Beschreibung

Religious Clothing explores the profound role of sacred attire in expressing faith, identity, and status across diverse religious communities and examines religious garments as a visual language rich with symbolism. The book traces the historical origins and evolution of these garments, from simple coverings to elaborate ceremonial outfits, and analyzes how colors, materials, and designs convey theological concepts. Did you know that religious clothing isn't just about adornment? It also reinforces social hierarchies and facilitates religious rituals.

The book progresses chapter by chapter, starting with an introduction to religious clothing, then moves to specific examples of religious garments such as robes, head coverings, ceremonial outfits, and vestments from various traditions. Each chapter provides detailed descriptions, historical context, and symbolic interpretations.

This book stands out by offering a global perspective, avoiding Eurocentric biases, and adopting a comparative approach to analyze similarities and differences across various religious traditions. The book further examines the interplay between religious beliefs, social customs, and material culture.

The book culminates with a discussion of the contemporary relevance of religious clothing, exploring its role in modern religious practice, interfaith dialogue, and cultural identity. The book's approach is interdisciplinary, connecting to fields such as anthropology, sociology, and art history.

Ultimately, Religious Clothing encourages readers to reflect on the role of clothing in shaping their own identities and beliefs, offering valuable insights into the complex relationship between faith and fashion.

Pax Transatlantica - America and...

Jussi M. Hanhimaki

Is the West finished as a political idea? In recent years, observers have begun pointing to signs that this transatlantic community is eroding. When the European Union expanded, the classic European nation state was in decline. Now, nationalism is on the rise. Furthermore, nations within the EU are less willing to cooperate with the US on policies that require sacrifice and risks, such as using military force alongside the US. Today, following the twin shocks of Brexit and Trump's election, the concept of a unified Western transatlantic community seems to be a relic. But, in Pax Transatlantica, the international historian Jussi Hanhimäki explains why the West is far from over. 
 
 
 
Hanhimäki argues that—despite Trump's inflammatory, dismissive rhetoric—NATO continues to provide robust security for its member states. NATO has survived by expanding its remit and scope, and it is viewed favorably by member states overall. Moreover, the transatlantic relationship boasts the richest and most closely connected transcontinental economy in the world. Lastly, Hanhimäki traces the parallel evolution of domestic politics on both sides of the Atlantic, focusing on the rise of populism. He contends that populism is not causing a rift between the US and Europe. Rather, the spread of populism evinces that their politics are in fact closely integrated.
