Download or read book Sin written by Joost Joustra and published by National Gallery London. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging and accessible account of how sin has been depicted in European art for centuries The depiction of sin has been fundamental to European visual culture for hundreds of years, especially--but not only--in Christian art. Addressing the mutable and often ambiguous representation of sin, this book highlights its theological underpinnings, cultural afterlife, and contradictory and controversial aspects from the 15th to the 21st century. Drawing on paintings from the National Gallery and elsewhere, including pictures by Cranach, Gossaert, and Velázquez, as well as contemporary art and sculpture, the author explores complex theological ideas--Original Sin, the Immaculate Conception, and confession, for example--that show familiar human behavior through moralizing or seductive images; in the process, Sin shows how art can blur the boundaries between our modern categories, religious and secular.

Download or read book The Art of the Public Grovel written by Susan Wise Bauer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-16 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are a politician caught carrying on with an intern or a minister photographed with a prostitute, discovery does not necessarily spell the end of your public career. Admit your sins carefully, using the essential elements of an evangelical confession identified by Susan Wise Bauer in The Art of the Public Grovel, and you, like Bill Clinton, just might survive. In this fascinating and important history of public confession in modern America, Bauer explains why and how a type of confession that first arose among nineteenth-century evangelicals has today become the required form for any successful public admission of wrongdoing--even when the wrongdoer has no connection with evangelicalism and the context is thoroughly secular. She shows how Protestant revivalism, group psychotherapy, and the advent of talk TV combined to turn evangelical-style confession into a mainstream secular rite. Those who master the form--Bill Clinton, Jimmy Swaggart, David Vitter, and Ted Haggard--have a chance of surviving and even thriving, while those who don't--Ted Kennedy, Jim Bakker, Cardinal Bernard Law, Mark Foley, and Eliot Spitzer--will never really recover. Revealing the rhetoric, theology, and history that lie behind every successful public plea for forgiveness, The Art of the Public Grovel will interest anyone who has ever wondered why Clinton is still popular while Bakker fell out of public view, Ted Kennedy never got to be president, and Law moved to Rome. Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

Download or read book The art of Sin City written by Frank Miller and published by . This book was released on 2003-10-16 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En imaginant ce style sombre et menaçant pour Sin City, Miller, clairement, s'amuse. Le jeu a une seule règle : image après image, Miller semble se mettre au défi de voir ce qu'il peut abandonner du visuel tout en maintenant sa fonction narrative. Comme exemples de son talent graphique, ses récits orchestrent habilement l'omission. Miller simplifie. " Epure " est peut-être plus exact. Il épure les images narratives, n'en distillant que l'essentiel. Tout se passe comme s'il essayait de voir comment le sens narratif peut être suggéré plutôt qu'énoncé en détail. C'est une tactique spécifique, je dirais, à la bande dessinée. C'est un travail qui ne peut pas être pratiqué dans un autre médium aussi efficacement. Le cartoonist est un peu comme le réalisateur. Les deux pensent, créent en termes visuels (en tandem avec le son et/ou un contenu verbal comme on l'admet généralement, mais au fond, essentiellement visuel), mais les images des réalisateurs sont continuellement en mouvement ; celles des cartoonists sont statiques, telles des marques de ponctuation qui identifient les moments clefs dans une action en cours ou le déroulement d'une histoire. Parce que les images des dessinateurs sont fixes, elles restent indéfiniment sous le regard du lecteur. Elles peuvent être étudiées, examinées (pour leur sens et leurs implications). Le lecteur peut porter son attention sur les allusions visuelles contenues dans les images, remplissant les " blancs " d'une scène simplement suggérée par une de ces images qui abondent dans la série des Sin City de Miller.
Download or read book Sin Nombre written by Tey Marianna Nunn and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An extremely competent overview of the state/civil society debate in political theory from the Greeks to the present."--Indian Review of Books"Restating the need for civil society, the author has succeeded in projecting the view that the existence of civil society may not be a condition for democracy but it is certainly essential for democratic life.... The author has done some vigorous writing and the presentation of the ticklish but very important subject is highly impressive."--The Hindu"The book has double value. It can be strongly recommended for the graduate student and for the general reader who simply wants to inform herself about the concept of civil society, its nature, history and relevance. It should also be read by those more seriously involved in the often intense debates over the theory and politics of social and political transformation....State and Society is a valuable pedagogic text; a thoughtful and wide-ranging exploration of central themes in political theory -- state, civil society, power, rights, universalism, particularism, communitartianism, individualism, and a worthwhile and illuminating read."--Indian ExpressCivil society is, according to Marx, "the struggles and the aspirations of the age." This expression has become the foundation of reconstruction for both left radical and liberal theory. In this groundbreaking book, the author focuses on understanding the state in terms of its relation to the politics of civil society and vice versa. Author Neera Chandhoke provides readers with a stimulating conceptual analysis by sifting through historical systems of meaning. State and Civil Society makes an original and significant contribution to the study of "civil society" and its importance to the infrastructure of a democracy.An important addition to any scholar's library, this unique book is a must read in the areas of political theory, social theory, political science, political sociology, and history.

Book excerpt: “For fans of The Handmaid’s Tale...a debut novel with a dark setting and an unforgettable heroine...is a riveting depiction of hard-won female empowerment” (The Washington Post). The Sin Eater walks among us, unseen, unheard Sins of our flesh become sins of Hers Following Her to the grave, unseen, unheard The Sin Eater Walks Among Us. For the crime of stealing bread, fourteen-year-old May receives a life sentence: she must become a Sin Eater—a shunned woman, brutally marked, whose fate is to hear the final confessions of the dying, eat ritual foods symbolizing their sins as a funeral rite, and thereby shoulder their transgressions to grant their souls access to heaven. Orphaned and friendless, apprenticed to an older Sin Eater who cannot speak to her, May must make her way in a dangerous and cruel world she barely understands. When a deer heart appears on the coffin of a royal governess who did not confess to the dreadful sin it represents, the older Sin Eater refuses to eat it. She is taken to prison, tortured, and killed. To avenge her death, May must find out who placed the deer heart on the coffin and why. “Very much reminiscent of The Handmaid’s Tale…it transcends its historical roots to give us a modern heroine” (Kirkus Reviews). “A novel as strange as it is captivating” (BuzzFeed), The Sin Eater “is a treat for fans of feminist speculative fiction” (Publishers Weekly) and “exactly what historical fiction lovers have unknowingly craved” (New York Journal of Books).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind pens a captivating tale of suffering, seeking, and redemption set in Appalachia in the 1850s. In the misty peaks and valleys of Appalachia roams the sin eater—a myth as much as a man, burdened with absolving the sins of villagers passing from this life to the next. But when a young girl uncovers the dark secret behind the tradition, she vows to show her village the truth. All that matters for young Cadi Forbes is finding the one man who can set her free from the sin that plagues her, the sin that has stolen her mother’s love from her and made Cadi wish she could flee life and its terrible injustice. But Cadi doesn’t know that the sin eater is seeking as well. Before their journeys are over, Cadi and the sin eater must face themselves, each other, and the One who will demand everything from them in exchange for the answers they seek. “This unforgettable novel is rich in style, lore, and action, revealing a profound truth in a way only Francine Rivers can do. Transcending age, gender, and reading genres, this gripping story is a must-read for men, women, and young people alike.” —Romantic Times “Rivers delivers both a powerful message about Christian beliefs and the need for forgiveness of sins and an evocative portrayal of life in the 1850s. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal Also available in The Francine Rivers Historical Collection (e-book only).
