Описание:
Since the publication of White Teeth in 2000, Zadie Smith has become one of the most popular contemporary writers and also one of the mostly widely studied. Taking criticism of Smith's work beyond its traditional focus on postcolonialism and multicultural identity, Reading Zadie Smith brings together leading international scholars to open up new directions in criticism of Smith's work.
Covering such key topics as posthumanism, 'hysterical realism', religion, identity and ethics, this book brings together a full range of current critical perspectives to explore not only Smith's novels but also her short stories, her criticism and her non-fiction writing.

Описание: According to Joss Whedon, the creator of the short-lived series Firefly (2002), the cult show is about "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things." The chronicles of crewmembers on a scruffy space freighter, Firefly ran for only four months before its abrupt cancellation. In that brief time, however, it established a reputation as one of the best science-fiction programs of the new millennium: sharply written, superbly cast, and set on an exotic multicultural frontier unlike anything ever seen on the small screen. The show's large, enthusiastic fan following supported a series of comics and a theatrical film, Serenity (2005), that extended the story, deepened the characters, and revealed new wonders and dangers on the deep-space frontier. In Firefly Revisited: Essays on Joss Whedon's Classic Series, Michael Goodrum and Philip Smith present a collection that reflects on the program, the characters, and the post-cancellation film and comics that grew out of the show. The contributors to this volume offer fresh perspectives on familiar characters and blaze new trails into unexplored areas of the Firefly universe. Individual essays explore the series' place in the history of the space-Western subgenre, the political economy of the Alliance, and the uses of music and language in the series to immerse audiences in a multicultural future. These essays look at how the show offered viewers high adventure as well as engaged with a range of themes that still resonate today. As such, Firefly Revisited will intrigue the show's many fans, as well as Whedon scholars and anyone interested in the twenty-first-century renaissance of science-fiction television.
Описание: This is the first book to analyze the abuse of the internet for terrorism and crime purposes under two new perspectives: the persuasion and involvement of women and children as specific target user groups, and the development of new strategies to use extremist web forums as an open book in order to understand and gain insight into terrorist thinking. Web2.0 can be even more: an open door for dialogue, deradicalisation and ultimately a way out of the cocoon of terroristic isolation. This book presents the results of a unique cooperation between Israeli and German research centers with outstanding contributions to innovative security research. Two international conferences in Berlin in 2008 brought together worldwide leading authors both from academia and government. Most recent research results challenge the actual treatment of terroristic web forums by governmental agencies. This remarkable publication will open your eyes both on the real risks of terroristic web activities and new counter strategies from analysis to dialogue.

Описание: Being at Home in the World is a book of Christian Apologetics. But Mark McLeod-Harrison and Phil Smith don't defend Christian faith; instead, they invite readers into faith. In the course of making this invitation, the authors raise suspicions against modern naturalism, offer respectful criticisms of major religions, and explain how Christian beliefs provide an organizing center of a flourishing human life. Their invitation to Christian faith is philosophically sophisticated, but it is also honest and personal; McLeod-Harrison and Smith tell their own stories of how they grew up as Christians and why they remain believers. ""This is an important book. It is a heart-felt, candid, honest, and winsome testimony of two Christian scholars who are concerned, passionately, about living a mature, integrated, Christian life. Professors teaching foundational courses on the Christian integration of faith, life, and learning will find Being at Home in the World a thoughtful, useful, and compelling common reading for their students."" --Steven D. Fratt Trinity International University. ""Being at Home in the World is a fresh, original treatment of the ways Christian faith continues to make sense in the postmodern world and of how postmodern people might, with the help of Christian faith, begin to make better sense of their lives. The authors write in a very personal way about the kinds of reasons many readers will actually find persuasive, focusing especially on what it means to flourish as a human person."" --C. Stephen Evans Baylor University Mark McLeod-Harrison is Professor of Philosophy at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. He is the author of Repairing Eden: Humility, Mysticism, and the Existential Problem of Diversity (2005), Make/Believing the World(s) (2009), and Apologizing for God (2010). Philip Smith is Professor of Philosophy at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. He is the author of The Virtue of Civility in the Practice of Politics (2002) and a novel, The Heart of the Sea (2008).

Описание: Stunning artwork and illustrated essays illuminate the modernist home and studio of artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. Accompanying an exhibition at Philip Mould & Company in London, this lavish catalog tells the story of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant's enduring attachment to their home at Charleston Farmhouse in East Sussex through the work of the artists produced between the two world wars. Members of the Bloomsbury Group, Bell and Grant's family home functioned as the collective's country retreat and became a venue for progressive social self-expression. Their fondness for their Charleston Farmhouse, its idyllic surroundings, and its constant flow of visitors can be witnessed through their art. Beginning with radical modern works influenced by European trends--from painted furniture to depictions of food preparation in the kitchen, from the barns to the pond, from people to the household cat--this catalog tells a story of more than thirty years of astonishing artistic output. Focusing on Vanessa and Duncan's most productive creative years, this volume illustrates how Charleston fed their artistic impulses and inspired a glorious canon of art.
