Mysticism in Twentieth-Century Hebrew Literature - Hamutal Bar Yosef - Bog - Academic Studies Press - Plusbog.dk

Mysticism in Twentieth-Century Hebrew Literature - Hamutal Bar Yosef - Bog - Academic Studies Press - Plusbog.dk

Challenging the notion that Jewish mysticism ceased to exist in the Hassidic enclaves of early nineteenth century Europe, Hamutal Bar-Yosef delves into the mystical elements of twentieth-century Israeli literature. Exploring themes such as unity, death, and sex, Bar-Yosef traces the influence and the trends towards secular mysticism found in Russian, Yiddish, and early Hebrew writers, and examines the impact of Zionism in creating a modern, living mystical literature.

Jewish-Christian Dialogues on Scripture in Late Antiquity - Michal (ben Gurion University Of The Negev Bar Asher Siegal - Bog - Cambridge University

Jewish-Christian Dialogues on Scripture in Late Antiquity - Michal (ben Gurion University Of The Negev Bar Asher Siegal - Bog - Cambridge University

Stories portraying heretics (''minim'') in rabbinic literature are a central site of rabbinic engagement with the ''other''. These stories typically involve a conflict over the interpretation of a biblical verse in which the rabbinic figure emerges victorious in the face of a challenge presented by the heretic. In this book, Michal Bar-Asher Siegal focuses on heretic narratives of the Babylonian Talmud that share a common literary structure, strong polemical language and the formula, ''Fool, look to the end of the verse''. She marshals previously untapped Christian materials to arrive at new interpretations of familiar texts and illuminate the complex relationship between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity. Bar-Asher Siegal argues that these Talmudic literary creations must be seen as part of a boundary-creating discourse that clearly distinguishes the rabbinic position from that of contemporaneous Christians and adds to a growing understanding of the rabbinic authors'' familiarity with Christian traditions.

Bar Codes - Jean Mckenzie Leiper - Bog - University of British Columbia Press - Plusbog.dk

tml Bar Codes examines women lawyers'' attempts to reconciletheir professional obligations with other aspects of their lives. Itcharts the life courses of women who constitute a first wave -- anavant-garde -- in a profession designed by men, for men, where formalcodes of conduct and subtle cultural norms promote masculine values. Athorough analysis of women’s encounters with this cultureprovides some answers and raises more questions about the kinds ofstresses that have become extreme in the lives of many Canadianwomen. This book adds to mounting evidence of marked gender differences inopportunities for advancement, demonstrating that many men still enjoyfreedom from domestic responsibilities while women continue to facemultiple barriers in their quest for career success. As this studyshows, change is under way in the legal profession and women cansucceed in reaching high levels within it, but the law remains, in manyways, a masculine institution.

How Slavoj Became Zizek - Eliran Bar El - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

How Slavoj Became Zizek - Eliran Bar El - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

An engrossing account of the meteoric rise of contemporary philosophy’s most contentious and prolific intellectual. This revised edition corrects several erroneous and insufficient references in the first edition of this book. Slovenian philosopher bad boy Slavoj Žižek is one of the most famous intellectuals of our time, publishing at a breakneck speed and lecturing around the world. With his unmistakable speaking style and set of mannerisms that have made him ripe material for internet humor and meme culture, he is recognizable to a wide spectrum of fans and detractors. But how did an intellectual from a small Eastern European country come to such popular notoriety? In How Slavoj Became Žižek, sociologist Eliran Bar-El plumbs the emergence, popularization, and development of the phenomenon called “Žižek.” Beginning with Žižek’s early years as a thinker and political figure in Slovenian civil society, Bar-El traces Žižek’s rise from Marxist philosopher to political candidate to eventual intellectual celebrity, as Žižek perfected his unique performative style and a rhetorical arsenal of “Hegelacanese.” Following 9/11, Žižek’s career as a global op-ed writer and TV commentator married his rhetoric with global events such as the war on terror, the financial crisis of 2008, and the Arab Spring of 2011. Yet, at the same time, this mainstream popularity, as well as a series of politically incorrect views, almost entirely estranged the Slovenian from the normal workings of academia. Ultimately, this account shows how Žižek has harnessed the power of the digital era in his own self-fashioning as a public intellectual.

Shared Beliefs in a Society - Daniel Bar Tal - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Shared Beliefs in a Society - Daniel Bar Tal - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

...carefully argued, this book will have special appeal to graduate students, faculty, social psychologists (notably those yearning for Lewinian Approaches), and group-oriented sociologists. —Choice What kind of shared beliefs in a society are of importance to social systems? What functions do they fulfill? How are they informed and disseminated? What are the societal consequences of shared beliefs? All of these questions are addressed in this book in which Daniel Bar-Tal develops the notion of societal psychology, which he states can contribute a social-psychological perspective to the study of a wide range of social problems in a society. He shows how societal psychology can fulfill the promise of early social psychologists by directing attention to the societal and cultural contexts in which individuals live and by examining the reciprocal influence between these contexts and individuals. In this comprehensive volume, four themes of societal belief: patriotism, security, siege mentality, and deligitimization, are examined through well-defined examples and systematic analysis. Researchers, students and practitioners in social psychology, sociology, political science and anthropology will be stimulated and engaged by this important contribution to the field.

A Comedian and an Activist Walk into a Bar - Caty Borum Chattoo - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

"A comprehensive and insightful examination of the ways comedy can help shape social justice movements."––Hasan Minhaj, Comedian and Host of the Netflix series Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj Comedy is a powerful contemporary source of influence and information. In the still-evolving digital era, the opportunity to consume and share comedy has never been as available. And yet, despite its vast cultural imprint, comedy is a little-understood vehicle for serious public engagement in urgent social justice issues – even though humor offers frames of hope and optimism that can encourage participation in social problems. Moreover, in the midst of a merger of entertainment and news in the contemporary information ecology, and a decline in perceptions of trust in government and traditional media institutions, comedy may be a unique force for change in pressing social justice challenges. Comedians who say something serious about the world while they make us laugh are capable of mobilizing the masses, focusing a critical lens on injustices, and injecting hope and optimism into seemingly hopeless problems. By combining communication and social justice frameworks with contemporary comedy examples, authors Caty Borum Chattoo and Lauren Feldman show us how comedy can help to serve as a vehicle of change. Through rich case studies, audience research, and interviews with comedians and social justice leaders and strategists, A Comedian and an Activist Walk Into a Bar: The Serious Role of Comedy in Social Justice explains how comedy – both in the entertainment marketplace and as cultural strategy – can engage audiences with issues such as global poverty, climate change, immigration, and sexual assault, and how activists work with comedy to reach and empower publics in the networked, participatory digital media age.
