This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Présentation : Comment comprendre l’actuel retour en force d’une violence barbare inouïe se réclamant d’une pensée mythico-religieuse qui prétend refonder l’ordre des choses humaines et mondaines sur un principe sacré de nature théologico-éthique et même théologico-politique ? La plus grande révolution culturelle de l’humanité, qui a vu le logos (la raison) se libérer du muthos (le mythe, en Grèce antique) puis de la religion (dans l’Europe des Lumières), aurait-elle échoué dans son projet d’éclairement et d’émancipation ? Le nécessaire réarmement des Lumières contre ce nouvel obscurantisme ne saurait faire l’économie d’un sursaut intellectuel et moral qui examine à nouveaux frais les rapports du muthos et du logos, par la médiation d’une étude du mythe et de la religion qui serait à la hauteur des enjeux cosmopolitiques ou civilisationnels de la crise de l’humanité contemporaine, qui repose de façon inédite et urgente la question vitale : civilisation ou barbarie, Eros ou Thanatos ?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La magie est-elle une anti-religion ? Quelle est la part des religions dans la définition des identités ? D'où les détenteurs d'une autorité religieuse tiennent-ils leur légitimité ? Pourquoi a-t-on pratiqué le sacrifice, et comment a-t-on géré la part de violence qu'il recèle ? A quelles conditions un défunt devient-il un ancêtre objet de culte ? Qu'est-ce qu'un lieu saint, et comment s'inscrit-il dans l'organisation symbolique d'un territoire ? Quels sont les ressorts des diverses formes de la radicalité religieuse ? Comment l'écriture a-t-elle affecté la production et la transmission des mythes ? Pourquoi la quête spirituelle et l'ascèse mystique sont-elles des comportements subversifs ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions qui jalonnent les chemins de la recherche académique sur les religions et qui sont ici développées. A l'articulation de l'histoire et des sciences sociales, l'"histoire des religions", ou l'"histoire comparée des religions", ou encore les "sciences des religions", quelle qu'en soit la désignation, cette approche des phénomènes religieux applique à son objet les méthodes d'investigation et d'interprétation habituelles aux sciences humaines. Ce livre propose les connaissances de base sur les contenus et les fonctionnements communs aux systèmes religieux passés et actuels, ainsi qu'une présentation critique des catégories utilisées pour construire ces connaissances. Le sacré, la tradition, le rite, le mythe, le chamanisme, les religions de salut, les groupes sectaires, l'attente eschatologique, autant de notions sur lesquelles sont présentées de brèves synthèses des débats auxquels elles ont donné lieu et des connaissances acquises par la recherche récente.

Book excerpt: On Narcissism: An Introduction is a densely packed essay dealing with ideas that are still being debated today - from the role of narcissism in normal and pathological development and the relationship of narcissism to homosexuality, libido, romantic love, and self-esteem to issues of therapeutic intervention. The contributors place the work in the context of Freud's evolving thinking, point out its innovations, review its problematic aspects, and examine how its theoretical concepts have been elaborated more recently by analysts of diverse theoretic persuasions. In addition, they use Freud's text to chart new developments in psychoanalysis and point toward still unresolved problems. An introduction by Joseph Sandler, Ethel Spector Person, and Peter Fonagy provides a succinct overview of the material.Contributors: Willy Baranger, David Bell, R.

Download or read book The Challenge of Diversity written by Rainer Bauböck and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigration from diverse origins has not only changed the social composition of highly industrialized societies. It has also profoundly affected their cultural identities. Nations originating from immigration, such as the USA, Australia or Israel, have reluctantly abandoned the vision of a melting pot wherein all ethnic origins would be transformed into a homogeneous national identity. But will common citizenship be sufficient to integrate an ethnic mosaic? Many European societies have traditionally identified the political nation with specific ethnic traditions. How much cultural adaptation can they expect from immigrants and how open are their national cultures for accommodating the immigrant experience? Ten authors address these questions. There is a common denominator: Cultural diversity resulting from immigration is neither seen as inherently desirable nor as a problem to be overcome, but rather as a challenge to which liberal democracies have not yet responded adequately.

Download or read book Religion Dans L histoire written by Michel Despland and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 1992-03-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the concept of “religion” in Western tradition has intrigued scholars for years. This important collection of eighteen essays brings further light to the ongoing debate. Three of the invited participants, W.C. Smith, M. Despland and E. Feil, has each previously written impressive books treating this subject; the last two acknowledged the impact and continuing influence of Smith’s work, The Meaning and End of Religion. An introduction and a recapitulation of Smith’s contribution as a scholar set the stage for a retrospective look at the published literature. Contributors then examine the transformation of words (the classical religio to the modern religion), particularities of religion in nineteenth-century France, Troeltsch’s concept of religion, the study of religion from an Asian point of view and the categorization of “World Religions.” The concluding essays elaborate contemporary anthropological, cross-disciplinary, semiological, deconstructive and psychoanalytical methodological approaches to the concept and study of “religion.” Exploring critically different aspects of the concept and study of religion, these provocative essays typically reflect the methodological pluralism currently existing in the field of Religious Studies. Of interest to scholars and students alike, this collection also contains a complete bibliography of W.C. Smith’s publications.

Download or read book The Violence of Modernity written by Debarati Sanyal and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Violence of Modernity turns to Charles Baudelaire, one of the most canonical figures of literary modernism, in order to reclaim an aesthetic legacy for ethical inquiry and historical critique. Works of modern literature are commonly theorized as symptomatic responses to the trauma of history. In a climate that tends to privilege crisis over critique, Debarati Sanyal argues that it is urgent to rethink literary experience in terms that recall its contestatory potential. Examining Baudelaire's poems afresh, she shifts the focus of critical attention toward an account of modernism as an active engagement with violence, specifically the violence of history in nineteenth-century France. Sanyal analyzes a literary current that uses the traditional hallmarks of modernism—irony, intertextuality, self-reflexivity, and formalism—to challenge the historical violence of modernity. Baudelaire and the committed ironists writing in his wake teach us how to read and resist the violence of history, and thereby to challenge the melancholy tenor of our contemporary "wound culture." In a series of provocative readings, Sanyal presents Baudelaire's poetry as an aesthetic form that contests historical violence through rhetorical strategies of complicity, counterviolence, and critique. The book develops a new account of Baudelaire's significance as a modernist by dislodging him both from his traditional status as a practitioner of "art for art's sake" and from his more recent incarnation as the poet of trauma. Following her extended analysis of Baudelaire's poetry, Sanyal in later chapters considers a number of authors influenced by his strategies—including Rachilde, Virginie Despentes, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre—to examine the relevance of their interventions for our current climate of trauma and terror. The result is a study that underscores how Baudelaire's legacy continues to energize literary engagements with the violence of modernity.
