Описание:

In recent years, both scholars and the general public have become increasingly fascinated by the role of religion in modern Chinese life. However, the bulk of attention has been devoted to changes caused by the repression of the Maoist era and subsequent religious revival.

The Fifty Years That Changed Chinese Religion breaks new ground by systematically demonstrating that equally important transformative processes occurred during the period covering the last decade of the Qing dynasty and the entire Republican period. Focusing on Shanghai and Zhejiang, this book delves in depth into the real-life workings of social structures, religious practices and personal commitments as they evolved during this period of wrenching changes. At the same time, it goes further than the existing literature in terms of theoretical models and comparative perspectives, notably with other Asian countries such as Korea and Japan.

Описание: In recent years, the study of modern Chinese religions has developed into a highly innovative yet challenging field. One of the main reasons for this involves an ongoing (and largely unresolved) debate regarding what methods and theories are appropriate for analyzing the wide range of beliefs and practices we encounter. This series of three volumes is based on the conviction that, in this critical period of research on modern Chinese religions, it is time for scholars to review the development of our field, reconsider its present state of theories and analytical models, and open a new chapter in the understanding of methodologies we employ. Our research is grounded on the need to re-evaluate concepts and practices that inform both the religious sphere and contemporary scholarship, including endogenous Chinese concepts and exogenous ideas from the West and Japan that have been foundational in shaping our knowledge of the Chinese religious landscape. In this third volume of our series, we examine a variety of key concepts through their praxis in modern Chinese lived religions.

Описание:

When Pierre, a troubled veteran discovers that his girlfriend Ellen is an expensive call girl, it's easy to understand the need to protect what belongs to him. Pierre's been to war and back and lost brothers fighting wars against an unknown enemy. To discover that the very people Ellen services are profiting off the backs of other soldiers and students like him for their own gain while threatening Ellen's life was all it took to throw Pierre over the edge. Planning the perfect murder quickly becomes something bigger and eviler than he could have ever imagined with so much more at stake than just Ellen's reputation.

From getting to know the charismatic lawyers Claudius Sisken and Simon Vogel, to seeing how the prosecution works the smallest angles in trying to discover the evidence needed to solve the murder of a notorious businessman and US Senator, Disorder will keep you hooked and give you insight to the workings of a murder trial in a spellbinding way that will make you question everything.

Описание: I love the vibrant cinematic hunger of this book, its urbanity, yours and mine too." --Eileen Myles

Friendship, love, and the potential energy of change animate these poems of walking through New York City--now in paperback.

Broadway, the famous artery, both off the grid and definitive of Manhattan as it cuts its way downtown, is a metaphor for Katz's path through these poems. From Lincoln Plaza on the Upper West Side to the African Burial Ground and the courthouses downtown, Katz mines his native city for the deep humanity that undergirds its streets. His title, with its implication that one could give something as large and undefinable as Broadway to a single person, courts an impossibility that generates the possibility of friendship, as well as the largesse Katz wants to find in our civic discourse. In poems such as Ivanka Skirting and This Beautiful Bubble we encounter his reckoning with a divisive culture that can, he suggests, be healed through our daily acts--through a kind of alert graciousness that also defines his poetry. In this moving collection, we enter Katz's world, both public and private, and experience poetry as a way of seeing that can change hearts and minds.
