Book Synopsis Venus in the Dark by : Janell Hobson
Download or read book Venus in the Dark written by Janell Hobson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western culture has long been fascinated by black women, but a history of enslavement and colonial conquest has variously labeled black women's bodies as "exotic" and "grotesque." In this remarkable cultural history of black female beauty, Janell Hobson explores the enduring figure of the "Hottentot Venus." In 1810, Saartjie Baartman was taken from South Africa to Europe, where she was put on display at circuses, salons, and museums and universities as the "Hottentot Venus." The subsequent legacy of representations of black women's sexuality-from Josephine Baker to Serena Williams to hip-hop and dancehall videos-continues to refer back to this persistent icon. This book analyzes the history of critical and artistic responses to this iconography by black women in contemporary photography, film, literature, music, and dance.

Book Synopsis Black Venus by : T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting
Download or read book Black Venus written by T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1999-05-19 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Venus is a feminist study of the representations of black women in the literary, cultural, and scientific imagination of nineteenth-century France. Employing psychoanalysis, feminist film theory, and the critical race theory articulated in the works of Frantz Fanon and Toni Morrison, T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting argues that black women historically invoked both desire and primal fear in French men. By inspiring repulsion, attraction, and anxiety, they gave rise in the nineteenth-century French male imagination to the primitive narrative of Black Venus. The book opens with an exploration of scientific discourse on black females, using Sarah Bartmann, the so-called Hottentot Venus, and natural scientist Georges Cuvier as points of departure. To further show how the image of a savage was projected onto the bodies of black women, Sharpley-Whiting moves into popular culture with an analysis of an 1814 vaudeville caricature of Bartmann, then shifts onto the terrain of canonical French literature and colonial cinema, exploring the representation of black women by Baudelaire, Balzac, Zola, Maupassant, and Loti. After venturing into twentieth-century film with an analysis of Josephine Baker’s popular Princesse Tam Tam, the study concludes with a discussion of how black Francophone women writers and activists countered stereotypical representations of black female bodies during this period. A first-time translation of the vaudeville show The Hottentot Venus, or Hatred of Frenchwomen supplements this critique of the French male gaze of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Both intellectually rigorous and culturally intriguing, this study will appeal to students and scholars in the fields of nineteenth- and twentieth-century French literature, feminist and gender studies, black studies, and cultural studies.

Book excerpt: Throughout my life, I was extremely fortunate to have met many of the good people that G-d placed on this earth and avoided most of the folks that he should take back and reprogram. For those persons that I came to respect and love they will always be referred to by their real names. To the best of my knowledge, not one of them has an outstanding warrant or owes me money so I have no reason not to include them in my story. Persons for whom I only use initials are very few and are only mentioned in reference to a humorous incident. Besides, Kim Young, master counselor and part of our family, insists that no one needs to mention a negative about someone as it is probably already common knowledge.
Book Synopsis Rysqo, the Black Dragon by : Ryan Clark
Download or read book Rysqo, the Black Dragon written by Ryan Clark and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2005-07-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much would you sacrifice for love? That's the question one man is forced to answer as the sins of men eons earlier start to take their toll on all of existence and the fate of life is to be judged by the heart and compassion of man. There was a mistake made long ago. A mistake that is too late to change or take back, and if fate was to take its course, oblivious to consequence or morality, this mistake, would bring about what all cultures commonly fear...the end of the world, a cease to all living existence throughout the galaxy; the apocalypse. Now, in a world where love is scarce and hate runs wild, one man is sent on an incredible journey to answer the question; how much would you sacrifice for love? Rysqo, the Black Dragon not only stimulates your imagination, but it challenges your sense of reality. RBD has been described as the ultimate love story, one in which sacrifice of life and love are equally valued. A decision does need to be made though; one man's love, or the continuance of existence?

Book Synopsis The Serpent and the Lamb by : Steven Ozment
Download or read book The Serpent and the Lamb written by Steven Ozment and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling book retells and revises the story of the German Renaissance and Reformation through the lives of two controversial men of the sixteenth century: the Saxon court painter Lucas Cranach (the Serpent) and the Wittenberg monk-turned-reformer Martin Luther (the Lamb). Contemporaries and friends (each was godfather to the other's children), Cranach and Luther were very different Germans, yet their collaborative successes merged art and religion into a revolutionary force that became the Protestant Reformation. Steven Ozment, an internationally recognized historian of the Reformation era, reprises the lives and works of Cranach (1472-1553) and Luther (1483-1546) in this generously illustrated book. He contends that Cranach's new art and Luther's oratory released a barrage of criticism upon the Vatican, the force of which secured a new freedom of faith and pluralism of religion in the Western world. Between Luther's pulpit praise of the sex drive within the divine estate of marriage and Cranach's parade of strong, lithe women, a new romantic, familial consciousness was born. The "Cranach woman" and the "Lutheran household"--both products of the merged Renaissance and Reformation worlds--evoked a new organization of society and foretold a new direction for Germany.

Book Synopsis The Astrological World of Jung’s 'Liber Novus' by : Liz Greene
Download or read book The Astrological World of Jung’s 'Liber Novus' written by Liz Greene and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. G. Jung’s The Red Book: Liber Novus, published posthumously in 2009, explores Jung’s own journey from an inner state of alienation and depression to the restoration of his soul, as well as offering a prophetic narrative of the collective human psyche as it journeys from unconsciousness to a greater awareness of its own inner dichotomy of good and evil. Jung utilised astrological symbols throughout to help him comprehend the personal as well as universal meanings of his visions. In The Astrological World of Jung’s Liber Novus, Liz Greene explores the planetary journey Jung portrayed in this remarkable work and investigates the ways in which he used astrological images and themes as an interpretive lens to help him understand the nature of his visions and the deeper psychological meaning behind them. Greene’s analysis includes a number of mythic and archetypal elements, including the stories of Salome, Siegfried and Elijah, and demonstrates that astrology, as Jung understood and worked with it, is unquestionably one of the most important foundation stones of analytical psychology, and an essential part of understanding his legacy. This unique study will appeal to analytical psychologists and Jungian psychotherapists, students and academics of Jungian and post-Jungian theory, the history of psychology, archetypal thought, mythology and folklore, the history of New Age movements, esotericism and psychological astrology.
