Imagining Theology: Women, Writing and God

2007 y.
Publisher: T. &, T. Clark Publishers
Description: In this book, Heather Walton explores the significance of women poststructuralist theorists for feminist reading practices in theology. She interrogates the crucial role that literature has played in the development of feminist theology and breaks new ground in linking the study of literary texts and theory to creative writing.

Maria DiBattista
Imagining Virginia Woolf: An Experiment in Critical Biography

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Where other works of literary criticism are absorbed with the question--How to read a book?--Imagining Virginia Woolf asks a slightly different but more intriguing one: how does one read an author? Maria DiBattista answers this by undertaking an experiment in critical biography. The subject of this work is not Virginia Woolf, the person who wrote the novels, criticism, letters, and famous diary, but a different being altogether, someone or something Maria DiBattista identifies as `the figment of the author.` This is the Virginia Woolf who lives intermittently in the pages of her writings and in the imagination of her readers. Drawing on Woolf`s own extensive remarks on the pleasures and perils of reading, DiBattista argues that reading Woolf, in fact reading any author, involves an encounter with this imaginative figment, whose distinct, stylistic traits combine to produce that beguiling phantom--the literary personality. DiBattista reveals a writer who possessed not a single… [detailed...]

Imagining the Filipino American Diaspora : Transnational Relations, Identities, and Communities (Asian Americans: Reconceptualizing Culture, History, Politics)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Philippines play a major role in expanding the international Filipino community through its promotion of international labor migration-Filipinos can currently be found in over 130 countries throughout the world. As the first major work to conceive of Filipino immigration as a diaspora, this study analyses the diasporic nature of Filipino relations, identities, and communities and shows how these transnational phenomena are socially constructed by the everyday actions and activities of Filipino Americans. Instead of focusing on an ethnic minority and its relation to its host society, a diasporic perspective places emphasis on the transnational relations created and maintained among that minority, its homeland, and other diasporic communities. Transnational ties are evident in the movement of people, money, consumer goods, information, and ideas. Diaspora represents a new and fluid conceptual image quite apart from the usual coordinates based on physical location, territory,… [detailed...]

Thomas M. Lekan
Imagining the Nation in Nature: Landscape Preservation and German Identity, 1885-1945

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: One of the most powerful nationalist ideas in modern Europe is the assertion that there is a link between people and their landscape. Focusing on the heart of German romanticism, the Rhineland, Thomas Lekan examines nature protection activities from Wilhelmine Germany through the end of the Nazi era to illuminate the relationship between environmental reform and the cultural construction of national identity. In the late nineteenth century, anxieties about national character infused ecological concerns about industrialization, spurring landscape preservationists to protect the natural environment. In the Rhineland`s scenic rivers, forests, and natural landmarks, they saw Germany as a timeless and organic nation rather than a recently patchworked political construct. Landscape preservation also served conservative social ends during a period of rapid modernization, as outdoor pursuits were promoted to redirect class-conscious factory workers and unruly youth from `crass… [detailed...]

Imhotep Today: Egyptianizing Architecture (Encounters with Ancient Egypt)

2003 y.

Description: Book DescriptionExamples of buildings, structures or monuments that draw inspiration from ancient Egypt, or even transplant in their entirety motifs or architectural elements, can be seen across the world. But why is this so? These fifteen essays explorethe use and adaptation of Egyptian designs, motifs and architecture across the modern world drawing on case studies from Britain, France, Italy, America, Australia and South Africa. The contributors discuss why some images were more popular than others, such as sphinxes, obelisks and pyramids, and what events fuelled the rise of Egyptomania, illustrated with a range of examples from facades of zoos, bridges, cinemas, prisons, museums, cemeteries, funerary monuments and parks. Further discussion is made of the reasons for drawing on Egyptian culture, whether for aesthetic, symbolic or cultural reasons, and the contributors question whether this Egyptian message is universally understood.

Wade Jacoby
Imitation and Politics: Redesigning Modern Germany

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Following World War II, a poorly funded, piecemeal effort to transfer British and American institutions into West Germany resulted in many positive changes for that nation`s citizens. After reunification, however, a more ambitious, well-funded, and systematic effort to establish West German institutions in the former GDR has been less effective. Through a close analysis of these two cases, Wade Jacoby explores the conditions under which one society can serve as a model for the reshaping of another. In the initial transfer, Jacoby finds, Allied occupying forces sought to build institutions in Germany that were the functional equivalents of ones they valued at home. They encouraged the development of selected German organizations that became co-architects of the postwar society. Several decades later, by contrast, policymakers in Bonn used exact rather than functional imitation, and they ignored regional interests when redesigning East German society. For both cases, Jacoby focuses… [detailed...]

Imitations of Life: Fannie Hurst`s Gaslight Sonatas

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the early 1920s, Fannie Hurst’s enormous popularity made her the highest-paid writer in America. She conquered the literary scene at the same time the silent movie industry began to emerge as a tremendously profitable and popular form of entertainment. Abe C. Ravitz parallels Hurst’s growing acclaim with the evolution of silent films, from which she borrowed ideas and techniques that furthered her career. Ravitz notes that Hurst was amazingly adept at anticipating what the public wanted. Sensing that the national interest was shifting from rural to urban subjects, Hurst set her immigrant tales and her `woiking goil` tales in urban America. In her early stories, she tried to bridge the gap between Old World and New World citizens, each somewhat fearful and suspicious of the other. She wrote of love and ethnicity—bringing the Jewish Mother to prominence—of race relations and prejudice, of the woman alone in her quest for selfhood. Ravitz argues, in fact, that her socially oriented… [detailed...]
