Resurrecting Parts Early Christians on Desire Reproduction and Sexual Difference

Resurrecting Parts Early Christians on Desire Reproduction and Sexual Difference

During the late second and early third centuries C. E. the resurrection became a central question for intellectual commentary with increasingly tense divisions between those who interpreted the resurrection as a bodily experience and those who did not. The relationship between the resurrected person and their mortal flesh was also a key point of discussion especially in regards to sexual desires body parts and practices. Early Christians struggled to articulate how and why these bodily features related to the imagined resurrected self. The problems posed by the resurrection thus provoked theological analysis of the mortal body sexual desire and gender. Resurrecting Parts is the first study to examine the place of gender and sexuality in early Christian debates on the nature of resurrection investigating how the resurrected body has been interpreted by writers of this period in order to address the nature of sexuality and sexual difference. In particular Petrey considers the instability of early Christian attempts to separate maleness and femaleness. Bodily parts commonly signified sexual difference yet it was widely thought that future resurrected bodies would not experience desire or reproduction. In the absence of sexuality this insistence on difference became difficult to maintain. To achieve a common shared identity and status for the resurrected body that nevertheless preserved sexual difference treatises on the resurrection found it necessary to explain how and in what way these parts would be transformed in the resurrection shedding all associations with sexual desires acts and reproduction. Exploring a range of early Christian sources from the Greek and Latin fathers to the authors of the Nag Hammadi writings Resurrecting Parts is a fascinating resource for scholars interested in gender and sexuality in classical antiquity early Christianity asceticism and of course the resurrection and t | Resurrecting Parts Early Christians on Desire Reproduction and Sexual Difference

Logics and Languages

Logics and Languages

Originally published in 1973 this book shows that methods developed for the semantics of systems of formal logic can be successfully applied to problems about the semantics of natural languages; and moreover that such methods can take account of features of natural language which have often been thought incapable of formal treatment such as vagueness context dependence and metaphorical meaning. Parts 1 and 2 set out a class of formal languages and their semantics. Parts 3 and 4 show that these formal languages are rich enought to be used in the precise description of natural languages. Appendices describe some of the concepts discussed in the text. | Logics and Languages

Investment Analysis An Introduction to Portfolio Theory and Management

Investment Analysis An Introduction to Portfolio Theory and Management

This textbook is designed as a core text for finance courses that cover market investments portfolio formation and the management of investment portfolios. As such the text seeks to convey insight and actual wisdom as to the nature of these activities. When combined with a commitment to thinking independently the text offers the student a rigorous preparation for entry to the funds management industry. The text is presented in three parts. In Part A the text introduces the fundamental techniques of investment analysis: a bottom-up and top-down analysis of the firm aimed at an evaluation of the underlying share as a buy hold or a sell recommendation. Part B offers the reader an intuitive grasp of the nature of investment growth both across time and across assets. Part C introduces the reader to the technicalities of portfolio construction and portfolio management. The text concludes with an assessment of the funds management industry. The text builds in step-by-step stages with Illustrative Examples that consolidate the student’s progress and understanding through each chapter. Each of parts A B and C (above) has sufficient material to justify a separate course. If the student has exposure to a more foundational course in finance Parts A and B can be covered as a single course. If from other courses the student is familiar with the essence of Parts A and B and with statistical concepts the text can be covered as a single course. The text can therefore be presented readily at either an undergraduate or postgraduate level at a pace appropriate to the student’s prior exposure to the concepts. | Investment Analysis An Introduction to Portfolio Theory and Management

Terrorism and Insurgency in Asia A contemporary examination of terrorist and separatist movements

Terrorism and Insurgency in Asia A contemporary examination of terrorist and separatist movements

The rise of the Islamic State since 2014 has led to the re-emergence of terrorism as a serious security threat in Asia. Coupled with the ongoing terrorism and insurgency challenges from both radical religious extremists and also ethno-nationalist insurgencies it is clear that some parts of Asia remain mired in armed rebellion despite decades of nation-building. While the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan has obviously deteriorated there is also a growing terrorist challenge on top of armed insurgencies in other parts of Asia. A common theme in armed rebellions in the region has been the lack of legitimacy of the state and the presence of fundamental causes stemming from political economic or social grievances. Addressing rebellion in the region thus requires a comprehensive approach involving transnational co-operation addressing fundamental grievances and also the use of more innovative approaches such as religious rehabilitation and reconciliation programmes. | Terrorism and Insurgency in Asia A contemporary examination of terrorist and separatist movements
