Hitler's Theology investigates the use of theological motifs in
Adolf Hitler's public speeches and writings, and offers an answer
to the question of why Hitler and his theo-political ideology were
so attractive and successful presenting an alternative to the
discontents of modernity. The book gives a systematic
reconstruction of Hitler's use of theological concepts like
providence, belief or the almighty God. Rainer Bucher argues that
Hitler's (ab)use of theological ideas is one of the main reasons
why and how Hitler gained so much acquiescence and support for his
diabolic enterprise. This fascinating study concludes by
contextualizing Hitler's theology in terms of a wider theory of
modernity and in particular by analyzing the churches' struggle
with modernity. Finally, the author evaluates the use of theology
from a practical theological perspective. This book will be of
interest to students of Religious Studies, Theology, Holocaust
Studies, Jewish Studies, Religion and Politics, and German History.
The 1979 publication of Susan Gubar and Sandra M. Gilbert's
ground-breaking study The Madwoman in the Attic marked a founding
moment in feminist literary history as much as feminist literary
theory. In their extensive study of nineteenth-century women's
writing, Gubar and Gilbert offer radical re-readings of Jane
Austen, the Brontes, Emily Dickinson, George Eliot and Mary Shelley
tracing a distinctive female literary tradition and female literary
aesthetic. Gubar and Gilbert raise questions about canonisation
that continue to resonate today, and model the revolutionary
importance of re-reading influential texts that may seem all too
familiar
Haraway's 'A Cyborg Manifesto' is a key postmodern text and is
widely taught in many disciplines as one of the first texts to
embrace technology from a leftist and feminist perspective using
the metaphor of the cyborg to champion socialist, postmodern, and
anti-identitarian politics. Until Haraway's work, few feminists had
turned to theorizing science and technology and thus her work quite
literally changed the terms of the debate. This article continues
to be seen as hugely influential in the field of feminism,
particularly postmodern, materialist, and scientific strands. It is
also a precursor to cyberfeminism and posthumanism and perhaps
anticipates the development of digital humanities.

This is a systematic reconstruction and critique of Hitler's use
and abuse of theological concepts, and demonstration of their
fundamental importance for the rise of National Socialism.

The relationship between religion and politics is both fascinating
and challenging, and recent years have seen substantial changes in
the way this relationship is studied. Aimed at undergraduates
studying in this area, titles in this series look specifically at
the key topics involved in the relationship between religion and
politics, taking into account a broad range of religious
perspectives, and presenting clear, approachable texts for students
grappling with often complex concepts.
