Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¡Para Francisco, el propósito de ese diálogo era convertir al Sultán al cristianismo! Asimismo, Thompson demuestra que en la impaciencia de Francisco para con la dejadez litúrgica, hay una "absoluta falta de cualquier tipo de programa de reforma legal o social", su capacidad para distinguir entre la pobreza absoluta y relativa, la ausencia de cualquier "atisbo de panteísmo" en su visión de la natu. [...] Algunos católicos incluso se sorprenden al descubrir que la propia comprensión de la pobreza que tiene Francisco no tiene nada que ver con la lógica de la lucha de clases o con la envidia hacia aquellos que poseen riqueza material. [...] Más bien la abordaba principalmente por referencia al hecho de que la Segunda Persona de la Santísima Trinidad se humilló a Sí mismo, asumiendo la condición humana en la encarnación y sacrificándose a Sí mismo por la humanidad al morir en la Cruz. [...] Así, tal como lo presenta Thompson, la concepción de la pobreza que tenía San Francisco estaba claramente referida a la "renuncia de la propia voluntad", el servicio a Dios, y la obediencia al Evangelio proclamado por la Iglesia de Cristo. [...] En ese sentido, al comprensión católica de la pobreza nos recuerda que es la misericordia divina en lugar de la justicia la que verdaderamente nos salva.

[...] Dicho de otro modo, no va a haber ninguna renuncia en la crítica de la ortodoxia Católica a lo que se considera uno de los principales males de la cultura occidental, y que Benedicto XVI tuviera como un eje central de su pontificado. [...] Se remonta a la enseñanza de San Pablo de que los paganos pueden reconocer la diferencia entre el bien y el mal moral dado que ese conocimiento está inscrito en el seno de la naturaleza racional humana. [...] De 1 http://www.vatican.va/holyfather/francesco/speeches/2013/march/documents/papa-francesco20130322corpo- diplomaticosp.html 2 hecho, este es el único ámbito, sostiene el Papa Francisco, desde el que se puede distinguir adecuadamente entre lo que constituye un auténtic. [...] Como bien sabe Francisco, los principios comunes de la ley natural han constituido el punto de apoyo a partir del cual Fray Bartolomé de las Casas ejerció su defensa en el famoso debate ocurrido en Valladolid, España, en el año 1550/1551, en el que afirmara que los pueblos nativos del continente americano eran seres humanos iguales que cualquier otro, por lo que se debía a ellos la misma protecció.

Book excerpt: Luego están los comentarios de alcance más práctico acerca de cómo revitalizar algunos aspectos de la acción evangelizadora de la Iglesia que llevan largo tiempo en letargo (como es el caso de las homilías casi vacías de contenido que de modo rutinario deben soportar muchos católicos en los países de Occidente).

[...] De hecho, hacia el final de la parte del documento en donde se ofrecen las observaciones de índole económica más directas, el Papa parece darse cuenta de que sus ideas acerca de la pobreza y la economía podrían generar ciertas críticas: "Si alguien se siente ofendido IAA 6 por mis palabras", afirma Francisco "le digo que las expreso con afecto y con la mejor de las intenciones, lejos de cual.

  • Author : Jean-Luc Nancy
  • Publisher : Fordham Univ Press
  • Release : 2014-10-15
  • ISBN : 0823263401
  • Pages : 63 pages

Download or read book After Fukushima written by Jean-Luc Nancy and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renowned philosopher offers “a powerful reflection on our times . . . and the fate of our civilization, as revealed by the catastrophe of Fukushima” (François Raffoul, Louisiana State University). In 2011, a tsunami flooded Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear meltdowns, the effects of which will spread through generations and have an impact on all living things. In After Fukushima, philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy examines the nature of catastrophes in the era of globalization and technology. He argues that in today’s interconnected world, the effects of any disaster will spread in the way we currently associate only with nuclear risk. Can a catastrophe be an isolated occurrence? Is there such a thing as a “natural” catastrophe when all of our technologies—nuclear energy, power supply, water supply—are necessarily implicated, drawing together the biological, social, economic, and political? In this provocative and engaging work, Nancy examines these questions and more. Exclusive to this English edition are two interviews with Nancy conducted by Danielle Cohen-Levinas and Yuji Nishiyama and Yotetsu Tonaki.

Book    y no se lo trago la tierra      And the Earth Did Not Devour Him

Download or read book y no se lo trago la tierra And the Earth Did Not Devour Him written by Tomàs Rivera and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ñI tell you, God could care less about the poor. Tell me, why must we live here like this? What have we done to deserve this? YouÍre so good and yet you suffer so much,î a young boy tells his mother in Tomàs RiveraÍs classic novel about the migrant worker experience. Outside the chicken coop that is their home, his father wails in pain from the unbearable cramps brought on by sunstroke after working in the hot fields. The young boy canÍt understand his parentsÍ faith in a god that would impose such horrible suffering, poverty and injustice on innocent people. Adapted into the award-winning film ƒand the earth did not swallow him and recipient of the first award for Chicano literature, the Premio Quinto Sol, in 1970, RiveraÍs masterpiece recounts the experiences of a Mexican-American community through the eyes of a young boy. Forced to leave their home in search of work, the migrants are exploited by farmers, shopkeepers, even other Mexican Americans, and the boy must forge his identity in the face of exploitation, death and disease, constant moving and conflicts with school officials. In this new edition of a powerful novel comprised of short vignettes, Rivera writes hauntingly about alienation, love and betrayal, man and nature, death and resurrection and the search for community.

Book The Politics of Everybody

Download or read book The Politics of Everybody written by Holly Lewis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Everybody examines the production and maintenance of the terms 'man', 'woman', and 'other' within the current political moment; the contradictions of these categories; and the prospects of a Marxist approach to praxis for queer bodies. Few thinkers have attempted to reconcile queer and Marxist analysis. Those who have propose the key contested site to be that of desire/sexual expression. This emphasis on desire, Lewis argues, is symptomatic of the neoliberal project and has led to a continued fascination with the politics of identity. By arguing that Marxist analysis is in fact most beneficial to gender politics within the arena of body production, categorization and exclusion, Lewis develops a theory of gender and the sexed body that is wedded to the realities of a capitalist political economy. Boldly calling for a new, materialist queer theory, Lewis defines a politics of liberation that is both intersectional, transnational, and grounded in lived experience. With a new preface, Lewis discusses the argument for an explicitly Marxist understanding of trans rights - an understanding grounded in solidarity and materialist/scientific queer analysis. She also discusses the new wave of Marxist Social Reproduction Theory that has emerged since the first edition, family abolition, and the complexities of building an internationalist Marxist movement that is in solidarity with queer and trans struggles, attentive to women's realities, and one that refrains from imposing Western definitions (particularly American/Anglo definitions) onto global movements for liberation.

  • Author : Dierdra Reber

  • ISBN : 0231540906
  • Pages : 369 pages

Download or read book Coming to Our Senses written by Dierdra Reber and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming to Our Senses positions affect, or feeling, as our new cultural compass, ordering the parameters and possibilities of what can be known. From Facebook "likes" to Coca-Cola "loves," from "emotional intelligence" in business to "emotional contagion" in social media, affect has displaced reason as the primary catalyst of global culture. Through examples of feeling in the books, film, music, advertising, cultural criticism, and political discourse of the United States and Latin America, Reber shows how affect encourages the public to "reason" on the strength of sentiment alone. Well-being, represented by happiness and health, and ill-being, embodied by unhappiness and disease, form the two poles of our social judgment, whether in affirmation or critique. We must then reenvision contemporary politics as operating at the level of the feeling body, so we can better understand the physiological and epistemological conditions affirming our cultural status quo and contestatory strategies for emancipation.

Book Learning to Write

    Book Details:
  • Author : Gunther Kress
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2003-09-02
  • ISBN : 1134908288
  • Pages : 248 pages

Download or read book Learning to Write written by Gunther Kress and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, this influential and classic text poses two questions: what is it that a child learns when he or she learns to write? What can we learn about children, society and ourselves, by looking at this process? The book is based on a close analysis of a series of written texts by primary school children and is written for student teachers with little or no knowledge of linguistics. In this new edition, Gunther Kress has made extensive revisions in the light of recent developments in linguistics and in education. The theoretical focus is now a social semiotic one, which allows a fundamental rethinking of issues such as 'preliteracy' and broad social and cultural questions around the making of texts.

Book Parables for the Virtual

Download or read book Parables for the Virtual written by Brian Massumi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-09 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the body has been the focus of much contemporary cultural theory, the models that are typically applied neglect the most salient characteristics of embodied existence—movement, affect, and sensation—in favor of concepts derived from linguistic theory. In Parables for the Virtual Brian Massumi views the body and media such as television, film, and the Internet, as cultural formations that operate on multiple registers of sensation beyond the reach of the reading techniques founded on the standard rhetorical and semiotic models. Renewing and assessing William James's radical empiricism and Henri Bergson's philosophy of perception through the filter of the post-war French philosophy of Deleuze, Guattari, and Foucault, Massumi links a cultural logic of variation to questions of movement, affect, and sensation. If such concepts are as fundamental as signs and significations, he argues, then a new set of theoretical issues appear, and with them potential new paths for the wedding of scientific and cultural theory. Replacing the traditional opposition of literal and figural with new distinctions between stasis and motion and between actual and virtual, Parables for the Virtual tackles related theoretical issues by applying them to cultural mediums as diverse as architecture, body art, the digital art of Stelarc, and Ronald Reagan's acting career. The result is an intriguing combination of cultural theory, science, and philosophy that asserts itself in a crystalline and multi-faceted argument.

Book The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City

Download or read book The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City written by Jean FRANCO and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural Cold War in Latin America was waged as a war of values--artistic freedom versus communitarianism, Western values versus national cultures, the autonomy of art versus a commitment to liberation struggles--and at a time when the prestige of literature had never been higher. The projects of the historic avant-garde were revitalized by an anti-capitalist ethos and envisaged as the opposite of the republican state. The Decline and Fall of the Lettered City charts the conflicting universals of this period, the clash between avant-garde and political vanguard. This was also a twilight of literature at the threshold of the great cultural revolution of the seventies and eighties, a revolution to which the Cold War indirectly contributed. In the eighties, civil war and military rule, together with the rapid development of mass culture and communication empires, changed the political and cultural map. A long-awaited work by an eminent Latin Americanist widely read throughout the world, this book will prove indispensable to anyone hoping to understand Latin American literature and society. Jean Franco guides the reader across minefields of cultural debate and histories of highly polarized struggle. Focusing on literary texts by Garcia Marquez, Vargas Llosa, Roa Bastos, and Juan Carlos Onetti, conducting us through this contested history with the authority of an eyewitness, Franco gives us an engaging overview as involving as it is moving.

In spare, deeply affecting episodes, the professor of language explores the nuanced boundaries between “normal” and “disabled” worlds.

Sometimes meditative, often humorous, and always probing, Pontiggia’s haunting characters linger and resound long after the book is done.
