Download or read book Testimony written by Shoshana Felman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique collection, Yale literary critic Shoshana Felman and psychoanalyst Dori Laub examine the nature and function of memory and the act of witnessing, both in their general relation to the acts of writing and reading, and in their particular relation to the Holocaust. Moving from the literary to the visual, from the artistic to the autobiographical, and from the psychoanalytic to the historical, the book defines for the first time the trauma of the Holocaust as a radical crisis of witnessing "the unprecedented historical occurrence of...an event eliminating its own witness." Through the alternation of a literary and clinical perspective, the authors focus on the henceforth modified relation between knowledge and event, literature and evidence, speech and survival, witnessing and ethics.
Download or read book Gendering War Talk written by Miriam Cooke and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a century torn by violent civil uprisings, civilian bombings, and genocides, war has been an immediate experience for both soldiers and civilians, for both women and men. But has this reality changed our long-held images of the roles women and men play in war, or the emotions we attach to violence, or what we think war can accomplish? This provocative collection addresses such questions in exploring male and female experiences of war--from World War I, to Vietnam, to wars in Latin America and the Middle East--and how this experience has been articulated in literature, film and drama, history, psychology, and philosophy. Together these essays reveal a myth of war that has been upheld throughout history and that depends on the exclusion of "the feminine" in order to survive. The discussions reconsider various existing gender images: Do women really tend to be either pacifists or Patriotic Mothers? Are men essentially aggressive or are they threatened by their lack of aggression? Essays explore how cultural conceptions of gender as well as discursive and iconographic representation reshape the experience and meaning of war. The volume shows war as a terrain in which gender is negotiated. As to whether war produces change for women, some contributors contend that the fluidity of war allows for linguistic and social renegotiations; others find no lasting, positive changes. In an interpretive essay Klaus Theweleit suggests that the only good war is the lost war that is embraced as a lost war. Originally published in 1993.

This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections on the Early Christian History of Religion documents the results of two recent workshops on Martin Hengel's and Maria Schwemer's first volume of first volume of Geschichte des frühen Christentums (Jesus und das Judentum [title of vol. 1], Tübingen 2007) and Larry Hurtado's Lord Jesus Christ: Devotion to Jesus in Earliest Christianity (Grand Rapids 2003). The contributors, including Hengel himself, focus on problems and possibilities of studying and presenting Christian religion in Roman Antiquity. They discuss distinctive features of these two remarkable publications and some material aspects that illustrate the relationship between the historical study of early Christian religion, religious studies in general and New Testament studies in particular. Mit den Erwägungen zur frühchristlichen Religionsgeschichte liegen die Ergebnisse zweier Fachtagungen vor, die sich mit dem ersten Band der Geschichte des frühen Christentums von Martin Hengel und Maria Schwemer (Jesus und das Judentum, Tübingen 2007) und Larry Hurtados Lord Jesus Christ: Devotion to Jesus in Earliest Christianity (Grand Rapids 2003) beschäftigt haben. Die Beiträge, u.a. von Hengel selbst, diskutieren Probleme und Möglichkeiten der Erforschung und Darstellung christlicher Religion in der römischen Antike. Sie setzen sich mit den Zugangsweisen dieser beiden Bücher auseinander und zeigen an verschiedenen Sachfragen die Bezüge, die sich bei der historischen Erforschung der frühchristlichen Religion zwischen Geschichtswissenschaft, Religionswissenschaft und Neutestamentlicher Wissenschaft ergeben.

Download or read book The Chaplain Researcher written by Niels den Toom and published by Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 2016 the Dutch Case Studies Project began in which about fifty chaplains participated as co-researchers in collecting practice-based evidence on what chaplains aim for, how they pursue it, and with what results. The chaplain-researchers produced case studies which were discussed collaboratively in research communities which were chaired by academic researchers. The engagement of chaplains in research can be understood from the development in the profession of integrating research into chaplaincy. While it is presumed that research benefits chaplains’ practices, so far the impact of research on chaplains’ practice had not been studied. Based on mixed-methods (observation, interviews, survey, focus groups), this dissertation describes, analyzes and reflects on the perceived change of chaplains’ professionalism as a result of their participation in the Case Studies Project. This practical theological research provides insight in the value of the double role of chaplain-researcher for chaplains’ professionalism.

Download or read book The Body of the Postmodernist Narrator written by Fatima Festić and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to elaborate the theoretical framework with regard to reading postmodern fiction from the perspective of the bodies of their narrators as textual occurrences. It centers on Lacanian psychoanalysis and the intersection between its various political interpretations and feminist theories. The emphasis is on the register of the real, on the domain of trauma as it appears in contemporary world, literature and history and on attempts at artistic resolution of its consequences. Since postmodernism is widely interpreted as a Western phenomenon, the book tries to show its dependence on much broader spatial, political, cultural and ideological dimensions, taking as index the darker side of literature, such as murder and destruction, dark courses of desire and the repercussions of their externalization in the reality of life. Focusing on the conditions that link contemporary cultures to the narratives and narrators’ bodies, the book exposes the potential of bodies revealed in the act of narrating and the ambiguities of their fictionalizing and subjectivizing aspects, taking the body as the site of repressed knowledge, traumas, resistance and manipulative desires. The analysis of the fictional works aims to point out a missing link between imagination and the real historical conditions from which imagination derives as well as the discursive struggle to save the tormented, territorialized body from the prismatic world by holding to the “absent referent” and prevent violence caused by the uncritical “pleasure principle”.
Download or read book Exploring Intensification written by Maria Napoli and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first collective volume specifically devoted to the multifaceted phenomenon of intensification, which has been traditionally regarded as related to the expression of degree, scaling a quality downwards or upwards. In spite of the large amount of studies on intensifiers, there is still a need for the characterization of intensification as a distinct functional category in the domain of modification. The eighteen papers of the volume contribute to this aim with a new approach (mainly corpus-based). They focus on intensification from different perspectives (both synchronic and diachronic) and theoretical frameworks, concern ancient languages (Hittite, Greek, Latin) and modern languages (mainly Italian, German, English, Kiswahili), and involve different levels of analysis. They also identify and examine different types of intensifiers, applied to different forms and structures, such as adverbs, adjectives, evaluative affixes, discourse markers, reduplication, exclamative clauses, coordination, prosodic elements, and shed light on issues which have not been extensively studied so far.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ich habe dieses Buch in meinen schwierigen Zeiten geschrieben und erkannte, dass ich meine Erfahrungen benutzen muss, um das Buch zu schreiben, um Menschen beizubringen wie sie beide Seiten des Lebens genießen können. Ich glaube, dass es nicht nur eine gute oder schlechte Zeit im Leben gibt. Ich sehe eher die Möglichkeiten für kreative Erfindungen, Regeneration, Wachstum, Neuorientierung und Nachdenken über die Vergangenheit und Zukunft. Dieses Buch habe Ich geschrieben, um die Fragen die unsere Welt am meisten gestellt werden zu beantworten, und die mir ständig durch den Kopf gehen. Ich möchte mit diesem Buch, durch meine Erfahrungen erkennen lassen, das es für jedes Problem eine Lösung geben kann. Haben die Politiker wirklich die Lösungen für unsere wirtschaftlichen Probleme? Kann die Welt jemals Frieden und Harmonie dauerhaft erleben? Brauchen wir Religionen oder Gott? Gibt es wirklich einen Gott? Wenn ja, wo können wir ihn finden? Ich hoffe, dass die meisten Fragen beantwortet sein werden, nachdem Du dieses Buch gelesen hast. Die Menschheit vergisst oft, dass es in jeder Situation zwei Seiten gibt: eine gute und schlechte Seite - wie die Sonne und der Mond, Tag und Nacht, Licht und Dunkelheit. Leider wollen wir oft nur die gute Seite sehen und vergessen dabei, dass die Zeiten des Leids uns große Chancen bieten, uns positive weiter zu entwickeln. Wir sind manchmal so sehr damit beschäftigt die schuld bei dem Anderen zu suchen und nicht bei uns. Kann das einer der Gründe sein, warum wir uns oft nicht vertragen? Ich möchte meine Erfahrungen und meine die da durch entstandene Weisheit mit dir teilen. Mach Dir keine Sorgen über den Tod, aber bereit dich in Gedanken darauf vor. Dazu gehört vor allen Dingen Gottes Liebe und Allmacht an zuerkennen. In diesen Buch schreibe Ich über Kindererziehung, Lebens -einstellungen, Charakter und viele andere Dinge des Lebens.
