Throughout history, the force of gravity rendered the right angle sacrosanct in the world of architecture. However, as the 20th century dawned, the long-simmering diagonal motif finally arrived full force and upended the fields of architecture, design, and the fine arts. This book summarizes the authors 60-year study of this revolutionary geometric motif and highlights how it is tied to social upheavals and artistic movements. Once people understand the concept of Diagonality, they will begin to see its angled planes on street corners, in art museums, and possibly in everyday objects. Diagonality has been all around us but hidden in plain sight.

Este libro propone una historia revisionista del arte cubano centrada en el estudio de la producción artística y los mundos sociales de los artistas afrodescendientes en la isla, desde el período colonial hasta el presente. A fines del siglo XVIII, los residentes de La Habana hablaban con frecuencia de la existencia de comunidades importantes de negros y pardos que eran "ventajosos maestros" en los oficios de pintura y escultura, autores de obras que los contemporaneos describian como "primorosas". ¿Quienes son esos artistas? ¿Que tipo de obras produjeron? ¿Donde estan? ¿Donde se formaron y como se transmitieron esos saberes? ¿Por que muchos artistas afrodescendientes, incluso del siglo XX, permanecen ignorados? Los autores ofrecen respuestas preliminares a estas preguntas. Para ello, estudian los prejuicios raciales y de genero que han ayudado a constituir el canon artistico cubano; exponen como los ideologos de la clase de plantadores esclavistas institucionalizaron la asociacion entre las "bellas artes" y atributos clave de la blanquitud; y exploran como dicha asociacion continua dando forma a las narrativas historicas del arte en Cuba. El resultado es un volumen de interes no solo para los estudiosos de la presencia africana en las Americas, sino para coleccionistas y amantes del arte latinoamericano.

Tackle Key Questions from the Past Two Decades in this Fully Updated EditionEngage with the latest scholarship on the biblical theology of mission and missional hermeneutics with Christopher J. H. Wrights classic textnow fully revised and updated!Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. But Christopher Wright boldly maintains that there is a missional basis for the Bible itself. The entire Bible is generated by and is all about Gods mission. In order to understand the Scriptures, we need a missional hermeneutic, an interpretive perspective in sync with the beating heart of its great mission.Wright gives us a new hermeneutical perspective on Scripture through an understanding of: Who God is What he has called his people to be and do How the nations fit into Gods mission In this revised edition of The Mission of God, Wright extends his classic discussion to consider the ways that the conversation on missional hermeneutics has developed since its original publication. With fully updated citations and additional chapters focused on gospel-centered holistic mission and on the issue of election and supersessionism, this new edition addresses the questions, criticisms, and insights that have emerged during the intervening two decades.Gods mission is to reclaim the world, and Gods people have a designated role to play. Whether youre a pastor, scholar, or student, The Mission of God will benefit your understanding of how the Bible shapes the story and purpose of Gods people.

COVID-19 had an enormous impact on society around the globe. By 5th March 2023, when the WHO officially declared the pandemic emergency over, societies affected by it had been profoundly changed. The COVID-19 pandemic not only had medical consequences, but also significant effects related to the mechanisms involved in its discursive construction as a phenomenon of wide significance in various social arenas. Reaching a highly polarized form, public debate on compulsory vaccination against COVID-19 constituted an essential component of mechanisms not only for stance-taking, for creating opportunities for self- and other-positioning, and for covering discursive positions, but also for subverting existing epistemic orders. The present volume reconstructs this complex discursive phenomenon with examples from Italy, Germany and the USA, and invites critical reflections on the way societies around the globe have faced the extreme crisis sparked by the pandemic.

Demonstrationen sind Teil eines demokratischen Meinungsbildungs- und Entscheidungsprozesses, und nicht selten sind sie auch in Europa verbunden mit Gewalt, die als legitimer Ausdruck von Unzufriedenheit wahrgenommen und praktiziert wird. Hierbei zeigt sich die Gefahr der Instrumentalisierung der Demonstrationsfreiheit durch gewalttatige Gruppen fur ihre eigenen Zwecke. Die Beitrage zielen darauf ab, das aktuelle globale Phanomen der Gewalt in verschiedenen Landern als Form der Artikulation politischen Protests aus einer ethischen Perspektive zu reflektieren und Beteiligungsmoglichkeiten einer demokratischen Gesellschaft auszuloten, die das friedliche Zusammenleben nicht gefahrden.

The final chapter discusses the management of the occasional complications encountered during and after surgery.

From the crisis of the Babylonian exile to the rise of rabbinic Judaism--a span of over six hundred years--the Jewish people produced a wealth of literature that lies outside the Hebrew Bible. Today it goes under names such as apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, Josephus and Philo, apocalyptic literature and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Mishnah and targums. But line by line, scroll by scroll, it represents the history and theology, the hopes and prayers of a living and diverse Judaism. It is an engrossing subject in and of itself, but for students of the New Testament it offers an invaluable context for understanding the words and actions of Jesus as well as the conversion and thinking of Paul.Exploring Jewish Literature of the Second Temple Period is an introduction to this literature and places it within its historical context. Riding the explosive growth of knowledge of this period, Larry R. Helyer guides students to the heart of the matter. What were the pressures and realities, the questions and dreams that nurtured and provoked these written expressions? And how does this literature throw light on the text of the New Testament and origins of Christianity?

The volume is an important contribution to the scholarship on childhood and education in globalised contexts. It is marked by conceptual depth, theoretical pluralism, and a commitment to social justice. The authors challenge prevailing assumptions, raise critical voices and foreground the child as an epistemic subject living in complex and contested realities. The volume shows the child not only as a passive recipient of adult interventions, but as a subject constructed by and within dynamic global technological, economic, cultural and political forces. They provide a valuable resource for scholars in the fields of educational theory, childhood studies and globalization studies.

With contributions from Salman Akhtar, Muge Alkan, Gulgun Alptekin, Mine Ozguroglu Cukurcesme, Yavuz Erten, Cemile Serin Gurdal, Elif Nisan Ilkmen, Ulku Elif Gurisik, Bella Habip, Cuneyt Iscan, Sureyya Iscan, T.

The book is divided into four parts. The first looks at the history of psychoanalysis in Turkey. The second investigates the psychology of mothers, fathers, siblings, and the adolescent phase in Turkey. The third addresses the complexities and nuances of identity formation, nostalgic rumination, massive trauma, and female aggression in the context of Turkish society at large, including the use of film and literature. The fourth pertains to technical clinical issues, dealing with matters as diverse as grief, spirituality in the context of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, tenacious maternal transferences and the handling of nonverbal material in the clinical session, to name but a few. While the book is psychoanalytic, not all contributors are analysts; many belong to other fields including psychology, sociology, psychiatry, and cultural anthropology. Thus, this is a book not only for psychoanalysts, but also for members of those fields, psychotherapists, and anyone with an interest in Turkish culture.

An intimate account of spiritual death and resurrectionTheCompleteLondon Writings present the spiritual and theological journal of a man revived by Gods word. German philosopher Johann Georg Hamann, destitute and depressed in London in 1758, bought a King James Bible on impulse. Within a month of reading it cover to cover, he was convicted of his sin and converted to Christ. His reading inspired him to write meditations on the entire Bible and reexamine the course of his life. In these Writings, Hamann reflects on his life, the Scriptures, and faith. A combination of autobiography, philosophy, theology, and biblical exegesis, Hamanns work has been compared to Augustines Confessions. Translated into English for the first time by John W. Kleinig, The Complete London Writings bring Hamanns thought to a new audience.

Las venturas y desventuras del condestable de Juan II de Castilla, don Álvaro de Luna, protagonizan la poesía narrativa del siglo XIX, desde Don Álvaro de Luna (1834) de Ángel Saavedra, duque de Rivas, hasta La tumba del condestable (1888) de Blanca de los Rios. Un total de ocho composiciones extensas y seis breves se inscriben en una corriente de recuperacion del romance historico, que se inicia en el Romanticismo y se prolonga hasta finales de siglo, y que pone de actualidad a Juan II y su mano derecha, exhibidos con diversos fines politicos. El duque de Rivas, Juan Arolas, Eugenio de Ochoa, Ceferino Suarez Bravo, Adolfo de Castro y Rossi, Francisco Muñoz y Ruiz, Pedro Maria Barrera y Blanca de los Rios, eruditos destacados de su tiempo, exponen, a traves de ocho poemas de tipo narrativo, el ascenso y caida del maestre de Santiago y condestable de don Juan II de Castilla, en momentos convulsos, de enfrentamiento, cambios de gobierno o exaltacion popular.Con este monografico se ofrece un estudio previo que contextualiza la creacion de dichas composiciones y el sentido de las obras en sus circunstancias de difusion, asi como una edicion critica y anotada, con la que se fijan unos textos que informan de la evolucion del verso narrativo que reescribe la cronologia de don Alvaro de Luna en clave politica en el siglo XIX.

El Archivo Simón Ruiz, crucial para entender la actividad económica y financiera a mediados del siglo XVI, alberga la correspondencia entre el que fuera corregidor de Medina del Campo y uno de los hombres de negocios mas importantes en la epoca de Felipe II, y la familia Gomes de Elvas. Los inicios comerciales de esta familia se gestaron en la ciudad fronteriza que da nombre a su linaje. Las fuentes documentales consultadas en esta localidad y las cartas remitidas a Medina del Campo permiten reconstruir el camino que condujo a los Gomes de Elvas a convertirse en una de las casas de negocios mas importantes de Portugal.Este libro va mas alla de una perspectiva meramente economica y ahonda en los estudios de familia y empresa, analizando el comportamiento de la familia Gomes de Elvas y sus estrategias empresariales, un camino que no solo los condujo al exito economico, sino tambien al ennoblecimiento de varios de sus miembros. Este hito es especialmente relevante, pues su exito se consumo con la obtencion de un prestigioso oficio, como es el de correo mayor, que se transformara en un cargo hereditario con el que asegurar el estatus economico y su influencia social a lo largo de diversas generaciones.
