Book Are the Lips a Grave

Download or read book Are the Lips a Grave written by Lynne Huffer and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lynne Huffer's ambitious inquiry redresses the rift between feminist and queer theory, traversing the space of a new, post-moral sexual ethics that includes pleasure, desire, connection, and betrayal. She begins by balancing queer theorists' politics of sexual freedoms with a moralizing feminist politics that views sexuality as harm. Drawing on the best insights from both traditions, she builds an ethics centered on eros, following Michel Foucault's ethics as a practice of freedom and Luce Irigaray's lyrical articulation of an ethics of sexual difference. Through this theoretical lens, Huffer examines everyday experiences of ethical connection and failure connected to sex, including queer sexual practices, sodomy laws, interracial love, pornography, and work-life balance. Her approach complicates sexual identities while challenging the epistemological foundations of subjectivity. She rethinks ethics "beyond good and evil" without underestimating, as some queer theorists have done, the persistence of what Foucault calls the "catastrophe" of morality. Elaborating a thinking-feeling ethics of the other, Huffer encourages contemporary intellectuals to reshape sexual morality from within, defining an ethical space that is both poetically suggestive and politically relevant, both conceptually daring and grounded in common sexual experience.

Book At the Grave s Mouth

Download or read book At the Grave s Mouth written by Fran Montane and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fran's deepest concerns are thoroughly existential, altogether more serious than those of the mere literary formalist. Her work is grounded in an unstinting search for meaning, a relentless effort to find speech in the presence of life's silencing mysteries. At the Grave's Mouth, the early poems of Fran Montane, is an experience in consciousness D an idiolect at once speculative and visceral, tragic and satirical, dark and picaresque. As poet and lesbian, having worked with a silent, almost secret passion on her verse she offers a unique vision of the Kali Yuga D the dark age in Indian philosophy in which we are living which leads to the new cycle of the Satya Yuga D the age of truth, a position she pursues in her later works. I think you'll find this work exceptional from both an artistic standpoint and in the context of the times in which we live. She very well may be the Arthur Rimbaud and Jim Morrison of the new Millenium. Tom Ross, Performance and Visual Artist, Director

Book Foucault s Strange Eros

Download or read book Foucault s Strange Eros written by Lynne Huffer and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the strange eros that haunts Foucault’s writing? In this deeply original consideration of Foucault’s erotic ethics, Lynne Huffer provocatively rewrites Foucault as a Sapphic poet. She uncovers eros as a mode of thought that erodes the interiority of the thinking subject. Focusing on the ethical implications of this mode of thought, Huffer shows how Foucault’s poetic archival method offers a way to counter the disciplining of speech. At the heart of this method is a conception of the archive as Sapphic: the past’s remains are, like Sappho’s verses, hole-ridden, scattered, and dissolved by time. Listening for eros across fragmented texts, Huffer stages a series of encounters within an archive of literary and theoretical readings: the eroticization of violence in works by Freud and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, the historicity of madness in the Foucault-Derrida debate, the afterlives of Foucault’s antiprison activism, and Monique Wittig’s Sapphic materialism. Through these encounters, Foucault’s Strange Eros conceives of ethics as experiments in living that work poetically to make the present strange. Crafting fragments that dissolve into Sapphic brackets, Huffer performs the ethics she describes in her own practice of experimental writing. Foucault’s Strange Eros hints at the self-hollowing speech of an eros that opens a space for the strange.

Book The Grave s a Fine and Private Place

Download or read book The Grave s a Fine and Private Place written by Alan Bradley and published by Doubleday Canada. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The world's greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth" (The Seattle Times), Flavia de Luce, returns in a twisty new mystery novel from award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Alan Bradley. In the wake of an unthinkable family tragedy, twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce is struggling to fill her empty days. For a needed escape, Dogger, the loyal family servant, suggests a boating trip for Flavia and her two older sisters. As their punt drifts past the church where a notorious vicar had recently dispatched three of his female parishioners by spiking their communion wine with cyanide, Flavia, an expert chemist with a passion for poisons, is ecstatic. Suddenly something grazes against her fingers as she dangles them in the water. She clamps down on the object, imagining herself as Ernest Hemingway battling a marlin, and pulls up what she expects will be a giant fish. But in Flavia's grip is something far better: a human head, attached to a human body. If anything could take Flavia's mind off sorrow, it is solving a murder—although one that may lead the young sleuth to an early grave.
