Translating Time : Cinema, the Fantastic, and Temporal Critique (9780822345107)

Under modernity, time is regarded as linear and measurable by clocks and calendars. Despite the historicity of clock-time itself, the modern concept of time is considered universal and culturally neutral. What Walter Benjamin called "homogeneous, empty time" founds the modern notions of progress and a uniform global present in which the past and other forms of time consciousness are seen as superseded. In Translating Time, Bliss Cua Lim argues that fantastic cinema depicts the coexistence of other modes of being alongside and within the modern present, disclosing multiple "immiscible temporalities" that strain against the modern concept of homogeneous time. In this wide-ranging study-encompassing Asian American video (On Cannibalism), ghost films from the New Cinema movements of Hong Kong and the Philippines (Rouge, Itim, Haplos), Hollywood remakes of Asian horror films (Ju-on, The Grudge, A Tale of Two Sisters) and a Filipino horror film cycle on monstrous viscera

Arqueología de los animales, la (9788472900578)

Simon J. M. DavisDesde el primer descubrimiento de restos fósiles de animales extinguidos asociados con útiles líticos, los huesos y otros restos animales han aportado una valiosa información a la Arqueología. En el curso de los últimos veinte años los arqueozoólogos han estado colaborando con los arqueólogos y zoólogos en el estudio de los restos «arqueofaunísticos» de los yacimientos y en la reconstrucción histórica y prehistórica. ¿En qué clase de medio ambiente vivían nuestros antepasados? ¿En qué estaciones del año ocuparon determinados yacimientos? ¿Cuándo empezaron a cazar? ¿Qué responsabilidad tuvieron en la extinción de tantas especies de grandes mamíferos hace 10.000-20.000 años? ¿Cuándo, dónde y cómo fueron domesticados los primeros animales? ¿Cuándo empezó el ordeñado? ¿Cuándo se empezó a montar a caballo? ¿Tuvieron los romanos alguna influencia en nuestra alimentación? ¿Qué condiciones sanitarias prevalecían en la Inglaterra medieval? Tales son algunas de las preguntas pla

Sweetpea (9780778369035)

The last person who called me Sweetpea ended up dead... I haven't killed anyone for three years, and I thought that when it happened again I'd feel bad. Like an alcoholic taking a sip of whiskey. But no. Nothing. I had a blissful night's sleep. Didn't wake up at all. And for once, no bad dream either. This morning I feel balanced. Almost sane, for once. Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog...but she's got a killer secret. Although her childhood was haunted by a famous crime, Rhiannon's life is normal now that her celebrity has dwindled. By day, her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying. By evening, she dutifully listens to her friends' plans for marriage and babies while secretly making a list. A kill list. From the man at the grocery checkout who always mishandles her apples, to the driver who cuts her off on her way to work, to the people who have it coming, Rhiannon is ready to get her re

Faithful Presence - Seven Disciplines That Shape the Church for Mission (083084127X)

Missio Alliance Essential Reading List of 2016 In our quest to renew the church, Christians have walked through seeker-friendly, emergent, missional, and other movements to develop new expressions of the body of Christ. Now in the post-Christian world in North America we're asking the question again: Is there a way to be the church that engages the world, not by judgment nor accommodation but by becoming the good news in our culture? In Faithful Presence, noted pastor and scholar David Fitch offers a new vision for the witness of the church in the world. He argues that we have lost the intent and practice of the sacramental ways of the historic church, and he recovers seven disciplines that have been with us since the birth of the church. Through numerous examples and stories, he demonstrates how these revolutionary disciplines can help the church take shape in and among our neighborhoods, transform our way of life in the world, and advance the kingdom. This book will help you re

American Pastoral : The renowned Pulitzer Prize-Winning novel (9780099771814)

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE Philip Roth's masterpiece provides a piercing look into the promises of prosperity, civic order and domesticity in twentieth century America 'Swede' Levov is living the American dream. He glides through life cocooned by his devoted family, his demanding yet highly rewarding (and lucrative) business, his sporting prowess, his good looks. He is the embodiment of thriving, post-war America, land of liberty and hope. Until the sunny day in 1968, when the Swede's bountiful American luck deserts him. The tragedy springs from devastatingly close to home. His adored daughter, Merry, has become a stranger to him, a fanatical teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of political terrorism that plunges the Levov family into the political mayhem of sixties America, and drags them into the underbelly of a seemingly ascendant society. Rendered powerless by the shocking turn of events, the Swede can only watch as his pastoral idyll is methodically to
