Narrativizing Theories

Arts & Literature

“Narrativizing Theories inventively offers an aesthetic theory that slips, enfolds, weaves, and doubts. As the etymology of ambiguity intimates, Peters ‘drives us both ways’ as he presents a composition, arranged in multiple movements, in and out of epistemologies and ethics, things and theories, stories that undo theories and theories that undo stories. Ultimately, it’s an elegantly written gambol through the ways the arts keep us human by giving us embodied narratives that unsettle our realities.”

What Would Jesus See

Arts & Literature

“Cutting through the noise of our contemporary, multi-mediated world in which corporations, social media platforms, and religions compete for our sensual attention, Aaron Rosen turns his own interreligious gaze on a special kind of vision. Rosen's 're-view' of Christian and Jewish literature and art enables readers to look again at ways of seeing that focus on empathy, understanding, and discernment.”
