"Public Religions in the Future World is the first book to map the utopian terrain of the political-religious movements of the past four decades. David Morris started researching this book years ago when, backed by the resurgent power of American fundamentalists, George W. Bush promised to rid the world of evil. Religious visions of a utopian future were everywhere. In the time since, utopian fictions have drawn on religion to imagine futures of renewed human care and community over and against the relentless economic logics of neoliberalism. Examining a politically diverse set of utopian fictions, this book cuts across the usual right/left political divisions to show a surprising convergence: each political-religious vision imagines a revived world of care and community over and against the relentless economization and fragmentation of neoliberalism. Understanding these religions as utopian movements in reaction to neoliberalism, Public Religions invites us to rethink the bases of religious identification and practice. Offering new insights on texts from the Left Behind series to the novels of Octavia Butler, Public Religions shows that the present moment crackles with a utopian energy that opens new opportunities for political organizing and genuine, lasting community building"--

Illness has changed in the postmodern era - roughly the period since World War II - as dramatically as technology, transportation, and the texture of everyday life. Exploring these changes, this title tells the fascinating story of what goes into making the postmodern experience of illness different, perhaps unique. We become ill in ways our parents and grandparents did not, with diseases unheard of and treatments undreamed of by them. Illness has changed in the postmodern era - roughly the period since World War II - as dramatically as technology, transportation, and the texture of everyday life. Exploring these changes, David B. Morris tells the fascinating story, or stories, of what goes into making the postmodern experience of illness different, perhaps unique. Even as he decries the overuse and misuse of the term 'postmodern', Morris shows how brightly ideas of illness, health, and postmodernism illuminate one another in late-twentieth-century culture. Modern medicine traditionally separates disease - an objectively verified disorder - from illness - a patient's subjective experience. Postmodern medicine, Morris says, can make no such clean distinction; instead, it demands a biocultural model, situating illness at the crossroads of biology and culture. Maladies such as chronic fatigue syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder signal our awareness that there are biocultural ways of being sick. The biocultural vision of illness not only blurs old boundaries but also offers a new and infinitely promising arena for investigating both biology and culture. In many ways "Illness and Culture in the Postmodern Age" leads us to understand our experience of the world differently.
