Book Synopsis Conjoined Twins in Black and White by : Linda Frost
Download or read book Conjoined Twins in Black and White written by Linda Frost and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2009-06-10 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conjoined twins have long been a subject of fantasy, fascination, and freak shows. In this first collection of its kind, Millie-Christine McKoy, African American twins born in 1851, and Daisy and Violet Hilton, English twins born in 1908, speak for themselves through memoirs that help us understand what it is like to live physically joined to someone else. Conjoined Twins in Black and White provides contemporary readers with the twins’ autobiographies, the first two “show histories” to be republished since their original appearance, a previously unpublished novella, and a nineteenth-century medical examination, each of which attempts to define these women and reveal the issues of race, gender, and the body prompted by the twins themselves. The McKoys, born slaves, were kidnapped and taken to Britain, where they worked as entertainers until they were reunited with their mother in an emotional chance encounter. The Hiltons, cast away by their horrified mother at birth, worked the carnival circuit as vaudeville performers until the WWII economy forced them to the burlesque stage. The hardships, along with the triumphs, experienced by these very different sister sets lend insight into our fascination with conjoined twins.

Book Synopsis The Spectacle of Twins in American Literature and Popular Culture by : Karen Dillon
Download or read book The Spectacle of Twins in American Literature and Popular Culture written by Karen Dillon and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural fantasy of twins imagines them as physically and behaviorally identical. Media portrayals consistently offer the spectacle of twins who share an insular closeness and perform a supposed alikeness—standing side by side, speaking and acting in unison. Treating twinship as a cultural phenomenon, this first comprehensive study of twins in American literature and popular culture examines the historical narrative—within the discourses of experimentation, aberrance and eugenics—and how it has shaped their representations in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Download or read book Exploring Twins written by E. Stewart and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Twins presents an analysis of twinship considered as a specifically social phenomenon. Drawing upon a wide range of interdisciplinary, historical and cross-cultural data, Dr Stewart argues that in both traditional and modern societies, twinship represents a recurrent anomaly which calls into question the assumptions around which different types of society are organized. Part One identifies and analyses the fascinating range of cultural and disciplinary approaches to the interpretation of twinship, while Part Two considers the possibilities for a distinctively social analysis of twinship.

As soon as Soliday, a kindhearted, hardworking, and generous youth hears about the princess's sacrifice, he vows to kill the Bird of Darkness and save Marie. His identical twin brother -- the jealous, lazy, and dishonest Salacotta -- accompanies Soliday on the dangerous journey, but doesn't lift a finger in order to rescue the princess or slay the monstrous bird. And the second Salacotta sees his chance to claim that he was the one who freed the princess, he does just that. Will Soliday be able to convince everyone that he is indeed who he says? Will his brother admit his treachery? Will Soliday ever be able to trust his twin again? This timeless and resonant folktale about the forces of good and evil and the redemptive power of brotherly love is the perfect story for the ages.
Book Synopsis I Close My Eyes in the Dark by : Denver E. Long BFA MA DPAKR
Download or read book I Close My Eyes in the Dark written by Denver E. Long BFA MA DPAKR and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-02-02 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Close My Eyes in the Dark is a collection of eclectic short stories, memories, one poem and other life thoughts. They are all about looking for the positive in every life situation. When we look, humor often presents itself. Each short story is a life experience that in some situations are dire. But a change in attitude changes everything and permits one to see the ‘up’ side of life. Sometimes the insight and awakening will seem absurd, sometimes profound. I’ve heard it said that one’s life is what one’s thoughts make it. I agreed and therefore live with the vision and if there is so much negative in life and in our experiences, then there must be an equal amount of positive. One cannot exist without the other. It is the heart that matters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endor’s fate rests in their hands … And it’s game on for Esther “Ez” Summers and her brother-in-arms, Austrello, as they travel back to the dimension of their birth to put to rest a threat that could destroy the beautiful, peaceful Endor. They know their enemy. They have a plan. Yet the more they know, the less certain they are about the outcome. Tutulies everywhere. Mass genocide by the ruler, who just happens to be Ez’s female parent. And it doesn’t help that Alan, Ez’s human lover, slipped into the dimension of Endor, even though he was told not to. He only complicates things. But with a ready-made army, an alliance with their biggest enemies to help solidify the possibility of their success, and a coven of witches, they just might succeed. Ez wants to save her fellow Endorians and go back to Earth to become human. Austrello wants the same thing. They’ve got the biggest motivation anyone could have—love. And they’ve got a riddle to solve. Bound Together, the fourth and final book in the Witch of Endor series, takes us to the dimension of Endor, to friends old and new, and to a climactic ending that might leave Ez without the one thing she wants—a life with Alan as a human. It’s a series unlike any before full of interdimensional travel, deceit, infinite power, and love.

Book Synopsis The Evil Twins of American Television by : Kristi Rowan Humphreys
Download or read book The Evil Twins of American Television written by Kristi Rowan Humphreys and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Evil Twins of American Television examines evil-twin depictions in over fifty years of television, comparing male twins to female twins and male-writer depictions to female-writer depictions. Kristi Rowan Humphreys evaluates The Patty Duke Show, Bewitched, Gilligan’s Island, I Dream of Jeannie, and The Brady Bunch, among other television programs that use the twinning trope to explore themes of feminism and identity. Employing traits identified by Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique as belonging to the “evil” side of her “schizophrenic split” theory, Humphreys analyzes the ways in which these alter ego characters embody the desire for a separate self and independence through loose inhibitions, career interests, political interests, intellectual prowess, and assertiveness. This book then compares female-written twin episodes to male-written twin episodes, finding that when “evil twin” episodes are written by women writers, the twins are presented less as oppositional binaries and more as compatible, often symbiotic binaries. Thus, the women writers of these shows offer a compelling response to Friedan’s text, one that acknowledges and underscores the many complexities of women—the image of which cannot in reality be so easily split into two oppositional binaries. Humphreys then connects 1960s depictions to more current evil-twin examples, including those in Friends, Knight Rider, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
