Globalizing the Sacred

Globalizing the Sacred

Manuel A. Vásquez; Marie F. Marquardt

Rutgers University Press
2003
nidottu
French and German tourists join Mexican migrant workers to venerate the image of the Virgin Mary at a strip mall in Florida; Latino gang members, deported from the United States to home countries they barely know, find Jesus in transnational churches; U.S. evangelicals use electronic media to preach a “neo liberal” gospel of wealth and health to landless peasants in remote indigenous villages in Guatemala. These are just some examples of how religion in the Americas today intersects in complex ways with the economic, political, and cultural dimensions of globalization.Drawing on case studies in the United States and Latin America, Manuel A. Vásquez and Marie Friedmann Marquardt explore the evolving roles of religion in the Americas in the face of globalization, transnational migration, the rapid growth of culture industries, the rise of computer mediated technologies, and the crisis of modernity. Combining ethnographic research in local congregations, studies of material culture and sacred space, textual analyses, and approaches to mass and electronic media, the authors challenge dominant paradigms in sociology of religion, such as the secularization and rational choice models. Further, the book offers alternative theoretical and methodological tools to understand the increasing complexity of religious life in the Americas.By illustratingthe challenges that scholars and students must confront in order to understand the complexity of today’s religious landscape, Globalizing the Sacred makes both important theoretical and methodological contributions to the study of religion’s role in social change.

Oil and gas environmental ecology

Oil and gas environmental ecology

Yury I Pikovskiy; Nariman M Ismailov; Marina F Doro?hova

Academus Publishing, Inc.
2019
pokkari
This book covers the fundamental problems of the interaction of hydrocarbons with biosphere. Hydrocarbons are the global phenomenon of our planet. In the biosphere, hydrocarbons are ubiquitous, and appear in a variety of forms. Hydrocarbons in the form of oil and gas have been released from Earth's core to its surface for thousands of years, nevertheless, no evidence exists that in the early days hydrocarbons were antagonists of the biosphere. In ancient times, humans perceived numerous oil occurrences as part of the environment. Since the 20th century, the humanity's demand for fuel and energy and chemical resources has grown continuously. Oil and hydrocarbon were found on all inhabited continents and under the surrounding seas more often. The expansion of hydrocarbons into the biosphere has gradually come into collision with the naturally established ecological balances. Oil, natural gas, and products of their processing have had a pervasive negative impact on the components of the environment. The global nature of these processes has made oil and gas environmental ecology a pressing scientific challenge, addressing all others areas of ecology.

Die Bedeutung sozialer Medien f r Unternehmen ist in k rzester Zeit immens gewachsen, sodass sich Unternehmen immer h ufiger in sozialen Medien engagieren m ssen, um konkurrenzf hig zu bleiben. Zwar haben einige Unternehmen diverse Social Media Aktivit ten erfolgreich in ihre Marketingma nahmen integriert, jedoch fehlt den meisten Unternehmen eine klare strategische Ausrichtung. Gegenstand einer Social Media Strategie sind zum einen die Auswahl eines geeigneten Kommunikationsinhalts sowie zum anderen die Wahl des Medientyps, um Botschaften an die Zielgruppe zu bermitteln. Das Ziel der Autoren des vorliegenden Buches besteht darin, den Zusammenhang zwischen der inhaltlichen Ausgestaltung von unternehmens-, blogger- und nutzergenerierten Social Media-Beitr gen und dem Konsumentenverhalten zu ermitteln. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wird ein Modell entwickelt, in welchem der Einfluss von Medientyp (Unternehmen bzw. Blogger) und Kommunikationsinhalt (emotional bzw. informativ) auf die Glaubw rdigkeit, das Entertainment und den Informationsgehalt im Mittelpunkt stehen. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse einer empirischen Studie zeigen die Verfasser des Buches geeignete Strategien zur Beeinflussung des Informationsverarbeitungsprozesses des Nachfragers durch Social Media Aktivit ten auf.

Now in its fourth edition, The Brain and Behavior introduces the field of neurobiology of human behavior to a wide audience, from graduate students to professionals in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and neurology. This comprehensive resource focuses on locating human behaviors to specific regions of the brain, aiming to make a complex topic visually accessible through the inclusion of clear and focused illustrations. This important new edition emphasises recent developments in our understanding of the human brain which have emerged from imaging studies. The text also features patient case histories with documented anatomical evidence, tying the science with actual clinical examples, making it the most accessible book for medical practitioners of all levels. The collaboration between a neuropsychiatrist, a behavioral neurologist, and a neuroanatomist has resulted in a book which synthesizes the complex and evolving information on the neurobiology of human behavior, and presents it in an eminently readable volume.

Televised Redemption

Televised Redemption

Carolyn Moxley Rouse; John L. Jackson Jr.; Marla F. Frederick

New York University Press
2016
pokkari
How Black Christians, Muslims, and Jews have used media to prove their equality, not only in the eyes of God but in society. The institutional structures of white supremacy—slavery, Jim Crow laws, convict leasing, and mass incarceration—require a commonsense belief that black people lack the moral and intellectual capacities of white people. It is through this lens of belief that racial exclusions have been justified and reproduced in the United States. Televised Redemption argues that African American religious media has long played a key role in humanizing the race by unabashedly claiming that blacks are endowed by God with the same gifts of goodness and reason as whites—if not more, thereby legitimizing black Americans' rights to citizenship. If racism is a form of perception, then religious media has not only altered how others perceive blacks, but has also altered how blacks perceive themselves. Televised Redemption argues that black religious media has provided black Americans with new conceptual and practical tools for how to be in the world, and changed how black people are made intelligible and recognizable as moral citizens. In order to make these claims to black racial equality, this media has encouraged dispositional changes in adherents that were at times empowering and at other times repressive. From Christian televangelism to Muslim periodicals to Hebrew Israelite radio, Televised Redemption explores the complicated but critical redemptive history of African American religious media.

A History of Modern Japanese Aesthetics

A History of Modern Japanese Aesthetics

Marra Michael F.

UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I PRESS
2001
sidottu
This collection of essays constitutes the first history of modern Japanese aesthetics in any language. It introduces readers through lucid and readable translations to works on the philosophy of art written by major Japanese thinkers from the late nineteenth century to the present. Selected from a variety of sources (monographs, journals, catalogues), the essays cover topics related to the study of beauty in art and nature.The translations are organized into four parts. The first, ""The Introduction of Aesthetics,"" traces the formation of notions of ""beauty,"" ""culture,"" and ""art"" in Japan. It includes discussion of the creation of the museum in Japan and the frenetic efforts of Nishi Amane, Okakura Tenshin, Ernest Fenollosa, and Mori Ogai to introduce German, British, and French aesthetic thought to the Japanese. This is followed by three sections that examine the transformation of the aesthetic field into an academic discipline that flourished at three major Japanese universities.""Aesthetics at Waseda University"" begins with an essay on the spiritualism and idealism of Onishi Hajime and continues with essays on the impact of German Lebensphilosophie (""philosophy of life"") on Shimamura Hogetsu and Takayama Chogyu, and work by the major Waseda aesthetician of the twentieth century, Aizu Yaichi. Thinkers of the Tokyo School adopted a ""scientific"" method in the study of art theory. Part 3, ""Aesthetics at the University of Tokyo,"" focuses on the ideas of Otsuka Yasuji (holder of the world’s first Chair of Aesthetics), Onishi Yoshinori, Watsuji Tetsuro, Abe Jiro, Takeuchi Toshio, and Imamichi Tomonobu. The section concludes with a look at the contemporary philosopher Sakabe Megumi. The last section, ""Aesthetics at the University of Kyoto,"" includes essays on Nakagawa Shigeki and Fukada Yasukazu, pioneers in the field of aesthetics, and on the philosophy of art of the ""Kyoto School,"" which was deeply inspired by the thought of Nishida Kitaro. Finally the work of Kuki Shuzo, an influential teacher of Western philosophy at the University of Kyoto, is examined.A History of Modern Japanese Aesthetics is a companion volume to Modern Japanese Aesthetics: A Reader (UH Press, 1999).
