Sinopsis

"Language of Touch" explores how literature uses tactile sensation to convey emotions, relationships, and philosophical ideas. Often overshadowed by sight and sound, touch is a key way we understand ourselves and the world. The book examines how authors use language to evoke the feeling of touch, known as haptic representation, for readers. It considers the cultural and historical contexts surrounding touch, including how social norms and power dynamics influence tactile interactions in literature. The book argues that literary depictions of touch are powerful tools for meaning-making, challenging conventional perceptions and revealing deeper truths. Touch in literature shapes identity, negotiates social hierarchies, and expresses trauma. By drawing on sensory psychology, cultural history, and disability studies, the book connects literature to other fields. Beginning with theoretical frameworks from phenomenology and psychoanalysis, the book analyzes literary texts, from classic novels to contemporary poetry, with each chapter focusing on a particular aspect of touch. "Language of Touch" concludes by considering how emerging technologies and evolving attitudes may influence the representation of tactile experience in the future, enriching our understanding of literary expression.

    Zarathustra, is a prophet who has spent years in solitude in the mountains, seeking enlightenment. He eventually descends from the mountains to share his wisdom with humanity. Throughout the book, Nietzsche presents his ideas on a variety of topics, including morality, religion, the nature of existence, and the human condition. He challenges traditional views on these subjects, advocating for a new, individualistic perspective that encourages the pursuit of one's own path in life. "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is known for its poetic and often cryptic language, as well as its challenging ideas. It has been interpreted in many different ways, and remains a cornerstone of Nietzsche's philosophy. Read in English, unabridged.

    Trump and the Protestant...

    This book explores how polarized interpretations of America's past influence the present and vice versa. A focus on competing Protestant reactions to President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan evidences a fundamental divide over how America should remember historical racism, sexism, and exploitation. Additionally, these Protestants disagree over how the past influences present injustice and equality. The 2020 killing of George Floyd forced these rival histories into the open. Rowley proposes that recovering a complex view of the past, confessing the bad and embracing the good, might help Americans have a shared memory that can bridge polarization and work to secure justice and equality. 
     
     
     
    An accessible and timely book, this is essential for those concerned with the vexed relationship of religion and politics in the United States, including students and scholars in the fields of Protestantism, history, political science, religious studies, and sociology.
