Book Talk: Ashli White on "Revolutionary Things"
Focusing on a range of objects-ceramics and furniture, garments and accessories, prints, maps, and public amusements-Ashli White shows how material culture held political meaning for diverse populations. Enslaved and free, women and men, poor and elite-all turned to things as a means to realize their varied and sometimes competing visions of revolutionary change.
“By excavating the power of material objects and visual images to express the fervor and fear of the revolutionary era, Ashli White brings us closer to more fully embodied, more fully human, figures.”-Richard Rabinowitz, author of Objects of Love and Regret: A Brooklyn Story
“In this important, innovative book, Ashli White moves ni...

Edith Bleich Series: Jennifer Evans on "Queer Kinship"

America is undergoing a massive experiment: It is moving, in fits and starts, toward a multiracial democracy, something few societies have ever done. But the prospect of change has sparked an authoritarian backlash that threatens the very foundations of our political system.

    13:45 Here he asserts that "small democrat" politicians reluctance to denounce anti-democratic forces when it springs up encourages the media and donors to support those anti-democratic forces. However, I think he got that backwards. Nasient anti-democratic forces originate amongst wealthy donors who typically own or are major investors in the media and other important private institutions and who occasionally find a skilled embodiment of their vision in a charismatic politician... perhaps I am mistaken.

    politicians don't become criminals, criminals become politicians. Dabrowski believed that the most important aspect of human development is the emotional one, since only in the area of emotional growth, transformation of behavior and character is possible. The great majority of population lives on and rarely grows beyond the level of primary integration. The most primitively integrated character structures are observed in psychopaths and psychopath-like individuals, who suffer from “emotional retardation,” characterized by inability to experience empathy and guilt.

    The fisherman story that becomes followers that leave family, and business to follow a guy in a wandering gang without any form of income. So what did they exist from? Have they been Hobos that ate what others worked for? It is a fictional story element to make the pun with fisher of men. Only people without any job, or family would follow a preacher around like a gang.

    Paul writes about meeting with the original disciples: Peter, John, etc. Peter writes about meeting Paul. And don’t forget 2nd century is from 100-200 AD, less than 100 years after the death of Jesus. This is monumental in the ancient world. He specifically says in the NT that he met with the immediate followers to make sure He was preaching the same message. Has she read straight through the NT?

    • @TorianTammas
      @TorianTammas 9 месяцев назад

      @rwestbrook - You mean a fan fiction story in which Paul is the hero who claims to connect a nobody to someone who might have met the Jesus character for a year. The author made it up is the obvious answer. You understand that in Harry Potter telling us about Harry Potter means that we have still a fictional story. Cicero wrote several books and a lot of letters which are from him in his lifetime. We have books from Ceasar in which he describes the Gallic Wars and his role in them. We have Josephus who writes about the Jewish War in which he took part. In comparison to the fan fiction stories in koine greek about a dead arameic speaking preacher that were written by unknown authors at an unknown time. We have 25 contradicting gospels and only four made it into the story collection. So it is monumental bad what fan fiction we have here.

    Pricing fossil fuels at the bottom of the food chain under the doctrine of what is called 'supply and demand' has turned our Western Civilisation a Communism-disguised-Capitalism system. When finite fossil fuels are traded under 'supply and demand', as if looted - they turn a curse. When energy looted, it turns - Curse. Humans were not ready morally, ethically and intellectually to start the mass extraction of fossil fuels with the advent of the steam engine 300 years ago. The Magna Carta requires now overhauling - adding to it the right for humans to understand what Energy really is; “In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. Time taken in stocking energy to build an energy system, adding to it the time taken in building the system will always be longer than the entire useful lifetime of the system. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future” (2017).

    The last Supper is a Passover meal used as a way to explained how Jesus death will become a new Exodus for Israel that’s the way the gospels colors the meaning of the bread and wine which are both symbols of divine provision and Covenant in the scriptures. The Satyricon parallel is superficial at best for any point of resemblance you can deduct 10 dissimilarities. The rooster thing is not even worth commenting that’s a figure of speech to describe the time of day. If we going to parallel literature in that fashion why not say the Satyricon is copying the gospels? I mean to me it sounds just as ridiculous but since we want to theorize literary connections doesn’t the stream run both ways? I guess that would not sell books 🤔🤔🤔

    • @TorianTammas

      Fan fiction was produced at an unknown time and place by nameless authors in Koine Greek about a dead Aramaic-speaking preacher. We have a huge gap as no copies exist that reach before 150-200 CE- So we have absolutely no evidence of what was written altered lost and made up before this time. It gets even worse as we have at least 25 gospels, but only 4 made it into the story collection. It gets even worse none of what we have Today and claim as the New Testament is similar to the earliest surviving collection from the 4th century. It gets even worse translations Today resemble not the oldest we have they are made up of various different copies that biased fallible humans put together.

    Oral tradition is for me absolutely fascinating. Caligula had two luxury boats which sank to the bottom of lake Nemi. And that was the end of them. Around the year 1500 renaissance scholars traveled to a small village next to the lake. They asked local peasants what was at the bottom of the lake. The local peasants told the scholars about the boats. So the oral tradition survived for over 1 thousand years.

    • @TorianTammas
      @TorianTammas 9 месяцев назад

      @moesypittounikos - Your story is fascinating but has a few holes. The sunken ships have been found 18 meters deep in Lake Nemi. This is a depth where fishermen could find them all by themselves. Local fishermen had long been aware of the existence of the wrecks and had explored them and removed small artifacts, often using grappling hooks to pull up pieces, which they sold to tourists. In 1446, Cardinal Prospero Colonna and Leon Battista Alberti followed up on the stories regarding the remains and discovered them lying at a depth of 18.3 meters (60 ft), which at that time was too deep for effective salvage. They damaged the ships by using ropes with hooks to tear planks from them. So there is new mysterious old man telling a story generation after generation. You have simply fishers going after their trade. Divers in antiquity could reach up to 30 meters (the ships were at 18 meters) Underwater diving for commercial purposes may have begun in Ancient Greece, since both Plato and Homer mention the sponge as being used for bathing. The island of Kalymnos was the main center of diving for sponges. By using weights of as much as 15 kilograms (33 lb) to speed the descent, breath-holding divers would descend to depths up to 30 meters (98 ft) for as much as five minutes to collect sponges.[2] Sponges were not the only valuable harvest to be found on the sea floor; the harvesting of red coral was also quite popular. A variety of valuable shells or fish could be harvested in this way, creating a demand for divers to harvest the treasures of the sea, which could also include the sunken riches of other seafarers.

    The New Testament is a Legal Document which indicates that the Roman dominions had a New owner Jesus-Christ and contains some instructions on applicable Law in that New Jurisdiction: this is called ratification of the Law of Moses. Paul was just saying ratifying the Law of Moses could be done in spirit and not in a letter. In other words the Romans didn't have to follow Moses sentencing guidelines in case of violations. Paul started out by saying that the purpose of the Law was not to purify but to govern as God punishes sins while magistrates punishes crimes... too much to unpack from that misunderstood document.

    The answer from Dr. Robyn Walsh to the question @1:02:30 was very thought provoking and indeed a clincher supporting this Book Talk's hour-long thesis, while also serving as a great cliff-hanger to look further into. Bringing the classics back into the religious zeitgeist will hopefully spur another desperately needed renaissance and enlightenment for these wearied modern times -- which can be attributed, at least in part, to the effects of German Romanticism/realism/materialism/nationalism (whatever you may call it) on Western academic religious studies' approach to religious texts. Dr. Walsh's new book does indeed appear to have ground breaking potential and hopefully spurs a great deal of peer review and also significant popular consideration. More details are definitely needed. Thanks for this talk, much appreciated!

    Heads of an answer to Fish: - The notion of unconscious meanings, tensions in the writer's project, unresolved conflicting intentions.... etc. have vanished from this clear-cut distinction between meaning and significance (which, incidentally, reminds me of E. D. Hirsch rather than Fish-whither Deconstruction?). But a theorization of such tensions seem to be a prime critical tool in dealing with Milton, witness e.g. the issue of Satanic parallelisms with the Parliamentarians, and the Absolutist trappings of his God in 'Paradise Lost'. - '9/11 terrorist bombings are out of Milton's context, and are therefore a matter of significance, not meaning'. OK (but let me point out that discussion of significance is well within the province of the literary critic's activity, contrary to what Fish's closing words would seem to imply. A discussion of Milton is also a discussion of the Milton semantic complex which includes his interpretations). OK ... BUT: - The unresolved issue of the legitimacy or legitimation of political violence, is, indeed, part of Milton's contemporary context, as is the issue of terrorist bombings of political and ideological landmarks causing indiscriminate death. It is indeed a prominent element in the aforementioned tensions. And if 9/11 as a massacre is outside his ken, Milton was well aware of another (intended) massacre, the Fifth of September, which has some uncanny parallels to the Samson suicide bombing of the Temple of Dagon. Not as far as the suicide is concerned, perhaps, but insofar as it should have been a spectacular and symbolic massacre of infidels en masse, together with their leaders, inspired and justified by a religious rationale. Milton had written while at Cambridge a Latin exercise on the Gunpowder Plot, "In quintum Novembris, Anno aetatis 17", with appropriate Protestant glee at the discomfiture of the plotters. Now, in old age, he seems to be writing a palinode, and a justification of the political and religious violence of "thralled discontent", on second thoughts. Of course, this time God was on 'his' side, at least on the side of that part of his brain he was aware of. - Fish's distinction between meaning, significance, and appropriation are therefore too neat. They are illustrative as pointers, but reality's much more of a mess and a mesh; and intention is also a much more complex affair than he allows it to be here. Actually, the tensions and the intentions in Milton and in his poems cannot be cut off from the tensions and intentions circulating in his own context, which is not (but also is, to a certain extent) our own.

He twists the rules of exegetical professionalism so that he can misread literature whenever he so chooses, and yet has the audacity to criticize others who explicate texts radically. I think that J. Hillis Miller's (he's a kind man) theory of linguistic parasitism is garbage; yet, I would not, like Fish does, aim to censor his exegetical techniques. Best, QP
