Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the carnival in Seville, the Frenchman Andr� St�venol meets and falls under the spell of Conception 'Concita' Perez, a young Andalusian woman. His friend, don Mateo Diaz warns him off by describing his own history with the woman - a history of being repeatedly attracted and then rebuffed by her. Conchita continually flirted with other men to torture don Mateo. On each occasion he was made to feel guilty for his jealous thoughts and actions towards her, until he realised finally that he had been her puppet for fourteen months and in an explosion of passion he beat her. She then astonished him by declaring the violence a sign of the strength of his love and came to his bed. She was a virgin. Although the two then started living together, she continued her flirtatious behaviour towards other men and simultaneously became very possessive. Don Mateo left the country and travelled for a year to escape her.This is a fantastic novel which exposes and analyzes the contradictions in romantic feelings and the self-defeating psychology and twisted logic of love. Its setting is perfect for its theme: Carnival, Seville, Spain, 1896. Its characters, aristocratic libertines who live for their dalliances. When Don Mateo learns that his friend Andre Stevenol has arranged to meet Concepcion 'Conchita' Perez he tells him the story of his impassioned, disastrous, erotic, and obsessive pursuit of her which unfolded over months as she alternately promised herself to him then frustratingly withheld her affections, over and over again, insisting on his framing his requests just so, then abruptly and coldly turning her back to him. It is a short novel but one which expounds the internal conflicts and inconsistencies of the human heart in a way that only the richest most well-crafted artistic works can. In Conchita Pierre Louys has created a sexily inscrutable seductress who may just be an honest woman. Her willfulness and cupidity makes her so much more desirable than anyone Don Mateo has ever met before. And he is the aging, lecherous, bon vivant whose romantic philosophy crashes up against the will of a woman whose mystery and allure is more powerful than anything else he has ever encountered. There's a beautiful little grace note of an epilogue which is perfectly in keeping with the fable-like narration of this story. It adds yet another delicious irony onto this bonbon of a psycho-sexual continental soap opera about the decadent and their desires.

Download or read book Women and Puppetry written by Alissa Mello and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and Puppetry is the first publication dedicated to the study of women in the field of puppetry arts. It includes critical articles and personal accounts that interrogate specific historical moments, cultural contexts, and notions of "woman" on and off stage. Part I, "Critical Perspective," includes historical and contemporary analyses of women’s roles in society, gender anxiety revealed through the unmarked puppet body, and sexual expression within oppressive social contexts. Part II, "Local Contexts: Challenges and Transformations," investigates work of female practitioners within specific cultural contexts to illuminate how women are intervening in traditionally male spaces. Each chapter in Part II offers brief accounts of specific social histories, barriers, and gender biases that women have faced, and the opportunities afforded female creative leaders to appropriate, revive, and transform performance traditions. And in Part III, "Women Practitioners Speak," contemporary artists reflect on their experiences as female practitioners within the art of puppet theatre. Representing female writers and practitioners from across the globe, Women and Puppetry offers students and scholars a comprehensive interrogation of the challenges and opportunities that women face in this unique art form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphrodite is an 1896 French-language novel by Pierre Louÿs. Set in Alexandria, the novel tells the story of Chrysis, a courtesan, and the sculptor Démétrios. A Galilaean with long golden hair (source of her Greek nickname), Chrysis is proud of her beauty and her skill at winning the devotion and servility of men. Démétrios, for his part, is worshiped by the women of the town, but has grown tired of their devotion. He has come to prefer his statue of the goddess Aphrodite even to his lover, Queen Bérénice, who posed for it. Chrysis is the only woman who does not care for him.
