Title: 何光滬著。《生於憂患,長於憂患— 何光滬「漢語神學」文 選》。
Author(s): Gao, Zhe
Abstract: First paragraph: 本書收錄了「漢語神學」的領路人之一、中國大陸著名基督教學者 何光滬在 1994 年至 2020 年間有關「漢語神學」的論文、訪談及演 講稿,其中絕大部分都是已經發表過的文稿。儘管如此,用「新瓶 裝舊酒」來形容這本論文集似乎有失公允。正如繪畫領域的編年展 形式能夠令觀者更清晰地感受到畫家藝術風格的演進,本書作為何 光滬「漢語神學」思想的「編年展」,確令讀者得以一窺這位中國 宗教學界的大師級人物在過去二十餘年間對與中國問題、漢語語境 相關聯的基督宗教所進行的思考,以及這種思考的發展歷程。2023-01-01T00:00:00ZJennifer Richards, Voices and Books in the English Renaissance: A New History of Reading

Title: Jennifer Richards, Voices and Books in the English Renaissance: A New History of Reading
Author(s): Drakakis, John
Abstract: First paragraph: In her book Literacy and Orality: Composition, Performance and Transmission (2018) the cultural anthropologist Ruth Finnegan challenges the idea that ‘literary forms [are] sometimes said to go with particular forms of society’, and she associates the work of Marshall McLuhan and Walter Ong with an essentialist ‘binary typology’ dependent upon preserving a fundamental historical distinction between ‘orality’ and ‘literacy’. Jennifer Richards’ new book, with its insistence upon ‘voices’ and subtitled ‘A New History of Reading’ takes to heart Finnegan’s observation that the two categories of speaking and writing are fundamentally trans-historical and have always been ‘mixed’ in practice. This is substantially, though not entirely, the view that cultural anthropologist Jack Goody subscribes to in part, although his suggestion that ‘a new means of communication does not replace the earlier (except in certain limited spheres); it adds to it and alters it’, (Myth, Ritual and The Oral (2010) p.155) offers a crucial modification.2021-06-01T00:00:00ZMoulding a Persona: The Life and Letters of William Sharp and Fiona Macleod

Title: Moulding a Persona: The Life and Letters of William Sharp and Fiona Macleod
Author(s): Shaw, Michael
Abstract: First paragraph: Recognised in her time as the leader of Scotland’s Celtic Revival, Fiona Macleod—the heteronym of Paisley-born novelist, poet and critic, William Sharp (1855-1905)—was described by Hugh MacDiarmid as one of Scotland’s six greatest short story writers. After his death, Sharp’s friend and correspondent, W. B. Yeats, described him as “the most imaginative man ... I have ever known” (Halloran III: 397). Sharp’s work proved enigmatic, influential and popular, and in recent years his writings and life have been the subject of increased critical attention in both Scottish and Victorian studies. But researching and studying Sharp poses several challenges, not least the complicated persona of Macleod and the fact that before she died his wife, Elizabeth A. Sharp, burned a “mass”’ of his papers, and that in her memoir she refrained from telling the full story of Macleod or Sharp because “other people are so much involved” (III: 399).2021-10-01T00:00:00ZPolitics and Performance in Post-Dictatorship Argentine Film and Theatre By Phillippa J.

Abstract: Despite its misleading and limiting equating of the distinct concepts of ‘genre’ and ‘media’, this book productively exploits the value and potential of ‘genre’ as an analytical category and as a site where aesthetic and social boundaries are performatively crossed, (re)negotatiated, reflected upon and questioned. In this respect, this volume’s greatest contribution is that it opens up the fields of Argentine Film and Theatre Studies to the social and the political precisely through hybridization across theatre, the documentary, the fiction film, radio, television and the performativity of social and political practices. If hybridity has long been a ‘fundamental paradigm’ in both Argentine Literary Criticism and Latin American Cultural and Media Studies, it is still under-explored in Argentine Film Studies. This book undoubtedly constitutes an invaluable initiative towards filling this gap.2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
