Born in France as Claude Vorilhon, the former race-car driver founded the religion after he experienced a visitation from the aliens (the "elohim") who, in his cosmology, created humans by cloning themselves. The millenarian movement awaits the return of the alien creators, and in the meantime seeks to develop the potential of its adherents through free love, sexual experimentation, opposition to nuclear proliferation and war, and the development of the science of cloning. Sociologist Susan J. Palmer has studied the Raelian movement for more than a decade, observing meetings and rituals and enjoying unprecedented access to the group's leaders as well as to its rank-and-file members. In this pioneering study she provides a thorough analysis of the movement, focusing on issues of sexuality, millenarianism, and the impact of the scientific worldview on religion and the environment. Rael's radical sexual ethics, his gnostic anthropocentrism, and shallow ecotheology offer us a mirror through which we see how our worldview has been shaped by the forces of globalization, postmodernism, and secular humanism.Unidentified flying objectsUnidentified flying objects.299Palmer Susan J894459MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956940803321Aliens adored4480272UNINA02955nam 2200613 a 450 991096851600332120251117120011.097805110967920511096798978051115809405111580922027/heb07566(CKB)1000000000003307(SSID)ssj0000279861(PQKBManifestationID)11912394(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000279861(PQKBWorkID)10268847(PQKB)10938146(Au-PeEL)EBL3004546(CaPaEBR)ebr10062264(OCoLC)70772514(MiAaPQ)EBC3004546(dli)HEB07566(MiU)MIU01000000000000007426968(EXLCZ)99100000000000330720000802d2001 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrGerman opera from the beginnings to Wagner /John Warrack1st ed.Cambridge ;New York Cambridge University Press2001xiv, 447 p. 1 map, musicCambridge studies in operaBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9780521235327 0521235324 Includes bibliographical references (p. 416-426) and index.Cover -- Half-title -- Series-title -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- CONTENTS -- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- ABBREVIATIONS -- 1 Sixteenth-century beginings -- 2 The Thirty Years War and its aftermath -- 3 The Hamburg enterprise -- 4 Travelling troupes and changing attitudes -- 5 From the Seven Years War to the French Revolution -- 6 The Viennese Singspiel -- 7 Mozart's German operas -- 8 From the French Revolution to the turn of the century -- 9 French opera in Germany after the Revolution -- 10 New critics and singers -- 11 Opera in a new century: the first decade (1) -- 12 Opera in a new century: the first decade (2) -- 13 The groth of Romantic and grand opera -- 14 Romantic opera and grand opera in the 1820s (1) -- 15 Romantic opera and grand opera in the 1820s (2) -- 16 Opera in the mid nineteenth century (1) -- 17 Opera in the mid nineteenth century (2) -- 18 Wagner -- APPENDIX -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEX.German opera from its primitive origins up to Wagner is the subject of this wide-ranging history.
