Pamela G. Smart, "Sacred Modern: Faith, Activism, and Aesthetics in the Menil Collection"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0292737580, 0292723334 | PDF | pages: 295 | 14.3 mb
Renowned as one of the most significant museums built by private collectors, the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas, seeks to engage viewers in an acutely aesthetic, rather than pedagogical, experience of works of art. The Menil's emphasis on being moved by art, rather than being taught art history, comes from its founders' conviction that art offers a way to reintegrate the sacred and the secular worlds. Inspired by the French Catholic revivalism of the interwar years that recast Catholic tradition as the avant-garde, Dominique and John de Menil shared with other Catholic intellectuals a desire to reorder a world in crisis by imbuing modern cultural forms with religious faith, binding the sacred with the modern. Sacred Modern explores how the Menil Collection gives expression to the religious and political convictions of its founders and how "the Menil way" is being both perpetuated and contested as the Museum makes the transition from operating under the personal direction of Dominique de Menil to the stewardship of career professionals. Taking an ethnographic approach, Pamela G. Smart analyzes the character of the Menil aesthetic, the processes by which it is produced, and the sensibilities that it is meant to generate in those who engage with the collection. She also offers insight into the extraordinary impact Dominique and John de Menil had on the emergence of Houston as a major cultural center.

Robert Hooke: Tercentennial Studies By Michael Hunter, Michael Cooper (editor)
2006 | 360 Pages | ISBN: 075465365X | PDF | 18 MB
Robert Hooke (1635-1703) was a genius whose wide-ranging achievements are at last receiving the recognition that they deserve. Long overshadowed by such eminent contemporaries as Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Christopher Wren, Hooke's own seminal contributions to science, architecture and technology are now being acclaimed in their own right. Curator of Experiments to the Royal Society when it was chartered in 1662 and author of the famous Micrographia (1665), Hooke also showed unparalleled ingenuity in designing machines and instruments, and played a crucial role as Surveyor to the City of London after the Great Fire. This volume represents a benchmark in the study of Hooke, bringing together a comprehensive set of studies of different aspects of his life, thought and artistry. Its sections deal with Hooke's life and reputation; his contributions to celestial mechanics and astronomy, and to speculative natural philosophy; the instruments that he designed; and his work in architecture and construction. The introduction places the studies in the context of our current understanding of Hooke and his milieu, while the book also contains a comprehensive bibliography. In all, it will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in a figure whose complexity and importance are becoming clear after centuries of neglect.

Noreen Herzfeld, "Religion and the New Technologies"
English | 2017 | pages: 144 | ISBN: 3038425303 | PDF | 7,8 mb
In April 2000, Bill Joy, co-founder and chief scientist at Sun Microsystems published a controversial article entitled "Why the Future Does not Need Us." Joy called for a moratorium on research in three new technological fields-artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and genetic engineering. He noted that, while we were poised to make rapid technological advances in each of these areas, our understanding of the ethical questions these technologies would inevitably raise was lagging far behind. The intervening years since Joy's warning have indeed brought significant advances in each of these fields, advancements that have huge implications for how human life will unfold. Each holds great promise-for new medical cures, for new materials and machines, and for new insights into our world. However, each of these technologies also brings the possibility of great peril. For good or ill, these technologies will change the way we work, live, think, and love. Thus, it makes sense to approach them from a religious perspective. How do these new technologies change our understanding of ourselves, our place in the world, our relationships to one another, the way we face death, or our relationship to God?

Irene Bueno, Barbara Bombi, Mike Carr, "Pope Benedict XII (1334-1342): The Guardian of Orthodoxy"
English | 2018 | pages: 278 | ISBN: 9462986770 | PDF | 2,2 mb
This book offers a unique overview on the career and work on Benedict XII, the third pope of Avignon. Benedict XII (ca. 1334-1342) was a key figure of the Avignon papal court, renowned for rooting out heretics and distinguishing himself as a refined theologian. During his reign, he faced the most significant religious and political challenges in the era of the Avignon papacy: theological quarrels, divisions and schisms within the Church, conflicts between European sovereigns, and the growth of Turkish power in the East. In spite of its diminished political influence, the papacy, which had recently moved to France, emerged as an institution committed to the defense and expansion of the Catholic faith in Europe and the East. Benedict made significant contributions to the definition of doctrine, the assessment of pontifical power in Western Europe, and the expansion of Catholicism in the East: in all these different contexts he distinguished himself as a true guardian of orthodoxy.

Dirk Liesemer, Peter Lewis, "Phantom Islands: In Search of Mythical Lands"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1912208326 | 155 pages | EPUB | 0.8 MB
From the famed Atlantis to the remote Rupes Nigra, islands have long held our fascination: they are locales isolated from ordinary life, lurking in unexplored corners of the globe and thus full of undisclosed mysteries. At times, however, our fascination with islands has bled into reality, as real maps bear the coordinates of fictional lands and travelogues tell tall tales of their inhabitants, their natural wonders, or their treasures. In Phantom Islands, Dirk Liesemer tells the stories of thirty of these fantastical islands. Beginning with their supposed discovery, he recreates their fabled landscapes, the voyages that attempted to verify their existence, and, ultimately, the moment when their existence was finally disproven. Spanning oceans and centuries, these curious tales are a chronicle of human lust for discovery and wealth.

David C Bienert, Joachim Jeska, Thomas Witulski, "Paulus und die antike Welt: Beitrage zur zeit- und religionsgeschichtlichen Erforschung des paulinischen Christentums"
English | 2008 | pages: 241 | ISBN: 3525530889 | PDF | 2,8 mb
English summary: This volume contains twelve essays in Honour of Dietrich-Alex Koch on the subject of Paul and his communities in their social and religious historical context. German text. German description: In welchem Verhaltnis standen die ersten heidenchristlichen Gemeinden zu ihrer heidnischen Umwelt? "Die Christen waren nicht voll integriert und auch nicht voll integrierbar in die antike Gesellschaft" - so formulierte es vor wenigen Jahren der Munsteraner Neutestamentler Dietrich-Alex Koch, der sich im Rahmen seiner langjahrigen Forschungstatigkeit intensiv mit Person und Werk des Apostels Paulus sowie mit dessen Spuren in der antiken Welt auseinandergesetzt hat. Dieser Beobachtung zum Trotz sind die Botschaft des Paulus und das Leben der fruhen Christengemeinden nicht ohne das Wissen um deren antike Verankerung - im hellenistischen Judentum sowie in der hellenistisch-romischen Gesellschaft und Kultur - zu verstehen. Anlasslich des 65. Geburtstages von Dietrich-Alex Koch und seiner Verabschiedung aus dem aktiven Hochschuldienst melden sich Schuler und Weggefahrten zu Wort, um an einzelnen Beispielen die Grenzen und die Bedeutung religions- und zeitgeschichtlicher Erforschung des Neuen Testaments auszuloten. Abschliessend wird die gegenwartige Bedeutung von Werk und Person des Apostels im schulischen Religionsunterricht reflektiert. Dabei spiegelt die hier vertretene Reichhaltigkeit der Zugange zugleich auch die Breite der Interessensgebiete des Jubilars wider.

On Disney: Deconstructing Images, Tropes and Narratives
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3662646242 | 248 Pages | PDF (True) | 7 MB
Disney - This name stands not only for a company that has had global reach from its early days, but also for a successful aesthetic programme and ideological positions that have had great commercial success but at the same time have been frequently criticised. Straddling traditionalism and modernism, Disney productions have proven adaptable to social discourses and technical and media developments throughout its history. This volume brings together scholars from several European countries to explore various dimensions that constitute 'Disney.' In line with current media and cultural studies research, the chapters deal with human-human and human-animal relations, gender and diversity, iconic characters and narratives, Disney's contribution to cultural and visual heritage, and transmedial and transfictional spaces of experience and practices of participation associated with Disney story worlds.

Nubia, Ethiopia, and the Crusading World, 1095-1402 (Advances in Crusades Research) by Adam Simmons
English | September 16, 2022 | ISBN: 0367481219 | True EPUB/PDF | 252 pages | 6.2/9.9 MB
The Crusades had a wide variety of impacts on societies throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. One such notable impact was its role in the development of knowledge between cultures. This book argues that the Nubian kingdom of Dotawo and the Latin Christians became increasingly more connected between the twelfth and early fourteenth centuries than has been acknowledged. Subsequently, when Solomonic Ethiopian-Latin Christian diplomatic relations began in 1402, they were building on the prior connections of Nubia, either wittingly or unwittingly: Ethiopia became the 'Ethiopia' that the Latin Christians had previously been aiming to develop relations with. The histories of Nubia, Ethiopia, and the Crusades were directly and indirectly entwined between the twelfth century and 1402.
