Much of what the author has learned on his pilgrimage in search of the fourth self, he owes to his Kenyan brothers and sisters with whom he has shared this journey. The Fourth Self will assist the reader in sharing in this journey more fully. Given the influence of the Western theological heritage in East Africa, it is important that the value of the theological education be evaluated from the perception of the participants in the educational process. This intercultural pilgrimage has been in the making for many decades, and it has been a journey for both African and Western participants as they both learned from and taught one another. This volume articulates the voices of the participants in a theological process while engaging their cultural contexts with the gospel, searching for what Paul Hiebert calls the \u00abfourth self\u00bb, self-theologizing. Furthermore, it evaluates which factors in the theological education process and ministry experiences contributed significantly to the leaders developing their own theological understanding of scripture as it applies to their cultural and ministry contexts, that is, practicing the fourth self. Professors, especially cross-cultural theological educators, will find this text to be useful in delving into the always dynamic cauldron of contexualization, self-theologizing, and global theologizing. In addition, this volume sets a solid foundation for improvements in ministry, theological interchange, and theological education in Africa.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9781433116070,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":47.64999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":5045858,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"the-fourth-self","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/the-fourth-self\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

This volume provides an accessible, critical overview of the main approaches in the debate on posthumanism, and argues that they do not adequately address the question of what it means to be human in an age of biotechnology. Not because they belong to rival political camps, but because they are grounded in a humanist ontology that presupposes a radical separation between human subjects and technological objects. The volume offers a comprehensive mapping of posthumanist discourse divided into four broad approaches?two humanist-based approaches: dystopic and liberal posthumanism, and two non-humanist approaches: radical and methodological posthumanism. The author compares and contrasts these models via an exploration of key issues, from human enhancement, to eugenics, to new configurations of biopower, questioning what role technology plays in defining the boundaries of the human, the subject and nature for each. , Building on the contributions and limitations of radical and methodological posthumanism, the author develops a novel perspective, mediated posthumanism, that brings together insights in the philosophy of technology, the sociology of biomedicine, and Michel Foucault?s work on ethical subject constitution. In this framework, technology is neither a neutral tool nor a force that alienates humanity from itself, but something that is always already part of the experience of being human, and subjectivity is viewed as an emergent property that is constantly being shaped and transformed by its engagements with biotechnologies. Mediated posthumanism becomes a tool for identifying novel ethical modes of human experience that are richer and more multifaceted than current posthumanist perspectives allow for. The book will be essential reading for students and scholars working on ethics and technology, philosophy of technology, poststructuralism, technology and the body, and medical ethics.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9789402405989,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":98.2000000000000028421709430404007434844970703125,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":5055263,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"human-nature-in-an-age-of-biotechnology-1","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/human-nature-in-an-age-of-biotechnology-1\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

Her victory in Kona, Hawaii in 2007 finishing five minutes ahead of her nearest rival was described as the 'biggest upset in Ironman history' and 'a remarkable feat, deemed to be near impossible task for any athlete racing as a rookie at their first Ironman World Championships'. She defended her World title in Hawaii in 2008 and again in 2009. However a bout of severe sickness on the eve of the 2010 event meant she was unable to make the start line to defend her title.

It deserves to be published in its current form, with only the light copyediting that would be a matter of course for any manuscript as it moves through the final stages of production. I strongly recommend that Palgrave publish it.Sorensen's project uses the lens of critical multiculturalism to reexamine key texts of the modernist period that have, within the past 30 years, been 'recovered' to become canonical both within ethnic studies and 'new modernist' studies - or, as importantly, were 'recovered' as canonical but now are losing their canonical status, or have not been 'recovered' at all - to derive both new understandings of the texts themselves, and to examine the ideological terms and institutional processes that have governed their various 'recoveries.' That is, he is interested in creating both alternative readings of the texts themselves, and alternative understandings of the literary historical processes of canon formation . Within current models of liberal multiculturalism, Sorensen argues, ethnic studies tends to celebrate 'recovery' of lost texts\/authors as restoring to health and wholeness a canon in which these authors always properly belonged, or as a making-visible of a coherent tradition of ancestors leading linearly from the past to the present, individual authors, or characters within their texts, in turn tend to be celebrated as 'overcoming' limitations in their own historical periods to find their 'voices.' Similarly, new modernism constructs these recovered texts as part of an expanding, but nonetheless bounded, historical period called 'modernism.' Both of these tendencies, Sorensen argues, 'unify' these authors and texts in ways that 'nullify the untimely energies of recovery and in so doing, reduces the recovered texts' potential to shock and disturb contemporary common sense' (199). Drawing on theorists from Nietzsche to Raymond Williams to Johannes Fabian , Sorensen argues for a literary history and mode of reading that keeps front-and-center the 'untimely' nature of these authors and texts - the way they represent alternative critiques of modernity that are both out of step with mainstream ideologies in their own periods, and also alternatives out of step with the models we would make of them as we seek to fit them into our own critical desires. Instead, Sorensen argues that we must always be aware of recovery as an 'untimely dialectic' (37) in which each positive move in turn contains the uncanny shadow of the alternate possibilities these moves bracket: with each reading of a recovered novel as a bildungsroman triumphantly establishing a previously marginalized self, he argues, alternative, partial, fragmented possibilities within the text are ignored, with each author elevated to canonical status, come other authors whose statuses correspondingly decline or who are never recovered at all.To make this argument, and to articulate his alternative model of literary history, Sorensen engages the novels of four key authors - Zora Neale Hurston, D'Arcy McNickle, Americo Pardes, and Younghill Kang - as well as these authors' shifting status within the canons of ethnic literature and modernism. In keeping with the bi-focal nature of the project - examining the ways both individual texts are read and the processes of canon formation that allow them to be read in the first place - Sorensen takes the reader on 'two different journeys through the s","merchants_number":1,"ean":9781137584762,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":89.900000000000005684341886080801486968994140625,"low_price_merchant_id":70255345,"ID":4800965,"merchants":["euniverse"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"ethnic-modernism-and-the-making-of-us-literary-multiculturalism","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/ethnic-modernism-and-the-making-of-us-literary-multiculturalism\/","low_price_merchant_name":"eUniverse"}

Baseotto?s analyses of Spenser?s ?deathwishers? and ?living dead? focus our attention on some of the most compelling and distinctive images in Spenser?s work, illuminating our understanding of their power and significance through a combination of detailed attention to language and context, and a thoroughly informed understanding of contemporaneous religious ideas and attitudes. Through close and sensitive study of Spenser?s writing from The Shepheardes Calender, through The Faerie Queene, to such little discussed poems as The Ruines of Time and Daphnaida in Complaints, Baseotto establishes the centrality, the subtlety and the distinctiveness of Spenser?s figuring of death.

At the heart of those debates lies the big question of how people - from prehistory to the present day - have depicted themselves and others, both human and divine. Distinguished historian Mary Beard explores how art has shaped, and been shaped by, the people who created it. How have we looked at these images? Why have they sometimes been so contentious? In Part One, she examines how the human figure was portrayed in some of the earliest art in the world - from the gigantic stone heads carved by the Olmec of Central America to the statues and pottery of the ancient Greeks to the terracotta army of the first emperor of China. And she explains how one particular version of representing the human body, which goes back to the ancient world, still influences (and sometimes distorts) how people in the West see their own culture and that of others. Throughout this story, she is concerned not only with the artists who made images, but with those who have used them, viewed them and interpreted them. In other words: How Do We Look? In Part Two, Mary Beard turns to the relationship between art and religion. For centuries, religion has inspired art: from the Hindu temple at Angkor Wat to the Christian mosaics of Ravenna to the exquisite calligraphy of Islamic mosques. But making the divine visible in the human world has never been simple. All religions have wrestled with idolatry and iconoclasm, destroying art as well as creating it - and asking how to look with The Eye of Faith.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9781781259993,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":27.39999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":4927348,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"civilisations-how-do-we-look-the-eye-of-faith","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/civilisations-how-do-we-look-the-eye-of-faith\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

Phil is a very wise, intelligent and competitive fellow who is also a gifted storyteller' Warren Buffett In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from his father and created a company with a simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the boot of his Plymouth, Knight grossed $8000 in his first year. Today, Nike's annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of start-ups, Nike is the ne plus ultra of all start-ups, and the swoosh has become a revolutionary, globe-spanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and recognisable symbols in the world today. But Knight, the man behind the swoosh , has always remained a mystery. Now, for the first time, he tells his story. Candid, humble, wry and gutsy, he begins with his crossroads moment when at 24 he decided to start his own business. He details the many risks and daunting setbacks that stood between him and his dream - along with his early triumphs. Above all, he recalls how his first band of partners and employees soon became a tight-knit band of brothers. Together, harnessing the transcendent power of a shared mission, and a deep belief in the spirit of sport, they built a brand that changed everything.

Set in the glamorous 1920s, A Fine Imitation is an intoxicating debut that sweeps readers into a privileged Manhattan socialite's restless life and the affair with a mysterious painter that upends her world, flashing back to her years at Vassar and the friendship that brought her to the brink of ruin.Vera Bellington has beauty, pedigree, and a penthouse at The Angelus--the most coveted address on Park Avenue. But behind the sparkling social whirl, Vera is living a life of quiet desperation. Her days are an unbroken loop of empty, champagne-soaked socializing, while her nights are silent and cold, spent waiting alone in her cavernous apartment for a husband who seldom comes home.Then Emil Hallan arrives at The Angelus to paint a mural above its glittering subterranean pool. The handsome French artist moves into the building, shrouds his work in secrecy, and piques Vera's curiosity, especially when the painter keeps dodging questions about his past. Is he the man he claims to be? Even as she finds herself increasingly drawn to Hallan's warmth and passion, Vera can't suppress her suspicions. After all, she has plenty of secrets, too--and some of them involve art forgers like her bold, artistically talented former friend, Bea, who years ago, at Vassar, brought Vera to the brink of catastrophe and social exile.When the dangerous mysteries of Emil's past are revealed, Vera faces an impossible choice--whether to cling to her familiar world of privilege and propriety or to risk her future with the enigmatic man who has taken her heart. A Fine Imitation explores what happens when we realize that the life we've always led is not the life we want to have.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9781101905135,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":14.0999999999999996447286321199499070644378662109375,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":4688237,"merchants":["dodax","weltbild"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"a-fine-imitation","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/a-fine-imitation\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

This volume provides an accessible, critical overview of the main approaches in the debate on posthumanism, and argues that they do not adequately address the question of what it means to be human in an age of biotechnology. Not because they belong to rival political camps, but because they are grounded in a humanist ontology that presupposes a radical separation between human subjects and technological objects. The volume offers a comprehensive mapping of posthumanist discourse divided into four broad approaches?two humanist-based approaches: dystopic and liberal posthumanism, and two non-humanist approaches: radical and methodological posthumanism. The author compares and contrasts these models via an exploration of key issues, from human enhancement, to eugenics, to new configurations of biopower, questioning what role technology plays in defining the boundaries of the human, the subject and nature for each. , Building on the contributions and limitations of radical and methodological posthumanism, the author develops a novel perspective, mediated posthumanism, that brings together insights in the philosophy of technology, the sociology of biomedicine, and Michel Foucault?s work on ethical subject constitution. In this framework, technology is neither a neutral tool nor a force that alienates humanity from itself, but something that is always already part of the experience of being human, and subjectivity is viewed as an emergent property that is constantly being shaped and transformed by its engagements with biotechnologies. Mediated posthumanism becomes a tool for identifying novel ethical modes of human experience that are richer and more multifaceted than current posthumanist perspectives allow for. The book will be essential reading for students and scholars working on ethics and technology, philosophy of technology, poststructuralism, technology and the body, and medical ethics.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9789400775534,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":65.599999999999994315658113919198513031005859375,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":4388666,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"human-nature-in-an-age-of-biotechnology","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/human-nature-in-an-age-of-biotechnology\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}
