Christ in the Life and Teaching of Gregory of Nazianzus
Author: Andrew Hofer
File Type: pdf
Christ in the Life and Teaching of Gregory of Nazianzus is the first full-length book devoted to an overview of the Christology of this fourth-century Father of the Church. Andrew Hofer examines the breadth of Gregorys corpusorations, letters, and poems (often neglected in doctrinal studies)to argue that Gregorys writing on Christ can be best understood in tandem with his autobiography. This study begins with an articulation of Gregorys theology of the Word in which words come from the Word who became incarnate. Hofer then offers a close reading of how Gregory writes to or about Christ in the poetry known as on himself. Within a three-part study of autobiographical Christology, Hofer explores the philosophical background of Gregorys rhetoric for what he calls the mixtures of Christ and himself. He then elucidates this autobiographical concern in Gregorys famous Ep. 101, a landmark text in the Christological controversies. Thirdly, Hofer considers how Gregory celebrates the mysteries of Christ in the festal orations. Before the books epilogue, a chapter describes how Gregory wrote of Christ for his pastoral ministry. Throughout the work, Hofer demonstrates the importance in Gregorys writings of the language of blending (such as in the Greek word krasis, rejected by the Council of Chalcedon to describe the Incarnation). This book thus offers a unique perspective on the one known as the Theologian in Chalcedons acts and in subsequent Christian tradition.

Sympathy and the State in the Romantic Era explores a fascinating connection between two seemingly unrelated Romantic-era discourses, outlining the extent to which eighteenth and early nineteenth century theories of sympathy were generated by crises of state finance. Through readings of authors such as David Hume, Adam Smith, William Wordsworth, and P.B. Shelley,this volumeestablishes the ways in which crises of state finance encouraged the development of theories of sympathy capable of accounting for both the fact of social systems as well as the modes of emotional communication by means of which such systems bound citizens to one another. Employing a methodology that draws on the systems theory of Niklas Luhmann, Michel Serres, and Giovanni Arrighi, as well as Gilles Deleuzes theories of time and affect, this book argues that eighteenth and early nineteenth century philosophies of sympathy emerged as responses to financial crises. Individual chapters focus on specific texts by David Hume, Adam Smith, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Ann Yearsley, William Wordsworth, and P.B. Shelley, but Mitchell also draws on periodicals, pamphlets, and parliamentary hearings to make the argument that Romantic era theories of sympathy developed new discourses about social systems intended both to explain, as well as contain, the often disruptive effects of state finance and speculation. ReviewOne looks forward to the catalytic effect it should have on scholarship in this area...a rich thought-provoking collection of arguments. -- Hugh Roberts, University of California, IrvineAbout the AuthorRobert Mitchell is Assistant Professor of English at Duke University, USA.

Conceived during her Paris sojourn (19601964) and in Buenos Aires (19701971) near the end of her tragically short life, these poems explore many of Pizarniks deepest obsessions the limitation of language, silence, the body, night, sex, and the nature of intimacy.Drawing from personal life experiences and echoing readings of some of her belovedaccursed French authorsCharles Baudelaire, Germain Nouveau, Arthur Rimbaud, and Antonin Artaudthis collection includes prose poems that Pizarnik would later translate into Spanish.

SCIEN

Author: Oksana Yakushko
File Type: epub
This book argues that the story of the orphan girl Pollyanna (namely, her strategy of playing the glad games to manage loss, abuse, and social prejudice) serves as a framework for critiquing historical forms of Western scientific Pollyannaism. The author examines Pollyannaism as it relates to the sciences, demonstrating how the approach has been used throughout modern Western history to enforce happiness and to criticize negative human emotional states. These efforts, carried out by scientists and popularized as scientific, focus on negating the role of the environment and on promoting varied forms of emotional control. Ultimately, the book emphasizes strategies used to compel individuals into becoming Pollyannas about science itself.

Marriage Rituals Italian Style A Historical Anthropological Perspective on Early Modern Italian Jews is the first comprehensive attempt to present the wealth of primary documents relating to marriage rituals in Jewish Italian communities - responsa, private letters, court protocols, defamating books, love stories, material objects - and place them in historical context. The book traces the chronological course of different phases of marriage (matchmaking, betrothal, the wedding day), and also adopts a thematic perspective. Marriage rituals mirror key issues in local Jewish culture family life, gender, the youth sub-culture, sexuality, the uses of property, and the honor ethos. Jewish marriage rituals in Italy are revealed as surprisingly similar to those of their Catholic neighbors, and undergo similar change process.

When the Romans left Britain around AD 410 the island had not been fully subjugated. In the Celtic fringes the unconquered native peoples were presented with the opportunity to pillage what remained of Roman Britain. By way of response the Post-Roman Britons did their best to defend themselves from attack, and to preserve what they could of the systems left behind by the Romans. The best way to defend their territory was to create fortifications. While some old Roman forts were maintained, the Post-Roman Britons also created new strongholds, or re-occupied some of the long-abandoned hill-forts first built by their ancestors before the coming of the Romans. Packed with photographs, diagrams and full color artwork reconstructions, this book provides a unique examination of the design and development of the fortifications during the Age of Arthur, analyzing their day-to-day use and their effectiveness in battle. It closely describes the locations that are linked to the most famous warlord of the Dark Ages, the legendary Arthur - Tintagel, Cadbury and Camelot. Although these great bastions were to eventually fall, for a few brief decades they succeeded in stemming the tide of invasion and in doing so safeguarding the culture and civilization of Post-Roman Celtic Britain. **

As there has yet to be any substantial scrutiny of the complex confluences a more sustained dialogue between disability studies and comics studies might suggest, Disability in Comic Books and Graphic Narratives aims through its broad range of approaches and focus points to explore this exciting subject in productive and provocative ways.**ReviewFoss (Mary Washington), Gray (CUNY), and Whalen (Mary Washington) offer an ambitious cross-disciplinary collection bringing disability studies theories to bear on the burgeoning genre of graphic literature. The work is useful for several disciplines including disability studies, graphic literature, psychology, and popular culture. Summing Up Recommended. Upper-division Undergraduates through faculty. (M. F. McClure, Choice, Vol. 54 (6), February, 2017)Foss, Gray, and Whalen provide comics scholars, as well as those located in such related fields as childrens literature and visual rhetoric, the opportunity to think critically about key issues in disability studies and their particular representation in hybrid visual-verbal texts. This collection captures the urgency of the intersection of comics and disability, and the absence of non-American comics texts suggests an opportunity for the discussion to continue developing further through various national and cultural perspectives.
