David Martin and the Sociology of Religion

David Martin and the Sociology of Religion

David Martin is a pioneer of a political sociology of religion that integrates a combined analysis of nationalism and political religions with the history of religion. He was one of the first critics of the so-called secularization thesis and his historical orientation makes him one of the few outstanding scholars who have continued the work begun by Max Weber and Emile Durkheim. This collection provides the first scholarly overview of his hugely influential work and includes a chapter written by David Martin himself. Starting with an introduction that contextualises David Martin’s theories on the sociology of religion both currently and historically this volume aims to cover David Martin’s lifework in its entirety. An international panel of contributors sheds new light on his studies of particular geographical areas (Britain Latin America Scandinavia) and on certain systematic fields (secularization violence music Pentecostalism the relation between sociology and theology). David Martin’s concluding chapter addresses the critical points raised in response to his theories. This book addresses one of the key figures in the development of the sociology of religion and as such it will be of great interest to all scholars of the sociology of religion. | David Martin and the Sociology of Religion

David Bowie and Transmedia Stardom

David Bowie and Transmedia Stardom

Addressing the interart intertextual and intermedial dimensions of David Bowie’s sonic and visual legacy this book considers more than five decades of a career invested with a star’s luminosity that shines well beyond the remit of pop music. The book approaches the idea of the star David Bowie as a medium in transit undergoing constant movement and change. Within the context of celebrity studies the concept of stardom provides an appropriate frame for an examination of Bowie’s transmedial activity especially given his ongoing iconic signification within the celestial realm. While Bowie has traversed many mediums he has also been described as a medium which is consistent with the way he has described himself. With contributions from a wide range of disciplinary areas and countries each chapter brings a fresh perspective on the concept of stardom and the conceptual significance of the terms ‘mediation’ and ‘navigation’ as they relate to Bowie and his career. Containing a multitude of different approaches to the stardom and mediation of David Bowie this book will be of interest to those studying celebrity audio and visual legacy and the relationships between different forms of media. It was originally published as a special issue of Celebrity Studies. | David Bowie and Transmedia Stardom

Rape Culture in the House of David A Company of Men

Rape Culture in the House of David A Company of Men

Rape Culture in the House of David: A Company of Men describes a biblical rape culture sustained and maintained by Yhwh and a host of men—from royal kings and princes to their relatives counselors generals and servants. This volume reveals that sexual violence in the house of David is not simply perpetrated by its most powerful men. Rather in the pursuit of power status authority and honor men form alliances and networks that support the use and abuse of women’s bodies and valorize sexualized violence against other men. The man who is most capable of sexual violence is Israel’s ideal king. Barbara Thiede deftly addresses the power and contemporary relevance of these narratives and argues that exposing and naming rape culture in biblical literature is essential—in social economic and political realms. This is a meaningful feminist intervention in the field of biblical studies and is of great benefit to graduate students and scholars of religion gender studies and masculinity studies. | Rape Culture in the House of David A Company of Men

The Power of the Mayor David Dinkins: 1990-1993

The Power of the Mayor David Dinkins: 1990-1993

Chris McNickle argues that New York City Mayor David Dinkins failed to wield the power of the mayor with the skill required to run the city. His Tammany clubhouse heritage and liberal political philosophy made him the wrong man for the time. His deliberate style of decision-making left the government he led lacking in direction. His courtly demeanor and formal personal style alienated him from the people he served while the multi-racial coalition he forged as New York's first African-American mayor weakened over time. Dinkins did have a number of successes. He balanced four budgets and avoided a fiscal takeover by the unelected New York State Financial Control Board. Major crime dropped 14 percent and murders fell by more than 12 percent. Dinkins helped initiate important structural changes to the ungovernable school system he inherited. His administration reconfigured health care for the poor and improved access to medical treatment for impoverished New Yorkers. McNickle argues that David Dinkins has received less credit than he is due for his successes because they were overshadowed by his failure to fulfill his promise to guide the city to racial harmony. This stimulating review of a transitional period in New York City's history offers perspective on what it takes to lead and govern. | The Power of the Mayor David Dinkins: 1990-1993

Abstract Painting and the Minimalist Critiques Robert Mangold David Novros and Jo Baer in the 1960s

Abstract Painting and the Minimalist Critiques Robert Mangold David Novros and Jo Baer in the 1960s

This book undertakes a critical reappraisal of Minimalism through an examination of three key painters: Robert Mangold David Novros and Jo Baer. By establishing their substantive engagements with Minimalist discourse as well as their often overlooked artistic exchanges with their sculptor peers it demonstrates that painting crucially informed the movement’s development serving not only as an object of critique but also as a crucible for its most central tenets. It also poses broader disciplinary implications as it historicizes and challenges Minimalism’s death of painting critiques that have been so influential to theories of modernism and postmodernism in the visual arts. | Abstract Painting and the Minimalist Critiques Robert Mangold David Novros and Jo Baer in the 1960s

David Foster Wallace and the Body

David Foster Wallace and the Body

David Foster Wallace and the Body is the first full-length study to focus on Wallace’s career-long fascination with the human body and the textual representation of the body. The book provides engaging accessible close readings that highlight the importance of the overlooked and yet central theme of all of this major American author’s works: having a body. Wallace repeatedly made clear that good fiction is about what it means to be a ‘human being’. A large part of what that means is having a body and being conscious of the conflicts that arise morally and physically as a result; a fact with which as Wallace forcefully and convincingly argues we all desire ‘to be reconciled’. Given the ubiquity of the themes of embodiment in Wallace’s work this study is an important addition to an expanding field. The book also opens up the themes addressed to interrogate aspects of contemporary literature culture and society more generally placing Wallace’s works in the history of literary and philosophical engagements with the brute fact of embodiment.

An Analysis of David Graeber's Debt The First 5 000 Years

An Analysis of David Graeber's Debt The First 5 000 Years

Debt is one of the great subjects of our day and understanding the way that it not only fuels economic growth but can also be used as a means of generating profit and exerting control is central to grasping the way in which our society really works. David Graeber's contribution to this debate is to apply his anthropologists' training to the understanding of a phenomenon often considered purely from an economic point of view. In this respect the book can be considered a fine example of the critical thinking skill of problem-solving. Graeber's main aim is to undermine the dominant narrative which sees debt as the natural – and broadly healthy – outcome of the development of a modern economic system. He marshals evidence that supports alternative possibilities and suggests that the phenomenon of debt emerged not as a result of the introduction of money but at precisely the same time. This in turn allows Graeber to argue against the prevailing notion that economy and state are fundamentally separate entities. Rather he says the two were born together and have always been intertwined – with debt being a means of enforcing elite and state power. For Graeber this evaluation of the evidence points to a strong potential solution: there should be more readiness to write off debt and more public involvement in the debate over debt and its moral implications. | An Analysis of David Graeber's Debt The First 5 000 Years

Saul and the Monarchy: A New Look

Saul and the Monarchy: A New Look

The negative biblical presentation of King Saul of Israel has been biased in favour of David at the expense of Saul. This book presents a more positive picture and more realistic view of the culture of the period extending from Saul to the schism. Simcha Shalom Brooks explores a number of controversial issues such as the historicity of the biblical text on which so many modern scholars are sharply divided; that David was ambitious and coveted Saul's throne and even though David became king the people continued to support the house of Saul. This book makes a valuable contribution to the current biblical debate as to the existence of ancient Israel in the Iron Age 1 Period. Simcha Shalom Brooks draws on literary historical and archaeological material to present a balanced view of the period. | Saul and the Monarchy: A New Look

A Natural History of the Brown Mouse Lemur

A Natural History of the Brown Mouse Lemur

This text can be used for any undergraduate or graduate course with a primate behavior or primate ecology component. It can also be used as supplemental reading for any advanced animal behavior class. There are very few books that address the biology of nocturnal primates. There are even fewer that delve with any detail regarding the behavior of specific species. These animals are difficult to follow. Their diminutive size the thickness of the vegetation and their nocturnal habits make the study of their habits a demanding task. Through a trial of patience Sylvia Atsalis has undertaken this task. Here she provides an in depth view at the life and behavioral patterns of these tiny primates. A Natural History of the Brown Mouse Lemur provides the most complete look at the behavior and ecology of mouse lemurs.

John Cage's Theatre Pieces

John Cage's Theatre Pieces

The experimental composer John Cage (1912-1992) is best known for his works in percussion prepared piano and electronic music but he is also acknowledged to be one of the most significant figures in 20th century theatre. In Cage's work in theatre composition there is a blurring of the distinctions between music dance literature art and everyday life. Here William Fetterman examines the majority of those compositions by Cage which are audial as well as visual in content beginning with his first work in this genre in 1952 and continuing through 1992. Much of the information in this study comes from previously undocumented material discovered among the unpublished scores and notes of Cage and his frequent collaborator David Tudor as well as author's interviews with Cage and with individuals closely associated with his work including David Tudor Merce Cunningham Bonnie Bird Mary Caroline Richards and Ellsworth Snyder. | John Cage's Theatre Pieces
