"Undocumented Saints follows the migration of popular saints from Mexico into the US and the evolution of their meaning. The book explores how Latinx battles for survival are performed in the worlds of faith, religiosity, and the imaginary, and how the socio-political realities of exploitation and racial segregation frame their popular religious expressions. It also tracks the emergence of inter-religious states, transnational ethnic and cultural enclaves unified by faith. The book looks at five vernacular saints that have emerged in Mexico and whose devotions have migrated into the US in the last one hundred years: Jesús Malverde, a popular bandido turned saint caudillo; Santa Olguita, an emerging feminist saint linked to border women's experiences of sexual violence; Juan Soldado, a murder-rapist soldier who is now a patron for undocumented immigrants and the main suspect in the death of an eight-year-old victim known now as Santa Olguita; Toribio Romo, a Catholic priest whose ghost/spirit has been helping people cross the border into the US since the 1990s; and La Santa Muerte, a controversial personification of death who is particularly popular among LGBTQ migrants. Each chapter contextualizes a particular popular saint within broader discourses about the construction of masculinity and the state, the long history of violence against Latina and migrant women, female erasure from history, discrimination against non-normative sexualities, and as US and Mexican investment in the control of religiosity within the discourses of immigration."

"The Second Council of Nicaea (787) decreed that religious images were to set up in churches and venerated. It thereby established the cult of icons as a central element in the piety of the Orthodox churches, as it has remained ever since. In the West its decrees received a new emphasis in the Counter-Reformation, in the defence of the role of art in religion. It is a text of prime importance for the iconoclast controversy of eighth-century Byzantium, one of the most explored and contested topics in Byzantine history. But it has also a more general significance - in the history of culture and the history of art. This edition offers the first translation that is based on the new critical edition of this text in the Acta Conciliorum Oecumenicorum series, and the first full commentary of this work that has ever been written. It will be of interest to a wide range of readers from a variety of disciplines."--

Stürme, Piraten, Orientierungslosigkeit, fremde Küsten – solche Motive begegnen uns in Erfahrungsberichten und literarischen Darstellungen von Schiffsreisen in verschiedenen kulturell-religiösen Kontexten des Mittelmeerraumes. Der Band enthält Beiträge zu komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Religion, Frömmigkeit und Meer aus der Sicht u.a. von Kunstgeschichte, Archäologie oder Byzantinistik. Relevanz kam Kräften zu, die Rettung und Schutz vor den Gefahren des Meeres versprachen. Für viele mediterrane Beziehungen spielten Heiligenverehrung in Texten, Bildern und anderen Medien eine bedeutende Rolle. Schutzheilige wurden durch ihre Geschichten oder Martyrien mit maritimen Wagnissen und dem Meer im Allgemeinen in Verbindung gebracht und um Hilfe angerufen. In unterschiedlichen Milieus, unter Kauf- und Seeleuten oder Küstenbewohnern, erfuhren diese Heiligen besondere Verehrung.

Paul Theks Werkgruppe der "Technological Reliquaries" rekurriert auf die Bildsprache von Reliquie und Reliquiar, bricht aber mit deren traditioneller Gestaltungsform. Die künstlerische Bedeutungsverschiebung ist aufschlussreich für ein zeitgemäßes theologisches Verständnis der Reliquienverehrung. Der US-amerikanische Künstler Paul Thek (1933-1988) stellt seine Werke in die Rezeptionsgeschichte der christlichen Reliquientradition. Die Werke gestalten die Verflechtung von Bild und Körper neu und bringen dadurch die aktuellen Körper- und Bilddiskurse von Theologie und Kunst miteinander ins Gespräch. Die Kunstwerke zeigen sich als fruchtbar für das theologische Nachdenken über Reliquie und Reliquiar, ebenso wie die theologische Perspektive zu einem vielschichtigen Verständnis der Werke Paul Theks beiträgt.

"This third edition of Ira M. Lapidus's classic A History of Islamic Societies has been substantially revised to incorporate the insights of new scholarship and updated to include historical developments in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Lapidus's history explores the beginnings and transformations of Islamic civilizations in the Middle East and details Islam's worldwide diffusion to Africa, Spain, Turkey and the Balkans, Central, South and Southeast Asia, and North America, situating Islamic societies within their global, political, and economic contexts. It accounts for the impact of European imperialism on Islamic societies and traces the development of the modern national state system and the simultaneous Islamic revival from the early nineteenth century to the present. This book is essential for readers seeking to understand Muslim peoples."--Publisher information.
