Jesuit Intellectual and Physical Exchange between England and Mainland Europe, c. 1580–1789
Jesuit Intellectual and Physical Exchange between England and Mainland Europe, c. 1580–1789: ‘The World is our House’? offers new perspectives on the English Mission of the Society of Jesus. It brings together an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars to explore the Mission’s role and wider impact within the Society, as well as early modern European Catholicism. Building on recent movements within the field to decentralise the Catholic Reformation, the volume seeks to change perceptions of the English Mission as peripheral, bringing the archipelagic experience of Jesuits working in the British Isles in line with work on their European confreres and the broader global network of the Society of Jesus.
Galileo's Telescope
An innovative exploration of the development of a revolutionary optical device and how it changed the world. Between 1608 and 1610 the canopy of the night sky changed forever, ripped open by an object created almost by accident: a cylinder with lenses at both ends. Galileo’s Telescope tells the story of how an ingenious optical device evolved from a toy-like curiosity into a precision scientific instrument, all in a few years. In transcending the limits of human vision, the telescope transformed humanity’s view of itself and knowledge of the cosmos. Galileo plays a leading—but by no means solo—part in this riveting tale. He shares the stage with mathematicians, astronomers, and theol...
Medieval and Early Modern Film and Media
Medieval and Early Modern Film and Media contextualizes historical films in an innovative way - not only relating them to the history of cinema, but also to premodern and early modern media. This philological approach to the (pre)history of cinema engages both old media such as scrolls, illuminated manuscripts, the Bayeux Tapestry, and new digital media such as DVDs, HD DVDs, and computers. Burt examines the uncanny repetitions that now fragment films into successively released alternate cuts and extras (footnote tracks, audiocommentaries, and documentaries) that (re)structure and reframe historical films, thereby presenting new challenges to historicist criticism and film theory. With a double focus on recursive narrative frames and the cinematic paratexts of medieval and early modern film, this book calls our attention to strange, sometimes opaque phenomena in film and literary theory that have previously gone unrecognized.
Der Traum in der Frühen Neuzeit
Die Bestimmung des Traumes zog spezifische Einsichten über die Seelenkräfte und den leibseelischen Zusammenhang, d.h. gewisse Vorstellungen von der persönlichen Identität und von der Realität nach sich. Am Beispiel des Traumes lässt sich demnach hinterfragen, wie sich kulturelle und wissenschaftliche Grundzüge mit Identitätsfragen verknüpfen konnten. Dieses Buch ergänzt daher die Ansätze der historischen Anthropologie durch eine wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Perspektive. Es zeigt, dass hinter der ‚wissenschaftlichen Revolution‘ jene wechselnden Vorstellungen der Einbildungskraft und der geistigen Substanzen lag. Fast scheint es, als habe sie einerseits zu einer Abkehr von jeglic...
Past and Present Political Theology
This book demonstrates how discussions of Political Theology have been a constant feature throughout philosophical modernity and that they continue to impact contemporary political debates. By tracing the historical roots and detailing the contemporary outworking of Political Theology in Europe, it contends that this growing field requires a broader "canon" in order for it to mature. Political Theology is shown here to be about the diversity of relationships between religious beliefs and political orientations. First engaging with historical debates, chapters re-examine the relationship between personal conviction and societal orientation on such topics as the will to believe, evil, individu...
