Connected Histories
The World Wide Web (WWW) and digitisation have become important sites and tools for the history of the Holocaust and its commemoration. Today, some memory institutions use the Internet at a high professional level as a venue for self-presentation and as a forum for the discussion of Holocaust-related topics for potentially international, transcultural and interdisciplinary user groups. At the same time, it is not always the established institutions that utilise the technical possibilities and potential of the Internet to the maximum. Creative and sometimes controversial new forms of storytelling of the Holocaust or more traditional ways of remembering the genocide presented in a new way with...
Practices of Comparing
Practices of comparing shape how we perceive, organize, and change the world. Supposedly innocent, practices of comparing play a decisive role in forming categories, boundaries, and hierarchies; but they can also give an impetus to question and change such structures. Like almost no other human practice, comparing pervades all social, political, economic, and cultural spheres. This volume outlines the program of a new research agenda that places comparative practices at the center of an interdisciplinary exploration. Its contributions combine case studies with overarching systematic considerations. They show what insights can be gained and which further questions arise when one makes a seemingly trivial practice - comparing - the subject of in-depth research.
Pilgrimage of Love
In Pilgrimage of Love Joy Ann McDougall offers an original reading and critical analysis of German Protestant theologian Jürgen Moltmann's social trinitarian theology. She identifies the driving theological impulses, methodological convictions, and practical concerns that shape the author's evolving trinitarian vision. She uncovers the narrative of divine love in Moltmann's early trilogy and shows how its conceptual trajectory shifts and deepens in his six-volume Systematic Contributions to Theology. Building on her analysis, McDougall advances a compelling case for the concept of trinitarian fellowship as the structuring theological principle in Moltmann's later work. She demonstrates how ...
Praktiken der Geschichtsschreibung
Geschichte boomt! Ob Audio- und Fernsehbeiträge, Comics, Science Slams oder Ausstellungen - historische Themen werden auf vielfältige Weise vermittelt. Die zum Teil forschungsnahen Präsentationsformen ergänzen und bereichern nicht nur den wissenschafts- und bildungspolitisch fest verankerten Umgang mit Geschichte an Schulen und Universitäten. In diesem Sammelband stehen die Praktiken der Geschichtsschreibung im Zentrum, etwa des Recherchierens, Auswählens oder Zusammenstellens. Das Ziel ist, den vermeintlichen Antagonismus ›klassischer‹ Geschichtsforschung und Public History aufzulösen und neu über wissenschaftliche Forschung, ihre Ergebnisse, ihre Kommunikation und Präsentation nachzudenken. Die Beiträger*innen liefern einen aufschlussreichen Blick hinter die Kulissen des Doing in Forschung und Vermittlung.
Jürgen Moltmann and Evangelical Theology
Jurgen Moltmann is now regarded as one of the most influential theologians since Karl Barth. However, evangelical engagement with Moltmann has been hesitant and deficient. This book fills the gap. Ten respected evangelical theologians engage with Moltmann's theology in a mature, dynamic, and critical manner, seeking to appropriate from it in a discerning manner. The contributors include Sung Wook Chung, Kurt Anders Richardson, Veli-Matti Karkainen, Stephen N. Williams, and Timothy Bradshaw. This book is an excellent demonstration of intellectual confidence and respectability of robust evangelical theology.
Reconstructing the Common Good
This landmark study in the history and theory of modern Christian socialism examines the work of such major figures as Rauschenbusch, Tillich, Moltmann, GutiŽrrez, and M'guez Bonino. Dorrien argues that these theologians provide a singular context for addressing questions of freedom and totalitarianism, sacralization and democratization, individual autonomy and the common good. He focuses on the differing conceptions of the common good that these major theorists have propounded, and explicates as well their theological arguments on the relationship between the Kingdom of God and projects of historical praxis. With a new Preface addressing the tumultuous events in Eastern Europe, Reconstructing the Common Good develops and sustains a forceful argument for the continuing relevance of a decentralized, pluralistic, democratic form of socialism.
The Praxis of Suffering
Liberation and political theologies have emerged powerfully in recent years, interrupting the way in which First World Christians both experience and understand their faith. Through an analysis of the cultural and ecclesial contexts of these theological movements, as well as a critical examination of four of their principal exponents--Gustavo Gutierrez, Johann Baptist Metz, Jose Miguez Bonino, and Jurgen Moltmann--the author demonstrates that political and liberation theologies represent a new model of theology, one that proffers a vision of Christian witness as a praxis of solidarity with suffering persons.
Theology as Hope
Hope is the leitmotiv of Jÿrgen Moltmann's theology. Not merely one aspect of his project, hope is the whole of it, the supreme doctrine interpenetrating all others. Indeed, hope is his method. The present study is both historical and developmental while also being analytical and interrogative. This chronological exploration seeks to show the nature, composition, and development of Moltmann's doctrine of hope, as the distinctive doctrine of his theology, implicating all others. Part I establishes Moltmann's doctrine of hope as grounded in God's faithfulness in the cross and resurrection. Part II investigates major doctrines in his project in light of this ground. This design seeks to take advantage of the chronological approach while also integrating the best elements of a topical approach.
Blue Planet, Blue God
The ocean dominates the surface of the earth and is in the pages of the Bible too. The Bible offers a view of the sea and the life it supports which affirms its intrinsic value to God as a good, and indeed essential, part of creation. At the same time, it also speaks perceptively of the sea’s vulnerability to damage and change. The Bible’s focus on the sea raises questions about economics and the interconnectedness of communities, whilst further references to the sea raise questions about our human-centredness and spirituality, and about our fear of chaos and disaster. In a unique collaborative project, the oceanographer Meric Srokosz and the biblical scholar Rebecca Watson not only offe...
Ethnische Identitätspolitik im Medienwandel
Vielerseits wird die Krise des Multikulturalismus beschworen. Zugleich haben Ethnizität und kulturelle Differenz global Konjunktur in Gesellschaft und Politik. Zwiespältig ist hierbei die Rolle der Medien: einerseits ist die Verfügungsmacht über mediale Inhalte ungleich verteilt, wodurch ethnische Grenzziehungen in der Gesellschaft verfestigt werden; andererseits bieten Medien immer häufiger auch jenen Gruppen eine Plattform, die zuvor vom kulturellen und politischen Leben ausgeschlossen waren. Sebastian Thies geht der Frage nach, welche Perspektiven sich vor dem Hintergrund des Medienwandels für die Ethnisierung des Politischen ergeben. Zur Reihe: Was ist eigentlich Politik? Wo und wi...
