Queer Political Theologies (Paperback): Ricky Varghese, David K Seitz, Fan Wu Queer Political Theologies (Paperback)

While religion and queerness often are viewed as disparate, scholars in both fields of study share concerns and questions about how the modern subject, with its attachments to institutions and communities, is formed. This special issue of GLQ brings together queer studies and political theology in order to explore the relationship between the self and politics, theism, and queerness. Going beyond previous work in queer political theology that has focused primarily on Christianity, contributors to this issue consider how queer sexualities appear in other theological contexts, including articles on astrological, Blackpentecostal, Thirunangai, hijra, and sarimbavy ways of life, recentering marginalized and underrepresented minorities, beliefs, and practices. Contributors Ashon Crawley, Seth Palmer, Vaibhav Saria, David K. Seitz, Liza Tom, Ricky Varghese, Alexa Winstanley-Smith, Fan Wu

In the recent years, a significant amount of research has emerged connecting the link between alcohol and cancer. The field has rapidly advanced, especially since the complex connection between alcohol and cancer has several unique sub areas that are being investigated. This proceedings volume will contain chapters based upon the presentation of the 2nd International Conference on Alcohol and Cancer in Colorado, 2013. The various topics explore the affects of alcohol on: liver and breast cancer; cell signaling and cancer; stem cells; biomarkers and metabolomics; aerodigestive cancers; cancer and the immune system and more.

A Different Trek - Radical Geographies of Deep Space Nine (Paperback): David K Seitz A Different Trek - Radical Geographies of Deep Space Nine (Paperback)

A different kind of Star Trek television series debuted in 1993. Deep Space Nine was set not on a starship but a space station near a postcolonial planet still reeling from a genocidal occupation. The crew was led by a reluctant Black American commander and an extraterrestrial first officer who had until recently been an anticolonial revolutionary. DS9 extended Star Trek’s tradition of critical social commentary but did so by transgressing many of Star Trek’s previous taboos, including religion, money, eugenics, and interpersonal conflict. DS9 imagined a twenty-fourth century that was less a glitzy utopia than a critical mirror of contemporary U.S. racism, capitalism, imperialism, and heteropatriarchy. Thirty years after its premiere, DS9 is beloved by critics and fans but remains marginalized in scholarly studies of science fiction. Drawing on cultural geography, Black studies, and feminist and queer studies, A Different “Trek†is the first scholarly monograph dedicated to a critical interpretation of DS9’s allegorical world-building. If DS9 has been vindicated aesthetically, this book argues that its prophetic, place-based critiques of 1990s U.S. politics, which deepened the foundations of many of our current crises, have been vindicated politically, to a degree most scholars and even many fans have yet to fully appreciate.

A House of Prayer for All People - Contesting Citizenship in a Queer Church (Paperback): David K Seitz A House of Prayer for All People - Contesting Citizenship in a Queer Church (Paperback)

Perhaps an unlikely subject for an ethnographic case study, the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto in Canada is a large predominantly LGBT church with a robust, and at times fraught, history of advocacy. While the church is often riddled with fault lines and contradictions, its queer and faith-based emphasis on shared vulnerability leads it to engage in radical solidarity with asylum-seekers, pointing to the work of affect in radical, coalition politics.  A House of Prayer for All People maps the affective dimensions of the politics of citizenship at this church. For nearly three years, David K. Seitz regularly attended services at MCCT. He paid special attention to how community and citizenship are formed in a primarily queer Christian organization, focusing on four contemporary struggles: debates on race and gender in religious leadership, activism around police–minority relations, outreach to LGBT Christians transnationally, and advocacy for asylum seekers. Engaging in debates in cultural geography, queer of color critique, psychoanalysis, and affect theory, A House of Prayer for All People stages innovative, reparative encounters with citizenship and religion.  Building on queer theory’s rich history of “subjectless†critique, Seitz calls for an “improper†queer citizenship—one that refuses liberal identity politics or national territory as the ethical horizon for sympathy, solidarity, rights, redistribution, or intimacy. Improper queer citizenship, he suggests, depends not only on “good politics†but also on people’s capacity for empathy, integration, and repair.

The past 20 years have seen a surge of research into colorectal cancer, which is a reflection of the need to improve our methods of treating patients suffering from this increasingly common form of cancer. Greater knowledge of the basic mechanisms involved in colorectal carcinogenesis is an essential prerequisite to improvements in cancer prevention. In this volume the editors have brought together an impressive list of experts to cover the epidemiology, pathophysiology, morphology and basis for new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to early detection and prevention. This broad scientific approach provides the reader with up-to-date review of our current state of knowl edge of colorectal carcinogenesis and indicates how this information can be used to generate more research and create new opportunities for diagnosis and treatment. This is a book of knowledge and ideas, some of them still at the stage of theoretical interest, but others with practical potential for the care of patients. I recommend it to those who have a research interest in colorectal carcinogenesis, as well as to readers who wish to know just how far medical scientists have progressed in their efforts to achieve the ideal of cancer prevention."

Alcohol abuse ranks among the most common and also the most severe environmental hazards to human health. Its significance is heightened by the possibility of prevention by elimination of the habit, however, rarely exerted. The incidence of deleterious effects on human health has relentlessly risen in the past years for a variety of factors. They include migration of populations and, particularly, increased urbanization. Thus, in some parts of the world, population groups previously spared have become involved, which is also re flected in the increasing number of breweries and distilleries in the developing countries. Social, religious, and gender-related barriers to alcohol consumption are loosening, and the financial improvement of some segments of populations now enable them to buy alcoholic beverages. Thus the greatest percentage rise in the United States has recently been in black women. Adolescents and young people drink more alcoholic beverages than ever, and growing alcohol abuse by pregnant women has let to an increase of the incidence of the fetal alcohol syndrome. While the social and behavioral, including psychiatric, consequences of alcoholism are staggering, the gastrointestinal and, particularly, hepatic manifestations are the most widespread somatic effects, and chronic hepatic disease in alcoholics appears to cause the greatest cost to society. Indeed, mortality from liver cirrhosis is considered a reliable index of alcohol consumption in a country."

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Sudosteuropa, Balkan, Note: 2,5, Technische Universitat Darmstadt (Institut fur Politikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Proseminar Einfuhrung in die Internationalen Beziehungen, 28 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Konflikte sind immer Probleme, die es zu losen gilt. Warum es aber zu Konflikten kommt und warum bestimmte Gruppen oder Organisationen eingreifen oder nicht ist haufig eine Frage, die nicht nur mit einer einzigen Erklarung beantwortet werden kann. Es gibt dabei unterschiedliche Thesen, welche die Ursachen fur den Konflikt und die Teilnahme mit gewaltbereiten Eingriffen versuchen zu erklaren und zu rechtfertigen. ...] Im Folgenden sollen daher am Beispiel des Kosovokonflikts zwei verschiedene Voraussetzungen fur die Intervention der NATO beleuchtet werden. Um erklaren zu konnen warum es zum Krieg kam, soll zunachst im nachfolgenden Abschnitt die Situation des Kosovo vor dem Krieg erlautert werden. ...] Im zweiten Teil wird kurz der Kosovokonflikt geschildert, da dies fur die Analyse wichtige Informationen enthalt. Im dritten Teil werden die Theorien des Globalismus und des Konstruktivismus erlautert, welche die Grundlage fur die anschliessende Erklarung des Konfliktes sind. ...] Sowohl die konkrete Fragestellung als auch die zentralen Hypothesen sollen allerdings erst im vierten Abschnitt erlautert werden, da sie sich direkt auf die Theorien beziehen. Allgemein kann man dennoch die empirische Fragestellung nennen. Es ist zu klaren, wie der Globalismus beziehungsweise der Konstruktivismus die Tatsache rechtfertigen, warum die NATO im Konflikt eingeschritten ist, obwohl es sie selbst direkt nicht betrifft
