Communal Nude : Collected Essays
The collected essays of the cofounder of the New Narrative movement, on theory, identity, poetry, and muses from Kathy Acker to Georges Bataille. I read and wrote to invoke what seemed impossible-relation itself-in order to take part in a world that ceaselessly makes itself up, to "wake up" to the world, to recognize the world, to be convinced that the world exists, to take revenge on the world for not existing. -from Communal NudeSince cofounding San Francisco's influential New Narrative circle in 1979, Robert Gluck has been one of America's finest prose stylists of innovative fiction, bending narrative into the service of autobiography, politics, and gay writing.This collection brings together for the first time Gluck's nonfiction, a revelatory body of work that anchors his writing practice.Gluck's essays explore the ways that storytelling and selfhood are mutually embedded cultural forms, cohering a fractured social reality where generating narrative means generating identity means generating community. "I'd laugh at (make art from) any version of self," Gluck writes, "I write about these forms-that are myself-to dispense with them, to demonstrate how they disintegrate before the world, the body." For any body-or text-to know itself, it must first see how it sees the world, and understand itself as writing. Gluck's essays affirm this radical narratorial precept in rich spirals of reading, self-reflection, anecdote, escapade, and "metatext." These texts span the author's career and his creative affinities-from lost manifestos theorizing the poetics of New Narrative; to encomia for literary and philosophic muses (Kathy Acker, the HOW(ever) poets, Frank O'Hara, Georges Bataille, and others); to narrative journalism, book reviews, criticism, and public talks.Many of the texts are culled from obscure little magazines and ephemeral online sources; others have never been published.As lucid as story, as lush as theory, and as irresistible as gossip, Gluck's essays are the quintessence of New Narrative theory in practice.

The Communal Universe : How things come together
This book will take you on a journey through our physical universe, based on current, established science.The journey starts with the simplest fundamental particles, such as quarks and electrons, and ends with the most complex of all material objects – our human brains. Our universe has evolved through forming communities of things, with simpler things coming together in new groupings to make more complex things.So, every “thing” in the universe is a community of things, and at every level a community is greater than the sum of its separate parts. If we view the universe in terms of communities, it takes the form of a hierarchy of eight levels of communities, from protons and neutrons to human societies. And at every level in this universal hierarchy, the communities are bound together by ceaseless interactive exchanges. So, our universe reveals itself as a dynamic hierarchy, sustained by endless exchanges between members of the communities at every level.Each of us is the universe in microcosm, for we each embody all eight levels of the universal hierarchy. It is through things coming together and forming communities that the universe, with us now in it, has come to be what it is. Andrew McNeil has a PhD in metallurgy. He first worked in university research and then, for twenty years, he taught secondary school science.

While this text was originally written for Jesuits living in community to help them to live God's calling, the principles of Ignatian spirituality outlined here have broad application beyond such a setting today.As such it is:Rooted in history but not a history of discernmentTheological but not a doctrinal treatisePractical but not a how-to manualSpiritual but does not belong to any specific school of thought. Succinct and very readable, this book contains a collection of insights suitable for both individual and group discernment exercises.

Jewish Letchworth : A Microcosm of the Jewish Communal Experience
Here, Letchworth-born Yanky Fachler explores a short-lived (1939- 1971) provincial Jewish congregation that boasted a communal infrastructure typical of much larger communities.Based during the war years around an estate built by Abba Bornstein, most of the community returned to London after the Second World War.The centre of gravity shifted to what former Talmud Torah headmaster Harry Leitner describes as the ' two pyramid houses on Sollershott East - the Sassoon/Feuchtwanger and Fachler homes.' Letchworth was home to the world-famous private Judaica library assembled by David Sassoon.His son, Rabbi Solomon Sassoon, made sure that Jewish children from across the religious spectrum attended the Talmud Torah educational programme after regular school hours.Several rabbinical luminaries were associated with Letchworth, including the communal rabbi, Asher Feuchtwanger, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler, and Rabbi Eliyahu Lapian.Fachler describes a unique community where the orthodox coexisted harmoniously with the non-orthodox, Ashkenazi Jews lived side-by-side with Baghdadi Jews, and wealthy families rubbed shoulders with working class families.

Communal Forms : A Sociological Exploration of Concepts of Community
Drawing on a wide range of social theory, as well as empirical inputs from studies of work, neighbourhoods, events, meeting places and online self-help groups, this book suggests that communal forms are constructed on the basis of communicative, material, biographic-cultural, practice-based, and situational layers.The concept of community has long provided an important point of departure for the discipline of sociology, with the conflicting conceptions of community before and into modernity embodied in Ferdinand Tönnies’ Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft and in Emile Dürkheim’s Mechanical and Organic Solidarity, providing the focus for debate.Other contributors have maintained an interest in communities as communions, interactional competencies, symbolic identification, tribal connection, and more recently communication.Drawing on such theoretical contributions, as well as empirical inputs, the authors develop a more nuanced concept of community, based on the notion that it is constructed from several different layers.This concept is then presented as a sociological toolbox with which to fuel approaches to examining societal challenges and change.Providing a fresh approach to a core sociological question that also has a wider societal relevance, Communal Forms will be of interest to scholars and students concerned with social issues, and for those with a more general interest in community, society and its development over time.
