Download or read book Dangerous Fictions written by Lyta Gold and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2024-10-29 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a political moment when social panics over literature are at their peak, Dangerous Fictions is a mind-expanding treatise on the nature of fictional stories as cultural battlegrounds for power. Fictional stories have long held an uncanny power over hearts and minds, especially those of young people. In Dangerous Fictions, Lyta Gold traces arguments both historical and contemporary that have labeled fiction as dark, immoral, frightening, or poisonous. Within each she asks: How “dangerous” is fiction, really? And what about it provokes waves of moral panic and even censorship? Gold argues that any panic about art is largely a disguised panic about power. There have been versions of these same fights over fiction for centuries. By exposing fiction as a social danger and a battleground of immediate public concern, we can see what each side really wants—the right to shape the future of a world deeply in flux and a distraction from more pressing material concerns about money, access, and the hard work of politics. From novels about people driven insane by reading novels to “copaganda” TV shows that influence how viewers regard the police, Gold uses her signature wit, research, and fearless commentary to point readers toward a more substantial question: Fiction may be dangerous to us, but aren’t we also dangerous to it?

Book Synopsis Aesthetic Sexuality by : Romana Byrne
Download or read book Aesthetic Sexuality written by Romana Byrne and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-11-28 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand why the concept of aesthetic sexuality is important, we must consider the influence of the first volume of Foucault's seminal The History of Sexuality. Arguing against Foucault's assertions that only scientia sexualis has operated in modern Western culture while ars erotica belongs to Eastern and ancient societies, Byrne suggests that modern Western culture has indeed witnessed a form of ars erotica, encompassed in what she calls aesthetic sexuality'. To argue for the existence of aesthetic sexuality, Byrne examines mainly works of literature to show how, within these texts, sexual practice and pleasure are constructed as having aesthetic value, a quality that marks these experiences as forms of art. In aesthetic sexuality, value and meaning are located within sexual practice and pleasure rather than in their underlying cause; sexuality's raison d'être is tied to its aesthetic value, at surface level rather than beneath it. Aesthetic sexuality, Byrne shows, is a product of choice, a deliberate strategy of self-creation as well as a mode of social communication.

Download or read book The Thousand and One Nights and Twentieth-Century Fiction written by Richard van Leeuwen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 842 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is gradually being acknowledged that the Arabic story-collection Thousand and One Nights has had a major influence on European and world literature. This study analyses the influence of Thousand and One Nights, as an intertextual model, on 20th-century prose from all over the world. Works of approximately forty authors are examined: those who were crucial to the development of the main currents in 20th-century fiction, such as modernism, magical realism and post-modernism. The book contains six thematic sections divided into chapters discussing two or three authors/works, each from a narratological perspective and supplemented by references to the cultural and literary context. It is shown how Thousand and One Nights became deeply rooted in modern world literature especially in phases of renewal and experiment.

Download or read book Forbidden written by Suzanne Brockmann and published by Suzanne Brockmann. This book was released on 1997-04-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reissue (Original Publication Date: April 1997) His brother loved her... When Kayla Grey travels from Boston to Montana, the last thing she expects is to find her life in danger from a sudden, treacherous blizzard. And after she’s rescued, she certainly doesn’t expect to share heated, fireside kisses with the handsome, blue-eyed cowboy who saved her life. But then she discovers her hero is the very person she’s flown so far to find—he’s the brother of the man who’d proposed marriage mere weeks before dying in a tragic accident. Montana rancher Cal Bartlett devoted his life to his younger brother, Liam. Ten years older, he’d raised the kid, giving him everything his heart desired, including the top-notch education that helped Liam win his job as a foreign correspondent for a major newspaper—a job that got him killed two long, bleak years ago. But now Kayla—the woman his brother loved, a woman Cal shouldn't desire—has come to ask a favor. She’s heard the whisper of a rumor that Liam is alive—held in a secret prison, deep in the jungles of the tiny nation of San Salustiano. Kayla’s determined to travel to the dangerous, war-torn island with Cal, on the pretense of a romantic vacation, but in truth to search for clues. Together, they’ll risk their lives on the slim hope that Liam might still be alive. It’s an impossibly risky and dangerous journey—and the dead last thing either Cal or Kayla expects is to fall in love along the way.... Set in 1998 in Asylum, Montana, San Salustiano, and Boston, Massachusetts, Forbidden is a full length novel of 50K words or 212 pages. It’s the first in Brockmann’s two-book Bartlett Brothers series. Forbidden was originally published in 1997 by Bantam Loveswept.
Book Synopsis The Forbidden by : Galdã3s Benito Pã(c)Rez
Download or read book The Forbidden written by Galdã3s Benito Pã(c)Rez and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benito PÃ(c)rez GaldÃ3s, considered Spainâ (TM)s most important novelist after Cervantes, wrote 77 novels, several works of theater and a number of other tomes during his lifetime (1843â "1920). His works have been translated into all major languages of the world, and many of his most highly regarded novels, those of the contemporary period, have been translated into English two, three and even four times over. Of the few â oecontemporary novelsâ of GaldÃ3s that until now have not come to light in English, The Forbidden is certainly among the most noteworthy. The story line concerns a wealthy philanderer, JosÃ(c) MarÃ-a Bueno de Guzmàn, who attempts to buy the favors of his three beautiful married cousins. He is successful with the first, EloÃ-sa, a grasping materialist who falls deeply in love with him. Then he rejects her in order to attempt to seduce the youngest, Camila. Meanwhile, the third, the pseudo-intellectual MarÃ-a Juana, jealous, seduces JosÃ(c) MarÃ-a. But it is Camila, healthy, impetuous and wild, who resists his temptations and holds our attention. The novelist and critic Leopoldo Alas, GaldÃ3sâ (TM)s contemporary, calls her â oethe most feminine, graceful, lively female character that any modern novelist has painted.â As a naturalistic study, in the manner of Balzac in particular, principal characters of GaldÃ3sâ (TM)s other novels (El doctor Centeno, La de Bringas, La familia de LeÃ3n Roch) become fleetingly visible in The Forbidden. In addition, the entire Bueno de Guzmàn family gives evidence of the naturalistic emphasis on heredity: they all display certain physical or mental disorders. EloÃ-sa has a morbid fear of feathers, MarÃ-a Juana often feels that she has a tiny piece of cloth caught in her teeth, JosÃ(c) MarÃ-a suffers bouts of depression, an uncle is a kleptomaniac, one of the relatives writes letters to himself, etc. At the same time, this novel shows the foibles of Spanish society where status is determined by oneâ (TM)s associates, by the wearing of finery, and by living on borrowed money. In their history of Spanish literature, Chandler and Schwartz call GaldÃ3s â oethe greatest novelist of the nineteenth century and the only one who deserves to be mentioned in the same breath with great novelists like Balzac, Dickens and Dostoievsky.â The Forbidden, written at the height of the authorâ (TM)s creative powers, is a major work and its publication for an English-speaking audience is long overdue.

Book Synopsis Elizabethan Fictions by : Robert W. Maslen
Download or read book Elizabethan Fictions written by Robert W. Maslen and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Elizabethan Fictions, Robert Maslen argues that English writers of prose fiction from the 1550s to the 15570s produced some of the most daringly innovative publications of the sixteenth century. Through close examination of a number of key texts, from William Baldwin's satircal fable eware the Cat to George Gascoigne's mock-romance he Adventures of Master F.J. and John Lyly's immensely popular uphues books, he sets out to demonstrate the courage as well as the considerable skills which these undervalued authors brought to their work. They wrote at a time when the Elizabethan censorship system was growing increasingly rigorous in response to the perceived threat of infiltration from Catholic Europe, yet they chose to write books of a kind that was specifically associated with Catholic Italy and France. Their topics were the secrets, lies, and acts of petty treason which vitiated the private lives of the contemporary ruling classes, and their vigorous experiments with style and form marked out prose fiction for years to come as shifty and perilous literary territory. These writers presented themselves as masters of the arts of duplicity, whose talents made them emminently suitable for employment as informers or spies, whether for the government or for its most deadly ideological opponents. Their sophisticated narratives of sexual intrigue had a profound effect on the development of the complex poetry and drama which sprung up towards the end of the century, as well as of the modern novel. This book provides a much-needed reappraisal of their achievements. _ _
