Derrida: Profanations presents a re-appraisal of Jacques Derrida's
deconstruction. If philosophy articulates what it means to be
human, then deconstruction, which Patrick O Connor argues consigns
all existence to a mortal, profane and worldly life remains
radically philosophical. The assertion demands an analysis of
Derrida's radicalisation of the key philosophers who influenced
him, as well as a rebuttal of theological accounts of
deconstruction. This book closely examines how the phenomenological
lineage is received in deconstruction, especially the relation
between deconstruction and Derrida's radical readings of Hegel,
Husserl, Levinas and Heidegger. This book presents a theorisation
of deconstruction as profane, atheistic and egalitarian. It reveals
how deconstruction holds the resources to think ontology as a
multiplicity of worlds through demonstrates the ways in which
Derrida expresses a phenomenology which disjoints humans
orientation to the world. Deconstruction is characterized as
radically hubristic. For deconstruction, nothing is sacred. If
nothing sustains itself as separate, exclusive or sacrosanct, then
nothing can sustain the implementation of its own hierarchy.
M. John-Patrick O'Connor proposes that - in contrast to recent
contemporary scholarship that rarely focuses on the ethical
implications of discipleship and Christology - Mark's Gospel, as
our earliest life of Jesus, presents a theological description of
the moral life. Arguing for Mark's ethical validity in comparison
to Matthew and Luke, O'Connor begins with an analysis of the moral
environment of ancient biographies, exploring what types of Jewish
and Greco-Romanic conceptions of morality found their way into
Hellenistic biographies. Turning to the Gospel's own examples of
morality, O'Connor examines moral accountability according to Mark,
including moral reasoning, the nature of a world in conflict, and
accountability in both God's family and to God's authority. He then
turns to images of the accountable self, including an analysis of
virtues and virtuous practices within the Gospel. O'Connor
concludes with the personification of evil, human responsibility,
punitive consequences, and evil's role in Mark's moral landscape.
Explains Cormac McCarthy's consistent philosophical preoccupations
across the span of his literary output Provides a vital
interpretive framework for understanding Cormac McCarthy's literary
and philosophical perspectives Offers a systematic study of
distinctly philosophical themes present in Cormac McCarthy's work
Analyses how Cormac McCarthy offers a unique synthesis of
metaphysical and materialist themes Explains the intersection of
philosophical and literary themes in McCarthy's work in an
accessible way This book explores Cormac McCarthy's literature
(novels, plays, screenplays, philosophical essays and unpublished
archive material) to uncover a distinct literary philosophy. More
specifically, this study elucidates how McCarthy articulates a
philosophical perspective which pivots on philosophical themes of
mortality, the political, education, nihilism, materialism and
language. Tracing these themes from the publication of his earliest
novels to his most recent philosophical essays, this book argues
that McCarthy offers a unique synthesis of spiritual, ethical and
materialist concerns, the understanding of which is essential for
coming to terms with his literature.

This book comprises 50 problems in declarer play and defence for
the beginning player, presented in approximate order of difficulty.
The emphasis is on planning the play at the first trick. The idea
is to present bridge hands as the reader would encounter them
playing at the table. Unlike in a textbook, where topics are
introduced systematically, there is no clue as to what type of play
is required. Experienced players recognize certain standard
situations without having to work them out. This does not apply to
novices who spend a lot of mental effort on them. The aim of the
book is to get novices to develop their recognition of these
situations.

Meeting the need for a textbook for classroom use after first year
Hebrew grammar, Waltke and O'Connor integrate the results of modern
linguistic study of Hebrew and years of experience teaching the
subject in this book. In addition to functioning as a teaching
grammar, this work will also be widely used for reference and
self-guided instruction in Hebrew beyond the first formal year.
Extensive discussion and explanation of grammatical points help to
sort out points blurred in introductory books. More than 3,500
Biblical Hebrew examples illustrate the points of grammar under
discussion. Four indexes (Scripture, Authorities cited, Hebrew
words, and Topics) provide ready access to the vast array of
information found in the 40 chapters. Destined to become a classic
work, this long-awaited book fills a major gap among modern
publications on Biblical Hebrew.
On the night of November 29, 1988, near the impoverished
Marlborough neighborhood in south Kansas City, an explosion at a
construction site killed six of the city's firefighters. It was a
clear case of arson, and five people from Marlborough were duly
convicted of the crime. But for veteran crime writer and crusading
editor J. Patrick O'Connor, the facts-or a lack of them-didn't add
up. Justice on Fire is O'Connor's detailed account of the terrible
explosion that led to the firefighters' deaths and the terrible
injustice that followed. Justice on Fire describes a misguided
eight-year investigation propelled by an overzealous Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agent keen to
retire; a mistake-riddled case conducted by a combative assistant
US attorney willing to use compromised "snitch" witnesses and
unwilling to admit contrary evidence; and a sentence of life
without parole pronounced by a prosecution-favoring judge. In
short, an abuse of government power and a travesty of justice.
O'Connor's own investigation, which uncovered evidence of witness
tampering, intimidation, and prosecutorial misconduct, helped give
rise to a front-page series of articles in the Kansas City
Star-only to prompt a whitewashing inquiry by the Department of
Justice that exonerated the lead ATF agent and named other possible
perpetrators who remain unidentified and unindicted. O'Connor
extends his scrutiny to this cover-up and arrives at a startling
conclusion suggesting that the case of the Marlborough Five is far
from closed. Journalists are not supposed to make the news. But
faced with a gross injustice, and seeing no other remedy, O'Connor
felt he must step in. Justice on Fire is such an intervention.
This is a new release of the original 1961 edition.

The faces of Che, Frida, Evita, Carmen Miranda, and other icons
represent Latin America both to a global public that sees these
faces constantly reproduced, and to Latin Americans themselves.
They enter the circulation machines of Hollywood, or work as
nostalgic definitions of a nation, or define a post-national
condition. They become stereotypes as they go global, and the often
melodramatic stories that cling to them give them a different sort
of power than the one they had in their original contexts. "Latin
American Icons," from critics both in the United States and in
Latin America, ask these faces questions; they describe the
technologies and propaganda machines, whether the newspapers of
Revolutionary Mexico (or Paris and New York) or the movie studios
of Argentina and Mexico, which gave them power in their local
context; and they return their original histories to those faces
that have become abstract symbols of The Rebel or The Spitfire or
The Tortured Artist. In equal parts idolatry and iconoclasm, "Latin
American Icons" recognizes and interrogates those Latin Americans
who have become larger than life. In trying to understand the
meaning of iconic figures in modern Latin America, this volume
ranges across every realm of political and cultural life--populist
politicos, jet-setting ambassador-playboys, soccer players and
superstars--to examine the complex forces at work in the making and
re-making of celebrities within and across national borders.
