Of Earth and Sea
The Chilean coup d'Žtat of 1973 was a watershed event in the history of Chile. It was also a defining moment in the life of writer Marjorie Agos’n. This collection of prose vignettes and free verse draws upon her experiences as a child in Chile, an expatriate abroad, and a minority JewÑeven in the land she calls homeÑto create a striking portrait of a life of exile. The tone of the book varies as it lyrically explores the geography of Chile and weaves into it the themes of exile and oppression. At times the words become hymns to the physical beauty of her country, evoking the grandeur of this land extending to the southernmost tip of the world. At times they are intimate and melancholy,...
Thinking and Practicing Reconciliation
Thinking and Practicing Reconciliation asserts that literary representations of conflict offer important insights into processes of resolution and practices of reconciliation, and that it is crucial to bring these debates into the post-secondary classroom. The essays collected here aim to help teachers think deeply about the ways in which we can productively integrate literature on/as reconciliation into our curricula. Until recently, scholarship on teaching and learning in higher education has not been widely accepted as equal to research in other fields. This volume seeks to establish that serious analysis of pedagogical practices is not only a worthy and legitimate academic pursuit, but a...
Feminist Biblical Studies in the Twentieth Century
Chart the development of feminist approaches and theories of interpretation during the period when women first joined the ranks of biblical scholars This collection of essays on feminist biblical studies in the twentieth century seeks to explore four areas of inquiry demanding further investigation. In the first section, articles chart the beginnings and developments of feminist biblical studies as a conversation among feminists around the world.

The third segment discusses academic methods of reading and interpretation that dismantle androcentric language and kyriarch...
臺灣現代詩
2022年11月26日台灣舉行九合一選舉，綜觀此次大選，在野黨發動鋪天蓋地抹黑、造謠認知作戰，完全偏離政策討論主軸，導致中央執政成績不錯的民進黨慘敗，結果令人大感意外。幾次神預測台灣大選政黨席次和得票率的日本學者小笠原欣幸，於今年1月6日發行的『Voice』，發表評論，形容台灣民主的本質，與其說「平衡感」，實際上更像一灘「爛泥那樣又稠又髒」。這種心態就是「我最大」、「居上位者」和「阿莎力」三種要素的結合。既然結果已定，不管個人喜不喜歡，都需要接受事實，本期有多篇詩作反映選民心聲。 去年2月24日俄羅斯總統普丁以「非軍事化、去納粹化」為藉口，入侵烏克蘭，造成無數平民傷亡或逃離家園，戰事迄今仍未結束。台灣阿美族青年曾聖光志願加入「烏克蘭志願兵武裝部隊」，不幸於盧甘斯克地區與俄軍交戰時，遭攻擊傷重身亡。曾聖光以實際行動，不論國別，為捍衛自由人權而犧牲寶貴生命，更彰顯其「神聖榮光」，本期亦有感念詩作發表。
La exégesis feminista del siglo XX
Este volumen explora los estudios bíblicos feministas en el siglo XX a través de cuatro áreas de investigación. En la primera parte, los artículos establecen un diálogo entre los estudios bíblicos y las feministas de todo el mundo. La segunda parte presenta opiniones y discute sobre los espacios religiosos hermenéuticos creados por los estudios bíblicos feministas. La tercera trata sobre los métodos académicos de lectura e interpretación que desmantelan el lenguaje androcéntrico y la autoridad kyriarcal. La cuarta ejemplifica el trabajo feminista transformador, inspirador e institucionalizador que se ha hecho y se sigue haciendo con el fin de cambiar las mentalidades religiosas de dominación y permitir a hombres y mujeres participar en lecturas críticas de la Biblia.
Tapestries of Hope, Threads of Love
This book tells the story of ordinary women living in terror and extreme poverty under General Pinochet's oppressive rule in Chile (1973-89) and how their lives did and did not change following his reign. These women defied the military dictatorship by embroidering their sorrow on scraps of cloth and using their needles and thread as one of the boldest means of popular protest and resistance in Latin America. The arpilleras they made - patch-work tapestries with scenes of everyday life and memorials to their disappeared relatives - were smuggled out of Chile and brought to the world the story of their fruitless searches in jails, morgues, government offices, and the tribunals of law for thei...
