The Risen Jesus’ Sovereignty over Time and the Logos Conceptuality:Origin, Identity, and Time in John 20:24-29
No full text9000 wordsSubmitted before deadline August 31 2018This essay presupposes the argument of my book The Problem of the Indubitable Identification of the Risen Jesus: Origin, Identity, and Time in John 20:24-28. It is essentially a development of one particular lesson to be drawn from that book (LESSON SEVEN): Jesus enacting sovereignty over time manifests what it is YHWH is in the action of the creation of time, i.e. Elohim (true God) (cf. Genesis 1:3-5). Jesus' actions parallels what it was that made the people ‘Israel’ claim their god was true God. The essay focusses on an aspect of John not dealt with in the book. In particular it deals with the first three verses of the Prologue of the Fourth Gospel.According to the Hebrew Bible, and Genesis 1 in particular, YHWH is God because YHWH is the creator of all that is, and in particular the creator of time and space (Genesis 1:3-10). Since Jesus enacting sovereignty over time manifests what it is YHWH is in the action of the creation of time John was compelled to introduce a distinction between YHWH and what it is YHWH is - i.e., God – in order to accommodate the implications of Jesus enacting sovereignty over time. The Logos conceptuality found nowhere else but the Prologue designates YHWH’s nature – what God is - and it is that very same nature that is described as incarnate in John 1:14.Hence binitarian and therefore trinitarian monotheism is dependent on the claim of the incarnation of God. It is the incarnation that necessitates the Trinitarian claim that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three ways of being numerically the one divine nature, i.e. God.<br/
Applying intersectionality to partnerships between women’s organisations and the criminal justice system in relation to domestic violence
No full textThe challenges facing domestic violence (DV) survivors has become the subject of a growing body of intersectional analysis; this paper presents a new intersectional framework for analysing DV policy and practice. Examining a partnership between women’s sector organisations and the criminal justice system in London, using interviews with professionals from the bodies, the paper offers an intersectional analysis of the implications, positive and negative, for both policy and practice. The complex interplay between women’s sector organisations and the criminal justice system demonstrate how the intersections of gender, class, ‘race’ and immigration status affect the way DV survivors are able to access and benefit from support, concluding that to operate more effectively DV support must consider all forms of oppression and violence affecting the lives of all their users
Shape-shifters and Colombe’s folds::Issey Miyake’s ‘one piece of cloth’ and balletic topologies in William Forsythe’s The Loss of Small Detail
No full textAbstract The collaboration between William Forsythe and Issey Miyake in Ballett Frankfurt’s The Loss of Small Detail (1991) includes the Colombe dress, used in the finale of the first act, “the second detail.” If seen as a parallel choreographic object in Forsythe’s work, Miyake’s Colombe as “one piece of cloth” concept suggests the fold (Deleuze, 1993) as a potent epistemological principle that unites various versions of the work. Used in the solo dance that bridges two acts, the Colombe dress via the figure of fold visually hints at Forsythe’s choreographic gestures that open out balletic épaulement through “disfocus.” When Miyake’s and Forsythe’s topological gestures are juxtaposed, their discrete works reveal analogous shapeshifting that promotes multidirectional links between ballet and fashion as artistic forms that use historical and cultural frictions to fold into contemporaneity
