Описание: In the waning years of Latin America's longest and bloodiest civil war, the rise of an unlikely duo is transforming Colombia: Christianity and access to credit. In her exciting new book, Rebecca Bartel details how surging evangelical conversions and widespread access to credit cards, microfinance programs, and mortgages are changing how millions of Colombians envision a more prosperous future. Yet programs of financialization propel new modes of violence. As prosperity becomes conflated with peace, and debt with devotion, survival only becomes possible through credit and its accompanying forms of indebtedness. A new future is on the horizon, but it will come at a price.

Описание: Is it ever morally wrong to enjoy fantasizing about immoral things? Many video games allow players to commit numerous violent and immoral acts. But, should players worry about the morality of their virtual actions? A common argument is that games offer merely the virtual representation of violence. No one is actually harmed by committing a violent act in a game. So, it cannot be morally wrong to perform such acts. While this is an intuitive argument, it does not resolve the issue.
Focusing on why individual players are motivated to entertain immoral and violent fantasies, Video Games, Violence, and the Ethics of Fantasy advances debates about the ethical criticism of art, not only by shining light on the interesting and under-examined case of virtual fantasies, but also by its novel application of a virtue ethical account. Video games are works of fiction that enable players to entertain a fantasy. So, a full understanding of the ethical criticism of video games must focus attention on why individual players are motivated to entertain immoral and violent fantasies.
Video Games, Violence, and the Ethics of Fantasyengages with debates and critical discussions of games in both the popular media and recent work in philosophy, psychology, media studies, and game studies.

Описание:
How the brutalities of working life are transformed into exhaustion, shame, and self-doubt: a writer's account of her experience working in an Amazon fulfillment center.
No longer able to live on the proceeds of her freelance writing and translating income, German novelist Heike Geissler takes a seasonal job at Amazon Order Fulfillment in Leipzig. But the job, intended as a stopgap measure, quickly becomes a descent into humiliation, and Geissler soon begins to internalize the dynamics and nature of the post-capitalist labor market and precarious work. Driven to work at Amazon by financial necessity rather than journalistic ambition, Heike Geissler has nonetheless written the first and only literary account of corporate flex-time employment that offers "freedom" to workers who have become an expendable resource. Shifting between the first and the second person, Seasonal Associate is a nuanced expose of the psychic damage that is an essential working condition with mega-corporations. Geissler has written a twenty-first-century account of how the brutalities of working life are transformed into exhaustion, shame, and self-doubt.

Описание: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Evangeline was a bestseller in nineteenth-century America, inspiring generations of readers with a heroine who overcomes colonial violence and exile in her romantic and spiritual quest across America. Long ignored by modernist scholars, Evangeline is finally getting the critical attention it deserves. Drawing on original research in Longfellow's scholarly manuscripts, Bartel explores the theological sources and spiritual world of Evangeline, arguing that Longfellow was inspired by the church fathers to craft Evangeline into a heroine who uniquely exemplifies, in her epic quest, the ancient Christian doctrines of deification and divine light. Bartel's Glimpses of Her Father's Glory returns Evangeline to its rightful place as a major poem of American literature, one that takes as its theme nothing less than the ultimate purpose of human existence. ""Evangeline is one of the neglected masterpieces of American literature. It not only presents a compelling story told in language of astonishing beauty--the meter of Homer and Virgil truly brought to life in English for the first time--Evangeline is also a tale of deep moral, political, and theological depth. In our age of political refugees and religious persecution, these issues remain terrifyingly relevant. How good to see Timothy Bartel dig into the theological sources and implications of Longfellow's North American epic."" --Dana Gioia, author of Pity the Beautiful ""Focusing on Longfellow's interest in patristics, Timothy Bartel's new work also contributes to the recent rediscovery of Longfellow as a wonderfully learned, deeply reflective, and inevitably cosmopolitan poet."" --Christoph Irmscher, author of Longfellow Redux Timothy E. G. Bartel is assistant professor of Great Texts & Writing at The College at Saint Constantine. He holds a PhD in Divinity from University of St Andrews, and an MFA in Poetry from Seattle Pacific University. He is the author of Arroyos: Sijo and Other Poems (2015) and Aflame But Unconsumed: Poems (2019). . His essays and poems have appeared in Christianity and Literature, Notes & Queries, and Saint Katherine Review.
