Counterpoint The National Road: Dispatches from a Changing
Book SynopsisThis collection of eloquent essays that examine the relationship between the American landscape and the national character serves to remind us that despite our differences we all belong to the same land (Publishers Weekly).“How was it possible, I wondered, that all of this American land--in every direction--could be fastened together into a whole?”What does it mean when a nation accustomed to moving begins to settle down, when political discord threatens unity, and when technology disrupts traditional ways of building communities? Is a shared soil enough to reinvigorate a national spirit?From the embaattled newsrooms of small town newspapers to the pornography film sets of the Los Angeles basin, from the check-out lanes of Dollar General to the holy sites of Mormonism, from the nation’s highest peaks to the razed remains of a cherished home, like a latter-day Woody Guthrie, Tom Zoellner takes to the highways and byways of a vast land in search of the soul of its people.By turns nostalgic and probing, incisive and enraged, Zoellner’s reflections reveal a nation divided by faith, politics, and shifting economies, but--more importantly--one united by a shared sense of ownership in the common land.

Astra Publishing House Technology and Barbarism
Book SynopsisThought provoking pieces of non-fiction exploring the cross-roads of technology with art and science, as well as how hard science fiction has inspired the craziest ideas of our times, for the good and the bad.The non-fiction pieces included in Technology and Barbarism, as well as the long essay Capitalist Science Fiction, constitute the non-fiction alternative to Nieva’s Dengue Boy and has similar potential to achieve cult-status. Equally fast and furious, grounded in deep research as well as far-reaching literary traditions, Nieva writes about the crossroads between civilization and barbarism through history, literature, and the incidence of genetics in the arts and humanities. Could the inspiration for Kafka's stories have come from his visits to human zoos where he saw indigenous people kidnapped from Tierra del Fuego? Can an algorithm understand the verses of Rubén Darío? Can bacteria write literature? And can a monkey reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare? These are some of the questions that run through this collection of essays, which explores the almost always ambiguous threshold that technology and culture have drawn between what is understood as human and what is not, living and non-living, and which is the seed of the biggest questions of this century. From nineteenth century science fiction to contemporary art exhibitions, via a philosophical take on COVID, this book examines the impact of capitalism, indigenous extermination, medical policies in Latin America and elsewhere, in order to interrogate our very identity.In Capitalist Science Fiction, Nieva studies the influence of historical ‘hard’ science fiction on technology and capitalism today, with a special focus on Silicon Valley, and a particular spin at the end on, of course, Elon Musk. The essay is totally timely and super smart.

Academica Press From Odessa With Love: Political and Literary
Book SynopsisThe Tashkent-born Russian-American literary critic, editor, essayist, and journalist Vladislav Davidzon has been covering post-Soviet Ukraine for the past ten years, a tumultuous time for that country and the surrounding world. The 2014 “Revolution of Dignity” heralded a tremendous transformation of Ukrainian politics and society that has continued to ripple and reverberate throughout the world. These unprecedented events also wrought a remarkable cultural revolution in Ukraine itself.In late 2015, a year and a half after the 2014 Revolution swept away the presidency of the Moscow-leaning kleptocratic President Viktor Yanukovich, Davidzon and his wife founded a literary journal, The Odessa Review, focusing on newly emergent trends in film, literature, painting, design, and fashion. The journal became an East European cultural institution, publishing outstanding writers in the region and beyond. From his vantage point as a journalist and editor, Davidzon came to observe events and know many of the leading figures in Ukrainian politics and culture, and to write about them for a Western audience. Davidzon later found himself in the center of world events as he became a United States government witness in the Ukraine scandal that shook the presidency of Donald Trump. This eagerly anticipated debut tells the real story of what happened in Ukraine from the keen and resilient perspective of an observer at its center.

Oneworld Publications Resurrection Reconsidered
Book SynopsisResurrection reconsidered revisits the vexed question arguably at the very heart of the Christian faith: What is the nature of the resurrection? The first part of this stimulating collection of essays, drawn from an international team of writers, examines the resurrection itself and reflects the many different positions within contemporary Christian thought, ranging from a defence of the resurrection as a literal historical event, through to an outright rejection of the resurrection, and a feminist- psychoanalytic critique. The book then explores the resurrection within an equally controversial arena: Christianity and other religions- pushing the debate into a broader, interreligious context. For scholars, students, clergy and all those concerned with Christianity in the modern world, Resurrection Reconsidered offers an exciting foretaste of the type of debate that will mark a pluralist twenty-first century.Table of Contents1. The Resurrection in Contemporary New Testament Scholarship 13 2. The Resurrection in Contemporary Systematic Theology 31 3. The baseless Fabric of a Vision 48 4.
