Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Function of Evil Across Disciplinary Contexts explores answers to two important questions about the age-old theme of evil: is there any use in using the concept of evil in cultural, psychological, or other secular evaluations of the world and its productions? Most importantly, if there is, what might these functions be? By looking across several disciplines and analyzing evil as it is referenced across a broad spectrum of phenomena, this work demonstrates the varying ways that we interact with the ethical dilemma as academics, as citizens, and as people. The work draws from authors in different fieldsincluding history, literary and film studies, philosophy, and psychologyand from around the world to provide an analysis of evil in such topics as deeply canonical as Beowulf and Shakespeare to subjects as culturally resonant as Stephen King, Captain America, or the War on Terror. By bringing together this otherwise disparate collection of scholarship, this collection reveals that discussions of evil across disciplines have always been questions of how cultures represent that which they find socially abhorrent. This work thus opens the conversation about evil outside of field-specific limitations, simultaneously demonstrating the assumptions that undergird the manner by which such a conversation proceeds. The book offers an interdisciplinary approach to a subject that has largely been the province of religious studies and philosophy. Tackling the function of evil across social contexts rather than seeking a definition of evil, this collection explores the use of the term "evil" in multiple eras, genres, and disciplines.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Advances a new, inclusive, and varied framework for understanding narrative as a product of interplay between authors, audiences, and texts. In centering the interplay between authors and audiences as the foundation for the narrative act, the innovative and varied collection Narrative Co-Construction makes a resounding argument for the importance of making space for attending to world-building both within the world of the story and out in the world of the audience. Drawing from a range of theoretical orientations, contributors advance a framework that allows multiple points of entry to a given story and welcomes intersectional approaches, both in terms of the embodied identities of its critics and in terms of the theoretical tools they use to identify the methodologies currently active within narrative theory. Analyzing texts by Jane Austen, Andre Gide, Mark Z. Danielewski, Ruth Ozeki, Ocean Vuong, and others, as well as interviews and digital (epi)texts, contributors put co-construction in dialogue with digital media studies, empirical studies, cognitive theories, literary history, literary geography, narrative criminology, and more. This inclusive approach puts different viewpoints, identities, and intellectual allegiances in conversation and asserts the value of making context and intersectionality explicit when examining narrative. By highlighting the author-audience collaboration at the heart of narrative vitality, Narrative Co-Construction deepens our understanding of narrative's world-building power and celebrates how fictions engage readers. Contributors: Helen H. Davis, Malcah Effron, Erika Gotfredson, Lindsay Holmgren, Isabell Klaiber, Margaret Love, Margarida McMurry, Rae Muhlstock, Virginia Pignagnoli, Lois Presser, Alexander Scherr, Siim Sorokin, Martha Swift, Anna Torvaldsen, Katherine Weese Highlights the author-audience collaboration at the heart of narrative vitality to deepen our understanding of narrative's world-building power and argue for a more inclusive, interdisciplinary approach to understanding story.
