Nuns are known from history, but this book considers Cork University Press their archaeology and upstanding architecture through perspectives such as gender and landscape. It discusses the archaeological remains associated with female monasticism in Ireland as it is Cork University currently understood and offers insights into how these religious communities might have lived and Press interacted with their local communities. It briefly includes female religious of the early medieval HISTORY period, other female religious, such as anchorites, while providing a wider European monastic context. While some nunneries used what is considered a typical monastic layout?of a church and Distributor: UTP other buildings arranged around a central area?this research has found that in many cases a Distribution nunnery was a small church with attached accommodation, or a separate dwelling; particularly when nuns lived in towns. Medieval women became nuns for various reasons and followed a daily routine called the divine office, with occasions, like saints? feast days, celebrated in special ways. It is sometimes suggested that all nuns were locked away, but history and archaeology show that they had many connections with the world outside. Nunneries had to maintain these ties in order to function and stay relevant, so the local community and benefactors would continue to support the nunnery as their church, and for some, their place of burial.

5 9781782054580 Transitional Playwrights in Irish by Philip O'Leary English Oct 01, 2021 Hardcover $60.95 CAD 6.09 x 9.3 in | 1 gr There was no native tradition of theatre in Irish. Thus, language revivalists were forced to develop the 296 pages genre ex nihilo if there was to be a Gaelic drama that was not entirely made up of translations. The earliest efforts to do so at the beginning of the 20th century were predictably clumsy at best, and Cork University Press truly dreadful at worst. Yet by the 1950s, a handful of Gaelic playwrights were producing plays in Irish worthy of comparison not only with those by their Irish contemporaries working in English but also Cork University with drama being produced elsewhere in Europe as well as in North America. Obviously, Gaelic Press drama transitioned with surprising speed from what one early critic called ?the Ralph Royster DRAMA Doyster Stage? to this new level of sophistication. This book argues that this transition was facilitated by the achievements of a handful of playwrights ? Piaras Béaslaí, Gearóid Ó Lochlainn, Leon Ó Broin, Distributor: UTP Séamus de Bhilmot, and Walter Macken - who between 1910 and 1950 wrote worthwhile new plays Distribution that dealt with subjects and themes of contemporary interest to Irish-speaking audiences, in the process challenging their fellow dramatists, introducing Gaelic actors to new developments and styles in world theatre, and educating Gaelic audiences to demand more from theatre in Irish than a night out or a chance to demonstrate their loyalty to the revivalist cause. This book, which discusses in some detail all of the extant plays by these five transitional playwrights, fills a gap in our knowledge of theatre in Irish (and indeed of theatre in Ireland in general), in the process providing clearer context for the appreciation of the work of their successors, playwrights who continue to produce first-rate work in Irish right to the present day.

But, why not? They have been part of the Irish climate and have tracked across the land for hundreds of years. Indeed, during the last Cork University Press three decades they have visited every county in Ireland. This book traces how for centuries there was not the vocabulary to record them in a way we would recognise them today. In retrieving these Cork University records new insights emerge into both the written historical record and phrases used in our Press contemporary accounts. It introduces those conditions in Ireland favourable for tornadoes and SCIENCE waterspouts. Being localised phenomena they are ill suited for capture by the meteorological network, which was designed for quite different purposes. Instead, building a database for recent Distributor: UTP years has been achieved from reports by numerous weather enthusiasts, followed by site Distribution investigations to confirm and characterise them. Many such case studies are presented from all over Ireland. Today, increasing attention is being placed upon severe weather events and their impacts. A chronology for recent decades shows that tornadoes in Ireland occur every year and may occur in any season, but no one year is typical. In addition, the vulnerability of people, built structures and aspects of the environment are explored. Potentially, they are vulnerable at any time of year and anywhere in Ireland.Finally, international comparisons show that the experience in Ireland is not so dissimilar to elsewhere. In particular, comparisons are made with data for the USA and the rest of Europe.

As Professor of Early (including Mediaeval) History at University College Cork University Press Dublin was also one of the foremost Irish historians of his generation. As a professor, a politician, and the leader of a paramilitary organisation, MacNeill fused scholarship and activism into a complex life Cork University that both followed and led the course of Irish independence from gestation to maturation. MacNeill Press is arguably best known as the man who tried to stop the 1916 Rising. However, as this book shows, HISTORY as a newspaper editor, a language teacher, a historian, a paramilitary leader, a parliamentarian, a convict, and a cabinet minister, he crafted both the ideas and institutions of his own time while Distributor: UTP revising scholarly understandings of the society and institutions of medieval Ireland through his Distribution teaching and writings. MacNeill was also a political theorist and even a propagandist who moulded the Irish-Ireland and Sinn Féin movements through his writings and his oratory. A supporter of the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the Free State?s first minister for education, MacNeill lost his son Brian who was killed fighting on the anti-Treaty side of Ireland?s Civil War. After independence, MacNeill was centrally involved in the attempt to redraw the Irish border in his role as the Free State?s representative on the Irish Boundary Commission. Its collapse took MacNeill?s political career down with it and he reverted to his passion for scholarship, drafted his memoirs, founded the Irish Manuscripts Commission, and delivered a landmark lecture tour in the United States. While he received adulation as a scholar in his last years, his contribution to politics and state formation was variously marginalised and maligned, a pattern that persisted in the decades after his death. This collection confronts the complexities and apparent contradictions of MacNeill?s life, work, and ideas. It explores the ways in which MacNeill?s activities and interests overlapped, his contribution to the Irish language and to Irish history, his evolving political outlook, and the contribution he made to the shaping of modern Ireland.

Maldonado charts the rise and fall of the HISTORY Puerto Rican economy and explains how a litany of bad political and fiscal policy decisions in Washington and Puerto Rico destroyed an economic miracle. Distributor: UTP Distribution Under Operation Bootstrap in the 1950s and '60s, the rapid transformation and industrialization of the Puerto Rican economy was considered a ?wonder of human history,? a far cry from the economic ?death spiral? the island?s governor described in 2016. Boom and Bust in Puerto Rico is the story of how the demise of an obscure tax policy that encouraged investment and economic growth led to escalating budget deficits and the government?s shocking default of its $70 billion debt. Maldonado also discusses the extent of the devastation from Hurricane Maria in 2017, the massive street protests during 2019, and the catastrophic earthquakes in January 2020.
After illuminating the century of misunderstanding between Puerto Rico and the United States?the root cause of the economic crisis and the island?s gridlocked debates about its political status? Maldonado concludes with projections about the future of the relationship. He argues that, in the end, the economic, fiscal, and political crises are the result of the breakdown and failure of Puerto Rican self-government.

University of Notre Dame Press In The Rights of Women, Erika Bachiochi explores the development of feminist thought in the United States.

Distribution Bachiochi proposes a philosophical and legal framework for rights that stems from political theory, women?s studies, and constitutional law and builds on the communitarian tradition of feminist thought as seen in the work of Elizabeth Fox-Genovese and Jean Bethke Elshtain. Drawing on the insight of prominent figures such as Sarah Grimké, Frances Willard, Florence Kelley, Betty Friedan, Pauli Murray, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Mary Ann Glendon, this book is unique in its treatment of the moral roots of women?s rights in America and its critique of the movement?s current trajectory. In addition to exploring how Glendon?s dignitarian vision is particularly reminiscent of Wollstonecraft?s, Bachiochi offers a crucial corrective to the irreconcilable tensions that exist in Justice Ginsburg?s deeply influential autonomy-focused approach.
This smart and sophisticated application of Wollstonecraft?s thought will serve as a guide for how we might better value the culturally essential work of the home and thereby promote authentic personal and political freedom.

Notre Dame Press University of Is there any connection linking some of the maladies of modern life??cancel culture,? the climate of Notre Dame Press mendacity in public and academic life, fierce conflicts over the Constitution, disputes over presidential authority? Fiction, Lies, and the Authority of Law argues that these diverse problems are LAW all a consequence of what Hannah Arendt described as the disappearance of authority in the Distributor: UTP modern world. In this perceptive study, Steven D. Smith offers a diagnosis explaining how authority Distribution today is based in pervasive fictions and how this situation can amount to, as Arendt put it, ?the loss of the groundwork of the world.?
Fictions, Lies, and the Authority of Law considers a variety of problems posed by the paradoxical ubiquity and absence of authority in the modern world. Some of these problems are jurisprudential or philosophical in character; others are more practical and lawyerly?problems of presidential powers and statutory and constitutional interpretation; still others might be called existential. Smith? s use of fictions as his purchase for thinking about authority has the potential to bring together the descriptive and the normative and to think about authority as a useful hypothesis that helps us to make sense of the empirical world. This strikingly original book shows that theoretical issues of authority have important practical implications for the kinds of everyday issues confronted by judges, lawyers, and other members of society. The book is aimed at scholars and students of law, political science, and philosophy, but many of the topics it addresses will be of interest to politically engaged citizens.

University of Notre Dame Press Most of the scholarly literature on sin has focused on theological issues, making book-length University of philosophical treatments of the topic hard to find. Sin, the newest contribution by Gregory Mellema, Notre Dame Press fills the gap by providing a short and lively summary of what contemporary philosophers are saying RELIGION about the relationship between the traditional theological category of sin and contemporary philosophical ethics. Mellema brings together contributions by a number of philosophers, including Distributor: UTP Marilyn Adams, Robert Adams, Rebecca DeYoung, Alvin Plantinga, Michael Rea, Eleonore Stump, and Distribution Richard Swinburne, into a coherent discussion that clarifies our understanding of the nature of sin. The topics covered include the doctrine of original sin, accessory sins, mortal (or cardinal) sins, and venial sins. Mellema also examines Islamic codes of ethics, which include a category of acts that are ? discouraged,? some of which qualify as sins, and the final chapter surveys the teachings of six major world religions concerning sin. The overarching link between the chapters is that sin is fundamentally connected to the subject matter of morality. Analyzing the points of connection is profitable not just to enhance our theoretical understanding of sin but to provide a greater depth of knowledge as to how the moral choices we make can more effectively help us avoid sin and contribute to lives that are satisfying and authentically worthwhile. This concise introduction to sin and moral wrongdoing will have a wide readership and is intended for use in introductory level philosophy, philosophy of religion, or theological ethics courses.

Starting with a taxonomy of Thomas Aquinas, according to whom University of there are nine ways for one to become complicit in the wrongdoing of another, Mellema analyzes Notre Dame Press each kind of complicity and examines the moral status of someone complicit in each of these ways. University of Mellema?s central argument is that one must perform a contributing action to qualify as an Notre Dame Press accomplice, and that it is always morally blameworthy to perform such an action. Additionally, he argues that an accomplice frequently bears moral responsibility for the outcome of the other?s RELIGION wrongdoing, but he distinguishes this case from cases in which the accomplice is tainted by the Distributor: UTP wrongdoing of the principal actor. He further distinguishes between enabling, facilitating, and Distribution condoning harm, and introduces the concept of indirect complicity. Mellema tackles issues that are clearly important to any case of collective and shared responsibility, yet rarely discussed in depth, always presenting his arguments clearly, concisely, and engagingly. His account of the nonmoral as well as moral qualities of complicity in wrongdoing?especially of the many and varied ways in which principles and accomplices can interact?is highly illuminating. Liberally sprinkled with helpful and nuanced examples, Complicity and Moral Accountability vividly illustrates the many ways in which one may be complicit in wrongdoing.

Notre Dame Press University of For many years, William Desmond has been patiently constructing a philosophical project?replete Notre Dame Press with its own terminology, idiom, grammar, dialectic, and its metaxological transformation?in an RELIGION attempt to reopen certain boundaries: between metaphysics and phenomenology, between philosophy of religion and philosophical theology, between the apocalyptic and the speculative, and Distributor: UTP between religious passion and systematic reasoning. In Godsends, Desmond?s newest addition to Distribution his ambitious masterwork, he presents an original reflection on what he calls the ?companioning? of philosophy and religion. Throughout the book, he follows an itinerary that has something of an Augustinian likeness: from the exterior to the interior, from the inferior to the superior. The stations along the way include: a grappling with the default atheism prevalent in contemporary intellectual culture; an exploration of the middle space, the metaxu between the finite and the infinite; a dwelling with solitudes as thresholds between selving and the sacred; a meditation on idiot wisdom and transcendence in an East-West perspective; an exploration of the different stresses in the mysticisms of Aurobindo and the Arnhem Sermons; dream monologue of autonomy, a suite of Kantian and post-Kantian variations on the story of the prodigal son; a meditation on the beatitudes as exceeding virtue, in light of Aquinas?s understanding; culminating in an exploration of Godsends as telling us something significant about the surprise of revelation, in word, idea, and story. Godsends is written for thoughtful persons and scholars perplexed about the place of religion in our time and hopeful for some illuminating companionship from relevant philosophers. It will also interest students of philosophy and religion, especially philosophical theology and philosophical metaphysics.

University of Notre Dame Press What is medicine and what is it for? What does it mean to be a good doctor? Answers to these MEDICAL questions are essential both to the practice of medicine and to understanding the moral norms that Distributor: UTP shape that practice. The Way of Medicine articulates and defends an account of medicine and Distribution medical ethics meant to challenge the reigning provider of services model, in which clinicians eschew any claim to know what is good for a patient and instead offer an array of ?health care services? for the sake of the patient?s subjective well-being. Against this trend, Farr Curlin and Christopher Tollefsen call for practitioners to recover what they call the Way of Medicine, which offers physicians both a path out of the provider of services model and also the moral resources necessary to resist the various political, institutional, and cultural forces that constantly push practitioners and patients into thinking of their relationship in terms of economic exchange.
Curlin and Tollefsen offer an accessible account of the ancient ethical tradition from which contemporary medicine and bioethics has departed. Their investigation, drawing on the scholarship of Leon Kass, Alasdair MacIntyre, and John Finnis, leads them to explore the nature of medicine as a practice, health as the end of medicine, the doctor-patient relationship, the rule of double effect in medical practice, and a number of clinical ethical issues from the beginning of life to its end. In the final chapter, the authors take up debates about conscience in medicine, arguing that rather than pretending to not know what is good for patients, physicians should contend conscientiously for the patient?s health and, in so doing, contend conscientiously for good medicine. The Way of Medicine is an intellectually serious yet accessible exploration of medical practice written for medical students, health care professionals, and students and scholars of bioethics and medical ethics.

University of Notre Dame Press Aquinas holds that all the virtues are bestowed on humans by God along with the gift of sanctifying University of grace. Since he also holds, with Aristotle, that we can create virtuous dispositions in ourselves Notre Dame Press through our own repeated good acts, a question arises: How are we to understand the relationship RELIGION between the virtues God infuses at the moment of grace and virtues that are gradually acquired over time? In this important book, Angela McKay Knobel provides a detailed examination of Aquinas?s Distributor: UTP theory of infused moral virtue, with special attention to the question of how the infused and acquired Distribution moral virtues are related. Part 1 examines Aquinas?s own explicit remarks about the infused and acquired virtues and considers whether and to what extent a coherent ?theory? of the relationship between the infused and acquired virtues can be found in Aquinas. Knobel argues that while Aquinas says almost nothing about how the infused and acquired virtues are related, he clearly does believe that the ?structure? of the infused virtues mirrors that of the acquired in important ways. Part 2 uses that structure to evaluate existing interpretations of Aquinas and argues that no existing account adequately captures Aquinas?s most fundamental commitments. Knobel ultimately argues that the correct account lies somewhere between the two most commonly advocated theories. Written primarily for students and scholars of moral philosophy and theology, the book will also appeal to readers interested in understanding Aquinas?s theory of virtue.

How does a sacred understanding of the world differ from a strictly secular one?

Distributor: UTP Distribution Toward a Sacramental Poetics addresses two urgent questions we have inherited from a half century of secular critical thought. First, how do we understand the relationship between word and thing, sign and signified, other than as some naive direct representation or as a completely arbitrary language game? And, second, how can the subject experience the world beyond instrumentalizing it? The contributors conclude that a sacramental poetics responds to both questions, offering an understanding of the sign that, by pointing beyond itself, suggests wonder.

They draw from diverse resources, from Dante to Hopkins, from Richard Hooker to Stoker's Dracula, from the King James Bible to Wallace Stevens. Toward a Sacramental Poetics is an important contribution to studies of religion and literature, the sacred and the secular, literary theory, and theologies of aesthetics.

It figured prominently in Aristotelian Notre Dame Press philosophy, and the medieval Scholastics built some of their key adages around it.

In The Eucharistic Notre Dame Press Sacrifice, the famous Russian theologian Sergius Bulgakov cuts through long-standing polemics RELIGION surrounding the notion of the Eucharist as sacrifice and offers a stunningly original intervention rooted in his distinctive theological vision. This work, written in 1940, belongs to Bulgakov?s late Distributor: UTP period and is his last, and most discerning, word on eucharistic theology. His primary thesis is that Distribution the Eucharist is an extension of the sacrificial, self-giving love of God in the Trinity, or what he famously refers to as kenosis.

The doctrine of creation ex nihilo has met with criticism and revisionary Notre Dame Press theories in recent years from the worlds of science, theology, and philosophy.

The contributors to this volume approach this topic from a range of perspectives, from exposition to defense of the doctrine itself.
This is a unique and fascinating work whose aim is to present the reader with a compelling set of arguments for why the doctrine should remain central to the grammar of contemporary Christian theology.

In Notre Dame Press Schism, the first monograph that documents the life of the Chinese Adventist denomination from the mid-1970s to the 2010s, Christie Chui-Shan Chow explores how Chinese Seventh-day Adventists RELIGION have used schism as a tool to retain, revive, and recast their unique ecclesial identity in a religious Distributor: UTP habitat that resists diversity. Distribution Based on unpublished archival materials, fieldwork, oral history, and social media research, Chow demonstrates how Chinese Adventists adhere to their denominational character both by recasting the theologies and faith practices that they inherited from American missionaries in the early twentieth century and by engaging with local politics and culture. This book locates the Adventist movement in broader Chinese sociopolitical and religious contexts and explores the multiple agents at work in the movement, including intrachurch divisions among Adventist believers, growing encounters between local and overseas Adventists, and the denomination?s ongoing interactions with local Chinese authorities and other Protestants. The Adventist schisms show that global Adventist theology and practices continue to inform their engagement with sociopolitical transformations and changes in China today.
Schism will compel scholars to reassess the existing interpretations of the history of Protestant Christianity in China during the Maoist years and the more recent developments during the Reform era. It will interest scholars and students of Chinese history and religion, global Christianity, American religion, and Seventh-day Adventism.

480 pages This book challenges the adequacy of identifying religious identity with confessional University of identity. Notre Dame Press University of The Reformation complicated the issue of religious identity, especially among Christians for whom Notre Dame Press confessional violence at home and religious wars on the continent had made the darkness of confessionalization visible. Robert E. Stillman explores the identity of ?Christians without names,? as HISTORY well as their agency as cultural actors in order to recover their consequence for early modern Distributor: UTP religious, political, and poetic history. Distribution Stillman argues that questions of religious identity have dominated historical and literary studies of the early modern period for over a decade. But his aim is not to resolve the controversies about early modern religious identity by negotiating new definitions of English Protestants, Catholics, or ? moderate? and ?radical? Puritans. Instead, he provides an understanding of the culture that produced such a heterogeneous range of believers by attending to particular figures, such as Antonio del Corro, John Harington, Henry Constable, and Aemilia Lanyer, who defined their pious identity by refusing to assume a partisan label for themselves. All of the figures in this study attempted as Christians to situate themselves beyond, between, or against particular confessions for reasons that both foreground pious motivations and inspire critical scrutiny. The desire to move beyond confessions enabled the birth of new political rhetorics promising inclusivity for the full range of England?s Christians and gained special prominence in the pursuit of a still-imaginary Great Britain. Christian Identity, Piety, and Politics in Early Modern England is a book that early modern literary scholars need to read. It will also interest students and scholars of history and religion.

There never was a public trial, nor a full airing of everything that went wrong. Richard A. Serrano shared a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the disaster at the time; now he returns Purdue University Press to the tragedy to learn all that went wrong, how it could have been avoided, and what lasting effects persist today?for engineering and the legal system, but most importantly those who suffered. SOCIAL SCIENCE Drawing on legal depositions, evidentiary material, and recollections from 240 survivors, first responders, and construction officials, Buried Truths and the Hyatt Skywalks is the story of this Distributor: UTP Distribution monumental catastrophe and what it teaches us today.
The Friday evening Tea Dance was all the rage that summer of 1981. Each week the lobby filled with throngs of revelers, some celebrating atop the skywalks themselves. On July 17, without warning, the steel support systems buckled and the concrete and glass skywalks crashed onto the crowded lobby. The devastation reverberated far beyond the ruins. Firefighters, police officers, and paramedics suffered from deep depression, cycled through divorce, hit the bottle, and in some instances committed suicide. The hotel had been built using a new fast-track method with key construction decisions often made on the fly, including changing the skywalk design from six heavy hanger rods to twelve thinner poles. Within a year the skywalks were splintering inside. Even then the collapse could have been averted, but special inspection panels to check the hanging walkways were never opened.
Though wholly avoidable, the Hyatt disaster did bring significant changes?some good and some problematic. Tougher industry guidelines were enforced for US construction projects. Police officers, firefighters, and health care workers are now treated for PTSD and other psychological trauma after working a tragic event. But the rush to settle all the Hyatt lawsuits helped usher in a controversial new era of nondisclosure agreements.
Buried Truths and the Hyatt Skywalks explores America?s worst structural engineering disaster. Though the world has moved on, survivors and witnesses still vividly recall that night. This is their story.

SOCIAL SCIENCE Distributor: UTP But this fake history of a race of Pre-Nashville Giants isn’t the only bad history of what, and who, was Distribution here before Nashville. Sources written for schoolchildren and the public lead us to believe that the first Euro-Americans arrived in Nashville to find a pristine landscape inhabited only by the buffalo and boundless nature, entirely untouched by human hands. Instead, the roots of our city extend some 14,000 years before Illinois lieutenant-governor-turned-fur-trader Timothy Demonbreun set foot at Sulphur Dell. During the period between about AD 1000 and 1425, a thriving Native American culture known to archaeologists as the Middle Cumberland Mississippian lived along the Cumberland River and its tributaries in today’s Davidson County. Earthen mounds built to hold the houses or burials of the upper class overlooked both banks of the Cumberland near what is now downtown Nashville. Surrounding densely packed village areas including family homes, cemeteries, and public spaces stretched for several miles through Shelby Bottoms, and the McFerrin Park, Bicentennial Mall, and Germantown neighborhoods. Other villages were scattered across the Nashville landscape, including in the modern neighborhoods of Richland, Sylvan Park, Lipscomb, Duncan Wood, Centennial Park, Belle Meade, White Bridge, and Cherokee Park. This book is the first public-facing effort by legitimate archaeologists to articulate the history of what happened here before Nashville happened.

From his first book, Roth scandalized literary society as he questioned Jewish identity and sexual politics in postwar America. Scrutiny and fierce rebukes of the renowned author, for everything from chauvinism to anti-Semitism, followed him his entire career. But the public discussions of race and gender and the role of personal history in fiction have deepened in the new millennium. In his latest book, Jacques Berlinerblau offers a critical new perspective on Roth’s work by LITERARY exploring it in the era of autofiction, highly charged racial reckonings, and the #MeToo movement. CRITICISM The Philip Roth We Don’t Know poses provocative new questions about the author of Portnoy’s Complaint, The Human Stain, and the Zuckerman trilogy first by revisiting the long-running argument about Roth’s misogyny within the context of #MeToo, considering the most current perceptions of artists accused of sexual impropriety and the works they create, and so resituating the Roth debates.

56 9780813946528 More Things in Heaven and Earth Shakespeare, Theology, and the Interplay of Texts English by Paul Fiddes 6.12 x 9.25 in | Oct 18, 2021 Hardcover 350 gr University of Shakespeare’s plays are filled with religious references and spiritual concerns. His characters—like Hamlet in this book’s title—speak the language of belief. Theology can enable the modern reader to see more clearly the ways in which Shakespeare draws on the Bible, Virginia Press doctrine, and the religious controversies of the long English Reformation. But as Oxford don Paul Fiddes shows in his intertextual approach, the theological thought of our own time can in turn be shaped by the reading of Shakespeare’s texts and the viewing of his plays. In More Things in Heaven and Earth, Fiddes argues that Hamlet’s famous phrase not only underscores the blurred boundaries between the warring Protestantism and Catholicism of Shakespeare’s time; it is also an appeal for basic spirituality, free from any particular RELIGION doctrinal scheme. This spirituality is characterized by the belief in prioritizing loving relations over institutions and social organization. And while it also implies a constant awareness of mortality, it seeks a transcendence in which love outlasts even death. In such a spiritual vision, forgiveness is essential, human justice is always imperfect, communal values overcome political supremacy, and one is on a quest to find the story of one’s own life. It is in this context that Fiddes considers not only the texts behind Shakespeare’s plays but also Distributor: UTP what can be the impact of his plays on the writing of doctrinal texts by theologians today. Fiddes ultimately shows how this more expansive conception of Shakespeare is grounded in the trinitarian relations of God in which all the texts of the world are held and shaped. Distribution

The answer starts with a look at pre-Yellowstone America. With nothing to put up against Europe’s cultural pearls—its cathedrals, castles, and museums—Americans Bison Books came to realize that their plentitude of natural wonders might compensate for the dearth of manmade attractions. That insight guided the great landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted as he HISTORY organized his thoughts on how to manage the wilderness park centered on Yosemite Valley, a state- Distributor: UTP owned predecessor to the national park model of Yellowstone.

The University of Men, especially Black men, often stand in as the ultimate symbol of the mass incarceration crisis in North Carolina Press the United States. Women are treated as marginal, if not overlooked altogether, in histories of the criminal legal system. In The Streets Belong to Us—the first history of women and police in the The University of modern United States—Anne Gray Fischer narrates how sexual policing fueled a dramatic expansion North Carolina of police power. The enormous discretionary power that police officers wield to surveil, target, and Press arrest anyone they deem suspicious was tested, legitimized, and legalized through the policing of SOCIAL SCIENCE women's sexuality and their right to move freely through city streets. Distributor: UTP Throughout the twentieth century, police departments achieved a stunning consolidation of urban Distribution authority through the strategic discretionary enforcement of morals laws, including disorderly conduct, vagrancy, and other prostitution-related misdemeanors. Between Prohibition in the 1920s and the rise of "broken windows" policing in the 1980s, police targeted white and Black women in distinct but interconnected ways. These tactics reveal the centrality of racist and sexist myths to the justification and deployment of state power. Sexual policing did not just enhance police power. It also transformed cities from segregated sites of "urban vice" into the gentrified sites of Black displacement and banishment we live in today. By illuminating both the racial dimension of sexual liberalism and the gender dimension of policing in Black neighborhoods, The Streets Belong to Us illustrates the decisive role that race, gender, and sexuality played in the construction of urban police regimes.

Through this compelling history, she explores the ways in which people reinforced or challenged racial identities in the concert hall. SOCIAL SCIENCE Distributor: UTP Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, audiences assumed that the categories of Distribution Blackness and Germanness were mutually exclusive. Yet upon attending a performance of German music by a Black musician, many listeners were surprised to discover that German identity was not a biological marker but something that could be learned, performed, and mastered. While Germans and Austrians located their national identity in music, championing composers such as Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms as national heroes, the performance of these works by Black musicians complicated their understanding of who had the right to play them. Audiences wavered between seeing these musicians as the rightful heirs of Austro-German musical culture and dangerous outsiders to it.
Thurman explores the tension between the supposedly transcendental powers of classical music and the global conversations that developed about who could perform it. An interdisciplinary and transatlantic history, Singing Like Germans suggests that listening to music is not a passive experience, but an active process where racial and gendered categories are constantly made and unmade.

Mobilized for total war, soldiers and citizens alike experienced an unprecedented Press convergence of military, economic, social, and political crises. But even in retreat, the militarized HISTORY national community unleashed ferocious energies, staving off defeat for over two years and continuing a systematic murder campaign against European Jews and others. Was its faith in the Distributor: UTP Führer never shaken by the prospect of ultimate defeat? Distribution Lohse uncovers how Germans experienced life and death, investigates how mounting emergency conditions impacted their understanding of the nature and purpose of the conflagration, and shows how these factors impacted people's relationship with the Nazi regime. She draws on Nazi morale and censorship reports, features citizens' private letters and diaries, and incorporates a large body of Allied intelligence, including several thousand transcripts of surreptitiously recorded conversations among German POWs in Western Allied captivity.
Lohse's historical reconstruction helps us understand how ordinary Germans interpreted their experiences as both the victims and perpetrators of extreme violence. We are immersively drawn into their desolate landscape: walking through bombed-out streets, scrounging for food, burning furniture, listening furtively to Allied broadcasts, unsure where the truth lay.

Harrisville 6 x 9 in | 1 gr Nov 15, 2021 Hardcover $47.95 CAD 312 pages Cornell University Press The Virtuous Wehrmacht explores the myth of the German armed forces' innocence by reconstructing the moral world of German soldiers on the Eastern Front of World War II. Cornell University How did they avoid feelings of guilt for the many atrocities their side committed? David A. Harrisville Press compellingly demonstrates that this myth was created during the course of the war itself; it was not a HISTORY postwar whitewashing of events. Distributor: UTP In 1941, three million Wehrmacht troops overran the border between German- and Soviet-occupied Distribution Poland, racing towards the USSR in the largest military operation in modern history. Over the next four years, they embarked on a campaign of wanton brutality, murdering countless civilians, systemically starving millions of Soviet POWs, and actively participating in the genocide of Eastern European Jews. After the war, however, German servicemen insisted that they had fought honorably and their institution had never involved itself in Nazi crimes.
Drawing on over two thousand letters from German soldiers, contextualized by operational and home front documents, Harrisville shows that this myth was the culmination of a long-running efforts by the army to preserve an image of respectability in the midst of a criminal operation. Ordinary soldiers were the primary authors of this fabrication, cultivating a decent self-image and developing moral arguments to explain their behavior by drawing on a constellation of values that long preceded Nazism.
The Virtuous Wehrmacht explains how the army encouraged troops to view themselves as honorable representatives of a civilized nation, not only racially but morally superior to others.

It was Cornell University an era when debates about aircraft superiority went public?and these were not uncontested Press discussions. Michael W. Hankins delves deep into the fighter pilot culture that gave rise to both HISTORY designs, showing how a small but vocal group of pilots, engineers, and analysts in the Department of Defense weaponized their own culture to affect technological development and larger political Distributor: UTP change. Distribution The design and advancement of the F-15 and F-16 reflected this group's nostalgic desire to recapture the best of World War I air combat. Known as the "Fighter Mafia," and later growing into the media savvy political powerhouse "Reform Movement," it believed that American weapons systems were too complicated and expensive, and thus vulnerable. The group's leader was Colonel John Boyd, a contentious former fighter pilot heralded as a messianic figure by many in its ranks. He and his group advocated for a shift in focus from the multi-role interceptors the Air Force had designed in the early Cold War towards specialized air-to-air combat dogfighters. Their influence stretched beyond design and into larger politicized debates about US national security, debates that still resonate today.
A biography of fighter pilot culture and the nostalgia that drove decision-making, Flying Camelot deftly engages both popular culture and archives to animate the movement that shook the foundations of the Pentagon and Congress.

COMPUTERS Distributor: UTP Andrew J. Stewart convincingly shows that emergency software patches and new security products Distribution cannot provide the solution to threats such as computer hacking, viruses, software vulnerabilities, and electronic spying. Profound underlying structural problems must first be understood, confronted, and then addressed.
A Vulnerable System delivers a long view of the history of information security, beginning with the creation of the first digital computers during the Cold War. From the key institutions of the so-called military industrial complex in the 1950s to Silicon Valley start-ups in the 2020s, the relentless pursuit of new technologies has come at great cost. The absence of knowledge regarding the history of information security has caused the lessons of the past to be forsaken for the novelty of the present, and has led us to be collectively unable to meet the needs of the current day. From the very beginning of the information age, claims of secure systems have been crushed by practical reality.
The myriad risks to technology, Stewart reveals, cannot be addressed without first understanding how we arrived at this moment. A Vulnerable System is an enlightening and sobering history of a topic that affects crucial aspects of our lives.

The pivotal development for defining the POLITICAL present political spectrum, he suggests, has been the replacement of a recognizably Marxist Left by SCIENCE an intersectional one, and political and ideological struggles have been configured around what has Distributor: UTP become a dominant force throughout the Western world. Distribution Gottfried discusses the major changes undergone by antifascist ideology since the 1960s, fascist and antifascist models of the state and assumptions about human nature, nationalism versus globalism, the antifascism of the American conservative establishment, and Antifa in America. Also included is an excursus on the theory of knowledge presented by Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan.
In Antifascism Gottfried concludes that promoting a fear of fascism today serves the interests of the powerful?in particular, those in positions of political, journalistic, and educational power who want to bully and isolate political opponents. He points out the generous support given to the intersectional Left by multinational capitalists, and examines the movement of the white working class in Europe? including former members of Communist parties?toward the populist Right, suggesting this shows a political dynamic that is different from the older dialectic between Marxists and anti-Marxists.

Oklahoma Press Some white Protestants, Mormons, American Jews, and Indigenous people constructed nationalist University of narratives around the then-popular idea of “Israelite Indians.” Although these were minority Oklahoma Press viewpoints, they reveal that the story of religion and nationalism in the early United States was more HISTORY complicated and wide-ranging than studies of American “chosen-ness” or “manifest destiny” suggest. Telling stories about Israelite Indians, Dougherty argues, allowed members of specific communities Distributor: UTP to understand the expanding United States, to envision its transformation, and to propose Distribution competing forms of sovereignty. In these stories both settler and Indigenous intellectuals found biblical explanations for the American empire and its stark racial hierarchy.

Garveyism and the Texas Tech University Press Garvey movement had a profound effect on the Black diaspora. Texas Tech University Press HISTORY In the eastern United States, the official name for Garvey?s organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), began with thirteen members in 1916; by the early 1920s, it had Distributor: UTP more than 700 chapters spread through thirty-eight states. Internationally, there were hundreds of Distribution branches stretching across forty-one countries.
Garveyism spread throughout the western US in the early 1920s. However, due to the small communities of Blacks who settled in the West, as well as the significant presence of other diverse racial groups, Garveyism on the West Coast looked very different from Garveyism elsewhere. Unlike in other geographic locations, Garveyites on the West Coast worked in conjunction with non-Black groups, which included East Indians, Mexicans, Pacific Islanders, and Asians. These multiracial leaders contributed to the western Garvey movement and spoke at UNIA chapter meetings, as their own nationalist movements corresponded with the rise of this popular Black nationalist movement.
Whereas Garveyites on the East Coast fought constantly with the NAACP and the Urban League, these groups did indeed work together sporadically on the West Coast. Surveillance records from the American government provide evidence of the complex multiracial connections that occurred in the American West.
While most scholarly research on Garvey has to this point examined the factions of the movement on the East Coast, Roose seeks to expand our knowledge of how we view Black nationalism, drawing out the complexity of the multicultural and multiracial Garvey movement as it existed on the West Coast. Black Star Rising offers new dimensions to conversations on race in the United States, Black nationalist movements, and multicultural organizing in the American West.
