This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] hilarious and disturbing new comedy about all-American violence” and other whip-smart political satires by the Tony Award-winning playwright (Ben Branley, The New York Times). Christopher Durang, who The New York Observer called “Jonathan Swift’s nicer, younger brother,” became one of America’s most beloved and acclaimed playwrights by marrying gonzo farce with incisive social critique. Now collected in Why Torture Is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them and Other Political Plays are Durang’s most revealing satirical plays. Why Torture Is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them is the story of a young woman in crisis: Is her new husband, whom she married when drunk, a terrorist? Or just crazy? Or both? Is her father’s hobby of butterfly collecting really a cover for his involvement in a shadow government? Does her mother frequent the theater for mental escape, or is she just insane? Add in a minister who directs porno, and a ladylike operative whose underwear just won’t stay up, and this black comedy will make us laugh all the way to the waterboarding room. Also included in this volume are: Excerpts from Sex and Longing Cardinal O’Connor The Book of Leviticus Show Entertaining Mr. Helms The Doctor Will See You Now Under Duress: Words on Fire An Alter Boy Talks to God The Hardy Boys and the Mystery of Where Babies Come From

I thought I would be able to live my life working right next to the woman and never give in to her love. Everything was working for me for a long time, until he came along. Why did he have to join my club? Why did he set his sights on the only woman who has freely given her heart to me, even if I just played with it, instead of cherishing it the way I should have? If I'd only known the Halloween Ball would be how it all ends, I might have done things differently...

Book excerpt: Tortured Love follows the meandering life of one individual and his bizarre effect on a handful of people. The reader will acknowledge the ever changing pattern of the world and how a personal influence can incite everything from suicide and murder to love and romance. There will be a tidal wave of emotions from happiness to disgust as violence; retribution, regret and happiness are explored with a veritable force. This unique journey will be enlivening and disheartening in equal measures, concentrating on a colourful array of characters from psychopaths to poets and their parallel coexistence. Tortured Love is not for the faint of heart but then neither is life itself. I will torture love and kill your infatuation. I will snatch your prize and conjure its demise, This is my future, this is my destination. There will be pain but you will cherish the gain. For the love you crave, you will eternally be my slave.

Book excerpt: This book of poetry will take you on the heart's journey of dealing with a deceptive relationship. From falling madly in love, to being alone in shambles of self-hate and unworthiness, this book will rip down your emotional barricades and have you admitting true feelings that have been shoved to the bottom. Each poem explores particular feelings; from giddy admiration to self-sabotaging desire, with great use of powerful sensory, and vivid metaphors. The metaphors are masterfully written with the intention to be read steadily to absorb and interpret its meaning wholly. Each word has been carefully selected to knit the author's raw truth to the poems. The imagery is very confronting; the truth is oppressive. As you read over again, and again, more achingly wretched surprises will unclothe. Emily Bock is the writer behind the blog Hippie Thinking. This is her first book of poetry.

Book excerpt: “Since you like to scream so much, we are going to nip that in the bud of anyone hearing you.” She said, as she made sure the straps behind my head were tightened. Erica then stood up on the bed and positioned herself over my chest. She put her pointy toe of her stiletto heels to my face. I could see the shininess of the stiletto as the light reflected off it. “See how pointy and shiny my stilettos are? I just polished them today just for you, my darling.” She said as she had that wicked grin on her face once again. The one that scared the hell out of me. She took her pointy toe and dragged it across my chest, over my stomach and between my legs, then she pulled her leg back and swung her pointy toe forward, kicking me right smack in the middle of my private area! “Arghghg!” I gurgled through the ball gag.I had now lost complete control of my body as I felt it giving out at the impact of her pointy toe landing on me. The pain shot up through me to my abdomen and then throughout my entire body. I tried to curl up, but the restraints forbid me from doing so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Torture and the Twilight of Empire looks at the intimate relationship between torture and colonial domination through a close examination of the French army's coercive tactics during the Algerian war from 1954 to 1962. By tracing the psychological, cultural, and political meanings of torture at the end of the French empire, Marnia Lazreg also sheds new light on the United States and its recourse to torture in Iraq and Afghanistan. This book is nothing less than an anatomy of torture--its methods, justifications, functions, and consequences. Drawing extensively from archives, confessions by former torturers, interviews with former soldiers, and war diaries, as well as writings by Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and others, Lazreg argues that occupying nations justify their systematic use of torture as a regrettable but necessary means of saving Western civilization from those who challenge their rule. She shows how torture was central to guerre révolutionnaire, a French theory of modern warfare that called for total war against the subject population and which informed a pacification strategy founded on brutal psychological techniques borrowed from totalitarian movements. Lazreg seeks to understand torture's impact on the Algerian population--especially women--and also on the French troops who became their torturers. She explores the roles Christianity and Islam played in rationalizing these acts, and the ways in which torture became not only routine but even acceptable. Written by a preeminent historical sociologist, Torture and the Twilight of Empire holds particularly disturbing lessons for us today as we carry out the War on Terror.

Book excerpt: Some people have their opinions on mental illness. Others take liberties in judgement against a person because of who they are; who they love; who they admire; how they live their life...Fine. But when these nay-sayers invade your personal space telling you not to do this, not do that - You can't love this one or that one...It's time to rid yourself of the clutter! Go forward along your own path and make those dreams come true... This work is an example of how one life was so congested with the clutter of negative influence, abuse, and personal hell, that nearly half of it had been wasted just trying to keep from going insane! Innocence distorted and kidnapped; hopeful endeavors attempted, went up in flames; delicate dreams coming to life, slaughtered by cruel family members and nasty people... It is my life spoken of here. These are my trials. These are my tribulations...Overwhelming obstacles faced, and with courage, overcome! Good and bad situations experienced, in gladness and sadness. Heartaches suffered in confusion and frustration. Love betrayed. Trust abused. Beliefs twisted and distorted. Hope lost. Self-Esteem lain low... People whom I have trusted and loved behaved in these awful ways to me. In my depression, I didn't have the strength to defend myself; I was fearful and filled with anxiety, but they never cared! Not enough to stop what they were doing to me. Emotional and psychological abuse is the worst torture a person can go through because it leaves scars that don't heal - Nobody sees them, but they're there... I don't know how many years I have left, but I want to enjoy them! I have spent too many living in a lion's den, or zoo, in comparison to these negligent people. Don't cave to the negative influences of other people. Live the best life that you can, in the way and fashion that feels right, to you!

This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can torture be justified in exceptional circumstances? In this timely work, Michelle Farrell asks how and why this question has become such a central debate. She argues that the ticking bomb scenario is a fiction which blinds us to the reality of torture and investigates what it is that that scenario fails to represent. Farrell aims to reframe how we think about torture, and critically reflects on the historical and contemporary approaches to its use in exceptional situations. She demonstrates how torture, from its use in Algeria to the 'War on Terror', has been misrepresented, and appraises the legalist, extra-legalist and absolutist assessments of exception to the torture prohibition. Employing Giorgio Agamben's theory of the state of exception as a foil, Farrell deconstructs these approaches and goes on to propose her own theory of exceptional torture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before 9/11, films addressing torture outside of the horror/slasher genre depicted the practice in a variety of forms. In most cases, torture was cast as the act of a desperate and depraved individual, and the viewer was more likely to identify with the victim rather than the torturer. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, scenes of brutality and torture in mainstream comedies, dramatic narratives, and action films appear for little other reason than to titillate and delight. In these films, torture is devoid of any redeeming qualities, represented as an exercise in brutal senselessness carried out by authoritarian regimes and institutions. This volume follows the shift in the representation of torture over the past decade, specifically in documentary, action, and political films. It traces and compares the development of this trend in films from the United States, Europe, China, Latin America, South Africa, and the Middle East. Featuring essays by sociologists, psychologists, historians, journalists, and specialists in film and cultural studies, the collection approaches the representation of torture in film and television from multiple angles and disciplines, connecting its aesthetics and practices to the dynamic of state terror and political domination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite Victor Hugo's 19th-century proclamation that torture no longer exists, we still find it even now, even in those nations that claim to be paradigms of civility. Why is it that torture still exists in a world where it is routinely regarded as immoral? Is it possible to eliminate torture, and if so, how? What exactly does it mean to call something 'torture', and is it always morally reprehensible? Arguments in favour of torture abound, but in this important new book, J. Jeremy Wisnewski examines and explains the moral dimensions of this perennial practice, paying careful attention to what lessons torture can teach us about our own moral psychology. By systematically exposing the weaknesses of the dominant arguments for torture, drawing on resources in both analytic and continental philosophy and relevant empirical literature in psychology, Wisnewski aims to provide an over-arching account of torture: what it is, why it's wrong, and why even the most civilized people can nevertheless engage in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political Torture in Popular Culture argues that the literary, filmic, and popular cultural representation of political torture has been one of the defining dimensions of the torture debate that has taken place in the course of the post-9/11 global war on terrorism. The book argues that cultural representations provide a vital arena in which political meaning is generated, negotiated, and contested. Adams explores whether liberal democracies can ever legitimately perpetrate torture, contrasting assertions that torture can function as a legitimate counterterrorism measure with human rights-based arguments that torture is never morally permissible. He examines the philosophical foundations of pro- and anti-torture positions, looking at their manifestations in a range of literary, filmic and popular cultural texts, and assesses the material effects of these representations. Literary novels, televisual texts, films, and critical theoretical discourse are all covered, focusing on the ways that aesthetic and textual strategies are mobilised to create specific political effects. This book is the first sustained analysis of the torture debate and the role that cultural narratives and representations play within it. It will be of great use to scholars interested in the emerging canon of post-9/11 cultural texts about torture, as well as scholars and students working in politics, history, geography, human rights, international relations, and terrorism studies, literary studies, cultural studies, and film studies.

Book excerpt: The question of when, and under what circumstances, the practice of torture might be justified has received a great deal of attention in the last decade in both academia and in the popular media. Many of these discussions are, however, one-sided with other perspectives either ignored or quickly dismissed with minimal argument. In On the Ethics of Torture, Uwe Steinhoff provides a complete account of the philosophical debate surrounding this highly contentious subject. Steinhoff s position is that torture is sometimes, under certain narrowly circumscribed conditions, justified, basing his argument on the right to self-defense. His position differs from that of other authors who, using other philosophical justifications, would permit torture under a wider set of conditions. After having given the reader a thorough account of the main arguments for permitting torture under certain circumstances, Steinhoff explains and addresses the many objections that have been raised to employing torture under any circumstances. This is an indispensible work for anyone interested in one of the most controversial subjects of our times.

Book excerpt: This book demonstrates a new, interdisciplinary approach to life writing about torture that situates torture firmly within its socio-political context, as opposed to extending the long line of representations written in the idiom of the proverbial dark chamber. By dismantling the rhetorical divide that typically separates survivors’ suffering from human rights workers’ expertise, contributors engage with the personal, professional, and institutional dimensions of torture and redress. Essays in this volume consider torture from diverse locations – the Philippines, Argentina, Sudan, and Guantánamo, among others. From across the globe, contributors witness both individual pain and institutional complicity; the challenges of building communities of healing across linguistic and national divides; and the role of the law, art, writing, and teaching in representing and responding to torture.
