Download or read book Devotion written by Constance M. Furey and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What brings religious scholars Constance Furey, Sarah Hammerschlag, and Amy Hollywood together in Devotion is a shared conviction that "reading helps us live with and through the unknown." For them, the nature of reading raises questions fundamental to how we think about our political futures and modes of human relation. Each essay suggests different ways to characterize the object of devotion and the stance of the devout subject before it. Furey writes about devotion in terms of vivification, energy, and artifice; Hammerschlag in terms of commentary, mimicry, and fetishism; and Hollywood in terms of anarchy, antinomianism, and atopia. They are interested in literature not as providing models for ethical, political, or religious life, but as creating the site in which the possible-and the impossible-transport the reader, enabling new forms of thought, habits of mind, and modes of life. Ranging from German theologian Martin Luther to French-Jewish philosopher Sarah Kofman to American poet Susan Howe, this volume is not just a reflection on forms of devotion, it is also an enactment of devotion itself"--

Download or read book Lonesome Hero written by Fred Stenson and published by Brindle and Glass. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Tyrone Lock: born of farmers' stock; overeducated, underemployed. An inveterate pick-nose and clandestine squeezer of Revels in the supermarket. Disaffected in a way that Adrian Mole would recognize (though as Tyrone takes pains to point out, he's hardly a tortured artist; his BA was in Economics). Inexplicably involved with the lovely, pampered Miss Athena Till. The young couple are preparing for their first trip abroad: the obligatory horizon-widening sojourn in Europe, the Land of the Forefathers and the Wellspring of Culture. Except that this is an excursion that Tyrone would do anything to get out of. His horizons are plenty broad, thank you very much, and he'd rather spend his days taking walks with his dog, fly-fishing without a hook, and composing such melodious odes to his native land as: O Beaver Creek, In the Foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, I would sooner have you, Than a bunch of crappy marble fountains. First published in 1974 and now released for the first time in paperback, Lonesome Hero is a comic classic, the award-winning smartass novel that launched a spectacular writing career. This new revised edition restores scenes deleted from the original and also features an introduction by the inimitable Mark Anthony Jarman and an afterword by the author, who reflects how glad he is, looking back at his first novel, that Lonesome Hero still manages to embody the ironies of the era, the fact that we often understood perfectly how cartoonish we were. The early '70s was about avoiding work at all costs and trying to live amusingly during all one's waking hours: about how weirdly far we would go to accomplish that.

Download or read book A Treatise on Angel Magic written by Adam McLean and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An invaluable contribution to esoteric scholarship, this classic text comprises an exact and complete transcription of a rare 17th century volume on Angel Magic. With editor Adam McLean's concise and illuminating observations, A Treatise on Angel Magic constitutes one of the most important links between John Dee and the late 19th century schools of occult-The Golden Dawn, Aurum Solis, and the O.T.O founded by Aleister Crowley. McLean distinguishes this edition from many other books in this field in that he does not present merely one viewpoint on western esoterica and the study of Angel Magic but encompasses all of the important thinking on these topics present in medieval times and those of the Renaissance. Rich with charts and explanatory diagrams, A Treatise on Angel Magic is a primary source work in hermetics. This volume is a great bringing together of several seminal texts not available anywhere else. McLean transcribes and preserves in its entirety one of the most important occult manuscripts in the British Library, Harley 6482, which includes wondrous sections of the Schemhamphoras, the hierarchies of fallen angels, rapturous Images of the Mansions of the Moon, evocation of the Nature Spirits, and John Dee's Enochian system of Angel conjuration. This volume concludes with Dr. Rudd's Treatise on the Nine Hierarchies of Angels and their conjuration to visible appearance. This book is an outstandingly complete source work on Angel Magic, and the correspondence and symbolism essential to the practice of angelology. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Body written by Tiffany Atkinson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-09-11 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we mean when we talk about 'the body'? This Reader challenges the assumption that it can be invoked as a neutral, or indeed natural, point of reference in critical discussion or cultural practice. The essays collected here foreground the historical construction of 'the body' throughout a range of discourses from the modern to the postmodern, and seek to present it not as a biological 'given', but as a contestable signifier in the articulation of identities.
Download or read book Speaking in the Past Tense written by Herb Wyile and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-12-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Speaking in the Past Tense participates in an expanding critical dialogue on the writing of historical fiction, providing a series of reflections on the process from the perspective of those souls intrepid enough to step onto what is, practically by definition, contested territory.” — Herb Wyile, from the Introduction The extermination of the Beothuk ... the exploration of the Arctic ... the experiences of soldiers in the trenches during World War I ... the foibles of Canada’s longest-serving prime minister ... the Ojibway sniper who is credited with 378 wartime kills—these are just some of the people and events discussed in these candid and wide-ranging interviews with eleven authors whose novels are based on events in Canadian history. These sometimes startling conversations take the reader behind the scenes of the novels and into the minds of their authors. Through them we explore the writers’ motives for writing, the challenges they faced in gathering information and presenting it in fictional form, the sometimes hostile reaction they faced after publication, and, perhaps most interestingly, the stories that didn’t make it into their novels. Speaking in the Past Tense provides fascinating insights into the construction of national historical narratives and myths, both those familiar to us and those that are still being written.
