Download or read book The Monster in the Machine written by Zakiya Hanafi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Monster in the Machine tracks the ways in which human beings were defined in contrast to supernatural and demonic creatures during the time of the Scientific Revolution. Zakiya Hanafi recreates scenes of Italian life and culture from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries to show how monsters were conceptualized at this particular locale and historical juncture—a period when the sacred was being supplanted by a secular, decidedly nonmagical way of looking at the world. Noting that the word “monster” is derived from the Latin for “omen” or “warning,” Hanafi explores the monster’s early identity as a portent or messenger from God. Although monsters have always been considered “whatever we are not,” they gradually were tranformed into mechanical devices when new discoveries in science and medicine revealed the mechanical nature of the human body. In analyzing the historical literature of monstrosity, magic, and museum collections, Hanafi uses contemporary theory and the philosophy of technology to illuminate the timeless significance of the monster theme. She elaborates the association between women and the monstrous in medical literature and sheds new light on the work of Vico—particularly his notion of the conatus—by relating it to Vico’s own health. By explicating obscure and fascinating texts from such disciplines as medicine and poetics, she invites the reader to the piazzas and pulpits of seventeenth-century Naples, where poets, courtiers, and Jesuit preachers used grotesque figures of speech to captivate audiences with their monstrous wit. Drawing from a variety of texts from medicine, moral philosophy, and poetics, Hanafi’s guided tour through this baroque museum of ideas will interest readers in comparative literature, Italian literature, history of ideas, history of science, art history, poetics, women’s studies, and philosophy.

Book excerpt: The ferrets? Human pets have gone away for Christmas vacation, and they?re having fun playing. Suddenly they see a horrible ugly face in the window. It?s a monster?and it?s trying to get into their house! Goliath might be the biggest ferret in the Mustela Secret Service, but he?s really just a frightened baby. How can he protect old Nova and his friends? Somehow he has to be brave and strong! ~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~ It was a monster! A gigantic ugly face was staring into the room. It had little black eyes, a big black nose, and strange little ears that flopped down on either side of its head. Its whole face was a mass of floppy brown and white wrinkles. Sharp white teeth pointed in all directions as it pushed its nose against the clear window glass. Suddenly it threw its head back and howled again. It was a sad, lonely sound that sent the ferrets into a panic. Taz threw himself on top of Nova to protect her. Maggie and Zephyr dashed to the other end of their cage so fast that they fell down the ramp, and tumbled over each other. Goliath let out a single shrill scream, but he was too scared to move.ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ Down at the bottom of the cage, the older ferrets shivered and hid under their blankets. Zephyr finally stopped tumbling when she landed right on top of old Gonzo. Maggie fell against her, and poor Gonzo yelled at both of them to Get Off! "Let me see." Nova was buried under Taz, who was shaking so hard that the entire cage was swaying. "Taz, get off me!" Taz didn't move. "It's gone now! Where did it go?" "Taz!" Nova tried to wiggle free, then reached over and bit his foot hard. "Off!" "Ouch!" Taz jumped, and Nova crawled out from under him. "Nova, that hurt!" "I couldn't breathe." Nova rubbed her whiskers against his sore foot in apology. "You're heavy." "I'm sorry, Nova. I don't mean to be." She nudged him in the ribs, and smiled up at him. "You can't help being big. It means you're healthy." Poor Goliath was still standing frozen, staring at the window with huge eyes. ?Wh-where did it go?? Nova climbed up onto his shoulders so she could see the window better. The monster?s big nose had left a wet smudge on the glass, but Taz was right. The monster was gone. ?I don?t know. But it?s gone now, Goliath.? Gently she rubbed at his trembling ears with her nose. ?You?re safe. Nothing can get into the house unless Mom Human or Dad Human let it in.? ?They?ll never let a monster into the house.? Maggie had climbed back up to the top level. Goliath got scared so easily that sometimes she got mad at him. But this time, she had been scared, too. So she didn?t laugh at him, or make fun of him. ?They?ll never do anything that might hurt us.? ?That?s right.? Zephyr was just behind her. ?They take good care of us.? She rubbed against Goliath, and felt him relax. ?We?re all safe as long as we stay inside the house.? Taz was still staring at the window, but his fur had calmed down again. ?You?ve been outside without a Human guard, Zephyr. What do you think it was?? Zephyr loved to talk about the time she?d snuck out of the house, and had romped all around the farm for two whole days before Dad Human had finally caught her in the barn and brought her back into the house. ?There are lots of wild animals outside,? she told him with big, serious eyes. ?I?ve never seen anything like that before. It was too ugly to be a farm animal, so it must have been something wild.? Maggie thought about that for a minute. ?It sure was ugly,? she finally agreed. ?I wonder why it came here.? ?It?s probably hungry.? Goliath remembered the crunchy pellets he?d hidden under his blanket, and quickly ate one. ?Wild animals are always hungry.? ?You?re always hungry,? Maggie teased, smacking his thick black fur with one tiny white paw. ?Does that make you a wild animal?? Goliath looked down at her. He was nearly twice her size, and could have crushed her just by sitting on her. ?It makes me,? he said, reaching for another pellet, ?a growing boy.?

Book excerpt: Mixed feelings about motherhood—uncertainty over having a child, fears of pregnancy and childbirth, or negative thoughts about one’s own children—are not just hard to discuss, they are a powerful social taboo. In this beautifully written book, Barbara Almond brings this troubling issue to light. She uncovers the roots of ambivalence, tells how it manifests in lives of women and their children, and describes a spectrum of maternal behavior—from normal feelings to highly disturbed mothering.

Download or read book The Monster Within written by David R. Worrell and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spring of 1985, Dave Worrell, a police detective on Canada’s Sunshine Coast, received a call: a young female provincial ward reported that she had been sexually assualted by her school principal. Dave was no stranger to investigating allegations like these, but as he dove deeper into the suspect’s history, it soon became clear that Robert Olav Noyes’s actions were even more far-reaching and sinister than anyone could have imagined. The Noyes case is infamous in British Columbia not only for the nature of the crime, but for the number of victims and the length of time he had been perpetrating; although he was ultimately charged with nineteen counts of sexual assault, he admitted to assaulting over sixty, and investigators believe the true count is in the hundreds. But how did he go unseen for so long? With care and precision, Dave recounts the investigation, interviewing witnesses and gathering information, all as the small-town communities involved fall apart in the wake of Noyes’s arrest. He unfolds the story piece by piece, then takes it to court, providing firsthand experience and transcripts of the gruelling court sessions to prosecute Noyes. The Monster Within is a close look at the Noyes case written by the lead investigator himself, spanning from the nascent moments of the Noyes case to the aftermath of his sentence.
