Download or read book Death Be Not Proud written by David Marno and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What might contemporary thinkers learn from prayer? The seventeenth-century French philosopher Nicolas Malebranche suggested a possibility: that prayer teaches us how to attend. This book explores the precedents of Malebranche s advice by reading John Donne s poetic prayers in the context of what David Marno calls the art of holy attention. This requires an understanding of attention s role in Christian devotion, which he provides by uncovering a tradition of holy attention that spans from ascetic thinkers and Church Fathers to Catholic spiritual exercises and Protestant prayer manuals. Donne s devotional poems occupy a unique position in this tradition. Marno identifies in them a devotional model of thinking whose aim is to experience an affect of attention. Marno s argument is framed by compelling close readings of Death, be not proud, Donne s most triumphant poem about the resurrection. Elsewhere, Marno takes up Claudius s prayer in "Hamlet" and Saint Augustine s account of attention in the "Soliloquies" and the "Confessions." The book ends with a Coda on the aftermath of holy attention in the philosophies of Descartes and Malebranche."

Book excerpt: અંતિમ પ્રયાણ સમયે મનુષ્યના મન સમક્ષ તેમણે કરેલાં કૃત્યોની હારમાળા ખડી થાય છે અને તેનો પ્રાણ વ્યાકુળ બની જાય છે કે હવે આ કુકર્મોનું ફળ ભોગવવું પડશે; પછી શરીર છૂટી જતાં નિમ્ન પ્રાણને યાતનાઓ સહેવી પડે છે. આથી જો મૃત્યુ પીછીની યાત્રા આનંદમય અને પ્રકાશમય બનાવવી હોય તો પૃથ્વી પરની જીવનયાત્રાને પણ આનંદમય અને પ્રકાશમય બનાવવી જોઈએ. આ જીવનયાત્રા કેવી બનાવવી તે મનુષ્યના હાથની વાત છે. જીવનયાત્રામાંથી કંડારાય છે જીવન પછીની યાત્રાનો માર્ગ. એથી જ કહેવાયું છે કે જેવું જીવન તેવું મૃત્યુ! - માતાજી/શ્રી અરવિંદ

Download or read book Living with the Dead in the Andes written by Izumi Shimada and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Andean idea of death differs markedly from the Western view. In the Central Andes, particularly the highlands, death is not conceptually separated from life, nor is it viewed as a permanent state. People, animals, and plants simply transition from a soft, juicy, dynamic life to drier, more lasting states, like dry corn husks or mummified ancestors. Death is seen as an extension of vitality. Living with the Dead in the Andes considers recent research by archaeologists, bioarchaeologists, ethnographers, and ethnohistorians whose work reveals the diversity and complexity of the dead-living interaction. The book’s contributors reap the salient results of this new research to illuminate various conceptions and treatments of the dead: “bad” and “good” dead, mummified and preserved, the body represented by art or effigies, and personhood in material and symbolic terms. Death does not end or erase the emotional bonds established in life, and a comprehensive understanding of death requires consideration of the corpse, the soul, and the mourners. Lingering sentiment and memory of the departed seems as universal as death itself, yet often it is economic, social, and political agendas that influence the interactions between the dead and the living. Nine chapters written by scholars from diverse countries and fields offer data-rich case studies and innovative methodologies and approaches. Chapters include discussions on the archaeology of memory, archaeothanatology (analysis of the transformation of the entire corpse and associated remains), a historical analysis of postmortem ritual activities, and ethnosemantic-iconographic analysis of the living-dead relationship. This insightful book focuses on the broader concerns of life and death.

Download or read book Mark Gruenwald and the Star Spangled Symbolism of Captain America 1985 1995 written by Jason Olsen and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1985 to 1995, Mark Gruenwald was the head writer for Captain America. During this decade, Gruenwald wrote some of the most essential stories in Captain America's history and guided the comic through an eventful period of both world history and comic book history. This book dissects the influence of the world at large on Gruenwald's stories and the subsequent influence of Gruenwald's work on the world of comics. The book's ten chapters discuss a wide range of topics including the generational tensions inherent in a comic about a G.I. Generation hero, written by a baby boomer, for an audience of Gen Xers; the enduring threat of the Red Skull and the never-ending aura of World War II; the rising popularity of vigilante characters during the '90s; and how Captain America fits into the war on drugs and its "just say no" mentality. Set against the declining American patriotism of the 1980s and 1990s, this book places special emphasis on the symbolism of the most American of superheroes.

After she recovered from the car wreck that nearly killed her, she withdrew from the life she was leading—not just because her family was destroyed and her friendships broken, but also because she started noticing some very disturbing things about the world around her. These days, along with keeping to herself, she simply endures the horrific monsters she sometimes sees in the place of seemingly normal men. She doesn’t know what to do, so she does nothing. Gabe has been Light for eight years. He’s accustomed to the unique lifestyle centered on destroying the creatures of darkness that infiltrate the human world to wreak havoc on it. As a Gatherer his job is to find new Light people and introduce them to their new way of existing, but the routine and relatively quiet life he’s been leading for so long is interrupted when he encounters Marienne. She’s distinctive, and of all the bizarre things he’s seen in his life, her unexpected appearance is the one that shocks him the most. But these two strangers are on the brink of something much bigger than simply changing each other’s lives. The scale balancing good against evil can only stay steady for so long before it tips toward darkness, and that upset is just around the corner. And Marienne, Gabe and everyone they know—Light or not—will be swept up in the fight to right it. **The Light Trilogy contains adult content.**
