Reading Shakespeare in Jewish Theological Frameworks: Shylock
Beyond the Holocaust uses Jewish theology to mount a courageous new
reading of a four-hundred-year-old play, The Merchant of Venice.
While victimhood and antisemitism have been the understandable
focus of the Merchant critical history for decades, Lion urges
scholars, performers, and readers to see beyond the racism in
Shakespeare's plays by recovering Shakespearean themes of
potentiality and human flourishing as they emerge within the Jewish
tradition itself. Lion joins the race conversation in Shakespeare
studies today by drawing on the intellectual history and oppression
of the Jewish people, borrowing from thinkers Franz Rosenzweig and
Abraham Joshua Heschel as well as Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin,
Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, and rabbis from the Talmud to
today. This volume interweaves post-confessional, Protestant,
Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, and mystical ideas with Shakespeare's
poetry and opens conversations of prophecy, love, spirituality,
care, and community. It concludes with brief critical sketches of
Antony and Cleopatra, Hamlet, and Macbeth to demonstrate that
Shakespeare when interpreted through Jewish theological frameworks
can point to post-credal solutions and transformed societal
paradigms of repair that encourage action and the shaping of a
finer world.

One man's story of turning blood, sweat, and tears into a
successful living--literally! After his untimely death as the
hardest-working salary man in Japan, Luciel is reincarnated into
the magical fantasy world Galdardia. Always the man with a plan, he
recreates himself to be a healer, and sets about making his way in
the world. But while Luciel knows a thing or two about making
money, he knows absolutely nothing about Galdardia. Will
his good heart and great work ethic be
enough to make him...The Great Cleric? After being
reincarnated, Luciel sets off on his quest with three silver coins
in his pocket, and a desperate need to make more. His first stop is
the town of Merratoni, where he's no sooner in the gate than he's
bowled over by rowdy adventurers. However, he's rescued by the
mysterious and beautiful Lumina, who takes him to the Healer's
Guild to get registered. But before he can start making
money...he's going to have to learn to heal, first! And training in
this world doesn't come cheap or easy. All Luciel knows is, he's
got a tough road (and a lot of long days) ahead…!
This book looks at how multinational enterprises address
sustainability within their business activities. Contextualized
within a rapidly developing country in Asia, it explores how
management practices, tools and techniques are implemented by
foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in the
Philippines. The book introduces a useful three-stage and six-step
sustainability assessment framework for company practices. The
three stages are framed around impact identification, impact
assessment and impact monitoring, with the six steps associated
with these stages, including the initiation step, scoping, impact
analysis, alternative selection, monitoring and evaluation, and
feedback and follow-up. The book also highlights how voluntary
guidelines and global sustainability platforms play an instrumental
role in directing the practices of organisations when implementing
corporate sustainability.
Painting flowers has a long and rich tradition in China, having
evolved out of the classic bird-and-flower style to become its own
distinct genre of painting. Tracing its history and evolution
through centuries of artistic endeavor this amazingly researched
book leaves no stone unturned. With chapters following the sequence
of the four seasons, it brings to life the historical relevance of
the most popular flowers by season as well as the most famous
painters and their representative works, providing context and
perspective on the development of this unique style. The book
concludes with 80 exquisite flower paintings, masterworks of time
and place selected as among the most beautiful and culturally
important paintings of ancient China.
The social sciences have been heavily influenced by modernization
theory, focusing on issues of economic growth, political
development and social change, in order to develop a predictive
model of linear progress for developing countries following a
Western prototype. Under this hegemonic paradigm of development the
world tends to get divided into simplistic binary oppositions
between the 'West' and the 'rest', 'us' and 'them' and 'self' and
'other'. Proposing to shift the discussion on what constitutes the
'Other' as opposed to the 'Self' from philosophy and cultural
studies to the social sciences, this book explores how the
structural asymmetries existing between Western discourses and the
realities of the non-Western world manifest themselves in the
ideas, institutions and socio-political practices of India and
China, and in how far they shape the social scientist's
understanding of their discipline in general. It provides a
counter-narrative by revealing the relativity of geographies, and
by showing that the conventional presentation of core elements of
the Asian socio-political set-up as 'aberrations' from the Western
models fails to acknowledge their inherent strategic character of
adapting Western concepts to meet local requirements. Drawing on
multiple disciplines, concepts and contexts in India and China, the
book makes a valuable contribution to the theory and practice of
politics, as well as to International and Asian Studies.

This book examines the impact of globalization on some vital
aspects of Indian politics, its structures and processes, and
identifies the challenges to globalization itself, in order to
highlight India's complex and fascinating story. In 1991, India
officially embraced the policy of neo-liberal reforms by signing
the GATT agreement, which exposed the country, its society, culture
and institutions to the various forces of globalization.
Globalization as such may not be new to India, for the country has
been embracing the influence of external cultures and civilisations
for millennia, but the post-1991 reforms policy marked a
significant shift, from a predominantly social welfare state and a
command economy to a predominantly market driven one. Through a
range of disciplinary perspectives, the authors analyse how India's
version of secularism, communal harmony, nationhood, the public
sphere, social justice, and the rights of aboriginal communities
came under attack from the forces of the new dispensation. The book
goes on to show how globalisation in India has posed fresh
challenges to political economy, democracy, federalism,
decentralization, parliamentary system, judiciary, and the
parliamentary Left. Critically reflecting on themes in the context
of India's globalisation that are local, regional, national and
global, this book will be of interest to those in the fields of
South Asian Politics, Globalisation, and International Relations.

Drawing on an ethnographic study in a multicultural city of Arabs
and Jews in Israel, this book examines the models and expressions
of power implicated in discourse and conflict resolution practices
in cross cultural contemporary community. The author explores
community politics expressed in daily life as a contextual
background to the analysis of conflict resolution politics,
exploring perspectives of state and civic stakeholders. Through
case analysis, and addressing the individual, organisational and
societal levels, Dr Li-On illustrates that conflict resolution is
dominated by politics, with culture, ethnicity, and identity
playing a significant role; disputing groups rely on conflict
resolution to achieve contesting socio-political goals. The book
explores core concerns in the field, illustrating obstacles,
challenges and opportunities confronting informal justice in
contemporary communities. Informal Justice in Contemporary Society
is motivated by the field's research-practice gap and the lack of
real world impact research in cross-cultural settings. The book
contributes insights towards theory refinement and conflict
resolution practice by addressing practical issues confronted by
mediators in the field. This innovative research path introduces a
holistic approach to the study of informal justice in social
context, deploying multilevel ethnographic analysis to broaden the
perspectives and understanding of conflict resolution in
contemporary communities. Locally, it provides insights into
conflict resolution in Israel in a mixed city of Arabs and Jews.
This book belongs on the reference shelf of essential reading for
educators, researchers and practitioners in conflict resolution and
social studies, including anthropological, community, legal and
cultural fields.

This book studies the existence and uniqueness of solutions to
parabolic-type equations with irregular coefficients and/or initial
conditions. It elaborates on the DiPerna-Lions theory of
renormalized solutions to linear transport equations and related
equations, and also examines the connection between the results on
the partial differential equation and the well-posedness of the
underlying stochastic/ordinary differential equation.
This detailed volume presents timely and authoritative content
offering a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art
in fungal diagnostics. Moreover, it addresses on-going developments
expected to provide a basis for targeted treatment strategies
resulting in improved outcome of invasive mycoses. The knowledge of
host-related predisposing factors and stratified treatment options
facilitating timely onset of adequate antifungal therapy are
critical for successful clinical management and outcome of invasive
fungal disease (IFD), requiring not only rapid diagnosis of a
fungal infection and identification of the causative species, but
also assessment of pathogen/host factors related to pathogenicity,
susceptibility, and response to treatment. Written for the highly
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include
introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary
materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible
protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Human Fungal Pathogen Identification:
Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal reference for researchers
investigating the ever-growing worldwide healthcare problems
involving fungal infections.
Economic history is well documented in Assyriology, thanks to the
preservation of dozens of thousands of clay tablets recording
administrative operations, contracts and acts dealing with family
law. Despite these voluminous sources, the topic of work and the
contribution of women have rarely been addressed. This book
examines occupations involving women over the course of three
millennia of Near Eastern history. It presents the various aspects
of women as economic agents inside and outside of the family
structure. Inside the family, women were the main actors in the
production of goods necessary for everyday life. In some instances,
their activities exceeded the simple needs of the household and
were integrated within the production of large organizations or
commercial channels. The contributions presented in this volume are
representative enough to address issues in various domains: social,
economic, religious, etc., from varied points of view:
archaeological, historical, sociological, anthropological, and with
a gender perspective. This book will be a useful tool for
historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and graduate students
interested in the economy of the ancient Near East and in women and
gender studies.
