Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

This volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971 to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes narratives and compositions related to history ideology and archaeology on the one hand and text and canon on the other as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies. | Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

This book explores the effectiveness of governance networks on the design and implementation of sustainability strategies. European cities are actively developing sustainability strategies to address the impact of climate change. One recent approach many cities have taken is the creation of ‘governance networks’: groups of public private and third sector organisations which collaborate to support urban sustainability efforts. Drawing on two case studies in Glasgow and Copenhagen this book explores the concept of governance networks in theory and practice revealing how stakeholder collaboration leadership and innovation within these networks can help or hinder the process. It also highlights the many benefits of these networks including increased participation in the decision-making process increased levels of resources and expertise on sustainability issues as well as stakeholder buy-in for sustainability policies. This book provides recommendations for improving the efficiency of governance networks and will be of interest to academics and practitioners working in the areas of urban governance and sustainability. | Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

Real Recognition What Literary Texts Reveal about Social Validation and the Politics of Identity

Real Recognition What Literary Texts Reveal about Social Validation and the Politics of Identity

Real Recognition investigates the complexities of literary and social recognition with the aim of putting a fresh cross-disciplinary spin on reader identification and social acknowledgment. Engaging with contemporary Danish and Anglophone works on racialization disability and gender Marie-Elisabeth Lei Pihl argues in favor of a close relation between aesthetic appeals to recognition and the political dimensions of literary texts. Moreover she proposes a framework bent on experience and relations as opposed to identity and status for articulating new fruitful understandings of how literary texts call for aesthetic and social recognition. Based on this she argues that literary texts can make readers get what social validation is about – and thereby help us redefine a key concept in the social sciences. Marie-Elisabeth Lei Pihl earned her PhD in literature and sociology from the University of Southern Denmark in 2020. Currently she works as a postdoctoral researcher within narrative medicine and literature-based social interventions at the University of Southern Denmark in collaboration with the National Institute of Public Health in Copenhagen.
