E Cram, "Violent Inheritance: Sexuality, Land, and Energy in Making the North American West (Volume 3) "
English | ISBN: 0520379462 | 2022 | 292 pages | PDF | 26 MB
Violent Inheritance deepens the analysis of settler colonialism's endurance in the North American West and how infrastructures that ground sexual modernity are both reproduced and challenged by publics who have inherited them. E Cram redefines sexual modernity through extractivism, wherein sexuality functions to extract value from life including land, air, minerals, and bodies. Analyzing struggles over memory cultures through the region's land use controversies at the turn of and well into the twentieth century, Cram unpacks the consequences of western settlement and the energy regimes that fueled it. Transfusing queer eco-criticism with archival and ethnographic research, Cram reconstructs the linkages-"land lines"-between infrastructure, violence, sexuality, and energy and shows how racialized sexual knowledges cultivated settler colonial cultures of both

Many people, at one time or another, struggle with faith issues about sin, guilt, punishment, and hell. But a small few, particularly Catholics, so fear offending God-or fear never being forgiven by God-that they are unable to participate in daily life without experiencing severe doubt and anxiety. Rather than experiencing faith as a source of peace, their faith causes them to dwell on or second guess every decision they make.

Understanding Medieval Liturgy: Essays in Interpretation edited by Sarah Hamilton, Helen Gittos
English | December 28, 2015 | ISBN: 140945150X, 0367135795 | True EPUB | 352 pages | 5.6 MB

It focuses primarily on so-called occasional rituals such as burial, church consecration, exorcism and excommunication rather than on the Mass and Office.
