Known from his collaboration on the Netflix documentary Age of Samurai, historian William de Lange returns to what he does best: highly anecdotal stories from one of the most exciting episodes in Japanese history: the Warring States period. De Lange takes the reader right back to the 16th century's closing decades. In the course of the ensuing journey, we witness the major sieges fought by the country's three great unifiers: Oda Nobunaga, Toyo...

This volume gathers research at the intersection of art and the interdisciplinary humanities to develop an understanding of media assemblages that insist on the generativity of their situatedness within ecologies of practice. These contributions propose media assemblages that enlarge the time and space for co-compositions between media and bodies that reshape subjective, perceptual, and affective registers of experience. Media assemblages incl...

What I so greatly appreciate in Cardinal De Kesel's most recent book, Faith and Religion in a Secular Society, is his deep commitment to Christian belief rooted necessarily in contemporary culture.

To address global problems such as pandemics, warming, economic inequality, mass migration, and widespread terrorism, Joseph de Rivera argues that we must form a global community. A community of eight billion humans is difficult to conceive. However, it can be imagined and created if we transform our understanding of who humans are and what 'community' entails. We can understand who persons are, how they are motivated, and how a community can ...
