Patrik Alac

It was in 1946 that the world first came to hear of a coral atoll in the Marshall Islands called Bikini. The following year, French couturier Louis Réard borrowed the name and applied it to a bathing costume for women. Breaking from decades of conformity, Réard dared to ‘undress’ women’s bodies in order to better emphasize what remained clothed - albeit in tiny wisps of material.

Lectio Divina: A Ladder towards God A Patristic Approach to the Scripture
Lectio Divina: A Ladder towards God A Patristic Approach to the Scripture
Dempsey Rosales Acosta

Lectio Divina as a Ladder towards God is a theological work of re-sourcement. As suggested by the word itself, re-sourcement is a return to applying theology to the original sources found in Christianity, namely Scripture, Tradition, the Church Fathers (i.e., Patristics), and Apostolic Teachings. Lectio divina is, therefore, an ancient practice of prayer and hermeneutics with its roots in early Hellenistic Christian and Jewish traditions which takes us directly to the heart of the Christian tradition by drinking directly from the fresh spring of God’s living Word. Consequently, the author articulates this tradition in three parts. Examining this influential history, …

Brazilian Subjectivity Today
Brazilian Subjectivity Today

The emerging field of psychosocial studies signifies a confluence of


disciplines for whom the fantasies, repressions and cultural practices


underlying national identity represents a crucial research focus. This book


presents a psychosocial portrayal of Brazil's arrival on the international


stage in the economic boom of the run-up to its hosting of the 2014 World Cup


and the 2016 Olympic Games. This former Portuguese colony is a country of


contradictions in need of a new image; a nation that needs to be able to both


love and sell itself in today's neo-liberal reality. It argues that a

Marsilio Ficino
Eighteen essays re-examine Marsilio Ficino’s life and work focusing on three essential aspects: his significance in his own times, his spreading influence throughout Europe and over subsequent centuries in many areas of thought and creativity, and his enduring relevance today.
