Eco-Theory and Annihilation
Author: Evan Gottlieb
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 2025-03-06
Eco-theory and Annihilation is part of the Film Theory in Practice series, which blends the explanation of a film theory with the interpretation of a film and provides discrete examples of how film theory can serve as the basis for textual analysis. This book offers a concise introduction to eco-theory in jargon-free language and shows how this theory can be deployed to interpret Alex Garland's controversial film adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer's hit novel Annihilation. Eco-theory is one of the most exciting and timely offshoots of contemporary critical theory, but it is too frequently treated as only a recent development. Covering historical developments in nature philosophy, geology, and organic chemistry, as well as contemporary critical methodologies like systems theory and new materialism, Eco-Theory and Annihilation introduces readers to the full extent of eco-theory's lively variations, as well as investigates the complications that arise when those variations are mediated by the generic expectations of filmic science fiction. This book illuminates the deep history of eco-theory, maps its contemporary coordinates, and demonstrates how it can shed light on Garland's provocative eco-sci-fi thriller.

Release Date: 2025-06-19
This two-volume handbook reimagines the role of emotions, offering transformative insights into their significance for individuals, communities, and societies. Volume 1 combines rigorous theoretical exploration, personal narratives, and cutting-edge research to explore the intricate connections between emotions, human development, and positive psychology. Far beyond the confines of emotional well-being, this volume examines the transformative power of emotions in shaping identities and driving personal and collective growth. Through its comprehensive approach, it paints a vivid picture of the human emotional experience while navigating diverse cultural contexts and intergenerational dynamics. This work challenges conventional approaches by integrating perspectives from various cultural backgrounds and cross-cultural experiences, offering readers a deeper understanding of how emotions influence relationships, decision-making, and societal change. It is an indispensable resource for psychologists, researchers, educators, and practitioners aiming to expand their knowledge of emotions in a global context and apply innovative frameworks in their work. Through its synthesis of theory and practice, the handbook invites readers to rethink the emotional dimensions of human experience. It encourages the exploration of new paradigms that highlight the transformative potential of emotions and their ability to shape inclusive and emotionally intelligent communities. This volume is more than a collection of knowledge—it is a call to action for those who seek to understand and harness the transformative potential of emotions. Whether exploring the role of emotions in culturally diverse and transcultural understanding or their impact on personal growth, this handbook opens new pathways for academic inquiry and practical application, redefining how we perceive and engage with the emotional fabric of our world. Emotion science has progressed enormously in the last decade. For those wishing to get insight into the depth and breadth of this progress, this is a terrific, edited 2 volume overview, brought together by two internationally recognised emotion researchers. It takes a biopsychosocial approach exploring the multiple dimensions of emotion science and how it can be applied to many different aspects of human life from therapy through to the organisation of communities. It will be a must have book for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of emotions. Prof Paul Gilbert.

Gott und Geld
Author: Wolfgang Christian Huber

Publisher: Böhlau Wien
Release Date: 2025-05-12
Aufbauend auf dem Bibelzitat "Sogar den Abfall machen sie zu Geld!" (Amos 8,6) zeigt das Stift Klosterneuburg 2025 die Ausstellung "Gott und Geld". 76 Kunstwerke von der Gotik bis in die Gegenwart zeigen, wie zeitlos das Unbehagen gegenüber grenzenlosem Profitstreben ist. Die Beiträge der Finalist:innen des St. Leopold Friedenspreises 2025 bilden dabei den zentralen Teil der Ausstellung. Daneben erörtern Ausstellung und Katalog monetäre Fragen: Wie verträgt sich das Armutsgebot der Orden mit der Regel, dass der gewandelte Wein in der Eucharistiefeier nur mit Gold in Berührung kommen darf? Warum wird in der Heiligen Messe Geld abgesammelt? Wieso sollen wir Gott, der doch alles hat, etwas spenden? Beiträge von Chorherren des Stiftes beleuchten zudem Aspekte des Themas aus theologischem Blickwinkel.
