Описание: This is the first study of monstrosity in Jewish history from the Middle Ages to modernity. Drawing on Jewish history, literary studies, folklore, art history and the history of science, it examines both the historical depiction of Jews as monsters and the creative use of monstrous beings in Jewish culture.Jews have occupied a liminal position within European society and culture, being deeply immersed yet outsiders to it. For this reason, they were perceived in terms of otherness and were often represented as monstrous beings. However, at the same time, European Jews invoked, with tantalizing ubiquity, images of magical, terrifying and hybrid beings in their texts, art and folktales. These images were used by Jewish authors and artists to push back against their own identification as monstrous or diabolical and to tackle concerns about religious persecution, assimilation and acculturation, gender and sexuality, science and technology and the rise of antisemitism. Bringing together an impressive cast of contributors from around the world, this fascinating volume is an invaluable resource for academics, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates interested in Jewish studies, as well as the history of monsters.

Описание: With sharp focus and startling language, the poems in Maw Shein Win's second book, Storage Unit for the Spirit House, look through physical objects to glimpse the ephemeral, the material, and the immaterial. Vinyl records, felt wolverines, a belt used to punish children, pain pills, and "show dogs with bejeweled collars" crowd into Win's real and imagined storage units. Nats, Buddhist animist deities from her family's homeland of Burma, haunt the book's six sections. The nats, spirits believed to have the power to influence everyday lives, inhabit the storage units and hover around objects while forgotten children sleep under Mylar blankets and daughters try to see through the haze of a father's cigarette smoke. Assemblages of both earthly and noncorporeal possessions throughout the collection become resonant and alive, and Win must summon "a circle of drums and copper bells" to appease the nats who have moved into a long-ago family house. This careful curation of unlikely objects and images becomes an act of ritual collection that uses language to interrogate how pain in life can transform someone into a nat or a siren that lives on. Restrained lines request our imagination as we move with the poet through haunted spaces and the objects that inhabit them.
Shein Luipa Guides You through Buddhism from Start to Finish
Buddhism is a word that describes a set of teachings and practices everyone has heard of but that very few people understand. This is unfortunate, because the teachings and practices of Buddhism are widely applicable and universally beneficial. Laid down by the Buddha and passed on through the ages, these are instructions for living, followed in various ways and all connecting back to a set of core ideas.
In Buddhism: Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Core Philosophy, author Shein Luipa takes you from beginning to end, starting on the assumption that what you know about Buddhism could fit onto the head of a pin and leaving you by the pages' end with a strong grasp of what the teachings and practices are all about.
This is a book that will change your life and reshape your worldview, initiating you on a singular and thrilling journey of self-discovery and release. It all starts with a single question: what is Buddhism? From that question, Luipa explains the following:
* Meditation
* The Buddhist Community
* Monastic Life
* Parishioners
* Different Kinds of Buddhism
Once through that introductory section, Luipa goes into tremendous depth on the topic of Buddhism, covering these topics in succession:
* Buddha's Teaching
* The 4 Noble Truths
* Following the Teachings of Buddha (Triple Jewel, Five Doctrines, Wheel of Life)
* Mindful Meditation to Relieve Anxiety and Stress (with specific effects)
* Creating a Meditation Space
* Meditation Tips and Tricks
* Buddhism and Modern Times
* Rituals and Rights (Death, Marriage, Birth, Initiation, etc.)
In all, this is a dense book but no more dense than it needs to be, a complex book but as simple as it can be, and a powerful book but one that is also immediately accessible. You have heard the word before - Buddhism - and maybe you have some images or connotations that you associate with it in your head. Wisdom is well within your reach and working to learn the teachings and practices of Buddhism, whether academically or practically, you can take a huge step forward in your personal development and your understanding of the world.
