Scriptures, Texts, and Tracings in 2 Corinthians and Philippians - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Scripture, Texts, and Tracings in 2 Corinthians and Philippians advances the interpretation of 2 Corinthians and Philippians by exploring how the Apostle Paul quotes, alludes to, or "echoes" the Jewish Scriptures. Identification of allusions is at the forefront, as are questions about the Torah, God''s righteousness, reconciliation, new creation, new covenant, Christology, lament language, cultic metaphors, canon, rhetoric, and more.

Interpreting Star Wars - Miles (independent Scholar Booy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Interpreting Star Wars - Miles (independent Scholar Booy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Upon its initial release in 1977, many critics regarded Star Wars as a childish retort to the mature American cinema of the seventies. Though full of sound and fury, some felt that it signified nothing. Four decades later, the significations are multiple as interpretations of the film’s strange imagery and metaphoric potential continue to pile up. Interpreting Star Wars analyses and contextualises the dominant trends in Star Wars interpretation from the earliest reviews, through Lucasfilm’s attempts to use its position as copyright holder to promote a single meaning, to the 21st century where the internet has rendered such authorial control impossible and new entries to the canon present new twists on old hopes.

Manic Street Preachers’ The Holy Bible - David Evans - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Manic Street Preachers’ The Holy Bible - David Evans - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In August 1994, Manic Street Preachers released The Holy Bible , a dark, fiercely intelligent album that explored such themes as mental illness, murder and war. Richey Edwards, the band’s lyricist and motive force, vanished five months later; he was never found. In his absence The Holy Bible entered the rock canon alongside Joy Division’s Closer and Nirvana’s In Utero, the valedictory works of troubled young men. This book tells the dramatic story of Manic Street Preachers'' masterpiece. Tracing the album''s origins in the Valleys, an industrialised region of South Wales where the band spent their formative years, the author argues that The Holy Bible can be seen as a meditation on the uses and abuses of history.

Kylie Minogue's Kylie - Dr. Adrian Renzo - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Kylie Minogue's Kylie - Dr. Adrian Renzo - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Kylie Minogue’s self-titled debut album produced hits, controversy and a perfect mainstream storm. The then soap and children’s television star ‘crossed over’ to music with hit writer/producers SAW — and the shamelessly commercial approach of all involved saw the ‘real’ music industry get its back up. This book interrogates the way that commercial pop albums are remembered in both the popular music press and in academic research. Is there a way of dealing with ‘mainstream’ pop without denigrating the music and (just as importantly) without validating it according to the terms of a ‘high art’ canon? This text sheds light on the way that notions of ‘mainstream’ and ‘other’ play out in a local context—specifically, Australia and New Zealand music on a global stage.

Suffering as Participation with Christ in the Pauline Corpus - Wesley Thomas Davey - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Suffering as Participation with Christ in the Pauline Corpus - Wesley Thomas Davey - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Pauline letters bear witness to the prominent role that suffering played both in the life of Paul and in the lives of the communities to whom he writes. Startlingly, Paul does not express alarm or frustration at suffering’s presence, but instead identifies it as an essential and defining feature for faithful Christ-followers. Paul grounds his account of suffering in the concept of “participation with Christ.” This book explores the connection forged between suffering and participation by engaging in close readings of texts, resourcing letters usually dismissed because of doubts about authenticity, and pulling together an overall characterization of “Paul’s thought” on the basis of common patterns of reference that emerge. Utilizing a tripartite reading strategy of “exegesis,” “canon,” and “theology” offers nuance for and yields fresh insight into a central Pauline motif.

Philosophy in Multiple Voices - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Philosophy in Multiple Voices - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Philosophy in Multiple Voices invites transactional dialogue, critical imagination, and the desire to travel to enter those discursive spaces where the love of wisdom gets inflected through both lived embodiment and situational history. The text raises significant meta-philosophical questions around the issue of who constitutes the ''philosophical we'' through a delineation and valorization of multiple philosophical voices-African-American, Afro-Caribbean, Asian-American, Feminist, Latin-American, Lesbian, Native-American and Queer-that set forth complex concerns around canon formation, the relationship between philosophical discursive configurations and issues of gendered, sexed, racial and ethnic identities, the dynamic of shifting philosophical historical trajectories, differential philosophical visions, sensibilities, and philosophical praxes that are still largely underrepresented within the institutional confines of ''mainstream'' philosophy. The text encourages philosophical heterogeneity as a value that ought to be nurtured.

Educating African American Students - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Educating African American Students - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Using a combination of case studies and research, the contributors of this timely book highlight some of the significant issues, historical, curricular, and societal, that have led to African American students having a proportionally larger representation in special education classes, higher drop-put rates, and more incidences of in-school, race-on-race violence. The contributors draw from critical pedagogy, multicultural education, and the Afrocentric canon to critique the American educational system. Educating African American Students examines historical issues that are significant for understanding the current state of affairs for African American education; addresses problems and issues in social studies education, mathematics education, and the overrepresentation of African American males in special education; and poignantly illuminates the necessity for renewed activism by telling the stories of African American children and their schooling experiences.

Wicked Pleasures - Robert C. Solomon - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Wicked Pleasures - Robert C. Solomon - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The seven deadly sins have provided gossip, amusement, and the plots of morality plays for nearly fifteen hundred years. In Wicked Pleasures, well-known philosopher, business ethicist, and admitted sinner Robert C. Solomon brings together a varied group of contributors for a new look at an old catalogue of sins. Solomon introduces the sins as a group, noting their popularity and pervasiveness. From the formation of the canon by Pope Gregory the Great, the seven have survived the sermonizing of the Reformation, the Inquisition, the Enlightenment, the brief French reign of supreme reason, the apotheoses of capitalism, communism, secular humanism and postmodernism, the writings of numerous rabbis and evangelical moralists, two series in the New York Times, and several bad movies. Taking their cue from this remarkable history, the contributors, allowed one sin apiece, provide a non-sermonizing and relatively light-hearted romp through the domain of the deadly seven.

Reading Continental Philosophy and the History of Thought - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book frames the mission of the Continental Philosophy and History of Thought series at Lexington Books.

Reading Continental Philosophy and the History of Thought shows the growing richness of Continental philosophy via unexplored rethinking of the history of thought. The contributors expand Continental philosophy with and through the recovery of important historical developments, figures, and lines of thought.

South African Horror Cinema - Calum Waddell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

South African Horror Cinema - Calum Waddell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This is the first study to explore South Africa both in horror cinema and as a formidable producer of celluloid scares. From framing the notorious apartheid system as a mental asylum in the ground-breaking and criminally underseen Jannie Totsiens (Jans Rautenbach, 1970) to such seventies exploitation shockers as The Demon (Percival Rubens, 1979) through to the blockbuster hit District 9 (Neill Blomkamp, 2009) and beyond, this book suggests that South Africa should finally obtain its rightful place in the canon of wider genre studies and horror cinema fandom.Taking in the 80s nightmares of Darrell Roodt and concluding with an analysis of the recent boom-period in South African fright-films, including discussion of such contemporary efforts as The Tokoloshe (Jerome Pikwane, 2018) and the Troma-esque leanings of Fried Barry (Ryan Kruger, 2020), South African Horror Cinema focuses on ever-changing identities and perspectives, and embraces the frequently carnivalesque and grotesque elements of a most unique lineage in macabre motion pictures.

Germany from the Outside - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Germany from the Outside - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The nation-state is a European invention of the 18th and 19th centuries. In the case of the German nation in particular, this invention was tied closely to the idea of a homogeneous German culture with a strong normative function. As a consequence, histories of German culture and literature often are told from the inside—as the unfolding of a canon of works representing certain core values, with which every person who considers him or herself “German” necessarily must identify. But what happens if we describe German culture and its history from the outside? And as something heterogeneous, shaped by multiple and diverse sources, many of which are not obviously connected to things traditionally considered “German”? Emphasizing current issues of migration, displacement, systemic injustice, and belonging, Germany from the Outside explores new opportunities for understanding and shaping community at a time when many are questioning the ability of cultural practices to effect structural change. Located at the nexus of cultural, political, historiographical, and philosophical discourses, the essays in this volume inform discussions about next directions for German Studies and for the Humanities in a fraught era.

Ida Lupino, Filmmaker - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Ida Lupino, Filmmaker begins with an exploration of biographical studies and analytical treatments of Lupino’s film and television work as director, moving forward to assess Lupino’s career in film and television with particular attention given to Lupino’s singular, pioneering achievements and her role(s) within the cultural milieu(s) of her time, particularly the representation of women in cinema. Each chapter includes a close analysis of the film or television work with insights drawn from film history and cultural/gender studies to demonstrate that Lupino was a significant directorial figure in the development of film, especially in the late 1940s and early 1950s—and in television extending well into the 1960s. Lupino left her imprint on filmmaking and her canon of film and television work continue to influence Hollywood movie making.The contributors to this volume assess Lupino’s main strengths as a filmmaker—her treatment of narrative movement, plotting, dialogue, gender roles, and uses of tradition representations of men and women in frames of parody and satire. The book collectively examines the successes (and failures) of Lupino’s directorial career, including focusing on the reasons why she initially proved to be so strategic to the progress of women behind the camera.

New Directions in Print Culture Studies - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

New Directions in Print Culture Studies features new methods and approaches to cultural and literary history that draw on periodicals, print culture, and material culture, thus revising and rewriting what we think we know about the aesthetic, cultural, and social history of transnational America. The unifying questions posed and answered in this book are methodological: How can we make material, archival objects meaningful? How can we engage and contest dominant conceptions of aesthetic, historical, and literary periods? How can we present archival material in ways that make it accessible to other scholars and students? What theoretical commitments does a focus on material objects entail? New Directions in Print Culture Studies brings together leading scholars to address the methodological, historical, and theoretical commitments that emerge from studying how periodicals, books, images, and ideas circulated from the 19th century to the present. Reaching beyond national boundaries, the essays in this book focus on the different materials and archives we can use to rewrite literary history in ways that highlight not a canon of “major” literary works, but instead the networks, dialogues, and tensions that define print cultures in various moments and movements.

Goldie’s Timeless - Martyn Deykers - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Goldie’s Timeless - Martyn Deykers - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

It’s 1994, and the London drum ‘n bass scene is evolving at an exciting, breakneck pace. The record that brought it all to light was Goldie’s Timeless. Deykers describes how the album came to be: a short description of the sparkling drum ‘n bass scene of the time, and Goldie’s unlikely personal journey as a graffiti writer turned music wunderkind. It digs deeper into the music itself, analyzing several of the key tracks, uncovering highly autobiographical lyrical content but also looking at plenty of interesting sonic ideas that reference Goldie’s previous music and that of his peers, hip hop, graffiti culture and movies. From the beautifully epic radio hit “Innercity Life” to the darker, grimier textures of “Jah the Seventh Seal”, the album covers a wide array of emotions and musical ideas. Goldie recently revived some of the music for an orchestra tour, keeping the music alive and well to this day. Finally the book explores the global impact of this album and its place in the canon of UK dance music alongside artists such as Massive Attack, Tricky, Roni Size, The Orb and Portishead.

Heiner Muller and Heiner Goebbels’s Wolokolamsker Chaussee - Prof Philip V. Bohlman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

By gathering historical and musical fragments from a Europe torn apart by the Second World War and the Cold War, East German playwright Heiner Müller and West German composer Heiner Goebbels created Wolokolamsker Chaussee as a musical panorama that stretched across modern European history at a moment of international crisis. The question at the heart of the recording was prescient in the waning years of the Cold War, but it remains no less critical for the “crisis of Europe” today: Is it possible for Europe to be unified? A vast range of musical styles—from folk song to hip-hop, from the symphonic canon to heavy metal—coalesce in the five acts, which expose the wounds of European history while struggling musically to heal them. This extraordinary recording from 1989/90 not only captures the sound of a historical moment, but also powerfully enacts responses to it. 33 1/3 Global , a series related to but independent from 33 1/3 , takes the format of the original series of short, music-based books and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese, Brazilian, and European music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of Australia/Oceania, Africa, the Middle East, and more.

Paul Auster's Writing Machine - Evija Trofimova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Paul Auster's Writing Machine - Evija Trofimova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Paul Auster is one of the most acclaimed figures in American literature. Known primarily as a novelist, Auster’s films and various collaborations are now gaining more recognition. Evija Trofimova offers a radically different approach to the author’s wider body of work, unpacking the fascinating web of relationships between his texts and presenting Auster’s canon as a rhizomatic facto-fictional network produced by a set of writing tools. Exploring Auster’s literal and figurative use of these tools – the typewriter , the cigarette , the doppelgänger figure, the city – Evija Trofimova discovers Auster’s “writing machine”, a device that works both as a means to write and as a construct that manifests the emblematic writer-figure. This is a book about assembling texts and textual networks, the writing machines that produce them, and the ways such machines invest them with meaning. Embarking on a scholarly quest that takes her from between the lines of Auster’s work to between the streets of his beloved New York and finally to the man himself, Paul Auster’s Writing Machine becomes not just a critical investigation but a critical collaboration, raising important questions about the ultimate meaning of Auster''s work, and about the relationship between texts, their authors, their readers and their critics.
