Deconstructing South Park - Brian Cogan - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Deconstructing South Park - Brian Cogan - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Deconstructing South Park: Critical Examinations of Animated Transgression is an edited collection by Brian Cogan that looks at the long and controversial run of one of the most subversive programs on television. South Park, while denounced by many as simply scatological, is actually one of the most nuanced and thoughtful programs on television. The contributors to South Park reveal that, through the lens of four foul-mouthed nine year olds, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have created one of the most astute forms of social and political commentary in television history. Deconstructing South Park, itself the most ambitious deconstruction of popular culture to date, analyzes how South Park is not only entertainment, but a commentary on American culture that tackles controversial issues far beyond the depth of most television. Specifically, the medium of animated sitcom allows the show's creators to contribute to cultural conversations regarding disability studies, religion, sexuality, celebrity, and more. If South Park deconstructs American culture, then Cogan and his contributors deconstruct the deconstructionists and reveal South Park in all its hilarious and often contradictory complexity.

LA Rising - Kyeyoung Park - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

LA Rising - Kyeyoung Park - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Los Angeles unrest in 1992 proved devastating for the Korean community and the city. More significantly, the beating of Rodney King and the subsequent acquittal of the officers involved in the incident have become a touchstone for discussing race relations and the criminal justice system in the United States.In LA Rising: Korean Relations with Blacks and Latinos after Civil Unrest, Kyeyoung Park revisits the Los Angeles unrest of 1992 and the interethnic and racial tensions that emerged during the unrest. She examines how structural inequality impacted relations among Koreans, African-Americans, and Latinos. Park explores how race, citizenship, class, and culture were axes of inequality in a multi-tiered “racial cartography” that affected how Los Angeles residents thought about and interacted with each other and were emphasized in the processes of social inequality and conflict.

Buddhism and Postmodernity - Jin Y. Park - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Buddhism and Postmodernity - Jin Y. Park - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Buddhism and Postmodernity is a response to some of the questions that have emerged in the process of Buddhism''s encounters with modernity and the West. Jin Y. Park broadly outlines these questions as follows: first, why are the interpretations and evaluations of Buddhism so different in Europe (in the nineteenth century), in the United States (in the twentieth century), and in traditional Asia; second, why does Zen Buddhism, which offers a radically egalitarian vision, maintain a strongly authoritarian leadership; and third, what ethical paradigm can be drawn from the Buddhist-postmodern form of philosophy? Park argues that, as unrelated as these questions may seem, the issues that have generated them are related to perennial philosophical themes of identity, institutional power, and ethics, respectively. Each of these themes constitutes one section of Buddhism and Postmodernity. Park discusses the three issues in the book through the exploration of the Buddhist concepts of self and others, language and thinking, and universality and particularities. Most of this discussion is drawn from the East Asian Buddhist traditions of Zen and Huayan Buddhism in connection with the Continental philosophies of postmodernism, hermeneutics, and deconstruction. Self-critical from both the Buddhist and Western philosophical perspectives, Buddhism and Postmodernity points the reader toward a new understanding of Buddhist philosophy and offers a Buddhist-postmodern ethical paradigm that challenges normative ethics of metaphysical traditions.

St. Paul, the Natural Law, and Contemporary Legal Theory - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

St. Paul, the Natural Law, and Contemporary Legal Theory - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The editors of this unique collection of essays exploring the relationship of St. Paul and the natural law bring together contributions by scripture scholars, theologians, philosophers, and international lawyers.

Beyond the Evangelical Gender Roles Gridlock - Paul J Palma - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Beyond the Evangelical Gender Roles Gridlock - Paul J Palma - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Present-day Evangelicalism represents a microcosm of tensions between male and female gender roles, with some denominations carefully delineating women leadership roles, especially the female pastor, and many others supporting them. The letters attributed to Paul the Apostle contain several divisive passages on the meaning of manhood and womanhood. Dated and dubious readings of these have led some, Christians and non-Christians alike, to conclude that Paul wrote with misogynistic intent. Others quote them to justify Christian patriarchalism. Beyond the Evangelical Gender Roles Gridlock: Reimagining Paul’s Views on Women, Marriage, and Ministry reassesses what Paul said about women, reinterpreting his claims on marriage and ministry leadership in light of his first-century worldview. This book proposes a nuanced theological egalitarian approach with significant implications for renewing twenty-first-century congregations, homes, and society.

Paul Ricœur, Philosophical Hermeneutics, and the Question of Revelation - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ricœur, Philosophical Hermeneutics, and the Question of Revelation - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The topic of revelation is fundamental to any account of religious experience, playing a special role in the Judeo-Christian tradition where the texts of Scripture are regarded as revealed. Yet, any reflection on the revealed status of a given message or text requires interpretation. Paul Ricœur, one of the most important hermeneutic philosophers of the twentieth century, provides crucial insights on how such interpretation might proceed and what it might mean for texts to be revealed. Edited by Christina M. Gschwandtner, Paul Ricoeur, Philosophical Hermeneutics, and the Question of Revelation brings together major scholars of Ricœur’s work on the topic of revelation, showing both the role it already plays in his work and how his thinking might be taken further. Several contributors trace the development of his thought in regard to the concept of revelation. Others discuss the revelatory dimensions of Ricœur’s hermeneutics of the self, especially for such issues as identity, trauma, and forgiveness. Several contributions also place his work in conversation with that of other seminal thinkers on the topic of revelation, such as Karl Barth and Paul Tillich.

Conglomerate Rock - David J. Park - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Conglomerate Rock - David J. Park - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Conglomerate Rock examines how the music industry is creating a new distribution infrastructure by dividing access to exclusive releases through different subscription services, hardware, and new media like audio DVDs in order to maximize profits. Author David J. Park argues that while these changes make it easier to see and hear artists from a handful of transnational corporations in commercial culture, access to music is becoming more dispersed, expensive and difficult to acquire. In addition, music and performers are increasingly being cross-promoted in films, television shows, commercials and other media owned by the Big 4 corporations. Conglomerate Rock critically analyzes these and other trends in order to provoke public discussion concerning the interaction between industry practice and music consumption. The present strategies employed by the industry will have long-term effects on the way consumers experience and access music, as well as how culture is viewed and portrayed in the United States and throughout the world.

Paul Ricoeur - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This collection of essays is dedicated to the prolific career of Paul Ricoeur. In his lifetime, Ricoeur made significant contributions to many fields, such as theology, aesthetics, narratology, linguistics, and of course, philosophy. Within philosophy alone, he engaged many currents of thoughts, always providing careful and faithful analyses of philosophers while adding his own unique perspectives. Many essays in this anthology revisit Ricoeur’s own works, carefully placing him in his philosophical context, while providing new interpretations of questions that mattered to Ricoeur, such as imagination, forgiveness, justice, and memory. Other essays, honoring Ricoeur’s own approach, bring him to dialogue with new questions, such as globalization, technology, and national memorials.

The Political Theology of Paul Tillich - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Political Theology of Paul Tillich - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Political Theology of Paul Tillich explores the political theology of one of the foremost thinkers of the 20th century, Paul Tillich, whose life and scholarship were decisively shaped by his experiences during World War I, his resistance to the rising scourge of Nazism in Germany, and his subsequent immigration to the United States. Tillich’s discerning analysis of fascism, grounded in his socialist commitments, and his continuing efforts to write theology in correlation with culture, make his voice a crucial one for contemporary political theology. The contributors to this volume represent different generations, social and cultural locations, and nationalities Together, they explore Tillich’s early work on religious socialism and its lingering presence in his later systematic theology, bring him into dialogue with liberation theologies, apply his thought to contemporary political concerns, and show the significance of his method of correlation for theological scholarship that engages culture, thereby presenting a case for the continued relevance of Tillich for political theology.

Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the Work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio - Michael Morelli - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the Work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio - Michael Morelli - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book examines biographical and textual connections between sociologist-theologian Jacques Ellul and philosopher-phenomenologist Paul Virilio. Through an examination of Ellul and Virilio’s embeddedness in the socio-historical context of postwar France, the book identifies a relationship between these critics of technology which constitutes a nascent theological tradition. The author shows from various vantage points how Ellul and Virilio’s nascent tradition exposes technology as modernity’s primary idol; and, how it uses multiple disciplines—including history, sociology, philosophy, phenomenology, theology, and ethics—to resist the perilous consequences of the modern world’s worship of power and the kinds of technologies this misdirected worship produces. Jacques Ellul’s death in 1994 and Paul Virilio’s death in 2018 may have prevented the maturation of this nascent theological tradition, but Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio aids this tradition’s ripening through the presentation of an illuminating way to read these two unique, and at times quixotic, intellectuals.

Beyond Justice as Fairness - Paul Nnodim - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Beyond Justice as Fairness: Rethinking Rawls from a Cross-Cultural Perspective by Paul Nnodim explores the three foundational topics in Rawls’s theories of justice (social justice, multiculturalism, and global justice) while deconstructing ideas of democratic citizenship, public reason, and liberal individualism latent in his treatment of these subjects in order to uncover their cultural and historical underpinnings. Nnodim takes up the question of how well these ideas fit with the concept of the person in a non-Western context.

Paul Ricoeur in the Age of Hermeneutical Reason - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ricoeur in the Age of Hermeneutical Reason - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Poetics, Praxis and Critique: Paul Ricoeur in the Age of Hermeneutical Reason addresses contemporary problems of justice, the recognition of disabled persons, the role of imagination in political judgment, the need for religious hospitality and carnal hermeneutics. The essays in this volume are a testament to the power of hermeneutical reason. Following Paul Ricoeur’s style of philosophizing, they explore innovative solutions to pressing issues of our time. Individually, these essays advance new perspectives on the anthropological presuppositions behind the requirement of justice, the role played by convictions and beliefs in pluralistic contexts, and the place of a post-critical religious faith. Together, they demonstrate the value of a hermeneutical mode of reasoning in an age in which conflicts, tensions and violence abound. Their thoughtful engagement with current challenges attests to this volume’s conviction that we, with others, have the ability to intervene in the course of the world to the benefit of all.

Paul Ricoeur's Moral Anthropology - Geoffrey Dierckxsens - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ricoeur's Moral Anthropology - Geoffrey Dierckxsens - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ricœur’s Moral Anthropology is a guide for readers who are interested in Paul Ricœur’s thoughts on morals in general, bringing together the different aspects of what Geoffrey Dierckxsens understands as Ricœur’s moral anthropology. This anthropology addresses the question what it means to be human, capable of participating in moral life. Dierckxsens argues that Ricœur shows that this participation implies being a self, living a singular lived existence with others and being responsible in institutions of justice. Through experiencing life one comes to learn taking moral decisions and the reasons for moral life. The wager of Ricœur’s hermeneutical approach to moral anthropology is—so Dierckxsens argues—to understand moral life on the basis of the interpretation of lived existence, rather than on the basis of cultural or natural patterns only, like many contemporary moral theories in analytical philosophy. Ricœur’s moral anthropology is thus particularly timely in that it offers a critical argument against contemporary moral relativism and reductionism. By bringing together Ricœur’s moral anthropology, and recent moral theories this book offers a novel perspective on Ricœur’s already well-established moral theory. Dierckxsens moreover offers a critical perspective by arguing that we should revisit certain moral concepts in Ricœur’s moral anthropology and in contemporary moral theories in analytical philosophy. He evaluates certain concepts in Ricœur’s work, such as the concept of universal moral norms and how it stands against cultural differences in morals. He moreover interrogates certain ideas of contemporary analytical philosophy, such as the idea of cultural moral relativism and whether we can find a common morality across the cultural differences. By placing Ricœur’s ideas on moral life within the context of the contemporary scene of moral theory, this book contributes well to Studies in the Thought of Paul Ricœur.

Paul Ricoeur and the Lived Body - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ricoeur and the Lived Body - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ricoeur and the Lived Body extends the scope of Paul Ricoeur’s reflections and analyses of the body as one’s own through explorations into the ethical, cultural, and affective dimensions of our corporeal existence. Starting with the fact that each of us has a place in the world by reason of our mode of incarnation as flesh, the contributors to this volume address a range of diverse themes in which the lived body figures. Edited by Roger W. H. Savage, this book investigates the construction of narrative identities and the social assignment of gender and race, the passions and an ethics of respect, affect theory, feeling, the carnal imagination, and the cultural and social milieu that comprises the conditions of our embodiment as subjects who have deeply held conditions and beliefs. That one’s own body is also an object among objects is an invitation on the part of an objectifying attitude to overlook the reality of the experience of one’s body as lived. By acknowledging that the lived body is irreducible to an object in the world, the essays in this volume have a common point: our assurance in acting and suffering is rooted in the mode of our incarnate existence as fragile yet capable human beings.

Encounters with Paul Celan''s Poetry: The Other''s Time consists of encounters: with poetry, with its readers, and with the other that poetry seeks to encounter.

Writing as Resistance - Paul Gready - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Writing as Resistance - Paul Gready - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Writing as Resistance charts the inner workings of apartheid, through the encounters— imprisonment, exile, and homecoming— that crucially defined its violent reign and ultimate overthrow. Author Paul Gready demonstrates the transformative nature of autobiographical narrative as resistance in the context of political struggle. This multidisciplinary study addresses a range of important contemporary topics: migration, postcolonialism, globalization, nationalism, human rights, and political democratization, among others. While informed by the work of South African writers— including Breytenbach, Coetzee, First, Krog, Modisane, and Serote— and adding to the literature on the apartheid era, this book speaks to all cultures of violence. With this important work Gready sheds new light on the relationship between violence and creativity.

The Challenges of Transfrontier Conservation in Southern Africa - Rachel Demotts - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Established in 2003, the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park encompasses land in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Prioritizing wildlife over people, it paved the way for human rights abuses by park rangers, increased human–wildlife conflict, and the forced resettlement of up to 6,000 Mozambicans. Pushing wildlife conservation without consideration for its deeply problematic local consequences is at the heart of The Challenges of Transfrontier Conservation in Southern Africa: The Park Came After Us.

Korean International Students and the Making of Racialized Transnational Elites - Sung Choon Park - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

By examining privileged and highly skilled Asian migrants, such as international students who acquire legal permanent residency in the United States, this book registers and traces these transnational figures as racialized transnational elites and illuminates the intersectionality and reconfiguration of race, class, ethnicity, and nationality. Using in-depth interviews with Korean international students in New York City and Koreans in South Korea as a case study, this book argues racialized transnational elites are embedded in racial and ethnic dynamics in the United States as well as in class and nationalist conflicts with non-migrant co-ethnics in the sending country. Sung-Choon Park further argues strategic responses to the local, social dynamics shape transnational practices such as diaspora-building, transfer of knowledge, conversion of cultural capital, and cross-border communication about race, causing heterogeneous social consequences in both societies.

The Problem of the Idea of Culture in John Paul II - John Corrigan - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Problem of the Idea of Culture in John Paul II - John Corrigan - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Problem of the Idea of Culture in John Paul II: Exposing the Disruptive Agency of the Philosophy of Karol Wojtyła exposes Wojtyła as a disruptive agency in contemporary philosophical debates, reformulating the problem of experience in light of the questions surrounding our idea of culture. Reconsidering the anthropological foundations of this idea, John Corrigan argues that the problem of experience manifests in the apparently divergent accounts of the meaning of human experience as presented by the philosophies of being and of consciousness. Wojtyła’s contemplation of the meaning of human existence led him to the problems of the structure of the person, human action, and the constitutive aspects of human culture. Analyzing the first two problems leads to an idea of the person capable of explaining human experience in relation to human culture; a proper understanding unfolds the experiences of self-knowledge, conscience, and the ontic-causal relationship of the person to human culture. The first part of the book concerns formal considerations regarding the constitutive aspects of Wojtyła’s approach, while the second part deals with pragmatic considerations drawn from his comments on culture. Corrigan provides a new lens with which to view and understand the philosophy of Karol Wojtyła/John Paul II.

Natural Citizens - Richard Paul Hamilton - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Natural Citizens - Richard Paul Hamilton - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Natural Citizens: Ethical Formation as Biological Development presents a novel view, "naturalist humanism," that applies recent scientific work challenging dichotomous views of biological development. Rather than being a passive victim of its evolutionary fate, the developing organism is an active participant, partly constructing its own ecological niche from internal and external resources. The human developmental environment, our ecological niche, has a distinctive socio-cultural character. Richard Paul Hamilton proposes that we understand the development of moral character as an integral part of biological development with the virtues construed as refinements of mundane social intelligence. Drawing on work in 4E Cognition, Hamilton revisits the traditional idea of ethical understanding as quasi-perceptual but argues that this can only be made intelligible by taking a non-representationalist view of perception. The virtuous person has learned how to focus her attention on what enables her to live a fully human life, individually and communally. Given that not all societies are equally conducive to fully human lives, the concluding sections explore how contemporary capitalist society distorts our attention and what obstacles it places in the way of virtue. Natural Citizens highlights the unsustainable state of current social and economic relations and the urgent need for radical alternatives.

Feminist Explorations of Paul Ricoeur's Philosophy - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book for the first time brings together considerations upon the feminine in relation to Paul Ricœur’s thinking. The collection of renowned scholars who have published extensively on Ricoeur and promising younger scholars together shows the rich potential of his thought for feminist theory, without failing to critically scrutinize it and to show its limitations with respect to thinking gender differences. In the first part, “Ricœur, Women, and Gender,” Ricœur’s work is taken as the starting point for the reflection upon the position of women and the feminine, and for rethinking the notion of universalism. In the second part, “Ricœur in Dialogue,”his work is related to feminist thinkers such as Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler, and Nancy Fraser and to the work of artist Kara Walker. These dialogues aim at thinking through socially relevant notions such as discourse, recognition, and justice. In the third part, “Ricœur and Feminist Theology,” Ricœurian notions and ideas are the starting point for new perspectives upon feminist theology. The insights developed in this book will be of particular value to students and scholars of Ricœur, feminist theory, and the limits of hermeneutics and phenomenology.

Medieval America - Paul H. Gates - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Medieval America - Paul H. Gates - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Well into the twenty-first century, the United States remains one of the most highly religious industrial democracies on earth. Recent Gallup surveys suggest that 76 percent of Americans believe that the Bible is divinely inspired or the direct word of God. In Medieval America, Andrew M Koch and Paul H. Gates, Jr. offer a thoughtful examination of how this strong religious feeling, coupled with Christian doctrine, affects American political debates and collective practices and surveying the direct and indirect influence of religion and faith on American political culture. Koch and Gates open a more critical dialogue on the political influence of religion in American politics, showing that people’s faith shapes their political views and the policies they support. Even with secular structures and processes, a democratic regime will reflect the belief patterns distributed among the public. Delving into a perspicacious analysis of the religious components in current practices in education, the treatment of political symbols, crime and punishment, the human body, and democratic politics, they contend that promoting and maintaining a free, open, and tolerant society requires the necessary limitation of religious influence in the domains of law and policy. Readers interested in religion and politics will find much to discuss in this incisive exploration of Christian beliefs and their impact on American political discourse.
