Book excerpt: It's not easy being a siren. Especially when you have unique powers and an unknown person who wants you dead. For Calliope, opening night at Tartarus was supposed to be an opportunity for everyone to hear the siren sing. However, the night quickly takes a turn for the worse after she discovers that she has magical abilities within her, which sirens shouldn’t be able to have… But when her ex-boyfriend arrives and abducts her, the discovery that someone wants her dead becomes obvious. She pours her raw emotions out, her words evoking the half-demon’s own hidden emotions, and within a week, the Prince of Hell is traveling with her and her two friends to New Orleans to hide while they search for answers. Will the siren be able to stop the person trying to kill her? Will she and Asmodeus find renewed love in their reconciliation? …Or is it all for nothing?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After identifying the misconceptions attached to the figure of the Mughal Courtesan and then defining it in terms of the dual-component structure of adaa, in the face of a dearth of literature that exists on the culture and the agency of the courtesan, this analysis would reinterpret the status of the courtesan figure within the domain of feminist theories and self-assertion. The female desire for autonomy, according to Elaine Showalter, defines a female exclusivity in terms of the dynamic phase, which is a combination of the feminine conflict between self-fulfillment and duty, the feminist political consciousness, and the female desire for autonomy. If one operates the courtesan figure in the Showalter domain, then the means to resist gender hierarchies through literary practices lie in a combination of both demand for exclusivity and real struggle into a truly subversive aesthetic which would have allowed the courtesan to have walked the corridors of power. Juliet Mitchells argument states that the gendered treatment of women came into existence through the ideological form of the novel, with females constructing themselves as the women they are under bourgeois norms by reading and writing novels. Rereading the Silencing of the Sirens would uncover another such exclusive female tradition studying the female consciousness from the courtesans point of view.

Download or read book Sirens written by Michael Bull and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sirens are sounds that confront us in daily life, from the sounds of police cars and fire engines to, less often, tornado warnings. Ideologies of sirens embody the protective, the seductive and the dangerous elements of siren sounds – from the US Cold War public training exercises in the 1950s and 1960s to the seductive power of the sirens entrenched in popular culture: from Wagner to Dizzee Rascal, from Kafka to Kurt Vonnegut, from Hans Christian Andersen to Walt Disney. This book argues, using a wide array of theorists from Adorno to Bloch and Kittler, that we should understand 'siren sounds' in terms of their myth and materiality, and that sirens represent a sonic confluence of power, gender and destructiveness embedded in core Western ideologies to the present day. Bull poses the question of whether we can rely on sirens, both in their mythic meanings and in their material meanings in contemporary culture.
Download or read book Silencing the Sirens written by John Christian Sievers and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sirens' place within the reason/passion antithesis has been the subject of several important scholarly inquiries about Early Modern English literature. While scholars have considered how early modern authors used sirens to explore the dangers of poetic expression, they have largely ignored the siren's place within the era's ideas about the New World. This study argues that the New World context for sirens creates unexpected resonances within the works of early modern authors who explore the siren songs' criticism of sensual pleasure within their works. This project expands the understanding of sirens in early modern English texts by suggesting that they often reveal the poet's uncertainty about the sensual and passionate nature of poetry, and that they also frequently include a connection with England's imperial expansion in the Americas. In particular, this study focuses on close readings of three authors: Edmund Spenser, Samuel Daniel, and William Shakespeare.
