 Free Download MaryEllen Higgins, "The Western in the Global South " English | ISBN: 1138843121 | 2015 | 264 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 2 MB The Western in the Global South investigates the Western film genre's impact, migrations, and reconfigurations in the Global South. Contributors explore how cosmopolitan directors have engaged with, appropriated, and subverted the tropes and conventions of Hollywood and Italian Westerns, and how Global South Westerns and Post-Westerns in particular address the inequities brought about by postcolonial patriarchy, globalization and neoliberalism. The book offers a wide range of historical engagements with the genre, from African, Caribbean, South and Southeast Asian, Central and South American, and transnational directors. The contributors employ interdisciplinary cultural studies approaches to cinema, integrating aesthetic considerations with historical, political, and gender studies readings of the international appropriations and U.S. re-appropriations of the Western genre.

Free Download Nicolas Tackett, "The Origins of the Chinese Nation: Song China and the Forging of an East Asian World Order" English | ISBN: 1107196779 | 2017 | 342 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB In this major new study, Nicolas Tackett proposes that the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) witnessed both the maturation of an East Asian inter-state system and the emergence of a new worldview and sense of Chinese identity among educated elites. These developments together had sweeping repercussions for the course of Chinese history, while also demonstrating that there has existed in world history a viable alternative to the modern system of nation-states. Utilising a wide array of historical, literary, and archaeological sources, chapters focus on diplomatic sociability, cosmopolitan travel, military strategy, border demarcation, ethnic consciousness, and the cultural geography of Northeast Asia. In this ground breaking new approach to the history of the East Asian inter-state system, Tackett argues for a concrete example of a pre-modern nationalism, explores the development of this nationalism, and treats modern nationalism as just one iteration of a phenomenon with a much longer history.  Free Download The Next Industrial Revolution: A New Age for Innovation in Industry (388 Pages) by Vincent Petit English | 2023 | ISBN: 1800613652 | 389 pages | True PDF | 18.22 MB  Free Download The Learning and Teaching of Calculus; Ideas, Insights and Activities by John Monaghan English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032069732 | 304 pages | True PDF | 9.02 MB  Free Download John Frederick, "The HTML of Cruciform Love" English | ISBN: 1532609388 | 2019 | 208 pages | AZW3 | 458 KB The topic of the Internet is vastly underrepresented in the current literature on the intersection of technology and theology. Studies on Internet theology are certainly viewed as a topic of ""special interest,"" relevant-it might be thought-only to eccentric academics and tech geeks. Yet, this book contends that there is no topic more pertinent to our daily walk as contemporary followers of Jesus Christ than the theological implications of the Internet. The twelve essays of this volume, though standalone pieces, also work in conjunction to investigate the themes of community and character formation in the digital realm. A host of interrelated sub-themes are represented in the book, including the application of patristic theology to contemporary Internet praxis, a demonology of the Internet, virtue ethics in cyberspace, and studies that consider the implications of Internet technology on aesthetics, personhood, and the self. Together, the chapters work toward a collaborative, constructive, cruciform theology of the Internet. The Internet is more than a supplementary component to our personal lives; rather, it is a medium of vital connection for the digital communion of the saints through the HTML of cruciform love. ""This book is a beautiful example of theological exploration on a component central to the lives of so many people: the internet. The essays diverge in various ways, some more appreciative of the internet's impact on theology and religious life, others more leery. Those who take theology seriously in an age of internet need to reckon with the powerful ideas in this fine collection!"" -Thomas Jay Oord, author of God Can't, The Uncontrolling Love of God ""Through a set of intelligent, well-crafted, and stimulating essays representing a diversity of views, the volume offers constructive tools for a critically faithful Christian engagement with the internet. Ranging from biblical exegesis to political theology and social ethics, Clement of Alexandria to Luther and Levinas, The HTML of Cruciform Love is necessary reading, and should be put in the hands of every seminarian and church leader."" -Ephraim Radner, Wycliffe College ""This is a very timely and thought-provoking volume. Theologians formed before the internet even took its hold on contemporary culture will do well to attend to its messages. For there is no reason in principle, of course, why theology of the most demanding and life-changing sort should not be purveyed via this medium, and with great and widespread influence; the problem then is one of discernment, of ascetic choices which the internet as a whole requires of us. The contributors to this exploratory volume are well aware of this challenge and provide rich and reflective essays in response to it."" -Sarah Coakley, University of Cambridge and Australian Catholic University, Melbourne ""Drawn from various perspectives- at times in a 'point' and 'counter-point' sequence- this volume combines robust theological reflection with proactive practices to guide followers of Jesus in this emerging world."" -Glenn Packiam, pastor, author of Discover the Mystery of Faith John Frederick is a lecturer in New Testament at Trinity College Queensland. He is the author of Worship in the Way of the Cross (2017). Eric Lewellen is an account manager at Vercross LLC. |
