Download or read book Acts of Gaiety written by Sara Warner and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against queer theory's long-suffering romance with mourning and melancholia and a national agenda that urges homosexuals to renounce pleasure if they want to be taken seriously, Acts of Gaiety seeks to reanimate notions of "gaiety" as a political value for LGBT activism by recovering earlier mirthful modes of political performance. The book mines the archives of lesbian-feminist activism of the 1960s–70s, highlighting the outrageous gaiety—including camp, kitsch, drag, guerrilla theater, zap actions, rallies, manifestos, pageants, and parades alongside "legitimate theater”-- at the center of the social and theatrical performances of the era. Juxtaposing figures such as Valerie Solanas and Jill Johnston with more recent performers and activists including Hothead Paisan, Bitch and Animal, and the Five Lesbian Brothers, Sara Warner shows how reclaiming this largely discarded and disavowed past elucidates possibilities for being and belonging. Acts of Gaiety explores the mutually informing histories of gayness as politics and as joie de vivre, along with the centrality of liveliness to queer performance and protest.

Download or read book The Ethical Standard written by Paul Arthur Bell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10-05 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ETHICAL STANDARD The anthology of ethics reveals truths seldom if ever investigated, such as how Sarah the mother of Isaac and wife of Abraham felt about having him attempt in her eyes to murder her son. When we feel something is right in our eyes, we often act on it, but are we aware of whether it is emotionally honest, for dishonest feelings in relationships often betray us into doing things that are morally incorrect. Ethics is the study of what is morally correct, but ethicists have not taken into account whether our feelings, that motivate us and shape the reality we see with are morally honest. Until we know whether our feelings are honest, we will never be able to fulfill the moral command that is the entire summation of good books, to love your neighbor, as yourself is love of God. When we love our neighbor, we love God, yet up until the latest century with the advent of the psychology of self-love, we were taught to deny ourselves making it impossible to fulfill the moral command, in effect as we denied ourselves, we denied God. The Ethical Standard investigates the damage done to our social system because of this and reveals an entertaining look at the science of inter-dimensional travel and the advent of ideas that reveal we are just beginning an eternal road of purposeful happiness.
Download or read book Arthur Conan Doyle s Art of Fiction written by Nils Clausson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book rescues Arthur Conan Doyle from the sub-literary category of popular fiction and from the myth of Sherlock Holmes. Instead of following new historicists and postcolonialists and asking what Conan Doyle’s fiction reveals about its author and what it tells us about Victorian attitudes to crime, class, Empire and gender, this provocative and convincingly argued literary study shifts the critical emphasis to the neglected art of the novels, tales and stories. It demonstrates through close reading that they can be read the same way as canonical literary fiction. Unapologetically polemical and written in an accessible, jargon-free style, this book will stimulate debate and provoke counterarguments, but most importantly it will send readers, both within and outside the academy, back to the fiction with heightened understanding and renewed pleasure. At a time when evaluation has virtually disappeared from literary studies, this iconoclastic book returns it to the centre.
Download or read book Arthur Miller for the Twenty First Century written by Stephen Marino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Miller for the Twenty-First Century: Contemporary Views of His Writings and Ideas brings together both established Miller experts and emerging commentators to investigate the sources of his ongoing resonance with audiences and his place in world theatre. The collection begins by exploring Miller in the context of 20th-century American drama. Chapters discuss Miller and Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee, David Mamet, and Sam Shepard, as well as thematic relationships between Miller’s ideas and the explosion of significant women and African American dramatists since the 1970s. Other essays focus more directly on interpretations of Miller’s individual works, not only plays but also essays and fiction, including a discussion of Death of a Salesman in China. The volume concludes by considering Miller and current cultural issues: his work for human rights, his depiction of American ideals of masculinity, and his anticipation of contemporary posthumanism.
