Christianity, Philosophy, and Roman Power Constantine, Julian, and the Bishops on Exegesis and Empire
Free Download Lea Niccolai, "Christianity, Philosophy, and Roman Power: Constantine, Julian, and the Bishops on Exegesis and Empire "
English | ISBN: 1009299298 | 2023 | 348 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book rethinks the Christianisation of the late Roman empire as a crisis of knowledge, pointing to competitive cultural re-assessment as a major driving force in the making of the Constantinian and post-Constantinian state. Emperor Julian's writings are re-assessed as key to accessing the rise and consolidation of a Christian politics of interpretation that relied on exegesis as a self-legitimising device to secure control over Roman history via claims to Christianity's control of paideia. This reconstruction infuses Julian's reaction with contextual significance. His literary and political project emerges as a response to contemporary reconfigurations of Christian hermeneutics as controlling the meaning of Rome's culture and history. At the same time, understanding Julian as a participant in a larger debate re-qualifies all fourth-century political and episcopal discourse as a long knock-on effect reacting to the imperial mobilisation of Christian debates over the link between power and culture.

Caesarea Maritima Excavations in the Old City 1989-2003 Conducted by the University of Maryland and the University of Ha
Free Download Kenneth G Holum, "Caesarea Maritima Excavations in the Old City 1989-2003 Conducted by the University of Maryland and the University of Ha"
English | ISBN: 0897571150 | 2020 | 472 pages | PDF | 49 MB
In this volume, Kenneth G. Holum, a professor at the University of Maryland, presents the results of the many years of excavation by the Combined Caesarea Expeditions, a joint project he and Avner Raban of the University of Haifa organized to explore the city and harbor of ancient Caesarea, built by the Jewish king, Herod the Great, at the end of the first century BCE. The volume publishes what they discovered on land, both on the Temple Platform, built by Herod for his magnificent harbor temple to Roma and Augustus, and in the Inner Harbor quays. Holum presents CCE's original research questions, the overall stratigraphy of the site, and the team's findings about Caesarea from the Hellenistic period to the end of antiquity in the seventh century CE. In so doing, the volume makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the transition from paganism to Christianity in Late Antiquity. It explores in depth King Herod's pagan temple, which existed until about 400 CE, when the now Christian authorities deliberately dismantled it, removing all but its deepest foundations, and let the site lose its holiness. A century later, in 500 CE, the authorities built a grand Octagonal Church in exactly the same spot and on the same alignment as Herod's temple, so that it functioned as a harbor church, visible from far at sea. In the Byzantine period, Caesarea prospered and reached its largest extent. This volume presents the archaeological evidence for these developments, paying careful attention to the foundations of the temple and church, fragments of the superstructure of both monumental buildings, the Herodian and Byzantine staircases that rose directly from the harbor to the temple and church, the pottery, coins, and other evidence, as well as of the vibrant city which surrounded these commanding religious structures.

Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter A Multidisciplinary Primer
Free Download Abdul Karim Bangura, "Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter: A Multidisciplinary Primer"
English | ISBN: 1793640661 | 2021 | 376 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In the wake of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, the debate between proponents of Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter has been reignited. For proponents of Black Lives Matter, the slogan All Lives Matter is not a call for inclusiveness but a criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement. On the other hand, advocates of All Lives Matter insist their slogan is about diversity and colorblindness. The contributors included in Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter: A Multidisciplinary Primer approach the subject from fields as wide ranging as sociology, mathematics, linguistics, business, politics, and psychology, to name a few. This collection adds complexity and international perspectives to the debate, allowing these seemingly simple quarrels over phrasing to be unpacked from many angles. A refreshing variety of looks at one of the defining social movements of the last decade and the reaction to it, this collection will be valuable to those seeking to understand these movements in ways beyond how they are typically framed.

Black Feminism and Traumatic Legacies in Contemporary African American Literature
Free Download Apryl Lewis, "Black Feminism and Traumatic Legacies in Contemporary African American Literature "
English | ISBN: 1666921386 | 2023 | 158 pages | PDF | 938 KB
Black Feminism and Traumatic Legacies in Contemporary African American Literature employs an analysis of select African American novels and applies trauma studies and Black Feminist Studies to explain the significance of trauma and traumatic experiences that stem from slavery and how this advances scholarly discussions about African American literature. Using the crooked room theory from Melissa Harris-Perry's Sister Citizen (2011), the author argues that the traumatic legacy of slavery is the "crooked room" that African Americans, especially Black women, are forced to navigate to facilitate healing. Much like trauma, healing is not a linear concept, and healing is more about reclaiming oneself in the aftermath of traumatic experiences. An intersectional approach facilitated by Black Feminist Studies is pivotal for uplifting the traumatic experiences of African Americans, especially women, that does justice to their specific histories. Although slavery is pushed out of public awareness because of people who are uncomfortable with confronting slavery's traumatic magnitude on the Black community, African American literature is not removed from discussing past and present traumas that are pervasive in the Black community.
