Ashford David: A Book of Monsters

A Book of Monsters

Promethean Horror in Modern Literature and Culture

Understanding Religion and Society aims to help undergraduate students understand the roles that religion plays within social life, and how these roles influence the economic, political, and socio-cultural aspects of different societies. Scott-Jones reviews a range of key issues and debates within the social science study of religion, and explores key global religious trends. The book has a range of pedagogic features, including short case studies, reflective questions and activities, suggested readings, media and online resources.

Examining the rise of Irish crime novels in the twenty-first century, Maureen Reddy argues that writers such as Ken Bruen, Benjamin Black, Tana French, Niamh O'Connor, Cormac Millar, Stuart Neville, Brian McGilloway, Declan Hughes, and Declan Burke are collectively working through the problem of defining Irishness and grappling with deep anxieties about a society that is rapidly changing in the face of a globalized, late capitalist culture.

The Boys&nbsp;meets&nbsp;Starter Villain&nbsp;and&nbsp;Assistant to the Villain&nbsp;in Natalie Zina Walschots's electrifying, sharp, violent, and hilarious sequel to the highly acclaimed novel,&nbsp;Hench,&nbsp;in which the Auditor must confront the near-impossible in order to right the many wrongs in the superhuman industry...or cause more of them. She's not picky. Anna, better known to superheroes as the Auditor, has carved out a name for herself. Any hero unlucky enough to cross her path knows her potential and powers. Surely, success should taste sweet: she has an incredible job with lots of perks, and her boss will&nbsp;literally&nbsp;annihilate anyone who crosses her, and her greatest enemy, the former hero Supercollider, has been utterly defeated and literally ground to a pulp. But Anna still has her sights set on a greater work: destroying the Draft, the organization that makes, trains, and manages the world's most powerful superheroes. These "heroes" have shown time and time again that they do more harm than good, and now is the time to stop the damage at its source. Yet all is not well for the Auditor and her fellow evildoers. Her employer, Leviathan-the world's most feared supervillain-is not coping well with Supercollider's defeat at someone else's hands. Moreover, her unlikely ally and unexpected friend, Quantum Entanglement, has vanished without a trace, leaving Anna to examine all the ways they deceived each other. Tension and uncertainty fill the air, and fear that this moment of triumph is about to crumble looms over all of them. Anna soon finds herself facing down an opponent unlike any she's taken on before-not another superhero, but someone like her...someone much more dangerous: the Draft's Chief Marketing Officer. This isn't a test of physical prowess, but ideas, and as the fight spirals deeper and deeper, with new foes popping up every day-she'll need more than just her superpower-data research-to keep ascending through the supervillain ranks. It's guerrilla ad warfare, and the Auditor might have finally met her match.

A Curse of Fate and Wolves

Positioning Henry James within his transatlantic and pan-European contexts, Peter Rawlings relocates James and the New Criticism's ideology of organicism in biology rather than in aesthetics. He argues that the novel as a character-driven genre emerged from philosophical and scientific thinking about consciousness and that James's canonization must be reexamined in the context of the philosophical, physiological, and biological discourses on which he drew in his theory and practice as a novelist.

Their will or their love for each other?Only two things are certain:One of them will die. And the other will have killed them.

Grundthemen der Literaturwissenschaft

Die Zeit, als unter der Bezeichnung 'Adaptionen' vor allem Literaturverfilmungen verstanden und wissenschaftlich untersucht wurden, ist lange vorbei. Andere Medien als Literatur und Film sowie andere Adaptionsprozesse als der klassische Medienwechsel sind insbesondere seit den späten 1990er Jahren immer stärker in den Fokus der sog. Adaptation Studies gerückt. Das vorliegende Handbuch bietet als erstes deutschsprachiges Werk einen umfassenden Überblick über die Formen, Konzepte und Praktiken von Adaption, die in diesem Zusammenhang zum Gegenstand literatur-, kultur- und medienwissenschaftlicher Forschung geworden sind. Es präsentiert die derzeit aktuellen Fragestellungen und Theorien des Faches ebenso wie dessen Beschäftigung mit verwandten Phänomenen wie z.B. Übersetzung und Serialität. Neben der Betrachtung von Adaption als einem textlichen, kulturellen und nicht zuletzt ökonomischen Phänomen lotet der Band außerdem gezielt das Potenzial von Adaptionskonzepten aus anderen geistes- und naturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen für die Literaturwissenschaft aus. Das Buch ermöglicht Studierenden, Lehrenden und Forschenden somit einen fundierten Einblick in die Themen und Fragestellungen der Adaptation Studies.

The book seeks to move forward debates on postsecularity as conceived by Habermas et.al. which recognise that, contrary to secular expectations, religion persists. The study is unique in exploring the irruptions (external breakthroughs) that unsettle secularisation and which give rise to postsecularisation. This shift has rendered sociology vulnerable to some unexpected theological considerations, some of which are explored in the study. Topics considered in the study, which make it accessible, include: dilemmas of naming; emotions and the visual; martyrdom and theodicy. Each of these has irruptive properties that force sociology to reconsider its theological debts. Postsecularity has become a fashionable term, but one which needs to be fleshed out and this study grasps a moment of opportunity to do so, which renders it original.
