Monika Kaup, "New Ecological Realisms: Post-Apocalyptic Fiction and Contemporary Theory "
English | ISBN: 1474483097 | 2021 | 352 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Monika Kaup pairs post-apocalyptic novels by Margaret Atwood, José Saramago, Octavia Butler and Cormac McCarthy with new realist theories from Bruno Latour, Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, Markus Gabriel, Jean-Luc Marion and Alphonso Lingis. She shows that, just as new realist theory can illuminate post-apocalyptic literature, post-apocalyptic literature can illuminate new theories of the real. Kaup showcases a context-based concept of the real. She argues that new realisms of complex and embedded wholes, actor-networks and ecologies - not the old realisms of isolated parts and things - represent the most promising escape from the impasses of constructivism and positivism.

Neglected Perspectives on Science and Religion explores historical and contemporary relations between science and religion, providing new perspectives on familiar topics such as evolution and the Galileo affair.

The book includes discussions of religious and scientific treatments of the origins of males and females, evolving views of sex and gender, and contemporary tensions about topics such as same-sex marriage. Viney and Woody also include a chapter exploring the effects of social science research on religious topics such as prayer, prejudice, and violence. The rise of social sciences such as psychology, sociology, and anthropology has resulted in discoveries that contribute to new ways of thinking about the relations of science and religion. This book is ideal for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students, as well as anyone interested in science and religion.

Alexandra Valint, "Narrative Bonds: Multiple Narrators in the Victorian Novel "
English | ISBN: 0814214630 | 2021 | 224 pages | PDF | 3 MB
While narrative fracturing, multiplicity, and experimentalism are commonly associated with modernist and postmodern texts, they have largely been understudied in Victorian literature. Narrative Bonds: Multiple Narrators in the Victorian Novel focuses on the centrality of these elements and address the proliferation of multiple narrators in Victorian novels. In Narrative Bonds, Alexandra Valint explores the ways in which the Victorian multi-narrator form moves toward the unity of vision across characters and provides inclusivity in an era of expanding democratic rights and a growing middle class. Integrating narrative theory, gothic theory, and disability studies with analyses of works by Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, Wilkie Collins, Emily Brontë, and Bram Stoker, this comprehensive and illuminating study illustrates the significance and impact of the multi-narrator structure in Victorian novels.

2001 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0316519294 | PDF | 15 MB
Overview: At the end of the Second World War many Germans found themselves in the unfamiliar role of being incriminated, attacked and persecuted. Presenting themselves before Allied denazification hearings, many more were put on trial and condemned as active supporters and accomplices of the Nazi regime. But while many of them managed to unburden themselves of their guilt, a small group had to face a reality which most Germans were spared: these were the children of the leading Nazi figures, who, as bearers of execrated names, faced a lifetime forever scarred by the actions of their fathers.
