Tolstoy Together: 85 Days of War and Peace with Yiyun Li
Author: Yiyun Li
Publisher: Public Space Books
ISBN: 9781734590760
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
A reader's companion for Tolstoy's epic novel, War and Peace, inspired by the online book club led by Yiyun Li. For the writer Yiyun Li, whenever life has felt uncertain, War and Peace has been the novel she turns to. In March 2020, as the pandemic tightened its grip, Li and A Public Space launched #TolstoyTogether, a War and Peace book club, on Twitter and Instagram, gathering a community (that came to include writers such as Joyce Carol Oates, Garth Greenwell, and Carl Phillips) for 85 days of prompts, conversation, succor, and pleasure. It was an experience shaped not only by the time in which they read but also the slow, consistent rhythm of the reading. And the extraordinary community that gathered for a moment each day to discuss Tolstoy, history, and the role of art in a time like this. Tolstoy Together captures that moment, and offers a guided, communal experience for past and new readers, lovers of Russian literature, and all those looking for what Li identifies as "his level-headedness and clear-sightedness offer[ing] a solidity during a time of duress.

PEACE PSYCHOLOGY
Author: Akif Manaf
Publisher: Az Boek
ISBN: 6256092511
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
The purpose of this book is to clarify the phenomenon of peace by starting from the question, “What is Peace?” The study and research carried out in the book include dialectical, analytical, psychological, and phenomenological factors. Peace, which is a universal phenomenon, will be discussed and examined in detail. Peace is a psychological state. Peace is the absence of hostility, conflicts, fights, and wars. Peace is living in unity, harmony, silence, serenity, and integrity. The phenomenon of peace is an expression of both social and individual conditions. It emphasizes the absence of external conflicts at the social level and the absence of internal conflicts at the individual level. Peace reveals the emotional state of a person who is at peace with oneself. This type of person is in a state of calmness, balance, harmony, and serenity. Peace has always been needed since the existence of humanity. Throughout history, the most intelligent people have strived for peace. This is because peace is an indispensable phenomenon for the prosperity and development of humanity. It is the foundation for equality and happiness in society.

Power-Sharing Pacts and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda
Author: Siobhan Byrne
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000487075
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
This book offers a comparative lens on the contested relationship between two leading conflict resolution norms: ethnopolitical power-sharing pacts and the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda. Championed by national governments and international organizations over the last two decades, power-sharing and feminist scholars and practitioners tend to view them as opposing norms. Critics charge that power-sharing scholars cast gender as an inconsequential political identity that does not motivate people like ethnonationalism. From a feminist perspective, such thinking serves the interests of ethnicized elites while excluding women and other marginalized communities from key sites of political power. This edited volume takes a different tack: while recognizing the gender gaps that still exist in power-sharing theory and practice, contributors also emphasize the constructive engagements that can be built between ethnopolitical power-sharing and gender inclusion. Three main themes are highlighted: The ‘gender silences’ of existing power-sharing arrangements The impact of gender activism and advocacy on the negotiation and implementation of power-sharing pacts in divided societies The opportunities for linkages between power-sharing and the women, peace and security agenda. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Nationalism and Ethnic Politics.

Political Formation
Author: Jenny Leith
Publisher: SCM Press
ISBN: 0334063051
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
What might it mean us to be formed as disciples not only by the church but also by the world? In Political Formation: Being Formed by the Spirit in Church and World, Jenny Leith argues that ethical and political formation of Christians takes place through the work of the Spirit both in the church and in civic life, and the church, too, has something to learn from wider political practices and movements. This account of formation places centre stage a reckoning with the forms of exclusion and marginalisation that mar the church, and yields an understanding of the church as not only ethically formative but also in constant need of being formed itself. Offering a fresh vision for ecclesiology, which grapples with the ethical failings of the church and takes seriously the need for the church to keep on recognising and repenting of its sins, the book offers a major new contribution to discussions around Christian formation and the relationship between discipleship and ethics.
