L’islam offre deux visages : celui d’un monothéisme abstrait, où domine la transcendance de Dieu, au risque d’engendrer le fanatisme. Mais aussi, et surtout, celui, plus discret, mais non moins insistant, d’un monothéisme concret, qui valorise la manifestation visible de l’essence de Dieu dans l’apparition sensible des actions divines. Dans cette étude pionnière qui surprendra par sa liberté de ton, Souâd Ayada renouvelle en profondeur notre connaissance des systèmes de pensée qui ont fondé l’islam des théophanies. Un modèle de sagesse aux antipodes de l’austérité coranique, selon lequel Dieu se donne à voir par l’entremise de l’« homme parfait » et par toutes les formes de beauté qui révèlent sa majesté. Réconciliant l’amour, l’intelligence et la connaissance, cette conception de la révélation, notamment portée par le soufisme, préserve l’islam de toute dérive juridique et politique, et accorde à l’art toute sa place. Elle constitue l’antidote que l’islam a lui-même produit pour guérir le mal du dogmatisme et l’intolérance. Dévoilant les impasses et les contradictions du fondamentalisme, dialoguant avec les sources juives et chrétiennes, confrontant le message du soufisme à la philosophie de Hegel ou à la pensée d’Emmanuel Levinas, Souâd Ayada signe un livre essentiel, en forme de plaidoyer pour une approche audacieuse, exigeante et ouverte de l’islam.

Sign-bearing artifacts are immanent elements of sacred spaces in many cultures. Often, one encounters a phenomenon there that might be described as deliberate "invisibility," the conscious "concealment" of artefacts and writing. The volume examines this interplay of presence and invisibility using the example of sign-bearing artefacts in sacral spaces in various religions in the Near East and Europe. Zeichentragende Artefakte sind in vielen Kulturen immanenter Bestandteil sakraler Räume. Oftmals begegnet man dort einem Phänomen, das sich mit absichtsvoller "Unsichtbarkeit", dem bewussten "Verbergen" von Artefakten und Schrift umschreiben lässt. Diesem Zusammenspiel aus Präsenz und UnSichtbarkeit widmet sich der Sammelband am Beispiel zeichentragender Artefakte in den sakralen Räumen verschiedener Religionen im Vorderen Orient und Europa.

Negotiating nursing explores how the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service (Q.A.s) salvaged men within the sensitive gender negotiations of what should and could constitute nursing work and where that work could occur. The book argues that the Q.A.s, an entirely female force during the Second World War, were essential to recovering men physically, emotionally and spiritually from the battlefield and for the war, despite concerns about their presence on the frontline. The book maps the developments in nurses’ work as the Q.A.s created a legitimate space for themselves in war zones and established nurses’ position as the expert at the bedside. Using a range of personal testimony the book demonstrates how the exigencies of war demanded nurses alter the methods of nursing practice and the professional boundaries in which they had traditionally worked, in order to care for their soldier-patients in the challenging environments of a war zone. Although they may have transformed practice, their position in war was highly gendered and it was gender in the post-war era that prevented their considerable skills from being transferred to the new welfare state, as the women of Britain were returned to the home and hearth. The aftermath of war may therefore have augured professional disappointment for some nursing sisters, yet their contribution to nursing knowledge and practice was, and remains, significant.

Warum identifizieren sich Fachkräfte der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe leidenschaftlich mit dem Gerechtigkeitsideal der Vielfalt? Welche Verheißungen stecken im professionellen Ideal der Diversity-reflexiven Beziehung? Marie Frühauf nimmt in ihrer feministisch-lacanianisch angelegten Studie jenes Begehren in den Blick, das Fachkräfte an Vielfalt heften. Die damit verbundene Ausgestaltung der pädagogischen Beziehung deutet sie vor dem Hintergrund einer postödipalen und zugleich geschlechtsspezifischen Gesellschaftskonstellation, in welcher der Andere innerhalb der pädagogischen Beziehung paradoxerweise an Bedeutung zu verlieren scheint.

A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org.Louder and Faster is a cultural study of the phenomenon of Asian American taiko, the thundering, athletic drumming tradition that originated in Japan. Immersed in the taiko scene for twenty years, Deborah Wong has witnessed cultural and demographic changes and the exponential growth and expansion of taiko particularly in Southern California. Through her participatory ethnographic work, she reveals a complicated story embedded in memories of Japanese American internment and legacies of imperialism, Asian American identity and politics, a desire to be seen and heard, and the intersection of culture and global capitalism. Exploring the materialities of the drums, costumes, and bodies that make sound, analyzing the relationship of these to capitalist multiculturalism, and investigating the gender politics of taiko, Louder and Faster considers both the promises and pitfalls of music and performance as an antiracist practice. The result is a vivid glimpse of an Asian American presence that is both loud and fragile.
