Babel Unbound
Author: Lesley Cowling
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1776145917
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
In this timely, original and sophisticated collection, writers from the Global South demonstrate that forms of publicness are multiple, mobile and varied The notion that societies mediate issues through certain kinds of engagement is at the heart of imaginings of democracy and often centers on the ideal of the public sphere. But this imagined foundation of how we live collectively appears to have suffered a dramatic collapse across the world, with many democracies apparently unable to solve problems through talk – or even to agree on who speaks, in what ways and where. In the 10 essays in this timely, original and sophisticated collection, writers from southern Africa combine theoretical analysis with the examination of historical cases and contemporary developments to demonstrate that forms of publicness are multiple, mobile and varied. They propose new concepts and methodologies to analyse how public engagements work in society. Babel Unbound examines charged examples from the Global South, such as the centuries old Timbuktu archive, Nelson Mandela as a powerful absent presence in 1960s public life, and the challenges to the terms of contemporary debate around the student activism of #rhodesmustfall and #feesmustfall. These show how issues of public discussion span both archive and media, verbal debates in formal spaces and visual performances that circulate in unpredictable ways.

The Body Unbound
Author: Katherine Lu Hsu
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030658066
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This book explores the body’s physical limits and the ways in which the confines of the body are delineated, transgressed, or controlled in literary and philosophical texts. Drawing on classics, philosophy, religious studies, medieval studies, and critical theory and examining material ranging from Homer to Game of Thrones, this volume facilitates an interdisciplinary investigation into how the boundaries of the body define the human form in language. This volume’s essays suggest that the body’s meaning is perhaps never more evident than in the violation of its wholeness. The boundaries of the body are areas of transition between states and are therefore vulnerable. As individuals find themselves isolated from their world and one another, their bodies regularly allow for physical interactions, incur transgressions and violations, and undergo profound transformations. Thus sympathy, sexuality, disease, and violence are among the main themes of the volume, which, ultimately, reexamines the place of the body in our understanding of what it means to be human.

Worshipping Olympus

Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1304226336
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
This volume contains all the prayers included in Devotion: Prayers to the Gods of the Greeks and In Praise of Olympus: Prayers to the Greek Gods. There are a very few additional pieces, which are also available online at Underflow: Prayers to the Greek Gods at http: //greekpagan.wordpress.com. I say this to let you know that if you've already read what I've already written, there won't be much new here for you; the main reason I decided to combine them into a single volume is for my own convenience.
