Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Number one international bestselling author Lorna Byrne, an Irish mystic who gives hope and a sense of peace (The Times, UK), shares the encouraging messages she receives from angels to help carry us through life's challenges. Lorna Byrne sees and speaks to angels physically every day, communicating with them as clearly as the rest of us see people. In A Message of Hope from the Angels, Lorna comforts and consoles us with the knowledge that, no matter how alone you might feel, you always have a guardian angel by your side. As she writes, These days I see a lot of angels holding lights in front of people, helping to encourage them. I see so much to be hopeful about and in this book I pass on these messages of hope. Through this inspiring and uplifting book, Lorna reveals how we can call on the help of angels to carry us through the difficulties that we all inevitably face, including loneliness, depression, stress, financial strain, heartbreak, the death of a loved one, or feelings of inadequacy. No matter what obstacles you encounter, you can always call on the support of angels to make your life happier and more fulfilling.
Download or read book Without Criteria written by Steven Shaviro and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As young females we are taught physics, mathematics, biology, in case you go to school; in case not, at least parents taught us our duties, transmit values and their fears, but no one gives us classes on how to manage our feelings, we are left in silence with our own thoughts, sometimes, at home, there are no explanation on how to handle disappointments, racism, misogynist mates. Parents have their own traditions, the love for us , and at the same time the ignorance of a changing world may result in our question increasing their fears and our doubts. If adults refuse to answer, and we ask our siblings they might not know, so we should investigate in various sources, books, videos, prestigious conferences, now we can find things from the most prestigious universities. But when we are kids, we learn through stories, in this book you will find many answers that different women, from childhood to youth have had, and they learnt from living their challenges and surpassing their obstacles. I hope these stories resonate in some or other way with you, and start writing your own. You will be taken to different worlds in which many different women have lived their life, from North to South, from poverty and wealth, traditions and breaking patterns, these paths are just some o many females walk and open doors to live better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y todos eramos actores, un siglo de luz y sombra nos sumerge en una doble historia de amor, una de emotiva y humana dimension entre nuestro heroe y La Bella entre las bellas; y otra, sublime y tragica, entre un recio, varonil y enorme camion frances de 36 toneladas y un fragil y coqueto auto dorado, al mas puro y chabacano gusto narco, que sin rumbo deambulaban transportando actores y viejos decorados por los escarpados caminos de la cordillera de los Andes desde Buenos Aires, Argentina, hasta Santa Marta, Colombia.Una historia que como los amores se desarrolla entre la comedia italiana y la tragedia griega al recorrer un siglo herido mostrando la belleza de su piel y el hedor de sus heridas.Relata la epopeya de un hombre-testigo-actor-aventurero que sonriendo cruzo sin ser visto un siglo tormentoso en el que por haber visto lo que no debio ver, y saber que no lo vio todo, fue condenado a desaparecer de la historia escrita en blanco y negro, la lineal e insipida que exige tomar partido, aquella que busca reemplazar los barrotes de hierro de la celda por barrotes de deslucidos parlamentos destinados a encerrar el pensamiento y desterrar la voz discordante.Ajada historia de falsos decorados de carton piedra que quieren ocultar la realidad olvidando que en aquella epoca no habia espectadores, que todos eramos actores, olvidando que la razon de ser del actor es morir para renacer sobre otro escenario en la piel de otro personaje ocultandose asi de los inquisidores para, riendose, contrastar la belleza y el hedor de un siglo de luz y sombra. !Oh dioses, tened piedad de mi, dadme la fuerza necesaria para inmolarme y renacer en la palabra! y a vosotros, lectores, les pido que me acompanen por los espirales de vida y de muerte hasta desaparecer en el ultimo escalon de la obra cuando libres podran escoger el papel que les corresponda.La prosa traviesa, el verso herido, la imagen cinematografica, la replica insolente, el viaje, la autobiografia y la ficcion se entremezclan en Y todos eramos actores recuperando la riqueza perdida en la escritura, aquella que Enrique Vila-Matas imaginara para el futuro de la literatura y del libro, como lo dijera en la FIL de Guadalajara:"e;Pensaba que en este siglo se mezclarian la autobiografia, el diario de viajes y la ficcion. Pensaba que ibamos a una literatura mixta donde los limites se difuminarian, pensaba que la accion se difuminaria en favor del pensamiento"e;... "e;Luego las cosas se torcieron. La industria editorial esta erradicando de la literatura todo aquello que nos quiere hacer creer que es demasiado pesado o que va demasiado cargado de sentido. El panorama desde el punto de vista literario es desolador"e;.Desolador, a menos que se escoja la curva equivocada, la mas peligrosa y por ello la mas excitante y hermosa, rechazando los derroteros que la industria editorial corporativa nos quiere imponer a usted como lector y a mi como escritor, y escojamos libremente un mundo editorial en el que el yo, lector y el yo, escritor, en la diversidad, podamos amarnos.De Y todos eramos actores:Dos dias mas tarde levantamos la huelga de hambre, se habia encontrado una salida al laberinto, faltaba solamente despejar las vias para alcanzar esa salida, en Colombia nada es facil, un si es un no y en el mejor de los casos un quizas; un silencio es un grito y en ese espacio nos habian permitido desplazarnos, se regresaba a las costumbres milenarias, a las primeras civilizaciones: a los locos y los juglares se les respeta hermano, en ellos somos, en ellos permanece nuestra memoria.*Rompio las fronteras, el director no esta hablando de Colombia.*Y nosotros no estamos hablando de nuestros muertos; nuestras masacres son sus masacres, nuestros laberintos no tienen salida.El mar nuevamente me ofrecia una salida.*Entrada, entrada, no salida. Hay algunos que nunca aprenden.
Download or read book Passing to Am rica written by Thomas A. Abercrombie and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1803 in the colonial South American city of La Plata, Doña Martina Vilvado y Balverde presented herself to church and crown officials to denounce her husband of more than four years, Don Antonio Yta, as a “woman in disguise.” Forced to submit to a medical inspection that revealed a woman’s body, Don Antonio confessed to having been María Yta, but continued to assert his maleness and claimed to have a functional “member” that appeared, he said, when necessary. Passing to América is at once a historical biography and an in-depth examination of the sex/gender complex in an era before “gender” had been divorced from “sex.” The book presents readers with the original court docket, including Don Antonio’s extended confession, in which he tells his life story, and the equally extraordinary biographical sketch offered by Felipa Ybañez of her “son María,” both in English translation and the original Spanish. Thomas A. Abercrombie’s analysis not only grapples with how to understand the sex/gender system within the Spanish Atlantic empire at the turn of the nineteenth century but also explores what Antonio/María and contemporaries can teach us about the complexities of the relationship between sex and gender today. Passing to América brings to light a previously obscure case of gender transgression and puts Don Antonio’s life into its social and historical context in order to explore the meaning of “trans” identity in Spain and its American colonies. This accessible and intriguing study provides new insight into historical and contemporary gender construction that will interest students and scholars of gender studies and colonial Spanish literature and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed editor of The New York Times Book Review takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the pre-Internet age, offering powerful insights into both the profound and the seemingly trivial things we've lost. NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE AND THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS • “A deft blend of nostalgia, humor and devastating insights.”—People Remember all those ingrained habits, cherished ideas, beloved objects, and stubborn preferences from the pre-Internet age? They’re gone. To some of those things we can say good riddance. But many we miss terribly. Whatever our emotional response to this departed realm, we are faced with the fact that nearly every aspect of modern life now takes place in filtered, isolated corners of cyberspace—a space that has slowly subsumed our physical habitats, replacing or transforming the office, our local library, a favorite bar, the movie theater, and the coffee shop where people met one another’s gaze from across the room. Even as we’ve gained the ability to gather without leaving our house, many of the fundamentally human experiences that have sustained us have disappeared. In one hundred glimpses of that pre-Internet world, Pamela Paul, editor of The New York Times Book Review, presents a captivating record, enlivened with illustrations, of the world before cyberspace—from voicemails to blind dates to punctuation to civility. There are the small losses: postcards, the blessings of an adolescence largely spared of documentation, the Rolodex, and the genuine surprises at high school reunions. But there are larger repercussions, too: weaker memories, the inability to entertain oneself, and the utter demolition of privacy. 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is at once an evocative swan song for a disappearing era and, perhaps, a guide to reclaiming just a little bit more of the world IRL.
