Download or read book The Desiring Modes of Being Black written by Jean-Paul Rocchi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critique of theory through literature that celebrates the diversity of black being, The Desiring Modes of Being Black explores how literature unearths theoretical blind spots while reasserting the legitimacy of emotional turbulence in the controlled realm of reason that rationality claims to establish. This approach operates a critical shift by examining psychoanalytical texts from the literary perspective of black desiring subjectivities and experiences. This combination of psychoanalysis and the politics of literary interpretation of black texts helps determine how contemporary African American and black literature and queer texts come to defy and challenge the racial and sexual postulates of psychoanalysis or indeed any theoretical system that intends to define race, gender and sexualities. The Desiring Modes of Being Black includes essays on James Baldwin, Sigmund Freud, Melvin Dixon, Essex Hemphill, Assotto Saint, and Rozena Maart. The metacritical reading they unfold interweaves African American culture, Fanonian and Caribbean thought, South African black consciousness, French theory, psychoanalysis, and gender and queer studies.
Download or read book The Metamorphoses of Kinship written by Maurice Godelier and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2012-03-03 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With marriage in decline, divorce on the rise, the demise of the nuclear family, and the increase in marriages and adoptions among same-sex partners, it is clear that the structures of kinship in the modern West are in a state of flux. In The Metamorphoses of Kinship, the world-renowned anthropologist Maurice Godelier contextualizes these developments, surveying the accumulated experience of humanity with regard to such phenomena as the organization of lines of descent, sexuality and sexual prohibitions. In parallel, Godelier studies the evolution of Western conjugal and familial traditions from their roots in the nineteenth century to the present. The conclusion he draws is that it is never the case that a man and a woman are sufficient on their own to raise a child, and nowhere are relations of kinship or the family the keystone of society. Godelier argues that the changes of the last thirty years do not herald the disappearance or death agony of kinship, but rather its remarkable metamorphosis—one that, ironically, is bringing us closer to the “traditional” societies studied by ethnologists.
Download or read book Connexions Manuel pour la lutte contre le discours de haine en ligne par l ducation aux droits de l homme written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’action du Conseil de l’Europe en faveur de la démocratie est fortement axée sur l’éducation : l’éducation à l’école, mais aussi l’éducation en tant que pratique de la démocratie tout au long de la vie, comme dans le cadre des activités d’apprentissage non formel. L’éducation aux droits de l’homme et l’éducation à la citoyenneté démocratique font partie intégrante du socle que nous devons bâtir pour faire de la démocratie une réalité durable. Le discours de haine est l’une des formes les plus inquiétantes de racisme et de discrimination qui sévit aujourd’hui en Europe, amplifiée par internet et les médias sociaux. Le discours de haine en ligne n’est que la partie visible de l’iceberg de l’intolérance et de l’ethnocentrisme. Les jeunes sont directement concernés, en tant qu’acteurs et victimes d’abus des droits de l’homme en ligne. L’Europe a besoin que les jeunes veillent aux droits de l’homme et les protègent : c’est là l’assurance-vie de la démocratie. Connexions vise à soutenir le Mouvement contre le discours de haine, autrement dit, la campagne de la jeunesse du Conseil de l’Europe pour les droits de l’homme en ligne. Connexions est un outil précieux pour les éducateurs qui souhaitent aborder le discours de haine en ligne sous l’angle des droits de l’homme, tant dans le système éducatif formel que dans le cadre de l’éducation informelle. Ce manuel a été conçu pour travailler avec des apprenants de 13 à 18 ans, mais les activités proposées peuvent être adaptées à d’autres groupes d’âge.
Download or read book No Future written by Lee Edelman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-12-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this searing polemic, Lee Edelman outlines a radically uncompromising new ethics of queer theory. His main target is the all-pervasive figure of the child, which he reads as the linchpin of our universal politics of “reproductive futurism.” Edelman argues that the child, understood as innocence in need of protection, represents the possibility of the future against which the queer is positioned as the embodiment of a relentlessly narcissistic, antisocial, and future-negating drive. He boldly insists that the efficacy of queerness lies in its very willingness to embrace this refusal of the social and political order. In No Future, Edelman urges queers to abandon the stance of accommodation and accede to their status as figures for the force of a negativity that he links with irony, jouissance, and, ultimately, the death drive itself. Closely engaging with literary texts, Edelman makes a compelling case for imagining Scrooge without Tiny Tim and Silas Marner without little Eppie. Looking to Alfred Hitchcock’s films, he embraces two of the director’s most notorious creations: the sadistic Leonard of North by Northwest, who steps on the hand that holds the couple precariously above the abyss, and the terrifying title figures of The Birds, with their predilection for children. Edelman enlarges the reach of contemporary psychoanalytic theory as he brings it to bear not only on works of literature and film but also on such current political flashpoints as gay marriage and gay parenting. Throwing down the theoretical gauntlet, No Future reimagines queerness with a passion certain to spark an equally impassioned debate among its readers.
Download or read book Andy Kaufman written by Bob Zmuda and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time ever, the two people who knew Andy Kaufman best open up about the most enigmatic artist of our generation. Comedian and Taxi star Andy Kaufman, known for his crazy antics on screen and off, was the ultimate prankster, delighting audiences with his Elvis and Mighty Mouse impressions while also antagonizing them with his wrestling and lounge-lizard alter ego, Tony Clifton. Some say he died in 1984, while others believe he performed the ultimate vanishing act. In Andy Kaufman: The Truth, Finally, Bob Zmuda, Andy's writer and best friend, and Lynn Margulies, the love of Andy's life, reveal all—including surprising secrets that Andy made Lynne and Bob promise never to tell until both of his parents had died. Hilarious and poignant, this book separates fact from fiction, and includes a candid inside look at the Milos Forman film Man on the Moon, which Zmuda coexecutive produced and featured Jim Carrey as Andy, Paul Giamatti as Zmuda, Courtney Love as Margulies, and Danny DeVito as Andy's manager, George Shapiro. Finally, Bob Zmuda shares in detail the reasons he believes Andy Kaufman did, in fact, fake his own death, including exactly how he did it and why he will return.

Download or read book Female Figures in Art and Media written by Monique Jucquois-Delpierre and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study represents several years' work on the image of women and genre images of women. It uses two modes of reflecting on or between the far from clearly definable concepts of gender, femininity or masculinity and their representation in time and space. The first one leads the reader between (scientific) texts analysing different aspects or figures to enable questions on gender to be concretized. The second mode of reflection extends a sensitive thread between art and science. New forms of art and human interaction are experimented with in an original dynamic process. Diese Studie veranschaulicht die Arbeit mehrerer Jahre über das Bild und die Genrebilder von Frauen. Sie zeigt, wie die Frau und das Genre erzählt oder beschrieben werden, welche Mythen oder Allegorien (Eva, Antigone oder Aschenputtel) seit Jahrhunderten in der Kunst, der Literatur und den Medien ständig überarbeitet und umgestellt werden. Zwei Denkansätze leiten den Leser/Zuschauer durch die mehrdeutigen Figuren und Konzepte des Weiblichen oder Männlichen. Der erste ist wissenschaftlich gängig und textuell, der zweite Ansatz ist visuell, spannt einen sensiblen Faden zwischen Wissenschaft und Kunst und erlaubt, neue menschliche und künstlerische Formen bzw. Wechselwirkungen auszuprobieren. Cette étude concrétise un travail de plusieurs années sur l'Image et les images du genre. Elle montre comment sont racontés ou décrits la femme et le genre, quels mythes ou allégories (Eve, Antigone ou Cendrillon) sont refondus et transposés en permanence depuis des siècles dans l'art, la littérature et les médias. Deux modes de réflexion conduisent le lecteur/spectateur à travers les figures et concepts ambigus de féminin ou masculin, le premier mode usuel scientifique et textuel, le second, visuel, tend un fil sensible entre science et art et permet d'expérimenter de nouvelles formes et interactions humaines et artistiques.

Download or read book Queer Roots for the Diaspora written by Jarrod Hayes and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employing rootedness as a way of understanding identity has increasingly been subjected to acerbic political and theoretical critiques. Politically, roots narratives have been criticized for attempting to police identity through a politics of purity—excluding anyone who doesn’t share the same narrative. Theoretically, a critique of essentialism has led to a suspicion against essence and origins regardless of their political implications. The central argument of Queer Roots for the Diaspora is that, in spite of these debates, ultimately the desire for roots contains the “roots” of its own deconstruction. The book considers alternative root narratives that acknowledge the impossibility of returning to origins with any certainty; welcome sexual diversity; acknowledge their own fictionality; reveal that even a single collective identity can be rooted in multiple ways; and create family trees haunted by the queer others patrilineal genealogy seems to marginalize. The roots narratives explored in this book simultaneously assert and question rooted identities within a number of diasporas—African, Jewish, and Armenian. By looking at these together, one can discern between the local specificities of any single diaspora and the commonalities inherent in diaspora as a global phenomenon. This comparatist, interdisciplinary study will interest scholars in a diversity of fields, including diaspora studies, postcolonial studies, LGBTQ studies, French and Francophone studies, American studies, comparative literature, and literary theory.
Download or read book Genre et fondamentalismes Gender and Fundamentalisms written by Fatou Sow and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, why and how can religion and culture be both sources, and places of expression for fundamentalisms, particularly in relation to politics? Those are the central questions asked throughout this book alongside a discussion on the result when religion, strenthened by culture, is used as a political tool to access moral and social power. Cultural and religious messages often form the basis of decisions, laws and programs made in politics, and have a direct effect on society in general, and on women and gender relations in particular. The various forms taken by fundamentalisms in some African countries and the contexts under which they have emerged, the ways in which they (re)shape identities and relationships between men and women are also analysed in this book. These fundamentalisms are frequently sources of concern in social debates, in feminist and feminine organizations as well as in academia and politics. The manipulation of cultures and religions are becoming progressively political, and consequently can cause social discrimination, or even physical, moral, and symbolic violence.

This publication presents theoretical information, methods and resources for education and training activities, along with concrete exercises that users can put into practice in their daily work. Violence is a serious issue which directly affects the lives of many young people. It often results in lasting damage to their well-being and integrity, putting even their lives at risk. Gender-based violence, including violence against women, remains a key human rights challenge in contemporary Europe and in the world. Working with young people on human rights education is one way of preventing gender-based violence from occurring. By raising awareness on why and how it manifests and exploring its impact on people and in society, gender-based violence will no longer go undetected. Gender really does matter, to women, to men, to young people - to all of us. This manual serves to explore these human rights issues and act upon them."--Book jacket.
Download or read book Les Spirales Du Sens Chez Renaud Camus written by Ralph William Sarkonak and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Spirales du sens chez Renaud Camus a pour but de donner une idée de l'oeuvre multiforme de Renaud Camus, laquelle comprend maintenant plus de soixante-dix livres, sans parler des sites de l'auteur, dont Vaisseaux brûlés, et celui du parti de l'In-nocence. Peu de lecteurs de Camus ont tout lu; quant à ses critiques et détracteurs, lors de l'affaire Camus ou après, on sait que souvent ils n'avaient lu de cette vaste oeuvre que quelques phrases tronquées citées hors contexte. C'est pourquoi il semble opportun de jeter un (nouveau) coup d'oeil sinon sur toute l'oeuvre, tâche quasi impossible, du moins sur certains de ses versants, tenants et aboutissants. Vu les travaux déjà accomplis, on a fait le choix de ne pas trop s'attarder sur les textes romanesques inépuisables. On poursuivra plutôt la discussion au sujet de cette Affaire dont certains se plaisent à nier l'existence aujourd'hui. Notre collectif tient compte aussi du site du Parti fondé par Renaud Camus en 2002. D'autre part plusieurs articles insistent de manière variée sur l'importance du Journal qu'on peut considérer comme le tronc d'une oeuvre qui n'arrête pas de croître, poussant ses feuilles en maintes directions, tantôt du côté de la pure littérature, tantôt de la polémique politique ou autre.

Book excerpt: Franois Hollande a promis dtre un prsident normal. Avec le recul, il est apparu trs vite quil aurait mieux valu pour notre pays un prsident hors-normes, visionnaire et comptent, eu gard la situation de crise qui est toujours celle de notre pays. La dclaration du candidat Hollande tait une flche empoisonne dcoche Nicolas Sarkozy, prsent pendant toute sa campagne comme un prsident litiste et Bling Bling, mais le choix de ce mot est rvlateur et appartient au champ lexical dun discours typiquement populiste qui repose sur des assertions non dmontres et simplistes qui rpondent ce que le peuple a envie dentendre. Elle dmontre comment une socit de normes, de diktats, de marqueurs idologiques, liberticide et totalitaire tend faire disparatre le droit la diffrence, instaure une pense unique, politiquement correcte et comment les Inquisiteurs de la Normalitude stigmatisent, diabolisent les insoumis qui gardent leur esprit critique et leur libert de pense.
