Download or read book Jesus Over Everything written by Lisa Whittle and published by W Publishing Group. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christian women, we desire to put Jesus first. We want to prioritize him above all, knowing instinctively that when we do, everything else in our lives will fall into alignment. Yet life feels complicated, and the demands of our daily lives leave our priorities out of order and our hearts longing for more. Author, speaker, and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle is passionate about helping people pursue Jesus for life, grow deep roots of faith, and walk strong in a world that so often seems to have gone crazy. In Jesus Over Everything, Lisa shares eight statements of choice to help us grow in our understanding of what it means to put Jesus first amid the craziness our days bring, including choices such as commitment over mood, steady over hype, holiness over freedom, service over spotlight, and more. Jesus Over Everything is a practical, compelling picture of what we crave yet struggle to define as we seek to give God his rightful place in our everyday lives.
Download or read book Baudelaire s Media Aesthetics written by Marit Gr�tta and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baudelaire's Media Aesthetics situates Charles Baudelaire in the midst of 19th-century media culture. It offers a thorough study of the role of newspapers, photography, and pre-cinematic devices in Baudelaire's writings, while also discussing the cultural history of these media generally. Whereas Baudelaire is often seen as an advocate of “art for art's sake” and an enemy of the mechanical arts, this book reveals that Baudelaire's aesthetics was inspired by 19th-century media technology. It argues that Baudelaire played with the new forms of perception emerging in the media age, using them as frames of perception and ways of experiencing the world. Highlighting Baudelaire's interaction with the media in his age, this study also addresses the ways in which we respond to new media technology, drawing on perspectives from Walter Benjamin and Giorgio Agamben. Baudelaire's Media Aesthetics bridges the gap between literary and visual studies by introducing perspectives from media, visual and cinema studies in the reading of Baudelaire. Combining detailed research with contemporary theory, it opens up new perspectives on Baudelaire's writings, the figure of the flâneur, and modernist aesthetics.

The concepts of fiction and perspective have played a number of crucial roles in the Humanities during the last fifty years, in particular in the intersection between linguistics, the aesthetic disciplines, and philosophy. The writers in this anthology discuss some of the most debated questions in this context, such as different conceptions of point of view in narrative fiction, historical counterfactual fiction, the relationship between fact and fiction in historiography, how to understand and analyze statements about an individual's belief perspective, and how everyday discourse is anchored in perspective views of the world.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post Marxism written by Alex Callinicos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past two decades, Marxism has enjoyed a revitalization as a research program and a growth in its audience. This renaissance is connected to the revival of anti-capitalist contestation since the Seattle protests in 1999 and the impact of the global economic and financial crisis in 2007–8. It intersects with the emergence of Post-Marxism since the 1980s represented by thinkers such as Jürgen Habermas, Chantal Mouffe, Ranajit Guha and Alain Badiou. This handbook explores the development of Marxism and Post-Marxism, setting them in dialogue against a truly global backdrop. Transcending the disciplinary boundaries between philosophy, economics, politics and history, an international range of expert contributors guide the reader through the main varieties and preoccupations of Marxism and Post-Marxism. Through a series of framing and illustrative essays, readers will explore these traditions, starting from Marx and Engels themselves, through the thinkers of the Second and Third Internationals (Rosa Luxemburg, Lenin and Trotsky, among others), the Tricontinental, and Subaltern and Post-Colonial Studies, to more contemporary figures such as Huey Newton, Fredric Jameson, Judith Butler, Immanuel Wallerstein and Samir Amin. The Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post-Marxism will be of interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy, cultural studies and theory, sociology, political economics and several areas of political science, including political theory, Marxism, political ideologies and critical theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Churchill is a 1953 Nobel laureate in literature, his famous speeches have overshadowed his other writing.

Download or read book Exile and Otherness written by Alexander Stephan and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years Culture Studies, Anthropology, German Studies, History, Political Psychology, and other fields have used the concept of 'exile' in close connection with terms like migration, border crossing, identity, and transnationality. Views of a homogeneous culture and of centricity collide with ideas like multiculturalism, pluralism, creolization, and the globalization of differences. A transit-culture, inhabited by the flaneur and the nomad, is supposed to have replaced citizenship in a nation. At the same time, there can be no doubt that the experience of those writers, artists and intellectuals who were driven out of Germany and Europe by the Nazis was in many ways unique. This book investigates the exile experience in a theoretical and comparative way by exploring the possibilities and limitations of concepts like diaspora, de-localization, and transit-culture for understanding the lives and works of German and Austrian refugees from Nazi persecution. It revisits the interaction of the exiles with the culture of their host countries in light of recent debates about migration and identity studies and it analyzes texts, paintings and other methods of artistic expression which connect the experience of the refugees of 1933 with postmodern notions of de-localization, hybridity, and marginalization.
