eine breite mediale Resonanz findet. Gleichwohl werden oft nur bestimmte Formen der Organisation und des Protests als legitime soziale Bewegungen anerkannt. Andere werden als NIMBY, Not-in-my-backyard-Intitiativen, definiert und diskreditiert oder als Riots entpolitisiert. Es ist keineswegs ausgemacht, welche Initiativen...

Sacrifice and the Body: Biblical Anthropology and Christian Self-Understanding
ISBN: 9781409418825 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is sacrifice? For many people today the word has negative overtones, suggesting loss, or death, or violence. But in religions, ancient and modern, the word is linked primarily to joyous feasting which puts people in touch with the deepest realities. How has that change of meaning come about? What effect does it have on the way we think about Christianity? How does it affect the way Christian believers think about themselves and God? John Dunnill's study focuses on sacrifice as a physical event uniting worshippers to deity. Bringing together insights from social anthropology, biblical...

Scheitern - Ein Desiderat Der Moderne?
ISBN: 9783531191805 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Das Phanomen "Scheitern" findet man auf der Schattenseite der Gesellschaft. Ist es dann schon verstandlich, dass dessen begriffliche Bestimmung und empirische Beschreibung durch die Sozialwissenschaften nur unzureichend ausfallt? Bis auf die organisationstheoretischen Bemuhungen macht die Diskussion einen eher ungenugenden Eindruck. Dabei bildet Scheitern unvermeidlich die negative Folie fur den Nachweis erfolgreicher Losungen. Von daher weist Scheitern eine heimliche Prominenz auf, der sich die Sozialwissenschaften stellen mussen. Mit dem Buch wird die bisherige Diskussion dazu...

Christianity and the African Imagination: Essays in Honour of Adrian Hastings
ISBN: 9789004245105 / Angielski / Miękka / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the twentieth-century, Christendom shifted its centre of gravity to the Southern Hemisphere, Africa becoming the most significant area of church growth. This volume explores Christianity's advance across the continent, and its capturing of the African imagination. From the medieval Catholic Kingdom of Kongo to a transnational Pentecostal movement in post-colonial Zimbabwe, the chapters explore how African agents - priests and prophets, martyrs and missionaries, evangelists and catechists - have seized Christianity and made it theirs. Emphasizing popular religion, the book shows how the...

Gods in America
ISBN: 9780199931903 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Religious pluralism has characterized America almost from its seventeenth-century inception, but the past half century or so has witnessed wholesale changes in the religious landscape, including a proliferation of new spiritualities, the emergence of widespread adherence to ''Asian'' traditions, and an evangelical Christian resurgence. These recent phenomena--important in themselves as indices of cultural change--are also both causes and contributions to one of the most remarked-upon and seemingly anomalous characteristics of the modern United States: its widespread religiosity.

The Social Life of Spirits
ISBN: 9780226081779 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Spirits can be haunters, informants, possessors, and transformers of the living, but more than anything anthropologists have understood them as representations of something else symbols that articulate facets of human experience in much the same way works of art do."The Social Life of Spirits"challenges this notion. By stripping symbolism from the way we think about the spirit world, the contributors of this book uncover a livelier, more diverse environment of entities with their own histories, motivations, and social interactions providing a new understanding of spirits not as symbols, but...

Questioning the 'Muslim Woman': Identity and Insecurity in an Urban Indian Locality
ISBN: 9780415707800 / Angielski / Twarda / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The marginalisation of Muslims in India has recently been the subject of heated public debate. In these discussions, however, Muslim women are often either overlooked or treated as a homogenous group with a common set of interests. Focusing on the narratives of women living in a predominantly Muslim colony in South Delhi, this book attempts to demonstrate the complexity of their lives and the multiple levels of insecurity they face. Unlike other studies on Indian Muslims that focus on Islam as a defining factor, this book highlights the ways in which religious identity intersects with...

The Invention of God in Indigenous Societies
ISBN: 9781844657551 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Indigenous societies around the world have been historically disparaged by European explorers, colonial officials and Christian missionaries. Nowhere was this more evident than in early descriptions of indigenous religions as savage, primitive, superstitious and fetishistic. Liberal intellectuals, both indigenous and colonial, reacted to this by claiming that, before indigenous peoples ever encountered Europeans, they all believed in a Supreme Being. The Invention of God in Indigenous Societies argues that, by alleging that God can be located at the core of pre-Christian...

Cherry draws upon a rich set of ethnographic and survey data, collected over a six-year period, to explore the roles that Catholicism and family play in shaping Filipino American community life. From the planning and construction of community centers, to volunteering at health fairs or protesting against abortion, this book illustrates the powerful ways these forces structure and animate not only how first-generation Filipino Americans think and feel about their community, but how they are compelled to engage it over issues deemed important to the sanctity of the family....

The Spirit's Tether: Family, Work, and Religion Among American Catholics
ISBN: 9780199965793 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cultural conflicts about the family - including those surrounding women's social roles, abortion, same-sex marriage, and contraception - have intensified over the last few decades among Catholics, as well as among Americans generally. In fact, they are the source of much of the political polarization we see. But how do individuals in local settings and cultures - especially religious ones - experience and participate in these conflicts? Why are they so resonant? By exploring how religion and family life are intertwined in local parish settings, Mary Ellen Konieczny seeks to explain how...

From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls
ISBN: 9781938434600 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There's a stereotype of a young, zealous Christian who feels called to the ministry as a pastor, goes to seminary, and then loses his faith as he studies the writings of all those intellectuals and theologians. The stereotype may not be accurate, but there are those who fit this description, not to mention many who leave home for college as passionate Christians and come home unbelievers. More importantly, that stereotype represents a fear-the fear that too much education or contact with those whose beliefs differ from those of a particular community will cause someone to lose their faith....
