History, Memory and Nostalgia in Literature and Culture
The advent of the new age has alerted us to the conflicted nature of historical memory which defined the 20th century while simultaneously assaulting us with new historical upheavals that demand responsibility and critical consideration. As the historical text bears traces of the writing subject, the element of deception is remarkable, meaning historical memory easily lends itself to forgery and false and subjective projections. As such, how do we think about the past, about history, about memory, and how does memory function? Is history an objective account, a collection of dry, reliable facts? Is it an imaginative narrative, tinged with nostalgia, a projection of our wishful thinking, the ...
Progress in Theology
This book explores the intriguing relationship between theology, science, and the ideal of progress from a variety of perspectives. While seriously discussing the obstacles and pitfalls related to the notion of progress in theology, it argues that there are in fact many different kinds of progress in theology. It considers how this sheds positive light on what theologians do and suggests that other disciplines in the humanities can equally profit from these ideas. The chapters provide tools for making further progress in theology, featuring detailed case studies to show how progress in theology works in practice and connecting with the role and place of theology in the University. The book rearticulates in multiple ways theology’s distinctive voice at the interface of science and religion.
Pentecostal Imagination and the Retrieval of Identity
How does identity survive the passage of time? How can we be sure that our church community in the present is a faithful representation of the originating community in the past? This book explores how Pentecostalism—the world’s fastest-growing expression of Christianity, since its inception at the beginning of the twentieth century—can identify as the same community that birthed the church in the first century. A community that spans two millennia of church history presents numerous challenges, which raise crucial questions. In the case of Pentecostalism, these questions concern the criteria we might employ in order to recognize various instances of that community: both in the present,...
The Culture of Boredom
The Culture of Boredom is a collection of essays by well-known specialists reflecting from philosophical, literary, and artistic perspectives, in which the reader will learn how different disciplines can throw light on such an appealing, challenging, yet still not fully understood, phenomenon. The goal is to clarify the background of boredom, and to explore its representation through forgotten cross-cutting narratives beyond the typical approaches, i.e. those of psychology or psychiatry. For the first time this experienced group of scholars gathers to promote a cross-border dialogue from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Sanctuary and Subjectivity
The Sanctuary Movement of the 1980s was a movement led by white religious liberals that housed Central Americans fleeing dictatorships supported by the United States government, giving them a platform to speak about the situation in their countries of origin. This book focuses on the movement's whiteness by centering the voices of recipients of sanctuary and taking their critiques seriously. The result is an account of the movement that takes seriously the agential limitations of sanctuary and the struggles for agency by recipients. Using interviews with participants in the movement as well auto-ethnographic research as the white pastor of a church in the New Sanctuary Movement, this book situates the sanctuary as site for theological reflection on some of the most pressing issues facing the Church today the possibilities of testimony, the Holy Spirit, ecclesiology, and mercy. In doing so, it proposes a new theoretical framework for thinking about practice by introducing readers to Judith Butler's theories of subjectivation and arguing for ethnographically engaged theology that is able to think beyond virtue and excellence towards an understanding of fugitivity.
Lo reversible y lo irreversible
Somos mortales y nuestro tiempo se despliega sólo según la irreversibilidad de su orden. Y, sin embargo, el significado de nuestra existencia no puede interpretarse únicamente sobre la base de esta irreversibilidad biológica. En ella, y no contra ella, nos enfrentamos constantemente a la reversibilidad de nuestras situaciones de existencia, tan imprevistas como decisivas para nosotros. Tomar en serio esta reversibilidad es no conformarse ya con el privilegio que la filosofía reconoce en la tragedia, en tanto que lo trágico presupone lo irreversible. Prestar atención a la reversibilidad significa defender otro modelo de interpretación de nuestras vidas: el de la tragicomedia y la iron...
Sobre el colorido de la vida y la fenomenología de lo inefable
Este libro presenta los textos de una de las investigaciones fenomenológicas más originales que se han desarrollado en nuestra lengua: la investigación del colorido o la estampa de la vida, iniciada hace más de dos décadas por Antonio Zirión Quijano. A pesar del tiempo transcurrido, su autor presenta todavía hoy estos textos más como la introducción a una obra por venir —acerca de la fenomenología de la vida en concreción— que como la compilación de unos resultados definitivos. La voluntad de atrapar el elusivo fenómeno del colorido de la vida se vio obligada a cambiar el rumbo a medio camino, pero ha podido alcanzar, en una peculiar fenomenología del lenguaje, la constatac...
Ricœuriana 1: a atualidade de Paul Ricœur numa perspetiva Ibero-Americana
O presente volume inaugural da Ricoeuriana – Associação Ibero Americana de Estudos Ricoeurianos assinala o início de uma nova fase nos estudos ricoeurianos, sobretudo no espaço ibero-americano.

Paul Ricoeur: Junto, más allá y por debajo de su obra
Quien se haya adentrado en el pensamiento del filósofo francés Paul Ricœur tendrá presente alguna tensión conceptual o debate entre pensadores con los que se enfrentó su obra. Si hay algo que caracteriza su estilo de filosofar es haber hecho frente a este tipo de conflictos para intentar lograr alguna suerte de “reconciliación”, que adopta el rostro de dialécticas siempre abiertas, imperfectas e incluso asimétricas. Como fruto del Primer Coloquio Iberoamericano sobre el Pensamiento de Paul Ricœur se presentan reflexiones organizadas en tres dimensiones: algunas ensayan comprender, explicar y “aplicar” lo que sostenía Paul Ricoer. Otras toman su obra como plataforma para en...
