It reflects the pendulous swing of morals and ethics, gender and racial advances, radical religious thinking, inspired silliness and profound creativity that shaped her life, leaving permanent yet invisible scars.

Download or read book The Symposium written by Xenophon and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Symposium', Socrates and his companions attend a lively dinner party hosted by Kallias, where entertainment is provided by skilled performers. The guests engage in playful and paradoxical discussions about what they are most proud of, including Socrates' knowledge of match-making. Written by Xenophon in the late 360s B.C., the work explores themes of beauty and desire, wisdom, virtue, and laughter through a clever use of playfulness and seriousness appropriate to a symposium. Despite disputed claims of Xenophon's presence at the event, 'The Symposium' remains a fascinating and insightful window into ancient Greek aristocratic culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buncha white guys mostly sit around talkin' and abusin' their cortexes in Josh Muggins' droll, genial rumination of the year he merrily failed his way out of a Minnesota college. Muggins restores to mindless male debauchery all the joy that more reflective memoirists have stripped from it, and in the process concocts a timeless, fizzy valentine to squandering one's youth on drugs and alcohol and unattainable women, and not regretting a minute of it. "A breathtaking feat of narcissism. It was crass, juvenile slugs like Muggins who put the me in the Me Decade." joshmuggins.com
Download or read book The Revival of Banned Dances written by Reneé Critcher Lyons and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, humans have used dance as a benefit for mind, body, and soul. In some cases, governments or churches have banned certain dances for a variety of reasons. This work provides an exploration of dances banned around the world, then revived by a handful of brave proponents. The sixteen case studies--ranging from Argentina's Tango and Cambodia's Royal Classical Ballet to Brazil's Samba and Ireland's Step Dance--reveal the meaning of the dance to each culture and the importance of the art form to the creation of healthy sociological and political climates. Chapters detail each dance's origins, technical steps and movements, costumes, music, and political history, providing an informative overview of the oppression of dance culture through history.

These works include Xenophon's Apology, Memorabilia, Symposium, and Economist. The Symposium outlines the character of Socrates as he and his companions discuss what attribute they take pride in. In Economist, Socrates explains how to manage a household. Both the Apology and Memorabilia defend Socrates' character and teachings.

Download or read book Fools Are Everywhere written by Beatrice K. Otto and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively work, Beatrice K. Otto takes us on a journey around the world in search of one of the most colorful characters in history—the court jester. Though not always clad in cap and bells, these witty, quirky characters crop up everywhere, from the courts of ancient China and the Mogul emperors of India to those of medieval Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. With a wealth of anecdotes, jokes, quotations, epigraphs, and illustrations (including flip art), Otto brings to light little-known jesters, highlighting their humanizing influence on people with power and position and placing otherwise remote historical figures in a more idiosyncratic, intimate light. Most of the work on the court jester has concentrated on Europe; Otto draws on previously untranslated classical Chinese writings and other sources to correct this bias and also looks at jesters in literature, mythology, and drama. Written with wit and humor, Fools Are Everywhere is the most comprehensive look at these roguish characters who risked their necks not only to mock and entertain but also to fulfill a deep and widespread human and social need.
