In this project, I will explore the trope of city as body--the body politic--in a diverse array of seminal texts in science fiction literature, films, and critical essays. I choose science fiction (SF) because it provides the kinds of imagery and topos unique to the genre that allow us to examine the kinds of attitudes and assumptions that undergird the metaphor of the city as body and allow it to circulate and function as a social discourse. For instance, a present-day metropolis with components that are completely intertwined with digital technologies like satellites, cell phone towers, and video surveillance systems doesn't necessarily resemble the idealized "master body" of antiquity. What this city does resemble, however, is the figure of the science fiction cyborg, a hybrid body of human and machine. In fact, today's cities look less and less like the traditional idealized human body: the sense of estrangement and vertigo that comes with our digital and globalized age is described better by the alien cities of SF and the alien bodies that occupy these urban spaces. SF cities offer us new models of the body politic that we can recognize in our daily lives, not in spite of their strangeness but because of it--tropes that we cannot find in texts of straightforward narrative realism.

In constructing the urban as a set of interconnected actions, this book presents a less travelled route to understanding the city. It leads to a fresh perspective on several issues central to urban theory, including the uniqueness of a city alongside practices it shares with other urban places. This book presents an innovative theoretical contribution to the field of urban studies, bridging the gap between western centric scholarship and perspectives from the global South. It offers conceptually rich insights, combining notions of cities as organisms, and references to postcolonial urban studies, with insights around aspirations, capabilities, agency, and social identity. It develops concepts, like the Proximity Principle, that help explain the experience of a city. This conceptualization of the city as a process should interest all who are sensitive to cities, whether they study them in academia or simply develop close associations with specific urban places.

This work assembles contributions from North America's leading Hebrew Bible/Old Testament scholars in honor of a highly respected biblical scholar, whose work on biblical prophets has been especially influential. Within the list are former teachers, current colleagues, and former students who are now colleagues in their own right, representing a wide range of denominational traditions represented—Roman Catholics, Lutheran, Episcopal, Presbyterian, etc. The book is divided into major two sections with a brief introduction by the editors, John Ahn and the Stephen Cook. Here, a brief biography and the academic career of Robert Wilson's contribution to the guild (with a bibliography at the end of this section) and more over, at a personal level, his ceaseless work in helping to transform and reform the "new" Yale Divinity School and his impact in molding the Ph.D. program in HB/OT in the Religious Studies Department of the Graduate School at Yale University. Part I hold the essays on the Former Prophets and Part II on the Latter Prophets.
