A Journey to the Roots of Rastafari
Ethiopia accepted Christianity as her sovereign faith after being a Judaic nation for centuries before Christ. Her political seat being the Throne of David makes this event uniquely significant in that Judaism as a religion or as a nation had no existing empire. By this, we mean that after the destruction of Jerusalem in 588 BC and the dispersion of the Israelites, the Jews, as a nation, were unable to reconstruct an independent state anywhere in the world except for the empire established in Ethiopia. Therefore, Ethiopia represented the only nation to have made such a transition from Judaism to Christianity. When one makes a thorough study of the traditions of the biblical Jewish nation, on...
Rediscovering Enoch? The Antediluvian Past from the Fifteenth to Nineteenth Centuries
The books of Enoch are famed for having been “lost” in the Middle Ages but “rediscovered” by modern scholars. But was this really the case? This volume is the first to explore the reception of Enochic texts and traditions between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. Bringing specialists in antiquity into conversation with specialists in early modernity, it reveals a much richer story with a more global scope. Contributors show how Enoch and the era before the Flood were newly reimagined, not just by scholars, but also by European artists and adventurers, Kabbalists, Sufis, Mormons, and Ethiopian and Slavonic Christians.

Accidental Gods
Spanning the globe and five centuries, Accidental Gods introduces us to a new pantheon: of man-gods, deified politicians and imperialists, militants, mystics and explorers. From the conquistadors setting foot in the New World to Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, elevated by a National Geographic article from emperor to messiah for the Rastafari faith, to the unlikely officers hailed as gods during the British Raj, this endlessly curious and revelatory account chronicles an impulse towards deification that persists even in a secular age, as show of defiance or assertion of power. In her bravura final part, Subin traces the colonial desire for divinity through to the creation of 'race' and the white power movement today, and argues that it is time we rid ourselves of the white gods among us.

Immortali per caso
««Chi può creare un dio è una questione tanto affascinante quanto quella di chi ne può uccidere uno. Subin scrive magnificamente della vita spirituale delle persone emarginate, prendendo sul serio le loro devozioni e rivelando lo scopo sovversivo e il potere di credenze e pratiche che i loro oppressori hanno così spesso frainteso. Convincente... pieno di compassione... trascinante». » «The New Yorker» ««Una Bibbia irriverente a tutti gli effetti, una sorta di celestiale esperimento intellettuale [...]. La deificazione è stata usata per soggiogare, colonizzare, opprimere, ma Subin richiama l'attenzione anche sul suo potenziale emancipatorio [...]. Un libro ambizioso e appassionan...

Genre im Diskurs
Reggae und Dancehall gehören zu den einflussreichsten Stilbereichen populärer Musik der vergangenen Jahrzehnte. Auf der Karibikinsel Jamaika entstanden, durchliefen sie international intensive Aneignungsprozesse und werden mittlerweile weltweit gehört und gespielt. Diese Studie spürt den ästhetischen Phänomenen des Genres nach. Durch die Verschränkung diskurs-, bild- und musikanalytischer Zugänge werden die Bewertungskriterien von Experten, die visuellen Darstellungen der Musiker sowie die musikalischen Klänge im Reggae und Dancehall analysiert und wechselseitig aufeinander bezogen. Damit reagiert die Studie auf aktuelle Herausforderungen der wissenschaftlichen Analyse populärer Musik: Nicht nur das Klanggeschehen im Reggae und Dancehall, sondern auch die darauf bezogenen Bewertungskriterien werden empirisch untersucht und als Interpretationsgrundlage genutzt. Zentral ist dabei die Frage, was in diesem Genre positiv bewertet wird und wie diese Wertschätzung analytisch greifbar werden kann.
