Southern Religion, Southern Culture: Essays Honoring Charles Reagan Wilson (Chancellor Porter L. Fortune Symposium in Southern History Series)
by Darren E. Grem, Ted Ownby, and James G. ThomasContributions by Ryan L. Fletcher, Darren E. Grem, Paul Harvey, Alicia Jackson, Ted Ownby, Otis W. Pickett, Arthur Remillard, Chad Seales, and Randall J. StephensOver more than three decades of teaching at the University of Mississippi, Charles Reagan Wilson’s research and writing transformed southern studies in key ways. This volume pays tribute to and extends Wilson’s seminal work on southern religion and culture. Using certain episodes and moments in southern religious history, the essays examine the place and power of religion in southern communities and society. It emulates Wilson’s model, featuring both majority and minority voices from archives and applying a variety of methods to explain the South’s religious diversity and how religion mattered in many arenas of private and public life, often with life-or-death stakes.The volume first concentrates on churches and ministers, and then considers religious and cultural constructions outside formal religious bodies and institutions. It examines the faiths expressed via the region’s fields, streets, homes, public squares, recreational venues, roadsides, and stages. In doing so, this book shows that Wilson’s groundbreaking work on religion is an essential part of southern studies and crucial for fostering deeper understanding of the South’s complicated history and culture.
Southern Storm (Cape Refuge Series #2)
by Terri BlackstockSequel to the #1 best-selling Cape Refuge First a dead stranger. Now a missing Police Chief. Did Chief Cade run off to elope . . . or has he met with foul play? The body in the morgue had no ID. No one knew who he was or where he came from when he walked out in front of Cade’s car. And when Cade learns he had a gunshot wound before he was struck, finding his identity becomes even more urgent. Then Cade vanishes. Authorities discover the victim’s name, and the woman Cade was last seen with turns out to have been the dead man’s wife. Speculation abounds about Cade’s relationship to the woman and his part in the victim’s death. His disappearance makes him look even more suspicious. But Blair Owens doesn’t believe the rumors. Something has happened to Cade, and she’s determined to find him. Saving Cade’s life will take faith in a God whom Blair has always doubted—but he may be her only hope.
Southern White Ministers and the Civil Rights Movement
by Elaine Allen LechtreckIn 1963, the Sunday after four black girls were killed by a bomb in a Birmingham church, George William Floyd, a Church of Christ minister, preached a sermon based on the Golden Rule. He pronounced that Jesus Christ was asking Christians to view the bombing from the perspective of their black neighbors and asserted, "We don't realize it yet, but because Martin Luther King Jr. is preaching nonviolence, which is Jesus's way, someday Martin Luther King Jr. will be seen as the best friend the white man in the South has ever had." During the sermon, members of the congregation yelled, "You devil, you!" and, immediately, Floyd was dismissed. Although not every anti-segregation white minister was as outspoken as Pastor Floyd, many signed petitions, organized interracial groups, or preached gently from a gospel of love and justice. Those who spoke and acted outright on behalf of the civil rights movement were harassed, beaten, and even jailed.Based on interviews and personal memoirs, Southern White Ministers and the Civil Rights Movement traces the efforts of these clergymen who--deeply moved by the struggle of African Americans--looked for ways to reconcile the history of discrimination and slavery with Christian principles and to help their black neighbors. While many understand the role political leaders on national stages played in challenging the status quo of the South, this book reveals the significant contribution of these ministers in breaking down segregation through preaching a message of love.

Woven in the rich history of the Black Hills, Sovereign Evils presents a legal suspense story that combines a Grisham novel with a Krakaue non-fiction odyssey.
Sovereign Excess, Legitimacy and Resistance
by Francescomaria TedescoWhen talking about his film Salò, Pasolini claimed that nothing is more anarchic than power, because power does whatever it wants, and what power wants is totally arbitrary. And yet, upon examining the murderous capital of modern sovereignty, the fragility emerges of a power whose existence depends on its victims’ recognition. Like a prayer from God, the command implores to be loved, also by those whom it puts to death. Benefitting from this "political theurgy" as the book calls it (the idea that a power, like God, claiming to be full of glory, constantly needs to be glorified) is Barnardine, the Bohemian murderer in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, as he, called upon by power to the gallows, answers with a curse: ‘a pox o’ your throats’. He does not want to die, nor, indeed, will he. And so, he becomes sovereign. On a level with and against the State.
Sovereign Jews: Israel, Zionism, and Judaism
by Yaacov YadgarThe question of Jewish sovereignty shapes Jewish identity in Israel, the status of non-Jews, and relations between Israeli and Diaspora Jews, yet its consequences remain enigmatic. In Sovereign Jews, Yaacov Yadgar highlights the shortcomings of mainstream discourse and offers a novel explanation of Zionist ideology and the Israeli polity. Yadgar argues that secularism's presumed binary pitting religion against politics is illusory. He shows that the key to understanding this alleged dichotomy is Israel's interest in maintaining its sovereignty as the nation-state of Jews. This creates a need to mark a majority of the population as Jews and to distinguish them from non-Jews. Coupled with the failure to formulate a viable alternative national identity (either "Hebrew" or "Israeli"), it leads the ostensibly secular state to apply a narrow interpretation of Jewish religion as a political tool for maintaining a Jewish majority.
Sovereignty and Religious Freedom: A Jewish History
by Simon RabinovitchA comparative legal history of Jewish sovereignty and religious freedom, illuminating the surprising ways that collective and individual rights have evolved over the past two centuries It is a common assumption that in Israel, Jews have sovereignty, and in most other places where Jews live today, they have religious freedom instead. As Simon Rabinovitch shows in this original work, the situation is much more complicated. Jews today possess different kinds of legal rights in states around the world; some stem from religious freedom protections, and others evolved from a longer history of Jewish autonomy. By comparing conflicts between Jewish collective and individual rights in courts and laws across the globe, from the French Revolution to today, this book provides a nuanced legal history of Jewish sovereignty and religious freedom. Rabinovitch weaves key themes in Jewish legal history with the individual stories of litigants, exploring ideas about citizenship and belonging; who is a Jew; what makes a Jewish family; and how to define Jewish space. He uses recent court cases to explore problems of conflicting rights, and then situates each case in a wider historical context. This unique comparative history creates a global picture of modern legal development in which Jews continue to use the law to carve out surprising forms of sovereignty.
Sovereignty and the Sacred: Secularism and the Political Economy of Religion
by Robert A. YelleSovereignty and the Sacred challenges contemporary models of polity and economy through a two-step engagement with the history of religions. Beginning with the recognition of the convergence in the history of European political theology between the sacred and the sovereign as creating “states of exception”—that is, moments of rupture in the normative order that, by transcending this order, are capable of re-founding or remaking it—Robert A. Yelle identifies our secular, capitalist system as an attempt to exclude such moments by subordinating them to the calculability of laws and markets. The second step marshals evidence from history and anthropology that helps us to recognize the contribution of such states of exception to ethical life, as a means of release from the legal or economic order. Yelle draws on evidence from the Hebrew Bible to English deism, and from the Aztecs to ancient India, to develop a theory of polity that finds a place and a purpose for those aspects of religion that are often marginalized and dismissed as irrational by Enlightenment liberalism and utilitarianism. Developing this close analogy between two elemental domains of society, Sovereignty and the Sacred offers a new theory of religion while suggesting alternative ways of organizing our political and economic life. By rethinking the transcendent foundations and liberating potential of both religion and politics, Yelle points to more hopeful and ethical modes of collective life based on egalitarianism and popular sovereignty. Deliberately countering the narrowness of currently dominant economic, political, and legal theories, he demonstrates the potential of a revived history of religions to contribute to a rethinking of the foundations of our political and social order.
Soviet Religious Policy in Estonia and Latvia: Playing Harmony in the Singing Revolution
by Robert F. GoeckelSoviet Religious Policy in Estonia and Latvia considers what impact Western religious culture had on Soviet religious policy. While Russia was a predominantly Orthodox country, Baltic states annexed after WWII, such as Estonia and Latvia, featured Lutheran and Catholic churches as the state religion. Robert Goeckel explores how Soviet religious policy accommodated differing traditions and the extent to which these churches either reflected nationalist consciousness or offered an opportunity for subversion of Soviet ideals. Goeckel considers what negotiating power these organizations might have had with the Soviet state and traces differences in policy between Moscow and local bureaucracies. Based on extensive research into official Soviet archives, some of which are no longer available to scholars, Goeckel provides fascinating insight into the relationship between central political policies and church responses to those shifting policies in the USSR. Goeckel argues that national cultural affinity with Christianity remained substantial despite plummeting rates of religious adherence. He makes the case that this affinity helped to provide a diffuse basis for the eventual challenge to the USSR. The Singing Revolution restored independence to Estonia and Latvia, and while Catholic and Lutheran churches may not have played a central role in this restoration, Goeckel shows how they nonetheless played harmony.

Soy rico
by Edwin SantiagoLa fe nos proporciona recursos que el dinero es incapaz de ofrecernos. Y esto responde a una sencilla ecuacion: El dinero no puede producir fe, pero tu fe y mi fe pueden producir dinero. La fe despierta la creatividad, abre la puerta del nuevo trabajo, te multiplica las fuerzas cuando decaes, te anima a un nuevo intento luego del aparente fracaso. Por eso, sin fe somos pobres, desventurados y miserables. Las riquezas de este mundo apenas alcanzan para acercarte a veces a lo que estas esperando, pero las riquezas de Dios te sorprendend con lo que nunca esperaste que pudiera ocurrir! Declara sobre tu vida: Soy Rico!

Soziale Ungleichheit in Indien: Von Dumont zu Bourdieu (essentials)
by Gernot SaalmannGernot Saalmann kritisiert in diesem essential, dass die erhebliche soziale Ungleichheit in Indien meist entweder mit dem Begriff der Kaste oder dem der Klasse analysiert wird. Seines Erachtens k#65533;nnte man jedoch zugespitzt formulieren, es gebe eigentlich gar keine Kasten, sondern eine Vielzahl von Ph#65533;nomenen mit je anderen regionalen Namen. Genauso k#65533;nnte man den auf das #65533;konomische fixierten marxistischen Klassenbegriff hinterfragen. Pierre Bourdieu bietet einen anders gefassten Klassenbegriff an, mit dem sich die Verh#65533;ltnisse in Indien sowohl in der Vergangenheit als auch der Gegenwart beschreiben lassen.
Sozialkapital und Religion: Eine Sekundäranalyse des Freiwilligen-Monitors Schweiz 2020 (BestMasters)
by Milan WellerSozialkapital als interdisziplinäres Konzept bietet einen nützlichen konzeptionellen Rahmen, die gesellschaftliche Rolle von Religion in einer übergeordneten theoretischen Perspektive zu thematisieren und zu untersuchen. Anknüpfend an den bisherigen Forschungsstand wird in diesem Buch ein Modell hergeleitet, welches ein theoretisches Fundament für die komplexe Beziehung zwischen Sozialkapital und Religion bildet. Dieses Modell zum religiösen Sozialkapital wird anschliessend anhand einer Sekundäranalyse für die Schweiz angewandt, wodurch wichtige aktuelle Erkenntnisse für Religion, Wirtschaft und Politik gewonnen werden
Sozialwissenschaftliche Methoden und Methodologien: Temporalität – Prozessorientierung – Gedächtnis (Soziales Gedächtnis, Erinnern und Vergessen – Memory Studies)
by Gerd Sebald Oliver Dimbath Michael Heinlein Hanna HaagTemporalität ist eine der grundlegenden Herausforderungen der Forschung, die im Fluss der Zeit Dinge erkennen, definieren und systematisieren möchte. Für die Forschung wird der Ereignisstrom selektiv still gestellt. Damit verschwindet, mit Bourdieu gesprochen, die Dringlichkeit der Praxis. Mit diesem Herausheben und Festhalten von Ereignissen – selbst dann, wenn diese als Prozesse gedacht sind – agiert Forschung als Gegengift zum Zahn der Zeit, bleibt aber selbst auf vielfältige Weise in temporale Strukturen und Abläufe verstrickt, die ihre Erkenntnismöglichkeiten moderieren. Der vorliegende Band nimmt sich des Zusammenhangs von Zeitlichkeit, Forschung und Method(ologi)en an und buchstabiert ihn anhand gedächtnissoziologischer Konzepte und Figuren aus.
Soziologie Visueller Kommunikation: Ein sozialökologisches Konzept
by York KauttDie Relevanz visueller Kommunikation in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft steht außer Frage. Im Zuge von Modernisierungsprozessen wie der Industrialisierung, der Entwicklung technischer Bildmedien oder der Computerisierung werden Artefakte und ihre visuellen Bedeutungen in sämtlichen Gesellschaftsbereichen wichtiger. Trotz der Forderung eines „visual“, „iconic“ oder „pictorial turn“ fehlt es bislang weitgehend an Entwürfen einer allgemeinen Soziologie, die die Komplexität der Fachwissenschaft sowie die Komplexität des Gestalteten zum Ausgangspunkt ihrer Perspektiven machen.
Soziologie der Würde: Eine Einführung in ihre Problemzugänge, Analysen und Befunde
by Friedrich W. StallbergDieses Studienbuch bietet eine soziologische Einführung in die konfliktreiche Welt der Menschenwürde. In Abgrenzung zum vorherrschenden normativen Verständnis von Würde wird diese als eine Achtung und Autonomie anstrebende individuelle Handlungsorientierung beschrieben, die interaktiv und institutionell geformt ist, und deren Erfolgschancen von den umfassenden gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen abhängen. Da sich Würde im Alltag erst in Situationen der Bedrohtheit und Beschädigung als für Lebensführung und Identität unentbehrlich zu erkennen gibt, konzentriert sich auch die Darstellung ihrer Realität auf Risiken, Formen und zentrale Schauplätze ihrer Beeinträchtigung.
