Duke University Press Ezilis Mirrors
Book SynopsisOmise'eke Natasha Tinsley traces how contemporary queer Caribbean and African American writers, filmmakers, musicians, and performers evoke the divinity Ezilia pantheon of lwa feminine spirits in Vodouin ways that offer a new model of queer black feminist theory.Trade Review"Ezili’s Mirrors thoroughly and carefully mines the utility and uniqueness of multiple spiritual and thought traditions, aesthetics, and sources of knowledge. . .. Ezili’s Mirrors is important because through it Tinsley shows us ways that black femme life and black queer life exists and asserts itself as other than the abject, the undesirable, the inappropriate, and the excessive." -- Alexandria Smith * The New Inquiry *"I have longed for a book as daring as Ezili's Mirrors." -- Meredith Coleman-Tobias * Reading Religion *"This pathbreaking work prompts Black feminist and queer diaspora scholars to use their academic training not as an endpoint, but as a point of departure, emboldening scholars to turn to whatever sources that are necessary to write books that will sustain alternative forms of knowing under increasing conditions of precarity in Black queer diasporic lives, loves, and labor." -- Darius Bost * The Black Scholar *"Once in a great while, a gem of a book comes along. It is not only elegantly written and astutely composed, compellingly and courageously argued, but it also opens up new and generative ways of looking at the African diaspora and the disciplines devoted to its study. I am talking about Tinsley’s Ezili’s Mirrors. I read the book with intense joy, on many levels: its theoretical polyamory, its dazzling methodology, its engrossing narrations, and the different senses it calls on." -- Gloria Wekker * TSQ *"Ezili's Mirrors makes an original contribution to the development of the field of queer black religion and to the ways in which this scholarship has a wider, public impact in the representation and self-understanding of queer-of-color spiritual communities whose members experience lives of constant fragmentation and recomposition daily, globally." -- Roberto Strongman * GLQ *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Bridge.

University of Pittsburgh Press In Search of the Sacred Book
Book SynopsisStudies the artistic incorporation of religious concepts such as prophecy, eternity, and the afterlife in the contemporary Latin American novel. This book departs from sociopolitical readings by noting the continued relevance of religion in Latin American life and culture, despite modernity's powerful secularizing influence.Trade ReviewWe have read the Latin American novel as reconfigurations of history, ethnological recoveries, and political interventions, but we neglected to look at the powerful undercurrents of belief, faith, and epiphanic vision that are a true dimension of their inner creativity. González and his book of revelations discover that poetic knowledge has shaped their storytelling with epiphanies and transfiguration. Nothing of the human experience was estranged to these fictions, not even religion."" - Julio Ortega, Brown University""González, one of his generation’s most accomplished scholars of Spanish American Literature, offers a remarkable, erudite, and imaginative re-reading of the region’s modern fiction, with the compelling argument that, culminating with the Boom, the novel aspired to a reader experience comparable to effects generated by what many cultures regard as ‘sacred texts,’ only to critique and dismantle these aspirations in the late twentieth century and new millennium."" - Vicky Unruh, University of Kansas

Book SynopsisThis book studies the use of biblical quotations in Kierkegaard's pseudonymous works, as well as Kierkegaard's hermeneutical methods in general. Kierkegaard's mode of writing in these works-indeed, the very method of indirect communication-consists in a certain appropriation of the Bible.

Fordham University Press Without Nature
Book SynopsisIs nature undergoing fundamental change? What role does nature play in theological ethics? How might ethical deliberation proceed without nature in the future? This book brings leading natural and social scientists into conversation with prominent Christian theologians and ethicists to wrestle collectively with difficult questions.Trade Review"We scholars, in spite of our critical tendencies, can nevertheless find ourselves sliding along with the momentum of major conceptual shifts as if they were a fait accompli. The editors of this volume refuse to do so, instead asking if, in this post-modern context, we really are ready to dispose of 'nature' as a descriptive, moral, and theological category. They have assembled a strong multidisciplinary group of scholars to consider the question from their respective fields, and so do us the great service of bringing the Humanities and Sciences together in one volume. The result is not only a timely conceptual inventory but also something of an intellectual gut check." -- -Daniel Cowdin Salve Regina University "A remarkable interdisciplinary exercise, eloquently combining philosophy and theology, ethics and science, early and medieval thought-all in the context of a modern encounter and dynamic." -- -John Chryssavgis author of Cosmic Grace, Humble Prayer and Beyond the Shattered Image "An important resource for inter-disciplinary conversation among academics beyond the fields of ethics and theology." -- -David Kelsey Yale Divinity School " ... illuminates how different views of nature might affect one's ethical views toward technological and bioengineering advancement." -Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith "Virtually no part of global nature remains untouched by human hands. If religion and science are to work as allies in responding to the global environmental crisis, they need to understand how technology has utterly transformed the terms of the debate. This forward-looking volume sets the framework for radically new forms of partnership." -- - Philip Clayton author of In Quest of Freedom: The Emergence of Spirit in the Natural World

Fordham University Press In the World Yet Not of the World Social and
Book SynopsisSpeaks to a contemporary world about human rights, religious tolerance, international peace, and environmental protection. This book presents a selection of major addresses and significant messages as well as public statements by His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, 'first among equals' and spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians.Trade Review"... a great monument to the role of Christianity in an ever-changing world, and the leadership it can provide in witness to the Gospel." -Catholic Missourian "Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew's message of global peace, racial tolerance, environmental stewardship, and inter-cultural understanding unites people of all backgrounds and faiths. His words highlight our common humanity, our common responsibilities, and our common future. This book will help inspire us to create a better world." -- -Michael R. Bloomberg Mayor of the City of New York "The powerful words and vision of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in this treasured volume of major addresses, significant messages, and public statements are at once timely and timeless, instructive and inspirational, but above all, they are a blessing and a gift to Orthodox Christians everywhere, to people of all faiths around the world, and to our shared humanity." -- -U.S. Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine "Our age urgently calls for global leaders who can draw connections and build bridges between the world's diverse and disparate religions, races, civilizations and nations. Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is such a leader, and these timely texts reveal his unique and inspiring spiritual voice. The Patriarch's reflections are a significant blueprint for people of good faith to engage in dialogue on the crucial issues of our time." -- -former U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes of Maryland

Fordham University Press Secrets of Becoming
Book SynopsisBrings into conversation modes of thought traditionally held apart: Whitehead's philosophy of the event, Deleuze's philosophy of multiplicity, and Judith Butler's philosophy of gender difference. This volume finds that bridge in an emphasis on becoming that secretly defines the philosophies of Whitehead, Deleuze, and Butler.Trade ReviewOffers a lucid and nuanced introduction to some of the key concepts developed by Whitehead, Deleuze, and Butler.---—Mayra Rivera, Pacific School of ReligionThis collection of essays brings together three very different thinkers around their shared immanentism and anti-substantialism, attending to the differing ways that events, bodies, and gods become in the absence of a transcendent order of being. Operating without a form, essence, or original according to which becoming comes to be, Whitehead, Deleuze, and Butler share an attentiveness to that which has never been before. This volume promises a kind of newness at all levels: it stages an unprecedented conversation among thinkers committed to the unprecedented.---—Mary Jane Rubenstein, Wesleyan University

Fordham University Press Lessons in Secular Criticism
Book SynopsisDisrupting recent fashionable debates on secularism, this book raises the stakes on how we understand the space of the secular, independent of its battle with the religious, as a space of radical democratic politics that refuse to be theologized.Trade Review"Lessons in Secular Criticism is a timely and polemical manifestation of parrhesia. It offers compelling evidence that 'post-secularism' comes neither 'after' the secular nor does it understand the 'secular'. Moving effortlessly between literary theory, philosophy, and politics, Gourgouris offers a profoundly democratic defense of criticism without transcendent principles and a critical defense of democracy without neoliberal capitalism. Lessons in Secular Criticism brilliantly diagnoses the key antagonism of our times as that between various heteronomies (theology, capital, transcendence) and autonomy, the power (kratos) of the demos to become otherwise. Read it." -- -Costas Douzinas Birkbeck College, University of London "This book defines the secular: 'to encounter one's life as a worldly affair and responsibility that rests on no foundation.' This definition drives Gourgouris' intervention in the critical debate around secularism and his reading of global popular revolts as lived forms of secular criticism. Erudite, thrilling, and provocative, this is, simply, urgent reading." -- -Martin Harries University of California, Irvine "Gourgouris presents an incredibly intelligent means by which the secular can address [the challenge to the secular] without ultimately disturbing its own enabling habits." -Daniel Colucciello Barber, Los Angeles Review of Books "What is secular criticism? The expression's coinage is attributed to Edward Said, and as Stathis Gourgouris demonstrates, it is a key politico-aesthetic concept that resists definition. Identifiable neither with the remainders of political theology in democracy nor with an immanent, non-transcendental metaphysics, (though combining elements of both), secular criticism is cast as something on the order of a teaching; an initiation into worldly praxis. In the contemporary moment - rife with crude generalizations about cultures of belief and sacral icons - Lessons in Secular Criticism enlists philosophy to rethink basic assumptions underwriting the politics of religion and culture. We discover here new forms of secularism as "heteronymy:" modes of self-alteration, self-enactment, conviction, tragic life and poietic existence. This book is a model of criticism in action offering creative engagements with the work of Edward Said, Talal Asad, Judith Butler, Cornelius Castoriadis, Charles Taylor and Claude Lefort among others." -- -Emily Apter New York University "...Gourgouris not only challenges the metaphysical commitments he sees in traditional formations of secularism and religion, but he also significantly expands the potential meaning of the term 'secular criticism' ..." -College Literature, Vol. 41.3 "Written in a free and combative and given both to close readings of texts and to gazing off into the broad horizon, these essays cover a range of issues historical and philosophical, archaic and contemporary, literary and political..." -Theological Book Review "Gourgouris's book is an astonishing achievement: it does not simply set the debate about secularism on an entirely new basis, in addition it sets the basis of a theory of radical democracy in modernity and does so by applying the theory to a variety of historical events from the past few years." -- -Dimitris Vardoulakis University of Western SydneyTable of ContentsPreface xi Acknowledgments 1.

Fordham University Press Material Spirit
Book SynopsisExplores the relation between religion, philosophy and literature.Trade Review"Material Spirit will be a stimulating read for anyone who takes immanence seriously in, and especially across, philosophical, religious, literary, and cultural registers. Rather than rehearsing well-worn arguments or rehashing old debates, the contributors innovatively interpret the titular phrase, combining disciplines, methods, texts, and topics as seemingly unlikely, but as ultimately provocative, as the phrase 'material spirit.'" -- -William Robert Syracuse University "The contributions to Material Spirit are original, compelling, and beautifully interwoven. Together, they carve out a space that is neither religious nor not-religious, avoiding the dangers of unreconstructed immanence on the one hand and escapist transcendence on the other." -- -Mary-Jane Rubenstein Wesleyan UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction Gregory Stallings, Manuel Asensi, and Carl Good Eucharistic Imaginings in Proust and Woolf Richard Kearney Impossible Confessions Karmen MacKendrick The Third Life of Saint Teresa of Jesus Manuel Asensi Renunciation and Absorption: On the Dimensionality of Baroque Asceticism Burcht Pranger "For the Life Was Manifested" Kevin Hart Augustine, Rosenzweig, and the Possibility of Experiencing Miracle Virginia Burrus "Come forth into the light of things": Material Spirit as Negative Ecopoetics Kate Rigby The Angel and the Storm: "Material Spirit" in the Era of Climate Change Tom Cohen The Material Working of Spirit J.

Fordham University Press Ordinary Oblivion and the Self Unmoored
Book SynopsisRapp offers a recast interpretation of Plato through a focus upon the transformative processes required by his texts in which spaces of ordinary oblivion put a reader at risk. The decomposing and generative effects of these oblivions reflect the ineluctable porosity of human life and the fertile fragility of forgetting.Trade Review"Rapp's ambitious and exciting work plumbs the depths of Plato's text with verve and sings with a voice as poetic as Plato's own." --Highly Recommended -Choice Magazine "This is an extraordinarily creative, and lyrically written, meditation on the philosophical meaning and experiential richness of what is, by any measure, one of Plato's most creative and lyrical dialogues. Countering the all too comon belief that Plato was strictly hostile to poetry and poets, an idea the *Phaedrus* belies, Rapp weaves contemporary poetic voices into her meditation on this preeminently Greek philosophical vision. The result is a tapesty of exceptional beauty and insight." -- -Louis Ruprecht Georgia State UniversityTable of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Introduction: Replete & Porous: Reading the Phaedrus and Writing the Soul 1.

Book SynopsisThe anthology focuses on the major classical pragmatist theories of religion. It is unique in pointing out pragmatist concepts of religious individualization as alternatives to the common secularization discourse and by stressing the compatibility of religious individualism with a positive concept of community.Trade Review"While much scholarship has focused on naturalism in American pragmatism, this is the first anthology that offers a comprehensive look at transcendence in that tradition. It is thus an extremely important contribution to scholarship in the field." -- -Kenneth Stikkers Southern Illinois University "This volume explores the rich seam of religious meaning running through the classical figures of pragmatism. The essays employ topical, historical, and speculative approaches to a wide array of texts, with an emphasis on Peirce, comprising a feast of ideas and continuing questions circulating pragmatism's role in the tradition of philosophy, transcendence, and God." -- -Roger A.

Especially exploring how religious motifs are appropriated and recycled, Alexandrova considers how and why contemporary artists transform and in some cases defuse religious imagery." -- -Erika Doss University of Notre DameTable of ContentsList of Figures Preface and Acknowledgments Introduction: Situating Contemporary Art and Religion 1.
