This book confirms that research on the Letter to the Galatians is flourishing. Although it is true that much of what is being published is not new and that well-known arguments and insights have often been repeated, it is also clear that much progress is constantly being made. In this volume, hundreds of academic studies that appeared on the letter from 2000 to 2020 are discussed concisely so that the main contribution of each study to a better understanding of the letter can be grasped easily. Studies on Galatians or parts of it are organised and discussed in terms of five categories - introductory matters, textual and stylistic issues, history of interpretation, interpretative approaches and the theology of the letter. The primary focus of each study is clearly delineated so that its specific contribution to grasping key aspects of the letter becomes clear. D. Francois Tolmie is Professor of New Testament Studies at the Faculty of Theology and Religion at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa. He is also the author of Persuading the Galatians: A Text-Centred Rhetorical Analysis of a Pauline Letter and Pointing Out Persuasion in Philemon: Fifty Readings of Paul's Rhetoric from the Fourth to the Eighteenth Century.

Walter Benjamin claimed that the notion of novelty took on unprecedented importance with the growth of high capitalism in the nineteenth century. In this book, Kristina Mendicino analyzes a selection of canonical texts that reflect profound concern with novelty and its apparent contrary, the eternal return of the same, including Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Baudelaire's lyric and prose poetry, and Marx and Engels's Communist Manifesto. She also addresses Eternity by the Stars by Louis-Auguste Blanqui, who is less well known and often underestimated in considerations of his significance for revolutionary political theory.Mendicino argues that the notion of a novum cannot be understood without attentiveness to the language of announcement, not least of all because the "new" has always been associated with a particular mode of linguistic performance. Through close readings of emphatically annunciatory texts, she demonstrates how the extreme possibilities of expression that they present through specific citational and rhetorical praxes render the language of announcement overdetermined and anachronistic in ways that exceed any systematic account of historical time and experience. This excess in and through language is precisely what opens hitherto unheard of alternatives for conceiving of historical temporality and political possibility.

Se substituant à ce qu’on appelait autrefois le progrès, la notion d’innovation s’est imposée dans tous les secteurs de l’activité humaine. On a pris l’habitude de qualifier d’innovante toute forme de changement qui semble susceptible d’améliorer quelque chose à l’activité humaine, sans pour autant penser philosophiquement la signification de ce changement. Tandis que l’économie industrielle dopée par la technologie a réalisé la prophétie émise par l’économiste Schumpeter, la notion d’innovation a elle-même évolué, devenant protéiforme. En enrôlant massivement les méthodes pour innover, actuellement se multiplient les tiers-lieux destinés à opérer ce changement. Mais progrès et innovation ne sont pas synonymes, et à bien des égards celle-ci dément les promesses affichées par celui-là. Aujourd’hui, les crises qui se produisent sur la toile de fond des transitions en cours conduisent à repenser le rôle dévolu à l’innovation, et invitent à décider si elle peut accompagner le monde qui vient. La difficulté est que ce qui la rend spécifique et intéressante, sa « sauvagerie » même, la rend peu aisée à dépasser. Cet ouvrage éclaire les questions qu’elle soulève, en les traitant sur les plans épistémologique et pratique.

"How have the concepts of "lateness" and "modernity" inflected the study of medieval and early modern architecture? This volume seeks to (re)situate monuments from the 14th-16th centuries that are indebted to medieval building practices and designs within the more established narratives of art and architectural history. Drawing on case studies from Cyprus to the Dominican Republic, the book explores historiographical, methodological, and theoretical concerns related to the study of medieval architecture, bringing to the fore the meanings and functions of the Gothic in specific contexts of use and display. The development of local styles relative to competing traditions, and instances of coexistence and hybridization, are considered in relation to workshop practices and design theory, the role of ornament, the circulation of people and knowledge, spatial experiences, as well as notions of old and new. Contributors are: Jakub Adamski, Flaminia Bardati, Costanza Beltrami, Robert Bork, Jana Gajdošová, Maile S. Hutterer, Jacqueline Jung, Alice Klima, Abby McGehee, Paul Niell, Michalis Olympios, Zachary Stewart, Alice Isabella Sullivan, Kyle G. Sweeney, and Marek Walczak"--

The Greeks have long been regarded as innovators across a wide range of fields in literature, culture, philosophy, politics and science. However, little attention has been paid to how they thought and felt about novelty and innovation itself, and to relating this to the forces of traditionalism and conservatism which were also present across all the various societies within ancient Greece. What inspired the Greeks to embark on their unique and enduring innovations? How did they think and feel about the new? This book represents the first serious attempt to address these issues, and deals with the phenomenon across all periods and areas of classical Greek history and thought. Each chapter concentrates on a different area of culture or thought, while the book as a whole argues that much of the impulse towards innovation came from the life of the polis which provided its setting.
