What It Feels Like

Visceral Rhetoric and the Politics of Rape Culture

Stephanie R. Larson

“What It Feels Like is an exciting contribution to rhetorical studies and women’s and gender studies, offering a theory of visceral rhetoric that provides both explanatory power for rape culture and a potential framework for feminist intervention. It addresses a timely topic in a refreshingly new way, providing critical insight into how rape culture is rhetorically constituted as well as reason to hope for change.”—Elizabeth C. Britt, author of Reimagining Advocacy: Rhetorical Education in the Legal Clinic

Oil Fictions

World Literature and Our Contemporary Petrosphere

Edited by Stacey Balkan and Swaralipi Nandi

“This excellent collection not only provides an authoritative introduction to petrofiction’s key texts, conceptual debates, and critical methodologies but also extends the range and scope of that work. In their impressive expansion of the geographical ambit and theoretical concerns of oil fiction, particularly into the Global South, these essays offer new and hitherto underrealized perspectives. They are what the field has been waiting for.”—Graeme Macdonald, coauthor of Combined and Uneven Development: Toward a New Theory of World-Literature

Edward Jarvis

“The Anglican Church in Burma makes a meaningful and significant input to the fields of church history and mission studies.

Critical Inquiry says of Molly Warnock’s Simon Hantaï and the Reserves of Painting: “Molly Warnock”s achievement in bringing together Simon Hantaï’s modernist ambition with his extremely conservative use for religion is enormous.”

Bearded Gentlemen Music says of Kenneth Partridge’s Hell of a Hat: “It’s a time capsule and family reunion all in one. Partridge had unprecedented access to some of the time period’s heavy hitters, so the narrative he weaves is authentic and insightful.”

New journal! Backed by a distinguished international board of editors, Bishop-Lowell Studies showcases work exploring the achievements of these lifelong friends and stunningly influential mid-twentieth-century American poets.

The Abyss in Revelation

A View from Below

Edward Gudeman

It is generally accepted that Revelation’s heavenly scenes were intended to demonstrate that God continued to exercise his control even when the audience’s experience might suggest otherwise. In The Abyss in Revelation, Edward Gudeman argues that even though the scenes of the underworld and its inhabitants are describing reality from the opposite perspective, they declare God’s sovereignty and power in an equally powerful way.

Camels in the Biblical World

Martin Heide and Joris Peters

Given the limited extrabiblical evidence for camels before circa 1000 BCE, a thorough investigation of the spatio-temporal history of the camel in the ancient Near and Middle East is necessary to understand their early appearance in the Hebrew Bible. A state-of-the-art evaluation of the cultural history of the camel and its role in the biblical world, this volume brings the humanities into dialogue with the natural sciences.
