The Covenantal Interpretation of the Business Corporation - Kihyoung Shin - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Covenantal Interpretation of the Business Corporation - Kihyoung Shin - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The purpose of this book is to compare and analyse covenantal and contractual models, which are used to arrange and order complex relationships of the business corporation. This book will show that covenant and contract are different concepts for envisioning responsible relationships, and that covenantal interpretation is superior to contractual interpretation. The difference and superiority of the covenantal model comes from its connectional understanding of human nature, the purpose of the business corporation, and moral values. Thus, this book argues that business relationships based upon making a ''covenant'' with others expand reasonability beyond legal contract, and integrate moral commitment and theological vision into the business realm.

Salpuri-Chum, A Korean Dance for Expelling Evil Spirits - Yong Shin Kim - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Salpuri-Chum, A Korean Dance for Expelling Evil Spirits - Yong Shin Kim - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This book is a study of Salpuri-Chum, a traditional Korean dance for expelling evil spirits. The authors explore the origins and practice of Salpuri-Chum. The ancient Korean people viewed their misfortunes as coming from evil spirits; therefore, they wanted to expel the evil spirits to recover their happiness. The music for Salpuri-Chum is called Sinawi rhythm. It has no sheet music and lacks the concept of metronomic technique. In this rhythm, the dancer becomes a conductor.Salpuri-Chum is an artistic performance that resolves the people’s sorrow. In many cases, it is a form of sublimation. It is also an effort to transform the pain of reality into beauty, based on the Korean people’s characteristic merriment. It presents itself, then, as a form of immanence. Moreover, Salpuri-Chum is unique in its use of a piece of white fabric. The fabric, as a symbol of the Korean people’s ego ideal, signifies Salpuri-Chum’s focus as a dance for resolving their misfortunes.

Strange Kindness - Mabel S. Chu Tow - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Strange Kindness - Mabel S. Chu Tow - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

When Mabel (Chu, Cho-Shin) Tow (1914–1999), one of the first Chinese women to practice medicine in China and the United States, shares her story with us, we may experience "the tender gravity of kindness" (the generative transmission of her lineage). That lineage becomes Tow''s blend of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Christianity. Mabel Tow was a boundary-crosser by being a Christian in China and a Chinese woman in America. In this reflective work, eight authors share their unique author-reader relationships with Strange Kindness as they dramatize further how Tow crossed the boundaries of gender, culture, religion, language, tradition, and medical practices. They vividly illustrate Tow''s lineage-in-transmission, moving all into "tikkum olam," the poetic act of repairing the world.
