Download or read book Their Angry Creed written by Herbert Purdy and published by lps publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-04 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty-five years after women's liberationists first laid down their challenge, chanting 'Women demand equality!' and 'I'm a second-class citizen', their narratives are now so universally accepted that few people dare speak truth to the power in the land that feminism has undoubtedly become. However, this book does just that. Opening with a startling revelation in 2014 by Mallory Millett, sister of Kate Millett - a mentally-ill Marxist apologist, and probably the prime mover in the women's liberation movement around 1970 - Their Angry Creed is a detailed exposé of what she and her co-conspirators were planning from the start. The author shows how these activists influenced a generation of women - many of whom are now in prominent and powerful positions - to seek a seismic shift in the power balance between women and men by dividing society along the fault line of gender. Feminism has never been about equality for women. It is cultural Marxism, whose principles uphold matriarchy - the social superiority of women - which is to be achieved through the destruction of marriage, the re-engineering of the family, moving women en masse out of the home and into the workforce, and the disruption of society as we know it. Describing how these activists have already secured unreasonable and unfair privilege for women and girls, he points to the demonisation of manhood, men's effective social emasculation, the invasion of men's social spaces to the point of harassment, and the relentless excision of fathers from families. He ends by warning of a coming backlash from men.

Download or read book Myth and Violence in the Contemporary Female Text written by V.G. Julie Rajan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How various mythologies challenge, enable, and inspire women artists and activists across the globe to communicate personal and historical experiences of violence is the central concern of this collection. Beginning with the observation that twentieth- and twenty-first century female writers and artists often use myth to represent their social and artistic struggles, the distinguished international scholars and writers consider mythic fabulations as spaces for contested meanings and resistant readings. The identified resistance of the mythic material to repression-working, as it were, in opposition to another celebrated drive/role of myth, that of containment-makes the use of myth particularly stimulating for twentieth-century and contemporary female artists; and it is an interest in the aesthetic and political consequences of such resistances that animates this book. Exemplifying the diverse types of engagement with myth and femininity, literary criticism, discussions of film and art, artwork, as well as original creative writing, could all be found within the boundaries of this innovative volume. Femininity, myth, and violence are here explored in contexts such as female mythopoiesis in the early twentieth century; the politics of representation in contemporary writing; revision of old myths; and creation of new myths in multicultural female experiences. Keeping the focus on the actual works of art, the editors and contributors offer scholars and teachers an inclusive way to approach literature and the arts that avoids the limits imposed by genre or national and regional boundaries.
Download or read book Queer Theories written by Donald E. Hall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential introductory guide explores and aggressively expands the provocative new field of sexual identity studies. It explains the history of sexual identity categories, such as 'gay' and 'lesbian', covers the reclamation of 'queer' as a term of radical self-identification, and details recent challenges to sexual identity studies posed by transgender and bisexual theories. Donald E. Hall offers concrete applications of the abstract theories he explores, with imaginative new readings of such works as 'The Yellow Wallpaper', Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Orlando and The Color Purple. Throughout, Hall urges the reader to grapple with the changing nature of sexual identity in the twenty-first century and asks searching questions about how we might identify ourselves differently given new technologies and new possibilities for sexual experimentation. To students, theorists and activists alike, Queer Theories issues a challenge to continue to disrupt narrow, traditional notions of sexual 'normality' and to resist setting up new and confining categories of 'true' sexual identity.
Download or read book My American History written by Sarah Schulman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Schulman’s writing is bold, provocative, and refreshingly unrepentant. First published in 1994, My American History: Lesbian and Gay Life During the Reagan and Bush Years combines critical commentary with a rich and varied collection of news articles, letters, interviews, and reports in which the author traces the development of lesbian and gay politics in the U.S. In her coverage of many tireless campaigns of activism and resistance, Sarah Schulman documents a powerful political history that most people – gay or straight – never knew happened. In her Preface to this second edition, Urvashi Vaid argues for the continued relevance of Schulman’s writing to activism in the 21st century, particularly in light of the resurgence of the right in American politics. Also included is a selection of articles by Sarah Schulman for Womanews, in their original print format, with illustrations by Alison Bechdel. The book closes with an interview with the author, conducted by Steven Thrasher, especially for this new edition. It explores AIDS and homophobia during the Reagan/Bush administrations and at the dawn of the Trump era. My American History is a collection that gives voice to both the personal and political struggles of feminist and lesbian and gay communities in the 1980s. It is an important historical record that will enlighten and inform activists, as well as academics of women’s, gender and sexuality studies, in the 21st century.

Download or read book Initiation written by Peter King and published by Peter King. This book was released on 2015-08-22 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most teens feel alienated from the adult world but Sam Kahu is more alienated than most. For a start his home just burned down and all his friends and family are missing, presumed dead. Worse, he knows they are out to get him, and if he doesn't successfully hide within the system he could find himself inside a UFO having his brain dissected. Fortunately he has a few resources: he's innately psychic, and he has high technology gadgets. But the most promising development is the young, lesbian, youth aid cop assigned to his case. Because pretty soon she's going to need help, and he has a strange feeling he's met her somewhere before. Over six novel sized parts Changels Genesis tells the story of six psychic teenagers from around the world, and how they were trained and equipped to become superheroes: the Changels - the self appointed guardian angels of global change. Told by Sam, it's a personal story of growth, minorities, true conspiracies and alien biological warfare in the early 21st century. It is not suitable for readers under 13. Changels Genesis mixes fact and fantasy so that it's hard to tell the difference.
Download or read book The Flaming Sword written by David R. Brown and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the Neolithic revolution, a pervasive phantom has haunted humanity. It neither rustles nor rattles, nor moans upon the moors. Rather, its apparition is accompanied by the continuous, unbroken rasp of the human race, who, unified in dread, have emitted one solemn plea to a world rent asunder by evil and the abandonment of reason. That sound is the question why? All people have asked this, when evil overtakes them. Formal attempts have been carefully deliberated, for twelve thousand years, to resolve this gripping human dilemma: why is there wrong and suffering. And more tormentingly, why, if there is a God, does evil exist? How can it exist? Many have the answer, only to be turned away. Now, it can be answered. Everyone has heard the story of Adam and Eve, their fall from God, and the angel posted at Paradise to turn them away. The story of fallen, broken man is well known, and his journey through a world wracked with madness and pain is well documented. But what if the real story was skipped over by the narrative? What if the angel at the gates of Paradise was only a figurehead of something much larger? The Flaming Sword is a guard to a gate: but the guard is more than a mere angel, and what it guards is more than the perfect place. It guards perfection itself. Like the angel at Eden, it is programmed to attack whatever nears it charge, including mankind. Be warned, and take heed: for the answer may be far more haunting than the question ever dreamed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining industrial research and primary interview material with detailed textual analysis, Contemporary British Horror Cinema looks beyond the dominant paradigms which have explained away British horror in the past, and sheds light on one of the most dynamic and distinctive - yet scarcely talked about - areas of contemporary British film production. Considering high-profile theatrical releases, including The Descent, Shaun of the Dead and The Woman in Black, as well as more obscure films such as The Devil's Chair, Resurrecting the Street Walker and Cherry Tree Lane, Contemporary British Horror Cinema provides a thorough examination of British horror film production in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Dead Aim written by Thomas Perry and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-10-12 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Thomas Perry is] a master of nail-biting suspense.” —Los Angeles Times In this explosive new novel from the Edgar Award–winning author of The Butcher’s Boy, Blood Money, and other novels of “dazzling ingenuity” (The New York Times Book Review), Thomas Perry gives us a thriller even more startling than his most recent bestseller, Pursuit. In Dead Aim, an unsuspecting man tries to help a young woman on the edge, and finds himself drawn into a lethal struggle with a deadly adversary--and then another, and another, and another. Robert Mallon has lived for ten quiet years in affluent Santa Barbara, California, when an encounter on a beach with a mysterious young woman shatters his peaceful, carefully constructed life. Despite Mallon’s desperate attempts, he loses her, and he becomes obsessed with discovering why. He hires detective Lydia Marks to uncover the secrets of this stranger’s life, and what they learn propels them into a terrifying underworld of sinister secrets and deadly hatreds. Set against Mallon is the master hunter Parish, a man with an expert understanding of evil, who preys on rich people’s desire for dominance and revenge. Thomas Perry’s writing is “as sharp as a sushi knife,” said the Los Angeles Times about Blood Money, and the same can be said about this new novel by the author hailed as “one of America’s finest storytellers” (San Francisco Examiner). With Dead Aim, Thomas Perry gives us another brilliant novel of spine-tingling suspense.

Download or read book Artistic Works of Fiction and Falsehood written by Patrick Scolyer-Gray and published by Patrick Scolyer-Gray. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of people are producing and consuming knowledge via the digital components of the globalised, interconnected, and participatory “media ecosystem”, and this continues to have significant implications for society. However, the Internet exceeds the proverbial ‘bandwidth’ of researchers, and countless platforms and online environments have been overlooked and/or understudied. Consequently, there are substantial blind spots in what is known about the notorious and fully anonymous imageboard 4chan.org. 4chan ‘disproportionately’ influences the media ecosystem, and played a significant role in the consolidation of the extremist ‘alt-right’ and ‘Incel’ movements, but little is known about 4chan’s userbase. Based on the output of the PhD research of the same name, Dr Patrick Scolyer-Gray’s Fiction and Falsehood explores three research objectives, each achieved via a sociological mixed-methods ethnographic research design. First, using a combination of survey and interview data, the socio-political discourses that most frequently influence the socio-political perspectives of 4chan’s users are identified. The text offers empirical evidence that the most influential socio-political discourses on 4chan are consistent with an alt-right ideological framework. Second, how and why 4chan-discourses became integrated into the socio-political perspectives of the userbase is explored. The fine-grained insight provided by in-depth semi-structured interviews with 4chan-users is combined with Bourdieu’s ‘theory of practice’ to produce an explanatory framework based on ‘habitus-field congruency’. Third, empirical evidence of 4chan’s relationship with the public sphere is provided, and the implications of this relationship are explored. A formidable body of evidence dovetails into the author's argument that the memes produced by 4chan-users represent ‘symbolic ordnance’ that influence the public sphere by having a ‘disproportionate’ impact on the development of public opinion. A series of additional issues raised by 4chan’s relationship with the public sphere are also highlighted. 4chan, its users, the productions featured on the platform, intersections between discourses borne out of (or amplified by) 4chan and the broader information ecosystem and their respective interconnected relationships are examined in granular detail. Additionally, Fiction and Falsehood offers fresh insights into the origins and significance of the alt-right, a detailed exposition of methodological techniques of novelty and enduring relevance to researchers and private practitioners alike, and unique findings that will appeal to any reader interested in how online spaces are connected to broader societal trends.

Download or read book What s Eating You written by Cynthia J. Miller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divided into four thematic sections, What's Eating You? explores the deeper significance of food on screen-the ways in which they reflect (or challenge) our deepest fears about consuming and being consumed. Among the questions it asks are: How do these films mock our taboos and unsettle our notions about the human condition? How do they critique our increasing focus on consumption? In what ways do they hold a mirror to our taken-for-granteds about food and humanity, asking if what we eat truly matters? Horror narratives routinely grasp those questions and spin them into nightmares. Monstrous “others” dine on forbidden fare; the tables of consumption are turned, and the consumer becomes the consumed. Overindulgence, as Le Grande Bouffe (1973) and Street Trash (1987) warn, can kill us, and occasionally, as films like The Stuff (1985) and Poultrygeist (2006) illustrate, our food fights back. From Blood Feast (1963) to Sweeney Todd (2007), motion pictures have reminded us that it is an “eat or be eaten” world.
