Book excerpt: Forbidden Narratives: Critical Autobiography as Social Science explores overlapping layers of voices and stories that convey the social relations of psychiatric survivor participation within a community mental health service system. It is written from the perspective of a woman who, in the course of working with the survivor movement, had a physical and emotional breakdown. Ironically, the author found herself personally confronted with issues she typically dealt with only from a distance: as a mental health professional, a researcher, and an activist. The author of this volume writes herself into her work as a major character. Narratives such as this have traditionally been forbidden as outside proper professional standards. Now they are claiming and receiving attention. Forbidden Narratives has the power to speak to a broad audience not only of mental health professionals but also policy makers, sociologists and feminists. It is about the breaking up of professional discourse. It demonstrates and signals profound changes in the social sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marta Veneranda, a Latina neoyorkina, finds that she inspires the confessional in people. In fact, when people come to her, they feel the need to reveal their most embarrassing and shameful stories. And through these reluctantly told tales, where characters enter and leave each other's narrations, Rivera-Valdes revisits and questions our most basic behavioral assumptions. In "Little Poisons," the narrator shares with Marta the minutiae of her self-help book–assisted liberation from her philandering husband, whom she will eventually poison to death, and whose mistress she will befriend: "In the fifteen years of marriage he would tell me everything, even about his sexual escapades-if he couldn't share them with me, who would he share them with? Besides, that way no one could come running to me spreading rumors." Beneath the humor is a dead-serious scrutiny of the commingling of Anglo and Latino cultures. At heart, the stories are an exposé of the comforts and discomforts of that cohabitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amilkar is a character that from a young age demonstrated intellectual capabilities which provided him with a premature knowledge of the hardships of life. The separation from his family upon enrolling in a seminary rewarded him as he acquired a formal and structural knowledge of religious and moral aspects. Some people play with the values and beliefs of religion and confuse the term with another word - church, he would say. Religion inspires human values, while the church is the social hierarchical structure that administers the means by which said values can be applied. If the church fails, religion becomes corrupted. On another level, university taught him how to apply these same values for the benefit of humanity. Amilkar understood that in order to apply spiritual values, the body had to be nourished, and this was the real crisis of his country the unfair distribution of the wealthy. This second experience, along with a teaching career, helped him to understand the reasons and motives behind the attitudes and conducts of the students whom he helped, with the only intent to bring them out of the abyss of ignorance in order to introduce them to society as well prepared citizens for the benefit of mankind. Finding issues was not difficult they could be seen everywhere: hunger, unemployment, single parent families, and misery. Solutions to these problems required political structures to be involved. This aroused unnecessary crimes against priests, teachers, leaders of worker unions, and many hundreds of innocent people. Crimes justified only by lies and savagery. Amilkar dedicated himself to the search for passive solutions and this eventually led him to exile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses how theories of queer performativity, as articulated within the US Academy, are unable to capture the whole of Latino American queer subjectivity and experience. The Avowal of Difference explores the potentialities and limitations that queer theory offers in the context of Latino American texts and subjects. Ben. Sifuentes-Jáuregui contrasts Latino American sexual genealogies with the Anglo-European coming out narrativeand interrogates the centrality of the coming out story as the regulating metaphor for gay, lesbian, or queer identities. In its place, the book looks at other strategiesfrom silence to circumlocution, from disavowal to indifferenceto theorize queer subject formation in a Latino American cultural context. The analysis of texts by José Lezama Lima, Luis Zapata, Manuel Puig, Severo Sarduy, Junot Díaz, and others offers a comparative approach to understanding how queer sexualities are shaped and written in other cultural contexts. The Avowal of Difference is a delightful critical encounter between queer criticism and Latino American literature and culture. I wish I had written it myself. Ramón E. Soto-Crespo, author of Mainland Passage: The Cultural Anomaly of Puerto Rico

Book excerpt: In the tradition of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Sapiens, a winner of the Royal Society Prize for Science Books shows how four tools enabled has us humans to control the destiny of our species "A wondrous, visionary work." --Tim Flannery, scientist and author of the bestselling The Weather Makers What enabled us to go from simple stone tools to smartphones? How did bands of hunter-gatherers evolve into multinational empires? Readers of Sapiens will say a cognitive revolution -- a dramatic evolutionary change that altered our brains, turning primitive humans into modern ones -- caused a cultural explosion. In Transcendence, Gaia Vince argues instead that modern humans are the product of a nuanced coevolution of our genes, environment, and culture that goes back into deep time. She explains how, through four key elements -- fire, language, beauty, and time -- our species diverged from the evolutionary path of all other animals, unleashing a compounding process that launched us into the Space Age and beyond. Provocative and poetic, Transcendence shows how a primate took dominion over nature and turned itself into something marvelous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marquis de Sade is famous for his forbidden novels like Justine, Juliette, and the 120 Days of Sodom. Yet, despite Sade's immense influence on philosophy and literature, his work remains relatively unknown. His novels are too long, repetitive, and violent. At last in The Philosophy of the Marquis de Sade, a distinguished philosopher provides a theoretical reading of Sade. Airaksinen examines Sade's claim that in order to be happy and free we must do evil things. He discusses the motivations of the typical Sadean hero, who leads a life filled with perverted and extreme pleasures, such as stealing, murder, rape, and blasphemy. Secondary sources on Sade, such as Hobbes, Erasmusm, and Brillat-Savarin are analyzed, and modern studies are evaluated. The Philosophy of the Marquis de Sade greatly enhances our understanding of Sade and his philosophy of pain and perversion.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While gender and race often are considered socially constructed, this book argues that they are physiologically constituted through the biopsychosocial effects of sexism and racism. This means that to be fully successful, critical philosophy of race and feminist philosophy need to examine not only the financial, legal, political and other forms of racist and sexism oppression, but also their physiological operations. Examining a complex tangle of affects, emotions, knowledge, and privilege, The Physiology of Sexist and Racist Oppression develops an understanding of the human body whose unconscious habits are biological. On this account, affect and emotion are thoroughly somatic, not something "mental" or extra-biological layered on top of the body. They also are interpersonal, social, and can be transactionally transmitted between people. Ranging from the stomach and the gut to the hips and the heart, from autoimmune diseases to epigenetic markers, Sullivan demonstrates the gastrointestinal effects of sexual abuse that disproportionately affect women, often manifesting as IBS, Crohn's disease, or similar functional disorders. She also explores the transgenerational effects of racism via epigenetic changes in African American women, who experience much higher pre-term birth rates than white women do, and she reveals the unjust benefits for heart health experienced by white people as a result of their racial privilege. Finally, developing the notion of a physiological therapy that doesn't prioritize bringing unconscious habits to conscious awareness, Sullivan closes with a double-barreled approach for both working for institutional change and transforming biologically unconscious habits. The Physiology of Sexist and Racist Oppression skillfully combines feminist and critical philosophy of race with the biological and health sciences. The result is a critical physiology of race and gender that offers new strategies for fighting male and white privilege.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sequel to "Classics in Cultural Criticism I" and "II," this volume extends the synoptic view into the present and thus systematically supplements the first two volumes. The overall conception is analogous to that of the predecessors and, consistent with the general design, the book is again the fruit of a joint labor of English/American and german scholarship. The contemporary critics dealt with encompass Raymond Williams ("Tony Pinkney"), Leslie Fiedler ("Walter Kuhnel"), E.P. Thompson ("Richard Stinshoff"), Fredric Jameson ("Ingrid Kerkhoff"), Daniel Bell ("Heinz Tschachler"), Susan Sontag ("Gary Grieve-Carlson"), James Baldwin ("Klaus Ensslen"), Theodore Roszak ("Thomas R. West"), Edward Said ("Gunter H. Lenz"), Christopher Lasch /"Rosita Becke"), Stuart Hall ("Ingrid von Rosenberg"), Kate Millett ("Blanche Linden-Ward"), C.L.R. James ("Jens David"), Adrienne Rich ("Elizabeth Meese"), Neil Postmann ("Peter Ludes"). The book is prefaced by the editors and again features bibliographies of the works of all critics under discussion."
