Active in southern Italy and Sicily where Franciscans had adopted the apocalyptic teachings of Joachim of Fiore, Abulafia believed the end of days was approaching and saw himself as chosen by God to reveal the Divine truth. He appropriated Joachite ideas, fusing them with his own revelations, to create an apocalyptic and messianic scenario that he was certain would attract his Jewish contemporaries and hoped would also convince Christians. From his focus on the centrality of the Tetragrammaton (the four letter ineffable Divine name) to the date of the expected redemption in 1290 and the coming together of Jews and Gentiles in the inclusiveness of the new age, Abulafia's engagement with the apocalyptic teachings of some of his Franciscan contemporaries enriched his own worldview. Though his messianic claims were a result of his revelatory experiences and hermeneutical reading of the Torah, they were, to no small extent, dependent on his historical circumstances and acculturation. 606 $aCabala$xHistory 606 $aEcstasy (Judaism) 606 $aSalvation 606 $aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $aHistory$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 615 0$aCabala$xHistory. 615 0$aEcstasy (Judaism) 615 0$aSalvation. 615 0$aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity. 615 0$aHistory$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 676 $a296.8/2 700 $aHames$b Harvey J$0628565 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969549803321 996 $aLike angels on Jacob's ladder$91230261 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02137nam 22004093a 450 001 9910857780403321 005 20250204000234.0 010 $a9781910634547 024 8 $a10.14324/111.9781910634547 035 $a(CKB)32156649100041 035 $a(ScCtBLL)43374b7f-24d9-484c-9e4c-4d6347dca26f 035 $a(OCoLC)945783749 035 $a(EXLCZ)9932156649100041 100 $a20250204i20162020 uu 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aSocial Media in Southeast Turkey$fElisabetta Costa 210 1$aLondon :$cUCL Press,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (1 p.) 311 08$a9781910634547 311 08$a1910634549 330 $aThis book presents an ethnographic study of social media in Mardin, a medium-sized town located in the Kurdish region of Turkey. The town is inhabited mainly by Sunni Muslim Arabs and Kurds, and has been transformed in recent years by urbanisation, neoliberalism and political events. Elisabetta Costa uses her 15 months of ethnographic research to explain why public-facing social media is more conservative than offline life. Yet, at the same time, social media has opened up unprecedented possibilities for private communications between genders and in relationships among young people - Costa reveals new worlds of intimacy, love and romance. She also discovers that, when viewed from the perspective of people's everyday lives, political participation on social media looks very different to how it is portrayed in studies of political postings separated from their original complex, and highly socialised, context. 606 $aSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & Social$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & Social 615 7$aSocial Science 615 0$aSocial sciences. 700 $aCosta$b Elisabetta$0599400 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 912 $a9910857780403321 996 $aSocial Media in Southeast Turkey$93022660 997 $aUNINA
