What is power, and what is the crowd? How do the two relate to each other? Crowds and Power is a striking and unclassifiable study of how human beings behave in groups and how collective forces shape history. Rejecting conventional sociology, 1981 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Elias Canetti creates a unique framework that draws on anthropology, mythology, psychology, history, psychoanalysis and literature to explain why crowds form, how they act and what makes them so powerful. Drawing on his experiences in Vienna in the 1930s and a range of material spanning centuries and every continent, Canetti offers insights into the psychology of the crowd, the variety of religious experience, the paranoia of rulers and the pathology of power. A visionary and provocative book, Crowds and Power is a major work illuminating the forces driving mass movements and offers one of the most profound and startling portraits of the human condition ever written.

Finding Gods Grace Through Lament "I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me."Psalm 77:1 What do we do with our pain? So much in our world is simply not right: Disease. Death. Destruction. But we dont have to look to the news to know that things arent okay. Our neighborhoods, our churches, and even our families ache with the everyday troubles of this life. Whether our response is rage or tears or numbness, the Bible offers an avenue for our pain: lament.In Crying Out to God, Wendy Alsup uses psalms of lament to give words to our often-wordless cries.

Youll find that God has not left you to journey through the darkness alone.

Una estimulante y sagaz reflexión sobre el sentido del pensar filosófico.En 2001 una productora de televisión argentina le propuso a Dardo Scavino escribir el guión de los catorce capítulos de una serie que tratase de responder a la pregunta ¿Que es la filosofia?. El autor propuso matizarla y cambiarla por ¿Que hace la filosofia?. Llego la crisis economica y el proyecto se abandono. Quedaron un centenar de paginas de esbozos, guardadas en un cajon. Olvidadas, hasta que, pasados los años, Scavino decidio echarles un vistazo.Este es el origen de este libro, que traslada aquella idea al papel. Partiendo de la imagen de Querefonte, el amigo de Socrates, recorriendo el camino entre Delfos y Atenas, los catorce capitulos explican que filosofar no consiste en elaborar grandes teorias acerca de lo divino y lo humano. El quehacer fundamental de la filosofia consiste mas bien en la escucha de los otros para extraer de sus discursos las reglas que los gobiernan.Asi, de la mayeutica socratica a la arqueologia de Foucault, el autor recorre el pensamiento de Vico, Kant, Wollstonecraft, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger o Wittgenstein para explorar la relacion de la filosofia con el lenguaje. De diferentes maneras, todos estos pensadores entendieron que esas normas tacitas constituyen el autentico poder de cualquier sociedad humana. Su psicagogia, como la llama Platon.Evocando escenas de la literatura y el cine, historias de filosofos y anecdotas personales, este Curso defilosofia se propone demostrar por que la disciplina no es una ciencia de objetos, sino de sujetos sometidos a gramaticas que rigen nuestras maneras de vivir y pensar. El resultado es una estimulante y sagaz reflexion sobre el sentido del pensar filosofico que no es ni predicacion ni militancia y por que este sigue siendo necesario en el presente.

Há momentos na vida em que tudo parece nos definir pelo passado, pelas falhas, pelas limitações. Mas e se o que nos torna improváveis for exatamente o que Deus quer usar para nos tornar inesquecíveis

A work of art is a strange thing. It can carry us to the soaring peaks of beauty or drag us all the way down to the burning depths of depravity. We often treat artworks as sacred, almost ethereal. But they are an intimate piece of this world - born from the hands of geniuses, and from the hands of monsters.What makes an artwork immoral? Why do these troubling creations have such a hold on us? And how should we deal with them?We live in a moment when the dangers of art seem more prevalent than ever: artists are cancelled for their misdeeds, public statues are toppled, images of violence and obscenity await us at the touch of a button. But as this provocative new history demonstrates, we humans have always used art to make sense of the less innocent aspects of ourselves and the world around us.In Depraved, philosopher of art Daisy Dixon takes the reader on a journey through some of the most volatile and contentious works ever produced - from prehistoric sculpture to extreme metal music, Renaissance paintings to videogames. She reveals how beautiful art can sometimes be the most insidious, and why the greatest threat might lie in our own judgements about the art we censor or condemn.Above all, Dixon builds a powerful case for returning the terrible gaze of our disturbing creations, showing how we can confront them head-on and tame their toxic effects.

Los datos ms recientes confirman que la violencia machista entre las nuevas generaciones ha crecido de manera alarmante y con fuerza renovada, al tiempo que el entorno digital, con sus nuevas plataformas, est causando daos irreparables en miles de jvenes y menores. Cuarenta aos despus de la primera campaa institucional contra la violencia de gnero en Espaa, de miles de minutos de silencio, legislacin, sistemas de proteccin y enconados debates, la vieja-nueva violencia contra las mujeres sigue siendo una lacra insoportable. Despus del minuto de silencio pone voz a quienes casi nunca la tienen: las familias de las mujeres asesinadas. Madres, padres, hijas, hijos, hermanos y abuelas que sobreviven al crimen y cargan con un duelo imposible, con la culpa, el miedo, la soledad y la responsabilidad de seguir viviendo. A travs de testimonios desgarradores y profundamente humanos, Elena Valenciano y Soraya Rodrguez nos llevan al da despus del asesinato: al vaco que deja una hija, una hermana o una madre; a la indiferencia institucional; a la revictimizacin y al silencio social que a veces roza la complicidad. Este libro es un acto de memoria, justicia y denuncia. Un relato coral que devuelve nombre, rostro e historia a quienes fueron reducidas a una estadstica y que confronta, sin concesiones, el negacionismo y la banalizacin de la violencia de gnero. Leer estas pginas es escuchar lo que no queremos or sobre la violencia machista. Solo asumindola en su terrible dimensin es posible que el minuto de silencio no sea el final, sino el comienzo de algo mejor.

Including People with Disabilities Is Essential to Your Churchs Witness God wants people of all abilities to be active participants in his kingdom. But churches have not always made it clear that people with disabilities are both part of Gods story and fully welcome in their communities. If the church is to be a credible witness, it must reach and include people with disabilities within its evangelism, mission, and everyday life.In Disability and Evangelism, Rochelle Scheuermann casts a vision for including people with disabilities in all aspects of evangelism, from how we understand and tell the gospel story, to how we evangelize to and with people with disabilities. This groundbreaking book invites us to reshape our evangelism theology and practice so that people with disabilities are central in all we think, say, and do. Scheuermann uncovers how Gods story in Scripture responds to the complexities of disability and provides both the means and message to share good news among people of all abilities. She then explores issues of evangelism practice, including how we understand conversion, an expanded understanding of accommodation, and pursuing interdependence in ministry.In Disability and Evangelism, you will gain a biblical understanding of both disability and evangelism; hear stories from people with a range of disabilities; study evangelism practices that go beyond traditional approaches that are key for doing evangelism with and among people with disabilities; understand why many people with disabilities feel excluded from and do not attend church; and engage with discussion questions in each chapter. This book shows how the gospel really is good news for people of all abilities. Understanding and embracing disability is not only a matter of compassion and justice. People with disabilities will help the church to counteract faulty visions of power, autonomy, and self-promotion and to encounter the good news of Jesus more deeply. If youre looking for a resource that invites people with disabilities to be both recipients and active participants in Gods mission, Disability and Evangelism is for you.About the Series Center for Disability and Ministry books explore the intersection of disability and practical theology in partnership with the Center for Disability and Ministry at Western Theological Seminary. Co-edited by Benjamin T. Conner and John Swinton, this series explores key issues in disability theology through the framework of practical theology, aiming to increase knowledge as well as faithfully impact Christian practice.

From Transactional Faith to Transformational Life in Christ Are you tired of feeling stuck in your faith? Do you long for real, lasting spiritual transformation that feels relational rather than formulaic? Like many Christians, you may feel as if youre living in a cycle of fits and starts, seeking to grow closer to God but feeling disillusioned in your faith. In a culture of hustle and hurry, maybe you long to trade a transactional faith for a transformational relationship with God.In Dwelling in Christ, Jonathan R. Bailey reintroduces the Threefold Wayan ancient, time-tested path of Christian spirituality. Moving beyond quick fixes and performance-based faith, this well-worn path offers a practical movement through three stages for growing in Christlikeness over a lifetime.Discover anew how to walk the Threefold Way: Purgation: Learn to release the harmful and unloving things that pull you away from God. Illumination: Dwell more deeply in Gods presence as you intentionally and gradually align your heart more and more with his. Union: Experience an ever-deepening friendship with God that increasingly transforms you into Christlikeness from the inside out. Aided by the wisdom of ancient monastics, contemporary theologians, and thoughtful reflections on his own spiritual journey, Bailey invites you to trade the illusion of control for the reality of love. In continuity with spiritual voices such as Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, this book offers a hopeful and practical way of life through retrieving a framework reaching back into the earliest centuries of the church. With Dwelling in Christ, be free from chasing quick fixes and enter the steady, lifelong journey of becoming like Christ.
