Etat : Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Over the past decades, monster studies has expanded from a little-known niche to a lively interdisciplinary field. However, modern conceptions of monstrosity continue to receive a disproportionate share of scholarly attention. This volume contributes to the ongoing diversification of monster studies by examining an array of premodern monsters in both Western Judeo-Christian and East Asian Buddhist contexts. Specific topics include dragon-slaying imagery in the Hebrew Bible; dehumanization of non-Christians in the Pauline Epistles; monsterizing portrayals of the early Christian heretic Nestorius; monstrous births in Reformation England; the construction of the demonic feminine in the Japanese Noh play D¿j¿ji; Japanese lore about cannibalistic "mountain hags"; and supposed relics from supernatural creatures in Edo-period Japan. Building on and challenging existing scholarship, the essays in this volume illuminate the many ways in which monsters simultaneously reinforce and subvert normative values, reflecting and refracting the anxieties of the humans who create them.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Monster Studies is a rising academic topic. Despite hesitancy at first, the subject is now examined by scholars of various academic interests and backgrounds. However, the dominant monster investigations are from the post-1900s. This volume focuses on Premodern monsters. The purpose of this volume is to examine various monsters from diverse cultures in order to indicate how each monstrous discourse derives from their mythology's socio-cultural context. The volume examines several Monsters within their socio-cultural matrix. This includes a variety of monstrosities from diverse cultures and periods. Namely, the examined creatures, or perceived creatures, stem from the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament (Pauline epistles), Reformation England, the Japanese Noh play D¿j¿ji, Yamauba Myths, and Y¿kai Relics from early modern Japanese Buddhism. …

Hardback. Etat : New. This volume adds to the scholarly interpretive discourses surrounding the Gospel of Mark and argues that the author of Mark attempts to re-construct social identity after the Second Temple's demise.After the destruction of the Temple, Mark questioned his self-identity through sentiments of social alienation and expressed these emotions through lamenting lost socio-cultural institutions, utilizing creative intellectual attempts to reconcile his lost social-cultural identifiers. The volume analyzes theories regarding the concepts of nationality, identity, and exile, and proposes that Mark is an example of exilic literature, which can be understood through the larger umbrella of post-colonial literature. Readers gain a new understanding of the Gospel of Mark and a new way of dissecting it within a theoretical lens of exilic literature.Exile, Identity, and Reconstructing Belonging in the Gospel of Mark is of interest to students and scholars of Mark and the Gospels, as well as those working on exilic literature and post-colonial theories in the Bible more broadly.…
