Behind the Great Wall

A Post-Jungian Approach to Kafkaesque Literature

By: James Whitlark

This work explores what lies behind the fantastic barrier in a borderland that C. G. Jung called the unconscious, the avant-garde writer Kafka termed incomprehensive, and Whitlark argues is an entire spectrum of muted awareness.

Illuminated Fantasy

From Blake's Visions to Recent Graphic Fiction

By: James Whitlark

The central and later decades of the twentieth century have not only been marked by the popularity of fantasy in general but of fantastic graphics in particular. As a literature relatively new to academic consideration, however, fantasy lacks a universally accepted definition, and no previous author has adequately studied the genral differences between the literalness of realistic illustration and the paradoxes of fantastic illumination. In "Illuminated Fantasy," James Whitlark presents a detailed analysis of the significance of picture/text discrepancy - its history, its various forms, and its psychological complexities.

Strangers on the Earth

Philosophy and Rhetoric in Hebrews

By: James W. Thompson

Contrary to what we might imagine from its title, the Epistle to the Hebrews is immersed in Hellenistic thought. Its author demonstrates an acquaintance with Greco-Roman rhetoric, and often supports his arguments with the assumptions of Hellenistic philosophy. While he shares the apocalyptic worldview of other Jews in this period, he recasts it with the language of Middle Platonism.

The False Promise of Superiority

The United States and Nuclear Deterrence after the Cold War

By: James H. Lebovic

This political analysis exposes the fanciful logic that the United States can use nuclear weapons to vanquish nuclear adversaries or influence them when employing various coercive tactics. During the Cold War, American policymakers sought nuclear advantages to offset an alleged Soviet edge. Policymakers hoped that US nuclear capabilities would safeguard deterrence, when backed perhaps by a set of coercive tactics. But policymakers also hedged their bets with plans to fight a nuclear war to their advantage should deterrence fail. In The False Promise of Superiority, James H. Lebovic argues that the US approach was fraught with peril and remains so today. He contends that the United States can neither simply impose its will on nuclear adversaries nor safeguard deterrence using these same coercive tactics without risking severe, counterproductive effects. As Lebovic shows, the current faith in US nuclear superiority could produce the disastrous consequences that US weapons and tactics are meant to avoid. This book concludes that US interests are best served when policymakers resist the temptation to use, or prepare to use, nuclear weapons first or to brandish nuclear weapons for coercive effect.

The Jesus Revolution

A Transformative Theology of the New Testament

By: James M. Scott

This introduction to a biblical theology of the New Testament seeks to revitalize our engagement with the Scriptures for the twenty-first century by showing not only how the assemblage of ancient writings consisting of both Old and New Testaments is intrinsically relevant, but also how we can remain faithful to Jesus Christ, the organizing principle of those writings, in the process. The book is an invitation to all people of goodwill—believers and unbelievers, liberals and conservatives—to put aside their differences in order to cooperate in the revolution that Jesus inaugurated, the creation of a new and better world in the here and now as an anticipation of the eschatological finale. In an age in which many people are overwhelmed by life and looking for ways to cope, this book offers fresh perspectives and penetrating insights that are grounded in solid biblical scholarship with the aid of contemporary philosophical concepts.

Overcoming Matthew Arnold

Overcoming Matthew Arnold

Ethics in Culture and Criticism

By: James Walter Caufield

Opening the way for a reexamination of Matthew Arnold's unique contributions to ethical criticism, James Walter Caufield emphasizes the central role of philosophical pessimism in Arnold's master tropes of "culture" and "conduct." Caufield uses Arnold's ethics as a lens through which to view key literary and cultural movements of the past 150 years, demonstrating that Arnoldian conduct is grounded in a Victorian ethic of "renouncement," a form of altruism that wholly informs both Arnold's poetry and prose and sets him apart from the many nineteenth-century public moralists. Arnold's thought is situated within a cultural and philosophical context that shows the continuing relevance of "renouncement" to much contemporary ethical reflection, from the political kenosis of Giorgio Agamben and the pensiero debole of Gianni Vattimo, to the ethical criticism of Wayne C. Booth and Martha Nussbaum. In refocusing attention on Arnold's place within the broad history of critical and social thought, Caufield returns the poet and critic to his proper place as a founding father of modern cultural criticism.

Foreign Policy Careers for PhDs

A Practical Guide to a World of Possibilities

By: James Goldgeier,Tamara Cofman Wittes

James Goldgeier and Tamara Cofman Wittes provide a wealth of information, advice, and encouragement to PhDs who are considering a career in the foreign policy ecosystem. Through the authors' own experience and through interviews with over two dozen practitioners, the book offers insights that readers cannot get elsewhere: what policy careers can look like, the range of organizations that are part of the foreign policy ecosystem, how to decide what kind of policy work might fit their passions and skills, and how to pursue finding a job in foreign policy. The book is also a ready resource for academic advisers whose students express an interest in a non-academic career. Goldgeier and Wittes examine the different types of work environments in policy careers in order to help jobseekers explore their motivations and work styles to tailor their job search. This book will reveal the wide array of organizations and environments one can be part of when doing foreign policy: the executive and legislative branches of the US government, think tanks, direct-service organizations, issue-advocacy organizations, philanthropic foundations, corporate, consulting and lobbying firms, and journalism. Finally, the book will help job seekers navigate the policy community and better understand how to build their networks and present their skills and expertise. The book provides advice about how to apply for jobs in the federal government and has appendices that list fellowships, non-governmental organizations, networking groups, and more"--

Decadences - Morality and Aesthetics in British Literature

Second, Revised and Expanded Edition

By: Paul Fox

This revised and expanded volume examines the intersections of aesthetics and morality and asks what Decadence means to art and society at various moments in British literature. As time passes, the definition of what it takes to be D/decadent changes. The decline from a higher standard, social malaise, aesthetic ennui – all these ideas presume certain facts about the past, the present, and the linear nature of time itself. To reject the past as a given, and to relish the subtleties of present nuance, is the beginning of Decadence. The conflict underlying the contributions to this collection is that of society's moral contempt vis-a-vis the focus on the fleeting present on part of the purportedly decadent artists; who in turn thought the truly decadent to be the stranglehold society maintained on individual interpretation and the interpretation of oneself.
