Responding to the Deregulation of the Political -- Index Secular criticism is a term invented by Edward Said to denote not a theory but a practice that counters the tendency of much modern thinking to reach for a transcendentalist comfort zone, the very space philosophy wrested away from religion in the name of modernity. Using this notion as a compass, this book reconfigures recent secularism debates on an entirely different basis, by showing (1) how the secular imagination is closely linked to society’s radical poiesis, its capacity to imagine and create unprecedented forms of worldly existence; and (2) how the space of the secular animates the desire for a radical democratic politics that overturns inherited modes of subjugation, whether religious or secularist.Gourgouris’s point is to disrupt the co-dependent relation between the religious and the secular—hence, his rejection of fashionable languages of postsecularism—in order to engage in a double critique of heteronomous politics of all kinds. For him, secular criticism is a form of political being: critical, antifoundational, disobedient, anarchic, yet not negative for negation’s sake but creative of new forms of collective reflection, interrogation, and action that alter not only the current terrain of dominant politics but also the very self-conceptualization of what it means to be human.Written in a free and combative style and given both to close readings of texts and to gazing off into the broad horizon, these essays cover a range of issues—historical and philosophical, archaic and contemporary, literary and political—that ultimately converge in the significance of contemporary radical politics: the assembly movements we have seen in various parts of the world in recent years. The secular imagination demands a radical pedagogy and unlearning a great many established thought patterns. Its most important dimension is not battling religion per se but dismantling theological politics of sovereignty in favor of radical conditions for social autonomy.Thinking out loud.LiteraturePhilosophySecularism in literatureCriticismReligion and literatureElectronic books.LiteraturePhilosophy.Secularism in literature.Criticism.Religion and literature.809/.93382Gourgouris Stathis1958-943369MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465069403321Lessons in secular criticism2453853UNINA03655nam 22007331 450 991082609090332120230725045337.01-61277-529-2(CKB)3240000000065165(PromptCat)40019592238(MH)012835539-5(SSID)ssj0000583379(PQKBManifestationID)11343945(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000583379(PQKBWorkID)10566974(PQKB)11685145(MiAaPQ)EBC3120186(OCoLC)794698848(MdBmJHUP)muse6733(Au-PeEL)EBL3120186(CaPaEBR)ebr10789348(CaONFJC)MIL561737(OCoLC)868285769(EXLCZ)99324000000006516520110111h20112011 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrArguing Americanism Franco lobbyists, Roosevelt's foreign policy, and the Spanish Civil War /Michael E.

In Arguing Americanism, author Michael E. Chapman examines the long-overlooked pro-Nationalist argument. Employing new archival sources, Champman documents a small yet effective network of lobbyists who fought to promote General Franco's Nationalist Spain, positing that the debates about the U.S. arms embargo on Spain were never really about Spain but rather about the soul of Americanism, the definition of democracy, and who should be the defining.New studies in U.S. foreign relations.Anti-communist movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryNational characteristics, AmericanPublic opinionUnited StatesHistory20th centurySpainForeign relationsUnited StatesSpainHistoryCivil War, 1936-1939Diplomatic historySpainHistoryCivil War, 1936-1939Foreign public opinion, AmericanSpainHistoryCivil War, 1936-1939Participation, AmericanSpainHistoryCivil War, 1936-1939PropagandaUnited StatesForeign relationsSpainAnti-communist movementsHistoryNational characteristics, American.Public opinionHistory946.081/2Chapman Michael E1675605MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826090903321Arguing Americanism4041226UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress03727nam 2200541 450 991081141500332120230213222813.01-4773-0499-110.7560/710542(CKB)3710000001085472(MiAaPQ)EBC4826284(Au-PeEL)EBL4826284(CaPaEBR)ebr11508375(OCoLC)1022787376(DE-B1597)586866(OCoLC)1286805836(DE-B1597)9781477304990(EXLCZ)99371000000108547220180226h19791979 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierCognitive styles in law schools /by Alfred G.

Alfred G. Smith and his associates studied these differences in a selected group of over 800 students at a score of law schools throughout the United States. Two major cognitive styles were identified: that of the monopath, who follows a single route of established principles and procedures, and that of the polypath, who takes many routes, as circumstances suggest. A battery of both original and standard tests was administered to both law students and their professors to investigate differences in cognitive style and their relationships to self-image, anxiety, and academic achievement. This also revealed differences in prevailing styles at different schools. The results will be of special interest to readers concerned with legal education, to psychologists, and to behavioral scientists. The research format developed here will serve equally well for raising significant questions about the professions of medicine, education, social work, and others in which cognitive and communication styles play a central role in determining outcomes.LawStudy and teachingUnited StatesCognitive stylesUnited StatesLawStudy and teachingCognitive styles340.071173Smith Alfred G(Alfred Goud),1921-1673583Nester Patrick A.Pulford Lynn H.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811415003321Cognitive styles in law schools4037755UNINA
