Book Description
Encompassing a range of disciplines—notably anthropology, politics, history, comparative literature, and philosophy—the unprecedented annual publication Late Editions exposes unsettling dilemmas and unprecedented challenges facing cultural studies on the brink of the twenty-first century. Successive volumes will appear annually until the year 2000, each engaging the predicaments of particular institutions, nations, and persons at this point of social, cultural, and political change. The project will test the limits of scholarly conventions by finding new ways to expose cultural formations emerging from the maturation or exhaustion of once-powerful ideas whose validity is now deeply in question. Perilous States, the first volume of Late Editions, presents conversations between American scholars, most of whom are anthropologists, and individuals situated amidst political and social upheaval. Pimarily but not exclusively from Eastern Europe, the cast includes Russian writers, Hungarian scientists and academics, Armenian politicians, Siberian religious and medical leaders, a Gypsy leader, a Polish poet, a French politician, and a white South African musician who is a self-styled Zulu. Their voices unite around themes of democracy, market economy, individual rights, and the reawakened force of suppressed ethnic and racial identities. To obtain fresh perspectives on these cultural and social transformations, the volumes will consist of in-depth conversations, relayed in essay form, between scholars and individuals in other cultures with whom they share affinities. This novel approach blends the immediacy of interviews, the objectivity of journalism, and the intellectual rigor of scholarship. Contributors to this volume are Marjorie Balzer, Sam Beck, David B. Coplan, Michael M. J. Fischer, Nia Georges, Bruce Grant, Douglas R. Holmes, Stella Gregorian, George E. Marcus, Kathryn Milun, Eleni Papagaroufali, Paul Rabinow, Julie Taylor, and Tom White.

REVELATION
Author: Kevin HartleyPublisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Revelation: Understanding the Age is just as the title indicates: it is a biblical commentary on the book of Revelation that interprets the book as it intends to be interpreted, describing this present age, wherein the eternal will of God is being accomplished by way of the conquest of the Lamb unto judgment and salvation in the end. It is a truly "amillenial" commentary on Revelation. In the likes of Ramsey and Hendriksen, this book focuses upon the true biblical insights of Revelation. It is designed to accentuate the glory and majesty of our Christ and King in the advance of His kingdom in this present age. With the overabundance and saturation of books and commentaries available on the book of Revelation, this book stands out as one of sound, biblical exegesis, in accordance with true Reformed theology, focusing upon the design and intent of the book, as both an epistle useful for the soul, and as prophetic material intended to encourage, embolden, and find use in the furtherance of the faith of God's elect in this present last age. The book follows the biblical hermeneutic of scripture interpreting scripture. It relies upon the text and not circumstances of the day to explain the truth of the content of our Lord's final word to us in these last days. It mollifies the imagination and myths of those that have done a great disservice to the church and our Lord's kingdom by relegating most of the book's content to a future age. Here is a commentary that will rightly afford the reader with the tools and understanding necessary to put the book to its proper use today.

This book explores complex relations between violence, historical memory, and the production of "ethnicity" and "race."

Protests, Pandemic, and Security Predicaments
Author: Wei-chin LeePublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303133776X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
This book examines how Asian countries have responded to urgent challenges against a backdrop of climactic political developments, as well as the effects of issue linkage in policy making. Chapters are arranged according to localities but interlinked through their thematic and critical analyses. The section on Hong Kong focuses on the theme of protests, highlighting its intersection with identity and generational shifts in addition to legal, political and economic changes before and after the adoption of Hong Kong National Security Law. The section examining Taiwan’s policies discusses electoral calculations, identity reconstruction, cross-Strait stalemate and alliance maneuvers within USA-China-Taiwan triangular international relations, providing an overview of its domestic and external policies. Through their analysis, the authors here determine that China has emphasized the prerogatives of history, culture and territorial sovereignty in its dealings with the Hong Kong protests and Taiwan, and that cross-Strait analysis must be deliberated and ultimately determined within the USA-China-Taiwan triangular framework. In the final section, authors examine the USA’s role and policy in dealing with both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Hegemonic power transition has been a primary concern in both countries with the USA’s hegemonic status facing daunting challenges from China, increasingly perceived as an ascending revisionist power waiting to overtake the USA in the future.
PSYCHOLOGY, FOLKLORE, CREATIVITY AND THE HUMAN DILEMMA
Author: Julius E. HeuscherPublisher: Charles C Thomas Publisher
ISBN: 0398084319
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
In Psychology, Folklore, Creativity and the Human Dilemma, the author explores the meaning of folklore and its usefulness in education and psychotherapy. The author’s interest has expanded into other fields that challenge and question the limits of our everyday horizons, namely, into operas, plays, and humor, as well as into new approaches to the meaning of human existence explored by modern thinkers. These various fields often interact, explain, and enrich each other. The book aims for deepening the awareness of our ultimate human concerns, the meaning of authenticity, and the urgent need for radical, long-term commitments. The present volume focuses almost entirely on the role of folklore in expanding and enriching a person’s horizons, on the challenges by modern writers in terms of the need to radically alter the paradigm of Western society that has brought the blessings of technology, led to a fragmentation of our psyche, and threatens the very essence of our subjectivity. Throughout the book there is both the hidden and the overt implication that simply liking, appreciating or agreeing with insightful ideas and suggestions presented by anyone are absolutely worthless, or may even be counterproductive, if the readers do not translate into changes and actions the ideas that are most meaningful to them, and if they do not do so in their family, social, political and spiritual life.
