Download or read book Three Strong Women written by Marie NDiaye and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new novel, the first by a black woman ever to win the coveted Prix Goncourt, Marie NDiaye creates a luminous narrative triptych as harrowing as it is beautiful. This is the story of three women who say no: Norah, a French-born lawyer who finds herself in Senegal, summoned by her estranged, tyrannical father to save another victim of his paternity; Fanta, who leaves a modest but contented life as a teacher in Dakar to follow her white boyfriend back to France, where his delusional depression and sense of failure poison everything; and Khady, a penniless widow put out by her husband’s family with nothing but the name of a distant cousin (the aforementioned Fanta) who lives in France, a place Khady can scarcely conceive of but toward which she must now take desperate flight. With lyrical intensity, Marie NDiaye masterfully evokes the relentless denial of dignity, to say nothing of happiness, in these lives caught between Africa and Europe. We see with stunning emotional exactitude how ordinary women discover unimagined reserves of strength, even as their humanity is chipped away. Three Strong Women admits us to an immigrant experience rarely if ever examined in fiction, but even more into the depths of the suffering heart.

Book excerpt: Who are the companions of important contemporary artists? The art collector Anna Lenz explores this question in 20 conversations, providing insights not only into a wide variety of women s biographies, but also into ways of living with an artist. Since the 1960s Anna Lenz and her husband have built a magnificent collection of the art of the Epoche ZERO. For this book she has travelled across Europe together with the photographer Roswitha Pross and the art historian Ulrike Schmitt to conduct interviews and ask the partners and wives of artists about their lives. These women, some of whom are themselves artists, speak with great openness about their families, their childhood dreams, their own professional trajectories, about prevailing circumstances and life plans, and also about the often overwhelming first meetings and their relationships with their men. This kaleidoscope of reports about their lives constitutes a chapter in the history of art, and a piece of contemporary history."

Download or read book Performing Arousal written by Julia Listengarten and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers arousal as a mode of theoretical and artistic inquiry to encourage new ways of staging and examining bodies in performance across artistic disciplines, modern history, and cultural contexts. Looking at traditional drama and theatre, but also visual arts, performance activism, and arts-based community engagement, this collection draws on the complicated relationship between arousing images and the frames of their representability to address what constitutes arousal in a variety of connotations. It examines arousal as a project of social, scientific, cultural, and artistic experimentation, and discusses how our perception of arousal has transformed over the last century. Probing “what arouses” in relation to the ethics of representation, the book investigates the connections between arousal and pleasures of voyeurism, underscores the political impact of aroused bodies, and explores how arousal can turn the body into a mediated object.

Download or read book The Art of A Woman written by K. S. Mateen and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of A Woman is more than just your average, ordinary, typical book on "How To". The Author based his findings on years of research which is relevant to his own personal experiences, as well as the examples that have been displayed & portrayed by society as a whole. After questioning numerous individuals, both men and women, it was clear that both sides were looking for a solution to the ongoing problem of, "too many women & not enough men". For men between the ages of 21-45, it would be conducive for them to, at some point in their life, read this manual. It would allow them to make better use of their intellect when it comes to relating to & socializing with women. The more open-minded one is, the better. This book is definitely not for the nay sayers. We, as men in this day & age can no longer view women in the same light as if we were living in the 60-90's. Its a new millennium, & with it we must be new men. With time there comes change as we know it, but for some inexplicable reason, we (men) are set in our pattern of thinking in reference to women in general from a relationship standpoint. Its serious, its funny, yet straight to the point. Throughout this manual, one may find a section or two, that sticks out & allows the reader to see himself for the very first time. This is not a book that will give you, the reader, an angle for trying to pick up women with slick talk & sly ways. For the most part, its the medicine for whats been ailing men for far too long... The sickness of not being able to commit. After reading this manual, your questions will be answered, and all solutions to your problems with women will be provided via the knowledge of finally knowing. As suggested, this is a reading that both men & women should take full advantage of. The Art of A Woman... Read it... Commit its contents to memory & practice it.

Download or read book Entering the Picture written by Jill Fields and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-02-27 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1970, Judy Chicago and fifteen students founded the groundbreaking Feminist Art Program (FAP) at Fresno State. Drawing upon the consciousness-raising techniques of the women's liberation movement, they created shocking new art forms depicting female experiences. Collaborative work and performance art – including the famous "Cunt Cheerleaders" – were program hallmarks. Moving to Los Angeles, the FAP produced the first major feminist art installation, Womanhouse (1972). Augmented by thirty-seven illustrations and color plates, this interdisciplinary collection of essays by artists and scholars, many of whom were eye witnesses to landmark events, relates how feminists produced vibrant bodies of art in Fresno and other locales where similar collaborations flourished. Articles on topics such as African American artists in New York and Los Angeles, San Francisco’s Las Mujeres Muralistas and Asian American Women Artists Association, and exhibitions in Taiwan and Italy showcase the artistic trajectories that destabilized traditional theories and practices and reshaped the art world. An engaging editor’s introduction explains how feminist art emerged within the powerful women’s movement that transformed America. Entering the Picture is an exciting collection about the provocative contributions of feminists to American art.
