What Moves Through Time
What Moves Through Time is a story collection connecting the personal growth of a single woman from her first job in the 1960's through five decades of emotional and spiritual enlightenment to a strange future in the 21st century when the whole world is coming to an end. These stories, quite different from one another, portray the people Faye learns spiritual lessons from and those she loves --- including several dear friends, her first husband on their travels through the United States and Mexico, and her second husband and two children in a small Bronx home and garden. Finally, Faye faces the loss of her world --- first after a move to Brooklyn, and then in a vision of a dystopian future. In What Moves Through Time by Judith Werner we experience tales of a woman's emotional challenges as the narrator grows in love and spirituality while she moves through her time. In the final tale we learn, as Faye does, that only love can conquer death.
Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, and the Theology of Freedom
This book explores how Judith Butler’s work on gender and the shaping of the human subject and Michel Foucault's notion of parrhesia, ‘speaking the truth’, can be made fruitful for a theology of freedom. The volume illustrates the importance of three concepts - freedom, gender (body) and power (critique) - and how this triad provides the foundational categories and structural elements of a theology of freedom. By starting from an analysis of power and the performative potential of gendered embodiment, freedom can be thought of as the basis of creative and critical human action and thereby implemented in theology. The chapters feature several theological-historical case studies that are representative of topics that continue to shape contemporary Catholic norms and thought. In particular, the author reflects on the 13th century with the idea of personal sin and confession, and the 19th century with a gender ideology that has led to the marginalization of difference and dissent. The book shows how Butler and Foucault can provide essential insights for Catholic theology and is valuable reading for scholars of religion, philosophy, and gender and sexuality studies.
Remarkable
Dr. Judith K. Werner met Mark Clifton in 1998 when he started dating her daughter, Nancy. The next year, he discovered a lump in his testicle, which was quickly determined to be cancerous. He underwent surgery and chemotherapy and appeared to be fine. Mark and his loved ones couldn't have known this event, traumatic in itself, was only the start of a long series of life-threatening medical problems. Mark and Nancy married. They had a scare in 2001 when a mass developed in Mark's chest, but after extensive surgery removed the growing tissue, it was diagnosed as benign. The couple had two children-a son and daughter. Mark's career went well, and two dogs joined the family. Mark experienced a s...

Judaism, Philosophy, and Psychoanalysis in Heidegger’s Ontology
In this book, Federico Dal Bo analyzes the question of Heidegger’s anti-Semitism from a deconstructive point of view, appealing not only to philosophy but also to psychoanalysis, gender studies, and critical studies. Deconstruction famously discourages simplistic oppositions whilst encouraging a more careful analysis of cultural and philosophical complexities of a semantic field. In the present case, a deconstructive analysis of Heidegger’s anti-Semitism rejects both a stern condemnation of his oeuvre and a simplistic acquittal from this infamous accusation. It rather suggests that the question of his anti-Semitism shall be examined from the broader perspective—from the end of metaphysics.
