Desiring China: Experiments in Neoliberalism, Sexuality, and Public Culture (Perverse Modernities)
Lisa Rofel
Duke University Press
, 2007
Through window displays, newspapers, soap operas, gay bars, and other public culture venues, Chinese citizens are negotiating what it means to be cosmopolitan citizens of the world, with appropriate needs, aspirations, and longings. Lisa Rofel argues that the creation of such ?desiring subjects? is at the core of China?s contingent, piece-by-piece reconfiguration of its relationship to a post-socialist world. In a study at once ethnographic, ...
Desiring God's Will: Aligning Our Hearts With The Heart Of God
2 reviews
David G. Benner
InterVarsity Press
, 2005
Knowing God's will
David Benner states in his epilogue that there is a difference between doing the right 'thing' and following the right 'way'. It is by going the right way that our will is most aligned with God's will for us - it is not something that is simply reducible to a list of things to do, or even a figuring out for particular decisions 'What would Jesus do?' This might have a component in the process, ...

The Byzantine Veil all over again
Like the Byzantines who viewed unveiled women as prostitues or lower class women and thus succeeded in creating the veiled Arab woman simply by implying they are a lower class if unveiled, Western literature of the last 1000 years referring to the Arabs as sodomites and pederasts and now, incredibly as homophobes, has imposed its mores and culture on their fluid concepts of Arab sexuality. An ...

Desiring Revolution: Second-wave Feminism and the Rewriting of American Sexual Thought, 1920 to 1982

Jane Gerhard
Columbia University Press
, 2001
Sex and Brains
This book does so many things well: it traces the intellectual history of ideas about female sexuality in pyschology and social thought, and it then discusses how feminists both challenged and used those ideas to make a feminist sexual revolution. But this important intellectual and cultural history is also incredibly fun to read. The chapter on "sex novels" is particularly innovative, and ...

A wonderful companion
I love Italy and I love this book. It is arranged in regional sections, but that is not entirely relevant because the pieces range over time and subject. For example, in the section on The Veneto there is an excerpt from Marcella Hazan's 'Classic Italian Cookbook' (incidentally, one of the very finest cookbooks - a lovely literary work, and the recipes work too!) - on Italian Cooking: where ...

Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation
James K. A., Smith
Baker Academic
, 2009
Malls, stadiums, and universities are actually liturgical structures that influence and shape our thoughts and affections. Humans--as Augustine noted--are "desiring agents," full of longings and passions; in brief, we are what we love. James K. A. Smith focuses on the themes of liturgy and desire in Desiring the Kingdom, the first book in what will be a three-volume set on the theology of culture. He redirects our yearnings to focus on the ...

The book is in three parts. The first part ...
