"She Is Everywhere Vol. 2" is comprised of international essays,
poems, and works of art from the growing community of women and men
who recognize Her and feel Her call to expression in many forms.
This unique volume presents a fresh look at women in the
Judeo-Christian Bible, in the Koran, and in the kaleidoscopic
beauty of the world's women from her signs in caves, cliffs, and
forests to her many faces, manifestations, and hidden places.
Celebrate woman's spirituality, her colors, her islands and
continents, her rages and blessings in weather, her silences, and
her surprising epiphanies. "She Is Everywhere Vol. 2" leads the
contemporary cultural and political nonviolent revolution for a
radically democratic and harmonious world full of compassion,
equality, and transformation
This volume considers women's roles in the conflicts and
negotiations of the early modern world. Essays explore the ways
that gender shapes women's agency in times of war, religious
strife, and economic change. How were conflict and concord gendered
in histories, literature, music, and political, legal, didactic,
and religious treatises? Four interdisciplinary plenary topics
ground this exploration: Negotiations, Economies, Faiths &
Spiritualities, and Pedagogies. Scholars focus upon many regions of
the early modern world--the Atlantic world, the Mediterranean
world, Granada, Indonesia, the Low Countries, England, and
Italy--inflected by such religions as Islam, Catholicism, and
Reformed Protestantism, as they came into contact with indigenous
spiritualities and with one another. Essays and workshop summaries
analyze how gender and class are implicated in economic change and
assess the ways gender and religion map onto voyages of trade,
exploration, or imperialism. They investigate how women, as
individuals and as members of political or family networks, were
instrumental in transmitting, promoting, supporting, or thwarting
different religions during times of religious crises. This volume
also offers methods for teaching and researching these topics. It
will be invaluable to scholars of medieval and early modern women's
studies, especially those working in history, literature,
languages, musicology, and religious studies.
This book offers a considered voice on the advertising chaos that
colours our rapidly changing media environment in a world of fake
news, fast facts and seriously depleted attention stamina. Rather
than simply herald disruption, Karen Nelson-Field starts an
intelligent conversation on what it will take for businesses to win
in an attention economy, the advertising myths we need to leave
behind and the scientific evidence we can use to navigate a complex
advertising and media ecosystem. This book makes sense of
viewability standards, coverage and clutter; it talks about the
real quality behind a qCPM and takes a deep dive into the
relationship between attention and sales. It explains the stark
reality of human attention processing in advertising. Readers will
learn how to maximise a viewer's divided attention by leveraging
specific media attributes and using attention-grabbing creative
triggers. Nelson-Field asks you to pay attention to a disrupted
advertising future without panic, but rather with a keen eye on the
things that brand owners can learn to control.
In the Hebrew Bible, ḥesed (steadfast love, loyalty, devotion)
denotes an important concept that is relevant to interpersonal
relationships in every generation. In this book, Karen Nelson
investigates New Testament engagement with that concept and the
exegetical value of recognizing such engagement. This investigation
employs an original hybrid of two methodological approaches:
intertextuality, used to consider how New Testament authors
appropriate texts that evoke ḥesed or ḥāsîd, and
categorization, used to analyze and compare instances of the
categories ḥsd and ḥsyd within the Hebrew Bible and the New
Testament. Nelson’s work challenges assertions that the New
Testament equivalent of ḥesed is agapē (love) or charis (grace).
Rather, she contends that ḥesed and ḥāsîd are more likely to
be evoked by the terms with which they are most often rendered in
the Septuagint: eleos and hosios, respectively. Nelson rereads
selected New Testament pericopes in light of ḥesed, highlighting
points about ongoing devotion to kinship and covenantal
relationships often overlooked in those contexts and showing how
New Testament authors and figures utilize the ḥesed tradition to
critique the contemporary socioreligious situation and encourage
belief, enduring commitment, and appropriately changed lifestyles.
Addressing a topic that spans the Hebrew Bible and the New
Testament, this study will be of value to biblical scholars,
especially those who are interested in semantics.
