Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fables by Jean de La Fontaine are considered classics of French literature. Collecting fables from a variety of sources, La Fontaine then adapted them into verse. Consisting of twelve books and 239 fables in all, these were originally aimed at adults, but have since been taught to children as a way to educate them in morals. At times they have been mixed in with the fables of Aesop. The sources for the fables are wide ranging, from Aesop to Boccaccio, from Babrius to Machiavelli - even drawing at times from ancient Indian collections of tales.

Download or read book Erotic Faculties written by Joanna Frueh and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The erotic and the intellectual come together to create a new kind of criticism in the lushly written work of Joanna Frueh. Addressing sexuality in ways that are usually hidden or left unsaid, Frueh—a noted performance artist and art historian—explores subjects such as aging, beauty, love, sex, pleasure, contemporary art, and the body as a site and vehicle of knowledge. Frueh's language is explicit, graphic, fragmented. She assumes multiple voices: those of lover, prophet, daughter, mythmaker, art critic, activist, and bleeding heart. What results is an utterly original narrative that frees us from the false objectivity of traditional critical discourse and affirms the erotic as a way to ease human suffering. Through personal reflection, parody, autobiography, and poetry, Frueh shows us what it means to perform criticism, to personalize critical thinking. Rejecting postmodern, deconstructed prose, she recuperates the sentimental, proudly asserts a romantic viewpoint, and disrupts academic and feminist conventions. Erotic Faculties seeks to free the power of our unutilized erotic faculties and to expand the possibilities of criticism; it is a wild ride and a consummate pleasure. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1996.

Download or read book This Black Ideology written by Sternly K` Simon and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-09-02 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basically time and place inspired the small pieces that made up this book into; This Black-ideology, Black Child, Without Sonnet, Cultivating palatable soils, Phenomena, Until the End, A secret told to 1 is all and His fables. Call this book blind poetry, for the poet has never went into depths of learning literature in its pure sense but dear thanks to being colonized by Britain the vocabulary intertwined with my mother tongue has not forfeited this anthology. In goodwill for high education in Africa, poetry enthusiast and scholars shall reap This Black-ideology to use it in motivating their own style of writing poetry and teaching. Unlike wise this book is not about sonnet-ical love poems, perhaps some of the pieces might be musical; the melody will be articulated by the artist not the poet at the point of writing. All intent to produce This Black-ideology was an utterly original endeavour, one pursued from beginning of my time to write and utter. This Black-ideology is art in its own form of creativeness and cannot be judged in-comparison to other poets works. It ranks itself to the level of the readers understanding about poetry to digest its simplicity with reason. Otherwise scepticism should be cleared by this synopsis about the book and its title being This Black-ideology (Poetry).

Download or read book Wandering The Wild Wild West written by Don Presnell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wild Wild West premiered on CBS in 1965, just as network dominance of television Westerns was waning and the global James Bond phenomenon was in full force. Described as "James Bond on horseback," the series was like nothing else on TV before or since--a genre hybrid that followed the adventures of 1870s Secret Service agents James West and Artemus Gordon, on special assignment from President Ulysses S. Grant. The show featured clever gadgets and costumes, carefully choreographed action and fight sequences, and stories that melded elements of Western, science fiction, fantasy, espionage and detective genres. This book provides in-depth critical analysis of this unique, eclectic series, considered one of the primary influences on Steampunk subculture.

Download or read book Me and My Cell Phone written by Crystal Powell and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cell phones and the Internet have been the recipients of in-depth research on their increased and rapid integration into everyday life and the innovative appropriations associated with them in many societies. The cell phone has attracted particular attention in its perceived abilities to both enhance and destruct social relationships. Our increased access to social media and to the cell phone has taken social networking to an unprecedented level. These communication technologies are revered by many as great, all-purpose, all-positive communication devices in spite of their flaws. They are overwhelmingly bestowed with agency and superiority. Too often, they are idolized with little regard to how they affect and are affected by their users on a personal level. The mutual shaping between technology and society is not adequately acknowledged. Technologies, in spite of the seemingly endless possibilities offered by their many functions, can quite literally be sterile and useless objects outside of conscious and tangible human effort. Cell phones and the Internet, though undoubtedly capable of providing myriad beneficial opportunities for their users, need at long last to be put in their place. This book is a contribution in that regard. Kindled by her own intimate history with her cell phone and a growing curiosity about ICTs in general, this book is a culmination of Crystal Powells thoughts, reactions to and interpretations of some of the literature on these technologies. The book draws on and critically reviews contributions by some leading authors on the social shaping of ICTs and social media to offer a more nuanced and complex understanding of technology in relation to those who use and are used by it.
