Arabic-Islamic Cities: Building and Planning Principles

This is a pioneering study of how traditional towns and cities were conceived, organized, and developed over long periods of time following simple rules that were based on the society's norms and ethical values. Sources were used that date back to the fourteenth century and earlier. Although the study is embedded in the Arab-Islamic culture of North Africa and the Middle East, its implications are universal particularly in light of scientific discoveries of natural processes and the underlying principles of complexity theory and the processes that bring about emergence. Generative processes that shaped urban form are clearly demonstrated in the book. The study also sheds light on the implications of responsibility allocation to the various parties who are involved in the development process and the resulting patterns of decision-making that affect change and growth in the built environment. All of these issues are of significance when trying to understand the concepts that relate to various aspects of sustainability, the future potential of eco-cities, and the nature of policies and programs that are required for the immediate present and for the future. This work is a major contribution for enhancing the theories and practice of urban planning and design.

Washed and Waiting: Reflections on Christian Faithfulness & Homosexuality

"Gay," "Christian," and celibate don't often appear in the same sentence. Yet many who sit next to us in the pew at church fit that description, says author Wesley Hill. As a celibate gay Christian, Hill gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to wrestle firsthand with God's "No" to same-sex relationships.

What does it mean for gay Christians to live faithful to God while struggling with the challenge of their homosexuality? What is God's will for believers who experience same-sex desires? Those who choose celibacy are often left to deal with loneliness and the hunger for relationships. How can gay Christians experience God's favor and blessing in the midst of a struggle that for many brings a crippling sense of shame and guilt? Weaving together reflections from his own life and the lives of other Christians, such as Henri Nouwen and Gerard Manley Hopkins, Hill offers a fresh perspective on these questions. He advocates neither unqualified "healing" for those who struggle, nor their accommodation to temptation, but rather faithfulness in the midst of brokenness. "I hope this book may encourage other homosexual Christians to take the risky step of opening up their lives to others in the body of Christ," Hill writes. "In so doing, they may find, as I have, by grace, that being known is spiritually healthier than remaining behind closed doors, that the light is better than the darkness."

This updated and expanded edition of the original book includes an additional chapter that continues Wesley s story and further reflections on spiritual friendships and how the church can be a more welcoming place for those who choose to embrace a celibate calling."

Le fantastique dans le cinéma espagnol contemporain

Cet ouvrage presente au public francais un pan souvent meconnu de la production cinematographique espagnole : le cinema fantastique. Les etudes reunies ici interrogent les traditions iconographiques et sociales qui dessinent les contours du genre fantastique dans le cinema espagnol. Les deux premiers articles offrent une reflexion theorique sur la notion de fantastique et un rappel historique de l'evolution du genre en Espagne. Les articles suivants sont consacres a l'analyse d'un film ou d'un corpus de films. Certains etudient plus particulierement l'intertextualite et les phenomenes d'hybridation, tandis que d'autres s'attachent a mettre au jour, derriere les figures de monstres ou de fantomes, les problematiques sociales ou politiques sous-jacentes. On constate ainsi que le cinema fantastique n'est pas simplement un genre d'evasion, mais peut aussi traduire les preoccupations actuelles de la societe espagnole, notamment son difficile rapport au passe.

Marie-Soledad Rodriguez est maitre de conferences a l'universite Sorbonne nouvelle - Paris 3. Elle anime depuis 2004 un atelier de recherche sur le cinema espagnol contemporain (ARCE).
