Описание:
This book argues that the abject, decrepit body in Beckett does not signal the impossibility of agency but demands its reconceptualisation. Analysing the representation of the body in relation to the environment in Beckett’s work, the author interrogates the power to do and act. Separating dynamic interaction from willed intention, Amanda Dennis shows how Beckett’s oeuvre refashions subjectivity in dialogue with a disintegrating environment. The book provides a phenomenological reading of Beckett to argue that sensation and embodiment support our interactions with our material world, enabling possibilities for embodied agency in collaboration with our physical and linguistic surroundings.

Описание: This book offers a critical edition of arguably the greatest work of English theology in the 20th century: Austin Farrer's Bampton Lectures published as The Glass of Vision in 1948. Farrer was an interdisciplinary genius who made original contributions to philosophy, theology, and biblical studies, as well as to our understanding of the role of imagination in human thought and Christian doctrine. According to Farrer, the three primary themes of these lectures are 'scripture, metaphysics, and poetry, ' individually and in relation to each other. The lectures defend his famous theory of divine revelation through images rather than propositions or events, a provocative account of the place of metaphysical reasoning in theology, and a literary approach to the Biblical text that was decades ahead of its time and is still controversial. The Glass of Vision has generated a rich and interesting interdisciplinary conversation that has lasted for decades, starting with commentators such as Helen Gardner and Frank Kermode. In addition to Farrer's full text, this critical edition also contains an introduction to the significance and context of Farrer's thought, and a selection of thirty-years' worth of commentary by leading British and European theologians and literary scholars: David Brown, Ingolf Dalferth, Hans Haugh, Douglas Hedley, David Jasper, and Gerard Loughlin. Of interest to literary and biblical scholars, theologians, and philosophers, this book holds particular value for those exploring the nature of imagination in contemporary thought and scholarship.

Описание: Jonathan Boulter offers the reader a way of understanding Beckett`s presentation of the human, more precisely, posthuman, subject in his short prose.
Описание: In this first ever monograph on Jacques Derrida’s ‘Toledo confession’ – where he portrayed himself as ‘sort of a Marrano of the French Catholic culture’ – Agata Bielik-Robson shows Derrida’s marranismo to be a literary experiment of auto-fiction. She looks at all possible aspects of Derrida’s Marrano identification in order to demonstrate that it ultimately constitutes a trope of non-identitarian evasion that permeates all his works: just as Marranos cannot be characterized as either Jewish or Christian, so is Derrida’s ‘universal Marranism’ an invitation to think philosophically, politically and – last but not least – metaphysically without rigid categories of identity and belonging.By concentrating on Derrida’s deliberate choice of marranismo, Bielik-Robson shows that it penetrates deep into the very core of his late thinking, constantly drawing on the literary works of Kafka, Celan, Joyce, Cixous and Valery, and throws a new light on his early works, most of all: Of Grammatology, Dissemination and 'Differance'. She also offers a completely new interpretation of many of Derrida’s works only seemingly non-related to the Marrano issue, like Glas, Given Time: Counterfeit Money, Death Penalty Seminar, and Specters of Marx. In these new readings, this book demonstrates that the Marrano Derrida is not a marginal auto-biographical figure overshadowed by Derrida the Philosopher: it is one and the same thinker who discovered marranismo as a literary trope of openness, offering up a new genre of philosophical story-telling which centers around Derrida’s Marrano ‘auto-fable’.
Описание: Aidan explores the ways in which Nietzsche`s warning that `the desert grows` has been taken up by Heidegger, Derrida and Deleuze in their critiques of modernity, and the desert in literature ranging from T.S Eliot to Don DeLillo; from imperial travel writing to postmodernism; and from the Old Testament to salvagepunk.
Описание: New Age Bible of Mother Africa 2: Black & White ed. The African Origins of Race and Skin Color. A scientific exploration into OUR prehistoric extraterrestrial ancestors and their creation of all mankind. These manuals are to serve as a compilation of data, based on modern scientific discoveries and ancient text, to support the theory that all of humanity, and much of animal and plant life was genetically engineered by the Anunnaki (Ah-noon-Nah-kee). Anunnaki literally translates to mean, "Those who from heaven came down to Earth." The Anunnaki are a group of deities in ancient Mesopotamian cultures (i.e. Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian). First, we must 'over-stand' that the knowledge of these Great Beings is also well-known and taught in many African religions, as well. Based on what we can learn of the Anunnaki connection to modern humans, may in turn help us to better understand what many modern world religions reveal as truths pertaining to Christian Genesis, or of human creation by divine creationism... in general. The author's main purpose for organizing this manual and compiling the sources herein, is to present the Ancient Astronaut Theory on these Anunnaki, and to challenge the concept(s) of creationism by breaking down the theories into 'layman terms'- to be better understood by those unfamiliar with the theories, or simply curious as to how these concepts now relate to modern day scientific knowledge of how the Earth was shaped; and how humanity, as we know it, has come to be. The other goals of this author are to debunk: all racist ideologies worldwide, the unproven theory of human evolution, as well as, the modern theory that humanity migrated 'Out of Africa' to populate all corners of the world... thus causing those people to naturally mutate into new races due to climatology, and a few other factors that will be addressed, questioned, and debunked herein.

Описание: A Bloody and Barbarous God investigates the relationship between gnosticism, a system of thought that argues that the cosmos is evil and that the human spirit must strive for liberation from manifest existence, and the perennial philosophy, a study of the highest common factor in all esoteric religions, and how these traditions have influenced the later novels of Cormac McCarthy, namely Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain, No Country for Old Men, and The Road. Mundik argues that McCarthy continually strives to evolve an explanatory theodicy throughout his work and that his novels are, to a lesser or greater extent, concerned with the meaning of human existence in relation to the presence of evil and the nature of the divine.
Founder of a beauty empire, Madam C. J. Walker was celebrated as America's first self-made female millionaire in the early 1900s. Known as a leading African American entrepreneur, Walker was also devoted to an activist philanthropy aimed at empowering African Americans and challenging the injustices inflicted by Jim Crow.
Tyrone McKinley Freeman's biography highlights how giving shaped Walker's life before and after she became wealthy. Poor and widowed when she arrived in St. Louis in her twenties, Walker found mentorship among black churchgoers and working black women. Her adoption of faith, racial uplift, education, and self-help soon informed her dedication to assisting black women's entrepreneurship, financial independence, and activism. Walker embedded her philanthropy in how she grew her business, forged alliances with groups like the National Association of Colored Women, funded schools and social service agencies led by African American women, and enlisted her company's sales agents in local charity and advocacy work.
Illuminating and dramatic, Madam C. J. Walker’s Gospel of Giving broadens our understanding of black women’s charitable giving and establishes Walker as a foremother of African American philanthropy.
