Beschreibung

Thunder God Cults explores the pervasive phenomenon of thunder gods in ancient civilizations, examining how the awe-inspiring power of storms shaped religious beliefs across diverse cultures. From Zeus in ancient Greece to Thor in Norse mythology and Indra in Vedic traditions, these deities embody both creative and destructive forces, reflecting early societies' dependence on agriculture and vulnerability to weather. The book delves into the archetypal traits of thunder gods, their socio-political roles, and their lasting impact on art and religious practices.The book argues that the consistent portrayal of thunder gods as powerful yet morally ambiguous figures reveals a universal human need to find order and meaning in unpredictable natural forces. By analyzing myths, rituals, and archaeological evidence, the book provides a comparative perspective on thunder god cults, highlighting similarities and differences across cultures.Thunder God Cults begins by introducing the concept of thunder gods as a global phenomenon, then examines specific examples, culminating in an exploration of their enduring legacy. This approach offers a deeper understanding of the human impulses that shape religious belief, making it valuable for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the origins of religious beliefs. By taking a broad, cross-cultural approach, this book moves beyond the study of individual deities to explore shared characteristics and motivations behind thunder god worship.

    Beginning with a jaw-dropping rumination on a centuries-old painting featuring a white man with a Black man's leg surgically attached (with the expired Black leg-donor in the foreground), contracts law scholar and celebrated journalist Patricia J. Williams uses the lens of the law to take on core questions of identity, ethics, and race. 
     
     
     
    With her trademark elegant prose and critical legal studies wisdom, Williams brings to bear a keen analytic eye and a lawyer's training to chapters exploring the ways we have legislated the ownership of everything from body parts to gene sequences—and the particular ways in which our laws in these areas isolate nonnormative looks, minority cultures, and out-of-the-box thinkers. 
     
     
     
    At the heart of "Wrongful Birth" is a lawsuit in which a white couple who use a sperm bank sue when their child "comes out Black." And "Hot Cheeto Girl" examines the way that algorithms give rise to new predictive categories of human assortment, layered with market-inflected cages of assigned destiny. 
     
     
     
    The Miracle of the Black Leg offers a brilliant meditation on the tricky place where law, science, ethics, and cultural slippage collide.
