Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life.

The Art of Revolt : Snowden, Assange, Manning (9781503603325)

Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and Chelsea Manning are key figures in the struggles playing out in our democracies over internet use, state secrets, and mass surveillance in the age of terror. When not decried as traitors, they are seen as whistle-blowers whose crucial revelations are meant to denounce a problem or correct an injustice. Yet, for Geoffroy de Lagasnerie, they are much more than that. Snowden, Assange, and Manning are exemplars who have reinvented an art of revolt. Consciously or not, they have inaugurated a new form of political action and a new identity for the political subject. Anonymity as practiced by WikiLeaks and the flight and requests for asylum of Snowden and Assange break with traditional forms of democratic protest. Yet we can hardly dismiss them as acts of cowardice. Rather, as Lagasnerie suggests, such solitary choices challenge us to question classic modes of collective action, calling old conceptions of the state and citizenship into question and invitin...

Die Hohe Kunst Der Herrenkleidermacher : Tradition Und Selbstverstandnis Eines Meisterhandwerks. (3205777573)

Schneiderkunst im Anzug! oder: Massgeschneidert, was ist das eigentlich? Uber dem vielfach strapazierten Begriff scheint der Massschneider beinah vergessen. Er zeichnete fur die modische Eleganz des Gentleman verantwortlich, wurde als solcher zum heimlichen Schopfer der zweiten Haut des Mannes. Aber was macht(e) den Anzug zum asthetisch uberlegenen und zugleich erfolgreichsten Kleidungsstuck der Herrengarderobe? Wer schuf das burgerliche Gesetzbuch der Herrenmode? Woraus bezieht der Anzug seine ungebrochene Modernitat und seine erotische Strahlkraft? Woran erkennt man bis heute zweifelsfrei die hohe Kunst der Herrenkleidermacher(innen) und wie entsteht sie? Instanzen und Ikonen mannlicher Eleganz kommen ebenso zur Sprache wie Herrenmode-Liebhaber Adolf Loos und der Wiener Schneider-Poet Josef Gunkel. Am Schneider-Meisterwerk Alfred Konsals wird der Kunstbegriff der Herrenkleidermacher beispielhaft erschlossen. Erstmals gewahren kraftvolle Bilder und liebevoll aufbereitetes Fachwissen E...

Outlasting the Gay Revolution : Where Homosexual Activism Is Really Going and How to Turn the Tide (1938067665)

The Houston mayor tried to subpoena sermons against homosexuality. The Mozilla CEO was fired for supporting a bill to uphold traditional marriage. HGTV canceled a new home-improvement show because of the Bible-based views of the show's stars. From redefining marriage to dominating the culture, it appears that there is no stopping the gay activist agenda, but Dr. Brown boldly proclaims that the gay revolution is already a failure, containing within itself the seeds of self-destruction. In Outlasting the Gay Revolution, Dr. Brown clearly spells out eight principles to help Americans with conservative moral values outlast the gay revolution: never compromise your convictions, take the high moral ground, cherish sexual purity, defend natural marriage, celebrate gender distinctions, propagate the truth, turn to God, and refuse to throw in the towel. Dr. Brown's words will fill every reader with fresh hope and courage, and while it looks like American society will never be the same ...

Amor Dei (9781556355011)

Description: Amor Dei: A Study of the Religion of St. Augustine was first published as the Hulsean Lectures for 1938 when John Burnaby was a classics Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Endorsements: ""In the wake of Pope Benedict's encyclical Deus Caritas Est, which proclaimed the unity of eros and agape, it is most timely to have this fine new edition of Burnaby's great book, which is at once a refutation of Nygren's thesis concerning the separation of the two loves and a still unrivalled exposition of the heart of Augustine's theology."" --John Milbank, University of Nottingham ""John Burnaby limited the aims of his 1938 Hulsean Lectures to a patient exposition of Augustine's religion of divine love. The resulting book, Amor Dei, has earned its place among the handful or so of truly great studies of Augustine in modern times. No doubt the enduring power of Burnaby's study has had much to do with his ability to think with A...

Making Sense of the Holocaust by Means of Backward Narration : Martin Amis's Time's Arrow (9783656620365)

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Augsburg, course: Literature and the Holocaust, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The problem of finding appropriate ways to represent the Holocaust has been haunting Holocaust literature ever since Theodor Adorno's famous dictum that there cannot be any poetry after Auschwitz. In fact, the uniqueness of the Holocaust raises serious ethical questions whether there can be any appropriate representation of these atrocious events at all. As the horror of Auschwitz goes beyond human imagination, the problem boils down to the one question: How can you imagine the unimaginable? Martin Amis's novel Time's Arrow or the Nature of the Offence (1991) has a rather bold answer to this question: by narrating it backwards. In the novel, the story of the Nazi doctor Odilo Unverdorben is narrated vice versa, following his life from end ...
