Book Description:
|
Spirit and Cosmopolis puts theology on location on the streets of our planet's cities and articulates philosophical reflection worked through religious values for living amidst the affective dynamics of the street. Precarity ensconced in the postcolonial city is critically exposed. "Crip/tography" names a proposed urban choreography, a calculus based on Spirit's generosity, that redresses fear and otherwise advances neighbor love.
