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.

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán engages with how best to look upon and respond to change arguing that this debate is an important arena for negotiating local belonging and a force of transformation in its own right. For residents of Chunchucmil a historic rural community in Yucatán Mexico history is anything but straightforward. Living in what is both a defunct 19th-century hacienda estate and a vibrant Catholic pilgrimage site Chunchucmileños reckon past present and future in radically different ways. For example while some use the aging estate buildings to weave a history of economic decline and push for revitalization by hotel developers others highlight the growing fame of the Virgin of the Rosary in the attached church and vow to defend the site from developer interference. By exploring how past and future are channeled through changing built environments landscapes sacred relics and legal documents this ethnographic study details how the politics of change provide Chunchucmileños with a common language for debating commitments to place and each another in the present. Against Western notions of ‘History’ as a relatively coherent account of change the book suggests we reframe it as an ongoing performance that is always fractured democratic and morally tinged. | Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

The Trajectory of Holocaust Memory The Crisis of Testimony in Theory and Practice

The Trajectory of Holocaust Memory: The Crisis of Testimony in Theory and Practice re-considers survivor testimony moving from a subject-object reading of the past to a subject-subject encounter in the present. It explores how testimony evolves in relationship to the life of eyewitnesses across time. This book breaks new ground based on three principles. The first draws on Martin Buber’s “I-Thou” concept transforming the object of history into an encounter between subjects. The second employs the Jungian concept of identity whereby the individual (internal identity) and the persona (external identity) reframe testimony as an extension of the individual. They are a living subject rather than merely a persona or narrative. The third principle draws on Daniel Kahneman’s concept of the experiencing self which relives events as they occurred and the remembering self which reflects on their meaning in sum. Taken together these principles comprise a new literacy of testimony that enables the surviving victim and the listener to enter a relationship of trust. Designed for readers of Holocaust history and literature this book defines the modalities of memory witness and testimony. It shows how encountering the individual who lived through the past changes how testimony is understood and therefore what it can come to mean. | The Trajectory of Holocaust Memory The Crisis of Testimony in Theory and Practice

Documenting the Visual Arts

Bringing together an international range of scholars as well as filmmakers and curators this book explores the rich variety in form and content of the contemporary art documentary. Since their emergence in the late 1940s as a distinct genre documentaries about the visual arts have made significant contributions to art education public television and documentary filmmaking yet they have received little scholarly attention from either art history or film studies. Documenting the Visual Arts brings that attention to the fore. Whether considering documentaries about painting sculpture photography performance art site-specific installation or fashion the chapters of this book engage with the key question of intermediality: how film can reframe other visual arts through its specific audio-visual qualities in order to generate new ways of understanding those arts. The essays illuminate furthermore how art documentaries raise some of the most critical issues of the contemporary global art world specifically the discourse of the artist the dynamics of documentation and the visuality of the museum. Contributors discuss documentaries by filmmakers such as Frederick Wiseman Lynn Hershman Leeson Jia Zhangke and Trisha Ziff and about artists such as Michael Heizer Ai Weiwei Do Ho Suh and Marina Abramović. This collection of new international and interdisciplinary scholarship on visual art documentaries is ideal for students and scholars of visual arts and filmmaking as well as art history arts education and media studies.

Neo-Aristotelian Metaphysics and the Theology of Nature

This book explores the relationship between a scientifically updated Aristotelian philosophy of nature and a scientifically engaged theology of nature. It features original contributions by some of the best scholars engaging with Aristotelianism in contemporary metaphysics philosophy of science and philosophical theology.

Ethical Transformations for a Sustainable Future Peace and Policy

It has become increasingly apparent that humanity's complex social political and economic systems are incompatible with the finite capacity of the Earth to replenish resources and absorb wastes. If the planet is to continue to be habitable for the myriad web of other creatures that make life possible humans must transform their systems so that they are aligned with natural systems. One thing is sure it will not be Nature's laws the delicate interdependence that characterizes Earth's ecosystems that change. The change must begin within each person and from there permeate throughout our social political and economic structures. The contributors to this volume believe that such transformations are urgently needed and possible and they offer specific examples. They suggest solutions that call for new perspectives in our ethics beliefs traditions economy business gender relations education and technology. They show that human beings have the power to implement changes in all natural and social environments. The chapters in this book have been organized around three keywords: Reconnecting Reframing and Rethinking. The contributors argue that we need to reconnect with the Earth and nature as well as with each other and parts of ourselves that we have ignored for too long. We need to reframe the way in which people prioritize choices in the economy the way we do business and pursue development; and we need to rethink the mission of education and the roles of technology. | Ethical Transformations for a Sustainable Future Peace and Policy

Jung's Shadow Concept The Hidden Light and Darkness within Ourselves

This insightful volume is designed as a series of invitations towards living attentiveness examining how we all make the “other” through “projection” (blaming and shaming the other outside ourselves) our enemy with whom we prefer not to dialogue. All of us are faced daily with individual and collective manifestations of the Shadow – all that we fear despise and makes us feel ashamed. Carl Jung’s concept of the Shadow emerging as it did from his personal confrontation with the realms of his unconscious self is one of the most important contributions he made to the understanding of humanity and to depth psychology that realm where the focus is on unconscious processes. The contributors to this book reframe his concept in the context of contemporary Jungian thinking exploring how the Shadow develops in an individual’s infancy and adolescence and its culmination where collective manifestations of the Shadow are addressed. The book offers a voyage through a series of fundamental Shadow concepts and themes including couples relationships disease organizations Evil fundamentalism ecology and boundary violation before ending with a chapter designed to help us integrate the Shadow and hold contra-positions with patience and a tilt towards mutual understanding rather than being locked in polarities. This fascinating new book will be of considerable interest to the general public Jungian analysts trainees scholars and therapists both in training and practice with an interest in the inner world. | Jung's Shadow Concept The Hidden Light and Darkness within Ourselves

Maximum Government Maximum Governance Reframing India’s Macroeconomic Discourse

Austerity fiscal consolidation fiscal discipline and fiscal deficit targets have become the buzzwords of contemporary macroeconomic policy. By tracing the history of macroeconomic schools of thought Maximum Government Maximum Governance explores the origins essence shortcomings and deception of mainstream neoliberal macroeconomics. Arguing that economies are financially constrained neoliberal macroeconomics dislodged full employment as the target of policy replacing it with a low and stable inflation target. Monetary policy under the control of an independent central bank became the primary instrument to assist free and globalized markets to propel economies towards full employment. However the global financial crisis of 2008 and rising inequalities of income and wealth in the last decade within and across economies has led to rise of nationalist-populist leaders in many parts of the world. Although neoliberal economics has been put under the scanner by these leaders their actions seem reactionary and without a coherent understanding of alternative schools of economic thought. An alternative based on sound economic reasoning and institutional realities is required to challenge neoliberal and arbitrary populist policies. Based on an introductory analysis of Modern Money Theory (MMT) this book seeks to present an alternative viewpoint on macroeconomics and macroeconomic policy to address the challenges of economic growth unemployment and inequality. While adherents of MMT are convinced of its robustness the challenge is to reframe macroeconomic discourse which must essentially reject the notion that an economy is financially constrained and instead turn the spotlight on real resource and governance constraints.

Rethinking Diversity Frameworks in Higher Education

With the goal of building more inclusive working learning and living environments in higher education this book seeks to reframe understandings of forms of everyday exclusion that affect members of nondominant groups on predominantly white college campuses. The book contextualizes the need for a more robust analysis of persistent patterns of campus inequality by addressing key trends that have reshaped the landscape for diversity including rapid demographic change reduced public spending on higher education and a polarized political climate. Specifically it offers a critique of contemporary analytical ideas such as micro-aggressions and implicit and unconscious bias and underscores the impact of consequential discriminatory events (or macro-aggressions) and racial and gender-based inequalities (macro-inequities) on members of nondominant groups. The authors draw extensively upon interview studies and qualitative research findings to illustrate the reproduction of social inequality through behavioral and process-based outcomes in the higher education environment. They identify a more powerful systemic framework and conceptual vocabulary that can be used for meaningful change. In addition the book highlights coping and resistance strategies that have regularly enabled members of nondominant groups to address deflect and counteract everyday forms of exclusion. The book offers concrete approaches concepts and tools that will enable higher education leaders to identify address and counteract persistent structural and behavioral barriers to inclusion. As such it shares a series of practical recommendations that will assist presidents provosts executive officers boards of trustees faculty administrators diversity officers human resource leaders diversity taskforces and researchers as they seek to implement comprehensive strategies that result in sustained diversity change. | Rethinking Diversity Frameworks in Higher Education

The Politics of Food Provisioning in Colombia Agrarian Movements and Negotiations with the State

This book explores food provisioning in Colombia by examining the role and impact of the agrarian negotiations which took place in the aftermath of the 2013–2014 national strikes. Most of the research in the field of agrarian studies in Colombia has focused on inequalities in land distribution the impacts of violent conflict and most recently the first phase of the peace agreement implementation. This book links and complements these literatures by critically engaging with an original framework that uncovers the conflicts and politics of food provisioning: who produces what and where and with what socio-economic effects. This analytical lens is used to explain the re-emergence of national agrarian movements their contestation of the dominant development narratives and their engagement in discussions about food sovereignty with the state. The analysis incorporates a wide range of voices from high-level government representatives and leaders from national agrarian movements. Their narratives of food provisioning and the broader role of the food industry are reviewed and the key findings show an underlying conflict within food provisioning based on the struggle of marginalised smallholders to develop alternative agri-food systems that can be included in the local and domestic food markets in the context of a state dominated by an export and import approach. Overall the book argues that the battle ground of agrarian conflicts has moved to the fi eld of food provisioning and using this approach has the potential to reframe the debate about the future of food and agriculture in Colombia and beyond. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food and agriculture rural development peasant studies and Latin American Studies. | The Politics of Food Provisioning in Colombia Agrarian Movements and Negotiations with the State

Current Critical Debates in the Field of Transsexual Studies In Transition

Current Critical Debates in the Field of Transsexual Studies introduces new thinking on non-conforming gender representation addressing transsexuality as a subjective experience that highlights universal dilemmas related to how we conceive identity and exploring universal questions related to gender: its objects objections and obstacles. This book seeks to disassemble prejudicial orientations to the challenges and the everydayness of transsexuality and build new understanding and responses to issues including: medical biases the problem of authenticity and the agency of the child. Oren Gozlen leads an examination of three central pressures: transformation of a medical model the social experience of becoming transgender and the question of self-representation through popular culture. The chapters reframe several contemporary dilemmas such as: authenticity pathology normativity creativity the place of the clinic as a problem of authority the unpredictability of sexuality the struggle with limits of knowledge a demand for intelligibility and desire for certainty. The contributors consider sociocultural theoretical therapeutic and legal approaches to transsexuality that reveal its inherent instability and fluidity both as concept and as experience. They place transsexuality in tension and transition as a concept as a subject position and as a subjectivity. The book also reflects the way in which political and cultural change affects self and other representations of the transsexual person and their others asking: how does the subject metabolize the anxieties that relate to these transformations and facilitations? How can the subject respond in contexts of hostility and prohibition? Offering a much-needed interdisciplinary exploration Current Critical Debates in the Field of Transsexual Studies will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychotherapist as well as psychologists and scholars of gender studies cultural studies and sociology. | Current Critical Debates in the Field of Transsexual Studies In Transition
