Cho Hyuk (99 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Every human being is a translation gone slightly wrong. We speak. We text. We leave voice messages we immediately regret. We tell people "I'm fine" with the emotional conviction of a hostage reading a prepared statement. We fall in love with words, hide behind words, wage wars with words, and occasionally ruin Thanksgiving dinner with them. Language promises intimacy, clarity, closure-all those shiny little lies we keep buying anyway. And still, somehow, we cannot stop talking. This book begins there: in the deeply human suspicion that communication may be impossible, though we insist on attempting it before coffee, after intimacy, during therapy, in faculty meetings, on social media, and at 1:13 a.m. when a text message suddenly feels capable of saving-or destroying-our lives. You Never Meant What You Said is a work of philosophical nonfiction that wanders through psychoanalysis, Zen Buddhism, cultural criticism, and the strange theater of everyday life to explore a deceptively simple question: Why does language always arrive a heartbeat too late for what it means to say? To pursue that question, Chong Hyuk Cho moves through Freud's Vienna and Lacan's famously unruly Four Discourses, through Buddhist paradoxes and meditation halls, through therapy rooms and the invisible algorithms quietly rearranging our desires, through K-pop spectacle, political performance, and the private absurdities of modern intimacy. Why do lovers speak past one another? Why does political language increasingly resemble performance art sponsored by venture capital? Why do old text messages read like archaeological evidence left behind by strangers who happened to be us? Part philosophy, part confession, part intellectual detective story, this book argues that misunderstanding is not a malfunction of communication. It is communication. Meaning slips. Desire stutters. Every conversation contains at least two people and several competing realities. Agreement is often nothing more than two misunderstandings briefly shaking hands. We imagine language as a bridge when it is often closer to a tightrope suspended over uncertainty. Drawing on both Western psychoanalysis and Eastern philosophy, Cho suggests that the unsaid may matter more than what is spoken. Zen has long understood what psychoanalysis eventually discovered: silence is not the absence of meaning. It is one of meaning's favorite hiding places. Throughout these pages, theory leaves the classroom and enters ordinary life. Lacan appears beside Zen monks. Questions of power collide with reflections on social media. The unconscious wanders into dating, politics, family life, and those moments when we hear ourselves speaking and wonder who, exactly, is doing the talking. The result is an exploration of language not as a tool to master but as a mystery to inhabit. Human beings want impossible things from one another. We call these impossible things relationships. We want perfect understanding. Transparent love. A sentence capable of carrying the full weight of desire. But language was never built for perfection. It leaks.It trembles.It improvises.Like us. For readers who enjoy the intellectual daring of Maggie Nelson, the psychological insight of Adam Phillips, and the fearless candor of Roxane Gay, You Never Meant What You Said offers a meditation on desire, language, intimacy, and the beautiful failures that make us human. The truth, in the end, is surprisingly simple: We never mean exactly what we say.We never hear exactly what is meant. And yet entire lives are built inside that beautiful gap. That gap is love.That gap is desire.That gap is culture.That gap is us. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condition: New. The traditional concept of diakonia centres on servanthood and humble service, leading to inconsistencies in mission practice and necessitating revision. If diakonia continues to be defined as servanthood, it risks objectifying people, excluding them from being subjects of mission, failing to learn from others, and mystifying the power of domination. Since diakonia has been essential to the mission of the church from its early days, its interpretation significantly influences the church's self-understanding, current mission and relationships with others. Decolonizing Diakonia explores these issues by examining the Bible, historical developments, theology of service, and Katherine B. Hockin's companionship. This book discovers new language, images, and practices for diakonia that align with postcolonial contexts, emphasizing just, respectful, and compassionate relationships among those participating in God's mission today. Hockin's concept of diakonia as companionship is a fitting idea and practice for our mission. Her notion of companionship is inclusive, allowing everyone to participate in God's mission as equals regardless of their status or privilege within society's power structures. This companionship transforms the power dynamics from being for others into with each other. Decolonizing Diakonia contributes to a deeper understanding of the importance of intercultural and postcolonial hermeneutics as a critique of power and decolonizing mission practice. Anyone who deals in this era of fragmentation and the brokenness of our societies with human beings should make this book its own. Not thinking and acting for others and accordingly disempowering them or patronizing them, but in the approach of diaconal companionship, the focus is placed on acting with others, a togetherness that we urgently need in a post-colonial age. - Prof. Dr Benjamin Simon, Ecumenical Institute at Bossey/ World Council of ChurchesUsing biblical, historical, theological, philosophical, missiological, social and power analysis, Decolonizing Diakonia makes a compelling argument for moving away from the image of servanthood toward an embracing of the idea of companionship. Members of the diaconate and champions of intercultural sensitivity and inclusion will appreciate this powerful challenge to traditional thinking and will value the moving story-telling that Cho and Park share in this volume. - Ted Dodd, President DIAKONIA of the Americas and Caribbean Member of the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Diakonia Reference Group.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Who is the 'Other' In a culturally and religiously diverse world, how can the church build just relationships with the 'Other' without compromising each party's unique identity In Relation without Relation, the author presents intercultural theology as a decolonizing approach to mission practice. He employs key concepts from Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and Homi Bhabha to provide a philosophical foundation. He advocates for an 'Altruistic Model' of interfaith dialogue,which enriches missiology and mission practices, aiming to cultivate an intercultural church. Relation without Relation offers valuable resources for churches seeking to become intercultural and to practice mission alongside others, whether they are people of faith or not. While sustaining identities, participants create a welcoming third space where genuine dialogue occurs, fostering shared concern for justice.Relation without Relation offers a thoughtful and creative way of reimagining what it means to be an intercultural church, one that is also interreligious and decolonizing. Drawing from a rich array of resources, the book is an impressive achievement, promoting dialogue across differences based upon sharing concern for justice.Thomas Reynolds Emmanuel College, University of TorontoRelation without Relation seriously considers the implications of what it means to commit to interculturalism in Christian community in the 21st century. Engaging soundly with established models of Christian Mission, Cho makes a clear and compelling case for why ministry in the face of the Other has the potential to create hybrid spaces of welcome in the church.Carmen Lansdowne 44th Moderator, The United Church of Canada.…
