Religion, Modernity, Globalisation: Nation-State to Market (Routledge Studies in Religion)
by François GauthierThis book argues that the last four decades have seen profound and important changes in the nature and social location of religion, and that those changes are best understood when cast against the associated rise of consumerism and neoliberalism. These transformations are often misunderstood and underestimated, namely because the study of religion remains dependent on the secularisation paradigm which can no longer provide a sufficiently fruitful framework for analysis.The book challenges diagnoses of transience and fragmentation by proposing an alternative narrative and set of concepts for understanding the global religious landscape. The present situation is framed as the result of a shift from a National-Statist to a Global-Market regime of religion. Adopting a holistic perspective that breaks with the current specialisation tendencies, it charts the emergence of the State and the Market as institutions and ideas related to social order, as well as their changing rapports from classical modernity to today. Breaking with a tradition of Western-centeredness, the book offers probing enquiries into Indonesia and a synthesis of global and Western trends.This long-awaited book offers a bold new vision for the social scientific study of religion and will be of great interest to all scholars of the Sociology and Anthropology of religion, as well as Religious Studies in general.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons-Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Une écriture en mouvement: Les correspondances d'écrivains francophones au Canada (Archives des lettres canadiennes)
by Michel Biron Stéphanie BernierLa correspondance écrite ou l’écriture de lettres joue un rôle central dans l’histoire littéraire canadienne-française, offrant une compréhension unique des œuvres et de leurs contextes.L’activité des épistolières et épistoliers majeurs est au cœur de cette réflexion, mettant en lumière ceux et celles qui ont façonné leur écriture à travers la lettre, qu’il s’agisse d’échanges intimes ou publics. Leur singularité réside dans l’originalité de leurs propos, de leur style, ainsi que dans leurs commentaires révélateurs de leur poétique et de leur époque. Par leurs correspondances, ils explorent des idées audacieuses, une introspection profonde et tissent des liens sociaux, réels ou imaginaires, souvent entretenus à travers ces échanges épistolaires. Une écriture en mouvement : les correspondances d’écrivains francophones au Canada : XVIII comprend une introduction générale, seize articles consacrés aux épistoliers et épistolières ayant joué un rôle central dans l’histoire littéraire au Québec et au Canada français, deux articles thématiques, l’un portant sur la lettre dans les littératures autochtones et l’autre sur la lettre à l’ère numérique ainsi qu'une bibliographie des écrits épistolaires parus au Québec et au Canada français sous forme de livre.Cet ouvrage met en évidence la diversité des usages épistolaires tout en soulignant un point commun : celui d’écrire à quelqu’un ou à plusieurs personnes. Parce que la lettre constitue toujours une forme d’adresse à autrui, elle incarne l’interaction constante entre la littérature et le monde.

Big Box USA: The Environmental Impact of America’s Biggest Retail Stores (Path to Open)
by Rachel S. Gross Bart Elmore Sherri SheuBig Box USA presents a new look at how the big box retail store has dramatically reshaped the US economy and its ecosystems in the last half century. From the rural South to the frigid North, from inside stores to ecologies far beyond, this book examines the relationships that make up one of the most visible features of late twentieth-century and early twenty-first-century American life. The rise of big box retail since the 1960s has transformed environments on both local and global scales. Almost everyone has explored the aisles of big box stores. The allure of “everyday low prices” and brightly colored products of every kind connect shoppers with a global marketplace. Contributors join a growing conversation between business and environmental history, addressing the ways American retail institutions have affected physical and cultural ecologies around the world. Essays on Walmart, Target, Cabela’s, REI, and Bass Pro Shops assess the “bigness” of these superstores from “smokestacks to coat racks” and contend that their ecological impacts are not limited to the footprints of parking lots and manufacturing but also play a didactic role in educating consumers about their relationships with the environment. A model for historians seeking to bring business and environmental histories together in their analyses of merchant capital’s role in the landscapes of everyday life and how it has remade human relationships with nature, Big Box USA is a must-read for students and scholars of the environment, business, sustainability, retail professionals, and a general audience.

Decoding Luigi Moretti's Architettura Parametrica: Negotiating Theory and Practice in the Forecasting of Computer-Aided Architectural Design
by Giuseppe CanestrinoDecoding Luigi Moretti’s Architettura Parametrica presents an unprecedented critical discussion of one of the earliest theoretical and practical explorations into the integration of scientific thought, mathematical models, and digital tools in architectural design. Moretti, a renowned professional who engaged in countless intellectual initiatives, developed and refined his architectural vision long before “parametric” became synonymous with computational design. His Architettura Parametrica is an unconventional inquiry of the prospects offered to design practice by digital thinking rather than by digital tools, which were still immature or completely absent at the time. Moretti proposed a unique and still relevant mental landscape that united his fascination with Baroque spatiality, operational research, informal art, optics, cybernetics, ethics, and much more. This research decodes numerous facets of Architettura Parametrica, from the rigid theoretical precepts to the negotiation with design praxis, from the use of equations to aid the research of forms to the speculation on the meaning of architecture through abstract mathematics.This book offers novel perspectives to scholars interested in the interplay between architectural design practice and theory, mathematics and design methods, digital and architectural culture, and to the growing number of practitioners who are crafting personal narratives within the most disruptive computational techniques.

Race and the Politics of Fear: A History of an American Oligarchic Construct (Routledge Advances in American History)
by J. Noel HublerRace and the Politics of Fear is a study of the role of race in American political history. It takes a novel approach by using Aristotle’s theory of the mixed regime to analyze the American system. Aristotle’s mixed regime - containing elements of oligarchy and democracy - was well-known to the Founders, who used it to design the Constitution. Accordingly, American political history has unfolded as a struggle between oligarchic and democratic forces. Oligarchs have frequently used race to divide the people and maintain power.This book traces the oligarchic construction of race from its creation in the Colonial period and through a study of four major figures. James Madison helped formulate the Constitution to provide protection for the Southern oligarchies and was a founder of the Democratic-Republican party dominated by Southern interests. John C. Calhoun’s theory of the concurrent majority provided a blueprint for the South’s political strategy in the Jim Crow era. Ben Tillman redefined race primarily as a feeling as an excuse for the South’s violent oppression of the black community. Ronald Reagan retooled the traditional racist myths and made them palatable to a national audience.Readable yet extensively documented, it is appropriate for general audiences and scholars.
Bonding Systems and Equipment
by Gregory P. BieralsThe proper bonding of systems and equipment is critical for the protection of people and equipment.

Hindu Bhakti Through Muslim Eyes: Islam and Caitanya Vaiṣṇavism in the Twenty-First Century (Routledge Studies in Religion)
by R. David CoolidgeHindu Bhakti Through Muslim Eyes puts the Caitanya Vaiṣṇava tradition of devotion to Krishna in scholarly conversation with Islam for the first time. It builds on a millennium of Muslim reflections regarding Hindu theology and practice, despite common assumptions that Hindus and Muslims are destined for misunderstanding and conflict. Beginning with al-Bīrūnī in the 11th Century, Muslims often commented on the beliefs and practices of the Hindu tradition in relation to their own tradition of Islam. This process continues until today, as Muslims increasingly articulate a scholarly perspective on our planet's religious diversity. Centered in the author’s Islamic theological, ethical, and liturgical commitments, this study explores the tradition of Krishna worship traced to the charismatic figure Caitanya who preached in the Bengal Sultanate of the early 16th Century. The book explores possibilities for Muslim interreligious scholarship beyond Judeo-Christian frameworks, as well as the revival of al-Bīrūnī's legacy in the 21st Century. Relevant for scholars in Islamic Studies, Hindu Studies, Interreligious Studies, Comparative Theology, and Decolonial Studies, Hindu Bhakti Through Muslim Eyes forges new ground in Muslim scholarship regarding religious and cultural pluralism. In particular, it offers a model of engagement built on patient learning of a different textual corpus and communal praxis, while still remaining rooted in the Islamic tradition as a distinctive intellectual paradigm.
