Picking Fights with the Gods
Author: Paul Gilk
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498299830
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
The common understanding of "apocalypse" suggests End Times, Armageddon, and the end of the world. But the Greek word apokalypsis means none of these things. What it does mean is uncovering, disclosing, and revelatory. That "apocalypse" is so widely misunderstood as predestined disaster isn't due to natural evolution in meaning. To penetrate the misuse of apokalypsis is to discover mythic misrepresentation. That is, "apocalypse" doesn't generate End Times but--just the opposite--End Times compels apokalypsis. The actual threat of End Times--explicitly so with weapons of mass destruction and Anthropocene climate change--forces thoughtful people into a search for fundamental causes: Where do these destructive energies originate? Why are we so reluctant to recognize the obvious consequences and resistant to embrace available remedies? Why do we persist in denial and indifference? In these essays, Paul Gilk explores the underlying cultural and religious conventions (both "conservative" and "liberal") that constitute our resistance and refusal. To disclose and uncover those conventions, to dissolve our oblivion, is to awaken to apokalypsis and to realize the depth of our captivity within prevailing mythology, both religious and civilizational. If End Times is the disease, apokalypsis is the cure.

Fighting with the Eighteenth Massachusetts
Author: John J. Hennessy
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807125779
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
“You will find me very much changed in everything but outside appearance when I come home,” Corporal Thomas H. Mann (1843–1916) warned his parents toward the end of the Civil War. A native of North Wrentham (now Norfolk), Massachusetts, Mann was a member of Company I of the Eighteenth Massachusetts regiment—part of the heralded Army of the Potomac—and saw action in many of the most pivotal and bloody battles of the war, including Second Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness. In his memoir, written in the late nineteenth century and discovered by his grandsons among family papers a century later, Mann offers a riveting account of his battlefield experiences and paints a vivid portrait of a young man coming of age through a gauntlet of horror and suffering. Mann was highly literate, well read, perceptive, and witty—he was headed for Harvard before the war altered his course—and his memoir is an unusually eloquent account of the impact of war in all its forms. Drawing heavily on his wartime letters and on the recollections of his comrades, Mann colorfully reconstructs his wartime travels and trials from his enlistment to his capture at the Wilderness—the nightmare of the battlefield, the particulars of camp life, southern civilians struggling amidst shortage and destruction, freed slaves flocking to the army by the hundreds. With a keen editorial eye, John J. Hennessy delicately blends Mann’s various writings into a cohesive, captivating narrative. Possessing an acute political and social awareness, Mann reveals himself to be the classic example of a conservative patriot. He rails against many of his government’s policies—including emancipation, confiscation, and war on civilians—but he loves his country and fights desperately to preserve it. He enters the war vigorous, enthusiastic, wide-eyed, and determined and leaves it skeptical and broken down. Nonetheless, he is proud of his participation. Mixing postwar memory and reflection with the immediacy of wartime letters, Fighting with the Eighteenth Massachusetts is a historiographical rarity: memoir interwoven closely with, and supported by, wartime documents. The result is a poignant chronicle of a remarkable young man during America’s most troubled time.

Fighting Identity
Author: Michael Vlahos
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313348464
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
This work highlights a national ethos infused by a sacred narrative of divine mission. This deep association leads to a narrow approach to conflict relationships, built around an Us vs. Them distance from the enemy, in which their submission is achieved through kinetic effects and their subsequent redemption through our good works (reconstruction). Vlahos contends that America's difficult engagement in the Muslim world demonstrates urgently that different operational approaches and tactics (like counterinsurgency) are not enough. Alternative paradigms of strategic engagement are needed, but their very consideration requires deeper cultural rethinking about how we assess world change and other cultures, and how our national ethos makes war. Why are terrorists and insurgents we fight so formidable? Their strength - and our vulnerability - is in identity. Clausewitz knew that geist (spirit) was always stronger than the material: identity is power in war. But how can non-state actors face up to nation states? The answer is in globalization. This is the West's 3rd globalization. Two centuries of intense mixing has torn down old ways of life and created a growing demand for new belonging. There is also a decline in US universalism. America's vision as history's anointed prophet and manager is now competing head-to-head with renewed universal visions. Like Late Antiquity and the High Middle Ages our globalization begins to subside. We may be in the later days of American modernity. We can see this worldwide, as emerging local communities within states and meta-movements find their voice - through conflict and war. Identities struggling for realization are always the most powerful. Add the diffusion of new technology and new practice, and even the poorest and seemingly most primitive group can now make war against those on high. They are successful because of a symbiotic fit between old states and new identities. Increasingly, old societies no longer find identity-celebration in war - while non-state identities embrace the struggle for realization. Hence non-state wars with America become a mythic narrative for them. Our engagement actually helps them realize identity - and we become the midwife. This book offers another path to deal with non-state challenges, one that does not further weaken us.
