An oft-neglected subject, right-wing women are an important component in understanding the many racist, fascist, and anti-feminist movements of the 20th century. Providing original research on an array of right-wing groups around the world, the contributors paint a disturbing and complicated portrait of the women involved in these movements. From Mussolini supporters to Klanswomen, this collection provides an eye-opening look at extremist women.
The topic of sexuality intersects directly with the most contested historical, theological, and ethical questions of our day. In this edgy yet profound volume, noted scholars and theologians assay the Christian tradition's classic and contemporary understandings of sex, sexuality, and sexual identity. The project unfolds in three phases: contemporary assessments of the Christian tradition, new thinking about eros and being human religiously, and new perspectives on classic mysteries in light of eros and embodiment.
Many young Australians are struggling with issues of mental health, anxiety about the future, and addictions to drugs. Behind these struggles are often questions of what life is all about. Youth ministry is more important today than at any time in recent history. Yet, many churches are finding it difficult to connect with youth beyond those whose families are involved in the church. This book has arisen out of Australian research into youth ministry, from visiting youth groups and talking with youth leaders and the youth themselves. It offers a vision for the development of youth ministry, recognising the diversity of youth and the backgrounds from which they come. It explores how to build a youth ministry team and the qualities needed in the team. It discusses issues of training, payment, and support for youth leaders and building bridges with parents, church and school. What are the factors which will really make a difference in developing youth ministry? Based on research, our conclusions are: •The vision for developing the spirit of young people •The commitment of the whole church to youth ministry •The youth ministry team with strong relationships with God, each other, the youth, parents, the church and the wider society; •A diversity of activities: both age-specific and intergenerational for fun, friends, inquiry and developing the spirit.
The authors discuss the nature of language and words, and suggest activities that use words in various forms, including name games, fancy lettering, word puzzles, and secret messages. Cartoons.
This book analyzes practices of collecting in European art museums from 1989 to the present, arguing that museums actualize absence both consciously and unconsciously, while misrepresentation is an outcome of the absent perspectives and voices of minority community members which are rarely considered in relation to contemporary art. Difficult knowledge is proposed as a way of dealing with absence productively. Drawing on social art history, museology, postcolonial theory, and memory studies, Margaret Tali analyzes the collections of four modern and contemporary art museums across Europe: the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, the Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art in Budapest, the Kiasma Museum in Helsinki, and the Kumu Museum in Tallinn.
Le langi est une langue bantu parlee dans la region de Kondoa, en Tanzanie centrale. Cette region est une des seules ou se cotoient des langues des quatre familles linguistiques africaines: Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharienne, Afroasiatique et Khoisan. La langue compte actuellement environ 300.000 locuteurs, mais est gravement menacee par l'expansion du swahili: elle n'est quasiment plus transmise aux enfants. Ce livre constitue le premiere description du langi, qui, jusqu'a maintenant, n'etait connu que par une liste de mots relevee par Otto Dempwolff en 1916. Fondee entierement sur des donnees de premiere main, recoltees au cours de plusieurs voyages en Tanzanie, cette monographie couvre l'ensemble des niveaux de l'analyse linguistique, adaptee aux langues bantu: la phonetique, la phonologie, le systeme nominal, le systeme verbal et enfin les fonctions syntaxiques. Ce travail a permis de mettre en exergue un certain nombre de particularites qui font du langi une langue typologiquement surprenante.
