Selling the Church: The English Parish in Law, Commerce, and Religion, 1350-1550
Author: Robert C. Palmer
File Type: pdf
In the years of expanding state authority following the Black Death, English common law permitted the leasing of parishes by their rectors and vicars, who then pursued interests elsewhere and left the parish in the control of lay lessees. But a series of statutes enacted by Henry VIII between 1529 and 1540 effectively reduced such clerical absenteeism. Robert Palmer examines this transformation of the English parish and argues that it was an important part of the English Reformation. Palmer analyzes an extensive set of data drawn from common law records to reveal a vigorous and effective effort by the laity to enforce the new statutes. Motivated by both economic and traditional ideals, the litigants made the commercial activities of leaseholding and buying for resale and profit the exclusive domain of the laity and acquired the power to regulate the clergy. According to Palmer, these parish-level reformations presaged and complemented other initiatives of the crown that have long been considered central to the reign of Henry VIII.

Owen Hulatt seeks to deepen our understanding of Theodor W. Adornos theory of truth and the nonidentical and his claim that both philosophy and artworks are capable of being true. Hulatt sees Adornos theory of philosophical and aesthetic truth as unified. For Adorno, truth is produced when rhetorical texture combines with cognitive performance, leading to the breakdown of concepts that mediate the experience of the consciousness. Both philosophy and art manifest these features, although philosophy enacts these conceptual issues directly, while art does so obliquely. In Adornos Theory of Philosophical and Aesthetic Truth, Owen Hulatt undertakes an original reading of Theodor W. Adornos epistemology and its material underpinnings, deepening our understanding of his theories of truth, art, and the nonidentical. Hulatts novel interpretation casts Adornos theory of philosophical and aesthetic truth as substantially unified, supporting the thinkers claim that both philosophy and art are capable of being true.For Adorno, truth is produced when rhetorical texture combines with cognitive performance, leading to the breakdown of concepts that mediate the experience of the consciousness. Both philosophy and art manifest these features, although philosophy enacts these conceptual issues directly, while art does so obliquely. Hulatt builds a robust argument for Adornos claim that concepts ineluctably misconstrue their objects. He also puts the still influential thinker into conversation with Hegel, Husserl, Frazer, Sohn-Rethel, Benjamin, Strawson, Dahlhaus, Habermas, and Caillois, among many others.**ReviewA strikingly original reconstruction and defense of Theodor W. Adornos account of truth.(Fabian Freyenhagen, author of Adornos Practical Philosophy Living Less Wrongly) Diligent, precise, honest, and rigorousa superb piece of philosophical scholarship that brings the sophistication of Adorno studies to a new level.(Brian OConnor, University College Dublin) There is no other book that more lucidly and compellingly reconstructs the difficult relationship between epistemology and aesthetics in Adornos work. Although Adorno vigorously dismissed systematicity, the many connections that unite his central concerns are here made manifest in ways that are likely to move the debate over his legacy substantively forward. For anyone interested in the status and fate of art in modernity, this book will be a landmark.(Espen Hammer, author of Adornos Modernism Art, Experience, and Catastrophe) About the Author Owen Hulatt is a teaching fellow in philosophy at the University of York and editor of Aesthetic and Artistic Autonomy (2013).

THE B

Author: Adrienne Brown
File Type: pdf
With the development of the first skyscrapers in the 1880s, urban built environments could expand vertically as well as horizontally. Tall buildings emerged in growing cities to house and manage the large and racially diverse populations of migrants and immigrants flocking to their centers following Reconstruction. Beginning with Chicagos early 10-story towers and concluding with the 1931 erection of the 110-story Empire State Building, Adrienne Browns The Black Skyscraper provides a detailed account of how scale and proximity shape our understanding of race. Over the next half-century, as city skylines grew, American writers imagined the new urban backdrop as an obstacle to racial differentiation. Examining works produced by writers, painters, architects, and laborers who grappled with the early skyscrapers outsized and disorienting dimensions, Brown explores this architectures effects on how race was seen, read, and sensed at the turn of the twentieth century. In lesser-known works of apocalyptic science fiction, light romance, and Jazz Age melodrama, as well as in more canonical works by W. E. B. Du Bois, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Aaron Douglas, and Nella Larsen, the skyscraper mediates the process of seeing and being seen as a racialized subject. From its distancing apexreducing bodies to specksto the shadowy mega-blocks it formed at street level, Brown argues that the skyscraper called attention to the malleable nature of perception. A highly interdisciplinary work, The Black Skyscraper reclaims the influence of race on modern architectural design as well as the less-well-understood effects these designs had on the experience and perception of race. **

The fight against impunity has become a growing concern of the international community. Updated in 2005, the UN Set of Principles for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights Through Action to Combat Impunity is the fruit of several years of study, developed under the aegis of the UN Commission on Human Rights and then affirmed by the Human Rights Council. These Principles are today widely accepted as constituting an authoritative reference point for efforts in the fight against impunity for gross human rights abuses and serious violations of international humanitarian law. As a comprehensive attempt to codify universal accountability norms, the UN Set of Principles marks a significant step forward in the debate on the obligation of states to combat impunity in its various forms. Bringing together leading experts in the field, this volume provides comprehensive academic commentary of the 38 principles. The book is a perfect companion to the document, setting out the text of the Principles alongside detailed analysis, as well as a full introduction and a guide to the relevant literature and case law. The commentary advances debates and clarifies complex legal issues, making it an essential resource for legal academics, students, and practitioners working in fields such as human rights, international criminal law, and transitional justice. **

Centuries after his work as a preacher, philosopher, and spiritual guide, Meister Eckhart remains one of the most widely-read mystics of the Western tradition. Yet as he has come to be studied more closely in recent decades, a number of different Eckharts have emerged. This volume reviews and synthesizes the diverging views of Eckhart that have been presented in recent past. For the first time, Bernard McGinn, the greatest living scholar of Western Christian mysticism, brings together in one volume the fruition of decades of reflection on these questions, offering a view of Eckhart that unites his reflections as preacher, philosopher, and theologian.**ReviewA wonderful book on one of the most original thinkers of medieval Europe. Scholarly and eminently readable. -- Niklaus Largier, UC Berkeley Today no one in America knows Eckhart better than Bernard McGinn. This study is insightful, erudite, yet remarkably accessible. -- Louis Dupre, Riggs Chair (emeritus), Yale UniversityAbout the Author Bernard McGinn is the Naomi Shenstone Donnelley Professor Emeritus of Historical Theology and of the History of Christianity at the Divinity School at the University of Chicago. His many books include Antichrist Two Thousand Years of the Human Fascination with Evil and The Presence of God, a multivolume history of Western Christian mysticism.
