Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Material Religion written by Pooyan Tamimi Arab and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Material Religion places objects and bodies at the center of scholarly studies of religious life and practice. Propelling forward the study of material religion, the Handbook first reveals the deep philosophical roots of its key categories and then advances new critical analytics, such as queer materialities, inescapable material entanglements, and hyperobjects that explode the small-scale personal view on religions. The Handbook comprises thirty chapters, written by an international team of contributors who offer a global perspective of religious pasts and presents, divided into four thematic parts: Genealogies of Material Religion Materializing the Terms of the Study of Religion Entanglements, Entrapment, Escaping Hyperobjects, or How Ginormous Things Affect Religions In these four parts, the study of material religion is redirected towards systematic, critical interrogations of the imbrication of religious structures of power with racial, economic, political, and gendered forms of domination. From Spinoza’s political theology to African philosophies of ubuntu; from the queer materialities of Mesoamerican religion to the Satanic Temple of the United States; from Islamic love and sacrifice in human-animal entanglements to Shia militants’ attachment to weaponry; from epidemic cataclysm in Latin America to vast infrastructures and the gathering of millions in India’s Kumbh Mela, the study of material religion proves to be the study par excellence of the human condition. The Handbook is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies, anthropology, history, and media studies, and will also be of interest to those in related fields such as archeology, sociology, and philosophy.

This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: But in the thought experiment of forgiving a forgiving, there is something is dilemmatic and blurring. There are no ultimate good or ultimate bad sides. There is no unspeakably bad, impossible to forgive thing. There is only a god, forgiving the human souls. It is almost silly and absurd to see this action as a hurtful, disturbing and a bad thing. The god’s forgiving all human souls is really not a matter of forgiving, not at all. It is really not related to the sphere of forgiving and not forgiving, just like the occurrence of leaves of the trees falling on the soil from the trees is not something ethically bad or good. The god’s forgiving all does not belong to the dimension of forgivable-unforgivable things. But nonetheless, god’s this forgiving causes something in the heart of the human. A sense of fairness and justness is broken by this act of forgiving by god. Some souls, not all of them, now have to forgive god’s forgiving. They have to find a way to forgive something that doesn’t even belong to the realm of forgivable-unforgivable dichotomy. They have to forgive that god doesn’t hold its side of the bargain. If the other side of the bargain would not follow what is required by the agreement, then what was the point of keeping this side of the bargain, if in the end everyone would be treated the same? In the act of forgiving all, there is a violence, a violation, a trespass. This violence is two-folded. It is both about not keeping the requirements of the bargain and also about conflicting the content of it. But how can one see a forgiving (a grace, an ultimate goodness and kindness) as something within the realm of forgivable-unforgivable? The god’s forgiving is so “not-something belongs to the realm of forgiving” that it doesn’t open itself to neither forgiveness nor unforgiveness. But what about heart’s mathematics?

Download or read book The New Kierkegaard written by Elsebet Jegstrup and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placing Kierkegaard squarely within the current of contemporary continental philosophy, The New Kierkegaard reveals intriguing insights into the philosopher's work and thinking. By reading Kierkegaard deconstructively, the 13 lively essays in this volume seek a deeper understanding of his work in philosophy, religion, and aesthetics. These readings explore the breadth of Kierkegaard's thought and unfold the richness of his views on the human condition. Consideration of a broad range of themes--from irony and madness to love and experience--and texts--Either/Or, Philosophical Fragments, Works of Love, and Fear and Trembling--emphasizes the ambiguities, dialectical tensions, and open-endedness of Kierkegaard's philosophical writings. These innovative and original commentaries give Kierkegaard a fresh look and bring him into present-day discussions and debates in continental philosophy. Contributors are Jacob Bøggild, John D. Caputo, Mark Dooley, Joakim Garff, Robert Gibbs, Elsebet Jegstrup, Richard Kearney, John Llewelyn, Roger Poole, Vanessa Rumble, John Vignaux Smyth, Jason Wirth, and David Wood.

Download or read book Hollywood on the Hudson written by Richard Koszarski and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Edison invented his motion picture system in New Jersey in the 1890s, and within a few years most American filmmakers could be found within a mile or two of the Hudson River. They planted themselves here because they needed the artistic and entrepreneurial energy that D. W. Griffith realized New York had in abundance. But as the going rate for land and labor skyrocketed and their business grew more industrialized, most of them moved out. The way most historians explain it, the role of New York in the development of American film ends here. In Hollywood on the Hudson, Richard Koszarski rewrites an important part of the history of American cinema. During the 1920s and 1930s, film industry executives had centralized the mass production of feature pictures in a series of gigantic film factories scattered across Southern California, while maintaining New York as the economic and administrative center. But as Koszarski reveals, many writers, producers, and directors also continued to work here, especially if their independent vision was too big for the Hollywood production line. East Coast filmmakers-Oscar Micheaux, Rudolph Valentino, Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur, Paul Robeson, Gloria Swanson, Max Fleischer, and others-quietly created a studio system without back-lots, long-term contracts or seasonal production slates. They substituted "newsreel photography" for Hollywood glamour, targeted niche audiences instead of middle-American families, ignored accepted dramatic conventions, and pushed the boundaries of motion picture censorship. Rebellious and unconventional, they saw the New York studios as laboratories, not factories-and used them to pioneer the development of new technologies (from talkies to television), new genres, new talent, and ultimately, an entirely new vision of commercial cinema.

Download or read book Maya History written by Tatiana Proskouriakoff and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tatiana Proskouriakoff, a preeminent student of the Maya, made many breakthroughs in deciphering Maya writing, particularly in demonstrating that the glyphs record the deeds of actual human beings, not gods or priests. This discovery opened the way for a history of the Maya, a monumental task that Proskouriakoff was engaged in before her death in 1985. Her work, Maya History, has been made ready for press by the able editorship of Rosemary Joyce. Maya History reconstructs the Classic Maya period (roughly A.D. 250-900) from the glyphic record on stelae at numerous sites, including Altar de Sacrificios, Copan, Dos Pilas, Naranjo, Piedras Negras, Quirigua, Tikal, and Yaxchilan. Proskouriakoff traces the spread of governmental institutions from the central Peten, especially from Tikal, to other city-states by conquest and intermarriage. Thirteen line drawings of monuments and over three hundred original drawings of glyphs amplify the text.
