Fear is gripping. It can paralyze. It can force people to do things they normally wouldn't do. Many are repulsed by it because of the trepidation it causes. It has many facets due to it's unique nature, therefore few choose to explore its depths. I can understand why. It awakens in us those primal forces that we've fought so hard to control or contain. Yet we all acknowledge it's there. If we're caught off guard, we know it can unexpectedly take control. For many, this thought frightens them most of all... However, there are other aspects to this ancient force. For some, it has the ability to excite or even arouse... so I decided to take a journey into it's deepest, darkest depths and share what I discovered. With that being said, I ask you to join me in the chapters that follow. For even in darkness, great discoveries can be made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alerting readers to a body of recent work that has gone under-examined, Tania Modleski redraws in Old Wives' Tales the perimeter of popular culture. A critical analysis of films such as The Ballad of Little Jo, The Piano and Dogfight, Old Wives' Tales also takes up performance, autobiographical experience, and contemporary social issues to illustrate how women's genres mediate between us and reality. Modelski examines the changes occurring in traditional women's genres, such as romances and melodrama, and explores the phenomenon of female authors and performers who "cross-dress"--women, that is, who are moving into male genres and staking out territory declared off-limits by men and by many feminists.

Download or read book Boccaccio Chaucer and Stories for an Uncertain World written by Robert W. Hanning and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boccaccio, Chaucer, and Stories for an Uncertain World understands the Decameron and the Canterbury Tales to communicate a radical uncertainty haunting most human endeavors, one that challenges effective knowledge of the future, the past, or the distant present; accurate perception of both complex, equivocal signifying systems, including language, and the intentions hidden rather than revealed by the words and deeds of others; and successful strategy in dealing with the chronic excesses and arbitrariness of power. This comparative study of Decameron novelle and Canterbury pilgrim tales yields the insight that the key to coping with these challenges is pragmatic prudence: rational calculation issuing in an opportunistic, often amoral choice of ingenious deeds and/or eloquent words appropriate (though without guarantee) to mastering a specific crisis, and achieving the goal of agency in the here and now, not salvation in the Hereafter. An initial chapter explores the Aristotelian antecedents, contemporaneous cultural influences, and narrative techniques that intersect to shape the radically uncertain world of the Decameron and the Canterbury Tales, while succeeding chapters pair, and compare, stories from both collections that illustrate the quest for agency-its successes and its failures—through plots often brilliantly adapted from simpler antecedents, as well as eloquence by turns satiric and insightful. This is storytelling that exposes a culture's fears, as well as its aspirations for mastery over the circumstances that challenge its existence; reading these tales should be a labor of love and the goal of this study is to help assure that the reader's labor shall not be lost.
