The New Knighthood: A History of the Order of the Temple
Author: Malcolm Barber
File Type: pdf
The Order of the Temple, founded in 1119 to protect pilgrims around Jerusalem, developed into one of the most influential corporations in the medieval world. It has retained its hold on the modern imagination thanks to the dramatic events of the Templars trial and abolition two hundred years later, and has been invoked in historical mysteries from masonic conspiracy to the survival of the Turin shroud. Malcolm Barbers lucid narrative separates myth from history in this full and detailed account of the Order, from its origins, flourishing and suppression to the Templars historic afterlife.**

Why has religion persisted across the course of human history? Secularists have predicted the end of faith for a long time, but religions continue to attract followers. Meanwhile, scholars of religion have expanded their field to such an extent that we lack a basic framework for making sense of the chaos of religious phenomena. To remedy this state of affairs, Martin Riesebrodt here undertakes a task that is at once simple and monumental to define, understand, and explain religion as a universal concept. Instead of propounding abstract theories, Riesebrodt concentrates on the concrete realities of worship, examining religious holidays, conversion stories, prophetic visions, and life-cycle events. In analyzing these practices, his scope is appropriately broad, taking into consideration traditions in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Daoism, and Shinto. Ultimately, Riesebrodt argues, all religions promise to avert misfortune, help their followers manage crises, and bring both temporary blessings and eternal salvation. And, as The Promise of Salvation makes clear through abundant empirical evidence, religion will not disappear as long as these promises continue to help people cope with life. **

ANGEL
11282
Author: Anna Watz
File Type: epub
In 1972, Angela Carter translated Xaviere Gauthiers ground-breaking feminist critique of the surrealist movement, Surrealisme et sexualite (1971). Although the translation was never published, the project at once confirmed and consolidated Carters previous interest in surrealism, representation, gender and desire and aided her formulation of a new surrealist-feminist aesthetic. Carters sustained engagement with surrealist aesthetics and politics as well as surrealist scholarship aptly demonstrates what is at stake for feminism at the intersection of avant-garde aesthetics and the representation of women and female desire. Drawing on previously unexplored archival material, such as typescripts, journals, and letters, Anna Watzs study is the first to trace the full extent to which Carters writing was influenced by the surrealist movement and its critical heritage. Watzs book is an important contribution to scholarship on Angela Carter as well as to contemporary feminist debates on surrealism, and will appeal to scholars across the fields of contemporary British fiction, feminism, and literary and visual surrealism. **Review Angela Carter and Surrealism offers a tonic to cultural, scholarly and political malaise. Having read and digested this book in detail, I am left feeling that feminism has been vindicated and revived. --Catriona McAra, Leeds College of Art Anna Watz provides a compelling and original account of Angela Carters complex relationship to surrealism. Uncovering new archival material on Carters engagement with Xaviere Gauthiers pathbreaking feminist study of surrealism, and through close readings of the fiction and nonfiction, Warz examines Carters development of a libertarian aesthetic and its important debt to the politics and aesthetics of surrealism. Her book intelligently builds on the field of Carter criticism whilst offering new insights into the debates and critical legacies ignited by the surrealist movement. --Natalya Lusty, The University of Sydney This is a major study of Angela Carters writing and thought, which offers an illuminating cross-section of feminism and avant-garde writing in France and the United Kingdom. Angela Carter and Surrealism works across the lines of contact and contention between the surrealist and Tel Quel movements, between Beauvoir-era feminism and poststructuralist feminism. This is an important study of the second wave of avant-garde activity of the 1960s and 1970s that will be required reading for students and scholars of surrealism, feminism, and British fiction. --Jonathan P. Eburne, The Pennsylvania State University About the Author Anna Watz is Senior Lecturer in English, Linkoping University, Sweden.

Author: Catherine H. Zuckert

Catherine Zuckert examines the work of five key philosophical figures from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries through the lens of their own decidedly postmodern readings of Plato. She argues that Nietzsche, Heidegger, Gadamer, Strauss, and Derrida, convinced that modern rationalism had exhausted its possibilities, all turned to Plato in order to rediscover the original character of philosophy and to reconceive the Western tradition as a whole. Zuckerts artful juxtaposition of these seemingly disparate bodies of thought furnishes a synoptic view, not merely of these individual thinkers, but of the broad postmodern landscape as well. The result is a brilliantly conceived work that offers an innovative perspective on the relation between the Western philosophical tradition and the evolving postmodern enterprise. **From the Back Cover Catherine Zuckert examines the work of five key philosophical figures from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and through the lens of their own distinctive and decidedly postmodern readings of Plato. The result is an ambitious and brilliantly conceived work that offers an innovative perspective both on that tradition and on the postmodern enterprise. About the Author Catherine H. Zuckert is the Nancy R. Dreux Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame. She is the author of Postmodern Platos and a coauthor of The Truth about Leo Strauss, both published by the University of Chicago Press.

Author: Doro Wiese
File Type: pdf
Can literature make it possible to represent histories that are otherwise ineffable? Making use of the Deleuzian concept of the powers of the false, Doro Wiese offers readings of three novels that deal with the Shoah, with colonialism, and with racialized identities. She argues that Jonathan Safran Foers Everything Is Illuminated, Richard Flanagans Goulds Book of Fish, and Richard Powerss The Time of Our Singing are novels in which a space for unvoiced, silent, or silenced difference is created. Seen through the lens of Deleuze and his collaborators philosophy, literature is a means for mediating knowledge and affects about historical events. Going beyond any simple dichotomy between true and untrue accounts of what really happened in the past, literatures powers of the false incite readers to long for a narrative space in which painful or shameful stories can be included. **

File Type: pdf
The Psychic Immune System theorizes the existence of a hidden variable that acts via both unconscious and conscious processes to protect humans individually and collectively from mortal threats. Much like the physical immune system, the psychic immune system scans for danger, protects, heals, and ensures human safety and survival. Kroth argues that it isnt just luck that has enabled people to survive the multitude of epidemics, wars, and environmental disasters that could have resulted in extinction, but rather the work of a complex system that has enabled us to survive. Scrutinizing a variety of past and present threats, Kroth points to traces of a systematic force that has protected humans. Recommended for scholars of psychology, history, and political science.**ReviewIn this masterful and original work, Kroth persuasively presents compelling scientific findings from depth psychology neuroscience cultural, archetypal, and collective psychology quantum physics history and epigenetics to support a hopeful and life-giving message there exists a psychic immune system that is alive and well which functions to ensure our survival and well-being. (Helen Marlo, Notre Dame de Namur University) The Psychic Immune System in its broad and rich analysis of many past and current events has challenged me. Kroth argues persuasively that we are not awash in a sea of chance and evil. (David Frederick, PhD) Numerous scientific surveys have noted the imminent self-destruction of the human species resulting from the ravaging of the environment. The Psychic Immune System provides a glimmer of hope, making the audacious suggestion that there is a self-corrective aspect of the collective psyche that can be compared to the immune system. This psychic immune system has come to humanitys rescue in the past and may well do so again before time runs out. Kroth has made a masterful synthesis of quantum physics, evolutionary biology, and psychology. This book is well-written, well-documented, and well-argued. (Stanley Krippner, Saybrook University) Kroths deep insights and perceptions of the most significant dynamics are uncanny. Nowhere are his gifts more essential than in the growing field of compassion studies. His works contains the seeds for sowing peace in our troubled world. (Bette Kiernan, MFT) The Psychic Immune System offers us all a challenge. If who we are and what we do are merely superficial topics, then why we do what we do may hinge on the operant factors of the psychic immune system. It is well worth a first and second read. (Jerrold Atlas, retired vice president at International University of Altdorf) As a person trained in neuropsychology, I am deeply impressed with The Psychic Immune System. This book is a formidable contribution to our understanding of the human condition. (Octavio Pino, Florida International University) Your perceptions of the unfolding events around you may be changed because of this book.

Author: Dana Greene
File Type: pdf
Elizabeth Jennings was one of the most popular, prolific, and widely anthologized lyric poets in the second half of the twentieth century. This first biography, based on extensive archival research and interviews with Jenningss contemporaries, integrates her life and work and explores the inward war the poet experienced as a result of her gender, religion, and mental fragility. Originally associated with the Movement, Jennings was sui generis, believing poetry was communication and communion. She wrote of nature, friendship, childhood, religion, love, and art, endearing her to a wide audience. Yet lifelong depression, unbearable loneliness, unrelenting fears, poverty, and physical illness plagued her. These were exacerbated by her gender in a male-dominated literary world and an inherited Catholic worldview which initially inculcated guilt and shame. However, a tenacious drive to be a poet made her, the most unconditionally loved writer of her generation. Although her claim was that the poem is not the poet, her life is tracked in her voluminous published and unpublished poetry and prose. The themes of mental illness, the importance of place, the problems associated with being an unmarried woman artist, her relationship with literary mentors and younger poets, her non-feminist feminism, and her marginality and sympathy for the outcast are all explored. It was poetry which saved her it helped her push back darkness and discover order in the midst of chaos. Poetry was her raison detre. It was her life. **
