Download or read book Scenes from the Marriage of Louis XIV written by Abby E. Zanger and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book radically revises our understanding of the construction of symbolic power in the age of absolutism by examining the fictions that emerge from visual, narrative, and ceremonial representations of (and reactions to) the 1660 marriage of Louis XIV to the Spanish infanta. Drawing on semiotics, the history of theater and spectacle, gender studies, and anthropology, the author reconsiders the nature of representation in absolutist political culture. The book is not intended as a history of the marriage. Rather, the author analyzes in detail exemplary moments or scenes from the royal wedding, in particular uncovering the dialectic at the heart of nuptial fictions. Like the kinship exchange out of which they emerge, fictions of marriage manipulate antagonistic forces in the service of promoting the political culture of absolutism. The nuptial fiction portrays a king who though central, is not yet absolute, and who depends on images and representational forms to become visible. His perceived power relies on appendages such as the queen and forms like print, fireworks, and drama. A calculus of addition, this dependence is invisible from within the models previously used to explore the representation of sovereignty, models based on rituals of substitution like the funeral rite. Though the fictions generated during Louis XIVs marriage are not the principal ones of his rule, they do affect the portrait of the king and provide insight into the making of an image scholars too frequently take for granted. Studying nuptial fictions invites us to reexamine clichés about the representation of absolutist power, generalizations that do not fully characterize the less monumental (but equally crucial) periods of Louis XIVs kingship.

Download or read book Fierce Marriage written by Ryan Frederick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

Book excerpt: It’s going to be the wedding of the century… or a complete disaster. Arcadia Shabeaux never imagined she’d be walking down the aisle—especially not in a dress that’s been let out, taken in, and stitched together more times than she can count. But she’s determined to make it work, even if the road to wedded bliss has been paved with cake catastrophes, camo-themed disasters, and one too many bottles of Aunt Mavis’s homemade moonshine punch. With just days to go before she says “I do” to her Strippendale groom, Cyrus, Arcadia finds herself drowning in a sea of wedding mishaps and family antics. From the fight over camo decorations to her ex-boyfriend-turned-friend Armand showing up with a swamp buggy for a bridal ride, it’s a miracle she hasn’t lost her mind—or her dress. And just when she thinks things can’t get any wilder, Aunt Mavis decides to give a Maid of Honor speech that no one will ever forget. But despite all the chaos, there’s love in the air, and Arcadia can’t help but feel that this crazy, mismatched wedding is exactly the kind of happily ever after she was meant for. After all, it wouldn’t be a Shabeaux affair without a little bit of mayhem, a whole lot of love, and some Southern flair to tie it all together. Will Arcadia make it to the altar in one piece? Or will the most unpredictable wedding in Lake Dennis history prove to be too much, even for her? Full of humor, heart, and a touch of Southern charm, A Shabby Wedding is a delightful, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about family, friendship, and finding joy in the messiest of moments.

Download or read book Home Sweat Home written by Elizabeth Patton and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coeditors Elizabeth Patton and Mimi Choi argue that an in-depth examination of media images of housework from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century is long overdue. Modern depictions often imply that certain concerns can be resolved through excessive domesticity, reflecting some of the complicated and unfinished issues of second-wave feminism. Home Sweat Home: Perspectives on Housework and Modern Relationships reveals how widespread the cultural image of “perfect” housewives and the invisibility of household labor were in the past and remain today. In this collection of essays, contributors explore the construction of women as homemakers and the erasure of household labor from the middle-class home in popular representations of housework. They concentrate on such matters as the impact of second-wave feminism on families and gender relations; of popular culture—especially in film, television, magazines, and advertising—on our views of what constitutes home life and gender relations; and of changing views of sexuality and masculinity within the domestic sphere. Home Sweat Home will interest students and scholars of gender, cultural, media, and communication studies; sociology; and American history and appeal to anyone curious about housework, gender relations and popular culture.
