Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age

Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age

Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age focuses on what people say and think about God rather than on arguments about God's existence. It advances a theological method or step-by-step approach to explore and reframe personal convictions about God and the worldviews shaped by those convictions. Since a moral God is more likely to foster a moral life this method integrates an ethical check to ensure that understandings of God and their associated worldviews are validly moral. The proposed method builds on the work of twentieth-century theologian Gordon Kaufman during the Kantian phase of his work. It anticipates a person-like God who hears prayers loves without end and comforts in times of hardship. To accommodate today’s pluralistic and globalized world the ethical check integrated in the method is a widely collaborative and vetted global ethic the Parliament of the World’s Religions Declaration Towards a Global Ethic. This volume of constructive philosophical theology is written for seminary students educators clergy study groups and anyone interested in delving more deeply and systematically into understandings of God whether their own or those of others.

Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

This book examines many facets of transcultural poetics in the English translation of Chinese literature from 12 different expert contributors. Translating Chinese literature into English is a special challenge. There is a pressing need to overcome a slew of obstacles to the understanding and appreciation of Chinese literary works by readers in the English-speaking world. Hitherto only intermittent attempts have been made to theorize and explore the exact role of the translator as a cultural and aesthetic mediator informed by cross-cultural knowledge awareness and sensitivity. Given the complexity of literary translation sophisticated poetics of translation in terms of literary value and aesthetic taste needs to be developed and elaborated more fully from a cross-cultural perspective. It is therefore necessary to examine attempts to reconcile the desire for authentic transmission of Chinese culture with the need for cultural mediation and appropriation in terms of the production and reception of texts subject to the multiplicity of constraints in order to shed new light on the longstanding conundrum of Chinese-English literary translation by addressing Chinese literature in the multiple contexts of nationalism cross-cultural hybridity literary untranslatability the reception of translation and also world literature. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of translation studies Chinese literature and East Asian studies. | Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

Activism and the Detention of Migrants The Law and Politics of Immigration Detention

Activism and the Detention of Migrants The Law and Politics of Immigration Detention

This book is an empirically grounded critical engagement with the politics of immigration detention and deportation. Focusing on the constitutive tensions and political generativity within the activist practices of the anti-detention movement this book examines the distinction between representational and post-representational political sensibilities. Representational politics centres on representing the interests of disenfranchised people to the state and public and operates primarily within the regime of immigration law. Post-representational politics focuses on working collaboratively with those in detention to resist and challenge the deportation system. Since representational politics is the predominant political imaginary of migrant rights campaigning the book focuses on illustrating and evaluating the role of post-representational politics. The book argues that the concept of post-representational politics is important for understanding and participating in radical opposition to state racism. This argument rests on the expanded possibilities it motivates of engaging with and resisting institutions that are poised to co-opt resistance; the attention it fosters to the situated power dynamics of political activities that collaborate with imprisoned people; and its sensitivity to the politically and conceptually generative capacities of everyday embodied practices of resistance. To make this argument this book employs innovative methodology to illuminate and engage with the practice-based thinking of activist movements about the concepts of solidarity hospitality witnessing and accountability. This book will be of interest to scholars and activists with interests in socio-legal studies of immigration and refugee law as well as others in social movement studies critical legal studies border criminology and critical theory. | Activism and the Detention of Migrants The Law and Politics of Immigration Detention

The Uses of Literacy

The Uses of Literacy

This pioneering work examines changes in the life and values of the English working class in response to mass media. First published in 1957 it mapped out a new methodology in cultural studies based around interdisciplinarity and a concern with how texts-in this case mass publications-are stitched into the patterns of lived experience. Mixing personal memoir with social history and cultural critique The Uses of Literacy anticipates recent interest in modes of cultural analysis that refuse to hide the author behind the mask of objective social scientific technique. In its method and in its rich accumulation of the detail of working-class life this volume remains useful and absorbing. Hoggart's analysis achieves much of its power through a careful delineation of the complexities of working-class attitudes and its sensitivity to the physical and environmental facts of working-class life. The people he portrays are neither the sentimentalized victims of a culture of deference nor neo-fascist hooligans. Hoggart sees beyond habits to what habits stand for and sees through statements to what the statements really mean. He thus detects the differing pressures of emotion behind idiomatic phrases and ritualistic observances. Through close observation and an emotional empathy deriving in part from his own working-class background Hoggart defines a fairly homogeneous and representative group of working-class people. Against this background may be seen how the various appeals of mass publications and other artifacts of popular culture connect with traditional and commonly accepted attitudes how they are altering those attitudes and how they are meeting resistance. Hoggart argues that the appeals made by mass publicists-more insistent effective and pervasive than in the past-are moving toward the creation of an undifferentiated mass culture and that the remnants of an authentic urban culture are being destroyed. In his introduction to this new edition Andrew Goodwin professor of broadcast communications arts at San Francisco State University defines Hoggart's place among contending schools of English cultural criticism and points out the prescience of his analysis for developments in England over the past thirty years. He notes as well the fruitful links to be made between Hoggart's method and findings and aspects of popular culture in the United States.

The Man on Horseback The Role of the Military in Politics

The Man on Horseback The Role of the Military in Politics

The role of the military in a society raises a number of issues: How much separation should there be between a civil government and its army? Should the military be totally subordinate to the polity? Or should the armed forces be allowed autonomy in order to provide national security? Recently the dangers of military dictatorships-as have existed in countries like Panama Chile and Argentina-have become evident. However developing countries often lack the administrative ability and societal unity to keep the state functioning in an orderly and economically feasible manner without military intervention. Societies of course have dealt with the realities of these problems throughout their histories and the action they have taken at any particular point in time has depended on numerous factors. In the first world of democratic countries the civil-military relationship has been thoroughly integrated and indeed by most modern standards this is seen as essential. However several influential Western thinkers have developed theories arguing for the separation of the military from any political or social role. Samuel Huntington emphasized that professionalism would presuppose that the military should intervene as little as possible in the political sphere. Samuel E. Finer in contrast emphasizes that a government can be efficient enough way to keep the civil-military relationship in check ensuring that the need for intervention by the armed forces in society would be minimal. At the time of the book's original publication perhaps as a consequence of a post-World War II Cold War atmosphere this was by no means a universally accepted position. Some considered the military to be a legitimate threat to a free society. Today's post-Cold War environment is an appropriate time to reconsider Finer's classic argument. The Man on Horseback continues to be an important contribution to the study of the military's role in the realm of politics and will be of interest to students of political science government and the military. | The Man on Horseback The Role of the Military in Politics
