Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book explores Tantrism in Bengal as a lived cultural and social tradition rather than a marginal or esoteric religious practice. Situating Tantra within everyday devotion, poetry, ritual, and historical experience, it highlights its continuing relevance for understanding religion, society, and power in South Asia. The book offers an interdisciplinary examination of how Tantric ideas, symbols, and practices shaped Bengal's intellectual and social worlds across precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial contexts. Drawing on historical sources, vernacular literature, mythology, and cultural analysis, it traces the movement of Tantra from ritual secrecy to public expression through songs, devotional practices, and embodied forms of spirituality. It brings together perspectives from religious studies, history, sociology, and political thought to examine how Tantric idioms informed social imagination, ethical reflection, and cultural creativity in Bengal. The book opens new ways of thinking about the relationship between spirituality, culture, and social experience, inviting readers to reconsider the place of Tantrism within the broader landscape of South Asian intellectual and cultural history.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Isabella Villanova's study moves beyond traditional paradigms of resistance to reveal how selfhood and community are mutually constitutive within African women's writing. Her meticulous readings connect local contexts to transnational feminist debates with clarity and sophistication. This work stands as an important and timely contribution to scholarship on African feminism and gendered agency.'-Professor Chielozona Eze, Carleton College, United States'How do we wrap our heads around the enigmatic tapestry of expansive possibilities and Sisyphean impossibilities that frame African women's lifeworlds This timely cross-generational reflection on the lives and thought of four canonical African women writers offers some pointers. Isabella Villanova's cross-regional reading offers fresh insights into the still-urgent question of the forms of agency, resistance and world-making that African women enact.' -Professor Grace A. Musila, Department of African Literature, University of the Witwatersrand, South AfricaThe book presents the first comparative study of four prominent African women writers: Buchi Emecheta and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie from Nigeria, and Tsitsi Dangarembga and Yvonne Vera from Zimbabwe. The study explores issues of gender and resistance, while historicising and emphasising the literary legacies and genealogies of Anglophone African women's writing from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The twelve novels analysed (1972-2018)-set in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom, and the United States-depict women enduring multiple, intersecting forms of oppression, yet exercising agency and often employing extreme strategies to resist these restrictions. The theoretical framework draws on Black feminist, postcolonial, and African diasporic perspectives. Through a comparative and ethnographic approach, the author maps a pan-African route that connects different countries and historical periods, highlighting shared experiences of women and girls across the continent and beyond. This book was the Joint Winner of the 2022 Peter Lang Emerging Scholars Competition in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies in the field of Literature and Culture.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book foregrounds the place of ritual in the reintegration of female ex-child soldiers in Northern Uganda. These rituals, both Christian and traditional Acholi, are performed upon the return of child soldiers, and witnessed by family and community. Based on extensive fieldwork, the book aims to give voice to girls (now women) who were abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army during the insurgency of the 1980s and 1990s. Through interviews and first-person narratives, author Christine Mpyangu documents the traumatic impact of abduction and conflict on child soldiers, how this affects their return to civilian life, and how ritual can help in rebuilding broken lives. 'This is a powerful and important book that documents the lived experiences of female ex-child soldiers in Northern Uganda with remarkable clarity. By analysing Acholi rituals of reconciliation and reintegration, Christine Mbabazi Mpyangu provides an essential contribution to scholarship on conflict recovery, gender, and cultural healing.' -Christopher Kavanagh, Oxford University, Centre for the Study of Social Cohesion 'This book advances scholarship in the field of child protection and champions an environment that is safe for the growth and development of children.' -Eddy J. Walakira, Professor of Social Work (Children & Youth), Makerere University 'The study brings new and deep knowledge about rituals and the Acholi context, addressing social, cultural, and psychological aspects of reintegration. Moreover, the book is beautifully written with compassion and great respect, providing a moving account of dignity.' -Ragnhild Dybdahl, Associate Professor of Global Mental Health, University of Bergen.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing social inequities and produced a 'shadow pandemic' of gender-based violence, including on post-secondary campuses where rates of gender-based violence are already exceptionally high. The shadow pandemic came at a time when post-secondary institutions were already facing unprecedented pressure to respond to gender-based violence-and sexual violence in particular-on campus. Drawing on insights from researchers, practitioners, and student activists from across North America and the United Kingdom, and grounded in an anti-oppressive, feminist abolitionist, intersectional feminist framework, this book reflects on the ways that the pandemic impacted gender-based violence on campus and highlights the generative methods, both conceptually and practically, that those in the field are using to respond. The insights in each chapter provide lessons from the pandemic that inform how we can reject a 'return to normal' and, instead, imagine new possibilities for more just campuses and worlds moving forward. 238 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This anthology pinpoints how interdisciplinarity can strengthen democratic knowledge communities. The authors show that interdisciplinarity is not only a methodological choice but also a political and cultural stance. It challenges entrenched hierarchies of expertise, creates space for alternative voices and fosters co-production of knowledge responsive to complex societal problems. The urgency of making interdisciplinary practices the norm rather than the exception is emphasised, and the book warns of what is at stake if these debates are ignored. Without deliberate efforts to integrate diverse perspectives, knowledge risks becoming either narrowly technocratic or so fragmented that it loses the capacity to inform collective decision-making. Both scenarios threaten the democratic promise of knowledge as a shared resource for society, and it is argued that legitimacy, access, and responsiveness are not optional add-ons but prerequisites for meaningful knowledge communities. 232 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume focuses on 'Doing and Negotiating Intercultural Theology'. Specifically, it introduces a 'third way' of practising intercultural theology, which goes beyond two previous approaches: Firstly, until now, the term 'intercultural theology' has referred to a theological subject or discipline. Secondly, it characterised a certain cross-disciplinary dimension of theological reflection. As a 'third way', beyond these sub-concepts, ICT is broadened, critically reflected upon and explored in depth by everyone involved in interdisciplinary theological studies, including lecturers, students, researchers and readers. This is in reference to global religious and academic exchange processes.The ten chapters of the volumes therefore offer specific access to the concept of intercultural theology. The authors - nine professors who taught at the University of Applied Sciences for Intercultural Theology (FIT) in Hermannsburg, Germany, and one former MA student who later became a lecturer - share their insights into ICT, which they developed and refined through their teaching and learning experience at FIT between 2012 and 2025. Each chapter reflects on personal and shared experiences of ICT. Thus, ICT brings together traditional fields of study, including Mission Studies, Intercultural Biblical Hermeneutics, History of Mission, Ecumenical Studies, Religious Studies, Religious Education, and Development Studies. 338 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This collection of essays by established McGahern scholars and others interested in his work was put together to assess the writer's current status some 20 years after his death in 2006. The Companion covers various aspects of McGahern's oeuvre: the reception of his books among readers and literary critics; his epistolary exchanges with publishers, friends and family, and the adaptations that have been done of a certain number of his works, most recently the film version of his novel, That They May Face the Rising Sun (2023). It seeks to explain the reasons why, during his career, McGahern became, in the words of Professor Declan Kiberd, 'the greatest Irish prose writer in English of the latter half of the twentieth century'. The volume draws on the McGahern Archive at University of Galway, including previously unpublished images and material, enabling readers and scholars to engage with the processes and writing of McGahern in new ways. 'The words of McGahern were etched onto every page, so we read them as a blind person reads braille. He was a stylist but one whose lines carried the imprint of lived, felt experience. The essays collected here are a worthy tribute to his remarkably European range of thought and feeling; and the multiple backgrounds of the essayists testify to an art in which every word speaks with powerful reticence to the world. Companionable yet also solitary, the writers unerringly and in astonishingly varied ways capture the lonely crowd which moves through his stories'.
