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notions of progress and a uniform global present in which the past and other forms of time consciousness are seen as superseded.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

Más allá de la razón secular : algunos retos contemporáneos para la vida y el pensamiento de la Iglesia, vistos desde Occidente (9788493476007)

En esta colección se recogen textos no muy extensos de pensamiento cristiano contemporáneo (no sólo católico, sino dentro de una perspectiva ecuménica), en los que la mirada de la fe y la teología se dirige a las realidades de la sociedad actual para establecer con ellas un diálogo riguroso y constructivo sobre la situación presente del mundo. En el Prólogo de este primer Cuaderno podemos leer: "Al publicar hoy este artículo en Granada, deseo que pueda contribuir, lo mismo que las demás publicaciones de la editorial "Nuevo Inicio", a un debate que nuestra Iglesia, a mi juicio, necesita acometer con urgencia, dentro de sí misma y también con el mundo, y tal vez todavía más, precisamente, en el contexto actual de la sociedad española. Las circunstancias que vive hoy la Iglesia, y en consecuencia el mundo, especialmente el mundo que ha sido cristiano, son extraordinariamente graves. Y, sin embargo, esa misma gravedad pudiera ser ocasión, sobre todo a la luz de las claves fu

Neo-Passing : Performing Identity after Jim Crow (9780252041587)

African Americans once passed as whites to escape the pains of racism. Today's neo-passing has pushed the old idea of passing in extraordinary new directions. A white author uses an Asian pen name; heterosexuals live "out" as gay; and, irony of ironies, whites try to pass as black. Mollie Godfrey and Vershawn Ashanti Young present essays that explore practices, performances, and texts of neo-passing in our supposedly postracial moment. The authors move from the postracial imagery of Angry Black White Boy and the issues of sexual orientation and race in ZZ Packer's short fiction to the politics of Dave Chappelle's skits as a black President George W. Bush. Together, the works reveal that the questions raised by neo-passing-questions about performing and contesting identity in relation to social norms-remain as relevant today as in the past.
