Book excerpt: The Byzantine Empire is a time and place of enlightenment and diversity, but also zealous piety. Young Adila hungers for this wealth of culture, but as a girl, she’s barred from partaking in the richness of society. Her abusive father’s solution is to force her to be his longed-for son, Adilsen. He moves their family from Finland to an abbey village in Russia. Outwardly, Adilsen goes along with her father’s disguise. It allows her to enter the all-male religious order, where she discovers her love of music, knowledge and God. But Adila lives with the constant threat of her secret being exposed. Adila flourishes in the choir, and the Bishop of Constantinople selects her to travel to the capitol. But he doesn’t choose her for her singing The Bishop wants Adilsen as a pawn in his treasonous scheme, entangling her in political corruption at the highest levels of the empire. At the Byzantine monastery in Constantinople, Adilsen must deceive everyone to conceal her true gender. But then she falls in love with Majidi, a visiting dignitary from the far south of the realm. When she shocks the Bishop with a dramatic miscarriage, he banishes her to Majidi’s harem in Trebizond. Enslaved in the citadel, she must now fight the harem hierarchy to escape rape, abuse and death. As a boy, Adila’s resourcefulness and strength were lauded, but as a concubine, she is a dangerous threat to tradition. SIRENS’ SONG is an epic historical fiction adventure of Adila growing into a forceful, intelligent, independent woman in a time when these qualities in a female could get her killed. Through music, spirituality and the challenges of loving a man of a different race and religion, Adila learns from those on the fringes of society how to battle through layers of convention, and claim power in her femininity.
Download or read book Sirens of the Western Shore written by Indra A. Levy and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cross-fertilization of languages, cultures, and literary forms that produced modern Japanese literature also gave birth to a new literary archetype: the "Westernesque femme fatale," an alluring figure who is ethnically Japanese but evokes the West in her physical appearance, lifestyle, behavior, and use of language. Tracing the genesis of this archetype from her first appearance in the vernacularist fiction of the late 1880s to her role in Naturalist fiction of the mid-1900s and her embodiment by the modern Japanese actress in the early 1910s, Sirens of the Western Shore identifies the Westernesque femme fatale as the hallmark of an intertextual exoticism that prizes the strange beauty of modern Western writing. By illuminating the exoticist impulses that informed this archetype, Indra Levy offers a new understanding of the relationships between vernacular style and translation, originality and imitation, and writing and performance.

Download or read book Dub written by Michael Veal and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the ARSC’s Award for Best Research (History) in Folk, Ethnic, or World Music (2008) When Jamaican recording engineers Osbourne “King Tubby” Ruddock, Errol Thompson, and Lee “Scratch” Perry began crafting “dub” music in the early 1970s, they were initiating a musical revolution that continues to have worldwide influence. Dub is a sub-genre of Jamaican reggae that flourished during reggae’s “golden age” of the late 1960s through the early 1980s. Dub involves remixing existing recordings—electronically improvising sound effects and altering vocal tracks—to create its unique sound. Just as hip-hop turned phonograph turntables into musical instruments, dub turned the mixing and sound processing technologies of the recording studio into instruments of composition and real-time improvisation. In addition to chronicling dub’s development and offering the first thorough analysis of the music itself, author Michael Veal examines dub’s social significance in Jamaican culture. He further explores the “dub revolution” that has crossed musical and cultural boundaries for over thirty years, influencing a wide variety of musical genres around the globe.

Download or read book Sex Hormones and Immunity to Infection written by Sabra L. Klein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-22 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why sex matters Among human and nonhuman animals, the prevalence and intensity of infection typically is higher in males than females and may reflect differences in exposure as well as susceptibility to pathogens. Elevated immunity among females is a double-edged sword in which it is beneficial against infectious diseases but is detrimental in terms of increased development of autoimmune diseases. The present book critically reviews the evolutionary origin and the functional mechanisms responsible for sexual dimorphism in response to infection. It emphasizes the value of examining responses in both males and females to improve our understanding about host-pathogen interactions in both sexes. The contributors are experts in their specific disciplines which range from microbiology and immunology to genetics, pathology, and evolutionary biology. The book aims at bringing insight to the treatment and management of infectious diseases; it delineates areas where knowledge is lacking and highlights future avenues of research.

Download or read book Design and Spirituality written by Stuart Walker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design and Spirituality examines the philosophical context of our current situation and its implications for design. It explores how modernity and our constricted notions of progress have contributed to today’s crisis of values, and argues for a re-establishment and re-affirmation of self-transcending priorities, together with an ethos of moderation and sufficiency. A wide range of topics are covered, including material culture and spiritual teachings; sustainability and the spiritual perspective; traditional and indigenous knowledge; technology and spirituality; notions of meaningful design; and how particular material things can have deeper, symbolic significance. There are also reflections on areas such as the language of design; busyness and its relationship to wisdom; design and social disparity; and traditional sacred practices. While not avoiding issues that are controversial, and sometimes hard-hitting, Design and Spirituality gets to the heart of the key issues affecting us today and presents them in a highly readable and accessible format. The author is a leading thinker in the field and he presents his arguments in a manner that invites the reader to reflect and think about where we are going, why we are going there and what really matters.
