Download or read book Love WITH Accountability written by Aishah Shahidah Simmons and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the current survivor-affirming awareness around sexual violence, child sexual abuse, most notably when it’s a family member or friend, is still a very taboo topic. There are approximately 42 million child sexual abuse survivors in the U.S. and millions of bystanders who look the other way as the abuse occurs and cover for the harm-doers with no accountability. Documentary filmmaker and survivor of child sexual abuse and adult rape, Aishah Shahidah Simmons invites diasporic Black people to join her in transformative storytelling that envisions a world that ends child sexual abuse without relying on the criminal justice system. Love WITH Accountability features compelling writings by child sexual abuse survivors, advocates, and Simmons’s mother, who underscores the detrimental impact of parents/caregivers not believing their children when they disclose their sexual abuse. This collection explores disrupting the inhumane epidemic of child sexual abuse, humanely.
Download or read book The Book of Margery Kempe written by Margery Kempe and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1985 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the eventful and controversial life of Margery Kempe - wife, mother, businesswoman, pilgrim and visionary - is the earliest surviving autobiography in English. Here Kempe (c.1373-c.1440) recounts in vivid, unembarrassed detail the madness that followed the birth of the first of her fourteen children, the failure of her brewery business, her dramatic call to the spiritual life, her visions and uncontrollable tears, the struggle to convert her husband to a vow of chastity and her pilgrimages to Europe and the Holy Land. Margery Kempe could not read or write, and dictated her remarkable story late in life. It remains an extraordinary record of human faith and a portrait of a medieval woman of unforgettable character and courage.
Download or read book Love and Violence written by Lea Melandri and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical, philosophical engagement of the psychological structures that propagate the continued oppression of women. In this book, the Italian feminist thinker Lea Melandri argues that systemic violence against women has deep psychoanalytic roots. Drawing inspiration from the work of Freud and the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Elvio Fachinelli, along with feminist practices of consciousness-raising, Melandri demonstrates how male dominance and female subservience are established by society through a binary and oppositional understanding of sex and gender. This understandingand the oppression and violence against women that resultsis inscribed in the psyches of both men and women, and is replicated anew from generation to generation. Melandri analyzes women in media, politics, philosophy, and literature to show how this plays out, and calls for awareness of these deep psychic structures and expectations formed within the dynamics of society and primary family relations. This is a book by a seasoned, experienced, and quite committed Italian feminist thinker who has much to offer to our current context. Linking love and violence as she does, Melandri asks us to face the disturbing fact that deep, often almost atavistic, ties between son and mother, and then husband and wife, are the source both of intense bonds of love as well as furious clashes of hate and violent acting out. For this insight, and for the careful way she works out her argument in this book, Melandri should be read by an English-language audience, and this fine translation will provide the means for it to do so.

Download or read book Battered Love written by Renita J. Weems and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weems's pioneering study explores the puzzling ways in which the Hebrew prophets' portrayals of divine love, compassion, and conventional commitment often became associated with battery, infidelity, and the rape and mutilation of women. She wrestles with the prophets' rhetoric and sexual metaphors to uncover Israelite social structures, asking, "What is implied about women, men, and God by the language that the prophets use to describe the covenant between Yahweh and Israel?" This provocative work by a leading African American biblical scholar delves deeply into issues of intimacy and power, violence and control, seduction and betrayal, and is a searing indictment of the axial points of Israelite religion-its covenantal and prophetic traditions-and their authority today.

Download or read book Sex Violence Death Silence written by Gordon Burn and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Pop artists were among the first to understand the desire of consumers to change their lives through the purchase of clean, manufactured commodities. YBA, on the other hand, was more interested in the dirt that accrues beneath the laminate surface of shiny things. Their special perception was that cheap language and cheap materials didn't have to equal cheap thinking. The trick was to tell it in a jaunty, unportentous, off-hand, unliterary - anti-literary - way. And then there were the drugs.' Spanning nearly 35 years, Sex & Violence, Death & Silence is a collection of the best of Gordon Burn's writing on art. Focusing on two principle generations - the Royal College pop art of Hockney and his contemporaries, and the YBA sensations of the 1990s - it explores how these artists rose to prominence with their friends and contemporaries, and what happened next. Burn's work is fast becoming a kind of chronicle. Its factuality always connects with the broader poetic rythms of cultural life. Displaying all his customary insight and empathy, his writing adds up to much more than a collection of pieces on art: superbly evocative and engaging, it offers a pathway through two of the most important and vibrant periods in recent art history, and is another compelling and ruminative look at our culture.

Download or read book Sex Violence written by Kristy Bowen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Women's Studies. "Kristy Bowen is a master of conjuring the treacheries of femininity. In SEX & VIOLENCE, she draws upon such diverse sources as Plath's Ariel poems (here collaged piece by piece to make her own poems so much stranger, and newer, and hauntingly 'eerie,' as in the absence of the missing, familiar words, and the missing, familiar woman) and, to conjure the contrary, poems set to dumb blonde jokes, where the result of two blondes 'fall(ing) down a hole' is that 'the wishbone of their throats harbor tiny fish and assorted birdery' and that, after murder, their bodies can be found 'placed so careful in their beds each morning.' Here is a book to beware of, dear reader. You'll find yourself trapped inside Bowen's 'enormous wedding cake--a claustrophobic swirl of sugar and lace,' with 'Horses and house fires' placed right next to it, and in its feverish dream of kisses and ruin, you won't want to ever escape."--Gillian Cummings "Bowen is a poet on fire the way that Dali's giraffes are on fire, the way our overheated Earth is on fire, the way Sylvia Plath was on fire the year before her suicide. Her poems happen in a time when 'men continue to do terrible things to women,' and yet women are poets with magical and persistent powers. '[E]ach night I am remaking something with the thrum of a hundred thousand wings,' she writes. 'I am waiting with a screwdriver behind the wardrobe's mirrored doors... waiting for the bite.' Her blondes turn their dumbness into blunt instruments. Her dead girls pen letters to their murderers: 'You know us writers, turning everything to grist... ' This is a not-to-miss book, even for the jaded. In a time when 'everyone [is] drinking tea and going on and on about art,' Bowen wrestles her tight-edged poems into new startle."--Devon Balwit "Kristy Bowens SEX & VIOLENCE with its attention-getting title delves through body, self, woman, with knife-sharp darkly humorous phrasing and opulent imagery that has become her trademark. Bowen uses a palette of ekphrasis (Salvador Dali's 'Inventions of the Monsters'), allusion to pop tropes and slasher movies, and anaphora (a blonde... ) to deliver her inimitable and startling exposition of love against its backdrop of brutality. She repeats haunting lines, 'I love it like history,' populates her poems with magical images in ironic settings: little blue dog, honey drudgers, a huge camellia. Bowen presents a dichotomy that balances the lustful body and its corporeal yearning with the ethereal, spiritual agape love. 'How I would like to believe in tenderness.' Then: 'I do not know how to write about love without a little bit of pain' she says in 'how to write a love poem in a time of war.' Bowen's latest book of poetry etches itself in the reader at a cellular level."--Cathryn Shea
Download or read book Sex and Violence written by George Stade and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in the form of letters written by Wynn O'Leary to his brother, Joel, who died of a heroin overdose, this is a witty and unabashedly politically incorrect novel. It takes place in an enclosed world with its own cutoms and denizens. The time is the late 1980s. Cultural theory and gender politics reign supreme, smoking is still allowed in the cafetria and, unfortunately for O'Leary, Viagra is but a twinkle in a scientist's eye.
