Luke and the Jewish Other Politics of Identity in the Third Gospel

Luke and the Jewish Other takes up the debated question of the orientation of Luke toward the Jewish people. Building on recent studies in the social history of early Jewish-Christian relations it offers an analysis of Luke’s portrayal of Jewish and Christian identities that challenges the common assumption that the construction of religious identity in antiquity necessarily depended upon antagonistic relations with others. Taking account of the deep and often divisive difference that belief in Jesus made in Luke’s community the author argues that Luke hoped to bring about both a rapprochement with and the conversion of contemporary Jews. Through this account of identity and alterity in the Gospel of Luke the book cuts across boundaries of biblical studies history theology and social theory proposing a way forward for the study of Luke’s relation to Judaism and of the parting of the ways between Jews and Christians in the early Common Era. | Luke and the Jewish Other Politics of Identity in the Third Gospel

Selected Letters of Vernon Lee 1856–1935 1890-1896

Vernon Lee was the chosen name of Violet Paget (1856–1935) a prolific author best known for her supernatural fiction and her radical polemics. She was also an active letter writer whose correspondents include many well-known figures in fin de siècle intellectual circles across Europe. This multi-volume scholarly edition presents a comprehensive selection of her English French Italian and German correspondence — compiled from more than 30 archives worldwide — that reflect her wide variety of interests and occupations as a Woman of Letters philosopher psychologist and political activist. Letters written in a language other than English have been expertly translated by scholars Sophie Geoffroy (from the French) Crystal Hall (from the Italian) and Christa Zorn (from the German). Full transcriptions of some 2000 letters are arranged in chronological order along with introductions biographical notes and detailed footnotes that explain their context and identify the recipients friends and colleagues mentioned. In this third volume covering the years 1890-1896 the 429 assembled letters follow Violet Paget-Vernon Lee from the age of thirty-four when she lives with her parents and half-brother the poet and invalid Eugene Lee-Hamilton at Villa Il Palmerino (Florence) to the ripe age of forty when both her parents died and her brother recovered from his illness and decided to leave home. As Lee copes with Eugene’s invalidism and her own physical and psychological ailments we get a view of the practice and teaching of medicine and nursing in Europe in the late 1890s. Lee sponsors her friend’s Amy Turton’s convalescent home and nurses’ training. Mental sciences are at the forefront from experimental psychology psychiatry and neurology to neurophysiology; and in August 1892 Vernon Lee and Clementina Anstruther-Thomson attend the Psychological Congress in Paris with speakers Hermann von Helmholtz James Sully Alexander Bain Francis Galton G. Stanley Hall and Amboise-Auguste Liebeault. Lee came to consider herself as a psychologist as much as a philosopher of art and delved more deeply into experimental psychology; and with her partner Clementina Anstruther-Thomson she refined a theory of aesthetic empathy and inner mimicry. According to this theory a viewer’s response to a work of art can be measured through his or her physiognomy breathing heartbeats and eye and muscular movements thus providing a scientific basis for an innate appreciation of aesthetic value. They published a synthesis of their work: “Beauty and Ugliness” (The Contemporary Review October-November 1897). While travelling Lee continues to write her travel essays (e. g. Genius Loci: Notes on Places 1899) and her popular supernatural tales. She starts lecturing emulating Eugénie Sellers’s British Museum lectures and her method for attribution and connoisseurship. Her interest in socialism and political economy intensify as her circle widens beyond an aristocratic and society milieux to working-class districts and her collection Althea (1894) shows her interest in ethics moral duties and free-thinking. She indicts the proponents of art for art’s sake. Her discussions about contracts copyright and royalties pirated editions and money matters are intertwined with educational ethics and a concern for the fair recognition of women’s higher education and careers. She becomes involved in the university extension program by giving her first lectures on ancient art and aesthetics in the East End and at Toynbee Hall and her experience of lecturing in London Cambridge Oxford and Rome allows her to meet other intellectuals: Eugénie Sellers Mrs Arthur Strong etc. and new audiences. In 1894 the Affaire Dreyfus (1894–1906) begins revealing the rise of anti-Semitism targeting many of Lee’s close friends also defenders of Dreyfus such as James Darmesteter. After he died Darmesteter’s wife Mary (Robinson) and Lee once again became close to one another. By the time she turned forty Vernon Lee experienced several emotional blows: her friend and mentor Walter Pater died on 30 July 1894. That same year four months later on 14 November 1894 her father died from complications related to asthma Eugene Lee-Hamilton started to recover from chronic illness soon after his stepfather’s death.

Lee Edelman and the Queer Study of Religion

This book takes the groundbreaking work of Lee Edelman in queer theory and for the first time demonstrates its importance and relevance to contemporary theology biblical studies and religious studies. It argues that despite extensive interest in Edelman’s work we have barely begun to understand the significance of Edelman’s ideas both in their own right and with respect to the study of religion. Therefore it offers fresh approaches to Edelman’s work that necessarily complicate the established interpretations of his thinking. With essays by rising and established scholars as well as a response by Edelman himself it contends that by fully engaging Edelman scholars of religion will have to confront negativity and its consequences in ways that will contribute to reshaping the terrain of scholarship on religion race sexuality and social change. The insights provided in this book are new territory for much of the study of religion. As such it will be of keen interest to scholars of religious studies theology and Biblical studies as well as gender studies and queer feminist and critical race theory. | Lee Edelman and the Queer Study of Religion

Governing Global-City Singapore Legacies and Futures After Lee Kuan Yew

This book provides a detailed analysis of how governance in Singapore has evolved since independence to become what it is today and what its prospects might be in a post-Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) future. First it discusses the question of political leadership electoral dominance and legislative monopoly in Singapore’s one-party dominant system and the system’s durability. Second it tracks developments in Singapore’s public administration critically analysing the formation and transformation of meritocracy and pragmatism two key components of the state ideology. Third it discusses developments within civil society focusing in particular on issues related to patriarchy and feminism hetero-normativity and gay activism immigration and migrant worker exploitation and the contest over history and national narratives in academia the media and the arts. Fourth it discusses the People's Action Party (PAP) government’s efforts to connect with the public including its national public engagement exercises that can be interpreted as a subtler approach to social and political control. In increasingly complex conditions the state struggles to maintain its hegemony while securing a pre-eminent position in the global economic order. Tan demonstrates how trends in these four areas converge in ways that signal plausible futures for a post-LKY Singapore. | Governing Global-City Singapore Legacies and Futures After Lee Kuan Yew

American Theology Superhero Comics and Cinema The Marvel of Stan Lee and the Revolution of a Genre

Stan Lee who was the head writer of Marvel Comics in the early 1960s co-created such popular heroes as Spider-Man Hulk the X-Men the Fantastic Four Iron Man Thor and Daredevil. This book traces the ways in which American theologians and comic books of the era were not only both saying things about what it means to be human but starting with Lee they were largely saying the same things. Author Anthony R. Mills argues that the shift away from individualistic ideas of human personhood and toward relational conceptions occurring within both American theology and American superhero comics and films does not occur simply on the ontological level but is also inherent to epistemology and ethics reflecting the comprehensive nature of human life in terms of being knowing and acting. This book explores the idea of the American monomyth that pervades American hero stories and examines its philosophical and theological origins and specific manifestations in early American superhero comics. Surveying the anthropologies of six American theologians who argue against many of the monomyth’s assumptions principally the staunch individualism taken to be the model of humanity and who offer relationality as a more realistic and ethical alternative this book offers a detailed argument for the intimate historical relationship between the now disparate fields of comic book/superhero film creation on the one hand and Christian theology on the other in the United States. An understanding of the early connections between theology and American conceptions of heroism helps to further make sense of their contemporary parallels wherein superhero stories and theology are not strictly separate phenomena but have shared origins and concerns. | American Theology Superhero Comics and Cinema The Marvel of Stan Lee and the Revolution of a Genre

Selected Letters of Vernon Lee 1856–1935 Volume II - 1885-1889

Vernon Lee was the pen name of Violet Paget (1856–1935) – a prolific author best known for her supernatural fiction and her radical polemics. She was also an active letter writer whose correspondents include many well-known figures in fin de siècle intellectual circles across Europe. However until now no attempt has been made to make these letters widely available in their complete form. This multi-volume scholarly edition presents a comprehensive selection of her English French Italian and German correspondence — compiled from more than 30 archives worldwide — that reflect her wide variety of interests and occupations as a Woman of Letters and contributor to scholarship and political activism. Letters written in a language other than English have been expertly translated by scholars Sophie Geoffroy (from the French) Crystal Hall (from the Italian) and Christa Zorn (from the German). The edition focuses on those letters concerning the writing ideas and aesthetics that influenced Lee’s articles books and stories. Full transcriptions of some 500 letters covering the years 1856-1935 are arranged in chronological order along with newly written introductions that explain their context and identifies the recipients friends and colleagues mentioned. Since scholarship on Lee’s critical and creative output is still in the beginning stages these letters will serve a purpose to students and researchers in a number of academic fields. In this second volume covering the years 1885–1889 the 421 assembled letters follow Violet Paget-Vernon Lee in her early thirties. Recovering from the stinging reception of her first novel and from Annie Meyer’s death she turns to essay writing on aesthetics and ethics and ghost stories. After Mary Robinson’s engagement to marry French orientalist Prof. Darmesteter she travels to Spain Gibraltar and Tangiers and briefly falls under the spell of the Orient. She also takes a liking to Scotland and many of her close friends are Scottish -Alice Callander Lady Archie (Janey Sevilla Archibald Campbell)—and so is her future partner Clementina Anstruther-Thomson. The letters reflect the expansion of her subject matter from cultural studies art history and aesthetic philosophy. Her charity work in hospitals in Florence and her readings in Political Economy lead her thinking towards social reform and political issues. Her brother’s mental illness and her own breakdown bring about an awareness of body and mind balance and a taste for outdoor pursuits (mountaineering; bicycling; horse riding; swimming) and for experimental psychology (rotating mirrors; hypnosis) and therapies (hydrotherapy). The Pagets move away from the city center of Florence into the Villa Il Palmerino then in the countryside where both Eugene and Vernon recover. Correspondents include Lee’s parents Matilda and Henry Ferguson Paget; her step-brother poet Eugene Lee-Hamilton; English poetess Mary Robinson; English poet Robert Browning; British novelist and journalist Ellen Mary Abdy-Williams; British social reform activist and editor Percy William Bunting; Irish journalist and activist Frances Power Cobbe; Irish scholar and novelist Bella Duffy; British eugenicist Karl Pearson; British publisher William Blackwood; Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson; American novelist Henry James; American connoisseur and arts patron Isabella Stuart Gardner; French translator and critic Marie-Thérèse Blanc (Th.

Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

This book discusses and explores the relationship between language and world view. David Lee presents recent research in linguistics drawing together strands from a number of different areas of the subject: the nature of linguistic and conceptual categories the role of metaphor in the everyday use of language gender differentiation and social variation in speech. In this study David Lee considers a broad range of issues in the light of two contrasting views on language. For much of its history linguistics has been dominated by a tradition which sees individual languages as uniform homogenous systems. However there has always been an opposite view emphasising the complex tensions and cross-currents inherent in linguistic usage. This alternative perspective is explored in the analysis of a wide range of literary and non-literary texts: casual conversations interviews newspaper reports official memoranda television commercials and extracts from novels. The author describes how both spoken and written texts can be seen as the sites where tensions between competing discourses stemming from different social positions and perspectives are illustrated. | Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language
