New Releases by David Weiss

New collection of poems by David Weiss, author of Per Diem. A new collection of poems by the author of Per Diem and six other books. Rarely does a poet demonstrate such mobility, plumbing the depths of the psyche while giving it new sounds, new light, new configurations of consciousness. "No One Sleeps Tonight is a collection of poems that asks the reader to 'listen to your being there.' There is a boy kneeling at the foot of a wheelchair to help his grandmother put her feet on the steel plates; there is a man in love with 'a dozen of roses' and the phrase 'a dozen of roses,' bloodied and beautiful and musical; a speaker searching for a line of poetry, 'small night celebrates the great night,' and finding it by not finding it--which is another way of finding the elusive presence, this time through solitude, that ultimate presence. In fact, all of No One Sleeps Tonight is a small life celebrating a great life through a vision that is so deliciously embodied, it makes you want to rip off the covers, get out of bed, naked, thrust open the window, and let all the evenings of your life visit you again and again and again."--Matthew Lippman Poetry. Jewish Studies.

This book discusses how ancient Japanese mythology was utilized during the colonial period to justify the annexation of Korea to Japan, with special focus on the god Susanoo. Described as an ambivalent figure and wanderer between the worlds, Susanoo served as a foil to set off the sun goddess, who played an important role in the modern construction of a Japanese national identity. Susanoo inhabited a sinister otherworld, which came to be associated with colonial Korea. Imperialist ideologues were able to build on these interpretations of the Susanoo myth to depict Korea as a dreary realm at the margin of the Japanese empire that made the imperial metropole shine all the more brightly. At the same time, Susanoo was identified as the ancestor of the Korean people. Thus, the colonial subjects were ideologically incorporated into the homogeneous Japanese “family state.” The book situates Susanoo in Japan's cultural memory and shows how the deity, while being repeatedly transformed in order to meet the religious and ideological needs of the day, continued to symbolize the margin of Japan.

Der heutige Band ist der erste, der sich mit der Geschichte der Gesellschaft für Arbeitsmethodik e. V. beschäftigt. Uns ist es gelungen, mit Dr. David Weiss einen Historiker zu gewinnen, der die GfA, beginnend mit ihrer Gründung, aus der Sicht eines externen Beobachters in einen historischen Kontext einordnet. Warum dieser Rückblick? Wichtig ist uns, zu verdeutlichen, wie modern die GfA e. V. immer gewesen ist. Neue Entwicklungen wurden von ihr stets strukturiert aufgenommen. Die GfA wurde wahrgenommen, wie etwa umfangreiche Besprechungen sowohl in der Wirtschaftswoche als auch im Handelsblatt belegen. Auch die Fernseh-Akademie ist hierfür ein Beispiel. Wurden doch die Veranstaltungen der GfA im Südwesten aufgezeichnet und gesendet. Die GfA hat stets klare Orientierung in Zeiten globalen Wirtschaftens, flexibler Arbeitsgestaltung, Segmentierung der Gesellschaft sowie der Medien- und Informationsflut geben wollen. Sie ist ein Netzwerk von Personen mit einer Vielzahl persönlicher und methodischer Kompetenzen. Außerdem ist sie eine emotionale Gemeinschaft Sie ist zeitlos, trifft aber immer auch den aktuellen Zeitgeist.

David Weiss Halivni emerges his original approach to critical study of the Talmudic text not only in its modern printed form but as it was in its original form, the Oral Torah from the mouths of countless sages.

In this thought-provoking book, David Weiss Halivni asserts that the act of acknowledging and accounting for inconsistencies in the Pentateuchal text is not alien to the Biblical or Rabbinic tradition and need not belie the tradition of revelation. Moreover, the author argues that through recognizing textual problems in the scriptures, as well as e

Plötzlich diese Übersicht by the Swiss artists Peter Fischli (b. 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012), a loose collection of over 350 hand-sculpted, unfired clay figures, is one of those artworks that is very familiar even to those who are not all that interested in art. The artists have created a masterpiece, using an entirely unspectacular material to form sculptural snapshots that sparkle with cheerful wit : sketched models of everyday situations and objects ; clay reproductions that reveal the absurdity and artificial normality of the ordinary. Alongside them are semi-freely imagined scenes and events from history, culture, entertainment, sport and assorted memories from their own biographies, immortalised in emblematic scenarios. The titles, with their characteristic subtle mockery, fragmentary encyclopaedic knowledge and serious irony, are an integral part of the work.

Jeffrey L. Rubenstein offers a translation from the Hebrew of The Formation of the Babylonian Talmud by David Weiss Halivni. Halivni's work is widely regarded as the most comprehensive scholarly examination of the processes of composition and editing of the Babylonian Talmud. Halivni presents the summation of a lifetime of scholarship and the conclusions of his multivolume Talmudic commentary, Sources and Traditions (Meqorot umesorot). Arguing against the traditional view that the Talmud was composed c. 450 CE by the last of the named sages in the Talmud, the Amoraim, Halivni proposes that its formation took place over a much longer period of time, not reaching its final form until about 750 CE. The Talmud consists of many literary strata or layers, with later layers constantly commenting upon and reinterpreting earlier layers. The later layers differ qualitatively from the earlier layers, and were composed by anonymous sages whom Halivni calls Stammaim. These sages were the true author-editors of the Talmud, who reconstructed the reasons underpinning earlier rulings, created the dialectical argumentation characteristic of the Talmud, and formulated the literary units that make up the Talmudic text. Halivni also discusses the history and development of rabbinic tradition from the Mishnah through the post-Talmud legal codes, the types of dialectical analysis found in the different rabbinic works, and the roles of reciters, transmitters, compilers, and editors in the composition of the Talmud. This volume contains an introduction and annotations by Jeffrey Rubenstein.

Before he began working with Peter Fischli, David Weiss (1946–2012), who did his sculptor training at the Kunstgewerbeschule Basel, participated from 1975–1977 in various national and international gallery and museum exhibitions where he showed his early drawings, for example in the exhibition Mentalität Zeichnung (1976), curated by Jean-Christophe Ammann in the Kunstmuseum Luzern.0Almost without exception, these large-format works on paper originated from small-format drawing books or pads that David Weiss never regarded as sketch-books but instead saw as independent works and as part of the pool and archive of his entire artistic oeuvre, traces of which can also be found in later sculptural works by Fischli/Weiss.0Edition Patrick Frey is enormously pleased to publish in cooperation with Edition Weiss a new edition of these mostly newly rediscovered and fascinating early works by the internationally acclaimed Swiss artist. This representative collection Nine Books 1973–1979, published in a limited edition, was initiated by David Weiss himself; after his death the editorial work was overseen by Iwan Schumacher.0The original sketchbooks, all of which are part of the David Weiss estate curated by the artist’s son Oskar Weiss, including the works Comix, the legendary Regenbüchlein and the water-color series Im Bad, published in 1974/1975 in the Edition Pablo Stähli, have been printed and bound in a limited edition as a facsimile of the original format.0 09 facsimile books in slipcase, published on the occasion of the exhibition David Weiss at Kunstmuseum Chur, February 2014.

How is it possible, after the Shoah, to declare one's faith in the God of Israel? Breaking the Tablets is David Weiss Halivni's eloquent and insightful response to this question. Halivni, Auschwitz survivor and one of the greatest Talmudic scholars of the past century, declares that at this time of God's near absence, Jews can still observe the words of the Torah and pray for God to come near again. Jews must continue to study the classic texts of rabbinic Judaism but now with greater humility, recognizing that even the greatest religious leaders and thinkers interpret these texts only as mere people, prone to human error. Breaking the Tablets is important reading for anyone who feels burdened by the question of how it is possible to believe in God and practice their religion.

Attorney Peter Lambert lands a case to challenge his courtroom skills. Jack Boyland has been charged with robbing his business partner, and murder looms as a possibility. Complications ensue when Peter becomes romantically involved with a witness.

Collision on I-75 tells an extraordinary public health story that has not been told before, and it tells it in a compelling and exciting way. It details over two decades of struggle by public health professionals, legislators, state officials, and law enforcement to compel a huge corporation to prevent deadly, suspected industrial-fog-related collisions. A couple of weeks before Christmas in 1990, nearly one hundred vehicles collided on Interstate-75 northeast of Chattanooga in an unusually dense fog bank, leaving 12 dead and dozens seriously injured. Within days of the collision, Attorney Douglas Fees was contacted by Evelyn Piper whose son, Craig, had burned to death in the cab of his truck on I-75. Fees became the lead attorney in the case, eventually representing nearly all the accident victims who sought legal assistance. It became clear to Fees that the cause of the tragedy was an artificial industrial fog that originated at the Bowater pulp mill a couple of miles up the valley from where the collision occurred. Bowater was the largest pulp mill in the United States, and the largest employer and landowner in Tennessee. This is the true story of a tragic incident involving large numbers of people, corporate negligence, faulty state regulation, and a risk-taking attorney in pursuit of uncertain compensation for the victims and himself.
