Sacred Music, Religious Desire and Knowledge of God - Dr Julian Perlmutter - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Sacred Music, Religious Desire and Knowledge of God - Dr Julian Perlmutter - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Many people find sacred choral music profound and deeply evocative, even in societies that seem to be turning away from religious belief. In this book, Julian Perlmutter examines how, in light of its wide appeal, sacred music can have religious significance for people regardless of their religious convictions. By differentiating between doctrinal belief and the desire for God, Perlmutter explores a longing for the spiritual that is compatible with both belief and ‘interested non-belief’. He describes how sacred music can elicit this kind of longing, thereby helping the listener to grow in religious openness. The work of Thomas Merton is also analyzed in order to show that musically-elicited desire for God can be incorporated into the Christian practice of contemplative prayer, aimed ultimately at a union of love with God. By exploring connections between desire, knowledge and religious practice, this engaging account illustrates how sacred music can have a transformative effect on one’s wider spiritual life.Of particular interest to philosophers and theologians, the book makes a novel contribution to several topics including religious epistemology, the philosophy of emotion and aesthetics.

The Brain-Eye - Eric Alliez - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Brain-Eye - Eric Alliez - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A detailed and inventive study of the thinking at work in modern painting, drawing on a formidable body of scholarly evidence to challenge modernist and phenomenological readings of art history, The Brain-Eye presents a series of interlinked ‘case studies’ in which philosophical thought encounters the hallucinatory sensations unleashed by ‘painter-researchers.’Rather than outlining a new ‘philosophy of art,’ The Brain-Eye details the singular problems pursued by each of its protagonists. Striking readings of the oeuvres of Delacroix, Seurat, Manet, Gauguin, and Cézanne recount the plural histories of artists who worked to free the differential forces of colour, discovered by Goethe in his Colour Theory, in the name of a “true hallucination” and of a logic proper to the Visual.A rigorous renewal of the philosophical thinking of visual art, The Brain-Eye explores the complex relations between concept and sensation, theory and practice, the discursive and the visual, and draws out the political and philosophical stakes of the aesthetic revolution in modern painting.

The Fate of King David - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Fate of King David - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Celebrating the five hundredth volume, this Festschrift honors David M. Gunn, one of the founders of the Journal of Old Testament Studies, later the Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies, and offers essays representing cutting-edge interpretations of the David material in the Hebrew Bible and later literary and popular culture. Essays in Part One, Relating to David , present David in relationship to other characters in Samuel. These essays demonstrate the value of close reading, analysis of literary structure, and creative, disciplined readerly imagination in interpreting biblical texts in general and understanding the character of David in particular. Part Two, Reading David , expands the narrative horizon. These essays analyze the use of the David character in larger biblical narrative contexts. David is understood as a literary icon that communicates and disrupts meaning in different ways in different context. More complex modes of interpretation enter in, including theories of metaphor, memory and history, psychoanalysis, and post-colonialism. Part Three, Singing David , shifts the focus to the portrayal of David as singer and psalmist, interweaving in mutually informative ways both with visual evidence from the ancient Near East depicting court musicians and with the titles and language of the biblical psalms. Part Four, Receiving David , highlights moments in the long history of interpretation of the king in popular culture, including poetry, visual art, theatre, and children''s literature. Finally, the essays in Part Five, Re-locating David , represent some of the intellectually and ethically vital interpretative work going on in contexts outside the U.S. and Europe.

Hegel in A Wired Brain - Slavoj (university Of Ljubljana Zizek - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Hegel in A Wired Brain - Slavoj (university Of Ljubljana Zizek - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Slavoj Žižek gives us a reading of a philosophical giant that changes our way of thinking about our new posthuman era. No ordinary study of Hegel, Hegel in a Wired Brain investigates what he might have had to say about the idea of the ''wired brain'' – what happens when a direct link between our mental processes and a digital machine emerges. Žižek explores the phenomenon of a wired brain effect , and what might happen when we can share our thoughts directly with others. He hones in on the key question of how it shapes our experience and status as ''free'' individuals and asks what it means to be human when a machine can read our minds.With characteristic verve and enjoyment of the unexpected, Žižek connects Hegel to the world we live in now, shows why he is much more fun than anyone gives him credit for, and why the 21st century might just be Hegelian.

David in Distress - Dr. Vivian L. Johnson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

David in Distress - Dr. Vivian L. Johnson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book analyzes the thirteen historical psalms (3, 7, 18, 34, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 59, 60, 63, 142) in the Psalter that refer to crucial moments in King David''s life as recorded in the Samuel narrative (1 Sam 16-1 Kings 2). Because most Psalms research focuses on the original setting, the so-called Sitz-im-Leben , of these late additions to the book of Psalms, they have received little attention. Using a text-based analysis, Johnson has found that these historical psalms focus on episodes of King David''s life in which he experienced trouble. For example, Psalm 3 refers to the coup started by his son Absalom, Psalm 59 refers to the evening when Saul tried to kill David, and Pslam 57 refers to David''s days as a fugitive fleeing from Saul. By highlighting situations of David during his times of distress, these historical psalms tend to recast him as a man who prayed to his God in every moment of difficulty. This recasting of David adds to the various portraits representations of David found in biblical narrative.

Brain, Mind, and the Narrative Imagination - Professor Christopher (university Of Montana Comer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Brain, Mind, and the Narrative Imagination - Professor Christopher (university Of Montana Comer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Stories can inspire love, anger, fear and nostalgia – but what is going on in our brains when this happens? And how do our minds conjure up worlds and characters from the words we read on the page? Rapid advances in the scientific understanding of the brain have cast new light on how we engage with literature. This book – collaboratively written by an experienced neuroscientist and literary critic and writer – explores these new insights. Key concepts in neuroscience are first introduced for non-specialists and a range of literary texts by writers such as Ian McEwan, Jim Crace and E.L. Doctorow are read in light of the latest scientific thought on the workings of the mind and brain. Brain, Mind, and the Narrative Imagination demonstrates how literature taps into deep structures of memory and emotion that lie at the heart of our humanity. It will be of interest to readers of all sorts and students from both the humanities and the sciences.

David Ireland Plays 1 - David Ireland - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

( Independent ) The End of Hope: '' A freewheeling, majestically entertaining, all-too-brief hour that touches on everything from religion and identity to body dysmorphia'' ( Times ) Cyprus Avenue: '' The most shocking play on the London stage ... a blackly comic examination of sectarian hatred – and a subversive drama that has never been more relevant'' ( Guardian ) Ulster American: '' What a brave, savage writer David Ireland is! There are moments in this play that are so shockingly provocative, so laugh-out-loud funny while simultaneously curl-into-a-ball-and cringe-worrying that I found my mouth was actually open. He can''t go there, I thought. And then he did.'' ( WhatsOnStage ) Sadie: '' A fascinating account of one woman, her troubles and the Troubles .'' ( Irish News )David Ireland was Playwright-in-Residence at the Lyric Theatre Belfast 2011-12. He won the Stewart Parker Award and the Meyer-Whitworth Award in 2012 and was shortlisted for the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright 2016.
