Dietrich Bonhoeffers Christian Humanism
Author: Jens Zimmermann
File Type: pdf
Jens Zimmermann locates Bonhoeffer within the Christian humanist tradition extending back to patristic theology. He begins by explaining Bonhoeffers own use of the term humanism (and Christian humanism), and considering how his criticism of liberal Protestant theology prevents him from articulating his own theology rhetorically as a Christian humanism. He then provides an in-depth portrayal of Bonhoeffers theological anthropology and establishes that Bonhoeffers Christology and attendant anthropology closely resemble patristic teaching. The volume also considers Bonhoeffers mature anthropology, focusing in particular on the Christian self. It introduces the hermeneutic quality of Bonhoeffers theology as a further important feature of his Christian humanism. In contrast to secular and religious fundamentalisms, Bonhoeffer offers a hermeneutic understanding of truth as participation in the Christ event that makes interpretation central to human knowing. Having established the hermeneutical structure of his theology, and his personalist configuration of reality, Zimmermann outlines Bonhoeffers ethics as Christformation. Building on the hermeneutic theology and participatory ethics of the previous chapters, he then shows how a major part of Bonhoeffers life and theology, namely his dedication to the Bible as Gods word, is also consistent with his Christian humanism.

THE P
136143
Author: Felicia Bonaparte
File Type: pdf
Examining novels written in nineteenth-century England and throughout most of the West, as well as philosophical essays on the conception of fictional form, Felicia Bonaparte sees the novel in this period not as the continuation of eighteenth-century realism, as has commonly been assumed, but as a genre unto itself. Determined to address the crises in religion and philosophy that had shattered the foundations by which the past had been sustained, novelists of the nineteenth century felt they had no real alternative but to make the world anew. Finding in the new ideas of the early German Romantics a theory precisely designed for the remaking of the world, these novelists accepted Friedrich Schlegels challenge to create a form that would render such a remaking possible. They spoke of their theory as poesis, etymologically a making, to distinguish it from the mimesis associated with realism. Its purpose, however, was not only to embody, as George Eliot put it in Middlemarch, the idealistic in the real, giving as faithful an account of the real as observation can yield, but also to embody in that conception of the real a discussion of ideas that are its symbolic signification, as Edward Bulwer-Lytton described it in one of his essays. It was to carry this double meaning that the nineteenth-century novelist created, Bonaparte concludes, the language of mythical symbolism that came to be the norm for this form, and she argues that it is in this doubled language that nineteenth-century fiction must be read. **

Author: Ted Berrigan
File Type: pdf
Following the highly acclaimed Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan, poets Alice Notley, Anselm Berrigan, and Edmund Berrigan have collaborated again on this new selection of poems by one of the most influential and admired poets of his generation. Reflecting a new editorial approach, this volume demonstrates the breadth of Ted Berrigans poetic accomplishments by presenting his most celebrated, interesting, and important work. This major second-wave New York School poet is often identified with his early poems, especially The Sonnets, but this selection encompasses his full poetic output, including the later sequences Easter Monday and A Certain Slant of Sunlight, as well as many of his uncollected poems. The Selected Poems of Ted Berrigan provides a new perspective for those already familiar with his remarkable wit and invention, and introduces new readers to what John Ashbery called the crazy energy of this iconoclastic, funny, brilliant, and highly innovative writer.Praise for The Collected Poems of Ted BerriganThis is a great, great book for all seasons of the mind and heart.Robert CreeleyThanks to this invaluable Collected Poems, one can hear, as never before, Ted Berrigan dreaming his dream.The NationThe Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan is not only one of the most strikingly attractive books recently published, but is also a major work of 20th-century poetry. . . .

Bloomsbury Review Its a must-have, a poetic knockout.Time Out New YorkAbout the AuthorTed Berrigan (19341983) was the author of more than 20 books, including Bean Spasms, with Ron Padgett and Joe Brainard Red Wagon and A Certain Slant of Sunlight.

WHITE
150272
Author: Gregory S. Jay
File Type: pdf
What explains the enduring popularity of white-authored protest fiction about racism in America? How have such books spoken to the racial crises of their time, and why do they remain important in our own era? White Writers, Race Matters explores these questions and the controversies they raise by tracking this tradition in American literary history. Dating back to Uncle Toms Cabin, the genre includes widely-read and taught works such as Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird along with period best-sellers now sometimes forgotten. This history also takes us to Hollywood, which regularly adapted them into blockbusters that spread their cultural influence further as well as incited debates over their politics. These novels strive to move readers emotionally toward ethical transformation and practical action. Their literary forms, styles and plots derive from the cultural work they intend to do in educating the minds and hearts of those who, in James Baldwins words, think they are white--indeed, in making the social construction of that whiteness readable and thus more susceptible to reform. Each chapter provides a case study combining biography, historical analysis, close reading, and literary theory to map the significance of this genre and its ongoing relevance. This tradition remains vital because every generation must relearn the lessons of antiracism and formulate effective cultural narratives for transmitting intellectual and affective tools useful in fighting injustice.

HABIT
76263
Author: Carole G. Rogers
File Type: pdf
A collection of extraordinary oral histories of American nuns, Habits of Change captures the experiences of women whose lives over the past fifty years have been marked by dramatic transformation. Bringing together women from more than forty different religious communities, most of whom entered religious life before Vatican II, the book shows how their lives were suddenly turned around in the 1960s--perhaps more so than any other group of contemporary women. Here these women speak of their active engagement in the events that disrupted their church and society and of the lives they lead today, offering their unique perspective on issues such as peace activism, global equality for women, and the clergy sexual abuse crisis. The interviewees include a Maryknoll missionary who spent decades in Africa, most recently in the Congo an inner-city art teacher whose own paintings reflect the vibrancy of Haiti a recovering alcoholic who at age 71 has embarked on her fourth ministry a life-long nurse, educator, and hospital administrator and an outspoken advocate for the gay and lesbian community. Told with simplicity, honesty, and passion, their stories deserve to be heard.

THE M
132974
Author: Ahmed Samei Huda
File Type: pdf
Many published books that comment on the medical model have been written by doctors, who assume that readers have the same knowledge of medicine, or by those who have attempted to discredit and attack the medical practice. Both types of book have tended to present diagnostic categories in medicine as universally scientifically valid examples of clear-cut diseases easily distinguished from each other and from health with a fixed prognosis and with a well-understood aetiology leading to disease-reversing treatments. These are contrasted with psychiatric diagnoses and treatments, which are described as unclear and inadequate in comparison. The Medical Model in Mental Health An Explanation and Evaluation explores the overlap between the usefulness of diagnostic constructs (which enable prognosis and treatment decisions) and the therapeutic effectiveness of psychiatry compared with general medicine. The book explains the medical model and how it applies in mental health, assuming little knowledge or experience of medicine, and defends psychiatry as a medical practice.

VISIO
148291
Author: Véronique Marion Fóti
File Type: pdf
Although philosophy today has abandoned its former fascination with transcendent invisibles, it has largely unexamined the historical articulations of the divide between the visible and the invisible. Visions Invisibles argues that such a self-examination is necessary for the sensitization of philosophical sight, as well as for engagements with visuality in other domains. To this end, it investigates a range of challenging understandings of visuality in its relation to invisibles, as articulated in the texts of key historical thinkers -- Heraclitus, Plato, and Descartes -- and of twentieth-century philosophers, including Foucault, Merleau-Ponty, Nancy, Derrida, and Heidegger.

THE P
137472
Author: Robert Dawson
File Type: pdf
Many of us have vivid recollections of childhood visits to a public library the unmistakable musty scent, the excitement of checking out a stack of newly discovered books. Today, the more than 17,000 libraries in America also function as de facto community centers offering free access to the internet, job-hunting assistance, or a warm place to take shelter. And yet, across the country, cities large and small are closing public libraries or curtailing their hours of operation. Over the last eighteen years, photographer Robert Dawson has crisscrossed the country documenting hundreds of these endangered institutions. The Public Library presents a wide selection of Dawsons photographs from the majestic reading room at the New York Public Library to Allensworth, Californias one-room Tulare County Free Library built by former slaves. Accompanying Dawsons revealing photographs are essays, letters, and poetry by some of Americas most celebrated writers. A foreword by Bill Moyers and an afterword by Ann Patchett bookend this important survey of a treasured American institution.ReviewA book for anyone with a deep and abiding love of libraries. Dawsons latest project is a powerful argument for the continued relevance of our public libraries as information and community centers, even as libraries adapt to changing technological and budgetary landscapes. - Library Journal This collection of photographs and texts of and about libraries--grand or dead, faded or sumptuous--make up a narrative that combines the public sphere with private memory. Robert Dawsons work is an irrefutable argument for the preservation of public libraries. His book is profound and heartbreakingly beautiful. -- Toni Morrison This beautifully crafted book celebrates public libraries across the U.S. in both color and black and white images captured by photographer Dawson over an 18-year period. Artfully arranged in such chapters as Civic Memory and Identity and Literature and Learning, the book includes a foreword by Bill Moyers and an afterword by Ann Patchett.. Dawson goes beyond the physical structures and touches on how viscerally and nostalgically Americans feel about public libraries, and suggests that, as a culture, we depend on them more than we know. - Publishers Weekly The Public Library is absolutely wonderful in its entirety, at once an ode to the glory of our most democratic institutions and a culturally necessary prompt to defend them like we would defend our freedom to live, learn, and be-a freedom to which the library is our highest celebration. - Brain Pickings For book lovers, library denizens, and fans of architecture or Americana, The Public Library is a delight. - The Christian Science Monitor Dawsons project makes a powerful case for how public libraries serve communities in every corner of the country. - The New Yorkers Page Turner blog About the AuthorRobert Dawsons photographs have been recognized by a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize. He is an instructor of photography at San Jose State University and Stanford University.
